OPIUM AND MORPHINE HABIT.

Tho Most Scientific M Method of Cure Recently
Come to Light-The Opium Habit-A
New Method Of Treatment-Its Success
Already Demonstrated in This City.
There has been quiet movement going
on of late to establish sanitarium here for
the treatment of victims Of the opium habit
under the methods practiced by Drs Kim
near and Forrest, of Illinois.
Upon the request of certain capitalists
DR.. Kinnear a short time ago came to Pitts
burg to demonstrate by treatment of some
well-known obstinate cases his ability to
cure this most unfortunate vice quickly and
completely, without nervous shock or pain
to those treated.
This he has done to the entire satisfaction
of every one concerned, and in each case in
the incredibly brief time of one week from
the beginning of treatment. DR.. Kennear
is a graduate of Jefferson Medical College,
of Philadelphia, also of Rush Medical Col
lege, Chicago, and served three years as
United States Army Surgeon in the War of
the Rebellion, and has been in regular
practice ever since. He is member in
good standing of the American Medical
Association, the Illinois State Medical So
Association. He has practiced this special

failure, though having the larger proportion
of his patients of those who had
been dismissed from other institutions
as incurabie after the most persistent and
prolonged efforts to effect cure. Indeed,
the doctor invites just such cases for testing
the efficacy of his treatment. and at the
same time he guarantees entire freedom
from pain or nervous shock. The cases
tested here have been under the constant
inspection from beginning to end of treat
ment of DR.. j. NJ. Miller, of Allegheny
City, who will gladly furnish all informa-
tion to any who may be interested in this
subject.
Complete arrangements have been made
for the practice of this specially here, and
all cases desiring treatment can be received
at once, and are requested to call upon or
address DR.. Miller at his Office, 80 Federal
street, Allegheny City, Pa
The treatment will be continued here un-
til the permanent organization is effected
and desirable building secured for sani-
tarium. AS soon as the sanitarium is COM
pleted the treatment of inebriety will be
with the same assurance of success
as that of the opium habit.

Agent Mcclure filed one against Andrew

In the objections filed against George Nc.
Dermott North Versailles, the reasons given
are that he has no lease on the proposed
tavern, which is located at the railroad sta
tion on the opposite side from the .popula-
tion of the town of Port Perry, and would
therefore be dangerous to life. The house is
not adapted to the purpose, and when pre-
viously licens ed it was extensively annoying
to the people of the town. There are %

SERIOUS STREET CAR WRECK.

u.
dler Seriously Hurt-A Carload of Peo-
pie Jump to Avoid Irjury-A Sweeper
Damaged.
B. L. H. Dabbs, the well-known photog-
rapher, was seriously hurt in a street car
collision at South Highland and Ellsworth
avenues about 7:30 o'clock last night. Mrs.
Dabbs was bruised considerably and
John vickroy, a boy peddler, was
badly injured The accident was
peculiar and serious one and was
followed by another collision, in which
street car and a snow scraper were wrecked
and a carload of people were compelled to
jump hastily from the car for safety.
At the time of the first accident sweeper
No. 2, of the Duquesne traction line, was
on its way to the city in charge of Motor
man John Carr. As it reached South High
land and Ellsworth avenues, car No. 5, of
the Pittsburg traction, also coming to the
city, came up with Gripman j. Frail in the
cab. Officer Toner, who is on duty at the
corner, gave the signal to come on, he says,
to the sweeper, and it started ahead. At the
same time the cable car was put in motion,
Gripman Frail evidently mistaking the
signal The car moved rapidly and was half
way over the crossing when the sweeper

and throwing the passengers in heap. B.
L. H. Dabbs and his wife were seated in the
cable car. Mr. Dabbs was thrown against
the stove; his nose was broken and his face
was cut so badly that it is feared he is
disfgured for life Mrs. Dabbs was thrown
into the aisle, but escaped with few
bruises received from others falling on her.
John Vickroy, the boy peddler, was thrown
across the car and struck the opposite seat
on his side, badly injuring him. The other
passengers escaped with few bruises DR..
Page attended Mr.. Dabbs and young Wick
foy and they were removed to their homes.
The cable car was sent back to the Oak
land shed. The sweeper had been forced of
the tracks and considerable time was spent
in getting it ON the rails again. This was
finally accomplished by working the sweep
er up towards the Ellsworth avenue bridge.
There is a high grade there and as the
sweeper got on the track the men lost con-
troll OF it and it started back toward East
Liberty. Car "a, Duquesne line, was wait
ing with load of passengers to come to
Pittsburg. The motorman, seeing the sweep
er coming toward him, reversed and shouted
for the passengers to jump. They did SO
promptly, and as the last of them got out
the sweeper caught the car. The collision
smashed the car platform up to the door and
wrecked the sweeper for the
time being. 1t was sent with car "a to the
barn and the road was cleared. The block
ade lasted about an hour.

resulted in regular rough and tumble

George w. Miner's Friends Disappointed,

George w. MfI1er's Friends Disappointed.
The friends Of George w. Miller, the
newly-appointed Collector of Internal Rev.
enue, were considerably disappointed yes
terday at the failure of the United States
Senate to confirm the appointment. 1t was
expected by many that the appointment
would be confirmed yesterday. MI. Miller
himself was probably the only one who
seemed satisfied with the condition. In an
swer to a question he said: "No, have
received no word from Washington, and of
course I don't know whether or not my ap-
pointment has been confirmed. 1 NAV be
prejudiced in my own favor, but 1 know
there is no reason why should not be con-
ir1ned, and if I am turned down I guess 1
can stand it."

TRAFFIC BADLY 0BsTRUCTED,
The Heavy Fall of Snow Seriously Int
feres With Traction Lines.

The Heavy Fall Of Snow Seriously Inter-
feres With Traction Lines
Yesterdays snowstorm not only cast a
damper' over St. Patrick's Day celebrations,
but played havoc with street railway sched-
ules. ALI the traction lines in the two cities
were more or less inconvenienced by it.
Salt cars were brought into use on all of
them, but in spite Of them the tracks were
slippery and it was a hard matter either to
make good headway or to stop at corners.
On several lines sweepers were finally
brought out and the tracks were put in
better shape. At midnight every car ON
the Birmingham line had lost two trips, and
a similar condition of affairs was found on
other lines.
At o'clock this morning the snow had
almost ceased. but the indications are for
more of it to-day. Should it keep up dur
ing the day steam railroads will be seriously
affected. The temperature fell to 30 yester-
day and there is not much chance of its
rising to-day.

No accomplishment excels a thorough
mastery of English. Those who have
acquired it are the most cultivated and
scholarly men and women of our age.
This superiority frequently passes I'M
noticed, for it has certain subtle quail
ity like the delicate odor of roses. On
reading or listening to the best English
we never think of the form of expression,
and not till afterward, when the clear
ness Of our conception reveals itself, do
we notice the beauty and the appropri-
ateness of the language. To use English
appropriately, elegantly and forcibly i'm
plies not only thorough knowledge of
the language itself, but also broad Gull
ture. It implies both connected, logical
thought and the ability to clothe the
thought dramatically, rhetorically and
connectedly in fit language. A style as
massive and majestic as that of Burke or
Macaulay renders any man immortal.
The grace of Irving and the copious flu
ency of Scott fascinate the reader; and
the power to write with the eloquence of
Mr.. George William Curtis, President
Eliot or Colonel Higginson would recon-
Gle almost anybody to being a Mug
wump Education.

The Argus processes to see some in
consistency in the PRESSES criticism of
the raid upon the Bangor rumsellers
after its previous declarations in favor of
prohibition as a means of decreasing
drinking and drunkenness. 1t is prohi-
bition vigorously and continuously en-
forced-such prohibition as Sheriff Cram
has given us-that the PRESS has con-
tended would reduce drinking and drunk
enness. Prohibition enforced by fits and
starts, but neglected the greater part of
the time, has no tendency to diminish
drinking, and the only effect of it is to
excite prejudice. Prohibition en-
forced in the way that it is enforced in
Bangor, is practically license. 1t will
never accomplish anything but to oeea-
sionally put some money into the coun-
ty treasury and breed contempt for law
in general and the prohibitory law in par
ticular. As far as diminishing drinking
and drunkenness is concerned it is al
together worthless.

The Louisiana Democrats are trying to
patch up the quarrel that the lottery is
sue precipitated among them on the basis
of the retirement of both the
lottery and anti-lottery candidates
for governor and the nomination
of new man. The McEnery, or lottery
faction, have given their assent to this
arrangement, but the anti-lottery wing
have not definitely made up their minds.
Probably they are troubled by the re-
port that Director Morris's declaration
that the lottery will not ask renewal
of its charter is merely ruse to secure a
renewal more easily and with less ex-
penditure of cash, and fear this invitation
of the McEnery crowd is much like that
of the spider to the fly. There are GER
tainly good grounds for the suspicion.

We have been favored with a marked
copy of the Waterville Mail containing
an elaborate argument to prove that it is
perfectly proper to criticise candidate
for congressional nomination even
though he be the governor of the state.
That is proposition so self evident,
however, that all the space ,,sed in ar
guing it is wasted. 1t is not criticism
that Governor Burleigh's friends have
been complaining of, but unjust criti-
cism. The argument comes in the shape
of communication, signed IS" the
Mail explaining with naivete that is
quite charming, that the reason
that the authors name was not
signed to it was because he was SO great
and influential man that it was feared
that the article might be given more
weight than it was really entitled to. The
Mail appears to think that its own testi-
mony to the authors greatness will have
no weight.
