The Uses of High License

Some of the results of high license are
as follows: Illinois, with tax of $500,
has reduced saloons one-third, and more
than six-fold multiplied revenue from those
that remain Chicago has 1000 saloons in
place of $200,0 The Minnesota high
license has knocked out $1,000 saloons. In
Missouri the income is threefold, and the
decrease of saloons considerable. The
effect in Nebraska has been cut of one
half the saloons and five times increase
of the income. In Michigan 10, 900 saloons
have dropped to 5000 The effect in Ohio
has also been favorable. 1t is difficult to
argue from such statistics otherwise than
that high license is benefit. 1t is non
sense to say it crowds hard on poor people.
The man who runs cheap whiskey hole
can have no greater kindness performed
than to crowd him and his family into a
safer and better business. The worst evil
to the saloon is to the saloon-keeper..-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

concerned. School states are trusted"

made $4,000 day for 800 days while the

cerning its operations. 1t seems pretty
certain. however, that the bulk Of the best
ore lands of the country are in the hands OF
the syndicate. The Bessemer steel trust,
the plow trust and the thresher trust, are
doing well, but figures are lacking: The
steel and iron beam trust is said to be get

Uncertain MaIadfeS.

There are at least thousand doctors in
the United States who wish they had the
Crown Prince for a patient. This is not
because they think they could cure him,
nor for the sake of the money they could
make out of the royal patient, but they
honestly believe they could give that mys-
terious malady name. For the past five
or six months DR.. Mackenzie has been in
constant attendance upon the patient he
has poulticed the larynx and bled it and
leached it, and at last, he has cut hole in
the windpipe and put tube for the breath
to pass through; and now, after all this
fuss, he comes out and says he does not
know whether it is case of perichrondites
or cancer.
If an ordinary man had doctor of this
kind the patient would be excused for
kicking him down the front steps and tell
ing him to hand in his bill at once. People
are beginning to doubt if the so-called
"eminent" physicians. the men with big
watchchains and fine turnouts, the men
who make short calls and put in long bills,
know anything. If they do, it is time
they showed it. The cases of President
Garfield and General Grant are still fresh
in the minds of all. There were from five
to q dozen of the best doctors in the coun-
try in constant attendance upon Garfield,
yet they knew next to nothing about the
location of that fatal bullet until he died.
If skillful physicians are as ignorant as
those who attended President Garfield and
those who now have charge of the Crown
Prince, the average man will prefer those
who charge less and know more: 1t is
about time the days of eminent ineficiency
were ended.-Boston Globe.

A brutal Husband Committed to Jail.

On Tuesday last, Mr. R. D. Barrier, of
Mount Pleasant, n. c., in response to q
message from his sister, Mrs. 3. F. Welsh,
swore out peace warrant, at her request,
against B. F. Welsh, and the matter came
up at once for hearing before Trial JUS
tice B. J. Witherspoon, Mrs. 3. F.
Welsh, his wife, John r. Welsh, his father
and Mrs. Harriet Welsh, his mother, all
appeared as witnesses against the defend
ant. The testimony was such narrative
of brutality and cruelty on the part Of B.
F. Welsh 10 his wife as to arouse the hot
indignation of the many spectators who
had gone into Court to hear the proceedings.
If it had not been for the long and pa
tient endurance of his noble wife, who has,
for so long a time, sought to hide her
troubles from the public, the savage hus.
band would long ago have been incarcerated
to prevent his outrages. On Tuesday,
however, her patience was exhausted and
the story of her wrongs was told. We
venture to say that more shocking history
of cruel and brutal treatment by a husband
to wife has rarely, if ever, been told IN
court before The testimony developed
that he had cursed her, kicked and beaten
her leaving his marks and bruises on hel
body, that he had pursued her with sticks,
on one occasion with a butcher knife, pre-
sented pistols at her head threatening tc
blow her brains out, pursuing her from:
her home to her mother in laws in the dead
hours of the night where she fled for pro
lection.
The Trial Justice, after hearing the tes
timony, was so impressed with the gravity
of the charges against the defendant anc
the danger that his wife was in, that he re
ouired a bond in the sum of SIS, 600 to keel
the peace. He was committed to Jail il

Mr.. Summer Saiter, who went to Atlanta
several months ago, and was received with
open arms by the music loving people OF
Atlanta, has started up quite sensation by
the discovery of the fact that he has class
of colored people to whom he is teaching
music at one of the negro churches of that
CITY. Prof. Salter is the organist of the
synagogue, also of the First Methodist
Church, while his wife is member of the
choir. There is some talk on the streets OF
asking him to resign his position as organist
in the Methodist Church. Prof. Salter
takes the ground that his profession is that
of music teacher, and that he has as much
right to teach both races separately, as
physician has to visit the sick OF any race
who pay him for his services.

A Sportsman reporter, who looked

One Of the most hideous, looking animals
ever seen in this part of the country is in
the possession of John Driscoll, of Parks
vile, n. j., who has charge of the stables
of John Schultz, The Williamsburg mil
lionaire. The animal is calf, with head
like bulldog. The ears are very long and
hang down along the jaws The nostrils
are under the jaws, and the tongue pro-
trudes from the mouth. The top of the
head is perfectly round, and the tail is
about as long as that of Newfoundland
dog. Driscroll says he was offered 81 900
for the calf by Bowery museum keeper.
