ANTI-HIGH LICENSE.

In the high license debate before the
Supervisors Of San Francisco on Thursday.
the Secretary Of the Retail Liquor Dealers
Association, after reading a, lengthy pro-
test, in which a plea was entered for time
to reply to the petitioners, added in his
remarks before the Board that the saloons
OF San Francisco are not the cause, but
the result Of intemperance lie repeated
this startling statement by saying if there
was less intemperance there would be fewer
saloons. This remarkable logic fairly takes
the breath away. Disraeli should have
lived long enough to have secured this
brilliant bit for his "Curiosities." Let US
see, "If there is less intemperance there
will be fewer saloons" Exactly; but how
does this prove that the many saloons do
not make more drunkenness than fewer?
Carry out the logic to its legitimate con-
ciusion-suppose there were no saloons,
would there be as much drunkenness? II
intemperance causes the saloons what
causes intemperance? This unfathomable
wisdom OF the Secretary appears to us to be
equivalent to saying that if men would not
so into the water none of them would be
drowned.
GIVE me leave says Shakespeare's clown:
Here lies the water; good: Here stands the
man man; good: II the man go to the water, and
GROWN himself 1t Is, VIII he, mill he he goes:
mark you that; But if the water come to him
and drown him, he browns not himself: ArgaI
he that IS not guilty of his own death. shorteus
not his own life"
On such plane proceeds the Secretary
logic Now if he had been accurate he
would have stated that high license leeis-
lation Is regulation, not prohibition. 1t
Is regulation for revenue, order and
good government. He could not.
therefore, claim it to be intended
to destroy the saloon, but to lessen its
abuses. In business it is true that the de-
mand determines the supply. But pre-
clsely the reverse is the rule in intemper-
ance, the supply of the opportunity aug
ment5 the indulgence. So far, therefore.
as that law applies it is species of tenn
perance legislation-but to no greater ex-
tent than that The fire continued to
burn before Christian, despite the fact that
one constantly threw on water. But the
mystery was explained when another was
discovered behind the CRATE supplying the
flames with oil, and the reason why the
heat OF the room could not be decreased
was made clear. Now high license pro-
poses 10 regulate the supply of the oil,
reduce expenditure for the water, and Sc
cure a more economical and moral temper
allure for the municipal atmosphere.

SuELBYvrLLE, Ill, Feb. IA remark
able pension fraud has just been brought
10 light in this city In 1862 Jacob Rocll-
niger deserted from the French army and
came TO this country and joined the Union
forces. Fearing that the French would aid
the Confoderacy and that he would be-
captured and punished MS deserter he
deserted his New York company and en-
listed under an assumed name In the Ohio
infantry. In the original command he
was still accounted for, and was finally
reported as tasen prisoner In the mean
time he served, out his time In the Buck
eyeu company, was discharged and came
10 this city. About four years ago he APP
piled for pension giving his name as
Carmon, The claim was pigeonholed until
few days ago, when a special agent
dropped IN to investigate the case, and
made the following revelations; Fred
Roellinger of New York, Is drawing a
pension as the dependent father. OF Jacob
Andersonville another man claiming to
be Boellinger drew his back pay and boun-
ty and went TO Europe, while a third
named Cassidy Is drawing pension on his
own name an Jacob Roellinger in another.
Still n fourth, representing himself to be
Roellinger, made application, but was ap-
pretended and sent to the penitentiary,
while fifth applicant is now on file at the
department for the alleged widow OF the
soldier In question. Notwithstanding all
these complications the case Is now in q
fair way TO he cleared up, when the right
ful soldier will receive his dues.

THE aRRAT BOSTON FLOOD.



BosroS, Feb. 1.-The area at Roxbury
flooded by the overflow OF Stony brook ID
constantly increasing The water has
risen over a foot since yesterday, and
through some streets the current rushes at
tho rate OF ten miles an hour. Two square
miles Of the city Is now under water from
two to eight feet. The section covered Is
nearly oblong in shape and Is bounded by
Norfolk House Hill on the southwest,
Northampton street on the northeast,
Shawmut avenue ON the southeast and the
y. q =. X r. on the northwest. The source
OF the flood Is the bursting Of the confines
OF stony brook, near Norfolk Bill. From
that point tine riood has steadily progressed
toward the center OF the city proper. IL
has passed Arnold street, the old Roxbury
boundary, and has reached Northampton
street The cellars, and In some
instances, the first floors Of nearly n
thousand houses are flooded. In

lilies are more or less affected, and a con-
seryative estimate OF the loss TO buildings
and stock Is $4,000 The territory drain

DRIvE.wHIST.
A Game that is Taking the Place of Pro
gressive Euchre.

gresslve Euchre.
Drive-whist is raging in the East as
progressive euchre ragged iu the West
last season. 1t has been introduced in
limited number of Detroit homes by
ladies and gentlemen. who practiced ii
while visiting Boston, New York and
Philadelphia friends. Drive-whist is
not very unlike progressive euchre in
its general form. ANY number of Ia
bles may be brought into the game; one
hand is played and then the couple
change tables, advancing in rotation as
in progressive euchre; only in drive
whist the same partner is kept through
out the evening. Then. again. it is
more social, because each couple must
in the course of the evening meet with
and play every other couple in the room
unless, of course, there are more cou-
pies than there are hands played; but
as it is possible to play from thirty to
hirty-live hands between the hours Of
and 1870 o clock, the last contingency
is not likely to arise. Players assert
that the game Is very fascinating,
10 play drive-whist the host or hostess
must procure score cards in sufficient
number SO as to provide each couple
with one. These score cards are made
like dancing programmes to be fastened
by . cord. and give space at
the top for the lady's name and
address, and opposite the gen
tleman's name whose partner she is.
Below the card is ruled in spaces SO
that there is one column for points won,
another for points lost. and third for
the names of your opponents. The
manner Of choosing partners for the
evening is left TO the ingenuity of the
hostess, and different ways are adopted.
One is to write the gentlemen's names
on the score cards Gone name on each
card) and then lei the ladies draw one
card each. When partners are once
selected they are kept throughout the
evening. The cards are dealt and one
hand is played. At the end one couple
at each table has won number Of
points and the other couple has lost.
The gentlemen then make record.
each on his own card, of the points won
or lost, with the names of the other
couple. The losing couple at the table
then change places, each going to the
next table, and the losing couple at the
head table going to the vacant place at
the foot Another hand is dealt and
played, another record made, another
change of positions follows, and the
game goes on. At the close of the
game, when the number of hands pre-
viously decided upon have been played.
each couple adds together all the points
won and all lost, and this determines
the difference The couple that has
won the greatest number OF points is en-
titled TO the head prize, and the couple
that has lost the greatest number of
points gets the foot prize. The prizes
are provided by the host or hostess. or
If club meets to play it procures prizes
from its club fund for thatpurpose. The
score cards are given to the ladies at
the completion of the game.-N y

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Two workmen In a shan Have Very
Lively Time.


NEW YoRK, Feb, u. 2.-Thomas Dean aud
John Gee, laboron on the adueduct al
Shaft No Q, Sleepy Hollow, at daybrcak,
yesterday, undertook 10 convey 10 tho
heading Of the shaft two cases Of giant
powder, each weighing fifty pounds The
explosive was on q car drawn by mule
On the same car, although contrary 10 the
orders given 10 the workmen, were several
cans containing kerosene oil, and ON one of
the ca rested a lighted miners lamp
Suddenly the mule baked and kicked and
overturned the car The lamp set fire to
the oil, and Dean and Gee started for tho
heading Of the shaft 1000 feet distant
They had nearly reached the opening when
the expected explosion occurred Several
cars were utterly demolished, and the air
was filled with fragments of rock aud tim
her. Neither OF the men. however, was Sc
riously injured Gee was slightly bruised
by some Of the flying fragments, and also
suffered somewhat from the concussi on
OF the air. Dean was lifted off
his feet and thrown up against
the roof Of the tunnel He also
received some bruises. but he suffered
mainly from fright The mule, as II aware
of the serious results Of its friskiness,
kicked itself from its traces and initiated
its drivers In taking immediate flight Al
though the men had the mule Handicapped
by good start IL was a close race between
the three TO see which should reach the
shaft first. The mule had slight advan-
tage, as the men were about as anxious to
keep out Of its reach As they were to get
away from the dynamite.
