THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

ANcE SERMONS.
Dangers That Lurk In the Flowing powl
How Bright and Influential Men Have
Been Dragged Down by tho Demon
Drink-Supprcss the Traffic.


Commissioner OF Labor Carroll d.
Wright, has just forwarded to tho
President the results of his ivestiga-
tons. ordered by Congress, of the
Stun districts of New York, Pniladel-
phia, Baltimore and Chicago. Two
points have Il most important relation.
In the first he shows where saloons
thrive:
In the city of New York there was,
at the time of the investigation. Il
liquor saloon to every 300 persons, but
in the Stun district canvassed there
was II saloon TO every 100 persons.
In Phiialelphia, in the city at large,
there was n saloon to every SO
persons, but in tie slam district cans
vassed there was one such saloon to
every SOP persons. In Baltimore, in
the city at large, there was one saloon
to every 22S persons, but in the slum
district %canvassed there was one saloon
to every 100 persons. In Chicago, in
the city at large, there WAS one saloon
to every 212 persons, while i'll the dis
trict canvassed there was one saloon to
every l27 persons. In these caluca-
lations fractions have been dropped.
Farther along he a y OF "earnings:"
The earnings OF the people living in
the slum districts canvassed are quite
below the average of the people gem
orally and at large, but as there are no
data with which to make comparisons
OF average earnings the results OF this
investigation must practically stand
alone: vet from all that can be learned
from various sources the statement
made i. halinva1 IN 1,a cnrrn.t
From which the inference is plain
abolish the saloon and the poverty of
the slnm will disappear.

Ear.ly Cent Pieces.

The first American cent was struck
off and put in circulation ust 1OI years
ago, in 17Mf. Previous to that date
several pattern pieces hal been made,
but they were experiments only and
were never put in circulation. The So
called Washington cents, which exist
ed previous to the date above given,
were not issued by the Governments,
and were, therefore, only medals. The
cent of 1888 vas very similar to the
large copper cents of later date, with
the exception that the a of Liberty
was turned to the right, and the legend,
One Cent was incl. ed in a chain of
thirteen links.

CHICAGO. June I. George Newcomb,
Assistant Special Agent of the Western

mOrtally wounded on an incoming Grand
Trunk train last evening. His assailant
was supposed to be one of gang of conf

been swindling passengers on the Western
Indiana and Grand Trunk railroads.
Newcomb and a brother officer accosted
two men vino were acting suspiciously.
and one Of them shot him down without a

Special Agent James C. Maxwell of

confidence men. Newcomb says there
was a conspiracy between Maxwell, the
Chief passenger agent of the Grand Trunk,
and the confidence men to rob the passen-
gers, and he was shot because he would
not join the enterprise.
