DR.. GEO. S. BROWN
Gives An Interesting Lecture On the
Mental and Physical Effects
of Alcoholism"

DR.. Geo. s. Brown leetured In the rooms
of the Commercial club last night on tho
subject: "The Mental and Physical Eff
fects of Alcoholism" its natural history.
etc. He took the position that alcoholism
is a disease with mental and physical
characteristics, and its treatment lies in
the proper diffusion of knowledge of its
characteristics; less of the diseased con-
ditions of the body than of the mind.
Drinkers are drinkers in the beginning
through ignorance alone. Physical
changes wrought by alcohol cannot be
cured. The principal treatment is pre-
Vention by educating the young. Ex-
treme cases of alcoholism cannot be
cured, just as any other advanced ma
lignant disease cannot be cured. Unedu-
Gated men fall into the habit of drinking
because the bar room is their only place
of recreation, and recreation Is abso-
lutely essential to mans existence. Men
in the better walks of life drink because
they are uneducated in the insidious
changes which drinking brings, and also
because 1t Is long established custom.
Whether they are overcome by 1t or not
is a matter, first, dependent upon heredi-
tary appetites, and upon their religious
and social and business training and
standing He thought that lay teachers
of total abstinence should confine them
selves to the moral aspects of the sub
Ject, leaving the treatment, and indeed
the popular educational prophylaXis with
the domain of scientific medicine.
The lecture was under the auspices of
the w. c. II. u and was very able pre-
Sentation of the subject,

HEAVY RAINFALL.

Yesterday morning about II o'clock the
rain which had been threa tening all week
descended in torrents, accompanied by
q severe wind from the northwest. The

And George Johnson, Colored, Is Now in
the City Prison.
George Johnson, colored, was seen on
First avenue yesterday morning with
an immense red steer, whose estimated
weight was given by those capable Of
Judging as !, 100 pounds. The value of the
steer for beef would nominally amount
to not less than 500, and Johnson was en-
deavoring to dispose of him for $11. This
being the fact officers Bodeker and Dun
can arrested the negro on suspicion and
took him and the steer to headquarters.
That the officers acted wisely was
shown later when S. H. Burford, of Mary
Lee. entered the city and identified the
steer as his property. The charge against
johnson was changed to grand larceny
and he will have hearing this morning.
The steer was stolen at an early hour

Mr.. Thos. A. Bell, of the well known firm
of Malone & Bell, had decided to become
a candidate for the important position
of postmaster of this CITY,
Mr.. Bell has been a resident of this city
for about ten years and no man stands
higher in business circles or enjoys
better reputation morally. The business
sagacity shown by the firm of which Mr..
Bell is a partner demonstrates the ca
pacity of the man. 1t was through the
efforts of this firm that over a quarter of
a million dollars sought and obtained in
vestment here, giving thereby employ
ment to several hundred persons.
The friends of Mr.. Bell will leave no
stone unturned to secure the place for
him,

sought to Guido all former efforts in this
particular direction, both in scenery and
costumes The company that will be
seen in support is probably the best Mr..

LILLIAN RUSSELL IN A NEW OPERA

Lillian Russell, the most popular diva
on the American stage, is coming here on
Tuesday, Nov. II, and will present the
latest comic opera, or, as her managers
prefer to call it, lyrical novelty entitled
IAN American Beauty" The title is
most appropriate, for Lillian Russell Ia
the type par excellence of native beau
ty.
The book is by Hugh Morton. and the
music by Gustave Kerker. Both these
gentlemen have demonstrated their high
abilities in the collaboration of light,
breezy productions, they having been the
authors of several New York Casino sue
cesses, so we may be justified in looking
for something uncommonly good in
american Beauty" and Drumming over
with wit and catchy melodies. Messrs.
Canary & Lederer, Miss Russelps man
ayers have put forth every effort to sur
round her with the best company she ever
had. and have mounted the opera mag
nificently Novelties In costumes and
situations will be seen. and undoubtedly

AT O'BRIEN'S.

One of the finest productions of its
kind for the season was that of Hoyt's
"A Milk White Flag" presented by an
unusually large and well balanced COM
pany last night. Every seat in O'Briens
was occupied. despite the fact that adj
yanced prices prevailed. The flag is
what might be termed a military musi-
cal farce comedy. This title would, per-
haps, best cover the presentation.
The leading feature of the performance
was the Ransom Guards, composed of
titles, pretty women, guady uniforms,
splendid band and female drum corps.
The plot is well defined and around 1t Is
built a fine comedy, interspersed
with delightfully."- entertaining spe-
clalties, such as singing, dancing and
whistling solo by Harry Giltoil, who, to
use the expression of a spectator, would
shame a hooking bird"
The actors are all clever and 1t would
be an injustice to give favorable men,
ton one without referring to all. The
men are manly and the women cookbook
ing; the costumes are elegant and the
stage settings as pretty as could be de-
sired. Suffice it to say that. Manager
Whelan, of the opera house, received
many praises for the delicacy offered last
night.
