A CRIME TO ORDER.

How Tramp Got a Nights Lodging in q
Station House.
St. Louis Globe Democrat
A great hulking tramp walked in and
asked the Lieutenant in charge, a rather
dudish fellow, to give him nights lodging.
Not satisfied with the refusal he received.
he still persisted. The Lieutenant soon lost
patience and said: "No one can sleep here
unless he has committed some crime"
lis that so," said the tramp; "that's
pretty hard, but I suppose I can help it;
how will this answer?"
As he spoke he shot out his fist and
knocked the Lieutenant from his stool into
the spittoons near the stove.
81 hope didn't hurt you more than was
necessary" he said, as his victim slowly
picked himself up, his nose streaming blood;
"giye me as good q cell as you have, for I m
tired and want to 60 to Sleep"
The unfortunate Lieutenant did not hear
the end of it for months.

LOST HER LICENSE,
And Now Mrs. johanna Pfsil Sues T.
P. Kohn, Saloonkeeper, for Libel.
A LETTER WHICH CAUSED TROUBLE
The Defendant Wrote 10 Judge White and
Lawyer B. c. Christy.
LIVELY DEVELOPMENTS ARE EXPECTED

A libel suit OF more than usual interest
was brought before Alderman McMasters
yesterday, and Its outcome will be watched
closely by lawyers as we'll rs laymen. Mrs.
Johanna Pfeil had Frank p. KUhn arrested
on charge Of criminal libel, and the Alder
man held him In ST 900 Tor further hear
ing next Tuesday. Kohn keeps saloon Mt
the corner OF Greenwood and Beaver ave-
nues, Allegheny, while Mrs. Pfeil had O
saloon last year at 70 CHARTERS street, in the
same city, but her application for o renewal
OF license was recently refused by Judges
White and Magee.
She charges that Kohn was instrumental
in knocking her out, because he wanted a
friend of his to get license within her i'm
mediate neighborhood. 1t is alleged that
Kohn wrote letter to Judge White and
Lawyer B. q. Christy, In which. according
to the information she made before Alder
man McMasters, he asserted that few
weeks alter she had procured her license
last year she got drunk and drove her eldest
son and daughter from the house. and that
he also asserted that she, the oldest son of
the affiunt, is sober young man. and could
not stand her drinking and abuse, thereby
meaning, and pretending to believe, that
afiant was addicted to the excessive use OF
intoxicating liquars, and was abusive of her
family, and, by reason of drunkenness,
drove the children from the house."
Mrs. Pfeil has retained Attorneys Robb
and Marron. The latter gentleman says
that the case will show some very interest
ing phases. and will let in some light
upon queer doIngs around the Court House
during the session Of the License Court.
They propose to make it lively for people
who have purposely misrepresented the
standing Of applicants before the Court. He
contends that Mrs. Pfeil is a sober, hard
working woman, and that she was deprived
of her license through the basest falsehoods.
Mr.. Marion says there is no doubt that
Kohn wrote the letters to Judge White
and Lawyer Christy, because they are un-
questionabIy in his handwriting. They
will also prove, he says, that the letters
were written in the interest of another
party. but whether that person got license
on the strength of them he would not say.

WHY MEAT Is so DEAR.

The Opening of Markets Abroad Is Respon
sible for II. g..
The reason why meat has gone up so much
lately, says butcher in the st. Louis Globe.
Democrat as every housewife has observed
with indignation, is simply that the markets
abroad have been opened more freely to
American beef and pork. This is thanks to
the Government inspection of animals,
which are branded as good and healthy, so
that the foreign consumer does not view
them with suspicion as provender.
Naturally, when the market for American
meat products Is expanded, more extended
demand makes prices rise. Therefore it is
that have to charge you DC more pound
for good cuts of beef than you have been ac
customed to pay: and pork in proportion.

Insanity and Intemperance

Bishop Horne has very pointelly said.
ga goose that sees another goose drink
Will do the same, though it is not
Thirsty. The custom of drinking for
company, when drir'; is dispensable and
prejudicial, seems ID be q case of the
same kind, a11 TO put a man-feathers
only exceptel-upon footing with a
goose" Attention has lately been d.
rected to a report made to a convention
of French physicians, containing re-
markable array of facts as to the in
crease of insanity in France, and espe-
cially as to the increase of that form of
the malady due to excessive indulgence
in alcoholic drinks. 1t appears that in
seventeen years insanity increased
throughout the country to the extent of
30 per cent, So per cent of the insane be-
ing men AMI II per cent. women. The
increase during the past seventeen years
has in fact heen almost entirely in the
branches of alcoholic insanity and OF
general paralysis or paresis, only very
little advance beiag noted in mania,
melancholia and chronic delirium; alco-
hol AMI overworiI are therefore respon-
sible for the greater part of the increase
of insanity thus recorded. Some fifteen
years ago the proportion of women
among the cases of alcoholic insanity was
reported to be one-sixth, while at pres
ent it is one-ffth. The singular fact is
also mention ii that the number of new
cases of insanity is greater in tine spring,
the month of May seeming to inaugurate
annually an epidemic.-New York Trib-
une
