CONCERNING SODA WATER.
Secrets of the Trade Divulged by a Dis

Secrets of the Trade Divulged by a Dis
penser of Feminine Dissipation.
A MINER reporter, while going over his
'ruD," yesterday afternoon, stepped into
one OF the places where soda water is
retailed, and after watching the dispenser
OF sweetened wind for q few minutes jerk
the different levers, asked him how trade
was.
"Trade, did you say?" replied the con-
cocter Of alleged fruit syrups and com!
pressed air, "why, it's way up; keeps me
busy pretty much all day, especially since
it's got 80 Internally hot. What syrup
do we sell most OF? Well, 10Y you've got
me. for nearly everybody has his choice.
still, I don't know but what vanilla and
strawberry have q little edge on the 9th
who always take the same syrup, and you
couldn't induce 'em to change for anything.
Then there are others who always take q
different kind; they come here until they've
tried 'em all, and then they 60 back and
commence again at the end, and so keep it
up until the season for that kind OF dissa-
patton ends. But the worst kind OF peo-
pie we have to deal with are those who al
ways want their syrups mixed. They gener-
ally stand around and look and look
until they make me tired, and then say,
We'll, I guess I'll take a little vanilla,

little-a-pine apple, please OF course
I've got to give it to the cranks, but
what satisfaction they can get put of
such a mess is more thin I can under

81 don't know whether you've noticed it
or not, but the soda water business ia alto
gether different from what it was q few
years ago. Then it was plain soda water
and nothing else. but now, why, every soda

Decrease In the Yield of the Former.
The Need of American Enterprise.
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-In the course OF
q long report to the department of state
upon the commerce of New South Wales,
United States Consul Griffin, at Sidney,
says there has been a decline in the gold
product OF all Of the colonies, except Vic
toria, and even there the increase is very
slight, amounting to but 1902 ounces.
Speculation in mining stock appears to
have ran higher in the colonies than at
any other period in the last quarter OF a
century.
The extraordinary development Of silver
mines in the broken hill country, N. 8. W.,
under direction OF Mr.. Patton. who for.
merly had charge Of the groupo Of Comstock
mines in Nevada, created q boom in the
silver market. The shares OF the company
rose from $S75 to $2,014 in one month.
This excited speculation in other properties
which soon came to grief.
The consul says modern American pro-
cesses are wanted in Australia. The hand
some profit realized at Broken Hill is q re-
suit OF the help OF American experts.

1t Strikes a House at VAUDEVILLE and
Badly Damages a Mine.
Wednesday evening, at about aquarter to
seven O'Clock, q few minutes after the
storm began, an unusually sharp clap Of
thunder, preceded by q most vivid flash OF
lightning, made nervous people fairly jump.
Shortly afterwards a gentleman called at
The MINER office and said that lightning
had struck the residence of Mrs. Borlace,
West Vaudeville, and had done consider
able damage to the house. A door in one
end OF the house vas torn from it's hinges
and a window leading to a bed room, in
which a sick man was lying, was completely
demolished. The interior Of the room was
also badly damaged, the plaster being
knocked from the ceiling. Fortunately the
occupant OF the DON was not injured
beyond being badly frightened.
The same bolt also raised havoc with O
number OF sluice boxes and other parts
of the workings of a placer claim in the
gulch below the Lexington mill. Every
thing in the mine was badly demoralized,
and several days will be required to repair
matters. The men had knocked off work
for the day just before the storm began
and no one was On the ground when the
lightning struck.

Fear as a Factor in Diseases.

Says the St. Louis "Globe-D Democrat:
The total cases OF yellow fever at Jackson.
vile foot up a little over 300. and the
deaths less than $50. This proportion
shows that yellow fever is by no means SO
fatal q disease as some other epidemics.
Typhoid fever often carries off q much
larger proportion OF victims, and diph-
liberia is, in malignant form, still more
fatal; while the statistics of cholera are
worst OF all, under favoring circumstances.
II, now, we could subtract the
power OF fear, meeting an
outbreak coolly, and could b.
prepared with the best = known
means of counteracting it's speed, there is
no doubt the fatality could be reduced to
one-tenth of the present proportions. It is
agreed by all physicians that panic is the
fatal element in all epidemics, but especially
in yellow fever, as it causes a stampede in
every direction, while the best and safest
place for almost all is at home. The
Southern states should be provided with
boards OF health with adequate power, and
composed of men of the highest skill and
knowledge. First of all, yellow fever should
be robbed OF it's fatal %fearfulness, and con-
fdence should be created in the people
that the medical authorities can control
the foe.

AND CROSBY IN ACCORD

License-A Letter From the Cardinal.

Both Oppose Prohibition But Favor High
License-A Letter From the Cardinal.
BALTIMORE, May 2S.-Cardinal Gibbon
ia an earnest advocate IF high license. In
a communication ON the subject he says:
II am decidedly opposed to prohibition SIS
a; means OF preventing intemperance, be-
cause it does not prohibit. Experience
has shown that in those states where
prohibition has been tried, it is not an e-
fective means Of preventing the vice OF
drinking. Prohibition is to be discouraged
also because it confounds the drunkard
with those who use liquor in moderation,
making out sin when there is no sim. The
only places where prohibition might be en-
forced are thickly settled country districts.
II regard high license, with moral sane
tion. as the most eff Gent way OF diminish
inc drinking. In order to make high license
effective. only o limited number OF licenses
should be issued for each ward, and they
should be given only to persons OF good
reputation
The Cardinal also is in favor OF a severe
notice Sunday law. prohibiting the sale OF
ali LIQUORS on Sunday, and would nave
that law rigidly enforced.

Doctors of Medicine Taking Their First

Doctors of Medicine Taking Their First
Degree In Law.
Four doctors were called yesterday to
figure in q case in which their knowledge of
diseases and ailments did not stand them
in hand, and they were compelled to call to
their assistance other practitioners, not of
medicine, but of law. The doctors who
thus for once in their lives could not pre-
scribe for themselves were Joseph Weyer-
horst. w. C. Harding, G. H. Schultz and
EdN ard P. Beale, who were indicted for un.
lawfully practicing medicine by the grand
jury the day before.
Drs. Weyerhorst, Harding and Beale took
the statutory time in which to plead, n
their bonds were continued until to-day.
DIR. Schultz waived reading Of the indict-
ment, and through his attorney, VIM. Seal
lon, entered q plea of not guilty and was
released on his own recognizance.
The outcome of the cases is watched with
not q little interest by both the medical
fraternity and the public generally. The
former because the validity Of the law
creating the medical board will probably be
tested, and the latter because OF the inter.
est laymen always take in matters en-.
shrouded with that air OF awe and mystery
which is attached to a greater or lesserde-
gree to the practice OF medicine.

ity In a Recent Burglars.
Yesterday morning at about 2 O'Clock
Officers Walters and Hauswirth arrested a
fellow named Crawford for whom they had
been looking for about a week and had CIV
en- up all hopes Of capturing him, when he
fairly ran into their arms.
He is wanted on suspicion OF being a pal
OF Gilbert, the fellow who broke into the
Washington brewery, and whom Officer
Walters assisted to arrest at the time.
A few minutes before his arrest Crawford
was seen to enter one of the small buildings,
near the corner of Broadway and Wyo.
ming streets, which Dan Tewey uses as
apartments in connection with his
hotel. The officers waited and when he
came out they began to question him and
he told them q gauzy story about looking
Tor Gilbert, whom, he said, he had not seen
about a week, although he had looked
Tor him daily. When asked why he looked
Tor him in that place and at such an hour,
replied that about three weeks ago he
and Gilbert had slept in q room in the
building and he thought that possibly Gil
bert might be occupying it again.
The officers considered the story q trife
and took their man to jail. He
will be examined to-day.

walked into Lieutenant Elliott's Office. this
morning, and said that several months ago
Alderman Mccormick offered him $1,1O0

vance and agreed to pay the remaining

clares that Mccormick told him to feign

Cronin and kill him. Brace says he took

tract.
Brace bears an unsavory character, and
