PROHIBITION.

And now it appears that Conn ecticut is again to struggle with the question of con- stitutional prohibition. The proposed amendment is as follows: The manufacture and compounding of and sale, or keeping for sale, of intoxicating liquors, excepting for sacramental, medicinal, scientific, mechani- cal and art purposes, shall be and hereby are prohibited in this State; and it shall be the duty of the legislature to pass laws for the enforcement of this article.
 The campaign will probably be very has just ended in the defeat of the amend rnent in Massachusetts. There has been so much discussion of the matter that the peo- pie are ready for the question. There is talk about the legal impropriety of such amendments, but that will probably amount to as little as it did in Massachusetts, where leading lawyers, including Judge E. Rock men, signed this protest against the amend ment: The undersigned, believing that the constitution of Massachusetts is and was in- tended by it's distinguished framers to be an organization of government and a declara- tion of rights guaranteed to the individual citizen, and that under it's provisions all police regulations and definitions of criminal offenses were properly left to the legislature for enactment by statute law, which could be annually controlled by the people of the commonwealth, are opposed to the adoption of the amendment to the constitution pro- hibiting the manufacture or sale of intoxi- eating liouor We believe that if such a change of law is expedient, it should be made-as all similar provisions of law have hitherto been made-by statute enactment. To attempt to put into the constitution mat ters which were left by 1t entirely to legisla- tive action will tend to subject the eonstitu- tion to constant amendment, may lead to doubt and confusion in it's construction, and will tend to diminish the honor and rever- ence in which it is held by men of all parties.
 The voters of Rhode Island, after trying prohibition for five years, have just elected, on that sole issue, legislature that will re- submit the matter to 8 direct vote of the people. This is supposed to mean the repeal of the amendment. If it fails in this State 8 high license, local option law would be worth trying. .s.-z=..s-=z..sa.sz..

HUMOROUS KNOCKING BIRD. He Gets a Highly Moral Cat Into Trou-
 ble with an old Hen.
From the PIttsburg Dispatch

 It was such warm, cheery weather yester- day that the mocking bird was taken, cage and all, from his cosey corner in the kitchen and given a sun bath on the porch. The bird enjoyed it's first outing for the year immense ly. For the first ten minutes he amused him. self trying to catch a few small knats that buzzed rather prematurely about a leafess vine. Then he began to whistle scrapes of hymn tunes and popular songs indiscrimin- ately.
 Under tree near the porch an old hen had gathered her brood of interesting balls of fluff and promissory feathers, some day to be real spring chickens. Between the porch and the tree under which the old hen was delivering monday lecture to her thirteen children, lay plump and religious looking cat. She was not one of your seampisn, frisky, half dedged cats; but demure, old tabby, too we'll fed and perhaps too moral to even look with evil eye upon the sparrows in the bush es near by. She certainly was at the time I speak of-when the mocking bird was mak- ing strange ditty out of "Hark! Hark! My Soup and sDem Golden Slippers" com bined-as quiet and benevolent as cat can be.
 After awhile the mocking bird stopped whistling and apparently directed all his at tention to observing the scene before him. All at once there came from the mocking birds cage shrill pipe of young chicken in pain. The old hen heard the cry and in an instant had left her flock and flown with ruff1ed neck and wings outspread upon the sleepy cat. The cat was terror stricken by the suddenness of the assault and received several sharp pecks and scratches before she could get away. The old hen kept up the pursuit till the cat fled into the house.
 The mocking bird, whose skilful imitation of 8 chickens cry had caused the disturbance. cheerily whistled:

deep sense the race. It is human to till to build, to navigate, to manufacture; and these are the functions that fall upon man." "Tbe males have built up human civilization and have made the great intentionally acquired gains in human faculty, while the females have acted as mere passive transmitters of these male acquisitions" This will tend to encourage the many men who have found out that the males are not the race.
 The society for the prevention of crime of which Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby is president has issued an address urging amendment of the laws of New York for the suppression of pool rooms. The address points out that po- lice magistrates have favored the gamblers. and says: One judge has refused to hold prisoner because the officer could not swear of his own knowledge that the horse ran, al though the proof was positive that a bet was placed upon an alleged horse at an alleged race. It is held by all the judges that in or der to convict for recording bet (which is the regular business of the pool rooms) posi- tive proof must be made of an entry or note by the dealer receiving the money, and as the receiver conceals himself behind partition, sometimes not even exposing his hand, it Is almost impossible to obtain the evidence re- quired. The evasion referred to is based on the Gives pool bill" which, while it permits the sale of pools at the race tracks at certain specified times, forbids the practice at any other place. It consists in having printed on the back of the ticket contract whereby the pool seller apparently undertakes to simply carry the money to the race track and there place it, receiving a commission. As matter of fact, the apparent contract is blind, but of this it is well nigh impossible to give legal proof. The cases which have come before the magistrates, in which this defense has been raised, have been quickly dismissed and few days since the defense was held to be good at the court of general sessions by Judge Gildersleeve. Since this last decision these gamblers have claimed to be doing legiti- mate business and are again proceeding with great boldness and opening places in large mum bers

More than 200 young women at Lynn,
Mass, are loyal white ribboners.

California, has undertaken the task of raising
SIC, 1000 for the general work and the expenses
Of the next National Convention Of the
W. c. T. U.
The white ribbon badge is no respecter of
race or color. A branch W. c. T. u, COM
posed entirely of Mexican women, has been
organized at Socono. New Mexico. This is
supposed to be the first organization Of the
kind ever formed among this people.
Miss Kate Field advocates the use of Cali
fornia wine, but Mr.. Charles A. Wetmore,
who was formerly at the head Of the VIII
cultural Commission of California, and Is
therefore eminently qualified to judge, states
his opinion that not more than one gallon oil
vino or whisky out of hundred Ill Sacra-
mento or any other city is pure, and that re-
tailers keep the poorest wines made winch
are the vilest decoctions imaginable"
The report of the New York Committee of
Minors makes this appalling statement:
Careful investigation shows TINT at least
$50, 900 children, many of tcnderest years, are
in the habit of daily visiting the saloons Of
the city. 1t is fact well known to your
committee that In a large number OF drink
ing-places bartenders are in the habit of CIV
ing the little ones candies and pencils as H.
ducements to patronize their places"
Ought not the following calculations mako
us ashamed Of ourselves? With the money
spent on drink in Great Britain there could
be maintained 600, 900 missionaries at e250 q
year, 1000 schoolmasters at 91O0, 5000
churches at $4,000, 5000 schools ut $500. 1t
would give to the world 200, 600, 900 shilling

THE HOMELESS SINGER.

On q cold, dark night when the wind was
blowing hard Conrad, worthy citizen OF
little town in Germany, sat playing his flute,
while Ursula, his wife, was preparing sup
per- They heard a sweet voice singing out
side.
Tears filled the good mans eyes, as he said:
"What q fine, sweet voice What pity it
should be spoiled by being tried in such
weather.
II think it is the voice of child. Let US
open the door and see," said his wife, who
had lost little boy not long before, and
whose heart was open to take pity on the lit
tie wanderer.
Conrad opened the door, and saw ragged
child, who, said Charity, good sir, for
Chrsts sake!"
''Come in, my little one" said he; '.you
shall rest with me for the night"
The boy said, "Thank Godm and entered.
He was given some supper, and then he told
them that he was the son Of poor miner and
wanted to be q priest He wandered about
and sang, and lived on the money people gave
him. His kind friends would not let him
talk much, but sent him to bed. When he
was asleep, they looked III upon him, and
we're so pleased with his pleasant face that
they determined to keep him, if he was
willing.
In the morning they found he was only too
glad to remain.
They sent him to school, and afterwards
he entered q monastery. There he found the
Bible, from which lie learned the way of life.
He became the great preacher and reformer,
Martin Luther. Little did Conrad and ur-
