Fall In the 4 Per Cent.

In New York on Monday the 4 per
oent. Government consuls fell to below
par (99 to 99t for registered.) The New
York papers think this is a sign OF i'm
proving property, since it tends to sho v
that there are more profitable uses for
money than placing it in 4 per cent.
bond. May it not be rouse OF the
brokers to pave the way for discount
of the new Treasury certificates which
are to be put upon the market on the
lst day of April. Since Resumption,
the money brokers have had nothing
to shave except trade dollars-and are
now striving to turn a penny on 4 per
cent. bonds and prospective per cent.
certificates.

An Asylum Tor Druu Il ards

The Philadelphia Medical Society
have prepared a bill, authorizing the
incarceration Of hab.tual drunkards in
ssylums, and vigorous effort will be
made to have it pass the Legislature the
present session.
1t provides that on th. petition ofany
inebriate or habitual drunkard, Or by
any relative or next friend, who shall
make the usual affidavit that he or she
has become habitual drunkard and is
unable to take care of himself or her
self or his property or her property, it
shall be lawful for any Court of Com
mon Pleas in the Commonwealth to ap-
point committe of the person
and estate of such drunkard,
The application however, must be ac-
companicd with the certificate of two
or more reputable physicians, who
shall make a personal examination of
the drunkard within one week Of the
date of their certificate
Under another section of the bill the
committee thus appointed shall have
the power to confne the habitual
drunkard for treatment and cure in
any inebrate asylum established or to
be established under the laws of the
State for a term of not less than four
or more than twelve months. This
period of confinement, however, with
the consent and appreciation Of the
Court, may from time to time be ex-
tended, until a complete cure or refor-
nation has been effected. The COM
mittes may also at any time, with the
consent of the Court, release the habit
ual drunkard from confinement.
The bill also proposes to make tho
estates of those confined liable for
their support. The term "habitual
drunkards" is construed to mean any
person SO addicted to the use of stim-
ulants or narcotics, or both, as to be
incapable of taking care of himself or
herself. or their property.

Halninx Arch biAhOn Purcell.

Archbishop Purcell of Chincinnati,
yesterday, received letters from Cardi-
nal McCloskey and Archbishop Wood,
giving the result of a conference which
took place last week between the Car
dinal and the Archbishops Of Philadel-
phia, Boston, and Baltimore relative to
the crisis in the affairs of the diocese.
Tho conclusion arrived at by the con-
ference was that the whole Catholic
Church in America should take up the
case of the Arch bishop of Cincinnati
and proceed, by regular organised
methods, to raise the money necessary
to pay his debts. Details of the plan
are to be elaborated hereafter, but the
Cardinals letter gave assurance that
the case would be presented at once to
the Bishops throughout the country,
and that Immediately after Easter
the plan Of procedure would every
where be promulgated to congregations
through priests. 1t was agreed at the
conference that in the charities of the
Church the cause Of the Cincinnati
Diocese should be given presumption or
preference over all others. The Cardi-
nails letter to the venerable Arch bishop
was very kindly in its tene, and has
relieved tie anxiety of mind of the lat
ter not little. The letter from Arch
bishop Wood, who was baptised into
the minis try by Archbishop Purcell,
was full of expressions of warmest SYM
pathy, and contained assurance that
the Diocese of Philadelphia would do
its full share in the movement to pay
the debts of the Diocese of Cincinnati.
A meeting of priests was held to-day,
at which plan was devised for the
relief of the needy creditors of the
Archbishop. 1t was arranged that
committees should be appointed in each
congregation to receive funds for the
purpose, and that prudent layman
should be designated to select from the
list of creditors names of such as are
known to be in suffering condition
all funds then received in the way of
charitable subscriptions will be divid-
ed pro rata among them. This course
has been found to be desirable in Or
der to escape attachments upon such
funds as the Archbishop is receiving to
relieve the destitute.
