TIE DRINK pANnEn.

Tho Medical Pioneer, the Official organ OF
the British Medical Temperance Association,
says
'As an association we proclaim the dan
ger and the damage OF drink both TO health
ana life, nrnd and morals. The common
sale and the widespread use OF alcohol In all
lts mixtures Is more potent cause of un-
thrift and poverty, vice and crime, OF disease
ana death than any other single cause and
than most other causes put together II Is
the fashion now TO say that intemperance
has greatly diminished, especially among the
upper classes. That 1t Is not so universal az
X used 20 be may be thankfully admitted
also that some gross customs have been done
nTay with, but habitual drunkenness is still
ieariuily prevalent In all classes, high and
low, rich and poor, educated and Ignorant.
while hard drinking, free and careless drink
ing, Is 80 common as TO be often unnoticed.
IL Is fact that, without being obvious
drunkards, there are hundreds OF thousands
OF men who are scarcely ever sober from one
years end to another. They are not drunk
and incapable I for the sake OF their wives
ana families and OF the public, 1t would be
petter II they were. They are only too capa-
Die OF doing mischief. Their muddled brains
are dead TO every good and holy Impulse and
they are led captive by the devil at his Will"

Revolution
In Eating

has been brought about by the
introduction of CoTToLENE, the
new vegetable shortening. The
discovery of this product, and the
demonstration Of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the common
shortening has been lard, or
Indifferent butter. Every one has
probably suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-cooked food;
while tits well known that thous-
ands are obliged to abstainentire-
ly from everything of that kind.
TO such people, CoTToLENE is of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range of what may be
eaten and enjoyed. CoTToLENE
is a cooking marvel. 1t confines
with the food-imparts TO it a
tempting color, delicate favor
and an appetizing crispness.
No trace of greasiness remains
to offend the taste, or disturb the
digestion.
CoTToLENE is worthy of the
careful notice OF all those who
value good food, of itself or for
its hygienic properties.

THE rIoKET-oF-LEAvE MAN.
His Struggle to be Respectable After
Leaving Prison is a Hopeless One.
From London Truth

From London Truth.
A cripple and eX-convict, charged at
Croydon the other day with begging, said
that since he came out of prison thirteen
wear ago the police had been so down on
him" that he had found it utterly impos-
sible to earn an honest living. He gave
strong corroborative evidence of this. A
gentleman willing to befriend him had
offered to set him mp as hawker, but the
police would not grant him license; and
it was now explained in court that this
was correct, as "only respectable men
could have hawkers' licenses BY way
Of assisting him towards becoming res
pectable and getting a living otherwise
than by begging and stealing: the Croy-
don bench sent this man to Jail for three
weeks The cruelty of all this is bad
enough, but confess what impresseS me
yet more is its stupidity.
Another case of somewhat similar char
acter occurred at Southport, where man
under police supervision was imprisoned
for three weeks for failing to report him
self to the police. This man had just
worked out an utterly mOnStrOuS sentence
of twenty years penal servitude, follow
ing on previous period of five years, but
for two years past he had been getting a
living as book canvasser, and is des-
cribed as of respectable appearance. He
complained that the police made his life a
misery to him, and said that it was in
order to escape from an intoleFable es-
pionage that he omitted to report himself.
Police supervision is necessarily irksome
to the supervised, but there is no reason
why it should be injurious, as it too often
is. The truth is that the police authori-
ties have no idea of assisting an eX-crimi-
nal who really desires to amend his ways.
This hopeless position of ticket-Of-leave
men and parties under police supervision
was strongly corroborated by the story
told last week at the southwestern police
court. bv one Daniel O'Connel, who was
charged with failing to report himself.
Daniel said tnat in the effort to support
himself he went to America, but being
only able TO get odd Jobs he worked his
passage back He then went hOp-picking
in Kent, and was hOoted out of the fields,
because he was a ticket-Of-leave man.
His next attempt was TO drown himself,
but he was pulled out of the water, and
was sent to q lunatic asylum for twelve
months One would think that after. all
this the failure of the poor wretch to re-
port himself might have been overlooked,
but Mr. Denman, although he was Of
ficially informed that the story was true
so far as could be ascertained, saw the
matter in different light, and added an
other chapter to OiCOnnelPs experience
by awarding him three months hard La
Dor. The man who pulled Daniel out OF
the water has good deal to answer for,
though possibly not as much as Mr.. Den

ANOTHER GAMBLER CUT.
A Crap Game at an Early Hour This
Morning Results In A Row.


This morning shortly after 2 O'Clock a
crowd of fifteen or twenty negroes was
playing craps at Zuby and Lumber streets.
A young negro, whose name was given
at the police barracks as Willy, it seems
picked up a five-cent piece and the whole
crowd started to chase him. When he
was caught several of the negroes pulled
out knives and hacked him up to con-
siderable extent.
Detective Bossell was notified of the
affair and went down to investigate, He
sent in a negro named William Jones
about half past two. Jones admitted
being in the crowd, but uknew nothing
about the cutting.
The negro who was cut is said to be
quite seriously injured. He was taken to
