FOR Il LICENSE TO DRINK,

Some hard-headed people think that
about as much to blame for what 1t
does to him as the man who sells it to
him. This isn't the sentimental view.
That view is that the drunkard Is a
poor, unfortunate creature, who would
take pleasure in being a fine man If
there were no gilded saloons to tempt
him. But why shouldn't a man who
wants to drink rum pay license for
the blessed privilege just as the man
who sells rum pays a license for his
privilege? There are those in Michigan
who think he should, and they have
put a bill into the legislative hopper
providing that the man who wishes to
enjoy the luxury of alcoholic stimula-
ton shall augment the city, village and
township revenues to the extent of IS
year. The bill requires that every
individual desiring to buy intoxicating
liquors by the drink shall obtain of the
town or city clerk license which en-
titles him to that privilege When the
license Is issued the person procuring it
is also required to Immediately publish
the fact in newspaper In the county
where he may reside. Liquor dealers
who sell intoxicants to anyone who
cannot exhibit legal permit to get in
toxicated are liable to heavy fine. The
of the license to another person.
This is an interesting move. Such a
law probably wouldn't restrict drunk
enness much, and perhaps no law could
be made that would. But something
can be said In its favor.

1T rs, IT rs THE CIT.

Boston doctor thinks people need
to have their attention called to the
harm which "the harmless, necessary
cat can do and so he has brought suit
against Boston dealer in pets. He
sues to recover the price Of an Angora
cat sold to his wife, together with such
damages as may be allowed for the
trouble to which he has been subjected.
The cat died within week after its
purchase, and the doctor satisfied him
self by post-mortem examination that
the cause of death was tuberculosis of
an acute type. Believing that his fam
lily had been unduly exposed to the dan
ger of contagion, the doctor brought
suit In reality, however. the action Is
being brought with view to attracting
the attention of the public to the grave
danger to which, the doctor says, many
people heedlessly expose themselves.
Pets like Angora cats, he says, very
often spread disease, and he has no
doubt that child or person not in good
health, who might have played with his
wife's late pet, would have contracted
the disease. He considers the selling
of an animal under the circumstances
to be a very serious matter. In this
case he also sees an explanation Of mys-
ferrous cases Of disease, where the
friends of the stricken ones find them
selves unable to tell how disease was
contracted.
This sordid world grows cumbersome.
1t is evident that between the cats and
the bacili very few Of us will get out Of
it alive.

Mediterranean to Naples, Venice and

| The illusion Is cleverly managed. The
passenger goes on board the steamer,
| finds the deck and cabin correct in all
details, and the crew of genuine sail
ors obeying the orders OF a bonatde
captain.
Around the ship are the blue waves,
behind it the port of Marseilles, before
it the sea and the horizon. The order to
depart is given, smoke pours from the
funnel, the water is churned up by the
propeller of the vessel, which Is placed
on a pivot, four hydraulic pumps CIV
ing the motions of rolling and pitching,
and in a few moments fresh breeze,
scented with the smell of the sea strikes
the face. This is furnished by VEN
tilators filled with fresh seaweed.
Comfortably seated on deck, the trav-
eller enjoys the sight as the vessel pro-
crosses, passes the forts and meets
ships and f1shngboats All the Incl
dents of a sea trip are supplied. A
fleet Of war vessels Is sighted, sunrise
and sunset are admired and the excite
ment Of a storm at sea is safely tasted.
The arrival at Venice takes place at
night, while at Naples the port Is en-
tered at daylight, as is that of Constan-
tinople.
The illusion is produced by the walls

than fifteen yards high, slide smoothly

dicious use of lights of saline odors
completes an effect opposite to that fire.

THREE DESERT QUAY.

Quays men In the Pennsylvania legis-
lature have stuck to him with a per
sistence worthy of at least as good
cause. But there was a slight, though
perhaps ominous change in the perform
ance yesterday, when three Republicans
who have been voting for Quay left him
and voted for other Republican candi-
dates. Doubtless others who have been
voting for Quay are tired, but they may
not dare to show their WEAKNESS. 1t Is
an impressive illustration of the quality
Of Quay's grip that he has been able to
hold his own so long. Perhaps he can
hold enough to the end to enable him to
say who shall be senator. 1t has not
seemed possible for some time that he

The fiat back skirt-that is, the skirt
laid in two pleats that lie edge to edge
at the back, are very stylish in the
heavier summer goods, and separate
skirts of this sort in pique will be much
worn with shirt waists. Pique braided
with white cotton soutache promises to
be popular. Shirt waists of pique are
already shown to go with such skirts,
though shirt waists of any wash ma
terial will look equally well. Duck,
linen, and denim are also shown in sep
arate skirts, braided, stitched and plain.
The denim comes in blue, reds, and in a
very good shade of dull tan.
The long lace scarf of our gradmoth-
ers is again much admired. It is to lie
about the shoulders, or to be drawn over
the head and about the hair under the
pretty hood of cloak. Thus the hair
is protected from dsarrangement. This
idea is sure to prevail for summer, too,
and it seems likely that by July the
bellies will be wearing their pretty locks
scarfed, instead of putting themselves
under hats. Liberty scarfs edged with
lace, net scarfs, scarfs of blond, yelling,
chiffon or of imitation lace will be Of
fered as soon as some of the big pack
ing boxes now numbering into the shops
are opened. FLORETTE

BEARS SHOWED THE WAY.

Discovery of a Moonshine Whisky Still
in the Woods OF Potter County.
When Joe Stewart was first appoint
ed deputy United States marshal FOR
this district a year ago one piece or
information transferred to him by MS
predecessor was concerning a moon
! shine whisky plant suspected to be IN
| operation somewhere in the Kettle
Greek region of Potter county. From a
/ cook at one of the lumber camps Stew
art learned that whiskey was brought
! to the men In gallon demijohns by an
old man named Reeser, who lived near
New Bergen, on the headwaters of
Kettle Creek Consequently he visited
Reeser's home to trace the whisky II
possible He was met at the door by
as pretty young woman as he ever
set eyes on. This was Reesers daugh
ter Priscilla. She said her father was
down the creek on an Grand. 1t was
cold, blustery day, and Deputy
Stewart limited that man needed
something to warm him in such wealth
err. Priscilla seemed to understand,
and from a shelf back of the stove took
down longnecked bottle, poured about
five fingers into a tumbler and handed
it to Stewart. The whisky was raw,
and obviously moonshne, although
Priscilla said as she pushed the bot
tie back on the shelf that they got 1t
at Coudersport so as to have little
in the house in case of sickness.
Having traced the whisky so far
Stewart left the cabin and hunted
ha Ia <rnt into
a trackless waste of snow and laurel
and hemlock. There was no sign of
track or path, and he was about to
give 1t up in disgust when he heard the
loud chattering and squealing Of black
bears In few moments out on the
snow from hemlock thicket came two
nearly full-grown. AS soon as he
clapped eyes on them Steward saw that
something was wrong with them. They
were staggering, and one of them was
carrying a small domijohn.

Presently the bears stopped to take a
drink. The one with the demjohn
raised 1t to his mouth and the pull he
took was so long that the other, becom-
ing impatient grasped the demijohn
and soon was getting on the outside Of
copious draughts of whatever the jug
contained. Stewart remained in hiding
back Of big maple and when the
drunken bears went shambling off into
the forest he couldn't help Laughing at
his queer luck and the queer sight of
two bears out on a jamboree. 1t was
the easiest thing in the world for
Stewart to back track the bears
through the hemlock thicket, and al
though the course taken was somewhat
wabbly, he succeeded in following the
trail. 1t led back to the foot of the

TIE NEW ENGLISH CABL LIE PLAN

There is no doubt that we need a
cable to Hawaii, and we shall need one
further on, if we stay further on. Eng
land is going to have cable between
Canada and Australia. 1t is figured
that, laid in the best manner and of the
best material, the cable will cost not
over $9,OOO,000, which sum is to be
raised upon bonds guaranteed by the
Australian colonies, Canada and Eng
land. At 21a or 2% per cent. the annual
charge on So, 900 would be small and
would probably be met the first year by
the net profits on messages sent at fifty
cents a word between Australia and
Canada or seventy-five cents word be-
tween Australia and England. Queens
land New South Wales, Victoria and
New Zealand have volunteered to meet
each one-ninth of the cost. Canada and
England will divide the other five
ninths between them. The pay mes
sages will, it is believed, meet the fixed
charges, 50 that the governments named
will not really have need to contribute
anything more than their credit. The
route is to be from Vancouver to Fan
ming Island, Fiji and Norfolk Island.
From the aforementioned place branches
will go to New Zealand and Queens
land. The cable traffic with Australia
in 1897 was 2349,901 words at about
$1,1S a word. BY 1902, when the Pacific
cable could be completed the traffic will
have materially increased. The discov-
cry of much gold in Northwest Canada
and the approaching federation of Aus
tralasia are mentioned as reasons why
the need for the new line is increased.
