Philadelphia (8peclal).?Nearly 30,000 veterans of the Civil War marched through the streets of this city. The sidewalks were crowded with hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic people. President McKinley began the day by driving over the route of the parade, which took place later, accompanied by members of his Cabinet and other distinguished visitors. The party reached the reviewing 3tand at 10 o'clock, and soon afterward the procession of veterans began to move. The head of the column moved at 1C o'olock down_ Broad street.

General James W. Latta, of this city, was Chief Marshal. The President made a visit to the warships of Rear-Admiral Sampson's squadron ana went aboard five of them. The visit of the President to the squadron proved to be the greatest marine spectacle ever seen here. The President was the flr?t to step on board of the flagship from the steep ladder that hangs over the' New York's side, and as he did so the entire squadron Bred the President's salute of twenty-one guns, or 126 guns In all.

When the President was Introduced by the toastmaster to the diners he said: "It has given me great pleasure to be asloolnted with you to-day. I have been deeply touched by many of the seen*' which all of us have witnessed. With th? joyous side of the glad reunion of old com' rades who fought side by side in a common cause and for a common oountry, there was the other sad side, that so many of oui comrades who two years ago had marched proudly with you through the City of Buffalo are no longer in the ranks. "The blue and the gray march undei one flag?we've got but one Hag now?th( same that our grandfathers lifted up, th< same our fathers bore, and that flag which you kept stainless and made triumphant forevermore. "I may be pardoned for sayintr In tbls presence that this has been one of the hap piest days of my life, looking In the faces of my comrades. They are getting a little too old for war, but they are all right. That during last year and this summer we were able to convene 250,0(70 of the besl young men In the United States was due to the example of your patriotism aud the Inspiration of your example."

Charleston, 8. C. (Special).?Shipwreck ai cannibalism and raving lunacy form the fabric of a harrowing tale of tbesea brought ^ to Charleiton by Captain Robert MUburn, ju of the British stea-ushlp Woodruff, bound |y here from Hamburg. The story or tne ter- m rible sufferitfg was emphasized by the ap- Ri; pearance of two of the actors In the hor- a! rlble tragedy. They are Maurice Andersen ^ and Goodman Thomas, survivors of the ij| 3rew of tho Norwegian bark Drot, which of jailed from Pascagoula f^r Buenos Ayres 01 on August 3. The men wpr'e picked up from i raft by the Woodruff 253 miles south of 1 Charleston. Andersen is a raving maniac, t with only little chance of again becoming a sane man, while Thomas is so weak and exhausted that it will be a marvel if he re- m, gains strength and recovers his health. Andersen is a Swede, while Thomas comes , from Stevanger, Norway. The Drot was wrecked in the West . Indian hurricane, off the Florida Straits, :>n August 11. Nine members of her crew, Including the captain, went down with th her, while eight others succeeded in getting on a raft formed from a part of tfye vessel's deck. The following day the raft in broke In two parts, two men remaining on one portion of it, and six on the other. The d] German steamship Catania picked up on9 CJ if the two seamen and carried him to ^ Baltimore. The only survivors of the party of six are Andersen and Thomas. The men lived fordavs on the raft without water, and witli only such looa as was u supplied to them by a small fishing line one of the mea had la his pooket. After enduring untold torture the flsher- ?. man lost his mind and jumped Into the sea, ? carrying his fishing tackle with him. The r five remaining men were then left with ?r neither food nor water. Two of them sick- UI sned and died, and the three survivors irank their blood and ate their flesh as |a 300n as the breath hail left their bodies. tr Andersen and Thomas have declared these tu sailors did not die of violence, and la view q, of their frank confession In regard to the q( killing of another comrade, It is probable ^ that they are telling the truth. qj When only three of the original six were ca left alive, it was agreed that one should 0I die to supply food and drink for the ottier /v two. It was determined to cast lots to Dl settle who should be the victim. A. German ? seaman, whose name cannot be learned, n( lost. Faithful to the compact he had made, he met death without a struggle or a protest. Anderson and Thomas killed &l him with a kuifo and drank his blood. c Thoy lived tor two days on his fle.?h. When discovered bv the Woodruff the raft presented a terrible spectacle. The two crazed seamen sat beside the three 4, bodios. Thomas was throwing bits of . human flesh to sharks. Two of the dead bodies, half stripped of flesh, were decaying. The men were emaciated, covered e: with* sores and stains of blood and nearly. Tl mad. They told the men of the Woodruflf ep that they had agreed between them to cast lot9 to see which should kill the other.

A TEMPERANCE COLUMN. ^ THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST IN MANY WAYS. .1 ue urn uenei aooqi hui?t jquiiwj ^ at a Medicine Abandoned by Mod People?Some Ignorant Doctor* Whose Mind* Need to Be Dlaabueed of tbe Idea ' It is gratifying to note that 'there Is not flow that mistaken notion regarding the efficacy of whisky as a medicine which was at one time so widely prevalent among all classes of people. But the old superstition still exlsts'to some extent even among physicians, as the following story shows: A fow years ago my baby, then two years of age, was taken sp.rloasly ill in the city of Lowell, Mass. I called one of tbe leading physicians. He examined the child very carefully and scientifically, and I watched him very closely. When he bad finished the ex amfnatlon the first question he auked was, "Have you any whisky In the house?" I replied, "What do you find to be the trouble with the child, nootor?" "0," he said, "there is a little inflammation in the intestines." "Bat," I said, "doctor, you- ought to know about this matter better than I do, but It really doesn't seem to me that whisky Is the proper remedy to give a Shild two years old for inflammation In the intestines." "Well," ha said, "I guess we can get along without it:" and we did. The child got better. A few weeks later I moved to 8omerswortb. where tbe obild was taken slok again. I called u local phyilclan of tbesame school. He examined her In precisely the Eiimq, way as did the former physician, and I watched him very closely. When he had finished I asked, "What do you find to be . . the trouble with the child, dootor?" and he replied, "There is a little inflammation in the intestines." And then I said, "Do you want some whisky?" He looked at me in > ' s astonishment. "Why," he said, "why do you ask that question?" I replied that I did not know but that wbislcy was the regulation prescription for all children when sick. He said that be was very careful how he prescribed liquors for children in any case, but In a trouble like this whisky would be about the worst thing one could give the child. I relate here this that you may know that when your physician prescribes whisky for your babies or for yourself It may be wwli to mix tbe dose with a.llttle "horse sense."?Sacred Heart Review. . , j. ^#1 Every Young Stan Should Bead This. The business world recognizes that nc man who drinks is as good a? he would be if he never drank. Time was when in some lines of business it was considered necessary to drink. Quite the oontary is the case now. Even saloon men prefer men who do not drink the liquids tbev sell. All the fairy tales about great things people do when under the influence of liquor have beea exploded. The orator who must be intoxicated in order to make a speech la no longer here and bos never been bere. Tbe lawyer who can not plead a case or cite an authority without spending tbe night before in a barroom has cone to visit the pale glimpses of the moon and he has al- ^ ways been gone. The writer who produced a great poem or a great essay while -Xg maudlin, removed from this planet before tbe command, "Let there be light" wot given. Tbe bookkeeper, clerk, mechanlo( salesman, artisan, young or old, is not at bis best when under the influence of llquoc and he Is not as valuable to himself, his employer, or society. Can lie? Most people despise a drunkard. Miserable wretches are they in act, thought and appearance. We miss in them the thing that makes a man so infinitely superior to a brute. They cringe like cowards, grovel like reptiles, and debase and befoul the image of the Almighty. Poverty, x ' ; ] shame and dlsgrace'nre their companions, and they become actually loathsome. And yet they are not born so. It Is the drink habit which drags them down into the Vj mire.

Can the self-oontrollod moderate drinker, . with a glass In one baud, reach the other hand to his less fortunate brother ahd bid him be a man? Can he counsel him with any hope of success, to drink and let it alone? Canhesay, "Give it up altogether,'* unless he himself sots the example?" ' m Avoid Drinking Companions. Environment has a great deal to do with tbe formation of a young man's character. If he frequents saloons, or other plaoea where liquor Is dispensed, it he keeps company with people who drink, there is sure to be a gradual weakening of the resolve which he may have taken against liquor, and tbe result is almost certaiq that be will fall ftito the drink haolt: Young men, set your minds upon something higher than tbe companionship of those who frequent saloons. Life is altogether too short to be wasted in their company. Nothing good is to be learned from them, but much of evil may be acquired from contact with them. Vulgarity and obsconity are tlie marks wherewith they may be known, and it is folly to expect anything worthy or pura to exist among VUCUi* Specific Criminality. It is well to see la what crimes alcohol's influence is most marked. According to Marambat, of 3000 convlots exam ned by him seventy-eight per cent, were drunkards; seveuty-nine per cent, of those were vagabonds and beggars; fifty per cent, of the assassins and flfty-seven per ceat. of the incendiaries were drunkards. Marro found that the drunkards stood in the first rank of highway robbers, eighty-two percent.; Vetault found among forty alcoholic criminals that there were fifteen homicides, ei^ht thieves, Ave swindlers, six assaulters (on women), four assaulters (wounding), and two vagrants. Grog and the Soldlera. "k tsnn who can not do without hla grog," says an old veteran, "has no business in the army, and will never make a soldier. It is the rankest nonsense to say that, if enlisted men can not have access<:o beer, they will drink smuggled whisky. There is no need of their haviog access to whisky. Sharp inspection by company commanders, acd swift punishment of men found with whisky on them or in them, will soon put a stop to that." Show Your Colors. "Every total abstainer," says the C. T. A. News, "should carry upon his breast the emblem of the organization to which he has given his allegiance. The members of all other orders display as publicly as possible the badge adopted by their organization to signify membership." The Crutade In nrief. The world consumes 17,700,000,000 quarti of beer annually. Th? anhftr man is alwavs an lmDrovement on the drunken mnn. Ia the race of life the temperate man haa the be9t of it; the drinking man is handicapped. Oreat things hare been done while the brala was excited by stimulants, but greater things won 11 have been done had there been no artificial stimulants. Wearing the badge is the displaying of one's colors, and the colors of the total abstainers can not be displayed too publicly, for the evil against which they are battling is a public one. Shallow-pated young men whose idea of a "good time" con-ists In sodden drunkenness may laugh at a companion who Is a total abstniuer from liquor, but the laugh will be on them by-und-by. Wo can understand how a man may be ashamed to be afflicted with the vice of drunkenness, but the man who iu a crowd of drlnlrlnp f?omn;inions Is ashamed of avowing himself a total abstainer la beyond comprehension. The Duke of Argyll, who owns the Island of Iona, will not allow any one there to keep a public house. The residents are la a very happy stat?, for no policeman 19 needed, although several hundred people live on the island. Rev. Madison C. Peters says: "In the city of New York are 7000 saloons, or one for every 200 people. These are hotbeds of vice?breeding places of crime. With the exception of a few Germans, they are kept by low. Illiterate, blasphemous, obscure men, full fifty per cent, of whom art* coavlct9." ^' I
