that while much is being done to stop aduIteration of food, liquor is being sold in such form that it destroys the stomach and turns it into ulcers. J will overlook the point that the in quirer spells liquor in the free and easy fashion thus, flicker" and answer frankly that I don't know. I did not even know that this awful thing was being done. If any saloon keeper has played such trick on M. A. D. he can not be blamed for feeling just as he does about 1t. Still, there Is a remedy. Mad can change his drinks. Or If his stomach has been fooled to the point of alteration he can have that organ shipped out with a surgical pruning knife, and thus have a joke on the wicked purveyor of stimulants. With no stomach to be destroyed nor to har- bor ulcers, he could swallow anything short of burning birthstone and laugh at the dispenser thereof, particularly if he had told him to put it on the slate"

ITALIAN MISSION"

To the Editor of The Call-Sir: Under this heading there appeared in your paper of Friday, Jan. [, an article which was calculated to mislead. The burden of the article was that it was intended to estab- fish an Italian mission in connection with St. Peters Protestant Episcopal Church, on the corner of Stockton and Hilbert streets.
 While 1t Is true that the matter has been talked of at various times. it is en- tirely untrue that any definite plans are now being formed for undertaking this work; and, furthermore, no definite plan could ever be formulated without the ac- tive cooperation of the rector and vestry Of the parish with the Bishop of the dio- cese. I desire, therefore, to say that the Bishop, the Woman's Auxiliary and the rector and vestry of St. Peters have a6- solutely no idea now of doing any sucn thing. MAROON D; WILSON.
 Rector of St Peters Church.

SOLDIERS HOMES.
parts.

H EPORTS from Washington to the effect that strong pressure has been brought to bear upon Congress to transfer the management of national homes for disabled volunteer soldiers from the present control to that of the War Department It is asserted by the advocates Of the change that the present management of the homes is expensive and cumbersome and that there would be gain of both efficiency and economy by the transfer.
 The effect of the proposed movement would be to take the homes for disabled volunteer soldiers from the control of officers who, like the inmates were volunteers, and place them under that of a bureau created for the purpose in the War Depart ment where the management would be in the hands Of officers of the regular army. It would revive the old strife between the volunteer and the West Point graduate and it is by no certain the expected benefits would accrue.
 According to statistics compiled by Andrew ]. Smith governor of the Pacific Coast national homes for disabled volunteer soldiers, the argument for economy is on the side of the present management rather than on that Of the reformers Figures taken for the three fiscal years ending June 3o 1S96, show the average cost of maintenance per capita in the soldiers homes to have been SIS 2S, while the re- ports of the inspector general, U. s. A.. show the average cost of maintenance per capita at the regu- lar army soldiers home at Washington to have been SPOT II.
 While the comparison with the Soldiers Home at Washington is hardly fair test of the compara- tive merits of volunteer and regular army admins tration, inasrnuch the home and its grounds at the capital show places and are kept like park and summer home for the President, nevertheless the showing made for the management of the vol unteer homes is sufficiently excellent to throw the burden of proof upon those who maintain there would be greater economy under the control of a War Department bureau.
 +I,o of +t,a tional homes for disabled volunteer soldiers should be left as it in the hands of their former comrades in The War Department has enough to do with out creating bureau of service for it to per form There may be reforms needed in the exist ing management, for management is perfect, but such as are requisite be obtained just as well without making the radical change proposed

It Is not surprising to observe that another model" young man has gone away and that large sum of his em- pany. When a young man gets this adjective fastened to him he must either do something like this or violate precedent. There is no young man who deserves so i'll of the world as to be re- garded as a model" In fact, there is no line of conduct he may pursue that can justify the placing upon him of the handicap constituted by the ridi- ulous title. The youth unfortunate enough to be pointed out as a pattern Is apt to be one of two things Either he Is rogue in disguise or a Miss Nancy with too little brains to assume a dis guise. In each case the plan of not initiating him has much to commend 1t. If the natural impulse to be honest, industrious and decent is not sufficient to govern a life the sooner the police become oognizant of the matter the better. When one has been taught to look up to and emulate the example of a certain 'modeP' and the model sud- denly lights out for Canada, embarrass- ment is certain to rise. The exact point at which a ''modeP' ceases to be this and becomes a horrible example is diff !f1cult to define. If the rising genera ton must have a model" by all means let it choose one who Is dead and had the fortune to die without being found out.

I cannot refrain from saying that some of the best writing in connection with the Durrant case was from the pen of Miriam Nicholson. Yet Miss Nicholson was at no time required to dance attendance on the assassin nor any of his tribe. She did not deal with the terrible scenes of which he was the central figure, nor indulge in fearful exclamations Her work was in the nature of a study of the broader ques- tions involved, and she brought to their treatment keen perception, fine faculty of analysis and a broad men tai grasp. In addition to all these she possesses a most happy and incisive faculty of expression.
 Far to the Klondike's frozen wilds. where
 roams the polar bear,
 Rich nuggets hide deep under ground and frost
 rides in the air;
 One day there went an aged bard to write him
 what he saw.
 And getting chilled he quick made haste be-
 side a stove to thaw.
 Alas Alack! when he got thawed, oh awful
 thing to hear,
 He realized with pang most keen that he had
 sloughed
 Yet this is not the worst to tell; the bard Is
 coming home;
 All chances are when he arrives he'll straight
 way slough pome.
 Last week I felt an impulse to write something harsh about the Durrants. That the editor drew a long mark through it did not seem to me then the part of wisdom. I am willing to con- cede now that he was right, and to wager that this statement will receive his smiling approval. That the father and mother both had done much to for felt sympathy nobody who was at San Quentin during the last hours of the son would think of denying, and yet human Judgment is apt to be unduly harsh. I came back from the scene of the murderer's death, with it's sordid preliminaries and it's ghastly after math, certain that the fatal rope would be for sale and the body go to the high est bidder. It did not occur to me that the Durrants would rise to the height of trying to respect the last wishes of the laws victim. They seem to have done this and their efforts met an Op position hard to understand, brutal I am sure and senseIess am inclined 10 believe. The idea that a body, inert, 1ifeless, the malign spirit that had anil mated it gone, could not be reduced to innocuous ash without desecrating the place of flame, strikes me as silly to a point almost grOtesque. The con sideration shown the assassin while he was living was too great by far. The shame heaped upon the broken and empty shell of clay taken from the scaffold of justice was equally without excuse. The crude old plan of leav- ing the bones of the hanged clanking in chains at the roadside is shocking, but it is the same idea that denied to Theodore Durrant's body the embrace of the grave. the embrace in which all lie equal. and would have kept it from the purifying fire, where secrets defy the prYing eyes of science.

When an attorney named Terry, per
 forming the sacred rites of his calling before Judge Daingerfeld. dashed glass of water into the face of the op- position, he was warned from the bench that he was in contempt So far as is learned this closed the epi- sode. Simply to be told that one is in contempt, one knowing this in ad- vance, does not seem to constitute a strong restraining influence. If Terry had been sent to jail the effort of spec tators to avoid sharing in the contempt would have been less arduous.
