There are several factors to be consid-
cred in judging of any particular case. l.
The length Of time the habit has lasted.
2. The patients heredity. 8. The pres
ence or absence OF moral influences
around the patient.
The drunkard descended from drunken
parents and grandparents, or with q strain
Of insanity, epilepsy or other diseases OF
the brain in his family history, Is "mau-
vais subject"
Again, the drunkard who is without
home ties, who has never known a moth
er's or a wife's devotion, who is by na-
ture as well az liquor brutal and degra-
ded, stands a small chance Of ever with
standing the temptations Of the wine cup.
On the contrary, where the family his
tory Is free from alcoholism, epilepsy or
insanity, the patient may be considered
to have a good nervous system to treat
successfully. And again, where the
drunkard is hedged about by the tender
love of wife or mother, or where he Is by
nature q man OF nne moral sense, q cure
may often be effected.
In order to make the cure permanent,
1t is almost a necessity that the patient
should be upheld and strengthened by
love, moral principle and religion. 1t is
an easy thing to break the whisky habit
in an inebriate asylum, but unless one Of
the factors just mentioned be present, q
relapse will almost inevitably take
place.
Finally, there are drunkards, ever and
anon, so besotted and degraded, so reek-
ing with the filth of the gutter, as to be
wholly past all human help, are lifted up
by the mighty arm Of God himself, and
made good and useful men.

Rods, a German, en- route with his wife
and baby from California to P~ennsylva-
mia, leaped from a Miami express going
80 miles an hour, while thetrain was near
South Charleston last night. He placed
his baby In his wife's arm, and, opening
the window, dove out into the darkness.
The train was stopped and backed to the
place where the affair occurred, but no
trace of the man could be found. He was
seen to alight on his feet and then run
The passengers made up a purse for the
woman, who is still here at the depot. It
is reported here late this afternoon that

ton, five miles from here, three children
were burned 70 death. Jack Richardson,
one Of the farm hands employed by Mr..

it was too late, as the three children,
whose ages ranged from two to seven
years, were then burned to a crisp, and
could not be gotten out Of the burning
building.

DIR. J. @. Olmstead's Views.


"Is drunkenness curable2" That de-
ponds upon the circumstances and condi-
tons, surrounding and pertaining to the
individual afflicted.
What is the constitutional condition Z?
Has there been an inherited tendency to
drunkenness, or is there inherited weak
ness and disease especially of the nervous
system, of that particular character so Of
ten inherited from an Incorporate parent
or parents, and which is so liable to de-
velop the habit? Or has the individual
one of those chronic diseases which
makes him a marty to pain?
The length of time that the habit has
been INDUCED in, is another most impor-
tant consideration. it being true that the
outlook in long, continued, chronic alco-
holism is very gloomy as regards
''cure."
Again, what are the surroundings of
the individual? Are they favorable or
unfavorable as regards social advantages,
healthfulness of occupation and freedom
from grinding want, and "carping care
or exposure to severe weather ?" etc.,
etc.
All of these considerations, and many
more that could be mentioned,
profoundly affect and bear upon the
question of 'cure."
In general, then, it may be stated that
the durability of d~runkenness' depends
upon the particular form of the habit
presented, together with its environ
ment.

cess is used.
8. Ease of handling and saving of
room. This needs no explanation, when
it is considered that the Rembert bale is
less than half the size of the common
bale, therefore occupying only half the
space in wagons, warehouses, freight
cars, ETC., which the plantation bale
requires.
4. Its compact size enables it to be
entirely covered with bagging, and it is
therefore much better protected in every
way, and less liable to fire, or damage in
handling, or transportation.
s. By this process the cotton is laid
evenly in the bale and draws a good SAM
pie. Competent judges claim that it
samples at least half a grade higher than
the same cotton prepared in the usual
way. The package is a desirable one in
every respect, and its attractive appear.
ance and evident immunity from damage
cannot fail to secure preference for it
over the ordinary bale, both from ship.
pers and consumers.
6. More cotton per gin can be made by
this process than by any other, the full
capacity of the gin being utilized, and as
the bale is not formed in the bsling box,
but IN a separate table, the gins do not
have to wait for the box to BIZ cleared.
This makes a gain of two to three bales
per day to each gin operating. This
company is o turning out from two
seventy saw gins, eighteen to twenty
bales, averaging over five hundred
pounds each per day of ten hours,
without overcrowding.
7. Railroad managers and agents who
have seen the machines at work and the
bales turned out by them say that they
will gladly carry such cotton ove their
respective roads at compressed rates,
which is equal to so cents per bale less
than the rate on ordinary bales.
8. It's acceptance by the railroads as a
compressed bale insures its prompt trans.
portstion to destination, IS the cars are
loaded from the local stations and the
cotton goes through in unbroken lots ;
whereas the present bale is taken to a
compress somewhere along the road
where it has to wait its turn, and often
has to wait two or three weeks. Even
then the lots are frequently broken up,
and it is by no means unusual for frag-
ments of q one.hundred. bale lot to come
struggling in after a month or six weeks,
thus entailing great annoyance to both
shipper and receiver, as we'll as a direct
loss in interest, insurance, depreciation
in price, and many other items that are
only too familiar to the cotton trade
under the present system.
8. Ship brokers express a willingness
to take the cotton baled by the Rembert
process at a less rate of freight than they
do the ordinary compressed bale, as,
owing to their uniform size, they stow to
better advantage in the vessel.

FARGO, June 21.-Prof. Wildron, of
the state agricultural faculty, who was
dispatched to Orr, Grand Forks county,
Friday last, upon receipt of information
that locuStS were Matching out in great
quantities in that vicinity. returned this
morning with samples of hoppers. and
they are pronounced genuine Rocky
mountain locusts. These locusts visited
portions of Manitoba last season, and it
is thought few must have drifted
across the line into North Dakota and
deposited eggs. A thorough examina-
ton was made by state officials, and the
hoppers were located in two places,
near Orr, Grand Forks county, and near
the line of the Great Northern, in the
southern part of Walsh county. Prof.
Wildron reports that the hoppers are
wingless and practicably.harmles for
the time being, and if they can be de-
stroyed Immediately. little damage can
be done. He states that in one place
they cover the ground for over mile in
length, and from one to five rods wide,
and from an inch to foot iii depth. A
deep ditch has been made around them
to prevent escape until they can be
trapped and destroyed. Prof. Wildron
will return tomorrow morning to su-
perintend the work of destruction.
which will probably be by trapping and
burning. Gov. Burke was seen by Prof.
Stockbridge this afternoon, and the
governor gave instructions to spare
neither money nor expense in eradicat-
ing the locustS at once, and the author
tiles are confident this can be done be-
fore any damage can be done the crops.

THE PEOPLE MARVELLED.

The Calisthenic Exercises, En-
Masse, Proved a Great Draw.
The best was reserved for the last
yesterday, as good tactitionS always do
in arranging surprise on programme.
1t was revelation. 1t was the Gales
thenic exercises EN- maSSe, some 600 or
more active Turner's participating
in it. The exhibition was with
the wandS, and the audience
often broke out in rapturous applause.
Without command of words they
marched out on the large square that
had been prepared for the purpose to
in four platoons. The square was
marked off by little flags stuck In the
ground at intervals Of four feet on each
side. With military accuracy they
marched down the field, platoon, or
battalion, on either side Of the flags, ,and
two battalions down the center, at
equal distances apart At the
extreme limit of the square, they filed
right and left and then counter marched
up the center. Then they took their
distances, filling the entire square in
perfect rows. Then began the series
of graceful evolutionS that challenged
the admiration of the 5000 or more spec
tators. There are $40 movements, and
these were gone through without a
break, and all to music. This was sup
plemented by hymn after the ranks
had been closed until the Turner'S pre-
sented solid phalanX. This done, the
societies marched back to their quarters
and thence to the huge dining hall,
where supper was served

CLEVELAND, June 21.-An excursion
train OF fifteen cars, which left this city
this afternoon on the Nickel Plate road,
jumped the track near Dover. o., and
seven cars were wrecked. The train
was loaded with street railway employees
and their families, who were going to
Oak Point, pleasure resort on the lake
shore. One man was killed. and more
than thirty were injured. The list of
the killed and injured is as follows:
Henry Rogers, aged twenty-three years,
crushed to death; Burt Keefe, aged
eighteen years, skull fractured and legs
hurt, will probably die; Peter Credon.
aged twenty-one years, foot crushed
and bad wound in jaw, may not recover;

Quark, aged twenty-four years, cut in
neck and badly bruised; Ernest
Schriefer. aged twenty-three years, bad
scalp wound; W.. j. Hempstreet, aged
seventeen years, right arm broken and
leg crushed. A score or more of others
were more Or less injured, but we're
able to be removed TO their homes,
and names could not be ascer-
tanned When the accident occurred
the train was running about thirty
miles an hour. The engine went down
the bank on one side, the seven cars
being thrown across the rails in both
directions. One coach was split in two
and the others were badly smashed.
Rogers, the man killed. was caught in
the wreck and had to be chopped out.
The engineer and fireman escaped by
jumping. Farmers living near the
scene of the accident came to the rescue
and the injured were taken care
of until corps of doctors sent from
Cleveland arrived on the scene. The
seriously wounded were then brought
to the city and taken to hospitals. The
engine was running backward at the
time of the smash up, though it is said
the accident was due to the spreading
of the rails. The company's loss will
amount to several thousand dollars.
The track will not be cleared before to-
morrow

CHICAGO TO THE FRONT.
The Windy City Delegates Take
Everything by Storm.


Of all the visiting Turner's, Chicago
was to the fore. In one of the main pa
viliOns they established headquarters.
around which not only they but other
visiting Turner's congregated. Refresh
ments ON ice, "Gut He'll" and hand
some ladies were the watchword of the
day. F.. .GOetZ, their general leader,
was ever present, ready with informa-
ton for their general guidance. and a
happier party could not be found on the
grounds. Theo Harz, treasurer of the
society. acted as cOmmissary. and bet
ter choice they could not have made.
He was geniality itself, and no stranger
aware of his hospitality. His
home position as SECRETARY of the
Chicago Brewing company eminently
fitted him for the position he so ably
filled, and TO which Landlord Bill Nye
Montfort appointed him. President
Louis NettelhOrst, chairman of the Chi
cago board of education, showed to the
fullest extent that he could chaperone
a Turn Gemeinde as well as preside
over those who have in charge the edu-
cation of the Windy city youth. The
two fat men of the, worlds fair delega-
ton were Fritz FriIIman and Joe Bollig,
with honors easy as to who should carry
away the prize. John Gradt, of Blue
Island avenue, was by long odds the
jolliest man of the party, and he never
hesitated one moment when he saw
friend to ask him to join in drinking
the health of the Chicago Turn Ge-
meinde. Max Stern, the poet laureate of
the VorwaertS society, was present in all
his resplendent glory, and without him
the farther END of the betting stand of
Hamline would never have been able to
recover from the echoes of Schiller,
which will reverberate back and forth
till Derby day. Among the ladies which
accompanied the Chicago delegation
were Mrs. p. Endres, Mrs. Ed Fielder,
Mrs. l.. Mattern, Mrs. A. George, Mrs.
Val Mueller, Mrs. f. Seeger and Mrs.
A. BurmeiSter.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Supt. Porter
denies emphatically the truth of the
published report that the census bureau
work is blockaded and Swamped, and its
appropriations exhausted, and that
therefore he is tired and discouraged
and intends to resign. He has, he says,
no intention of resigning until the work
OF the eleventh census is completed. As
to the work of the bureau being block
AIDED, there is no truth whatever, he
says, in the statement, but on the other
hand it is i'll perfect condition, we'll ad-
vanced, with ample appropriations yet
uneXpended to carry the work on for
another twelve months. or as far as con-
gress expected it would be carried with
the appropriations already made

with the progress made thus far.

bodying the aggregate population Of
minor cities will be ready for the printer
by Aug. 1, and the first 500 pages of the
population compendium will go TO the
printer about the middle of August. By
July 81 the tabulating cards will be
ready and then it will be snecessary to
dispense with the services OF about
1000 clerks now employed in the popu-
lation division. The system adopted
for collecting population statistics has
given satisfactory results, and only a
few days ago, after a careful examna-
tiOn by Canadian officials, was adopted
by their government for use in the TAX
ing of the next census of Canada. The
Austrian and Australian governments
have also, after careful examination.
signified their intention Of adopting
this system.

President Dwight Delivers the
BaccaIaureate Sermon.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, June 2l.-The
Yale commencement exercises began
this morning with the delivery of the
baccalaureate sermon by President
Dwight. The text was: BE ye,there-
fore, imitators of God. as beloved chill
dren"-Ephesians vi. Among other
things, President Dwight said:
You are assembled this morning to
listen to the final message of eXhorta-
tlOn and suggestion which the Chris
tian teaching has for you before you
pass beyond the gateway of our college
life. l find this message in this brief
sentence of the Apostles, and l ask you
to think of it. Regard yourselves as
having reached the position of thought
ful. mature, independent men. But
bear in mind that you have, and ever
near, too, a divine Father. The sense
OF your life'S influence will be
beyond the possibility of our measure
ment, and never was this truer than it
is to-day. What power in the re-
IglouS world IS the man who puts away
railing and bitterness? What a power
In ordinary life is the man who is known
to be tree from coVetOuSneSS and all
that can be called falsehood. The true
growth of life, according to the Christian
teaching, is from the center outward.
Life, in its highest meaning, begins in
the soul, and it develops from the souls
center into and through every part of
the man."
To the graduating class lie said:
1.-The morning of manhood is just be
fore you. May the new morning be a
very bright one to you all. May it bear
with it pleasant memories of the past,
and may it abide long i'll its influence
and its Joy for every one of your num-
Der. May the thought of what is be-
yond it in the distance, and in the far
distance, be the sweetest of all your
thoughts, full of peace for you as chill
dren of God, full of hope for the unseen
things, as you find yourselves always
growing into His likeness, more and
more, through your imitation of Him.
