leg ana ohalrs in the struggle tor preoe-

{ dence.
 ssOh, father fatherl'' mourned his daughter, but in the next moment she was foored by blow between the eyes and kicked savagely till her shrieks were echoed by the women who had huddled together at the head of the stairs. Only then Mrs. King, fearing the loss of an- other child, threw up window and yelled for help. Policeman Haggerty of the West Twentieth street station rushed to the rescue and caught King just as he was going to brain Alice with the leg of a ! broken chair.
 After desperate struggle the officer overpowered the brute and contrived to drag him to the station house; but the next day Justice Simms, of the Jefferson Market court, released the unspeakable baboon to 'tgive him a chance to attend his daughters funeral" and in considera- tion of the fact that the prisoners bar room friends had persuaded his wife to withdraw her complaint. Neither his wife nor his daughter would go to court; and perhaps they were right. It was enough for them to know that their darling had effected her escape from 8 land of licensed poisons, and would no longer care who shared the spoils of vice, or how many hirelings competed for rumseller's bribe by palliating the bestialities of intoxica- tion..
 "EXHILARATING EFFCTs."
 On the same day when Robert King broke the coffin of his daughter and kick ed her remains across the floor, number of Chicago mechanics assembled at the home of William Condon, No. 49O6 Jus tine street, to celebrate his birthday with keg of beer. As the contents of the keg ebbed, the spirit of controversy rose higher and higher, till Richard Burke thought it his duty to reprove political heresy by pulling dirk knife and shak- ing it under the nose of his host. Con- don, however repeated his assertion, and his guest then ripped out the bowels of his unrepenting friend, who died before the appalled, neighbors could summon a physician. Yet neither Condon nor his visitors had indulged in anything stronger than lager beer, that delightful beverage, which, according to the sworn statement of 8 committee of its manufacturers, may "exhilarate but never produce the charac- teristic effects of intOxicatiOn.
 THE DINGEss GRAVEYARD.
 The lawlessness of the western alcohol towns is frequently ascribed to the abnor- nal social conditions of a new settlement, and it is interesting to note the effects of open rumshops on formerly law-abiding community like the village of Dingess, in the mountains of West Virginia. The county (Mingo) has enforced prohibition for years, and given the circuit court lit tie trouble, but the completion of the Norfolk & Western Railroad evolved a number of little mining towns that deied the laws, open bars being tolerated "for the encouragement of industry"-and a few other things, to judge from the fol- lowing report: "Winfeld, W. Va, April 90, 1895. There may be worse places in the United States than Dingess, in Mingo county, but they are not known here. Ever since the Dingess tavern keepers have increased till now life in the little mining town has become almost upbear- able. On payday hundreds of men get drunk, and for hours the streets are filled with drunken, fighting men, who frequent ly fire their revolvers in all directions. On the north side of the hill above town is graveyard in which nine men recently killed in this reckless manner lie dead. A half score more are buried elsewhere, and the number of wounded must aggre- gate one hundred" The press correspond ent mildly adds that the place ought to be incorporated with a view of mitigating that remarkable state of affairs.
