BOOTH INSULTED.
Called q Traitor by Chicago Saliva
tionists.

Chicago, March 24-"You traitor to
the Salvation Army! Is this the way
you keep the promise you made to your
dying mother?''
General Darlington Booth was greeted
thus as he rode down West Madison
street last night in the Volunteers of
America parade. The man who accused
him was a member of the Salvation
Army and a staff officer. A moment Ia
ter some one shouted:
''Hurrah for Moore's ARMY" then
there were Kisses from all sides, and
picture of Mrs. Booth, mother of Bal
lington Booth, flashed across magic
lantern screen against a house directly
opposite the Salvation Army headquart-
ers, SIS West Madison street. On the
screen also was Mrs. Booths dying
message, commanding that her children
and friends sustain the work Of the
army.
General Booth was overcome by the
insults and by the sudden appearance
of his mothers picture. The reference
to "Moore's Army was considered par
ticularly insulting, as Moore was the
man who some years ago started 3

salina Pastor Would Prefer to See His
Boy Killed Than to Become
Druukard.

SalIna, March 24.-The temperance
mass meeting held in the opera house
last night was well attended. Ladies
composed about half the audience. The
meeting opened with a prayer by Rev.
DR.. Foulkes.
There were several speakers, among
whom was the Rev. Mr.. Shields VINO
said: 1.-THE whole thing is repugnant to
me I would sooner be at home, but
the time to fight evil is here. 1t would
be better to shoot every child In Salina
than let them grow up to be drunkards-
If I had a boy 1 would rather see him
killed with a Winchester than become
drunkard. Last night lot of liquor
was taken from a place down town, but
the county attorney dismissed the case
for want of evidence OF something of
that kind We want temperance pa

The effort being made to secure the
release of the Younger brothers from
the Minnesota penitentiary prompts the
St Paul Dispatch to say:
There is no longer a public sentiment
that demands the further incarceration
of the Younger brothers, and the bill
providing for their parole would be
passed by an overwhelming majority if
submitted to the people for their ap
prevail If twenty years of penal serVf-
tude are not sufficient expiation Of their
crime, their Imprisonment was q too
merciful sentence, and If twenty years
OF exemplary conduct constitutes no
evidence of reform, then reform is
myth, and punishment the only object
of Incarceration.
If the sentence passed upon the BAN
dts was an unjust one why doesn't
Minnesota reform her laws SO that it
would not be necessary to pass special
acts to get criminals out of prison. The
reference to twenty years of exemplary
conduct is amusing. Apparently the
Dispatch is grateful that they haven't
continued their career of crime through
all these years regardless of their in
generation.

mosquitoes there is no malaria. More

a patient to discover from the nature of
the microbes the exact stage which the
disease had reached. This discovery

Captain Dreyfus was condemned and
who in the present trial is virtual pros
ecutor, was called upon this afternoon
by the correspondent of the Associated
