Lsve of Liquor Not hereditary.

Professor Sims Woodhead, speaking
before the Society For the Study Of
Inebriety in England, came to these
conclusions: He held most strongly
that a direct transmission of the taste
for alcohol never occurred. OF course
he accepted very fully the fact that
certain nervous diseases and degenera-
tons involving certain altered and
weakened inhibitory powers are trans
mitted from generation to generation.
These, however. did not always as
Eume the same form, the manifesto
ton of the effect often taking on very
different characters in different gen
erations.
But whatever character they assum-
ed the result as regards alcohol was
inevitably the same, and until far more
evidence was brought forward than
had yet been presented he should

PUERTO RICO EXCITED.
Business Men Protesting Against the
Delay in Settling the TarifT
Question

SAN JUAN. Puerto Rico March IT,
AT a special meeting of the chamber of
commerce today It was decided to close
all business houses ON Monday to en-
able the merchants to attend an open
air meeting on the plaza with the OBJ
ject of drawing up petition TO Gov
ernOr General Davis demanding an
immediate congressional decision on
the tariff, one way or the other.
Agreements Were sent to all towns
throughout Puerto Rico, requesting
like demonstrations. The feeling of un-
certainty regarding the tariff holds
business practically at q standstilL
merchants being afraid to order goods
or to advance funds on planters ac-
counts
Merchants will be satisfied to accept
any direction of congress, either free
trade or 25 and 10 per cent tariff, but
they ask for a settlement of the ques-
tion, so that business activity may
be resumed
Sixty country women marched from
Naranjito last evening and petitioned
General Davis to save them from star
walton and to provide work and food
for them. The women presented a
most pitiable sight They were bare
footed ragged and half naked.

with confidence suggest some measures
whose necessity is now plainly appar.
ent At present we perceive certain
things.
First-Tbat We have established a
war college and an office Of intelligenca.
Second That those two are essential
elements of general STAFF
Third-That the department appoint
ed war board when the late war be-
gan indicating BY such action the
need Of general staff advice.
Captain Taylor then presented FIVE
orders, the first making the war col
lsse and intelligence Office mutually
dependent their chiefs and first assist
asnts, with the chief Of navigation.
forming a permanent board Of FIVE, and
stipulating that one-haf the intelIl-
gence force shall pass four months at
the intelligence Office.
The second which is practically the
one issued today. establishes general
board OF nine members, five OF whom
are named in the first or permanent
board. the others being the senior Of
ficials Of the navy. admiral Dewey,
the commanding officer Of the North
Atlantic fleet and their chiefs OF staff.
This general board is to meet 10 con
slider the plans Of the board OF five
every November and at such other
times as may be desirable. The third
order gives he chief OF navigation Gus
tody Of the approved plans. places the
combined work Of the war college and
intelligence Office under his general di-
rection and orders and designates him
az the representative OF the board in
all transactions with the secretary OF
the navy.
The fourth order is drawn with suf-
ficient elasticity eventually TO supplant
the naval staff. the marine corps and
all the civilian authorities Of the de-
partment. 1t provides that when mat
ters Of constructing, arming, equipping
or manning the ileet are necessarily de-
Quoted from the war plans and require
action Of the department and its bu-
reaus in supplying ships and their ac-
cessories. they shall be submitted to
the assistant secretary. who shall con
sider them and transmit them to the
secretary Of the navy.
The fifth order provides for enlarg-
ing the force of the intelligence Office
and war colleges and places the selec-
tion Of officers for both details in the
chief Of the bureau Of navigation. in
his capacity as chief Of the general
staff"

ST. PATRICK'S
DAY CELEBRATED
First Real Gala Day Since the
Declaration of War.
WARS END is IN SIGHT
The Dewey Of South Africa Has
Shown Rare Craftsmanship as
Well as Military Ability.

LONDON. March IS. 3:25 a. m.-
Amidst the festivities Of st. Patrick's
Day. London has been listening FOR the
word that Mafeking is relieved.
1t e remarkable that a revival Of
this holiday. which puts st. Patrick
hereafter on an equality with Prim-
rose Day has been the occasion Of the
first real gala day since the declara-
tion OF war. Christmas tide was
gloomy indeed, in comparison with to-
days merry making.
There Is much In the situation
In South Africa to justify rejoicing,
however, for the rapid pacihcation Of
the Free State leads the people OF Great
Britain to believe that they hays

With railway communication open to
the Cape and the moral Of his army at
its highest. England is now ready to
trust the commander in chief to com
plete the remainder Of his task in his
own way, confident OF his ultimate sue
cess.
So far as the Free State is concerned,
although the Beers are entrenehing at
the Vaal river, the impression at Cape
Town tonight is that the war is vir-
tually over. Transvaal officials are
said TO have vacated Langs and vrey-
berg. but the rebels are unwilling to
enter the Transvaal, being anxious to
trek homeward.
No one would be much surprised is a
great spread Of this contagion occurred

NOTED MIsER DEAD.
An English Shylock Who Never Re
garded the Widows and
Orphans Tears.

LONDON. March 1.-THE will Of
Isaac Gordon, a notorious money len
der. who died recently cannot De found
and is being advertised for.
II appears that this Wen known name
in the English courts, though Gordon
himself rarely appeared, was borne by
a man of only 35 years, who is credit
ed with leaving $5,OOO,OOO. On mis- body
was found $4,000 and in his Office S135, :
900 in cash.
This accumulation was due to the
fact that banks finally would not have
anything to do with his accounts. The
eight months which Gordon spent in
Jail when starting on his usurious ca
reer ruined his health and embittered
his life Among his victims he num-
bered clergymen, widows, orphans and
spendthrifts Of all classes in England,
and he frankly said in court that neith-
er the tears of the widow nor the or
phan would have the slightest effect
or him in pressing his claims.
Though his interest generally ex-
ceeded the principal and though
through agants or directly he render
ed homeless hundreds of people, he
never charged interest to his core
ligionists, the Jews.
Few dead men have ever received the
merciless obituaries that appear every
where on the death of this Millionaire
