dress to the city council during an anti.
saloon fight that 500 women in Oakland
went to bed drunk every night. This state
ment has gone down in the history of Oak
land, and though Mrs. Johnson's admin
istration Of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union has passed she seems to
have left the mark of her ideas upon her
successors, and this may be the outcome
of her speech four years ago.
Mrs. L. J. KelloggLane, the president
of the new association, does not hold as
pronounced views about female drunken
ness as did Mrs. o. r. Johnson, but she
looks at it from medical as well as a
moral point of view. She holds to the
need of such an institute and explains the
need in this way, for she is practicing
physician: "Only physicians have any con-
ception of the strong hold the liquor habit
has, not only on the women OF the country
at large, but of our own city, and it is par
ticularly SO in the large cities. We know
how much drunkenness there is among
them, because of the great number who
require the services of a physician to put
them into proper condition after more or
less protracted spree.
1T has been my experience that drink
ing women are much more prone to have
regular periodical sprees than men. Some
men will go on a spree every three or six
months, but there are many women who
must have their sprees every month. But
they are more sensible than men, for in
stead of carousing around the streets at all
hours of the day and night they shut them
selves in their own homes, and no one out
side of the family physician and the i'm
mediate members of the household knows
anything about it. But the women also
get quite as drunk as the men, and they
remain in that condition until their appe-
tite for liquor is properly satisfied. Then
they commence the harder task of getting
sober, just as the men do.
1.-The saloons and restaurants with pri-
vate entrances an private rooms are very
tempting places for the drinking woman.
While out shopping it is no trouble or even
risk to her to enter private room and
drink all she may wish Besides those
who drink to excess there are those who
just tipple, and the number is legion.
They feel that they must have their brandy
and soda in the morning and their toddy
at night, besides drinks of various kinds
during the day and evening. This deplor
able matter has forced itself upon larger
number of thinking women who have be-
come earnest in q mutual desire to mini
mize drunkenness among women.
There are many drink cure establish
ments in the state and country, but do
not know of one that is devoted to the
treatment of women. There are many
women who would like to be cured, but
| who do not like to go where men are treat
ed. Recognizing this, we have determined
to found remedial institute to meet this
demand and to be used for the cure of
women only" The cocaine and morphine
| habits will be treated also, and here again,
says DIR. Lane, are habits more frequent
| among women than among men

How Some Lazy Fellows Gamble

"Rain gambling is the latest vice to
develop in India, and the police of Bonn
bay and Calcutta are just now vigor-
ously at work prosecuting rain gamblers
in the local courts in an endeavor to
show that the law includes this form of
gambling In Calcutta the ''outfit" of
the rain gamblers is in street in the
burrabazaar. Here into a small tank,
four feet square and six inches deep, an
ordinary spout discharges rain water
from the roof of a three story building
In gambling with this apparatus bets
are made at the beginning Of the rainy
season as to whether or not the tank
will overflow at a given shower; to the
extent the rain will overflow it when the
water sheets come down in proper tropi-
cal style. 1t is alleged that on busy
days in the bazaar several lakhs of ru-
PEGS change hands. This is surely vice
made easy for the lazy manufacturing

A Pretty Lively Scene,

John Lucas and the late Archbishop
Wood were warm personal friends. 1t hap
pened that the two were journeying to At
lantic City together, and various expert
ences were told by each. "Once," said tho
archbishop, II referred to one of Philadel
phia's most charitable women a sad case
of restitution arising from the sudden
death of poor man who had left his fam
lily penniless. The lady felt it her duty 70
visit the stricken home. She found the
body laid out for burial and the widow
weeping beside it. After leaving a sum a
money she departed, but discovered that
her veil was forgotten. Returning she
found the body sitting upright in chair
joking and laughing with his family. I
was always very cautious" concluded the
archbishop, ''in recommending charity foa
destitute widows after that. "-Philadel

which about %, 600 punches of smaller
size, averaging 200 bananas each (Which
are termed halves) still remain uncut,

LOCALIZED ROBBERY.

In "Our Dumb Animals" Geo. T.
Angel writes as follows on the low
price of wheat:
In conservative evening paper of Sept.
l4th it is intimated that there seems to be a
conspiracy to compel farmers to sell thei r
wheat at almost ruinous prices and then to
make millions of dollars by compelling con-
sumers to buy at an enormous advance.
Out of such legalized robbery in articles
of food and other necessities of life have
been ubuilt up immense fortunes in this
country.
Is there any remedy? Yes-let every State
enact laws making it crime punishable by
not less than a years Imprisonment at hard
labor, which hard labor shall be to worl
eight or ten hours each day carrying bricl
from one end of the prison yard to another
and then carrying them back again.

but of all those submitted the design

the capitol is ever built it should be
constructed of Minnesota material, so
far as possible, and it appears that
Minnesota has sufficient material of
all kinds to construct the same.
