TOO GREAT A RISK,

No countenance should be given to the
compulsory Keely cure bill, which has been
introduced in Congress, at least in the pres
ent Stageoft the proceedings. While it would
be quite proper for the District to apply
curative treatment to persons habitualiy ad-
dicted to the use of intoxicants, it would
be Eanifestly wrong to subject them to a
method regarding the permanent benefits of
which grave doubts still exist in the minds of
persons best qualified to judge correctly.
Those who are i'll charge of establishments
where the kcely cure, so-cailei, is used i'll
the treatment ntofinebriates, have been found
unwilling To disclose the exact process. and
DR.. Wood ward, the health officer, is alto
gether right, therefore. in discountcnancics
an undertaking SO full of uncertainty as re-
CARDS the health and lives OF those made
subject to it.
An inebriatc asylum there ought to be in
the District. Such an institution is as
necessary to the safety OF the community
and of the individuals placed in its care
as is hospital for the insane. In both cases
the patient needs treatment for u disea sed
condition OF his physical and mental powers,
and in both also must lie be restrained in
order that he may not do harm to himself
or to others. Such confinement, no wever,
should not render him liable to be made a
subject for experimentation What is called
the Keely cure has been instrumental in
causing many people I" give up the drinking
of intoxicating liquors, though some People
are OF the opinion that after ali ii is the will
power of the person that has most TO do
with his letting strong drink alone. This
view OF the matter is sustained by the Cir
Cumstance that hundreds OF people dis
charged from Keely institutes have, after
while, relapsed into their old habits. Then,
too, instances are on record OF this treat
ncnt having had a detriment effect upon
the health of some persons, and there are a
fe y even more serious than this. In view
of all these facts. DR.. Woodward's hesita
ton to commit himself to the proposition
embraced in the House bill is quite rea-
sonable.

TREE GROWING IN A SHIP.
A Sturdy Young Oak Has Possession
of an Abandoned SlOop.
San Er-nn1 i,co Cali
San Francisco CaR.

A tree growing in an abandoned ship is
one Of the odd features of Suisun Bay, one
of California's many inland swamps, that
are dignified with high-sounding geograph-
ical names. The tree reac ches up from ten
To twenty feet above the deck of the sIoop,
while its roots are probably sunk In the
mud underneath.
What the name of the sloop was or the
length OF time it has been lying in its
present position are things past finding
out. When the vessel was in good shape
she was u craft of about forty feet in
length and eight feet beam. When aban-
doned she was hauled onto the mud at high
tide. and has since sunk SO deep as to
become immovable.
The place where the hull Is stuck is what
would be called good "tule land" as there
is a fine growth OF that reed In the vicinity.
The bottom of the boat has rotted a way,
and they have foxmed quite growth inside
the hull. large numbers of them poking
through the hatciies. A peculiar thing will
be noticed in the growth, and that is that
they grow stra ight up as stiff as bayonet.
instead of having the graceful sweep so
common under ordinary conditions.
How the tree came to grow in the boat
is mystery but most likely the seed blew
into the old hull from some of the trees on
the surrounding hilIsides. Close examina-
tion would be a difficult and disagreeable
matter. but seen from shore it appears to
be . specimen or live oak.
