Is AN HONEST DRINKING MAN TRUSTWOR
THY?
Under this heading in the January
number of Popular Science there is d
short article by 81. L. Eames, M. D.,
which considered as. the calm expression
Of physician published in scientific
magazine may have some influence for
good.
"One cause of drunkenness" he says,
sis the fact that, after the first glass, a
man has not the usual cool Judge
ment as to q second glas still less af-
ter the second as to the wisdom Of tax
ing the third,and so on. And one glass
is enough to give him rosy view of
everything, with some loss of de liberate,
wise Judgement"
RAILROAD business illustrates this.
The drink problem on American rail-
roads is a question of busine: and with
out any sentiment. If the man who
uses spirits in moderation or excess
shows any incompetency,h he is discharg-
ed at once. An engine was sent to the
shop for repairs more frt quently than
usual; enquiry showed that the epgi-
neer was a beer drinke1. The inference
was that beer had disturbed his Judge
ment and made him more reckless and
he was discharged. Practical men are
afraid to use spirits on the road for fear
they will neglect some duty and not act
wisely IN an emergency"
Recently, great railroad corporal
ion gathered all the facts concerning the
men and the conditions of every ac-
cident which had occurred on their lines
for five years. When tabulated it ap-
peared that 40 per cent of all accidents
were due altogether or in part to the
failures Of men who were drinking"
THAT in IS per cent there was strong
suspicion Of similar causes, yet no clear
proof. In one year over million dol
lars worth of property was destroyed
by the failures of beer drinking engi-
neers and switchmen."
THE co mpanies' rules requiring tenn
perate men for all positions are more
vigorously enforced. Engineers find
that practically, they are unable to do
good work while using spirits, even in
small doses. The GOODNESS and presence
of mind so essential in their work is
broken up by alcohol in any form"
have had accession say many times
that the man who has the drink habit
cannot be trusted. 1 have seen the
otherwise honest and reliable man slight
his work, go back on word and forsake
his contract, because he was fool
enough to take the first drink. l have
known the physician to lose the greater
part of good practice and finally leave
the town because a good patron found |
him drunk in his office. l have known
a clergyman to lose bis usefulness fer
good and leave the work because it be-
came current talk that he was drunken. |
The simple fact is that intelligent, re-
sponsible people discount the character
and usefulness of any one who drinks
and bis services and his society are be-
low par whatever his trade, profession
or social connections may be.-[O. o

Identification of a Body Found on the Ferry
 Boat SOlanO.
Is That of Ephraim Fairchild, an Aged Resident of
 Sacramento.
Belief That He Committed Suicide b! Throwing Hirnself Before the
 Moving Cars.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

MARTINEZ April 6.-The mystery of the Morgue has been solved and through the efforts of Coroner Curry a corpse which for several days has oc- cupied marble slab has been identified as that of Ephraim Fairchild of Sacra- mento. Last Thursday the remains of the old man were found on the ferry boat Solano at Port Costa They had been there all night and death, 1t was thought, had been caused by his being run over by the cars. On the body was $6 65 In money and a check which in- dicated that Fairchl.- destination was San Francisco. In his pockets were two street-car transfers also.
 An inquest was held and a verdict rendered that death was accidental, but by many 1t is believed to have been a case of deliberate suicide, as his body was lying across the track, the head crushed and one leg almost cut off.
 Coroner Curry did not feel like bury ing the body in a rauper's grave. as the appearance of the deceased indicated that he had at one tine been a man of means. He sent cards bearing a de- scription of the dead man in every di- rection. but no responses were received until yesterday when Oakland's Chief of Police telephoned that he thought the deceased had been in jail there a week ago and that in a talk with the night captain he said he had a son in Bakersfield. The Coroner followed up the cleW. He sent telegram to c. H. Fairchild, station agent at Bakersfield. Fairchiid came to Martinez to-day and immediately identified the remains as those of his father.
 Ephraim Fairchild was born in Brad ford County, Pennsylvania, in 1902. He was well-to-do. For the last forty years he resided in Sacramento. He had not been in his right mind for some time and persisted in rowing around de- spite the protests of his son and wife. Some time ago his wife was appointed as his guardian.
 Fairchild owned all of Chinatown at Sacramento and had money in diff ferent banks. His widow now resides with Mrs. Judge Cross at Sacramento. The remains will be shipped to the cap- ital tomorrow for interment.

SAN MIGUEL, April 6.-Herbert, the nine-year-old son of Mir. and Mrs. E. G. Grow of Stacks Canyon, died suddenly on Sunday of lockjaw. Early in the week the boy struck his foot on an old oak stump, causing slight abrasion of the flesh between the little toe and the next one. It caused no trouble or uneas- mess for several days, but Friday the foot began to swell and became very painful.
 Mir. Grow started to town on Sunday with his boy in the farm wagon to get medical assistance When about three miles from town and after having trav- eled seventeen miles, the boy suddenly expired and the grieved parent returned home with his dead child.
