DR.. Tanner. of Fasting Reputation, Describes
the Effects of Alcoholic StimulantS.,

Dr. Tanner. of fasting fame, lectured at
the Central Christian Church, last night,
on the Physiological Effects Of Alcohol"
In commencing the presentation of his SUBJ
ject. the Doctor stated briefly the
general laws governing human and
animal heredity, and demonstrated
that the taste for intoxicating
liquor was as transmissable to the
offspring of man as any other trait of his
character. He then dwelt upon the illu-
sion that alcohol sustains the system for
unusual effort or trial, saying: Ardent
spirits are to our human organization just
what the whip is to the horse. They never
give strength but only urge on. 1t is
thought by some otherwise sensible men in
the profession that the temperature of the
system is raised by alcohol. But this So

A Labor Circular.

CHICAGO, Ills, July ia local
paper says: ga circular has been is
sued that bears the signature of the
chief officers of the principal labor Or
CARNATIONS of the United States; T.

man and John w. Hayes, General
Secretary knights of La Dor; Samuel
Gompers, President of the FEEDER
alton of Labor w. n. Sargent,
Chief of the Brotherhood of Lie
comotlve Firemen, and others. The
Locomotive Engineers, through Chief
Arthur, true to theirprinciple of exclu-
siveness and antagonism to other dor
organizations, have kept out of this
concerted action of the others and
thereby heightened the bitter feeling
existing against them among other
trades. The circular is the outcome
OF the conference held some time ago
in Philadelphia, object being the for
nation of an alliance between organ
izations represented by the signers.
1t has been issued privately to the or
CARNATIONS and..is not supposed to be
known to the public. If the alliance is
realized, it will be by far the most
formidable labor organization that
ever existed in the United States or
elsewhere. The circular calls upon
all organizations of labor to strength
en- and solidify their ranks to the ul-
innate end of bringing within their
membership every man and woman
in America who tolls, The conven-
ton of delegates Is 10 be called, II va
rious organizations approve of the

The Ripper's Latest Victim.

LONDON, July 1.-THE woman
whose body was found in Castle AL
ley, in the Wbitechapel district last
night, was middle aged prostitute;
her throat was cut to the spine. The
abdomen had been gashed in hor-
rible manner in several places, though
the intestines were not exposed. No
part of the body was missing. The
warm blood was freely flowing from
the wounds when the body was dis
covered. A policeman, who with the
watchLlan of an adjacent warehouse,
must have been within few yards of
the spot where the murder took place
when it was committed, heard no
noise. Policemen have been placed
at fixed intervals in Whitechapel
since the murders of this character
began there, and since the murder
preceding that of last night, officers
have been stationed at points about a
hundred yards of the scene of the
late tragedy. Several arrests of sus-
picioned persons have been made, but
they were discharged, there being no
proof on which to hold them.
1t is stated that letter was re-
ceived by police officials before last
nights murder, in Whitechape, |

the writer said he was "about to re-
sumo his work"

remains of Annie Weiss was discov-
cred. A card bearing the name of

Hardly Enforced.

The citizens are complying with the

some parts of the city by simply cut
ting down the weeds on their walks.
No attempt has been made to clean
cutters or cut off overhanging tree
limbs or remove Instructions from
the sidewalks, In the latter our
merchants are noticeably negligent
and the police are not at all wide
awake in seeing that the ordinance is
enforced. Not a case for violating the
ordinance has so far been before the

What Miss Nellie Burke Has to Say
Regarding Them.
Nellie Burke, the champion eques-
trienne and chariot rider, leaves in a
few days with her retinue of servants
and stock, for her home in Ringgold,
Ga. She had intended to remain I'M
til next Sunday in order to give an
other exhibition at San Pedro Park
but could not obtain sufficient induce
ment from the street car company to
justify her in doing SO.
Miss Burke is an accomplished
horsewoman, and besides knowing
how to ride and drive horses, knows
how to care for them and train them.
and what she does not know about
them is not worth knowing. In a
conversation about Texas horses with
as greatly delighted with Texas horses
and the speed they have in them.
''In the first place." she said, "do you
know where all the running stock
comes from? Why they all came
from old imported Messenger, every
one of them. Horses in Texas are
nearly all, even the mustangs, partly
thorough bred, and have good blood i'll
them. Texas in the next twenty or
thirty years, I think, will be the blue
grass region of the country and raise
as fine stock as ever did Ken
lucky. You have some of the
best horses in the world right here
in Texas. The reason is plain. Dur
ing the war Texas was somewhat iso-
lated from the destruction and hor-
rors entailed and all the thorough
breds were run into this state for safe
keeping or hiding. In many cases
these thOroughoreds were turned
loose or were stolen or became prop
erty Of those who knew not what they
were worth and they were allowed to
breed as they chose. The result is
you have some excellent horses, in
many cases even quarter and half
breeds. L don't see any reason why
they can't 60 in any race. 1 have
tried some of San Antonic's horses in
my races while l have been here. /
hooked up one in my chariot train at
the fair grounds and he could go as
well as any of my thoroughbreds."
She is indeed good judge of horse
flesh, as a glance as her stables will
prove, and her opinion is certainly
worth something to San Antonio,
which has long been known as the
largest horse market in the world.
