THE DRINKING PROBLEM.

In recent address, after referring to the
fact that there are people who will drink to
excess IN spite OF every effort made by their
friends to restrain them, Dr.. T. D. Crothers
said that heredity, occupation, mentalityS
habits, training, education, etc., are factors
which are all considered in the study and
treatment OF an individual who Is victim Of
the drinking habit. In 100 drinking men
who drink to excess, f1fty-two have moderate
or excessive drinking parents and twenty
more have distinct history of drinking
grandparents. From sixty five to seventy.
five per cent. have, therefore, history Of
drinking ancestry. Then there are fifteen
more who acquire the drinking habit from
disease or injury. Then there is class OF
brain workers or those whose brains have re-
ceived great shock through grief or injury.
Seven or eight out Of hundred are men
whose environment Is such that they natur-
ally take to drink. The boy or young man
who goes to drink voluntarily IS probably
weak and irresolute. There Is uniformity
about the habits of drinking men which shows
that the habit Is disease. One hundred men
who are drinking men Will reach similar
stages at the same time, and the results In
each case will be practically the same.
Alcohol Is not stimuIant. It Is narcotic,
pure and simple. The new study Of psychol-
ogy in Germany and England, by actual e1-
periments upon temperate men, shows that
alcohol diminishes the brein action, sight
and hearing, affects muscular action, ,qutckens
the hearts action and reducesthe tempera-
ture. It also affects the memory; all Of
which have been approved by experiments
and show that alcohol Is paralizer, q
narcotic.

Ex-vice-President Stevenson, the Demo-
cratic member of the commission, though
generally known as an advocate OF bimetal-
nsm, was supporter Of Bryan and the Chi
cago platform. He and Senator Wolcott,
however. are said to be In accord on the
financial question.
General Charles J. Paine, who may be
termed the minority member, is a Republic
can and was Mckinley man. He Is one OF
the most prominent business men OF Massa-
chusetts, and Is said to be deep stud lent Of
the financial question. While he Is classed
as a supporter OF bimerallism based on inter-
national agreement, he Is regarded AS allied
with the gold-standard faction. He Is a
graduate Of Harvard, being member Of the
class Of '53.
It is a fact not generally known thar Gen.
eral Paine accompanied Senator Wolcott on
his European trip last fall and assisted him
in that work. It is believed that he went
abroad with Senator Wolcott with the under
standing that he was to be made member
OF the Commission.

A WET SPRING.
Crops Have Been Seriously Delayed by
Rains.

Cropss Have Been Seriously Delayed by
Rains.
The Weather Bureau, Washington. has re-
sumed publication OF its weather crop bulle-
tins. In review Of crop conditions during
the month OF March 1t says: Farming opera
tions have been retarded by wet weather In
the States OF the central valleys, and the sea-
son Is somewhat backward generally. Some
corn has been planted as far north as Ten
nessee and the southern portions OF Missouri
and Kansas. Farther south greater progress
has been made, planting In Texas and north
ern Louisiana being about completed, and
in Alabama, Mississippi and Texas the early
planted crop Is up.
"Cotton planting in Texas has progressed
favorably. and some has been planted IN
South Carolina, but In other States OF the
cotton belt practically no planting had been
done up to the close of the month. In Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Oklahoma
preparations for seeding are in progress.
"Winter wheat is reported winter-killed to
some extent In Missouri. Iowa, Illinois, In
diana and Wisconsin, and while the crop has
sustained injury in Ohio, the outlook In that
State Is reported as not discouraging. The
early sown In Kansas is excellent, and In
Oklahoma, Arkansas AMI Texas the crop is
reported as promising. In Michigan and In
diana the crop has been damaged by foods.
Spring wheat Is doing we'll in Kansas, and
preparations for increased acreage are In
progress In Iowa. In the Dakotas and Min
nesota preparations for seeding have not yet
begun"

A Mysterious New York Concern is Now in
Trouble.
The offices in New York City Of the E. s.

done an enormous business for some time
past, the customers being almost entirely

To play In the market as 1t saw ft for their
account. The company's mail Is said to have
been tremendous, letters containing from
$40, ,00O to 800, 900 being received each day.
A large Mt mber Of girls were constantly en-
ployed sending circulars through the mail,
pointing out the large profit that could be
made through this manner OF dealing.
Months ago a fraud order was Issued
against Dean i Co. The concern advertised
extensively in the newspapers, In which the
claim was made that they possessed inside
information on the proposed movement OF
stocks and inviting investors and spectators
to forward money for investment In fools
that were being formed to take advantage OF
the rise or fall In the price OF shares.
The offices of E. 8. Dean d Co. have been
besIeged ever since the company's exposure
by anxious investors. Some OF them came
from New jersey and far up New York State,
hoping to pct back some OF their money.
The deputy sheriff In charge OF the office

CHARTER ELECTIONS IN NEW JERSEY

The Democrats Make Gains in Several
Cities.
Charter elections were held In all the cities
OF New Jersey on Tuesday. Although con-
siderable interest was manifested, the vote
generally was light, but there was little
scratching.
In JERSEY City, Edward Hoos, Democrat.
was elected Mayor over J. Herbert Potts, Re-
publican. by majority Of at least 1000. The
Democrats also carried eight out OF the
twelve wards for Aldermen, and elected their
candidates for members OF the Street and
Water Board.
In Hoboken Mayor FagaE, Democrat, was
reelected by large majority, and the Coun-
ell will be, like the present one, strongly
Democratic.
Paterson, the home OF Vice-President
Hobart, went Democratic. John Hinchliffe,
Democrat. was elected Mayor.
In Newark there was a close contest for
members Of the Board Of Street and Water
Commissioners, Aldermen and Tho Board OF
Education. Van Duyne and Burkhardt, Re-
puhlicans, for Street and Water Commission
ers, won, while the Democrats elected
enough Aldermen to give them control Of the
Council.

Daniel Woolsey Voorhees, In appearance
was one Of the most striking figures In thu
Senate. He was familiarly known as "The
Tall Sycamore Of the Wabash" by reason Of
his large and magaifcently proportional
figure. As an orator he had few peers, and
commanded magnificent vocabulary. He
was born in Butler County, Ohio, September
26, 1927. and was only two months old wher
his parents moved to Fountain County, In
diana. His paternal ancestors came
from Holland, and we're among
the earliest settlers OF New Jersey
the original name being Van Voorhees,
Mr.. Voorhees's boyhood was spent on his par
ents' farm and in 1845 he entered college. the
Asbury University, In Greencastle. where
he graduated In 1849. Immediately after
leaving college he went into the law office
of Lane & Wilson, In Crawfordsville. Mr.:
Voorhees, was appointed to the United
States Senate in 1877 az Democrat to fill
the vacancy caused by the death OF Oli1 er P.
Morton. He was subsequently elected by
the Legislature for the full term ensuing, and
was reelected In 1885 and 1891. The capture
Of the Indiana Legislature by the Repub bli.
cans in 1896 prevented Mr.. Voorhees, re-eiec-
to the Senate to fourth term. His public
service terminated on March last. when he
was succeeded by Charles W. Fairbanks,
Republican.

STRONG DRINK AND HzREp11Y.

The hereditary consequences OF strong
drink are sometimes appalling. A specialist
In children's diseases, who has for twelve
years been carefully noting the difference be-
tween twelve families OF hard drinkers and
twelve families Of temperate ones, reports
that he found the twelve hard drinking fami-
lies produced In those years ffty-seven chill
dren, and the temperates sixty-one. OF the
drinkers twenty-five children died In the first
week OF life, as against six on the other side.
Among the children of the drinkers were five
who were idiots; five so stunted IN growth as
to be really dwarfs; five when older became
epileptics; one. q boy, had grave chorea,
ending in idiocy; five more were diseased
and deformed, and two Of the epileptics be-
came by inheritance drinkers. Ten only OF
the fifty-seven were normal In body and
mind. On the part Of the temperates, two
only showed inherited nervous affects; five
died in the first week OF weakness; while
four In later years OF childhood had durable
nervous diseases, and fifty were In every
way sound In body and mind.
