Some Things That ought TO be Said.
To the Editor OF the JOURNAL AND COURIER
The life of young and exceedingly use
full clergyman, who was also husband and
father, recently deceased, seems to have
been sacrificed between hot stove and an
open carriage at a funeral service. 1t is a
very common thing for the minister offici-
sting at private funerals to be stationed
near q stove in order for him to be heard
in the greatest number of rooms in which
the friends and family may be seated. The
stove happens to be about there. I have
seen it in dozens of instances. When not
near a stove, which is sometimes heated
seven times its usual wont, it is in the hall
which may or may not be greatly prefer
able. Generally it is. In this particular
instance gentleman present noticed how
warm the minister seemed to be as he con-
cluded the services. Very likely he was
not in his usual strength, having just re-
covered from a slight attack of grip.
From the house he was put into an open
carriage aud rode to the cemetery, where
he oficiated, presumably, with barred head,
was taken to his residence thoroughly
chilled, and was dead in a few days, from
an attack of pneumonia.
Iu cities. the hack has mostly taken the
place of the open carriage; but in towns
and villages the clergyman is almost in
variably put at the head of the procession
in an open carriage, even when the family
and friends are provided with hacks.
Many's the time that / have seen the
clergyman sheltering himself as best hs
could from rain or snow under an umbrel-
la, or exposed to fierce wind in buggy,
while the family and friends were riding
comfortably in closed carriages
1t is at a time when he has no choice.
His wish is not consulted. He grsciously
submits to the risk which he knows he
runs. He may be parboiled by having to
stand near heated stove or register, and,
at any event. thoroughly warned by the
service then Immediately chilled through
by ride of one or more miles. In the in
stance above cited it was undoubtedly a
providence" But whose-God's, the

AN INTER RSrUNG TEg RORv-

AN lNTERES TING THEORY.
NJ. Le Roux has been making an inter
yesting and important study of come phases
of crime in Paris, and he has come to the
conclusion that what he calls s.salcoholic
insanity" is largely on the increase. The
accomplice of two-thirds of the crimes
committed, he declares, is alcohol. But
NJ. LIE Roux does not mean that two-thirds
of the crimes are committed by men or
women under the influence of liquor.
His theory is, indeed, a much more dis
tressing one to contemplate. 1t is that
there are hereditary alcoholists"-cbil-
dren who are predisposed to crime be-
cause their parents were drunksrds.
These hereditary alcoholists" begin
their careers of crime young. In NJ.
LIE Roux's own words: "During the last
ten years the criminal type has entered on
a new phase. Before that date the assassin
was generally a man in the vigor of his
strength and manhood; he had tasted life
in all its forms. Such were Tropmann,
Prado, Eyraud, Pranzini. Nowadays it
is the youth of barely twenty who murders.
The jurymen hesitate to condemn him on
account of his youth, although they are
Mortified at his cold blooded ferocity, and
at the absence of moral sense which he
displays. Since I have frequented the
haunts of misery and vice in Paris, have
observed gutter children by the hundred
who are only waiting their opportunity to
become assassins.
In these depraved youth the will is usu-
ally strong, the emotions weak. They
cannot, therefore, be considered as we'll
balanced, although they are doubtless sane
enough to be held responsible for their
acts. NJ. LIE Roux, in spite of the conclu-
sions to which his investigations have led
him, does not hold in much favor the the
ory which makes all crime disease and
imputes to the criminal intellectual ir-
responsibility. GAS rule" he says,
"the hereditary alcoholist is not only
very obstinate, but very intelligent. He
shows great skill and shrewdness in
the planning and execution of his crime,
and afterwards, when he is taken, in de-
fence of his ife." He shows that crimi-
mails of this kind have neither pity nor
tenderness, and he makes no appeal for
the display of either quality on the part of
the State in dealing with them.
This theory, if proved true, would add
not little to the difficulties of several So
cial problems

THE GREAT
Substitution SHOE SlLEI
NOW GOING ON AT

NOW GO1NG On AT
854 Chapel Street,
Is unexampled in shoe trade history. NJ.
Bristol & Sons are selling out. Our con-
nection with the new 'Bristol Shoe Manu-
featuring Company on Orange street
makes this imperative. Our entire stock
of boots and shoes must be out of our
store within the next six weeks. $50, 900
worth of boots and shoes must be sold.
Former prices knocked out, positively.
This sacrifice beats them all.
Friday morning, December 11th, our
prices will be cut all along the line, and
bargains unheard of will be offered.
We determined after 80 years of business
to manufacture and sell our own goods,
and as a consequence our Bristol Shoe
Manufacturing company was organized
last month. It's finished product is now
ready for our disposition. We must use
our own new shoes and therefore must
clean out all other makes
The consideration for cost or former
prices is out of the question. 'Twould be
folly to look elsewhere for shoes of the same
grade at our prices. Raw leather cannot
be bought as cheap. We mention few of
our unapproachable bargains:

THE LAND or THE FREE.

THE LAND OF THE FREE.
We have before occasionally remarked
that this is a great, glorious and compara-
lively free country. We wish now to add
that some parts of it are freer than others.
There are places in the West, for instance,
that are 30 free that even the marriage tie
is not at all binding there, and a divorce
can be secured by anybody for anything.
''Incompatibility" of any kind is enough.
Pay your money, let the old partner 60,
and be ready for a new one. And, absurd
as 1t may seem, there is not little compe-
tition for the divorce trade. Thus North
Dakota paper is cracking up that section
of the progressive West as a good site for
divorce colonies. 1t remarks that sensitive
people who wish to avoid unnecessary ex-
plotting of their domestic grievances ought
to try the remoter North Dakota divorce
districts. Here the delicacy of the situa-
ton is understood, the residents are cor
dial and sympathetic, the courts temper
justice with mercy, and the press is not
calloused and impertinent as in the vitiated
mart of Sioux Falls." And Boise City,
Idaho, is developing and building up
strong opposition boom to Sioux Falls,
SoutL Dakota, in the divorce business.
When the courts opened in the former
city last week there were over twenty
divorce cases on the calendar of the dis
trict court. 1t is very easy to secure
divorce in Idaho, aud as a
local paper remarks, "people in
adjoining States are beginning
to appreciate the fact" Six months con-
stitutes legal residence, and some county
seats in the State are so remote and Sc
cluded that actions are never heard of un-
til after they are decided. 1t is as easy to
to tie as to unite the matrimonial knot in
Idaho. No license is required and few
questions are asked
Go West, unhappy" married man or
married woman. There you can find free
dom, and the delicate and considerate in
habitants of the region will not make your
divorce proceedings any more vulgar than
Is necessary
