REASON DErHRONED
Poor John Mccullough Wandering Aim-
lessly Around.

New YORK. June 23.-The Mail and Ex-
press says: John Mccullough. the TRACE
dian, wandered about the Sturtevant
House in an aimless way this morning. It
was evident to the most casual observer
that he did not know what he was doing.
Clerk Hitchcock kept his eye on him. The
clerk had trouble with him ON Sunday af-
ternoon. "He has threatened to kill me, I"
said Mr.. Hitchcock. "If he comes near me
again I'll hit him. | don't care If he il ire
sponsible. Ii he is his friends ought to take
care Of him. Everybody in the house is
tired of him, but the Lelands are reluctant
to make any move in the matter"
Horace Leland said: "We will certainly
do something very soon. He is not capa-
BILE of taking care of himself, and is liable at
any moment TO do injury to somebody.
We have to watch him to keep him from
setting fire to the house. He doesn't even
know enough to eat his meals. We have
| telegraphed to his wife and sister, and expect
them here this evening. If they do not take
charge of him we will appeal to Capt. Will
liams. John is friend of ours but we
cannot stand everything"

would be to independent lines what the

ana TO prevent this, pools are made under

,lhVention OF Bessemer steel was all that
saved the railways. He thought the enact
ments OF Congress would never divert the
career OF railway corporations from the
destiny to which they are being conducted
by the influence Of Congressional laws.
Legislation controlling transportation is of
no service, and the strongest and best
managed roads would survive Notwith-
standing he deprecates railway commits
sions in general, as imperative, he conceded
that with time they might become, in a
manner, effective. He said that business
ingenuity devised too many schemes to cir
cumvent the restrictions against the rebate
system, discriminating ETC., for law to
that end to prove of any value. He did
not believe in governmental interference,
but thought that to realize tithe OF the
UtOpean schemes of reform and alleged
amelioration of the relations between the
railways and the people would require the
bringing OF railways under one manage
ment, or converting them into an arm of
the public service. The railways are public
servants, dependent for existence on their
friendly relations with the people, and shar-
ing the fortunes of the communities they
serve. Mr.. Adams pleaded exhaustion of
travel and speech to escape interviews, but
commented upon the pleasure and mental
profit OF his extended tour. He remains in
Omaha two days, and spends altogether
about two weeks in Nebraska and Kansas.

The Picturesque Capital of the Grand
r. Duchy of Baden.
This the capital Of the grand duchy
of Baden, is curious old place. 1t is
not so very old, either, as a century and
a half ago there was nothing here but a
huntingdon which the Margrave Charles
William had had built as a resting
place when out looking for game.
Every time that he came to the place
he was used to expressing his admira-
ton of the beauty of the site, and ole
day a courtier, Drawer than his fellows,
remarked that it really was a pity that
his Highness could not transfer his cas-
tie at Baden-Baden to the spot and
make it his home.
''Well, if 1 can't transport the old
ScblOSS, | can at least build a pala Q
here that viii be worthy Of the Site"

He gave orders to have the plans pre-
pared, and when they were placed be-
fore him he took up pencil and traced

should be built around the palace and

point whence radiate, on one side only,
wide avenues. which are united by SEMI

there is no town whatever, but the park

Like an Old Fool
Judge Pennebunker, of Austin, is an
irascble old man who boards and lodges
at the hostelrie of the Widow Flapjack.
The widow does everything in her
power to make the old man happy and
contented, although Judge Penne-
bunker is quite wealthy and really does
not need any outs de assistance.
The old gentleman used an arm chair
with stra ght back which the widow
thought was avery uncomfortable chair.
She determined to make things more
comfortable for him; so on the recent
occas on of his birthday she presented
him with a new rocking chair, and a
large bouquet.
Ihe Old gentleman was very much
pleased with the presents. He told the
widow that a rocking chair of that nd
was Just what he wanted, that he had
often sighed for it. He also was de-

A GREAT DRAIN.


The Retail Cost to Consumers of Whisky
and Beer in the United states.
The Chicago Tribune, though not
usually given to Temperance of the
right kind, has been making some cal
culations on the retail cost to consum-
ers of whisky and beer in tbs country,
which are about as star ling as those
made by tie fanatics" of which it
speaks so frequently. 1t says that "a
careful canvass of the fact5-in regard
to VIII sky-warrauts the conclusion
that the average price rad by the con
sumner is about $50 per gallon. This
fools up grand aggregate of $40
100000, or very nearly ten dollars per
head Applying the same comparison
as before, we see that this amounts to
something like a dollar per week for
ca 3h adult male in the United States of
America. This is for whisky alone. Al
loving the very moderate sum OF
eighteen dollars per barrel as the aver
are price paid by the buyer atretail, we
have - further total OF 1896, 900, 900 for
the beer that is consumed in the Coun-
try each wear Put the two together,
and we have $50 900, UO)-an appalling
sum to contemplate as the worse than
wastage OF our people. The Tribune
adds another item-that of tobacco-in
all its forms, which belongs to the same
category of eNr enditures. This is set
down at $780, 1000. Thinking peo-
pie should study these figures and COM

Extract from a Sermon on Intemperancc,
Delivered by Lyman Beecher, ID. d, in
1926.
There should be extended through
the community an all-peryad'ng sense
OF the danger there is of falling into
tn sin. lntemperance is a disease as
well as a crime, and were any other dis
ease as contagious, of as marked symp-
toms and Us mortal, to peryade the
land, it would create universal con-
sternation; for the plague is scarcely
more contagious or deadly; and yet we
mingle fearlessly with the diseased, and
in spite Of admonition we bring into
our dwellings the cOutagion, apply it
to the lip, and receive it into the
system
| know that much is said about the
prudent use of ardent spirits; but we
might as well $, eak of the prudent use

dence, the contagion will taKe-the fatal

FERROUS poison VIII tell upon the system
and the fangs Of the serpent will in
fiict death. There is no prudent use of
ardent spirits, but when it is used as
medicine. All who receive it into the
system are not destroyed by it, But if
any vegetable were as poisonous to rs
many as the use of ardent sp rits pro cs
destruct We, it would be banshed from
the table; it would not be prudent to

1t is not every minister who would
offer to pay the years public expenses
of whole New England city. Yet
that is what Rev. James B. Cooper, of
New Britain, Conn, is Just reported to
have done-on one cond ton If the
people Of New Britain, he said, would
stop drinking for one year, and give
him the money, he would pay all the
city taxes for them, including street,
sewer, water, police gas and electricity
charges. He would also pay the school
tax, doubling the sala les of the teach
crs, and building a new hlgh-school
building and Il new house for the Young
Mems Christian Association. Next he
would pay OIL the whole of tn" city's in
debtedness $3.50, 0OO), and throw in a
barrel OF flour to every poor family,
and a suit of clothes to every needy
person in town. Mr.. Cooper's offer is

THE New Hampshire Legislature has
passed law prohibiting the sale of
obscene and impure literature. This
was largely secured by the influence of
Miss Lucy j. Holmes, Nat onal Super

the hearty cooperation of the w. c. Il.

act prohibiting the sale of cigarettes or

THE use of beer was the first step in
one hundred and twenty-eight cases of
habtual incbrates, out OF the two hum
bred and four the super ntendent of the
Women's RefOrmatory Prison, at Sher-
born, Mass, has examined. Thirty
seven began by drinking whisky, usu-
ally rs punch, and twenty with wine.
Several hopeless drunkards among
them asserted that they had never
drank an intoxicant but beer
BhENUNT says that those who think
the world is going to ruin through rum
would see their error if they could look
back fifty years at the drinking habits of
New England. He drank freely until
1917, and was then converted to total
abstinence by speech of Chapin's;
and in 1860 Willard Parker scared him
so about tobacco that he has never
smoked since.
