A QUEER LIQUOR LAW.

A peculiar liquor law has been intro>
duced into the Ohio assembly, body in
which some very cranky notions have orr
iginated. It provides that nobody shall
SELL give, or furnish intoxicants to be used
as beverage to any person who is not
legal habitual drinker, and does not have
with him certificate showing that he is
such drinker Any resident Of Ohio
more than twenty-one years Of age may
become legal habitual drinker by making
affidavit before the probate judge OF his
county. registering his name, age. resi-
dence, and occupation. and paying fifty
cents for registry and the certificate,
which the judge will theieupon issue.
Selling to a non-registered drinker is a
misdemeanor punishable with fine and
Imprisonment
The genius who framed this bill should
have gone a little further and provided
for the responsibility in case the drunk
ard after being licensed should commit
any damage. Suppose he became disor'
DERBY and it was necessary to fine him.
Who ought to pay the fine. the licensee
or the man who issued the permit, Sup
posing that he even killed somebody in a
drunken frenzy, is not the county judge
primarily responsible as he authorized the
man to get drunk, and if he is RESPONSE
Die why shouldn't he be hanged for muir
der, The probate judge would occupy q
very delicate position under this law
Luckily for this class of officials, how
ever, there is no prospect that the bill
will ever be placed upon the statute
book.

HANCOCK AND SEYMOUR.
A Striking Similarity Between
Them.

Two MEN MADE GREAT BY ONE EVENT
AND Both SUecUMB TO COMMON
FATE.
General Hancock, the pride of the
army; of splendid physique, martial bear
ing; the obedient soldier, whom war made
famous,
Gov. Seymour. the old time gentleman,
the pacific statesman. the idol of great
party
Both men standard bearers of the
democracy. the one as a soldier, the other
as statesman In the presidential contest
both dead; both dead almost at the
same hour!
This is a remarkable parallel and con-
trast between these two men. The war
period made both famous. Both were
patriots; both yielded to the same am
bition; both succumbed to the same
| fatel
Hancock apparently well one day, the
next. says the World. lis sinking step bv
step, like person descending a pair of
stairs
Governor Seymour, says the associated
press, has been gradually failing for eight
years. Both men, though of entirely
different temperament. yield to a common
fate.
Hancock's case was discovered BY an
eminent physician. at the very last mo-
ment to be beyond help, because, back
OF the malignant ulcer in his neck, was
a disc order which made living impossible.
Governor SeymOur's life for eight years
has been feeble, as the associated press
says because of serious attack of renal
inflammation some time ago, and his
death therefrom has only been question
of timel
Both Hancock and Seymour might have
lived many years had they known and
recognized the fact that they were each
of them victims of dangerous kidney
disorder. and treated themselves success.

passed out by the kidneys every day; if
they fail; disease runs riot through The

Deaths from kidney disorders are of the
the commonest occurrence among all
classes, but are more noticeable in these
two cases, because of the prominence OF
the victims. Thousands of cases of need

homicide occur every year, because peopl,

are manufactured by crushing the beans
