Moderate Drinkers and Sane
Workers.

In an intemperate editorial arti-
Gle in temperance journal some
months ago the assertion was
made that mo moderate use OF
spirits is compatible with health
or mental soundness, and moder-
ate drinkers may be called in many
cases veritable inebrates. Or
course such a wildly absurd state
ment refutes itself, yet there are
doubtless some mentally weak
persons and fanatical antis Of one
sort and another to whom such a
claim appears sound. Such will
probably be panied, says the New
York MEdicaL Record, to read the
6gures recently presented by DR..
Henry P. Bowditch to the educa-
ton committee Of the Massachu.
setts Legislature The occasion
was a hearing on a bill providing
tor scientific temperance instruc-
ton in the public schools. DIR.

The RECEPTION that General
Miles got at Springfield, Mass, on
his arrival last Saturday is a fair
example OF how the great mass of
the people feel about his contro-
versY with the War Department.
The streets through which he
passed were thronged with cheer
ing crowds, and many buildings
were decorated. 1t needs no
soothsayer to interpret certain
signs.

THE threatened rupture between
France and England in Africa has
been safely averted by an amicable
division Of spoils. All that was
left to grab on the Dark Continent
was cut up and divided. 1t is not
difficult to make peace as long as
there are heathens left to pay in
demnity to both sides.

Attacks on Germany Resented.

The Chicago Auditorium was full
Monday evening ofGerman-Amer-
leans, called together to protest
against an glo-American Alli-
ance and the false assertions made
against Germany in connection
with the recent Spanish. American
war.
The Committee in charge re-
ceived applications for several
thousand more tickets OF admis-
sion than there were seats in the
hall. A chorus OF 700 male voices
was one OF the features of the pro-
gramme. Ex-Congressman Will
liam Woke presided and delivered
the opening address.
Other speeches were made by
William Rapp on "The Immi-
grated Germans" Fritz Glogauer
on "The American People, Not
Anglo-Saxon;" the Rev. Rudolph
A. John on THE American. born
Germans" and the Rev. George
d. HelClmann on "What We De-
mand." The meeting was a very
enth usiastic one, and the following
declaration was unanimously
adopted:
Washington sentinel., 1899-04-01

with profound indignation we have
noticed the persistent efforts OF English
American newspapers not only to incite
among our people vicious prejudices
against Germany and to deiame the
character Of the German-Americans,b but
also to drag the United States into an
alliance with England.
"As loyal citizens Of this republic IT is
our right as well as our duty to resist
these wicked practices with all due firm.
ness. The immigrants from Germany
have brought with them to this land the
achievements OI civilization as high as
It IS old, Upon every field Of the
intellectual life of our nation, as we'll as
in commerce, industry and agriculture.
their efforts have redounded to the veal
of our people, aud in peace as we'll as
IN war they have at all times faithfully
fulfilled their duty. No part of the
American people has done more for the
cultivation Of music, ,sociability, the arts,
the sciences, the churches and the schools
than the Germans. As good citizens Of
this country we cheerfully hand over the
achievements OF German culture to our
youthful American people still in a state
Of development.
1--WE emphaticallY object. therefore,
to the attempt to stamp our people as
Anglo-Saxons, and to make it subser-
Went to English guile. Not England but
the whole OF Europe is the mother coun-
try Of the white inhabitants of the
United States. We demand that not
only friendly relations be maintained
with Germany, that has been a faithful
friend of our people for more than I7o
years, but that peace and harmony be
cultivated with all nations, and we will,
therefore, true to the wise counsel OF
George Washington, at all times firmly
oppose the formation of eutangling alli.
ances with England as we'll as with any
other country, whereby our country may
be involved IN unnecessary war.
1--WE denounce the defamers who have
not only instigated public i'll will against
Germany, but who have by their gross
ISLANDERS also sown the seeds of discord
among our own people, and we solemnly
with England.
| I'VE further declare that with all law
ful means at our disposal especially in
political campaigns, we will at all times
srenuously oppose all those. who favor
the wicked attacks made upon friendly
nations, and who labor to entangle our
country with an alliance with England.
| I'VE call upon the committee that
has had In charge the arrangements for
this mass meeting to invite all the
German American churches, socIeties,
and orders in this city to send delegates
to a convention TO be held at an earIy
date tor the purpose OF forming a per.
manent organization, that the German
American citizens may be called to
action whenever il shall become neces.
sary to protect the blessing Of our
American institutions against wicked
and willy politicians.
I'VE call upon the committee to send
copies of these declarations to the
President of the United States, to his
Secretaries and to the Senators and
Representatives, In Congress"

A DISCUSSION OF BATHS.
A Commentator Declares They Are

perintendent of construction. Working in
harmony with the material man is The
framing gang" whose members assemble
and put together the cross-pieces and
poles. Their work is satisfactory only
when the construction party finds every
thing 1t needs ready to hand at all points
along the route. The commissary and ma
terial departments make extensive use of
horses and mules, which are generally
hired from farmers and others along the
line, in the hauling of poles, wires, etc,
and in the transportation of the men be-
tween sleeping places and their work. 1t
is not at all unusual for a party of tele-
phone builders to use from 20 to 30 teams,
at least; sometimes a teamster will follow
along the entire distant, but not often.
1t will be seen that telephone construc-
ton leaves a broad trail of money through
out the regions traVersed. Almost every
one in every neighborhood gets some of it.
Boarding house and hotel keepers, grocers,
bakers farmers and general dealers all
come in for a share. Possibly the saloon
keepers get least, since drinking among
the men is frowned upon the discharge fob
lows drunkenness with the certainty of
fate. From time to time dismissals for this
and other causes make the gangs short
handed and new men have to be taken on.
Thus it falls out that nearly every existing
telephone party include members
from all sections of the union, east, west,
north and south.
Last Work of All.
Entering towns buildings and organizing
exchanges and connecting the same with
the trunk lines are the final operations,
though generally carried on simultaneous
" with the wire-stringing. Formerly
towns were entered on poles, but the time
is undoubtedly coming when burial of
wires will be insisted upon in all munich
palties, and therefore, the long distance
telephone now passes "the limits" inva-
riably underground. This necessitates the
employment of subway builders and ca
ble-layers instead of groundmen, erectors
and wire men, and of tile, wooden or
metal conduits in place of poles. The
erection of exchange buildings, the laying
out and installment of switchboards, the
putting in of batteries and dynamos, the
establishment of lightning arrestors the
threading of the subways-an these opera
tons call upon as many different sets of
men as are employed in general construc-
ton, and all must complete their several
tasks before the pretty girl operators may
seat themselves before the switchboards
and begin their interminable "helloing"
TO the talking wires. Osborn Spencer.

1GNON, Mrs. Charles L. p.
mi Marais' little Mexican hound,
wi is no more and her mistress
is inconsolable. Doggy passed
away Thursday morning at half
past 3 o'clock after an illness ex-
tending over four months. To the
last the tender mistress was at the
bedside of the patient sufferer, and
the last look of the sorrowful eyes
and the final lick Of the fevered
tongue was for the self-sacrificing
devoted woman who had nursed the
petted ki-yi through the fatal ILL
ness.
All day yesterday Mignon lay in
state in the back parlor of the Ma
rails residence, 1912 Mission street.
The remains, shrouded in a soft gray
dog blanket, reposed on crimson
velvet cushion. Round the slen-
der neck, stiff and cold in death,
was tied true-lovers' knot of broad
white satin ribbon. Violets and mai
denhair almost hid from view all
that was left of Mignon, and fluffy
golden chrysanthemums - the last
sad tokens of doggy's little friends
were beautifully arranged about.
At 4 o'clock Mrs. Marais sadly
placed the remains in a metal-lined
casket and the interment took place
IN the front garden Mignon was laid

On March Is, 1878, the Legislature pass
tory Of the above-mentioned act, section
Of which provides as follows:

tons and penalties as to all such funds

Statutes 1S77-1S7S. p. 1882
That by the latter act the provisions OF
the .one-twelfth act were made applicable
to the Board of Eduction seems to be too
clear to require discussion. The Board OF
Education is certainly a department OF
the municipal government, and the school
fund one of the funds of its treasury.

.Worley's consolidation act, PIP. II, Is, Il,
Is and It's.
The express exception of the new City
Hall Commissioners and Golden Gate Park
Commissioners alone from the operation
OF the act emphasizes the proposition that
all other departments, including the
Board of Education, are subject to its
operation; and as School Directors are
the only, officers to whom the term Di-
rectors'' is applicable, they should be con-
sidered as having been expressly declared
to be liable to all the duties, obligations
and penalties prescribed by the act.
1t Is contended On the part of defend
ants that even if originally applicable to
the Board of Education, the act in ques-
ton has been repealed. It is conceded
that there has been no repeal in express
terms, but 1t is claimed that the act has
been repealed by implication, by certain
provisions of the Political Code, which
are said to- be inconsistent Herewith.
Such a repeal could be accomplished
