Lunches in Liquor Saloons.

New Orleans Picayune.
The man who can give a fine free
lunch of soup, beef, fish, vegetables,
butter and bread to a customer who
pays fifteen cents for glass of liquor,
could afford to give a much finer
lunch for fifteen cents without liquor,
as a reasonable matter of business !;
but no temperance man has the nerve
to try it, and clerks are learning to be
drunkards on account of the lunch.
The temperance idea of a lunch for
fifteen cents is glass of sour milk
and water, and a hardware sand
witch. This does not seduce the
stomach, and the liquor man wins.

Arrested for Assaulting Women.

Yesterday Roland Canady was brought to the
station house by officer Ward, and locked up,
the charge of assault and battery being pre-
ferred against him. Last Tuesday night an old
German woman and her daughter, who live in
the southeast part of the city, were returning
from the roller-coaster when a negro stopped
them He caught the young woman, who, after
bitter struggle, during which she scratched his
face severely, succeeded in escaping. Her
mother ran when the negro first approached
them. Officer Ward thought he knew the man
by the description reported to the police He
has been waiting for him all week to return from
his work in the country, and yesterday he ar
rested Canady and took him to the lady, who
identified him as her assalant. The marks of
one or two scratches were found on his face, but
Canady says he can prove an alibi. He claims
he was IN the country Tuesday evening, and did
not return until yesterday.

The Cholera Epidemic of 1882.

10 the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
The New York Suns historian of THE Great
Pestilence' is at fault in some of his data as to
its spread in 1892 1t did not spread along the
great lakes to Detroit and Chicago and then
throughout the Mississippi valley" Does he not
know the country was not then checked with
railroads extending to the Mississippi rivera
And he also would know, had he studied school
geography and atlas, that the country from
Buffalo to that river was then wilderness,
comparatively. Yet, he says: 1.-THE scat
tering of the people from New York took the
disease to every quarter Of the compass, so that
while it was following one path up the ST. Law
renee and down the Mississippi it was, from
another focus extending everywhere inland"
Had he written ito every quarter of the compass
around that city," it might be reasonable; but he
writes as though the people could jump upon a
train of cars then, and, as now, in few hours
reach the Mississippi and Everywhere inland "
spreading cholera as they went Yet there were
no railroads to the West. and no way of getting
to everywhere inland and the Mississippi. but
by mud roads and through widernesses:
hence the number of people who escaped by that
way and in that direction could, very likely, be
numbered on his fingers He says: In Cincin-
natl there were 307 deaths up to Aug T." All

The Temperature Yesterday.

The weather yesterday was about the only
subject of general comment, and the remarks on
it were anything but approving. The sigma
service thermometer at 2 o'clock in the after
noon, indicated ninety-one and fve-eighths de-
grees Fahrenheit, while the thermometers in the
business houses and residences varied between a
maximum of 50 to los degrees, the temperature
being the highest during the year. The heat
was intensified by the still atmosphere and il
was simply almost insufferable. There were
however, no sunstrokes, so far as reported
Warmer weather for to-day is predicted by the

A GEORGIA CONVICT CAMP.
The Way in Which They Are Treated by
Lessee.

The Way in Which They Are Treated by a
Lessee.
Atlanta Letter.
The Hon. James NJ Smith has got rich out
of the convict farming business. A few years
ago he had a very old house, without carpets, or
his plantation; now he has an elegant residence
Brussels carpets, and all the luxuries
of life He runs $50 plows. and
5000 in cotton 1000 in small grain, and the
remainder in corn. There is one cotton field OF
800 acres. Mr.. Smiths wealth is estimated al
5000 900, all made from farming since the war.
The Athens Banner Waterman is authority for
the statement that the medical treatment at the
Smith farm is decidedly novel; On Sundays al
those who are sick come up to be examined by
Mr.. Smith. 1t matters not whether their trouble
be headache, the measles, summercomplaint
or stone bruise, the remedy he invariably
prescribes is six pills of kind which he always
keeps in stock. The mortality at the camp,
strange to say, is not above the average OF
other camps.
At the present time Mr. Smith has over one
hundred convicts on his farm, and about fifty
working on the railroad-for each of whom he
receives 81 per diem. On each convict he makes
a handsome profit The men and women are
all chained together with heavy shackles, and
are confined in big stockade built of pine logs.
The whites and blacks are fastened together and
eat and sleep together.
In view of the popular feeling of indignation
which is every day attaining larger proportions
in the State, it is highly probable that the leg
isature will take some steps toward breaking
up the existing system and following the peni-
tertiary plan now in use in Pennsylvania. The
people of Atlanta are fully aroused and are de-
manding change. Some few of the legislators
are opposing any movement in the matter on the
ground of economy and that most of the con-
victs are only niggers." Despite this opposition
it is thought bill may pass providing for a
house of correction. At the present time mere
children are sent to the chain gang where they
soon become hardened to vice of all kinds and
every chance Of reforming them is lost.

Washoe Valley. It was uninten.
tional on the part Of the farmers.
They opened the food gates At the
north end of the lake for the pur-
pose of irrigating their fields, and
there being no screens across the
outlets the fish passed through and
out on the meadows, where they
persisted by the millions. 1t is the
duty Of the Fish Commissioner to
see that screens are properly placed
to keep the fish in the lake. The
State appropriates money for such
purpose, that is, the proper protec-

have screens so placed at the Diff
ferent outlets of Washoe Lake that
the fish therein will be protected.

The following is from the Post ::
The member of the Nevada Legis-
lature who introduced the Anti
treating law is the first man to be
arrested for breaking it. He was
distinguished, also, among his
brother legislators as being able to
drink more whisky than any of
them without staggering under the
load. The introduction Of his
celebrated bill was intended as an
aid to a desperate attempt at per-
sonal reform. The Legislature, be-
ing in a humorous mood, adopted
the measure, and so sent abroad a
totally erroneous notion Of the
state of the public mind with ref
erence to the temperance question.
A man who does not drink would
attract as much curious attention
in Nevada as would be given one
who should promenade Kearny st.
without his hat.

rounded by his friends, all ofwhom
were celebrating the victory at

porters questions, the merchant
said: This victory is nothing
more than we have long expected.
The trouble is that the French au-
thorities, in order not to lose pres
tige in the eyes of other nations,
haye systematically lied in regard
to their Tonquin campaign. The
victories they have reported have
invariably been little skirnishes in
which a corporal's guard on either
side has been nagnifed into an
army. On the other hand, their
defeats have always been returned
as skirmishes.
