The Irish Ether Drinkers.
From the London Times

The committee on British aud foreign
spirits dealt with the question of ether
drinking in Ireland recently. Mr.. Carter,
the Protestant rector of Cookstown, was
the first witness.
He stated that the practice of ether
drinking had prevailed in his district, which
comprised an area of nearly forty square
miles, for about thirty years. The people
preferred either to whisky, because it was
cheaper aud more effective. They first Of
ali took a small quantity of water, then
modicum of ether. holding their noses while
they drank it, and then they drank water
afterward. They did not take it by inhala-
ton, but by actual drinking. An ordinary
dose was about pennyworth, which would
be nearly half glass, and intOxication would
be produced by that almost Immediately. 1t
aroused combative instincts, and also pro
duced a high state Of exhilaration, accom-
panied by shouting and singing and the use
of provocative words. A great many peO-
pie would C me to market and make them
selves drunk the whole day for Cd. They
! would take q dose Of ether at 10 o'clock,
another at o'clock, and another perhaps
at o'clock, two pennyworth each time, and
that would keep them in a state of intoxica-
! ton the whole day. Beggar women carried
about ether in their pockets, and exchanged
1t with the country people for eggs. The
] children were 80 much accustomed TO il
that they were not repealed by its unpleas-
! ant taste. They frequently came to school
smelling OF ether. ard it was found that
| they got it in the way described. In lis
district ether drinking was not a rarity, but
a common practice, and 1t was on the in
! crease. 1t is not true to say that ether
drinking prevailed most a,noug Roman
| Catholics.

been elected Vice President of the United
States, but the people OF his state had ne
elected to apprise him Of the fact. Accord
ing to his fancy, Mrs. Garfield had been
preserving his position for him and Mr..
Cleveland had been officiating as his
amanuensis. Itwas an idea OF this individ-
ual that Mr.. Beecher commanded a BODY
of soldiers and with them had gone to Mis-
souri,, forcing him to leave home and
friends. Another of his Authorizations was
that there was $500 to his credit in the
United States treasury, which he had
written for without receiving any response
Killer had over hundred dollars in money
with him when taken up to be cared for,
which was used to give him trip back TO
his farm under escort.
1t was in December, during President
Clevelands time, when German engraver.
calling himself Casper Tubesing, bailiug
from st. Louis, stopped off in Washingt q
and made quiet effort to have a talk with
the executive TubesinR wRs at least 20
years of age, and carried with him two
pieces of old rusty iron and a large piece Of
glass, which, according to his story consti-
tuted en- improved telegraph instrument,
which he operated in a lively manner with
two very dirty hands. Casper's ceremony
was to close his eyes and rub the iron and
glass together, in order to produce electric
currents. The old gentlemen desired to see
''His Excellency the President of the United
States" to show him his secret telegraph,
with which be had communicated to Prince
Bismarck and obtained d loan Of 81 600
which had been placed to his account with
the President. This poor old creature also
claimed 10 have invented patent flying
machine, the first one having been pro
duced seyenty-hye years before the time o.

Her Mind Again Unbalanced.

Detective Mattingly made an arrest yesterday
that will add another chapter to the sad career
OF Miss Lucy Walton Rhett Horton, the young
woman who several years ago shot Senator
Morgan's son. At the time of the shooting the
affair created a sensation on account of the
prominence Of the person injured. He recov-
cred from the effects of the shot and the young
woman was afterward sent to the insane asylum.
In due course of time she was released from
that institution, and being an excellent clerk
and having good friends she soon secured a DO
sition in one Of the departments. This posi-
ton she held for a long time, but recently it
came to the knowledge Of Detective Mattingly
that the young woman's mind was apparently
wavering and it was feared that she would do
injury to some one.
Yesterday the officer met her on the street
and he placed her under arrest
The Information received by the officer
proved correct, for Lucy had a revolver in her
possession, which she held to like grim death.
as her affected mind was responsible for the
deiuslon that some one was going TO insult or
assault her and she needed the weapon for self
protection.
The officer with some difficulty succeeded in
disarning the unfortunate woman and putting
her where she could do no harm.
While under arrest she talked to the officer
about the persons who she thinks are going to
follow or insult her. According to her state
ment she dreams Of her troubles and suffers
from nervous shocks.
She will probably be returned to st. Eliza
beths.

SHOT By A wATCHMAN.
Sandy Clark Gets q Load OF Bird Shot in His
Face.

Sandy Clark Gets q Load Of Bird Shot in His
Face.
Last night about IL o'clock Sandy Clark, a
colored man from "Foggy Bottom" visited the
observatory grounds with two companions and
before he returned over the back fence he re-
ceived q dose Of bird shot in the face from
Waterman George Watts gun. The result is
that he is now in the hospital, and when he re-
covers he will probably have to visit another
institution.
Sandy evidently thought there were water
melons in the observatory garden. for he had
with him a large carving knife. such as might
be used to open red ripe melon. But Sandy g
anticipated feast did not materialize, for the
Waterman was on the lookout for intruders be-
cause OF the manner in which the fruit trees
had been treated.
Sandy was barefooted and hatless, but he was
not so dark as to prevent the Waterman from
seeing him. and as he stole quietly through the
ground with his companions he suddenly heard
a voice call .'Halt.'
Then the Waterman ordered the men to re-
treat, and Sandy, not doing as commanded,
received the load of bird shot in the face. This
angered Sandy and he showed fight. He drew
the carving knife on the Waterman and the
latter knocked him down with his gun.
Sandy's companions deserted him and Po-
licemen Gehrman and McNeely responded to
the report of the weapon.
They took charge OF Sandy and escorted him
to the station, where he was charged with being
q suspicious person and carrying concealed
weapons
1t was found that one shot had entered his eye
and probably destroyed his eyesight.
Later in the night he was sent to Freedman's
Hospital. where he is likely to remain for some
days; and until he RECEIVERS his case cannot be
tried,
