Commodore Stanton Given a Better

Commodore Stanton Given Better
/ WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 21.-Secretary Her
bert this evening gave out his decision
in the case OF Commodore Stanton, who
was detached from command of the
South Atlantic squadron for saluting
Admiral Mello, in the harbor of Rio.
The secretary restored Stanton to duty
and assigned him to the command of
the North Atlantic squadron. This is
regarded as perhaps the choicest station
to command.
The concluding portion Of Secretary
Herbert's letter is as follows: "The
department never for q moment con-
sidered you intentionally guilty OF
wrong in the matter but only that you
committed grave error of judgment.
For this reason and to satisfy the au-
thorities of Brazil, who were offended
at your action, you were detached from
your command. The department now
feeling assured that no further action
will be necessary to prevent q recur-
renee of such errors, as soon as practi-
cable will restore you to your command.

Cannjbalistic COckro nc hes.

Cockroaches are so common in Bra
lillian country houses that nobody pays
much attention to them. They have
an unpleasant way of getting into pro-
vision boxes and they deface books,
shoes and sometimes clothing. Where
wall paper is used they soon eat it off
into unsightly patches, no doubt seek
ing the paste beneath. But at Cor
ba, on the Upper Paraguay, l came
across the cockroach in a new role. In
the house where we were staying there
were nearly a dozen children, and
everyone of them had their eyelashes
more ar less eaten off by coachroaches
a large brown species one of the
commonest kind throughout Brazil
The eyelashes were bitten off irregu-
larly, in some places quite close to the
lid Like most Brazilians these had
very long, black eyelashes. and their
appearance thus defaced was odd
enough. The trou Bile was confined to
children, l suppose, because they are
heavy sleepers and do not disturb the
insects while ut work.

SOME GOOD REASONS

why a Citizen Should Give His Vote In
Favor of the Prohibition Party.
Tallie Morgan says that you should
vote the Prohibition ticket:
Because neither of the other parties
can possibly settle the issues now be-
fore the country.
Because no party can legislate for
the good of the country that is con-
trolled by vicious minority.
Because both of the old parties are
controlled by the rum and saloon vote,
for every intelligent person knows that
neither party could have shadow of
a chance to win without that vicious
vote.
Because thi 8 nation must have new
party in order to preserve the repu bile,
and that party must be one that will
not have the rum and saloon vote in it.
Because the Prohibition party is the
only one that can keep out that class
of men
Because the success of the Prohibi.
tion party means the total overthrow
of the drink traffic, and the 81, 600, 0OO,-
900 now expended for liquor in this
ndtlOn WOuiu go IOE tue HeCeSSdrlcS Oh
life which would at once give employ.
ment to over million idle hands
Because your vote would register
your convictions on the liquor ques-
tion.
Because you would proclaim your
opposition to the present corrupt politi-
cal methods of the old parties and
declare yourself in favor of new
party.
Because your vote would help the
building up of the new party.
Because the Prohibition party is the
only one that stands for the home
and the protection of the rising gen.
Grafton.
Because the whisky business is no
worse than the law that permits it; the
law is no worse than the political party
that enacts or continues the law, and
the party is no worse than you if you
vote with it.
Because you owe it to your home,
your country and your God.

A Jayanese Tiger Fight.

The tiger is set down in trap il the
centre of the Allon -Allon, or great
square, and is surrounded by triple
or quadruple line of spearsmen, about
a hundred yards distant from him.
When all is ready, a Javanese advances
at a very slow pace, to the sound OF
soft music, and sets FIRE to the trap at
the same time opening the door at the
back part of the cage, which, by the
way, is too narrow for the tiger to
turn in. AS the fire begins to singe his
whiskers, he gradually backs out The
man, us soon as he has opened the door,
begins walking toward the crowd at a
slow pace, and the slower he walks the
more applause does he gain The tiger,
meanwhile, having backed out of his
burning prison, is rather astonished at
finding himself surrounded by hun
dreds of people, each pointing spear
at him. If he is a bold tiger, he canters
round the circle, almost touching the
spears; finding no opening, then he re-
turns to the centre, fixes his eyes on
one spot and with loud roar dashes
str aight at it. He is received on the
spears, and though he crushes many,
as if they were mere reeds, in half
minute he falls dead, pierced by hum
dred weapons. In some instances, how
ever, the roar and charge are too much
for the Javanese, and they give way.
The sport" then becomes rather dam
gerous to the spe ctators-

Doctored Its Own Tail.

A small coy gave a lesson in nataral
history the other day. He brought
into the Office species of lizard popu-
larly known as the swift" Holding
the little reptile above his head he let
it fall to the floor, with the result that
a section of its tail was broken off.
Noticing that it was minus a part OF
it's prehensile organ the swift after
discovering the piece of tail lost, backed
slowly up to it, and, placing the stub
against the piece, held it in contact for
few seconds, and then ran swiftly
away with his tail glued together, ap-
parently as sound as ever. This expert
ment was repeated several times with
the same result. Swift glue could
doubtless lie used successfully in stick
ing dismem bered linn bs, fingers, etc,

sestion to local surgeons for what it is

ant will gain control, and high ami
noble life will become impossible
This question of drink is not separa'
bic from any of our great social prob
lens.
It confronts us; whether we consider
the publication of politics, or the rec
oncilement of laborers and employers,
or the reform of criminals, or the
checking of divorces, or the wisdom Of
giving the suffrage to woman.
Alcohol is so fatally the foe of all
that the best cong us nope for, thai
the good in increasing mum bcrs come
to the side of those who oppose its use.
When society, a religion or party
is perishing for lack of vital truth,
but those who defend and those who
attack hasten the ruin.
The process of dissolution is carried
on by causes which lie deeper than the
arguments of partisans ever reach.
Now, here in America belief in the
good of alcoholic beverages is growing
weaker.
Poets no longer praise the sparkling
wine; orators do not proclaim its vir.
tues; ply sicians begin to reject it even
as a medicine; mothers and wives
shudder at the sight of it. and children
are brought up to believe that it is the
bitter water of sin and death.
In all this we see the direction en-
lightened opinion is taking
What can equal the indecency and
the senselessness of the attacks made
upon the advocates of Prohibition in
the press controlled by the liquor
traffic?
But, in spite of all the confusion Of
angry hearts and bitter tongues, those
who believe in the good of Total A b.
stinence and in PROM rition as the most
and, l may say, only effective means Of
repressing the evils of drink, are grow
ing stronger and more numerous.
They have the onfidence which high
and generous aims inspire.
Their cause is that of humanity.
They are persuaded they are work
ing with God, for home and country?
They understand that only the most
vigorous moral life can make posi- bic
the tasks which our providential mis-
sion imposes, and though they may
seem to be striving only to put down
drunkenness, they themselves feel that
they are working for all the highest
and holiest interests of man.
The very genius of America is good
Will to men, and thousand hidden
forces guide and uphold whoever here
labors for purer and nobler life.
And how else shall we better serve
the cause of Christian faith?

Declares that the Catholics of the Country

Ollie Church in America He has
1abored for years in the reform, care
fully watching the results of all meth
DDS. He was among those who hoped
for good things from High License.
While people were awaiting evidences
of the practical value of High License
laws, Bishop Ireland confidently an
nounccd it as his opinion that High
License would prove 'the final solu-
tion of the liquor pro blem"
But like nearly all honest High
License advocates, he has changed his
mind. He now declares for Prohibi-
ton, and, in an address before the
Minnesota Catholic Total Abstinence
Union, said:

years ago in this war fare; but | hope
God will forgive us for our weakness,
for we went into the battle field with
out sufficient resolution. We labored
under the fatal mistake that we could
argue out the ques ton with the liquor
sellers. We imagined there was some
power in moral suasion, that when we
would show them the evil of their
ways they would abandon the traffic.
We have seen there is no hope of i'm
proving in any shape or form the Ii
quor traffic.
There is nothing now to be done
but to wipe it out completely. / have
lost TOO much of my time striving in
the past to repair the fearful evils of
the liquor traffic. have lost too much
time in speaking of Total A abstinence
in hall and pulpit to men, who. while
listening, were with me, but who out
in the streets, would be invited by the
saloon keeper to come and take drink
and forget their resolutions Well,
some of us are growing old, and do
not intend to be throwing away our
time in arguing with people who will
not be converted, and l for one am
going to go in with terrible earnest
ness in the future in this war against
this time.
"Now, in order to succeed, wish to
enroll every man. We Catholics will
unite with our fellow citizens of all
classes and all denominations to do
away with that terrible shame, sin,
and disgrace of the saloon. All those
who violate the law and disgrace us go
into the saloon first; and would we be
patriots, would we be Americans, if
we did not turn round and meet with
our whole strength the spring of crime
the accursed saloon?

that you have enlisted for war, but
meaning business this time; clean out
the whole institution of dram-selling.
We are blessed in every way. There
is not in the world country equal to
our own; and what we have to fear is
intemperance-the one curse in coun-
try or city?"

Birds AS Cholera yVarners.

1t is said to be matter of record
that when an epidemic of cholera
threatens a certain locality, the birds
leave the neighborhood few days be-
fore the appearance of the scourge
This was noticed in connection with
the recent outbreak of the epidemic at
Hamburg. In 1884, the same phe-
nomena occurred at NIarseilles and
Toulon, where all the birds, as if ao-
tuated by a common Impulse, aband-
oned the plague stricken cities. and
took up their abode at Hyeres, which
was fortunate in escaping the plague.
In 1872 all the sparrows left the town
of Prezemsyl. Galicia, two days before
the appearance of the pest and not a
single bird returned before the end of
Novem Der, when the cholera had en-.
tirely disappeared. Let us hope that
the birds may remain with us this
summer.
