An interesting experiment has been
thed by the seleCtmen Of q Massachusetts
town in the effort to mitigate the evils ol
an indisCtImlnate traffic in intoxicating
liquors, They tried prohibition, and found
that in their case II was not success.
Then they introduced the license system,
but lhe privilege was 80 abused, and they
felt the reflection upon themselves 80
keenly that they decided 10 makea change.
Recognizing that there is a golden mean
between the extremes of prohibition and
free rum, they induced one OF their own
number 10 take out a license OF the fourth
class, and this was the only one granted.
A stock Of pure liquors was procured, the
establishment opened under the direct
supervision Of the board, and the principle
adopted that while no sales should be
madeto be drunk on the premises, nor IN
drunken, partially drunken or irrespon.
sibIe persons, yet every person oil adult
age and intellect enough to qualify him
for citizenship should be trusted to use
lie own judgement in the use OF liquor,
until he has proved to have made q bad
use Of II. With the result Of this expert,
ment tho aelectmen express themselves
highlygratiaed. Drunkenness has actually
diminished, not been driven into hiding
and those who desired liquor for family ust
have obtained pure article at less thar
the usual price. But the greatest ad
vantage, they think, Is in having the trati
under responsible control; and the profit
Of the business should be devoted to thv
cultivation Of such moral forces as woult
cure every inebtiate Of an improper ap
petite for alcohol" With this object II
view, they have in contemplation th,
erection Of free reading room, 10 be sup
ported by the profits Of the dispensary
These profits since the system was begun
last May have been A,6Oj, and for The
whole year are estimated at $1,000. OF
course this new method OF dealing with q
vital question has, like every other limo.
vA'ion, been hatshly censured, especially
blythe liquor dealers and politicians, buI
the board find much TO encourage them ID
the improved condition Of Affairs In the
town ahdin the words otcheer which they
receive from outsiders interested in The
solution Of the liquor question.

Ter Is published tonight in the city papers

written by Judge Cochran, OF this city,
and published in the ISTELLIGEScRR last
November, the refrain Of which runneth,
"ws'yO beat EN-, beat 'sm bad"
There were q number ol speeches, one oil

quite Creditable, even, as they are, in

she was driven back by the smoke.
The fire was raging along the ceiling
making Its way to the upper floor, The
sister darted up stairs and found the room
full Of smoke. She took them TO the lower
floor and started back up stairs to
get the boys. The smoke was pouring
into the hall in the binding clouds and
when about half way up the stairs the
Sister met stranger. She made an ei.
fort to pass but he refused to allow her,
saying the boys had been rescued, and It
would be dangerous for her to go for them,
She reluctantly went back.
The alarm brought four fire companies,
and the flames were raging lercely when
the fireman got 10 work. They were in.
formed OF belief among the Sisters that
some OF the children were still In the
building, and made every effort to reach
the upper aoor.
In q short time the flames were beaten
back and the door Of the dormitory burst
open. The victims Of the fire were found
beneath 4he cots. Only two were touched
by the fire, but all had evidently been dead
for some time. Intense excitement.
