ENEMY OF THE POOR MAN.
A Billion OF Dollars Spent Every Year In
the Saloon.

The saloon is the great and unrivaled
barrier that impedes the poor mans
progress to independence and plenty.
Into the Golfers of the American saloon
the wage-earners of the country gener-
ously pour billion of dollars a year.
American opportunities are wasted be-
cause of the maddening curse of drink.
Destitution aud want in this country,
in the vast majority of instances, are
the result of prof cate patronage Of
the saloon-keeper's business. If SO
many of the toilers of the land simply
camp in the wilderness of great tene-
ment structures and drag out their
lives in hopeless poverty, the lamenta-
BILE fact is, to an alarming extent, the
result of paying too generous tribute
to the liquor-sellers trade. Address

THE CANDLE MOTOR.


Genuine Amusement.
A novel kind of motor is illustrated
in the accompanying cut. It's worked
neither by steam, electricity nor COM
pressed air; it requires neither boiler,
nor cylinder, nor piston, and consists
solely of a simple candle. A motor like
this is easily made.
Stick two pins heated over a lamp
through candle at opposite middle
points, vertically to the wick. These
pins will be the axis of our motor, and
you must set their eXtremities on the
edges of two glasses.
Now light both ends of the candle,
which will burn furiously. Presently a
drop of the wax or sperm falls into one
of the plates set beneath to receive it.
The equilibrium of the balance shaft
being thus destroyed, the other end of
the candle falls downward, causing the
end which has lost the first drop of wax
to go up. But in it's downward move
ment the falling end loses several drops.
and therefore in turn becomes lighter
than the other and rises again. In this
way an oscillatory movement is begun,
weak at first, but gradually growing
wider and wider until the candle finally
assumes almost vertical position.
To utilize this movement of the candle
fasten to it's axis by means of pins long

According to NJ. Chervin, in a paper
to the Societe d'Anthropologie, the low
birth rate in France is largely due to
prodigality in Paris and theft in the

annual consumption of alcohol having
enormously increased of late years in

A BURDEN OR A BLESSING?

The millionaire New York merchant,
Charles Broadway Rouse, is Of the opin-
ion that II some means were devised by
which the rich man could be assured Of
the proper disposition of his gifts the
amount expended In charity would be
doubled by public-spirited citizens Of New
York. He says 1t Is a mistaken idea that
the man of wealth Is exempt from the
anxieties, cares, trials and tribulations to
which one Of the persons of limited means
are subjected; that life to him Is an un-
ceasing round of pleasure: that no obi
cations rest upon him except by his own
volition. and that his sole mission in life
Is to distribute his possessions among those
who allege a necessity for them. If this
estimate of the rich man were correct
how enviable would be his condition; what
avenues of uninterrupted enjoyment
would be opened to him. and how free he
would be to dispose of time and money
as his tastes and inclinations prompted
In point of fact, however. the rich man In
some respects, Is more to be commiser-
ated than envied. He is the prey of that
horde OF 'harpies who toll not yet who
claim that the world owes them living.
These begars are the constant, untiring
and unscrupulous destroyers Of the rich
mans peace and comfort. They exhaust
human ingenuity In devising schemes to
deplete his purse. They make specious
and moving appeals to the softer elements
Of his nature. They draw such piteous
pictures, Of suffering and want as to in
duce mistaken and undeserved charity.
They are pertinacious in their demands
and importune him at all hours of the day
and night. They are devoid Of all sense
Of delicacy and decency. and do not hesi-
tate to violate the sanctitiy Of his home
circle. In the multiplicity Of appeals
made to him the rich man is liable to err
rors Of judgment In responding In his
desire to assist the deserving he some-
times unwittingly gives to the unworthy
and these charitable mistakes always urge
the latter to more active executions in
their pursuit of prey. The rich man has
delicate and difficult role in his life, and
suffering from the perplexities that al
ways surround him. Is 1t to be wondered
at that he Is In doubt at times whether
his wealth Is burden or a blessing?

From the Florida Citizen.

from the tlOrlua CluZen.
The world Is demanding sober men in
all lines of life. Some of the secret orders
will not admit drinking men or bartend-
ers into their ranks. Insurance compa-
nies will not take risks on men who drink
to excess. Express companies and other
corporations employing men in RESPONSE
BILE positions carefully exclude from thar
lists those who habitually drink. The
same precautions are exercised in all
branches of private business, and no man
who has reputation as a drinker can
easily secure employment of any kind.
But in some instances the voters of the
country give evidence that they do not
regard sobriety as an essential in public
life. They elect to important offices men
who would not be admitted to any of the
great secret orders and who would not be
given a responsible position in any re-
spectacle mercantile house. II cool, clear
heads are essential to effective service in
all branches Of commerce, manufacture
and transportation. they are quite as
much SO to the comprehension Of the intri-
cate science of government, and the peo-
pie as political body should demand So
briefly on the part of their officiol servants
Until they shall do this they need not ex.
pect to receive efficient service In their
government ahairs.

NEW YORK, Dec. "a dispatch
to the Herald from Havana says:
Alvarez, the Venezuelan general
who, with four companions, was
captured recently at Aquadores,
near Santiago de Cuba, has been
examined by the Spanish authori-
ties and has confessed that he and
his fellow prisoners were filibus-
ters. They were part Of the Car
rilo expedition, Alvaro said, which,
he added, came from Florida Keys
on the Danish steamer Horsa. The
party comprised forty-two men
who intended to disem bark at Cape
Maysi. There, however, they
sighted Spanish warship and
changed their course. A landing
was finally effected between Sigua
and Santiago. The heavy arms
were not put ashore because Of the
haste in which the mbarkation
was made. The boat in which the
prisoners were when captured, AL

Barry Is Out of the Ring.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-The injury to
Jimmy Barry's hand, received In
the fight against "Kid" Madden
at New York a few weeks ago, is
of so serious nature that the lit
tie champion will probably not be
able ever to go into the ring again.
The injury was painful one, but
no such serious result was anti
cipated. However, i'm healing, the
bone has gradually protruded I'M
til now it appears that it will be
utterly out of the question for Bar
ry ever to use the injured member
in another battle. The best sur
glcal skill was secured but to no
purpose. One of the fingers sticks
up in such away as to make it out
of the question to use the hand in
boxing, whether with gloves or
without. Jimmy Barry was un-
doubtedly the best fighter OF his
weight in the world. From the
time that he really entered the
ring as professional he never en-
countered boxer who ever came
near him.

BOXING CONTESTS ON DECK.

The Most Important Comes Off To-
night on Long Island.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Tonights
fifteen-round glove contest be-
tween Joe Wolcot, of Boston, and
Geo. Lavigne, of Saginaw, Mich,
which will be contested in the club
house Of the Empire Athletic club,
Maspeth, l.. l., will decide that
much-disputed question as to
whom belongs the title OF light
weight championship OF America.
The contestants have had a
months active training, and re-
port themselves in the best Of
physical condition. Each boxer
has met and defeated the best men
in and out of his class.
The majority seem to favor the
colored boxer, while more than a
few have a liking for Lsvigne's
chances. One thing is quite evil
dent, and that is, that the men are
as evenly matched as they could
possibly bo. This is shown by the
small amount of speculation that
has been carried on among those
who generally dabble extensively
in boxing matches. Walcott, in
all his previous battles has been a
big favorite. Even when he met
"mysterious" Billy Smith, Joe had
the calling in the betting. The
principal reason given for Walcot
not being bigger favorite in this
contest, is said to be due to the
weight question. The boxer only
decided to take off six pounds when
he started in to do his work, and IL
is claimed he found no trouble in
taking off that much flesh. There
will be a preliminary battle be-
tween Solly Smith and Jerry Mar
shall.
There will be some good sport at
the New Manhattan Athletic club
on Thursday night, when Frank
Erne, of Buffalo, meets Geo. Dixon
in a ten-rouud bout. Erne will
arrive here today, and will finish
training at an uptown club house,
under the watchful eye OF Mike
Donovan, boxing instructor Of the
New York Athletic club.
The eight-round bout to be de-
cided the same night between

who was brought out by Jack
Dempsey and Harry Fisher, OF
Brooklyn, is expected to be an in
