A NATIONAL TEMPERANCE HOSPITAL.

A white-ribbon enterprise often inquired
about is the National Temperance Hospital
in Chicago, whore patients are treated with
out the use of alcohol in any form. The last
monthly meeting of the directors Of this hos
pital brought favorable reports from various
officers. Dr. Ousey, the house physician re-
ported twelve patients treated within the
hospital during the month, eight Of them
surgical cases, beside number Of outside
patients Much incidental good is also done.
For instance, two gentlemen patients, who
were deprived Of tobacco in accordance with
the invariable rule, at first objected very
strongly, but found themselves so much bet
ter without it that on leaving the hospital
they "swore of" altogether.

The Oakland Police Justice who some time

finding himself $50 for being drunk has been
relieved Of his judicial duties, but he is still
devoted to the bottle. This passion for liquor
made him noisy and abusive Sunday night.

of prisoners This Oakland Dogberry fur
nishes an awful example Of the effects of
liquor, but there is nothing impressive in his

The Gentlemen Of America

There are no class and caste and

tlernan in America Mr.. Jones, Or Mr..
Smith, or Mr. Dinkinspeil, or Mr.. Fla
herty, if successful IN business, can
put coatsof-arms on their carriage
doors and table service, and there il
nothing TO prevent them The coat
of-arms means nothing in this coun-
try but snobbery. 1t does not add to
ones standing az gentleman; it ra-
ther detracts. As there are no no
blernen" by birth in this land, 50
there are no gentlemen" By right OF
lineage, except as one does credit in
his own person and character and con-
duct TO his ancestry.
In humble homes can be found men
entitled TO the name gentleman" in
the best and truest significance of the
word, as it enters into the life of the
republic; and in the most sumptuous
mansions can be found cads who claim
the name because their fathers grew
rich in. peddling pelts. To be called q
gentleman is the proudest triumph g
man can win, and to deserve it is to

Grants Wellington Query.

The story told by Sir William Fraser
about a question which Gen. Grant
addressed at Apsley house TO the second
Duke Of Wellington is susceptible, it
seems, OF satisfactory explanation. It
is incredible that, using the words in
their ordinary sense, as one would
understand them in England, Gen.
Grant should have said, during pause
in the middle of dinner, my lord,
have heard that your father was mill
tary man. Was that the casep TIN,
has been spoken OF, naturally enough,
as exhibiting the American impu-
dence or ignorance" of Gen. Grant
The New York Herald london edition)
points out that there was neither i'm
pudence nor ignorance in Gen Grants
question. What Gen. Grant meant TO
ask was whether the iron duke had
received special technical training In
a military school, like Lee, Sherman,
Stonewall Jackson and himself at
West Point, or whether, like MARI
borough, Frederick and other famed
commanders, he had learnt the art of
war only In the field.-London Life.

A discovery was made here that will
be OF great interest It consisted of
three government postage stamps, is
sued according to the law by the post
master at st. Louis, for the state of
Missouri, in 1915, the denominations
being two of the ten cent and one of
the twenty cent series These stamps
were issued In five, ten and twenty
cent denominations, and are among
the rarest and most valuable to stamp
collectors of all those issued by au-
thority of the government for use as
postage. J. 81. Wymer was postmas-
ter of st. Louis in 1S45, and gave the
order for the plates to j. NJ. Kershaw,
local engraver The FIVE and ten
cent stamps are found on two varie-
ties Of paper. The twenty cent were
printed from an altered plate of the
i've cent, and are perhaps the rarest
stamps known. The stamps bear the
arms of Missouri, with Est. Louis"
above and "PostofRce" below, are rec
tangular in shape, and printed in
black on blue paper.-Galena Qlls.)

the Cuban tobaccos have a more deli

not countepance fanaticism or crankyism
in any form. He believed that great errors
were taught by So-called scientific tenn
perance lecturers" and he said above all
things he wanted to teach the truth. The
gentleman was applauded for his intre-
pidity i'll presenting his side OF the ques-
ton.
Mr.. McMichael took the opposite side
and said that as far as he knew alcohol
might have some medicinal powers. but
should be classed with arsenic, morphine
and other poisons. He had never heard
that alcohol had ever been consider food
by any one. at least people could get along
without using it as beverage, while they
were so constituted that it was impossible
to live without eating, even IL they did
some times abuse their digestive apparatus
by excessive eating. and while be admired
MIR. Maust's honesty he thought his re-
marks deserved che condemnation he an
tlcipated for them. Mr. McMichasi
thought the only true temperance was
what he intended to teach, and II was not
the abuse of alcohol that Was TO be con-
demned, but the alcohol itself, which led
to the abuse. The subject was further dis
cussed By Messrs Hendee. Whiteslde. Rice,
Freeman and Misses Flower and Ellis, all
of whom talked to the point and with q
vigor that showed they were deeply in
earnest. Miss Flower particularly OBJ
iected to one gentleman calling the
teachers present common, country school
teachers as they were uncommon, sclen-
titic and educated. (Applausel
The next subject was What should be
considered IN granting certificates TO
teachers" by Mr.. McMichael. who said
that the first and most important require
ment was good moral character, next,
was broad, deep, cultured education; hs
did not believe superficial, mediocre
man or woman could be a successful
teacher and hold the respect of his pupils
the teacher must also have the power
and ability to impart knowledge. He also
thought that examinations should be re-
quired TO satisfy the school board as to bis
scholarship, because it is very frequently
the case that those who hold normal
school certificates and even college diplo-
las, frequently fail on common exanioa-
ton.
The subject was discussed by Mr.. Free
man, who fully endorsed what the pre-
vious speaker had said. and who enjoyed
examinations, as they afforded him a
means Of tsckling catch questions" and
| bringing his mind in contact with other
minds.
Superintendent Pence then made some
appropriate remarks concerning the exer-
clses Of the afternoon. and called attention
| to the graduating exercises, which will
shortly be held throughout the county.
| The system of graduation is almost perfect
now, and offers an incentive to pupils in
the country schools, which is already
bringing forth grand results. The last
session Of the edgwick County Teachers
association will convene the third Setur-
day Of March. Superintendent Winsns

 At the Casino. --~~.-
 Notwithstanding the election excite ment, there was a good crowd present at the casino last night. The perform ance was fine from first to close The Sanders opened the bill with a great character change act and were followed by Miss Goodrich, who won friends i'm mediately by her artistic act. James Gaylor and Miss Tony Graf next came and won much applause. They are really very fine. Mcbride and Good rich gave the finest double song and dance ever seen here. Those who saw them at the opera house with the Nelson show, should see them now and mark the difference. Charles Kenna made every one laugh with his drolleries. Donovan and Albright, who have estab- lished themselves as favorites here, were seen in an entirely new act and brought down the house. The entertainment concluded with a farce entitled, "Mc- Ginty's Troubles" which sent the people home laughing.

THE BATTLE AT THE TOLLS.

Waterbury Democrats Putting In
 Some Telling work-A Lying Circu-
 lar Sent Out to Injure Charles G.
 Root.
 By the time this issue of the DEMO- GRAF reaches its readers the great battle at the polls will be almost over, and we have good reason for believing the re- suit of the election will be a democratic victory. As far as Waterbury is concerned it is not a question as to which side will carry the day, but rather how large the democratic majority will be. Two years ago Judge Morris left Waterbury with a majority of 660, and the demo- cratic leaders are making great effort to do even better than that to-day. When the polls were opened at 6 o'clock this morning there were crowds around each of the four boxes. Work ing men with dinner pails on their arms patiently awaited their turn to cast the ''straight" ticket. At 2 o'clock a good start had been made, fully four.tifths of the votes deposited before that hour being democratic.
 During the night a republican roor' bach in the shape of circular calling upon Catholics to vote against Charles G. Root, was scattered through the streets. The circular stated that Nil Root as a member of the board of educa tion had stated that he would not vote for a Catholic for chairman of the board Father Mulcahy was indignant wheT shown a copy of the bill and caused tS
 be printed and distributed circulars read ing as follows
