The Drink Curse.

"The appetite for strong drink in
man has spoiled the life of more wo-
men-ruined more hopes for them,
brought to them more sorrow, shame,
and hardship than any other evil
that lives. The country numbers
tens, nay, hundreds of thousands of
women who are widows to-day, and
sit in hopeless weeds because their
husbands have been slain by strong
drink. There are thousands of homes
scattered over the land in which
wives live lives of torture, going
through all the changes of suffering
that lie between the extremes of fear
and despair, because those whom
they loye, love wine better than the
woman they haye sworn to love.
There are women by thousands who
dread to hear at the door the step
that once thrilled them with pleas
ure, because that step has learned to
iCCl ulluSl tIlC liInuCllCG vi UuG SCtluC-
tive poison. There are women groan-
ing with pain while we write these
words, from bruises and brutalities
inflicted by husbands made mad by
drink. The can be no exaggeration
in any statement in regard to this
matter, because no human magma
ton can create anything worse than
the truth. The sorrows and horrors
of wife with drunken husband or
mother with drunken son, are as
near the realization of hell as can be
reached 10 this world, at least. The
shame, the Indignation, the sorrow,
and the sense of disgrace for herself
and children, the poverty, and not
unfrequently the beggary. the fear
and the fact of violence, the lingering
lifelong struggle and despair of count-
less women with drunken husbands.
are enough to make all women curse
wine and engage unitedly. to oppose
it everywhere, as the worst enemy of
their SEX"

A Palatial Residence.

The magnificent private residence
for Mr.. Ross r. Winans, the we'll
known millionaire, on the east side
of st. Paul street, between Biddle
and John streets, the erection of
which was commenced last spring, is
now practically completed. The
workmen are putting on the finish
Ing touches, carpets, etc., are being
laid, and by next week the dwelling
will he ready for occupancy. The
structure is said to be the finest pri-
Yate house south of New York and
when finished will excel in point of
beauty and elegance any dwelling in
Baltimore. A number of invited
guests, accompanied by Mr.. Winans,
will visit the house this afternoon to
make an inspection.
The lot upon which the house
stands is 125 feet front by 122! feet
deep. The house itselfis 66 feet front
by rs feet deep, and is five stories
high, with sloping mansard roof.
The style is French renaissance, and
the exterior resembles very closely
an old Belgian or French chateau,
around which fancy seldom fails to
cluster clinging ivy and historical as
sociations. What remains of the lot
has been transformed by the gard
ener into beautiful garden, at cost
of $4,000. Around the yard and
building is brick enclosure 10 feet
high and IA inches thick, which
meets at the northern and southern
corners of the house. The interior
of the residence is as magnificent
as the fancy of the owner can
make it. 1t is of satin, red oak and
ebonized cherry woods, inlaid and
carved, and in each room there are
costly mirrors. The hall runs the full
length of the building, and upon its
ornamentatiOn and decoration have
been expended alone $4,000. The
cost of the entire building and garden
will not be less than 1925, 900, and in
the construction Mr.. Winans ordered
that no expense be spared. There
are rooms in the basement for sixteen
servants; also laundry, kitchen, boil
er-pit, store room and drying-rOoms,
parlor and library. The other floors
are to be taken up with bedrooms.
The most striking features in the
architectural appearance of the house
are two towers, one at the front and
the other at the rear. They reach on
ly as far as the COrnice and remind
one of the pictures of KenilWorth
castle. At the side of each of the
towers rise four circular chimneys.
unique in design and made of pressed
red brick, with jet black cement, all
combined in one. The material of
which the house is built is pressed
brick and Long Meadow brownstone,
and the blending of color is rich and
perfect. Mr.. Winans will move from
his Hollins-street mansion ard oc-
cupy the residence on st. Paul street
as soon as finished. The old mansion
will be occupied by his sister. The
