Mr.. Stead, in his zeal, committed a tech

quite clear that the abduction complained
of was made with the intention of doing
good and Lot evil, and to show, without
injuring this child, how easily other girls
similarly situated can be abducted for the
vilest purposes without detection or inter
ference. Whatever may be thought of
Mr.. Stead's course, he certainly did IN

depravity and crime of which the reputa.

faint conception. 1t is very remarka-
BILE outcome of this famous exposure that
the only prosecution resulting from it has
been that of the perhaps over-zealous peo-
pie who made the exposure, and, with
the best intention, committed an offense
against the criminal law which they did
not when committing it recognize as
criminal. The majesty of the law having

The re opening OF John Roach's ship
yards is good thing for the employe
and operatives. but il is, to put it mildly,
an odd occurrence. Mr.. Roach was as
sailed by his political opponents. His
work was impugned. He stopped and
made an assignment to protect creditors
and The property. The work was ex-
amined. 1t was accepted; the most of it
at its stated value; portion with some
deductions. Altogether, the great Ameri-
can ship builder stands justified, and now
the ships, unfinished, are to be completed
in the same yards, under the same con-
tracts and at the old prices; only that the
Government is to be represented by other
Supervising inspectors, and there is, per-
haps, to be some change in the amounts
and times of payment. Altogether, John
Roach, like another parsonage, is not SO
black as he has been painted; rather, in
deed, seems whitened.

TESTS WITH ALCOHOLIC the per-
formance of feats of strength and endur-
ance, as in the case of Weston, the famous
pedestrian, alcohol has been avoided and
IN the harvest field and the workshop,
and with contestants in ancient Roman
games, the advantage has ever been with
abstainers. The most conclusive tests have
been in armies in severe marches, where
accurate observations on large scale
have been made by intelligent medical
and commanding officers. In all such
tests, whether in hot or cold climates and
seasons-in Africa, India, Russia and
Canada--in our own country, aud every
where, it has been shown that those SOL
diers who abstained from alcohol cou ID
accomplish and endure more than those
who INDUCED in IL, however moderately
or freely. In emergencies, those officers
who allow its use at all, find that 1t must
be given when the men have accomplish.

their labor. 1t may then blunt the sense
of fatigue and promote sleep, but it les

The only contest made in Mississippi
was by the Prohibitionists for the control
of the Legislature and the passage of a
local option law, but it is not known as
yet whether they succeeded. The mea.
sure lacked only few votes of passing the
last Legislature. In the absence of all
other opposition, isms of various sorts are
likely to disintegrate the solid Democra-

Gen. Logan was born in jackson Coun-

pure Irish. His father was an Irish physi-
clan. There are many Irishmen who are
OF the same swarthy, straight, black
haired, high cheek boned, Indian type of
men as is Logan. There are several of
this type of Irishmen now residents of
Troy. Ex-Mayor Carroll is one of these
Indian-looking Irishmen. The ancestors
of the INDIAN Irishmen, as they are
sometimes called, were, it is asserted,
Ph@nicians who visited England add Ire

The Rev. DR.. O'Connell, who has been
absent nearly year, is now on his way
back to the United States with the de-
crees adopted at the Plenary Council

Nile. Rhea will begin her engagement
at the Theatre tonight in Howard Car
rolls new play, An American Countess"
The play was given for the first time in
Washington two weeks ago, and in its pre-
sentatiOn Mile. Rhea achieved anOtable tri-
umph. The critics say that the play may
be set down as "A success. Its plot is one
Of striking novelty. There is much that
is new and original in its development.
But the comparatively commonplace plot
and development are conveyed in dia-
lOgue that is always straight TO the point
that is. strong, terse and dramatic in
tOne-and the satirical points IN the play
are made dOubly strong by the striking
cleyerness and power with which they are
expressed.
The costume worn by Mile. Rhea is said
TO be a marvel of art. IL Is reported to
have cost 20.OOOf., and the Queen of
Holland came to Paris on four occasions
to have il made to suit her. The queen
subsequently, going into mourning on the
death Of the Prince of Orange, she pur-
chased the dress of Worth. The train Is
Of black satin brOcaded with large roses
of all cOlOrs and ostrich feathers covered
with gold. The front is OF yellow satin
embroidered with different varieties of
roses in chenille and birds of paradise.
The sides are trimmed with Brussels lace,
and the bottom with gold fringe over
scarlet velvet flOunces. The bodice is
trimmed with ostrich feathers cOloTed
with gold. Tomorrow night Mile. Rhea
will appear in Arcadia" The rush for
seats yesterday was exceptional, and the
engagement promises to be one OF the
most successful of the season.
