Causes of Intemperance.

/ think that temperance reformers
would do we'll to consider more than
they do the causes that lead to the
drinking habit and endeavor if pos
sible to combat these. Instead of
this they trust to lectures and the
closing of public houses and all such
nonsense. There are in my village
of about 1000 inhabitants at least IL
inns. Now, l believe that if all were
closed but one drinking would go on
just the same, and that one single
~innkeeper would make his fortune.
1t is a curious thing to say perhaps,
but it is true that some men are
born a glass too low. Their nerves
are finely strung; they are easily
raised to joy and easily cast down.
These men or women are very apt
to become drunkards. This is the
reason that SC many geniuses go to
the bad. Ill health is another cause
OF intemperance, tiredness and ia
tigue, dyspepsia, too jolly company,
billiards and card playing. Oh, if
space permitted I could name a score
more, but last, though not least.

IN A HOSPITAL WARD.
1t Is Pleasanter to BE One of Many Than
In Solitude.


A Wall street broker who had
spent six weeks in a big city hospi-
tai said: Il have been in the hospi-
tai three times, and this visit was
the shortest and least tedious of any
of them. The fact is | found that ]
could not get a private room, as ]
had i'll previous years, and so l had
to 60 into Il common ward, although
the idea vas very repugnant to me.
Il don't sec how a man accustom-
cd to the soft side of everything, as
you are, would stand being in a COM
MOI hospital ward for six weeks, :"
interrupted II of his listeners.
The broker, who looked so sleek
and prosperous and well fed that it
was difficult to imagine him in a
hospital ward and on the same level
as a charity patient, said: Il can
tell you, however, that | learned one
thing this "trip that | never knew
befOre-that it is much easier to get
well III Il ward, where you're one
of two dozen patients, than in a pr,
vato room, where you're all alone
and have nothing to distract yolr
thoughts from your own hurts. It's
surprising how SOC you learn to
take an interest in the people about
you, even if they are only bricklay-
ers or Italian laborers OF hack dri-
vers, and Of course the majority of
the patients belong to what we call
the lower classes of society. And

poor follows and listening to their
talk you T. often able to forget
yourself and your own broken leg
or cracked skull or whatever misfor-
tune may have befallen you.
For example, if you're in a private
room and happen to G a man Car
ried by your door on q stretcher
you're just crazy to know who he
is and how he got hurt, and it won't
do you any good to get your curiosi-
ty excited, because neither nurse 0
doctor O orderly will give you the
slightest information on the subject.
1t seems to be against the rules for
them to tell anything that they
know about the patients. But if
you're in a ward there are always
two Or three men to hobble out to
tho elevator mar and get the whole
story from him and then come back
and spread the tidings from bed to
bed. You've no idea how much bet.

keep track of all that's going on

Il suppose you We're glad to get

of the company.

plenty of men in my ward who

MOORE BROTHERS.
Subcommittee of the Governing
COMMITTEES Makes Report.

Subcommittee of the Governing
COMMITTEES Makes a Report.
CHICAGO. Aug. ga sub commit
tee of the governing committee of the
Chicago stock exchange, appointed to
investigate the affairs OF the Moore
Bros, the Diamond Match company,
and the New York Biscuit company,
filed its report this morning, and it
was accepted. No action was taken, and
the only business done by the govern
ing committee at its meeting held this
afternoon was the acceptance of the
report of the sub committee, and the
passing of a resolution authorizing the
members of the exchange to deliver
Diamond Match and Biscuit stock if
they saw fit There is no probability of
the exchange being opened again IN
til some time in the coming month.
The committee says that the affairs
Of Moore Bros. is in such a tangle that
they were unable to get any substantial
facts, but that from all that could be
learned the Moore Bros. have no Jangi-
BILE assets whatever.
In speaking Of the Match company,
the committee said:
THE books of the company are very
carefully kept, and from investigation
we are satisfied that the earning power
of the Diamond Match company is fully
represented by those in interest. The
fire at Ontonagon is not as serious as at
first reported. Its plant there con-
sisted of saw mills and box factories.
1t has $4S7, 900 insurance distributed in
236 companies. The fire will in no way
interfere with the production of
matches.
THE statement submitted Of the Bis
cult company shows a profit of $3,152,-
600 for the past five years. The bust
ness of his company is also said to be
we'll managed"
The committee reported that it had
been. unable to formulate a plan which
could be carried through looking to the
tTusteeing of the floating stock of the
two companies 1t has, however, not
despaired and asks more time in which
TO form the trust.
The committee finds that the Moores
received checks from the Match COM
pany aggregating 100000, and checks
from the Biscuit company aggregatlng
$3.50. 900 The former is under an ac-
count called u. K. Robinson, trustee
and the latter under the name of H.
J. Evans. trustee" These checks In
both instances, 1T is claimed, were is
sued by order of the executive commit
tee of the respective companies, but on
the records of neither corporation is
there any record of the directors hav-
ing passed any resolutions endorsing
the action of the executive committee,
and it is the opinion of the counsel
that neither the Match company nor
the Biscuit company can be held re
sponsible for the purchase OF stock for
which the checks iTTeg7ularay drawn
were used. The committee reported
also that the Moore Bros were backed
by a pool. all the members of which

Last spring the sportsman was talk

him bullet, battered by the force of

the natural dam as if someone had laid
it there. 1t was evident that the
wounded deer had fed and died back
in the woods. It's carcass had been
torn by wood creatures, It's bones
knawed by mice, and the bullet had
fallen on the rock, borne there by some
fox, perhaps, since 1t was a good table.

LONDON, Aug. 26.-A dispatch to local
news agency from Constantinople says:
Mobs are in possession of a large part of
Constantinople tonight. Early in the
afternoon body of men, armed with re-
volvers and bombs, invaded the Ottoman
bank, killing a number of gen d. armes
>on guard. The employees OF the bank
fled TO the quarters occupied by the to-
bacco syndicate which has control of
the collection of the taxes on tobacco
throughout the empire.
The invaders mounted the roof of the
building, and from the open windows
fired at the police in the streets below.
The police returned the fusilade, and
several persons were killed and wounded.
Then the riot beanie general. Shops were
sacked and easements raided and the
widest excitement prevailed throughout
certain quarters of Constantinople.
A later report says there is no doubt
but what the movement was revolutionary
in plan and scope; that it had its origin
at secret meetings of Armenians. About
forty of the rioters were still in possession
of the Ottoman bank at a late hour this
evening, despite all the efforts of the
government forces to remove them. Riots
continue and the mobS are constantly in
creasing in the Galatea quarter.
A bomb was exploded in Constantinople
near the GalateSeara guard house Many
soldiers were killed and wounded. Her
majesty's Dryad at once left the Rapia
where she was anchored and proceeded to
this city. 1t is also expected that the
French and Italian guardships will reach
Constantinople in the morning.

IDAHO CONVENTIONS.
Dubois and SEoup People Have a
Lively Time al Boise.
Especial to The Herald.>


BOISE, Aug. 26.-The Republican
state convention and silver silver con-
vention. the latter controlled by Sena-
tor Dubois and the former by Senator
Shoup, convened here today.
H. V. A. Ferguson of Pocatello was
made temporary and w. e. Boraf of
Boise permanent chairman of the sill
yer convention, while Judge W. B.
Hepburn of Osborn was made tempo
rary and James E. Babb of Lewiston
permanent chairman Of the Mckinley
convention.
Both conventions adjourned after
perfecting permanent organizations
There was some talk of harmonizing
the opposing factions, but tonight it is
known there is little likelihood of the
two getting together. The silverite
leaders are endeavoring to make a deal
with the Democrats. nominating Dem
ocrats for every place on the Demo-
crat-Popuhst fusion ticket hsad
by the Populists. There is,
it is said, according to- the
plan of the leaders, excepting in
the case of congressman, it being the
intention to re-nominate Congressman
Wilson. a Republican. A Populist
holds that place on the fusion ticket.
There is some opposition to the deal
with the Democrats among the silver
Republicans. and if the plan is car
ried out there will be bolt. In re-
turn for giving the Democrats this adj
vantage over the Populists, the Demo-
Gratis will support Dubois for re-elec-
ton.
