INEBRIATE ASYLUMS.
They Must Take the Places of Jails and
Station Houses.

DIR. T. d. Crothers, of Hartford, Conn.,, in an
address on 'Inebriate Asylums and Their
Work." delivered at Toronto, Canada, draws
the following conclusions as being supported
by the latest teachings of science and expert
ence: l. Inebriate hospitals must take the
place of the jails and station houses. Such
places are dangerous in their mental and
physical surroundings, by intensifying the
degeneration and removing the patient be-
yond hope of recovery. They are in many
cases literal training stations for mastering
In armies of chronic maniacs that never desert
or leave the ranks until crushed out for
ever. 2. Inebriate hospitals should receive the
lncurable inebriates and make them self-sup-
porting and build them up physically and men,
tally They would relieve the taxpayer and re-
heve society of untold burdens of sorrow and
misery. 8. Inebriate hospitals should receive
the recent cases. and place them in the highest
conditions OF enforced health and vigor and
thus return large number to health and so
briefly again. A. Inebriate hospitals can and
should be self-supporting when once estab-
lished. They should be managed ON scientific
business principles, like military training
schools. 5. Inebriate hospitals should be built
from the money raised by taxes on the sale of
spirits, on the principle that every business
should be obliged to provide for the accidents
which grow out of it. 8. These are the realities
winch every lneDrlate hospital Is approaching
and which all experience points out as practi-
cal and literal in the near future. z. The inc
briate hospitals of to-day are only in the in
fancy of their work, contending with great OPP
position and prejudice, misunderstood. con-
demned and working against innumerable OBJ
stacles. 8. The work of the present inebriate
hospitals, Notwithstanding all the difficulties
and imperfections, has the grandest promise
Tor the future, and encouragement for fur
Their effort in this field, along the line
of scientific research. 8. There is an in
tense personality in inebriate hospitals to each
one of US. They may bring salvation and
restoration to some one near and DEAR They
may be fountains of healing whose influence
shall cross and influence ouppathway in many
ways. 10. Inebriate hospitals and their work
is the great new land which only a few settlers
have reached. They are calling to us to come
up and occupy, and thus help the race on in
the great march from the lower to the higher

School Examinations,

From Popular Science Monthly.
1t cannot be too often insisted on that exam
ination is good educational servant but bad
master. 1t is useful instrument in the hand
of a teacher to test his own work, and to know
how far his pupils have followed and profited
by his teaching. But it necessarily exerts a
fatal influence whenever it is made of such i'm
portance that teachers simply conform to an
external standard. lose faith in themselves,
sink into the position of their own textbooks
and give but little of their own personality to
their work. 1t is true that it is necessary to
test the work of teachers; but it is not neces-
sary for the purpose of doing to take the
whole soul out of teaching. If examinations
are to be defended on the ground that they
test the efficiency of teachers, then we reply
that other and better ways of doing this are to
be found, and must be found. We admit quite
frankly that they can only be found and pur-
sued at the price of some trouble and expert
ment on the part of both parents and those re-
sponsible for the conduct of teaching: but if
trouble and thought and experiment are to be
spared in this great matter we had better at
once resign the hope of attaining any moral
and intellectual results of real value from what
we are doing.

The Situation in West Virginia.

VICTORY FOR THE REPUBLICANS IN COURT.
Judge Guthrie has decided to ignore the
injunction of Judge Campbell prohibit
ing the West Virginia secretary of state
from laying the certificate of Kanawha's vote
before the Legislature. rule has been
awarded by Judge Guthrie, returnable this
morning, requiring the secretary of state to
show cause why mandamus should not be
issued, compelling him to lay the returns be-
fore the legislature. as they have been certified
to him. This was probably the secret of the
senate's failure to organize, as it is quite de-
sirable to the republicans that the Injunction
be disposed of before the two houses go into
joint session.
On the rule awarded against the county
court of Kanawha for contempt in certifying to
the vote cast in the county for Congressman
contrary to the injunction Of Judge Ira j.
McGinnis, of the circuit court Of Cabell county,
Judge Guthrie yesterday dismissed the rule as
improperly awarded, dissolved the Injunction
and dismissed the bill Of Hon John ID. Alder
son, the plaintif in the case. II il quite prob
able that the case viii be carried to the
supreme court by Mr.. Alderson's attorneys
This Il . complete victory for the republicans
and gives Goff and McGinnis q clear plurality
in the face of the returns for governor and
Congress.

His Corset Strings Broke.

From the New York Star.
A young man wearing the full dress uniform
Of the Knights of St. George attracted much
attention from the passengers in Third ave-
nue. 81" train Thursday evening. II was quite
evident that he felt very proud of his glittering
epaulets and tight-ftting tunic. He sat in a
painfully rigid position. bolt upright. One of
party of three gentlemen, seated near, ex-
claimed audibly:
'Playing soldier out of the ranks"
''Well, that is the worst case of fellow be-
ing stuck on his shape that 1 ever saw" said
another.
As the train reached the 9th-street station
the car gave sudden lurch and the young
man = the unifoym was thrown forward into
the lap Of a fat woman who sat in seat di-
rectly opposite. His brass-buttoned coat was
very snug about the waist before the accident,
but it suddenly expanded. Something had
given way, but there was no rent in the gar
ment
Tighten your corset strings, young man.
unkindly remarked one of the gentlemen Of
the party near me. The young man blushed
crimson, while broad smiles played over the
faces of the passengers. He got out at 9th
street and waited for another train.

A Boy WITH LOADED REvoLvER.-This
morning in the Police Court John Stewart and
Wilson Holland, colored, aged respectively six
teen and fourteen years, were charged with
being suspicious persons and Holland was also
charged with carrying loaded revolver. The
boys were on 9TH street yesterday and Holland
went in a store and offered a wise for sale. The
store-keeper suspected that the article was
stolen and on his complaint Officer Harding
arrested them. When questioned by Judge
Miller the boy said that he loaded the revolver
because he wanted to sell it. When the police
man arrested him he said he put the weapon
in his boot leg because he did not want the
policeman to find it. Judge Miller said it was
hard to tell what was going to become of the
community when such boys went about armed
with loaded revolvers. The only thing that
would do him any good would be to send him
to the penitentiary for life. Sending him to
the workhouse would only restrain HIM for the
time he is there. He was given the extent of
the law, bonds or 80 days, a suspicious per-
son, and $50 or 80 days for carrying the loaded
revolver.

financial aid and support, and as the
workingmen of Minneapolis are the
chief support of the street railway, we
further pledge ourselves to withdraw
our support until our brothers receive
their just dues" At the meeting of the
Minneapolis
TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION
a series of resolutions expressing the
sympathy and offering the support of
that body were adopted. The resolu-
tons further request the street car men
to furnish the union with list of the
names of all business and professional
men DatrOniZing street cars or motors
run by ScabS, as we'll as the Scab en-
ployes, keepers of public houses who
furnish food and shelter for scabs, and
the names and addresses of all police
officials who exceed their duty in keep
ing the peace by assisting in the work
ing of cars, or by arresting for intimi-
dation persons guilty of no real offense.
FROM TUE CIGARMAKERS:
The cigarmakers were quite pro-
nounced and emphatic in the resolu-
lutions adopted by them, pledging
moral and financial support, and bind
ing ali their members, under penalty of
fine, not to ride on street car or
motor until the matter was settled to
the satisfaction of the strikers. They
also condemned, as contrary to the
principles of American liberty, the
action of the street car company in COM
polling their employees and equals to
sign away their personal rights. The
following resolutions were finally
adopted by the meeting after the reso-
lutionS of all the other unions had been
read:
"Whereas, We, the street railway en-
ployes of Minneapolis, believe that the
most potent influence which can posi-
bly, be brought to bear in aiding us to
secure our rights as laboring men,is the
all-powerful public opinion formed by
the Endorsement and good will of fellow
toilerS. and
"Whereas, that Endorsement has been
rendered us most heartily in the resolu-
lions of sympathy and pledges of sup
port given us here tonight by three of
the greatest.and most powerful organiza-
tons of which our city boasts, be it
therefore
"Resolved. That we hereby tender
them our most heartfelt thanks for their
help so generously given, and assure
them that with the courage given us by
that support we will move forward to
certain victory over Lord Lowry, the
would-be street car king of Minneapo-
lis"

The latest addition to Minneapolis
journalistic circles is an acquisition to
the Tribune'S reportorial staff in the
person of Thomas Lowry, Who has al

department of its news service that is
not covered by special cablegrams from
the old world.
