Then Set Fire to the Place.
WhcnMr Murphy ofthe firm of Lynch&Mur.
ply went to open his saloon atTwentyfour h
and n streets yesterday morning he found
things in a terrible mess. During the night
some one had set fire to the place and tapped
the till, The room was still filled with
smoke when Murphy arrived, but the flames
had dieo out. Both the back and side doors
were standing wide open.
The thief could have entered through a
back window, but ii is likely he used n key
to the side door, as the window docs not look
us though it had been disturbed. The locks
on all of the doors are Common. and it would
be an easy matter to get Il key that would
fit. After getting on the inside the thief
evidently attempted to pull down the large
lamp which hangs over the pool table,, for
the bottom of this lamp was pulled of anu
the oil ran all over the table. The cloth on
the table was burned and the frame was
badly damaged. TIL ceiling Is low, and all
along above the table. tn ceiling was bis
tered. The oil on the cloth caused it to
blaze up high, and it is a wonder that the
fire was not seen from tho street by a pc.
licemhn or some citizen. The saloon is To-
Gated in the very center of the business por-
ton. Three dollars was taken from the
money drawer, and the thief also. helped
himself to what liquor and cigars he
wanted. The contents of the room were
more OF less damaged by smoke. The build

PETERS Anti whisky Bil
Senator Peffor is classed as n prohibit
Zionist since the Introduction OF n bill n
few days ago prohibiting, after July |
next, the sale of spurious, vinous,
malt, or other Intoxicating liquors, or
any fluid mixture OF any character or
description which produces intoXication
on the grounds or within the boundaries
OF any United States military post or
military reservation or national soldiers
home, except for medical purposes ON
the prescription of n post surgeon, or
for mechanical or scientific purposes"
etc. Any willful violation Of this law is
TO be declared as a felony and SO pun
ished, says the New York Tribune.
This mcans the discontinuance of the
sale of beer, the only one of the bever-
ages specifically classed that is now sold
at the post exchanges, except that elixir
Of Calisaya, malt extract n Florida
water may be included. But as the bill
does not prohibit the purchase of those
"luid mixtures outsiue of the

is introduced simply in the interest of
the licensed dealers outside, who have
frequently complained That they have
lost their business, and that the soldier
drinks less, gets it cheaper and docs not
get drunk so quickly as he used to. The
passage of the bill would probably re-
suit in the soldier going further for his
liquor n faring worse, for the officers
at every post have testified that the
discipline of the soldier is improved,
that there are fewer ~drunkards, and
that the soldier has more money to his
credit than before the post exchanges
were established.
Blood Thicker Than water.
In the course of the battle of Kcnesaw
mountain, says Blue and Gray for De-
cembcr, there occurred a pathetic Incl
dent, showing that blood is thicker
than water" At one place on the
mountain the dry leaves and brush
began to burn, and the creeping flames
encircled many a poor fellow lying help
less and in agony On the ground. The
confederates at that portion of the line
were ordered to cease firing; and hen
one of their officers called to the federals
and offered to suspend hostilities long
enough to allow the removal of the dis
abled. While the union soldiers bore
their comrades to the rear, the con-
fcderates looked on with sympathetic
pleasure, and then the fighting was
again renewed.

Prof. Donders Of Utrecht has made
some interesting experiments in regard
to tho rapldity of thought. BY means
of two instruments, which he calls the

results, His experiments show that it
takes the brain ,067 Of a second to eIabor-

this, Prot. DJndors says: ''Doubtless the
time required for the brain to act
is not the same in all indi-
viduals. | believe, however, that my
instruments may be perfected until We
will be able to determine the mental
caliber of our friends without our friends
