The appetite for strong drink in
men has spoiled the life of more
women-ruined hopes for them, scat
tered more fortunes for them, brought
to them more sorrow, shame and hard
ship-than any other evil that lives.
The country numbers ten, nay, hun
dreds of thousands of women who are
widows to day, and sit in hopeless
weeds, becaus their husbands have
been slain by strong drink. There are
hundreds Of thousands of homes scat
tered over the land in which women
live lives of torture, going through all
the changes of suffering that lie be-
tween the extremes of fear and dispair,
because those whom they love, love
wine better than they do the women
they have sworn to love.
There are women by thousands who
dread to hear at the door the step that
once filled them with pleasure, be-
cause that step has learned to real
under the Influence of the seductive
poison. There are women grooming
with pain while we write these words,
from bruises and brutalities inflicted
by husbands made mad by drink.
There can be no exaggeration in any
statements in regard to this matter,
because no human Imagination can
create anything worse than the truth,
and no pen is capable of portraying
the truth.
The sorrows and horrors of wife
with drunken husband are as near
the realization of hell as can be reach
ed in this world at least. The shame,
the Indignation, the sorrow, and the
scence Of disgrace for herself and her
children-the poverty, and not unfre
quently the beggarly, the fear and the
fact of violence; the lingering, lifelong
struggle and dispair of countless
women with drunken husbands, arc
enough to make all women curse wine.
and engage unitedly to oppose it every
where as the worst enemy Of their sex

The New York Granhic 6

The New York Graphic says
of the breakage of its big balloon ::
The break in the balloon bag,
when it was nearly inflated, was an
entirely unexpected misfortune.
The envelope had been carefully
examined and was supposed to be
proof against such an accident,
We are more deeply disappointed
and panied by this untoward event
than the public can be, and no re.
greet we can utter can express our
sorrow and pain ct this unlocked
for result. It is easy for outside
parties to impugn our motives and
condemn our work, now it has fail
ed; had the enterprise succeeded,
they would have treated it quite q
different way. We have only to say
that, having done our best to fit out
the expedition well and make it a
success, the accident fills us with a
sorrow the public can hardly appre-
ciate. It is matter of congratu
htion, however, that the accident
occurrd before the ascension took
place, and that no one was injured
by it.

Six Women $50 Through . saloon
in Mexican.

On last Saturday night our neigh,
boring town Of M'Keen, a little town
about eight miles east of this city,
was the scene of a little excitement
for few minutes, in which six wo-
men of that place were the principal
actors. Our informant states that
there hail been great many drunk
in the town during the day, and at
one time he counted seven lying
under a large shed, all dead drunk,
and among the number we're the
husbands of two or three of these
ladies, and at about the time the
ladies made the charge on the
"sheebang" they were in the saloon,
but seeing them coming they ''lit
out the back way. The women
were all armed with hatchets, and
commenced their work by knock
ing out the windows, sash, &c.
They next went into the house
and told the bar keeper that they
thought it was not healthy" for
him to stay. So he started for the
woods. They then commenced the
work of knocking in the heads of
the barrels, casks, &C., and empty
ing their contents in the street
When oil their work was done they
very quietley returned to their
homes The barkeeper has not
been heard from up to the present
writing. No arrests have been
made.-Marsball Messenger

A Southern gentleman who was at
Greenyille, Tenn, short time since.
tells the following: ANDY johnson
is as big demagogue as ever. A
countryman came into town last week
with bundle of jeans to have suit
Of clothes made for his negro. He saw
Andy standing on the corner and said:
We'll, Andy, you used to be the best
tailor in these parts, and l wish you'd
cut out this suit of clothes for my boy
Jim here All right says Andy,
and they stepped into a shop near by,
and in five minutes an ex-President
might have been seen swinging round
the circle Of negro, taking his lati-
tude, longitude, and bearings for a
suit of clothes.

A Man in Portland married a
widow. She had a fashion, which is
too common among ladies who have
buried a man, of giving him glow
ing accounts of the angelic virtues
of the departed. AS prohibition
is in force down in Maine, he could
not drown his sorrows in liquor,
SO he nerved his soul to a terrible
revenge. One night when his wife
was sleeping soundly, prehaps
dreaming Of the first victim of her
charmes, he arose from his bed,
took sledge hammer, and deliber-
ately raising it to his shoulders, he
marched to the graveyard, and
smashed the tomb of his dead rival
into little bits. Now, when his wife
says anything about the vii tues of
the dead man, he replyes, at may
be all very true, old gal; but he
can't smash my tombstone. There's
where I'm head

It is not unreasonable to suppose
that Governor Hendricks did. as far
as he was able, make the appointments
for a short service with his eye upon
the probable choice of the people
when they should be called on to
make their own selections. At any
rate he seems to have anticipated
their sentiments admirably in some
cases.-Indianapolis Sentinel.
IF the Sentinel means to convey the
impression that Gov. Hendricks was
not Influenced by partisan considera-
ton in the selection of judges his
course in this county is certainly lit
tie singular. Judge Kibbey, Repub-
lican, had been elected Common Pleas
Judge by a majority of 1,7SO over
Mr.. Geo. A. johnson, his Democratic
opponent, most of the majority being
in Wayne county. Now it must have
been singular calculation of proba-
bilities that enabled the Governor to
hit upon Judge johnson, who had
been defeated by such an overwhelm-
ing majority, as the probable choice
of the people of this county. Judge
Kibbey having proven himself a COM
petent and upright officer, the appoint
ment of his successor was clearly made
on purely partisan grounds, and will
be rebuked in the coming election in
an unmistakable manner by the tri-
umphant reelection Of Judge Kibbey
over all opponents.-Cam. Tribune.

Frank Blair's Opinion,

May not be worth much, where Gen.

ocratic enemies are compelled to give
him praise: He says, in speaking of
the President: well, now, let us talk
about Grant and the third term. 1t
will fit here. | never under estima-
ted the man. He has a great deal
more talent than he gets credit for
He is endowed with that unknown
quality called common sense. He is
very quick in his perceptions, a good
judge of horses, looks at circumstances,
weighs everything carefully, and when
his mind is once confirmed in his de-
duction he acts as decisvely and sue
cessfully as any man l ever knew in
all my long experience among public
men, Frank Blair.

Herr Heisch, a German scientist,
in recent paper on the pollution of
water by sewerage, furnishes a very
simple test to show whether water
is fit for general use. Good water,
he says. ''should be free from color,
unpleasant odor and taste, and sho d
buckley afford a lather with a small
portion Of soap. If half a pint of
water be placed in perfectly clean,
colorless glass stoppled bottle, few
grains of the best white lump shu-
gar added, and the bottle freely
exposed to the daylight in the win
dow of a warm room, the liquid
should not become turbid, even af
ter exposure for week or ten days.
If the water becomes turbid, it is
open to the grave suspicion observer
age contamination, but if it remain
clear, it is almost certainly SAFE"

France will never rest till she has
had another struggle with Germany.
No matter what form of government
prevails, Frenchmen will demand an
opportunity to wipe out the digrace of
their great defeat. Whether they
will succeed or not time alone can
show, but a renewal of the conflict is
clearly forshadowed by the thorough
reorganization of the army, and vast
military preparation constantly going
on in France.

From the Logansport Pharos.
The Value of Railroad Shops to a
City.

Col. Hill informs us that for the
month of August there were over L.
40 men on the pay roll of the Pan
Handle road. These men all live at
Logansport and are paid here, and the
road monthly disburses about $780,
600 in this city. This is most credit
able showing, and the results of the
policy Of securing the shops here is
every day illustrated in the thrifty
and rapid growth of the city, and the
permanent character of the popula-
ton. Twelve hundred men with their
families, or at least two-thirds have
families, is village itself of 1900 in
habitants. The $4,000 given to the
road was the best investment Logans-
port ever made, and not property
holder nor business man but who
has over and over again profited b.
this large increase to our population.
and will continue to do so in the fu-
ture.

In his remarks at the Exposition,
Senator Morton stated that he had in
his possession a proposition from emf
nent capitalists of Holland to build a
four track railroad from the Atlantic
coast to some point in the West, per-
haps indianapolis or Chicago, the
whole to be accomplished by private
capital and without asking for dol
lar Of national, State or county aid.
The Senator vouches for the entire
responsibility of the parties. This is
a most interesting announcement and
the whole country will unite in the
hope that the project may soon assume
definite shape The construction of
such road, immensely increasing the
transportation facilities of the country,
would do wonders toward cheapening
transportation and solving the great
and difficult problems now pressing
upon the people.-Ind. Journal.
