Drunkenness as an Excuse For Crime.
Ell PAso, TEX, November IA remark
able decision has just been rendered In the
district court Of Fl Paso county in a case
where an endictment of burglary was tried,
and which in some degree runs counter TO
the old established Law maxim that intoxi-
cation can not be pleaded mitigation Of
crime committed. Gus Lee was employed
In the Palace Drug store, Of this city, as
one of the clerks, and at an unreasonable
hour was caught 4Oy the police mskingl his
exit from the store with a number Of LOuisi-
ana lottery tickets IN his possession, said
tickets being kept for sale In the drug store.
He WIS acquitted on the somewhat remark
able ground that he was an habitual NOR
phine iend and as such was not response
bic or accountable for his actions. As there
are p large number OF people in 81 PasO
whOsbelOng to that category, the decision
has aroused general interest.

e. - ID Tnspector RonaeId.

CHICAGO, November I7.-Herr Most was
yesterday asked what he thought Of Bon
fsld's revelations concerning anarchist
risings. He said: "That stuff IS bosh. The
reporters are hungry, and they write this
stuff to get their bread. They must eat and
so they write about the anarchists. 1t was
all rot. If the anarchists wanted to rise up
they would not tell that fellow BOn6eld nOT
Byrnes. Bonheld is a laughing stock. He
knows all about the anarchists and always
has something new about their plots. 1t Is
rubbish. 1t IS like the sea serpent story in
summer. Somebody is alwaps getting up a
story about the anarchists getting ready to
rise, but We say nothing about it."

Prohibition Convention.

The convention Of non-partisan Pro-
hibitionists at the Alexandria meeting
last year decided to hold the next con-
vention about the middle of August, but
left to its Executive committee to deter
mine the precise date, the locality and
basis of representation.
Having duly considered the matter it
has been determined to hold three days
session in Monroe on August %, % aud
"a, and that each parish shall be entitled
to twice as many delegates as it has men,
beers in the house of representatives. In
addition each member of the State and
parish executive committees shall be ex-
oficio delegate, and every church, Sum-
day school and temperance organization
in Louisiana is entitled to representation.
A cordial invitation is extended to each
union of the w. G. T. U. to send one or
more of their members as delegates to
this convention.
"A committee selected from the leading
citizens of Monroe will have charge of
the entertainment of delegates and the
well-established reputation of this beau
tiful city for hospitality is full guarantee
that they will leave nothing to be desired
in this direction.
Such arrangements as are possible will
be made with the railroad companies for
reduced fares and timely announcements
thereof made.
Every possible effort will be made to
secure full attendance and distinguished
speakers from this and other States will,
it is believed, render this occasion one OF
universal interest.
In conclusion we repeat from the an
nouncement of last year shat this is only
wave of that non-partisan prohibition
movement that is striving so nightly in
every southern State, strictly within the
lines of present political organizations,
and which aims to draw all persons of ev.
cry party, creed, sex and race who can
see no good reason why the normal rate
of taxation should be increased four-fold
in order that mere handful of men may
be protected in selling poison to the rest
and propose to make this "a government
of the people, for the people and by the
people" instead of, in the language of Ca.
non Wilberforce, "a government Of the
whisky traffic, for the whisky traffic and
by the whisky traffic."

call attention to those strolling
Gypsies or Turks, going through the
country with bear and monkey. 1t
is we'll known that lives are lost by
teams running away. A drummer's
team ran away ON Cane river. MY
mule ran away with me and tore my

me at the time, and, in order to save
it. had to throw it out while going at
full speed, bruising it considerably, but
fortunately escaping serious hurt.
The mule ran half mile with me,
and it was miraculous that escaped
with my life. AS mule it would
occasionally stop and vary the thing
by kicking me a while. The bottom
bnrsted out of the sulky, and haul
fallen through it in such manner that
could not get out. Can not police

or corporations levy tax or license
on them so high as to prohibit their
