The Garrison woman was arrested last
night on the complaint of Mcdonald. He
claimed she had relieved him of the
money in question. At the city jail he
blandly stated to Night Jaiier Shay that
he had been touched for IS. Shay asked
"dollars?" and was surprised when Nc
Donald answered, mo. cents"
Then the Garrison woman admitted the
charge and stated that she had offered
the cheap man. rs cents of his money
back, but that he had refused it and
wanted all or nothing.
When the Garrison woman was ar
raigned this morning she told Judge
Boyle the circumstances of the case, and
then Mcdonald was called to testify. =
He failed to answer to his name, and
Judge Boyle took the matter under adj
visement, later dismissing the charge
and ordering the release of the woman.
About 30 minutes after the court adj
journed Mcdonald appeared. Mcdonald
wanted his watch and chain, which he
had deposited with Jailer Shay as bond
for his appearance to prosecute the
woman. He was told by. Judge Boyle
that the bond had been declared for
feited.
Then Mcdonald got angry. In prOfane
terms he expressed his opinion of a court
that held such short sessions. He had
oversight, he said, and thought he was
being unjustly treated.
The patience of Judge Boyle was sorely
tried, but he was easy on Mcdonald and
referred him to the city attorney, there
to make an appeal for the cancellation
of the bond forfeiture.
At a late hour Mcdonald was still en-
deavoring to regain possession of his
timepiece and chain.
When Eva Jackson was arraigned,
charged with being a person of evil life,

MAYOR WARS ON ALCOHOL.
Chief Magistrate of Lyons, France Seeks to Curb Intemperance
 of His City.

Dr. Angagneur, who is mayor Of Lyons, France, as well as a professor in college, has issued a drastic or der prohibiting the establishment of all new public houses within 25O or other religious building. The rea- sons for this order he gives in these words:
 ''When I was elected mayor of Lyons I was struck by the great number of public houses in the town. There are no fewer than $500, and that means one for every so inhab- itants or for every three houses, and every day we receive applica tions to be allowed to open more.
 q resolved to stop the growing wave of alcoholism, and I sought some means of preventing the crea- tion of new public houses. I found it in the law of 1880, which contains an article stating in substance that the mayor of town, after consult ing the municipal council, can refuse to authorize the creation of public houses within 25O yards of religious edifices, schools and cemeteries.
 "We have, as you know, recently voted the suppression of the octroi taxes and their replacement by an increase in the cost of public house licenses.
 ''In addition to preventing the in crease of new public houses we have found in the law of 1880 the means of compensati ting to some extent the present proprietors of cafes and wine shops, for in prohibiting the opening of new houses we render their prop erty more valuable.
 ''In the decision which I have taken the members of the council are unan- imously with me. The measure has nothing to do with politics, but is issued entirely in the interest of the public health. The population of Lyons has no illusion on the subject and is with us heart and soul"

GASOLINE EXPLOSION.

A series of gasolene explosions in the experimental room of the Frank lin Electric company in Hartford Friday, caused loss of $6,OO0. Mr. Mover was horribly burned and died Friday night. On the upper floor were two girls at work. John War ing, president of the company, who was at work in the building, went immediately to the assistance of the girls, but they seeing only one way to save their lives, broke the win dows with their fists and jumped to the ground. MT. Waring, with his clothing on fire went up the stairs, but finding the girls had escaped, re- turned and went outside, where he rolled in the grass and tried to ex- tinguish the flames. He was badly burned and died Saturday.

Moderate Drinkinx

The dictum of science, then, on the subject of moderate drinking is by no means ambiguous. Science cannot support the plea that alcohol is a harmless pleasant beverage. It can- not support the plea of the mod crate thinker that alcohol is an aid to health. But it does support the position of the total abstainer with m emphasis which it is culpable to disregard. Science shows how the abstainer can do more and better work than the moderate thinker. Science shows how the abstainer lives longer and is healthier than the mod crate drinker. Science. in short, sh ows that the abstainer lives the normal life while the moderate drink CT lives the bnormal.-Thomas East on. M. D.. in Health.

HEREDITARY ALCOHOLISM.
Careful, Scientific Study Shows That 1t Is Present i'm Over so Per
 Cent, of All InebriateS.

A careful study of many cases by various observers shows that heredi- ty is the most prominent cause and is present in over so per, cent. of all inebriates. Another active factor, more apparent and controllable in the problem of inebriety, is that of marriage. At present the indiscrim- mate marriages are largely infiuen- tial in intensifying and continuing the alcoholic stream. Criminals, pau pers, inebriates and others notori- ously far down on the road to dis solution are permitted to marry and raise children freighted with a truly frightful legacy of degeneration. It is this defective heredity increased and intensified by marriages with equally bad stock that is the great fountain spring from which inebriety comes. Alcohol, of all other drugs, seems to intensity and provoke dis ease and the most favorable S0ndi- tions for the destruction of cell and nerve force.
 Heredity leaves a feebleness of these centers, with often strong predisposition for alcohol, which may
 
 great activity upon taking the first glass of spirits. Injury and disease may be followed by the derangement of these higher brain centers, and the narcotic action of alcohol affords grateful and seductive relief.
 The study of alcoholic cases shows that over two-thirds of all inebriates have a history of previous degenera- tion both of the brain and nervous system before spirits were first used. The largest proportion of these cases come from alcoholic, insane, con- sumptive and other neurotic an cestors. The remainder have a marked history of disease, injury, brain strains, shocks and states of profound exhaustion, from which they have apparently recovered, al- though followed by the use of spirits.
 Persons with such history show great susceptibility to the action of alcohol. The effects are grateful and as pronounced as opium when it quiets the painful nerve. The first action of alcohol quickening the brain circulation, then slowing it, numbing and paralyzing the sensory centers, giving the impression of com fort and approach to health that the victim is unable to correct. The use of alcohol is quickly followed by a train of degeneration that is always concealed in the early stages and is unrecognized by the victim and often by his friends.
 The disease of inebriety is clearly associated with criminality. In both a progressive degeneration of the higher moral centers of the brain goes on with steady decline of all brain vigor and health. No other drug is known to science which has so pro11inent an influence over the highest And last formed elements of brain force and structure. No other part of the brain is so quickly dam aged and diseased by alcohol and concealed by delusions of the senses. pr. T. D. Brothers, in Union Signal.

The second picture reveals the Drink Demon unmasked. What a shocking contrast! Instead of the fair creature smilingly beckoning us on, we unconsciously recoil from the writhing, insidious monster that thrusts it's head from the pool of sin, and would strike it's poison fangs into our flesh and send the deadly virus coursing through our veins, bringing palsy and death. Surely it is not a pleasant picture to look upon, for as one gazes, fas- cinated by it's very awfulness, he sees passing in kaleidoscope review

Look not thou upon the wine when 1t is red, when it giveth his color in the cup, when it moveth itself alright. At the last 1t biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like An adder-Prov. g 331-32)
 This text contains an epitome of the whole history of the drink evil. Wisdom concisely and wildly sets before us two word pictures that graphically portrays, first the Drink Demon, with sparkling eye and witch ing countenance, arrayed in gar ments of attractive beauty and pos ing in the most enticing and grace ful movements, drawing after her in mad infatuation the multitudes who heed not the warning cry of Look not thou.''

Can it be that these two pictures are companion piac4s? Has not Wisdom intensified and heightened the coloring of the pictures? How often in gazing on a brilliant land scape scene, in which the vivid col brings of the sky overhead and the hill and dale beneath, covered with 1uxuriant verdure, and the sparkling stream coursing down to the sea seemed overdrawn, we have said: "I never saw such vivid 1ines." Prob ably not, for though having eyes, we have not behe1d the wondrous beau ties that have been revealed to the sensitive perception of the faithful artist So Wisdom, with unclouded vision, penetrates the disguise of the Drink Demon and beholds what is withheld from our own eyes because we are blinded by our own conceits and lusts. Having eyes we see not. Let Wisdom out of the Book of books be eyes for us and speak won drous things to us.
 * *
 Wisdom sees the beginning and the end; the first step taken in thought less, careless fascination, and the last staggering plunge over the preci- pice of unbridled appetite and lust. There may be years between the two experiences. But Wisdom, with un- erring vision, beholding that young man, that young woman, with the sparkling wine glass in the uplifted hand, looks down the years of indul- gence and sees that the enticing cup has become the enslaving curse, and the Drink Demon, disguise no longer necessary, with hissing glee casts aside the mask and coils about it's victim for the last crushing squeeze and deadly sting.
 < x $
 Look not thou" What harm can a look do? I want to see if it does sparkle, if it giveth it's color in the cup and moveth itself enticingly. Look not thou," says Wisdom. A look means taste, a taste means a passion, and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death. Pope says:
 Vice is a monster of so frightful mien. As, to be hated, needs but to be seen; Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face We first endure, then pity, then embrace
 Look not thou,' for ''at the last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder"
