Illustrating the Peculiar Treating
Custom In Vogue There.
OF course there is in Haiti q small
circle Of native born creoles, who are
naturally born ladies and gentlemen,
exquisite in their courtly manners and
most desirable as friends. Then the
white men! who are living there, as /
hsvaalready mentioned. are characters.
Il, they ltake a liking to you, all they
have OF can capture is yours. The fol-
lowing will illustrate this character
istic:
Mine host and friend were walking
through the leading thoroughfare Of
one of the towns when the friend sud
denly came to q standstill and, placing
his long nervous index finger on mine
hosts breast, remarked; &
"My dear boy, in here they make the
best cocktails in Haiti. i have spent
three fortunes in assuring myself Of the
truthof this. iLet'sego in and try one. I"
There wass'h prompt adjournment
from the pathwa1k9to, the interior OF
the building, a few minutes of delight
full, expectant silence as the ingredients
were zhaken together, mutual bow,
followed by disappearance Of the liq-
uids.
Friend-How do you like thats
Mine Host-Deliciousi
Friend-Let us have another.
Mine Host-Certainly, only this sec.
ond one is on me.
Friend-Make no mistake, my boy ;
they are both on you. I've no money.
1t is the unexpected that happens,
especially in Haiti the unknown.

The salt trust furnishes good illus
tration Of the way trusts benefit the
consumer. just before its formation a
few months ago, salt was retailing in
this city for $l.O0 per barrel. Now the
purchaser ct any of our stores has to
pay for it $1.50 per barrel. Another
object lesson furnished by trust is the
recent advance in the price of sugar,
which now gives the sugar trust pro.
fit of one cent pound. 1t is past our
ken to divine why men who are neither
financially interested in this species of
larceny, nor political leaders who profit
thereby, will by voice or vote, aid in
supporting party that protects these
organized bands of worse than highway
robbers. Take away the countenance
and support given them by the republi-
can party and they could not exist.
On the other hand, without the funds
furnished by the trusts as compensation
for the support of that party, it would
he shorn of its prestige and power.
These are the reasons why the projec.
tors of trusts and the leaders of the
republican party are "clleek by jowl."
1t is clear case of self protection,
neither organization can survive with
out the cooperation of the other; they
are corrupt and rotten to the core, and
should and will be suppressed if reason
and justice prevail at the coming fall
elections.

Love Of Liquor Not Hereditary.
Z Professor Sims Woodhead, speaking
before the Society For the Study of

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

tons involving certain altered and
weakened inhibitory powers are trans.
mitted from generation to generation.

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
strongly maintain that what was 30
often spoken Of as an inherited taste
for alcohol was an inherited weakness
and lessened self restraint affecting
many other things besides drink and
that direct transmission of the taste
for alcohol from parents to children
in constitution otherwise healthy did
not occur. AS with tuberculosis, the
disease was not transmitted, but only

Pleaded Guilty to the Charge.

Fort Dodge, Ia, June 15.-In the
United States district court there was
an unexpected turn in the case of Sam
uel Pickett. The charge against him
was the use of mails for fraudulent
purposes, his particular graft being
the swindling Of theatrical advance
agents. When the jury was empaneled
Pickett arose and pleaded guilty to the
charges, thus astonishing his attorneys,
who knew nothing Of his purpose. Sub
sequently it developed that there were
officers In Fort Dodge with papers for
his arrest on various charges. from four
states. Pickett recognized some of
the officers, and fearing results, en-
tered a plea Of guilty in the case
against him. Judge Shiras sentenced
the prisoner to one year and one day
in the state Denitentiary.
