Law For Inebriates.

Since inebrlety has been recognized Of
IDEALLY by somo States as O disease laws
have been passed for the treatment or cure
OF inebriates. In few States the law pro-
vldes that they may be committed to the
hospitals for the insane. In Vermont they
may be placed in such institutions or In
private institutions for the cure OF drunk
enness. Massachusetts has State institu-
tion for the treatment of such cases. Penn
sylvania authorizes the counties to estab.
lish hospitals in connection with the work.

course OF treatment OF from six months to
two years, the indigents at the expense OF
the county.
In Michigan and Wisconsin INDECENT In
ebriates are committed at public expense
to some private asylum, the commitment
in the former State being for not more than
thirty days and the cost Of treatment in
the latter not to exceed $3.50.
In Louisiana the judge Of the district
court, upon the application of the relatives
OF an INDECENT. drunkard who has lost the
power OF reasonable self-control," may
commit him at the expense Of the parish
to some institution for treatment, provided
that 1t will agree to cure the inebrlate at q
cost not to exceed 800. California has
authorized certain counties holding lands
reserved for thepurpose to build hospitals
for the inebriate. Minnesota has provided

y OLD World Thirst on the Increase.
B Last year the population Sof the British
Isles drank q gallon Of whisky per head,
besides vast amount Of liquors in other
forms. Our cousins drink entirely too
much, and their wise men are telling them
so. Moreover, they are not getting better,
but worse. The London Lancet says, that
within twenty years the deaths OF men
from chronic alcoholism have increased
eighty-two per cent, and OF women 145 per
cent. Diseases due to alcohol have also
increased very seriously, especially among
women. This is much the same story that
Is told OF France, Belgium and other con.
tinentel countries. What ails the old world
that Its thirst is 80 uncomfortable? Tales
e!of this sort tend to make US patient
with ethe teetotalers. Great Britain
( derives IN enormous revenue from rum,
and doubtless every true British patriot
drinks many, times day to the extension
Of the, en- pire, but 1t looks as II there might
comesa day when the extension Of the en-
Z pireS Will seem OF less vital Importance than
Kthe restriction OF rum. Pulling at ones
boot straps is not the way to rise in the

A Handy Spool and Thread Holder.

It is surprising that such a useful
article as the spool and thread holder,
here described, has not already be-
come o household possession. The
idea is simply to have the six grades
,f cotton thread, used so much by the
women folks, always handy by arrang-
ing them in closed box so that only
the ends of the thread protrude from
little holes ready to be drawn for
use, as from twine holder.
If small wooden box cannot be
found of the proper size, construct
one, of rather TIN wood, five inches
long, four inches. wide, and one and
half inches deep. Attach the cover
on with any kind of small hinges and
have o small hook by which to keep
the box closed after the spools are in
place. =.
From any small round sticks OF
wood the shape of q lead pencil, cut
six pieces each one md quarter
inches in length: These are to be
fastened to the bottom of the box, in
side, and on which the spools will
turn. Glue them in place, and make
them perfectly secure by driving
small brads into them from the bottom
of the box.
On the outside of the box, opposite
each spool, bore fine hole, half way
from the bottom, on both the from
and back of the box. With the spools
in place, unwind and pass each end O..
thread through the small hole op.
posite. The box may be decorated
elaborately or simply vanished, but
in either case paste the labels from
the spools around each of the thread
holes on the outside. so that the size
will be indicated-2O, 80, etc. On
the inside of the cover little pockets
made of fancy goods may be attached
in which to place packages of needles

BEING FUNNY ON A TROLLEY
CAR.

1t has been said that since the ad-
vent of the trolley car the fool-killer
has found his task comparatively easy.
There is doubtless a good deal OF truth
in the assertion, but the trolley" is
not very discriminating, and moreover,
it sometimes errs sadly on the side of
mercy. There are still many good
solid days work left for the laborer to
whom popular fancy has entrusted the
gigantic undertaking of keeping a
large class OF the worlds population
from a too rapid increase. There was
a brilliant vindication of this assertion
at Charlottesville the other day. The
trolley cars there run up and down
switch back grades. One car with Il
trailer pulled out from Fry Spring
for the city, loaded with people. An
other car was waiting behind 10 fol-
low. At the top of the hin some young
men" conceived the eXquistely funny
project of slipping the trolley from the
wire. The car and trailer ran down
the hill by gravity and partially up

then they started back to meet the

stood on their heads, kicked out the
sky-lights and the stats OF their
neighhors. Fortunately, nobody was
killed or fatally injured. But wasn't
1t great joke? Clearly, there is still
much work for the fool-killer. and his
vocation has been too long drawn out.

KEEP PERSONAL POLITICS OUT
OF 1T.

me Richmond correspondence of the
Nirginian-Pilot yesterday contained
the information that the friends of
Judges Mann and Whittle assert that
Governor Tyler is averse TO calling an
extra session Of the Legislature to pro-
vide for holding the Constitutional
convention because the Legislatures
would probably elect some one other
than Judge Phlerar to succeed the late
Judge RELY on the bench of the Sit
preme Court Of Appeals. Judge Pile
gar is serving ut present on the Gov
ernor's appointment. and the idea
seems to be that the Governor wishes
no meeting of Legislature that
would not continue Judge Phlegar in
the place to which he has named him.
The VirgininnPilot trusts that the
friends of Judges Mann and NhittIo
are mistaken. The question, as it sees
It, is one entirely apart from the wis
oom or unwisdom of special session
OIL the Legislature in January 1t is
one of purity and singleness of prv-
pose In the administration of public
affairs, and until strong proof ia adj
duced the Virginian-Pilot prefers to
believe that Governor Tyler has not
placed the personal ambition of any
man before considerations reaching to
the interests and welfare of the whole
people of Virginia There is likely to
be enough petty politics mixed up
with graver matters before we are
through with the Constitutional Con
veption without injecting the question
as to who shall succeed Judge Rely
Governor Tyler could very i'll afford
to set such an example.
1t is, nevertheless worth while to
point out that il n wrong interpreta-
ton has been put upon Governor Ty-
iers actions in this matter he is him
self largely responsible for it, in that
he ignored all precedent, and the
claims of this section of the State, in
naming Judge Riely's successor Judge
Phlegars ability and fitness are CON
coded on all sides, but they were not
so transcendent as to warrant his ap-
pointment in despite of the claims of
this section to representation on the
bench of the States highest court.
and they are not so transcendent that
questions of far-reaching State policy
must yield to their retention in the
States service.
We are the more encouraged to be-
lieve that Governor Tyler has been
Observation-Disclosures we are Offering no
criticism of the friends of Judge Mann
or Judge Whittle-because he could
not fail to see the futlity of any at
tempt TO railroad his personal pre-
ferences in this matter through the
Legislature. This section of Virginia
is entitled TO the seat now filled by
Judge Phlegar. and it is not going to
be at all backward in claiming what
is due it; it is encouraged to believe
that the rest of the State will be com
placent toward it's claims. 1t will GER
tainly fare i'll with any man who
thrusts himself between the people of
this State and the problems OF Con-
stitutlonal revision.

BETTER TAKE POT-LUCK WITH
THE PARTY.

a faction of men from the labor
unions OF this city propose to meet to-
night and put out n candidate for Con-
gress. The Virginian-Pilot will not be
entitled TO the privileges OF the floor
In that meeting. If 1t Were it would
ask the laboring men two questions:
1. What do you expect to gain by
making the proposed nomination.?
2. Is it wise for the laborng man to
cut loose from his fellow-citizens and
set up shop for himself in politics?
In all good humor we do not believe
q member of the proposed convention
would be able to name one single tan
gible advantage that will result to
the laboring man from the nomi-
ton OF candidate for Congress
in this district. On the other hand
the disadvantages are plain, and not
the least OF them is that the labor
vote will pe regarded by others as
adopting Il ''rule or ruin" policy. The
strict labor vote is not large enough to
either rule or ruin the Democratic
party in this district, and the attempt
can only result in diminishing the pres
-tiGe and influence Of that vote. We
submit TO the good sense of laboring
men. is it worth while to take so radi-
cal step when the only reward will be
crushing defeat at the polls and accusa-
tions of bad faith before and after the
defeat takes place? OF course, IL there
were any urgent question of principle
involved it would be a different mat
ter, but there isn't. AS we have already
shown, the demands OF the Iaboring
men, as embodied in their platform, are
identical with those OF the Democratic
platform, save that for an eight-hour
[ law, which can be reached through tile
Legislature. The whole movement is
| admitted to be based on enmity to Mr.
I Maynard, and after q candid eXainina-
ton the enmity seems not to be we'll
J founded.
Is 1t well for the laboring man to cut
loose from his fellow citizens in poll
tics? Thus far he has never been able
to bulge peg when he has done so.
Laboring men are not now, and will
: never be, numerous enough acting by
themselves, to secure one particle of
the legislation they demand; everything
they have accomplished so far has been
z throuEh cooperation with one or the
Z other Us the regular political parties:
what Is accomplished hereafter will
have to be accomplished in the same
+ way. Why not recognize these facts,
and follow a course dictated ~ the
wisdom of such recognition? viz ar.
