THE pIRsoNANLA CURE.


Devout Christians have long declared
that nothing but the saving grace of re-
ligion could lift man out of the gutter
and keep him straight ever thereafter.
Recent observations of the effects of the
Kelley cure for dipsomania indicate that
the good brethren knew what they were
talking about. 1t is reported, says the
Spokane ReUiew, that many of the cures
wrought by so-called bichloride OF gold
process were only ephemeral, after all
and that the old topers are turning out
early in the morning for their eye
opener pretty much as they have so often
turned out after the temperance crusade
had run its course.
The truth is that there is nothing new
in the Kelley institute for the cure of
drunkenness. Inebriate hospitals have
been established in different parts of the
country for many years; and it now
seems probable that there was nothing
these modern institutes. Analyses of
the so-called bichloride of gold remedy,
made by chemist of this city, failed to
disclose the presence of either sodium
or gold in any form, and analyses made
by eastern chemists have resulted in the
same manner. The secret of the won
derful cures that have made lies in the
positive manner in which cures were
promised, and to the fact that to give
the patient renewed hope the pleasing
thought of an entirely new discovery
was thrown out. These influences are
always powerfully exertiye upon the
minds of hopeless invalids or inebriates,
and can do more in such cases than all
the drugs that were ever stacked upon
the apothecary's shelves.
But the strength of the new treatment
is also its weakness; such feeling of
confidence is impaired to the patient
that he returns home with the belief
shat the drug has destroyed the appe-
title, and that he can look upon the wine
when it is red. without falling into the
-oldtime weakness. The consequence
has been that some of the most promis-
ing cures are now suffering with a lam
entable relapse.
The best way to stamp out dipsomania
is to leave alchol severely alone An in
toxicant can not be poured into the
stomach OF even the strongest man with
out leaving its evil effects. 1t is worse
Tor well man than for the invalid, for
it disturbs the normal balance of health.
1t is the pioneer of disease. sapping
away at the constitution until the work
of undermining is done, and leaving an
easy pathway for the silent emissaries of
death. No drug can overcome these
evil influences although drugs may oc-
casionally be used as an adjunct to the
will of the patient.

THE ELECTIONS;

Returns from yesterday election leave
democratic and republican hopes and
fears pretty much as they were. The
results give no sound basis for poll
teal calculation as to what may or may
not occurr when we come to elect a
president. The election of Mckinley by
10000 majority would indicate that the
people will not abandon the principle
of protection without hard struggle.
At any rate McKinleyism is certainly
not dead by a long way, and political
forecast must take this into account.

To Have Now ExelIds.

Harvey Chaffee, of East Valley, well
known oil contractor, who was badly
burned by natural gas explosion on the
9TH of May, is in the city for the purpose
of having the skin grating process tried
on him. Mr.. Chaffee was very severely
roasted. The skin was burned off his
face and neck, and ten holes were left in
his head. The most serious scorching
was that upon the eyelids. They were
completely burned off both eyes, and in
their stead at present is the raw, in
famed and swollen flesh. The sight is
most repulsivH. but Mr. Chaffee bears
his misfortune with great fortitude.
When asked if his injuries were pain
ful, he replied: ''Yes, sir, they hurt me
right smart at times, but it takes a great
deal to make me grunt. | can stand a

was burned. Ny ears We're as big as
your fist and my head as big as half

You can ask my wife there and he re-
ferred the reporter to pleasant woman
who sat near.
The work of putting new eyelids upon
the unfortunate contractor is to be done
by Dr. F. D. Edsall, who said that he
would cut the material for Mr.. Chaffee's
eyelids out of the patients arm. Except
for his burns Mr.. Chaffee was in a
healthy condition. and his own cuticle
would perhaps knit more rapidly than
that from another person. The new
eyelids will be bereft of eyelashes, but
utility and a cure is what is sought after
rather than beauty in this case.-Pitts-

that within the next few days the press

many Of the conservative labor leaders

A Bestonian Arrested and Fined for o
ysry Unusual Proeesdisg.
Boston, May %. Mr.. Noyes, a young
business man here has solved the prob
lem whether it ID a crime for man to
kiss his wife on the streets of Boston.
This solution, however, caused him a
session in the municipal court and a
vast deal of annoyance besides. Mr..
and Mrs. Noyes, it seems, made call
Thursday evening upon some friends
who live at the South end, and on their
return home they were obliged to wait
for horse car. Taking advantage Of
the kindly shadow. Of building Mr..
Eoyes
Proceeded to Kiss His Wife.
A passing policeman observed the act.
and the result was the arrest of Mr.. and
Mrs Moves. The police declared that
he regarded such an act as proof that
they were intoxicated, and he was justi-
fed in their arrest. Mr.. p. A. FELTON,, a
college chum of Mr.. Noyes, who pre-
sented their case, declared the arrest an
outrage. Said he: rIs it crime for q
man to kiss his wife on the street? If
people were to be arrested on such triv-
ial matters as this it won't be safe for a
man and woman to walk together. |"
Judge Burke, however, said that he did
not think the arrest an outrage, as the
fact of their kissing each other on the
street was certainly an unusual action.
but he would say that it was not a
crime to kiss ones wife on the streets of
Boston.

WASHINGTON, May 25.--The fact that
