Letter TO a Dissipated Son.

The following letter was once writ
ten by a father to son of dissipated
habits:
"My Dear Son: What would you
think of yourselfsif you should come to
our bedside every night, and waking
us, tell us You would not allow us to
sleep any more? That is what you are
doing, and that is why am up. Your
mother is nearly worn out in turning
from side to side, because You won't
let her sleep-that mother who nursed
you in infancy, toiled for you in your
childhood, and looked with pride and
JOY upon you as you were growing M
to manhood. as she counted on the
comfort and support you would give
her in her declining years,

Boys and Tobacco.

The writer has just met three small
boys in the street, two of them hard al
work smoking, and the other, a still
smaller boy, receiving the favor of an oc-
casional puff. If today a census could be
taken of all the boys who smoke, il
would surprise, and ought to distress,
our American people. For it is one
of the facts that has to do with social
moral and political degeneracy. We
pass by, for the time, any question as
to the effect of tobacco on the mature
man. 1t is enough for our present du-
ty to enquire into the effects of the hab
it upon the growing child. Tobacco
has no doubtful position in the list OF
toXics. No one need turn to the rec
ordS of anti-tobacco journalism, or to
the utterances of so-called reformers.
The mdterid mcdicd of the physician
speaks plainly:enough and all the au-
thors are in accord. Taylor, on pois-
ons and medical jurisprudence gcner-
ally, docs not fail to discuss it. While
it is admitted that, III those full-grown,
its effect may be temporary and that a
federation of it is established, yet so
pronounced is its effect on the nervous
condemning il for children. 1t is a
notable fact that the attention of the
American, German and French govern
mentS has been directed thereto in the
interests of those who are to do service
tor their respective governments. Sur
geon "A. {. Gorgas, medical inspector,
United States navy, in his article on the
"Efiects of Tobacco on YOUTH" gives
us, in full, the facts which led to its
prohibition from cadets in the Naval
academy at Annapolis, as it has since
also been prohibited at the Military
academy at West Point. When the or
der went into effect at Annapolis, the
class of diseases, such as headache, dis
ordered digestion, malaise, diminished
at least One-half in the next three
months. The sympathies of the pro-
tessors were in favor of its use, and
DR.. Gorgas is himself smoker, yet he
bears testimony that the resembling Of
the order, and the return to smoking
for year, had such unmistakable re-
suits, Gas that all the officers who had
favored the plan of unrestricted per-
mission to smoke, confessed that the
experiment had proved failure. p

Sborsc Department.

The steadily-growing popularity of the
Morgan horse, and the increasing demand
for animals bred from the best existing
lines of that blood, with pedigrees that can
be vouched for as authentic, has led the ed
itors Of this department to undertake the
collection and verihcation as far rs posi-
BILE. of Morgan pedigrees from the time of
the original Justin Morgan to the present,
In connection with this work we are also
investigating the pedigrees of all trotting
horses that have proved their powers of en-
durance by trotting fifty or more public
and recorded races each. We have already
received from original sources Il large
amount of important information in both
these lines much of which will he given in
these columns. For the completion of our
work. which will he published IN book
form. we want pedigree, description and
history of every meritorious stallion de-
seconded in direct male line from Justin Nor

There is no known family of horses so
noted for longevity and for maintain
ing vigor to the very last as the Black
Hawks and Norgans and no concern
need be felt for Star of the West on ac-
count of his age.
Judge Hayes is giving the old horse
noble opportunities and has right to
expect grand results.
Judge Hayes also owns and keeps at
Iiingwood Park the splendid bay stall

Judge Hayes says: "Rattler was an un-
beaten prize winner and one of the
most stylish horses ever shown in the
ring, and to whom Almont Rather and
his colts are largely indebted for their
grand style and bearing. Rather sired
two trotters in the 2:30 class; the dam
of one with a record of 2:19 II, the
dam of another with record of : 81

sons that sired 2:30 trotters, and a
daughter that produced Gloster 2:17,
who by many people was believed to
be the coming world heater when he
died. Stockbridge Chief was sired by
Vermont Black Hawk, the founder of a
great trotting family"

During the session OF the Senate yestef-
day Senator Mccreefy rose to d question
ofpriyilege, and complained Of the man
ner in which remarks OF his on the bill to
reduce the maximum,price toibe paid for
printing annual statements Of county
courts, made in the Senate on Monday,
had been reported by the Register. He
said that paper had tortured his Language
untilyit was entirely and and Numerically
opposed TO what he had really said. II
reported him assaying that he wasopposed
to newspapers, which was altogether 'un-
warranted by anything he had said. II
went further, and represented him as
claiming that this bill was in the interests
and for the benefit OF lewspapers-som
thing he certainly never did say.
. Mr.. McCrcery continued that reporters
were given seats on the floor OF the Senate
chamber only by the courtesy OF the
Senate, and II any reporter SO far forgot
what was due the members Of the body as
to misrepresent them, or any OF them, he
thought they forfeited any claim to the
continuance Of the senate's courtesy.
Mr.. Dawson jocularly said the Re1ister
had repeatedly misrepresented him, but
he indicated that he did not mind little
thing like that.
Senator Scott said he was once told by a
wise old friend never to quarrel with q
minister of the Gospel or newspaper
man, because either preached TO too large
q congregation to make q controversy pro.
titable TO his adversary. Mr.. Scott said he
was confident Senator McCreery had not
been designedly misrepresented by the
reporter. II any reporter on the Senate
floor had Internationally done a Senator O
wrong in his reports OF the proceedings
he was sure the offender would explain II
satisfactorily. There the matter was al
lowed to drop. 49,

slR:-Please allow me, on behalf of the
newspaper men OF this State, To enter a
protest against the action OF the State
Senate in passing Senator AIcCreery's
bill. tits direct stab at the newspapers
of this State and was SO intended. The
BILLS the outgrowth OF no public COM
plants, unless we except the statements
OF the uprising lii Raleigh county which
are no doubt true as painted in the
graphic language OF the Senator with a
grievance" The newspaper publishers
want to make Just one comment, however.
One Senator gravely stated that the coun-
try press does not understand the bill.
He Is mistaken. Theyunderstand it only
too well, and to their sorrow. 1t is pass
ing strange that the entire press oil this
State, embracing over one hundred news-
papers, including in its membership men
lust Us honorable and engaged in just as
legitimate business as the honorable
Senators, should be unanimously opposed
to this bill on the ground that it is unfair
and unjust and does not give even q rea-
sonable compensation. Senator McC reery,
Senator Flournoy, et al, may think they
know more about the newspaper business
than the editors themselves-but they do
not. NWe, OF the Bneered-at Country
pres" can hardly see the Justice Of the
position some OF these Senators occupy.
They vote themselves ten cents mile for
mileage and ride on free passes, and then
vote q newspaper three-fourths Of q cent q
word for advertising, ind If they don't
like It they needn't take it" The Senate
has declared by a formal vote that
the Country press" arc robbers and
thieves because they ask for lair pay for
their labor. In no State in the Union
are newspapers paid rs little for their
work as in West Virginia. We challenge
these Senators TO show q valid reason for
this reduction. Itwould seem that their
action springs from hostility to the press
for alleged wrongs inflicted, and the cold
facts arc liable to but this one construc-
ton, namely, that the Senate OF West
Virginia, lift had it, in its power, would
destroy the press Of this State.
Tho newspapers Of this State unani-
mously and earnestly appeal to the House
OF Delegates for fair play and that con-
sideration due a struggling press in a
sparsely settled State.

because she Is only eleven years old. She
was q Miss McCarty, her husbands name

know as much about housekeeping as they
should, much less at eleven.
