The Judicial Calm OF Historic Judg-
ment,

Admiral Schley was recently elected
to honorary membership OF the Ma
tional Army OF Spanish War Veterans
by his comrades OF the Gloucester Ma
val Command, Brooklyn, N. Y. Ex-
pressing his appreciation of the honor
he admiral writes his comrades:
The comradeship growing out Cf
equal exposure to the perils of war has
been in all ages held sacred, and hold
it in high honor to have been deemed
worthy Of the great distinction OF hon
orary membership in an organization
of my comrades who shared equally
with me the dangers Of that July day in
'9S off Santiago, and who deserve as
much credit as myself for the blessed
work they did for flag and country on
that historic day. Touching the mat
ter Of your reference 10 a medal, l
have always believed that nations
ought OF right to perpetuate the great
events OF their history rather than those
of the lives of participants, and leave to
the judicial calm OF historic jud sment
to perpetuate in bronze those who may
have honored themselves by deeds Of
honor wrought for home, for flag, fol
country. No, my maxim has beer
steadtastly, through nearly half cen
fury of service, my country, first, last
and all the time, after my love of God.
"The judicial calm Of historic judg,
ment" will apparently have in it's keep
ing reward for "the deeds of honor
wrought for home, for flag, for coun
try" by some other devoted servants o.
the republic. They do not seem like
ly to get their reward at the presen
time, from the existing official regime
at Washington.

Pardon for an offense involving the
loss OF 100000 by fraudulent use of
funds of which the offender was the
custodian, after serving in prison one
year of seven years penalty, looks
like trihing with justice, like disregard
for the safety OF the property interests
of the community at large. Tie full
term of the sentence looked grotesque-
ly inadequate and inconsistent with the
degree of punishment provided for
much smaller offences. And the man
ner of the punishment, more life Of
elegant leisure than is lived by nine
hundred and ninety-nine men out OF
any average one thousand of humanity

Tragedy in a Single Drop.

The late Professor Henry Drummond
1sed to tell this story: Il know a man
who was temperance lecturer In his
early days he had been a great drunkard,
but he was reformed, and had got consid-
arable notoriety as platform speaker in
one of our large cities BY trade he was a
ylasscutter One day, many years after
he had been confirmed Christian, as
everyone thought, a servant girl brought
INTO his place of business decanter with
broken neck, and asked him to cut it
smooth. He took up the bottle to see
what was wrong; the fumes of the brandy
came out OF the neck and went into his
Drain. He turned the decanter upside
1own, and got drop of the fluid upon
his finger, and put it to his lips. 1t set
his brain on fire He went to the nearest
public house and got drunk That was the
beginning OF a very bitter and disgracefu
end"

Traced to Drink,

W, Bode, German doctor saws: Cover
seers of the poor, especially in North Ger
many, have often declared that from fifty
to ninety per cent. OF all the poverty can
be traced to drink. Drunkenness is fur
thermore the chief source of vagabondage
among seventy-seven per. cent; OF the
tramps. A great proportion of the ex-
pense of hospitals and of sick funds is
owing to this cause. 1t shortens life among
at least ten per cent. of the men, often
very considerably. Investigations among
the. English bic insurance societies. which
keep separate tables for their moderate
drinking patrons and for those who to-
tally abstain, as we'll as recent statistics
Of the causes of death in Switzerland, fur
nish plain testimony on this point. In
temperance is also a cause of the mortality
among children, since the children of in
temperate parents have little endurance,
Or die for want of care. Among twelve
per cent. of the suicides drink is one of
;he causes. A considerable number of ac-
,idents are also to be traced to thi
source"

THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF lNTEMPERANcE.
Alcohol in Childhood - Its Admin istratior
to Sick or Healthy Children is to Be
Discountenanced Under All Circum-
stances-Weakens the Intellect

Alcohol In Childhood - It's Administration
to Sick or Healthy Children is to Be
Discountenanced Under All Circum-
stances-Weakens the Intellect.
Concerning the use of alcohol in child
hood DIR. Kassowitz (Deutsche Medicinal
Zeitung) concludes as follows
l. Severe functional disturbances (de-
lirium tremens alcoholic mania, epilepsy
and organic changes (anasarca, enlarge
ment of the liver) have been observed by
the author and others after the continued
use of alcohol.
.. These diseases occurred not only af-
ter the use of brandy and excessive doses
of other alcoholic drinks, but also after
the use of ordinary amounts of wine and
beer, and even after such small doses of
cognac as are usually considered not only
harmless, but even curative.
B. From these results we must conclude
that the nervous system in childhood is
extremely, sensitive to the poisonous eff
fects of alcohol.
A.. The administration of alcoholic
drinks to children is permitted in the
best regulated families in the belief that
small doses cure weakness and diseased
conditions. 1t is easily demonstrated,
however, that this idea Is absolutely
wrong.
5. Physiological experiments have dis
proved the former views that alcohol is Il
food and prevents body waste; the excre-
ton OF urea is increased rather than di-
minished during the administration of al
cohol.
g. From this it may be concluded that
the protracted use of alcohol prevents the
growth and development of the child
l. Even as an appetizer alcohol is use
less. since experiments have shown that
1t dlsturbs rather than aids digestion
8. As an antipyretic alcohol is useless.
because even after the administration of
doses ia lint
slightly.
g.. Researches have shown that the
muchlauded stimulating effect of alcohol
either does not occur or is very passing
but that slow degree of depression or
the muscles and nerves takes place The
use of alcohol, therefore, for the preven-
tion and treatment of cardiac weallness in
childhood has no scientific foundation
10. The internal administration OF al
cohol as an antiseptic-that is, as a hac-
tericidal agent, in acute infectious dis
eases-is not rational. Experiments have
shown that during its administration the
resistance against infection is diminished
rather than increased, and that alcohol is
too quickly oxidized to have any bacterici-
dal power.
II. In school children, even after a mod
crate use, the weakening effect upon the
intellect was evident.
II. From the foregoing i'll effects of
even moderate amounts of alcohol the adj
ministration of alcoholic drinks to healthy
or sick children is under al circumstances
to be discountenanced.-Me Record.

The Crusade In Erief.

The demand for temperate men and alb
stainers is more imperative every year.
At Cincinnati the Catholic Knights of
Ohio almost unanimously rejected propo-
sition to amend their bylaws SO as to ad-
NIT to membership saloonkeepers.
A much more stringent control over
publicaus is needed and there should be
decisive penalties both for drunkards and
for those who tempt them to this sin.

License Endorses.

A singular episode has transpired ir
Chicago which opens another door of light
on the saloon question. 1t appears that
license for $500 is extracted from clairvoy-
ants. War is being made on the matter,
and for the reason that to license clair.
voyance is to recognize it, 'legalize it,
and give it a certain respectability.' Ex-
actly. That is precisely what the license
does, whether it be mountebank clair
voyant or hell-filling saloon.-Central

Anaconda, May 29.-Maggie Bren-

Repairing watches is an easy task
now compared to what it was when
learned the trade" says a watchmak-
er. "As far as American-made watches
are concerned, there is practically no
necessity in making anything any
more, for all the parts are sold by the
factories, and can be replaced instant
ly without any labor, excepting of
course that required in taking the
watch apart, replacing the injured or
broken part. and putting it together
again. This is an advantage in favor
of the American watch, and is what is
slowly but surely, driving the Swiss
watch out of our market. The Swiss
watch manufacturers will not sell
parts by the quantity to the trade.
The result is that when new parts are
needed to repair Swiss watch it haS
to be made outright"

Is Placed in Sanitarium-No Money
Nor Friends.
BY Associated Press:
San Francisco, May 29-The par
don of Alexander Mckenzie was Sc
cured by the complete submission of
that gentleman to the circuit court of
appeals by complying with all it's Or
ders, and the offering of an humble
apology to Judge Morrow, whose direct
order was disobeyed by Mckenzie
while acting as receiver in the sew
eral Cape Nome mining cases, under
the appointment of Judge Arthur
Noyes, territorial judge of Northern
Alaska.
Mckenzie would not have received
his pardon from the president, it
seems, without taking all these steps
and hence the concessions-al-
though perhaps it would be unfair to
say that Mckenzie has been complete
ly humbled with his experiences at
the hands of these national court
judges.
Mckenzie, is completely broken in
health, suffering from nervous pros
tration and some serious complication
OF heart troubles.
The desperate game in which Nc
kenzie has been engaged for the last
year up in Alaska with the supple
mental consequences of an experience
in this city, which has deprived him
of his fortune, has come near killing
the man outright, so that one who
knew Mckenzie in the naughty days
of his political rule in North Dakota
and the independent air with which he
treated even United States court
orders with absolute contempt and
disregard in Cape Nome would never
know the Mckenzie who left the Ala
media Jail, where he has been incar-
cerated for nearly four months-and
proceeded to private sanitarium,
where he will remain until be is COM
pletely recovered.
Indeed, those who knew Mckenzie
best say that he is not only a mental
and physical wreck, but that he has
lost the most of his property, as his
legal expenses have been extraordin-
ary since this litigation began, and he
comes out of this Cape Nome venture
not only without money, but without
friends.
