BEER AS A TONIC.
stefan, 1t Wrecks a Beautiful
WOman's Life and Her Home.

She'll be drunk again 20 minutes
after she gets out of prison" said the
warden of the county Jail at New
Brunswick, N. j., pointing to a poor,
besotted bag that groveled behind the
bars.
The woman was hopelessly intoxi-
Gated. Yet on her features were still
the marks of beauty. The few words
that escaped her lips were of the best
English. Her hands were small and
delicately formed. She was Mrs. Ada
Vandyck, daughter OF clergyman, and
once the belle of the country town
where she was born and ruined by a
physicians prescription.
She was arrested after an orgie in
the woods, where some tramps had a
howell. The good people of the town
long since have Stunned her. Drink
has been her curse from the day she
took that first glass of beer as tonic.
Mrs. Vandyck was once dainty Ada
Edwards, daughter of Rev. John Ed
| wards, q Methodist minister, who is
still living at Leeds, N. Y. She was the
belle of the village. Half the young
| men were at her feet. But her heart
was Brace Vandyck's, a pupil in her
class at high school. A few months
| after graduation she married him. All
Leeds looked on young Vandyck as the
luckiest young man in the village. They
went TO live with the minister till the
time should come for them to have a
home of their own.
Now, the Edwards family are all tee
totalers. So young Vandyck signed the
pledge. He went into business and
achieved marked success. He bought
a house at Catskill, N. Y, for his bride,

DEVICES OF THE DEVIL.
The Kind of "War News" That the
Saloon Hns a Right to Dis
seminate.

The devil is always abreast of the
times and adopts cunning devices to
trap the unwary. In front of saloons
il nearly every city in the country dur
ing the war he had this placard ex-
posed: "War news inside!"
Yes, war news! The same returns
the drunkard's wife has been receiving
YEAR after year since the husband en-
listed in the army of inebriates. What
are the returns? Neglect, abuse, dis
tress, shame, despair, physical decay
and spiritual blight! Deserters from
the ranks of manhood and social purity
find in the saloon an abundance of war
news in times of peace. The saloon it,
self is the devils arsenal. 1t is also the
rendezvous where he mobilizes his
forces for the final assault upon society
and the home.
War news in the saloon represents
the new recruits under King Alcohol.
So long as the saloon exists there will
be plenty of war news!"
What does the devil care about our
entanglements with foreign powers?
lie has no interest in our present strug-
gle for humanity's right beyond the
canvas walls of the damnable canteeni
From it he gets his war news from tho
front. Glorious accounts of the surren-
der of manhood and everything that
makes life dear! Verify, these author
lied depots of hellish supplies are
disgrace and a crime against civiliza-
ton. Officers feast upon luXuries pur-
chased with money received in eX-
change for whisky and beer sold their
commands, while the dupes who spend
theil money for drinks must content
themselves with coarse rations provid-
ed by the commissary! Here is pic
ture to hold up before civilized critics.
Our nation parading before the world,
arrayed in the paraphernalia of war as
the champion of liberty and oppressed
humanity, while establishing and main
tanning in our military centers a traffic
that is welding the chains of eternal
bondage around the hopes of the flower
of our country's manhood! Truly, the
devil has war news to bulletin in the
saloon.
But the most appropriate bulletin of
war news the saloon keeper could ex-
pose would be the picture of drunk
ards home. This would represent tn.
storming, the assaults, the counter
charges, the all day and night battles
with hunger and disease, forced
marches to evade creditors, begging,
pleading for mercy and the final sur
render of hope and virtue to the over
whelming forces of despair and de-
moralization. The drunliard's wife has
no time of peace in which to prepare
for war. 1t is for her one continued
struggle against poverty and the de-
mon sent against the home day after
day from the DEVILS headquarters in
the saloon.
An hour in the police court in a largo
| city will convince anyone that there
is war news" inside the saloon, the
echoes of which resound through the
dark corridors of the prison and tho
grave, and whose duplicate bulletins
hang upon the pictureless walls of tlse
cheerless quarters the saloon keeper
has robbed of the name of home

that Boston people speak abominably,

ETHER TIPPLING.
More Rapid and Dreadful in Its Effects
Than Are Alcoholic
Liquors.

The prevalence and the dangers Of
drinking either are discussed in the
Scneitific American. The vice prevails
among the peasantry in north and
northwestern Ireland, and exists to
some degree among the higher as well
as the lower classes of England. Re-
Gently a medical officer of health in
Prussia drew attention to the fact that
ether tipping is excessively prevalent
there, and is constantly increasing. 1t
is added that the vice is an importa-
ton from Russia, it being in some dis
tricts of the Nluscovite empire per
niciously prevalent" Mere children"
it declares, "often come to school eX-
hibiting signs of having imbibed ether
before leaving home; mothers give it
to their offspring to relieve abdominal
pain; and on market days the odor Of
the drug is perceptible everywhere in
the respiratory exhalations of the
peasantry of both sexes, and when
vehicle occupied by them is encoun-
tered on the highway, a cloud of ether
seems TO float along"
Says the Scientific American: Chat
ether as beverage and intoXicant is
much more pernicious than alcohol,
may be imagined; it is also much more
seductive in its influence, once the in
dividual is haDituated thereto. The
injuries accruing to the habit are more
rapidly induced, and generally further
reaching than those derived from bev-
erages of purely spirituous nature;
chronic catarrhs that are absolutely
irremediable, fatty degeneration of
the heart, Qualification of the great
blood vessels, 'hobnail' liver-a cancer
GUS condition-softening of the brain
and other cerebral troubles leading to
great mental debility and even to COM
plete idiocy, are the common sequels
claimed to obtain to this vice" Our
contemporary also mentions the
startling. increased, and general con-
sumption of substitutes for alcoholic
beverages" as well as the increase in
the consumption of spirits proper,
saying thai in Great Britain the con-
sumption of spirits has increased far
beyond any ratio of increase in popu-
lation; that more public houses are
in existence; and that cologne drink
ing, choral and cocaine taking, ether
tipping and the consumption of mar
cotic drugs generally, are in common
vogue and daily, almost hourly, as
suming enlarged proportions.

and there they went to live. Three
beautiful children were born-Lulu,
May and David.
One day Mrs. Vandyck was taken ILL.,
She needed a tonic, that was all. Her
strength was slow in coming back.
Take little beer regularly" said
her family physician. That will build
you up all right"
In vain Mrs. Vandyck protested that
she was a total abstainer. The doctor
laughed.

'snd you must take it as SUCH
Mrs. Vandyck tasted her first glass of
beer. Her husband got a case of it. She
drank it all. He got another. 1t went
faster than the first. He found that she
was buying it outside, too. Then the
husband awoke to the fact that the wife
was drunkard. He came home one
night to find her lying on the floor, help
lessly drunk.
Tears, prayers, the church, all failed.
The poor woman tried hard, but her will
was too weak. The distracted husband
decided to try change of scene and
moved with his family to New Bruins
wick. Away from her old friends and
her old home, the wife and mother
threw prudence to the winds. In de-
spair Vandyck drove her from the
house. She was back in IL week, re-
pentant. He took her in; in an hour
she was drunk again. Vandyck gave
up, and, putting his children in a home,
went west. The wife went to live in
the woods with the tramps, joining in
their drunken revels.
Once Mrs. Vandyck reformed for a
month, sought out by the good people
of the mission. But she fell again.

A correspondent of Nature, who is as
ISOLATED with the observatory at Tou-
louise, calls attention to very singular
phenomenon, the scientific explanation
of which he seeks. Take a bar of iron
in the hand by one end, and plunge the
other end in the fire, heating it strong
ly, but not SO much that the hand can
not retain its hold. Then plunge the
heated end in pail of cold water. I'M
mediately the end held by the hand be-
comes so hot that il is impossible to
retain it in the fingers. This phenome-
non, said by the correspondent to be IA
miliar to workmen in iron, is a'scribe6
by them TO some repellant action which
they suppose the sudden cold to exert
upon the heat contained in the iron,
which is thus driven to the opposite ex-
tremity.

an imperial standpoint a scepter
dropped from the hand of the great
white queen can be borne aloft in her
lifetime by no successor.
In many parts of the world the
British raj is personified in the little
lady who, 60 years ago, said to those
who told her that she was queen: Il
will be good" In some parts of India
she is actually worshiped as goddess.
In her lifetime the native races of the
empire will either look to the queen
as their ruler or they will assume that
something has happened that saps and
neutralizes British power. These i'm
perial considerations as to the effect
on Asiatics and Africans were also in
the minds of the ministers when they
unanimously refused to advise the
queen to rest from the crushing bur-
den of the crown.

There are not only pecuniary and

of Great Britain and Ireland, she is
also empress of India, reigning sover-
eign over more Moslems than the grand
Turk and more Africans and Asiatics
than any other civilized monarch. Alb

FIRE WARDENs.-A meeting of the
Fire Wardens was held last night to
consider the matter of the resignation
of Driver Dix, of the Hydraulion en-
CINE. Only three of the wardens
were present, Mr.. Richard Rowland
being detained at home from the effects
of severe fall he sustained yesterday.
Several members of the Hydraulion
company were also present. MIR. Dix,
against whom various charges of con-
duct unbecoming a fireman had been
preferred but which charges were with
drawn after Mr.. Dix had rendered his
resignation, denied in toto every
charge and also denied that he had
ever admitted being guilty of any of
them. After long and heated dis
cus;ion the meeting adjourned without
taking action in the matter.
This morning another meeting of the
wardens was held at the residence of
MIR. Rowland, at which Messrs. Har-
low, Burke and Rowland were pre-
sent, Mr.. Patterson being detained at
home. The resignation of Driver Dix
was accepted, to take place at once, and

GRANTED AN INJUNCTIoN.-Judg
Nicol of the Circuit Court Of the
county yesterday at Manassas
granted an injunction requiring
the Washington Southern Railway
Company and the Philadelphia, Viii
mington and Baltimore Railroad Com
pany to receive at Alexandria and
transport to Rosslyn, Alexandria coun
ty, all live stock rendered by or for the
Rosslyn Packing Company. The Ross"
Ign Packing Company has been endeav-
oring since last December to get the
railroad companies to haul its live stock
but they declined to do so, and in Feb
ruary the legislature passed an act re-
curing sll railroad companies to re-
ceive at, and transport to, the terminus
of their main and branch lines and at
every station where the companies had
freight depots all live stock rendered in
a proper condition for transportation.
The railroad companies contended that
the act was not passed in the mode pre-
scribed by the constitution of Virginia,
and that it was in conflict with the pro-
visions of section ten ofarticle one of the
constitution of the United States, but
Judge Nicol held the act valid and as
before stated granted the Injunction.
The railroad companies will probably
take an appeal t. the Supreme
Court of Appeals of Virginia, and pos
sibly carry the case to the Supreme
Court of the United States. The rail
road companies were represented by
Col. T. L. Smith and the RosslIn com
pany of Mr.. A., w. Armstrong.
