Smoking Out NEGROES.

Yesterday morning about two
O'Clock Policemen White and Corker,
who were on duty in the magazine
ward, heard suspicious noises in a
vacant house on President and Ran
dolph street and determined to inves.
tigste. They discovered three
suspicious colored characters named
Butler Perry, John Williams and Bob.
ert GourGip in the house creating dis
turbance and acting suspiciously.
They opened the door to arrest them,
when the trio sought large fireplace,
and concealed themselves therein.
When the officers approached, the
trio sseended the chimney, and al
though the house vas tw0-story and
halt one. yet one OF the tngiEives
managed 10 get up the chimney and
out on the roof, when NJ Was caught
and held The other two would rot
come ont and a fire was resented To
for the purpose OF smoking them out.
The fire Was kept up IN the chimney
for nearly three hours before the two
would give in, when finally they
dropped down and gave themselves
up. They looked ike rabbits that
were burned out Of y log, and
smelled swfully. -SaUGnnoh Recorder.

Alcohol Experiments on Pigs

It may not be generally known
that systemstic experiments upon
nigs are being made these days
e Paris by q group OF scientific mens
with the view of asceEtsining the pre-
else action of alcohol upon the pro-
cess of digestion, respiration and Sc
erection. IL a very interesting paper
upon these experiments by NJ. Du-
isrdin Beaumetz We find it stated,
with q touch of unconscious humor,
that the pig has been chosen to be
experimental upon because, in the
arst place, his digestive apparatus
closely resembles, in al essential re-
spscts, that OF man, and In the
next place, because the pig is the
onlv animal (besides man. We pre-
sume) that will uDgrudgingly consent
to be ''dosed" with alcohol. II was
the intention of the National tenn
persnce league to invite ID. Beaumetz
and his colleagues to aRIinternstlonsl
congress of scientific 'alcoboJists, +"
which was tn be held 10 London in
August next; We learn. however, that
the executive of the league resolved
yesterday to abandon this idea for
the present Further, We are given
to understand that the congress, at
Whicl the final results of the investi-
cations of Fl. Beaumetz aud his cosd-
tutors are to be made known. will be
held in the autumn at The Hague
Pail Mall Gazette.

WE PRINT elsewhere another
letter from the ready pen of
"Agnostic." The author af these
letters is a Gentle who has resided
In Utah for two or three years past.
He is a gentleman of education and
culture, lawyer by profession, and
a person Of large observation. He
has made the social aRd political
situation in Utah a subject of close
study, and his frank, keen and
vigorous communications are the
result. Every unprecedented person
must admit that he treats the
subject intelligensIy and correctly,
and as q consequence entirely
different from thekmanner Of those
writers who pass a night or so in
Salt Lake and then tell all about
the ignorance and brutalitysof all
the Mormons and noble, self
sacrificing qualities. of all the Gen
tiles.

THE DETROIT E0eaaing NeaOs
"a mass meeting of citizens of
Union City, Michigan, petitioned
Congress yesterday to abolish
polygamy in Utah. Forty thousand
citizens of Utah, petitioned Congress
at the same time to leave polygamy
alone. Now, what harm is the
pOlygamy gof Utah doing to the
people of Union City? Should
they not be able to stand it at a
distance of 1000 miles if the 10000
petitioners Of Utah can stand it IN
their houses? The zeal of people
nowadays to correct the immoralities
of other people, is one of the most
characteristic features of cotem-
porary saintliness.

Natural Whispering Gallery

The following has been handed in
for publication, and the News and
Advertiser will not vouch for it.
It is we'll known that the larger
part of southwestern Georgia is I'M
dermined with caverns, as the many
slime sinks" and underground
streams testify. A singular corrob-
grafton of this fact was discovered
yesterday. Mr.. B. Martin, the we'll
known builder, residing near the
south end of Broad street. was pass
ing thelartesian well on his way home,
and just after the worknen at the
we'll had quit work. Stopping a
moment, he looked down the pipe,
and wac about turning away. when
be thought he heard a singular rum
bling noise, among which be was
certain he could hear articulste
words. After listening intentIy he
was able to clearly hear spoken
words, among which were, Too
deepI" ''Get waterI" thine
knock off" ''Tell Mr.. BillingsH
and the voices ceased. The remarks
about Mr.. Billings gave Mr.. Martin
a clue to the mystery, aDd in short
time he had solved it. It ia we'll
known that Mr.. Billings has been
digging we'll at his mills, which are
distant about 2.000 feet from the
artesisn well, and has experienced
much trouble in getting water, hay
ing encountered q large cave about
khty feet from the surface. The
voices Mr.. Martin heard were those
of the men at work 10 Billings' we'll,
proving conclusiVely that there is a
direct communication between the
two points, the arch forming per-
feet Whispering gallery" OF course,
as soon as Mr.. Jackson puts down bis
casing this communication will be
cut of, and no trouble is anticipated.

rHK Rum TRADE.

One of the few interesting re-
ports published by government is
that lately issued by the commits
sioner of internal revenue, showing
the extent of the liquor traffic. 1t
shows the number of persons en-
gagged in the distillation or sale of
liquor, the gallons produced, the
ratio of retail dealers to the popu-
lation in the several states and ter
ritories, and much other information,
computed to July 1, of last year, when
there were in the country 170,64o
licensed retail dealers, ALP whole
sale dealers, and 5,2e3 Gistilleries
pro ducing annually 11T,7HS, $50 GAL
Ions Of liquor. The fruit distiller-
les, numbering 1903, produced but
1902, O09 gallons, which is included
in the total product. Of course
there are many illicit stills and un-
licensed shops, adding much to the
production and consumption of
whisky, but the official figures gofar
enough to be startling. These show as
may be demonstrated by simple
calculation that there is one saloon
fer every 800 men, women and chill
dren in the United States, or to
bring the matter down close, one to
about every hundred male persons
over is years of age. Now, as a
matter of fact, not so per cent. of
the males over 16 years old visit
saloons. Perhaps higher per cent
age than that drink, but they do so at
home on the private bottle princi.
pie. Hence, on an average, less
than fifty Of every hundred men
support the saloon. Utah. we are
pleased to say, stands above the
average of the whole country in the
matter of temperance. though the
showing made against her is not
such an one as she ought to feel
proud of. South Carolina heads the
list in the respect of temperance, or
the number of saloons to popula-
ton, making better showing even
than the prohibltory states. The
worst showing is that of Nevada,
which has saloon for every
six Of its inhabitants. The other
