Why Men Drink.

That wonderful humorist, Tom Hood, once
remarked "There are five reasons why men
drink Good wine /; a friend; because they
are dry; OF at least they may be bye and bye;
or any other reason why" The last Is per-
haps the most common reason. James Par
ton once headed an article "Will the coming
man drink" but as he failed to answer the
query we will express a decided opinion
that, until the coming man learns to prize
home, social family ties above all others,
will he learn not to abuse his own organism.
In March last writer in the Medical Age
made some practical remarks upon the sub
ject, and offered timely hint which pro-
hbition advocates would do well to note.
He says: "As long as the imperfectiOns of
humanity remain untitled TO its surroundings
and conditions, so long evil and misery will
continue, and men seek refuge in strong
drink Increase the sum of human happiness
by whatever means possible, lessen the bur-
dens ard ameliorate the woes of mankind,
remove hunger disease and pain by better
physical and moral education, and you will
have plucked out the fangs of that dire
monster"
Among the worst morbid conditions result
ing from the use of alcoholic liquors, as well
as from improper food and customs OF eating,
are Inflammation of the stomach bowels liver,
kidneys and brain.
1t matters not in what part of the body
Inflammation exists, or how severe it may be,
whether it takes the form of gastric inhamma-
ton, in dyspepsia, or as in bronchitis, ,catarrh,
hay fever, pneumonia, rheumatism, or as in
common cuts and bruises, Johnson's Anodyne
Liniment will conquer it, relieve the pain
and prove to you that it is indeed an anodyne
of mighty power, and unlike all others, -
it is for internal as well as external use.
| A good Baptist deacon told US not long
since that ..he had known Johns0n's Liniment
for sixty years, and had used it in his family
for over forty years." I. s. johnson & Co.,
Boston, Mass, will send any person an in
structive pamphlet free, telling all about this
valuable household remedy, and how to use
it economically. One teaspoonful properly
used 10 worth . whole bottle used - some
people use it. iune2d&wlw

LILA HOYLEs MURDERER.
Her Own Sister Administered the Chic
roform.


WORCESTER, June 2.
The persistent refusals of the district at
tOrney and the detectives, as well as men,
bers of the grand jury, to affirm the accu-
racy of the published version of the story
which Alice Hoyle told before the grand
jury as to the murder of her sister, Lila,
have given rise to all sorts of speculations
The story has never been fully believed in
Webster, and it is now stated that it was cor
rect only in part.
The new version, which is told by persons
in position to know the part Alice actually
took in the doings of that dreadful night, is
to the following effect: Alice was present
in the house and assisted in making her sis
ter unconscious by the use of chleroform or
some other agent, as has been published in
all the accounts of the affair. After Lila
became unconscious it was agreed between
Alice and Dick Cowie that she should go on
foot toward Oxford, and should be overtaken
by the team in which he and McQuaid were
to take Lila to the place where a criminal
operation was to be performed. Alice was
to go along to care for her sister. Alice did
start on foot, and it was she that DR.. Brown
saw tripping along the silent street as he sat
smoking on his piazza. When the team over
took Alice she had reached the clump of
pines opposite the village of North Webster.
As she was helped into the cBrriage she saw
| or Vas told that Lila was dead. Shocked
and startled, she shrieked. This was the
cry that reached the ears of the German
woman, Mrs Roche. The men in the team,
| by entreaties or force, stilled her voice. She
sat in a dazed condition, hardly comprehend
| ing the awful occurrence. Then it was that
Cowie and McQuaid provided for the silence
on her part, which. for so many long months
successfully baffied the earnest efforts made
to unrarel the mystery surrounding the crime
and bring to justice its perpetrators. They
told her Lila had died from the effects Of
her application of chloroform. They warned
her that she, and she alone was responsible
for her sisters death, and that upon her
would fall the heaviest force of the Law,
should the facts be made public. Terrify-
ing her into the belief that she was the guilty
party, they secured secrecy on the part of
the only living being beside themselves who
was cognizant of the secret. The body was
then concealed in the old corn crib, where il
was found three weeks later, and 10 this day
Alice has never actually known how her sis
ter died. 1t is very evident that the State
detectives have not yet cleared up the case
to their satisfaction, as they have frequently
been in Webster since the finding of the in
dictment. They refuse to affirm or deny ths
correctness of the above story, which is quitl
generally believed in Webster.

NEW YORK, June 3.
Gen. A. r. Lawton, U. s. Minister to
Austria, accompanied by his1w arrived
here today on a six weeks leave of absence.
Mr.. Lawton brings rather discouraging news
to the friends and admirers of James G.
Blaine, who he says is rapidly failing and
by no means presents the appearance Of
well man. Only a month 40 Mr.. Lawton
dined with Mr. Blaine in Rome. In conver-
sation with him on American politics gener-
orally, was led to believe that Blaine would
accept the presidential nomination if he should
be the choice of the convention. Gen. Law
ton had not heard of Blaine's second letter
declining nomination when relating the
foregoing, and when told of it remar ked that
the Maine statesman had probably changed
his mind" 1t was the impression abroad
Mr.. Lawtcn said, that Blaine expected to
receive the nomination.

THE VICTOR vANQUIsHED.

With the Hottentot and Bushman and the Terra He had fought with frenzied fury, so he said. At the Patagonian giants he had hurled his proud defiance, And had painted all the Sandwich Islands red; He had made all the natives scatter in the jungles of Mahratta, From the Rio de la Plata to the sources of the Nile; He swept with his bravado realms of khedive and mikado. And regulated all the earth in true imperial style. With the catamount and tiger and the Abyssin- ian lion He had grappled single handed and had never met defeat; Every spouting hippopotamus he got his eagle eye Was sure to lay out, first or last, Q dead brute at his feet. With his blazing ey>e a-brightening he would dash about a-frightening, Just like fabricated tightening lunging through the thunder storm, Frightening with this facial feature every savage And make the sizzling atmosphere superdu- ously warm. Then his wife came in the grocery store-a sorry Interruption In the middle of story on the jungles of Brazil How he fought a boa constructor and came off a bloody victor When the serpentine devourer chased him with intent to kill. And she took him by the collar, bade the tinid suppliant follow, And we heard the fellow 'holler" like doomed soul for his sins, Come" she said, land have some gumption, l want you for home consumption, And while do the washing you must entertain the twins"

An almond eyed washerman boarded a cable car yesterday with his hamper of clothes. As the grip neared the corner where he was to get off. the driver, who is a good natured Irishman, said to a passenger: "Dy'e see that haythunf Watch me and see me throw him."
 At the corner the Celestial made leap, and the driver applied his brake so as to give the grip lurch- The laundryman turned a somersault in the air, came down on his feet, grinned, and asked:

Teaching Them a Lesson.

Doubtless it was only eccentricity, not 1unacy, that ailed the woman who sat oppo- site me in a horse car. The front windows were open, and on the platform were several men, smoking. Of course this made the air offensive, and this woman sat where she had to choke with the fumes or stop breathing al- together She had a severe face and a deter mined manner. When she thrust her hand savagely into pocket looked to see a re- volver drawn and the offender shot on the spot. But the thing that she took out was a respirator, sort of adjustable bandage of cloth, such as consumptives sometimes wear over their mouths and nostrils in cold weather, or when compelled to breathe bad air. This she placed over her firmly set moth and disdainful nose, and then defiantly faced the open window with its inward draught of smoke. She got out at Fourteenth street, with glance at the smokers, as if to say: "You may expect to die of thia reproof in an hour or so."-New York Sun.
