One of Them Is Fortified by Scientific
Writer.
ANY excuse is better than none. There
is a story, which is not in Joe Miller, of
three men entering tavern and calling
for brandy, the first because he was hot,
the second because he was cold and the
third because he liked it. The excuse
given frankly by the last is probably bet
ter one than the others. AT any rate, it

tions, the public approval of a scientific

does not discourage total abstinence while
defending the moderate drinker.
Healthy life is possible without alcohol,
and not impossible with it; for it is, we
are told, useful food and an agreeable
stimulant, or narcotic poison, according
to the dose in which it is taken or the
susceptibilities of the individuals to whom
it is administered. In plain words, the
moderate use of alcoholic spirits will do
you no harm if it agrees with you, while
reckless indulgence can do nothing, but
i'll. 1t is pretty much the same with most
things.

Revival of the Power of the Pressp for the

This will be the second San Francisco

Quoted press. The hero, Stephen Carson,
is falsely accused of crime, and through
a chain of circumstantial evidence is sent
to Sing Sing for five years. On the expira-
ton of his sentence he returns to his home
and family. On account of the STAIN that
rests upon his name, however, he is I'M
able to secure any employment. 1t re-

Last week a number of the performers
gained the appreciation of the public, in
Guiding Barlow, the English rider; the
four acrobats, the Rosarios and Cora Beck
with, the champion lady swimmer. The
Neapolitan quartet did their best to trans
port the hearers to Venice by singing
barcarolles as they f1oated round the arena
in decorated float, more gorgeous than
any the law permits in Venice. BY the
way, the rush of water which fills the
arena previous to the carnival would be
more effective if the lights in the rest of
the building were less brilliant.
The novelties for the present week at the
water carnival include a grand Cleopatra

The Belt Line Horses.

70 the Editor of The Evening Star:
May / ask that The Star. which seems
to have the welfare of men and animals
at heart, call attention and suggest a
remedy for a great evil which exists in
our midst?
The horses on the Belt Line railroad, in
the capital of our country. are q disgrace
to civilization. 1t is rare to see single
horse in condition to make the trip required
of it. much less to drag the crowded
cars up those long hills, at speed
sometimes trying to a horse In good con-
dition. They are beaten at almost every
step. and generally are quite lame Can
nothing be done to force the company to
put decent horses on the road? Is the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty utterly
powerless to prevent this constant brutal
ity? The outcry about "vivisection" seems
to me to be much less important than this
suffering to the large number of horses In
the daily use Of that road.
