The Christian AdUocate, of this city,
quotes Robert J. Burdette as saying,
with reference to recent letters from
Paris, affirming that the writers could
not find a drunken man there, that
the only inference one could draw
from these remarkable letters is
"either that the writers themselves
were blind drunk all the time they
were in Paris, or the Partisan drunk
ard is most successful hider. Be-
cause, while our travellers last year
did not see a single instance of drunk
enness in Paris, the police records
state that the police of Paris saw and
arrested an average of one hundred
and fifty people every day between
January 1 and April 80. for being
drunk ON the streets" So it might
easily happen that visitors in New
York could walk many times to and
fro in Broadway or Fifth avenue and
not see or find drunken man, but the
police courts and city prisons would,
meanwhile, as in Paris, tell quite
another story of drunkenness, and
much of it, in other localities. -Na-
tional Temperance AdUocGte.

They Are Responsible.


We believe it has been heretofore
considered as mere matter of course
that the keeper of saloon is not to be
held legally responsible for any out
RACES committed on his premises in
which he does not personally have
share. Time out of mind, it has been
a commonplace incident for the
saloon-keeper or low tavern-keepcr to
make men drunk and then throw them
out into the street or permit outrages
upon them by others present who
might be only on the road to like
stage of intoxication. One is gratifed
to find evidence that such brutality is
beginning to have attention on the
part of those whose business it is to
see that the laws of the country are
not set at naught by those for the due
constraint of whose scoundrelism such
laws are especially made. The Penn
sylvania Supreme Court has decided
that "where one enters saloon or
tavern, opened for the entertainment
of the public, the proprietor is bound
to see that he is properly protected
from the assaults or insults of those
who are in his employ, as well as of
the drunken or vicious men whom he
may choose to harbor." This "puts
the saloon-keeper in exactly the same
category as the hotel-man." The an
nouncement of such a decision is al
most like the proclamation of a new
era; so much of the saloon-keeper'
occupation " will be "gone" when
he begins to find himself responsible
for murders and other outrages COM
mitted by those whom he makes it his
business to turn from men into brutes.

casts of Other Families.
The Apaches are of low caste, so
far as Indians are concerned. They
originated, beginning perhaps two OF
three hundred years ago, from the out.
casts of other tribes-from the MAYA
joes, the Moques and the Umas. In
addition to this, they have an admix-
ture Of the blood.of the Mexican rene
gades, whom, of course, they have
welcomed into the councils of the tribe
on account of superior and ill-directed
knowledge of territory to be pillaged,
as we'll as intellectual superiority in
general. They will eat what few other
Indians would gastronomically tackle
and are deficient in bravery and mag
nanimity compared with their brother
tribes. There are several branches of
the Apaches. The Mescallaros de-
rive their name from the fact that
mescal- the plant from which mescal,
the well-known Mexican intoxicant, is
made-is one of the chief articles in
their dietary. They roast it on fiat
stones raised six inches or so above the
earth, under which fire is built.
Otherwise, the plant is boiled, aud in
the early stages of its growth it is said
to be tender and succulent. The other
tribes are the Coyeteros foxes), which
is the largest; the Tontos (fools), who,
by the way, are perhaps the most
crafty of the combination; and the
elias, who are named for their prox-
unity to the ella river, from the banks
of which, as old-timers may remem-
Der, Barnum in his early career bought
the "woolly horse,'' which aroused
the ire of "Old Bullion" Benton.
They were once under one chief, Man
gus Colorow, and, as illustrating their
conglomeration OF blood, it may be
mentioned that the lately celebrated
Geronimo was son OF Mangus Colo
row, by. one of his captive Mexican
slave squaws, while Cochis was his son
by an Apache wife, and the before
mentioned Chaco was the son of Chocis
by Mexican slave squaw. Alto

is quite SO white as he has been painted
by the sympathetic as well as mer-
cenary novelist, nor is he so red as
history and some of his enemies make
him. = Washington Hatchet

How Detroit Lady Psychological a

"There are many strange things in

happened here one day last week 1t
was at the bingham counter. A lady

-, and told him that if he would
help her get rid of the goods she would
give him new necktie.
1.-The clerk sent for me, and I heard
her story. She said that her husband
had returned from New York bringing
with him two dress patterns from the
same piece. and she requested me to
take one of them off her hands.
g The goods lay spread out ON the
counter, and | saw that it was a style
we did not use. and told herso. Then
I asked the clerk ii that were not the
case, expecting that he would at once
confirm my decision.
ITO my surprise he did not answer
word. | asked him again this time
quite sharply-but he stood and stared
at me without attempting to speak.
When the woman was gone, I went
to the young man and asked him wha.
he meant by not answering me when
l appealed to him. Then he told me
the reason of his silence. The woman
had reached across the counter under
the pile of goods and grasped his hand.

she squeezed his hand and he found i,
