WHAT RUINS THE YOUNG?

Two good English poets have put
into verse terrible lists of the dis
eases that torment the body. In
paradise Lost" Raphael Mortified
Adam by a vision of the sicknesses
that should aff1ict his descendants;
and we remember that in his young
manhood Milton lived through the
Plaque. Thomas Gray, in his poem,
esOn a Distant Prospect of Elton
College," recalls the same grim list
OF diseases:
'This racks the joints, this fires the
veins;
That every laboring sinew strains
Those in our deeper vitals rage.
Lo, Poverty, to fill the bond,
That numbs the eoul with icy hand,
And slow-consuming AgeW
But neither of them gives list OF
the vices, the crimes that corrupt
society They could hardly antici-
pate the kind Of crimes which the
Lexow Committee proves to infest our
great cities, and which ruin so many
of our youths. We do not pretend
to give a catalogue of them; but we
may utter warning timely now and
timely ever against some of them.
Chief, always chief, Is the rum
habit cultivated in our saloons. The
saloon is the greatest evil in modern
civilization. If parents could keep
their children from contracting the
habit of INDUCING in Intoxicating
drinks they would put an end to half
the poverty and more than half the
crime of the country. They would
also shut up our criminal courts, and
our prisons would almost be empted.
The young man who begins moder-
ately is liable soon to drink immod-
erately, to ruin his character and his
prospects for life. He is in danger
of becoming disgrace to his family,
and a nuisance to the world. The
habit is the most foolish a young
man can contract. Absolute temper
ance should be the rule.
But most important of all should a
young man learn, by his own good
sense and strong will to keep him
self out Of temptation. For this
there is a good rule. Keep good
company. The company that will
support and strengthen good resolu-
tions. He will find this in the Chris
tisn church, in the Christian en-
deavor, in the societies and guilds
which help people to stand together
for good habits. Such habits, in
such company, are the best assur-
ance of success in business and in
life. Thus one enters on q life worth
living, one which develops into a
worthy and Influential and honored
middle and old age. The wrecks of
life do not come out of such COM
panionships.-The Independent.

FLYING HOMING BIRDS.
Leydecker's Carrier Pigeons Break
the Record On Long Flight.

A great homing race has been
arranged for July 4 between Ala
media and Portland, Or. T. w.
Leydecker and another gentleman
named Koenig are training their
pigeons, flying them from different
points in California to the lofts
across the bay.
Mr.. Leydecker is one of the
greatest enthusiasts in the sport on
the Coast, and he is very confident
of winning the race.
He has been speeding his birds
all along the Sacramento valley,
and recently in fly from Sissons
the carrier pigeons broke the record.
Nine birds were sent to Sissons and
were liberated by J. M. Schuyler
at 5:55 Sunday morning. Five
of the pigeons reached the loft at
10 AT a. NJ, two got home at 2 :45
in the afternoon and one reached
the coop on Monday morning with
all his tail feathers gone, and the
last bird has not yet reached home.
The time of the first lot of birds
was 4 hours 81 minutes, making
an average of 2037 yards or 1-5
miles a minute. The distance
from Sissons to San Francisco is
reckoned at 1913 miles, and Mr..
Leydecker estimates it at $50 miles
to Alameda.
"This is the best record ever
made ON the Coast" said Mr.. Ley
decker yesterday. SIN fact, it is
the best time ever made anywhere
to my knowledge. The distance
from Portland is 772 miles, and I
have sufficient faith in my birds to
think that they will break the rec
ord from that point. Next Sunday
I will fly the pigeons from Ashland,
Or, distance of All miles: The
race on the 4th of July will be I'M
der the rules of the Pacific Homing
Society"

Christopher q. Ritter, an Intelligent
German American citizen, who arrived I'm
Newark, o., nine months ago and has
since been doing landscape gardening, tells
the following story concerning the nssassi
nation Of Abraham Lincoln which took
place at Ford's theater, I'm Washington, 80
years ago:
"Today I am mt liberty To disclose facts
hitherto hinted at by newspaper writer's,
but strcnuously denied by historians. His
tory says that Boston Corbett shot j.
Wilkes Booth for Lincoln's assassination,
but say that Booth In today alive I'm Bra,
I'll, and that Il was Edward Fuchs who
was shot by Corbett. Fuchs was an actor
who bore striking resemblance 20 Booth,
and, In fact, know OF frequent instances
where he was mistaken for him.
"On the night Of tho tragedy went "a
a room I'm tho Pennsylvania hotel, and
soon after Booth came rushing I'm and OK
claimed, by CT broke my leg but God,
Mars and my south are rcvenged.'
Booth then told me no had killed the
president and ordered me 10 get some
horses for his escape. went To livery
stable near by, hired two horses, one OF
which turned over To Booth. Wo mount
away. At Jones secluded home we re.
maincd until tho 22d Of April, and while
there several Of Booths friends called. AL
len Pinkcrton also visited the place, and
IL was he who made me believe that was
equally guilty with Booth for having aided
him In escaping.
"It was then that he made mo take aI
oath that would not breathe word oi
Booths escape for 80 years, and, German
grecnhorn that was, unacquainted will
the laws and customs Of the United States
l swore to remain silent. 1 am man Oh
my word and have not told of Booths cs
cape until today, the 80 years having jus
expired.
''The last time heard from Booth wa.
In December but am confident he is yc
alive. l know to a certainty that Edwin
Booth frequently ycorresponded with him. ,

MANNED FRAUDS.
An Organized Garg Which Sues Railroads

An Organized Garg Which Sues Railroads
For Bogus Damages After Accidents.
John III. Lantz, helpless epilcptic, was
sentenced TO two years in the Columbus
penitentiary recently by Judge Kicks of
Ohio. He had pleaded guilty to the charge
of perjury.
Last year Lantz sued the Pennsylvania
Railroad company for injuries sustained in
the railroad accident at Shreve, o. When
the company was on the point of settling
an accident revealed the fact that Lantz
was not Oh the train at all, and he was
arrested.
Before he was sentenced he told the
judge that he desired to make confess
sion. He said his name was Abdon Launts-
baugh, not Lantz. A man called upon
him at his home shortly after the Shreve
wreck and unfolded to him plan Of
swindling the railroad company. Being
an epileptic, it would be an easy matter.
A young woman called the next day and
said she would swear she had seen him ON
the train, and there were many more ready
to swear to the same thing. He consented
and changed his name.
He was told there Is an organized gang
In the United States who watch for rail
road wrecks and sue for damages.
The leader of the gang has one finger
cut off, one burned hand, u cut upon his
forehead and claimed to have been the
plaintiff in actions against the railroad
companies great many times. He was
never near q wreck in his life.-New York

Color and Emotion.

it WAS not ny accident that violet was
chosen by many nations as the exclusive
color for mourning, and by us also for
half mourning. Painters suffering from
hysteria and ncurasthonia will bo in
clined TO cover their pictures uniformly
with the color most III accordance with
their condition OF laSsitudc and eXhaus-
ton. Thus originate the violet pictures
OF Manet and his school, which spring
from no actually observable aspect of
nature, but from subjective view duo
to conditions Of the nerves. When tho
entire surface Of walls in gallons and art
exhibitions Of the day appears yelled in
uniform half mourning this prediction
for violet is simply IN expression of the
nervous debility of the painter Con
densed From N0rdau Degeneration. ;"
