The resume the life of this re apected Jewish citizen reads like a story. He was born in Bretten, Ger many, and received an early education there. With ten young men about his own age, of eighteen, he "took a steamer Antwerp, Holland. At Antwerp they took passage for Am- erica, m a slow sailing vessel, and landed in New York city six weeks later. The memories of that voyage, with four : hundred other passengers, Mr. Uberndorfier says will never fade from him, What they suffered was fearful, crowded in the hold of the slow sailing vessel--everybody bunk- ing and cooking for him or herself, sea-sicknegs and disease~Mr. Obern- darfler says cannot be imagined. Pass- engers weres huried: at sea daily) They and friends, oO for sheountered storms, which blew them up near the eoast . of Newfoundland, bul finally the vessel sailed into the harbor of New York. Mr. Oberndortier worked in that city and other nélghboring places for some time, trading, and finally eross ed the horder into Canada, at Mon treal, 'He came to Kingston aboot fif ty-four years at the time whey the first GTR. train was run to the eity Junction.

Mr. Oberndorfier visited one of the men who crossed the ocean with him sixty years ago, when he was at the Chicago exposition, & few years ago, at the same time visiting his brothe: in Alabama.

Kingston, May 9.--(To the Editor)' I trust it 1s nol too late to refer an article which appeared in vour pa- per one week ago, and which been anxiously waiting for an able: pen to answer, but bong disappoint ed, I shall try, however ieebly, So myseli. 1 refer to the openly expressed opin ion of one of our license sommission- in Commercial Legislited Out *lers, and also to an editorial in your valuable paper, of which 1 have been a subseriber for twenty-five years, al- ways reading vour editorials with pro- fit and being usually in accord them on moral questions, but 1 must dissent entirely. irom your views expressed in your issue of Friday, Sid. From a letter written by Rev. Sellers to another paper, 1 have mission to copy expresses my views better than 1 can do, "let it be remembered that cut- ting offi a license simply means clos- ing a barroom, It does not shutting up the hotel, closing the din- ing-room, locking the stable. The ho- tel-keeper can go on furnishing ac commodation for the travelling pub- lie. barroom is nol an essential part of an botel. Ii it be said that a living cannot be made out of the busi- ness without the barroom, then 1 claim that toere are more in the busi ness than are needed for the accommo- dation of the public. There is a good living in the business without the bat for as' many hotels as this or any other city requires, as hus been proven in towns where local option is in force. My contention is that the bar room business is not a morally legiti mate business, and to compensate a man for being forced to go out of a bad business would be simply ridicu- lous. No man has any right to make a living out of a business that is hurt- ful to the best interests ol society, and pone will deny that this is true of the barroom business. With all my heart congratiilate the men who have been foreed to go out of a business that is hurtful to themselves and to their fel low men. 'Is there any compensation for the wives and children who have suffered during the years that these bars have been open? Have any letters of sym- pathy been written to the wives and mothers whose husbands and sons have gone home drunk from these open bars ? 1 the hotel-keepers whose are to all means have been May Ss. per- be compensated, then by compensate the homes that wrecked by this business," As to these hotel-keepers themselves "in short order, occupation," | would say they obtain their licenses for only one year at a titng, and have full knowledge of this when they go into the business. Other people have heen forced to go into lilferent. occupations through changes in the commercial world caused hy advanced legislation, . brought about hy the people desiring better things, und thére was no thought of compien- sating them. The law of compensa tion always holds good. We are all compensated by the better state oi things. Regarding the liquor traffic, the: more it is curtailed, the more li: censes cut off, the better for us. as a nation, the better for us as a city, better for the children, wives and mothers of those who drink, better for the fathers, hushands and sons, and better for the hotel-keepers thém- selves and their families. In closing | wish to say that, week, 1 stood at a shop window, Montreal stree:, opposite one hotels, whose license was not cut off, (where 1 have been told on market days the men can be séen lined up three deep in front of the bar) and saw two young men at 10.30 o'clock in the sorning come out so intoxica- ted they could scarcely stand. As 1 watched them staggering up the street, and saw them disappear in a back entrance to another hotel, I thought of the sequel. Who is to com- pensate those two homes for the misery and disgrace brought into them hy these two young men ? When will the time come when who exercise the frauchise will see that 'the best asset of our fair Can- ada is our children, and demand le- gislation that will forever put the bar which is an mnmitigated evil, from our midst ? ) finding without last on of the those Death to the Rooster.
