CRIME IN PARIS.
Terrible Strides In the Advancement OF
Alcoholic Insanity

Terrible Strides In the Advancement of
Alcoholic insanity.
At the police station the quietly dis.
posed are sorted out and separated
from the violent criminals, says a
writer in the Fortnightly Review. In
the morning the latter are brought up
for examination by the chief medical
officer of the prefecture of police. who
does his best to ascertain whether he
has to do with lunatics or malefaetors.
The eminent man who has filed this
post for many years is DIR. Paul Gar
nicr. and he it was who kindly con-
sented to suspend, in my favor, the
rule which excludes from his examin-
ing-room all persons who are not mem
bers of the staff. The small, low-ceil-
inged room has witnessed many
dramas, for between its narrow walls
are conducted nightly the malefactors
the meshes of their nets. They enter
held by each shoulder between two
wardens. In their eyes one reads the
terror of an animal caught in a trap.
They are aware that here are the cross
roads where their fate is to be decided
on the right the maGhouse, on the left
the convict prison. And all, whether
mad or only feigning madness, take
refuge in incoherent or outrageous
language, in stupor or commissions.
Closely observant, taking notes or
drawing up reports, DR.. GARNER sits
behind his table. Sad. indeed, is the
conclusion arrived at by his medical
experience. His figures prove that
during the last sixteen years from
1872 to 1851 lunacy has increased in
Paris in the proportion of thirty per
cent This increase is due to the fact
that two morbid types-general paral-
ysis and alcoholic insanity-are spread.
ing to an alarming extent The prog
ress of alcoholic insanity has been so
rapid that the evil is now twice as
prevalent as it was fifteen years ago
Almost third of the lunacy cases OBJ
served at the Depot infirmary are
due to this disease, and every day it
declares itself more violently and with
more marked homicidal tendency.
The accomplice of two-thirds of the
crimes committed. upon whom the
criminals themselves throw the re-
sponsibility of their evil deeds and
whom the police never succeeded in
discovering, exists That accomplish

There, as in his fathers cabin, or
New Salem, or Vandalia, or Spring
field, the man Lincoln never gave n
fraction of thought or a moment of care
TO any question of dress. He followed
the ordinary fashion and wore what the
tailor, halter, and boot-ma ker made for
him And so clad, the humblest citi-
zens stood in his presence without awe,
and the highest dignitaries with perfect
respect The world has yet to learn
that Gen. Scott. or Lord Lyons, or
Bishop Simpson, or Prince Napoleon,
or Archbishop Hughes, or the COmte de
Paris, or Chief Justice fancy ever felt
humiliated by the dress or want OF
dignity of President Lincoln in state,
ceremonial or private audience. The
eyes of these men were not upon the
tailor's suit of broadcloth, but upon the
president and the man, and in such a
scrutiny Lincoln outranked any mortal
who ever questioned him eye to eye in
his long and strange career from New
Salem to the blue room OF the white

never used meaningless and misleading

Garments That are Regarded as Being In
Good Taste.
The French princess dress has con-
stantly increasing vogue and is certain
to rank among the dominant modes for
the spring
The new black watered silks are
made up with soft, lustrous satins, the
color of the stripe wrought with jet in
fine arabesque designs
Some of the new muttou-leg sleeves
are longer than ever, but are less high
on the shoulders They have wrist
trimmings which fall over the hand as
in the days of the Plantagenets
India red is the name given to a new
street shade of that color, which APP
wool mixtures. 1t is a beautiful dive
between that of a crimson and a rich

being adopted by slender women. The
seams up the back of many of these
coats are overlaid with fine silk gimp

and also covers the side and dart seams.
Beige and tan shades, SO popular for
several seasons past, are greatly in the
majority, both in the piece and on the
color cards A special fancy this sea-
son is the use of pale green shades as
accessories for light tan dresses. Dark
! greens in pine, moss and sage will be
used with gray and fawn gowns

almost everywhere else, but walking
abroad one sees that every woman he

her personal appearance. adopted q
round hat of some sort, usually the
Henri Deux, and if not that the Henri

At recent wedding the three BRIDE
maids wore dresses of lustrous corded
silk. The bell-shaped skirts were fin

the foot and the Louis coats opened
over dainty vests of cream lace. They
each of them wore London gypsy hats
of cream velvet trimmed with lace,
short ostrich tips and pink roses.
Great attention is now paid to the
style and decoration of travelling cos

half-worn passe suits were good enough
for a journey, but now the stylish outfit
to be worn Oh car or steamer is as much
considered as any part OF the wardrobe.
Harris tweed is just now favorite
material for travelling costumes.
Bretelles will be much used during
the coming season, Upon French mod
els bretelles of lace, velvet or silk are
seen that are mere point below the

She. was such an ethereal creature,
with her mild blue eyes and golden
hair! AS chill she was so delicate
and white that her friends and dear

grow TO womanhood. But. somehow,
the little body became taller as the
years went by; there was trace of
pink in her cheek. but il was so rare
that one could not see where it blended
with the white; and she was SO happy!

that she would ever reach her studies.

charge of not having motor under control,
was made against him. As he was ar

with more solicitude and care than is ex-

once for all, and, if satisfactory, the diff

POLITICAL NOTE !.
BY AN OLD BIRD.

81 AN OLD Bird
The Express calls Senator Coke
"Old Lungs" now, ipused to repes
with pride the mic name of "Old
Brains Coke would be"Uld Brains"
now If he was Clark man. The fact
is, Coke rose on the crest of the wave
of political prejudice that seized the
government of Texas. The Hogg
democracy of today lie really an i'm
provement over the Coke democracy
of 1874 Coke went INTO the governors
chair as the representative of q sem
timent of hatred against the federal
government, against the negro and
the republican party as vio-
lent as the sen timent that
hurled the land into civil war
Geo Clark was Coke's warwick; he
was Coke's right baud man, aud
helped him to break into the state
capital with q mob of armed ruffians
Geo. Clark has reformed, has
become liberal minded man, ready
to accept the help of every friend of
f. J. Davis in the state Old Coke
has been mellowing In the U. 3. sen
ate until he too, is as mild as q
reformed pirate. .HOgg Is a mere
sucking, when compared to Coke and
Clark 1t was under their leadership
that Texas was captured from the
lin favOrite democratic parlsnce)
"thieving, numbering, tyranical
horde led by f. ]. Davis"
But Coke denoGnces his old field
marshal, his dashing lieutenant,
Clark, as a traitor who should not be
permitted 10 live. Now let Clark give
his opinion of his old Napoleonic COM
msnder. It's all in order.
Judge E. E. Bowers, Of Dallas, has
been In our city some days, and Is &C.
credited as an agent of Geo. Clark, at
any rate Bowers has been indus
triOusly at work with the Callaghan
family and might have left town and
b s tracks not been discovered had he
avoided the Express interviewer.
Bowers had to say something ugly
about E. j. Davis. The people Of this
city thought more of E. j. Davis than
they ever will of any of his detractors.
A little of: advice tn Geo. Clark:
When you stick your finger into our
political waters, pull it straight out,
so as to leave no hole.
