PROHIBITS ABSINTHE
French Law Makers Struggle
With the Liquor Question.
Proposition to Have a State
Monopoly is Considered.
DANGEROUS DRINKS,
Absinthe Bitters and "Pick-Me-
Ups" to be Suppressed.
The Bill Will Probably Pass the
Senate.

NEW YORK, July 8.-A special to the
World from Paris says: The regulation
of the liquor traffic is the burning ques-
ton of the hour. The parliament has
been discussing for weeks proposition
to establish a state monopoly in alcohol
and to exempt from the present taxes
such hygienic drinks as wine, beer and
cider
The chamber of deputies had excepted
both in spite of the position of the gov
eminent and of the distillers, but bill
embodying the second proposition
seemed to be in a fair way to be
defeated owing to the ministry's
objections, when after the closing debate
to the surprise of everybody a bill
abolishing the tax on drinks containing
less than fifteen per cent of alcohol
passed by large majority.
The measure doubles the alcohol tax
in order to balance the budget until the
organization of monopoly. An amend
ment was unanimously carried to pro-
hibit the manufacture or sale of spirits
or liquors declared by the academy of
medicine to be dangerous. This pro-
vision involves the suppression of alb
sinthe bitters, ''pick-me- ups" and many
kinds of liquors
The bill probably will pass the senate
with slight notifications.

THE MEDICINE HABIT.
It Is Becoming AIarmingly Prevalent All
Over the Country.

It Is Becoming AIarmingly Prevalent All
Over the Country.
The habit of taking medicine for
every ache, pain or uncomfortable feel.
ing is becoming alarmingly prevalent,
and very bad habit it is. There are
ready-made medicines warranted tc
cure anything and everything, and
they are advertised in such way as to
attract attention of every nervous and
chronic invalid in the land. These
read the symptoms to which these cure
alls apply and then invest in them.
There are thousands of barrels OF
stuff drank every month, and tons OF
pills and powders taken by those who
are ashamed or too stingy to consult a
physician. If they happen to recover
from their headaches, tired feelings or
other discomforts, they credit it to the
medicine. If not they go straightway
and get some of another kind. Thus
the dosing goes on, but the general
health does not improve. In fact, we are
becoming more and more nation OF
medicine takers. If the craze continues
we will soon need a cure for the medi-
cine habit as badly as for the liquor

GOOD HORSES IN DEMAND.
Sellers of q Year Ago Are Now Purchase
ing-Fair Prices Paid.

Sellers of Year Ago Are Now Purchase
ing-Fair Prices Paid.
It has been generally believed that the
Introduction of electric cars, furnishing
rapid transit to all parts of the city
and suburbs, has had a depreciating eff
feet upon the price of horses, but the
facts do not bear out this assumption,
says the Philadelphia Times. Good
horses are in good demand and they
bring high prices. There is but little
demand for undesirable horses, GOOD
drivers are scarce. Nowadays nearly
all horses are sold at auction, compare
lively few being disposed of at private
sale. The scarcity of good horses at
present is explained by the fact that
dealers stopped breeding a year ago,
when the prices were low and there
was but little demand. This year II
is a noticeable fact that people are
now buying who were sellers last year.
The regular sales at the different sta
b1es are well attended. Yesterday
Herkness had list of eighty horses and
nearly all were disposed of at gooo
prices. There were some exceptions, but
on the good drivers, which were sold
on guarantee, the bidding was spirited,
indicating an active demand. Horses
that are up on their knuckles" or in
any way stiff are not considered desira-
BILE at these sales. Yesterday some
horses, which to man not a judge
would appear perfectly sound, sold as
low as 500. Others sold up to SIPS.
A handsome bay cob, very stylish,
nice stopper and a high hitcher'
brought $75 and was considered very
cheap, but his owner was going away
for the summer and was anxious to dis
pose of him. A bay horse, years old,
trained to drive single or double, ana
believed to trot in ESQ, was knocked
down for $3.50. A well-bred sorrel
mare, with a mark of 2:36, brought only
$57. so, while less stylish-looking brown
| horse, years old, and broke to single
or double harness, brought $1O2.5O, ana
a bay gelding, years old and a high
knee actor and front stopper, was SOLD
for 1914. These prices indicate the con-
dition of the market. Fancy breeding
does not count for 80 much as looks and
action. Horses that can step along at
a fair gait and are fearless of steam
or electric cars are the ones that are
most desired and they always BRING
good prices at public sale.

First Sentencing of q South Carolina
JOintist for Violating the Law.

First Sentencing of South Carolina
JOintist for Violating the Law.
COLUMBIA, S. c., July 8.-Judge Bush
anan, at Sumter, sentenced John H.
Bowen, liquor dealer of Charleston, S.
c., to pay fine of $500 and to hard la
Dor in the penitentiary for four months
for violating an injunction of the court
issued against him, restraining him from
selling liquor.
This is one of seven cases that were
transferred from Charleston county to
Sumter county for trial, as the Charles
ton county grand jury refused to bring
in true bills in any of the 1873 cases sub
United to it.
The proceeding under which Bowen
was tried is an entirely new one in the
laws of the state, and was passed to en-
able circuit judge to try a person for
the violation of the dispensary law with
out submitting the case to a jury. The
method is to issue an injunction against
person upon his first arrest, restraining
him from selling liquor, and upon sec
ond arrest to pass sentence upon him for
contempt of court

Cultivate the habit of breathing
through the nose and taking deep
breaths If this habit was universal,
there is little doubt that pulmonary af-
fectionS would be decreased ope-half.
An English physician calls attention to
this fact, that deep and forced respira-
tons will keep the entire body in glow
in the coolest weather, no matter how
thinly one may be clad. He was him
self half frozen to death one night and
began taking deep breaths and keeping
the air in his lungs as long as possible.
The result was that he was thoroughly
comfortable in few minutes The
deep respirations, he says, stimulate
the blood currents by direct muscular
exertion, and cause the entire system
to become pervaded with the rapidly
generated heat.

LIGHT GUNS IN FAVOR.

They VIII supersede the Heavy Ones in
NaVies
WASHINGTON, July 8.-Consul Mona
gan at Chemnits, Germany, has made d
report to the state department on armor
and projectiles for naval warfare in
which he says: E'Naval nations have be-
gun to think of abolishing heavy guns
for guns of lighter calibre and stronger
construction"
He says that experiments in steel
bound paper tubes are being talked OF,
but no tests have yet been made. Mr.
Monaghan says that the Germans are
very much interested in a new process
for hardening steel by means of gas. The
process is based on the fact that gas
under great heat deposits carbon in solid
form. The gas that strikes the retort
wells deposits part of its carbon on them
and Schneider uses this for cementing
steel armor plates.

change, Room ., Columbian Building.
Wheat opened with an easier feeling
on the regular board after there had been
considerable business done on thee urb
at u cent over Saturdays close. Weaker
cables and satisfactory reports from the
growing crops in Europe caused much
easier feeling on the opening. There
seemed to be an immense amount of long
wheat which was offered for sale in the
first half hour after that had been abb
soobed the market stiffened up to about
the opening price The bears then took
a hand and pressed the sale of short
wheat to such an extent with enormous
offering that the market was unable to
take it, causing sharp break towards
the close. Shipments only $4,000 for the
day, and smaller decrease in the visi-
bic supply than was expected, all these
influences caused holders of wheat to let
go of their holdings. We look for bet
ter market from this time on as the
wheat has passed into good strong hands
who will lend their influence for better
prices.
Corn ana oats has sympathized with
wheat all day. Good growing weather
in the corn belt and nothing but the
brightest crop prospects caused uneasi-
ness among holders of corn to such an
extent that they have been letting go of
their holdings for several days. but it
must not be forgotten that the stock of
old corn is very low and export demand
good. We look for better prices from
this time forward. Provisions steady,
with slight decline in sympathy with
grain.

NEW WAY TO SEND NEWS.

Operator Takes the Report From a Te1e-
phone Receiver Instead of SOunder.
MILWAUKEE,. July 8-The failure of
the telegraph wires between Milwaukee
and Chicago had the effect of quickly
developing a method of transmitting
press matter by wire that is new in the
west Typewriter operators with tele-
phone receivers at their ears were seated
in the newspaper offices at Milwaukee
aud the news was talked to them from
Chicago at the rate of eighty words a
minute.
The operator at Chicago experienced
the novelty of distinguishing plainly
over the wire instead of the accustomed
"Morse" of his own sounder, the click of
of the typewriters at Milwaukee, eighty
five miles away.

Sudden Extinction of a Family.

The johannesburg correspondent of
the Standard reports an extraordinary
series of fatalities at Warrenton, where
by a resident lost his whole family in the
space of a few minutes. Three children
left the house to go to their father, a
farmer, who was in the field near. The
three put their hands in a crevice of the
rocks to obtain birds eggs. In this crew
ice there was a deadly snake, which bit
all the three. Two of them died before
the third could get home to tell the
mother what had happened. The moth
er, frantic with grief, tried to lift the
third child on horse to gallop for help.
She pushed him too far; he fell over on
the other side, fracturing his skull, and
died instantly. The mother re-entered
the house and found fourth child had
fallen in the bath and been drowned.
The whole family died within one hour.

Mosquitoes and Flies Attack Man Who
Escaped Drowning.

Escaped Drowning.
Five young men who left the city in
q small sailboat for Greenwich had a
terrible experience, says a Salem On
~ telegram. One of them, George Tay-
lor, q years old, was drowned and an
other. William Warrington, saved him
self by swimming and then narrowly
escaped death from the bites of mos
quitoes and greenhead flies.
The five had secured work at straw
berry picking on farm at Greenwich
and expected to begin this morning.
They had reached Dunk's bar, above
Bayside, when they were struck by a
squau. Despite their best efforts their
boat was capsized and all were thrown
into the water. While their compan-
ions managed to reach the bottom of
the overturned boat Taylor and War
rington started to swim ashore. They
had reached within fifty yards of the
beach when Taylor called to Warning
ton for help. He had become exhausted
and his swimming was slow and meas
ured. Warrington turned about to
help his friend, but as he did so Taylor
sank beneath the surface and rose no
more. Nearly exhausted himself, War
rington turned shoreward again and by
great effort managed to reach it. He
fell in a faint amid the rank grass of
the salt marsh, where he was found
several hours later almost dead. He
had suffered untold torture from the
stings of ''greenheads" and mosquitoes,
which swarm in myriads about the salt
meadows. The rest of the party chung
to the upturned boat and were rescued
by passing vessel.

CAUGHT IN A TRAP.
Arrest of the Supposed Robbers of 8
Lancaster Music store.

Arrest of the Supposed Robbers of q
Lancaster Music store.
On Wednesday night the music store
of Kirk Johnson, on one of the principal
streets, was robbed of about $500 worth
of instruments, whose aggregate weight
and size was such that it puzzled the
police to know how they were taken
away, says a Lancaster, Pa, special.
On Friday part of the stolen goods were
found secreted under a tool house ana
last night the police set watch there,
resulting in the capture of Frank ana
Fred Bitner, brothers, aged, respective
ly 81 and II. The former is at pres
ent under Indictment for attempting to
bIackmail a prominent business man. In
Fred's pockets was found a quantity
of red pepper and a package of the
same was found in the store the morn
ing after the robbery. physician VINO
passed the store on the night 1t was
robbed saw man in it, who, when no
ticed that he was observed, picked up
a book and carelessly looked through it.
From his description he is believed to
be one of the Ruhle brothers, window
smashers and general crooks, of Phila-
delphia. who were intimate with the
Bitner boys, and who was but recently
released from the Eastern Penitentiary.
A little girl was playing jacks on
doorstep on Water street to-day, when
one of the jack-stones rolled under the
steps, She pushed it away, and beside
her jack-stones there lay two banjos
and a guitar. The police then began
an investigation, and commenced NOV
ing all the steps along that street. Two
squares away they were rewarded by
finding a $75 music box. The search Is
being continued, about $500 worth of in
struments having been so lar recovered.

AS to Renovating mattresses.

Mattresses are a source of vexation
to many housewives who cannot afford
to send them every year or two to the
upholsterer to be renovated. The
thrifty German woman, who never con-
siders any kind of homework too la
borious to be undertaken by herself or
daughters, empties the mattresses to be
cleaned; sees that every particle of the
hair filling is picked apart and shaken
free of dust. Then, after washing in
strong soap suds and rinsing in luke
warm water, the filing is squeezed
as dry as possible and then hung up to
dry in the sun and air in large bags
made of mosquito netting. In the
meantime the ticking has been washed
or a new one substituted, and she is
ready with her long, strong needle and
Irvine to sew together again as well as
any upholsterer.

NEGROES IN A BAD FIJI.
Those CO1onized in Durango, Mexico, Suf-
fer From Disease.


SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July 8.-Dr. Troll
niger, prominent physician of this city
who was detailed one month ago to visit
the negro colony at Tlahuililo, in the
state of Durango, Mexico. and investi-
gate the real situation of the negroes
who we're removed from Alabama and
Georgia last winter, has returned
He said there were 800 negroes in the
colony, walled in and closely guarded.
Fully fifty per cent are suffering from a
disease resembling malaria from which
large number have died. The doctor
says the colony company is developing
$4,000 acres of agricultural land and
working the negroes.
As the negroes are citizens of the
United States the attention of the depart
ment of state at Washington will be
called to the condition of affairs at the
colony and an official investigation re-
ouested,
