MAN MOVEMENT.

Australia, in 1862 by ship sent out for
that purpose, is dying at the county hospi-
tai. He is one of the seven men convicted

various English prisons until 1867 when he,

Catalpa was fitted out for voyage to Aus
tralia to rescue O'Reilly and the others con-
Victed with him, but before it's arrival
o Reilly had escaped at night in an open
boat and was picked up at sea by the Ga
zelle, an American whaler. A few weeks
later the Catalpa arrived off Van Dieman's

ions. Hogan, who has lived in Chicago for
more than quarter of a century, has been

about the language, and reading of the

false notions of hilahila stand between him

The Society for the Suppression of Alco-

question affects all classes here, from the
lowest to the highest. The poor drink gin

forms. With the students drinking has
gradually become regular sport, and the

WILL FIGHT EXPORT TAX,
wisconsin Icemen Preparing for n
Struggle With the State.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, November 25.-Indi-
cations point to an interesting fight be-
tween the ice companies and the state
The last legislature passed law taxing
the ice companies 10 cents for each ton of
ice shipped out of the state. The com
panies made hard figh. against the BILL
but were unable to prevent its passage
The bill provides that all companies or
individuals intending to cut ice for ship
ment out of the state must apply for
license from the secretary of state prior to
September 1. This provision has been ig-
nored. None of the companies has made
such application and though the secre-
tary of state would be accommodating
enough TO date back the licenses provided
they were asked for. the companies show
no desire to take advantage Of this op-
portunity.
1t is learned that two companies who
ship out thousands of tons of ice each
season will proceed with their cutting this
winter as usual. and let the state initiate
proceedings. Then the law will be taken
into the courts on the ground that it Is
unconstitutional.

would mean the solution Of the social ques-
tion and deal a heavy blow to tuberculosis
The speaker went on TO remark that the
campaign against drink was unsuccessful
because here in Germany, as in England
indeed people are financially interested in
II. The state itself derived tremendous
revenues from methylated spirit and beer.
Germany, moreover, had introduced alcohol
into her colonies. Was il not dreadful that
one-third Of her imports into TogOland and
one-seventh Of those into German East
Africa consisted OF alcohol drink? The mil
itary authorities had for a long time been
endeayoring to put a stop TO drinking. The
late Emperor William, as long ago 1862,
gave orders that the soldiers were to have
coffee supplied to them instead of brandy.
and on recruits being enrolled and reserV-
lists dismissed the sale OF drink at the
stations was strictly prohibited. Generals
Count Won Haseler and Won Lindequist had
strictly prohibited the sale of brandy in all
the canteens in Lorraine and Hesse-NaS-
sau. Moltke was strict teetotaler and
was one Of the first members Of the society.
In the thirty soldiers homes and In the
similar Institutes for sailors, no alcoholic
drinks were served. If officers gave their
men good example drunkenness would
disappear from the German army AT the
recent maneuvers large quantities Of tea
were served to the troops, and the con-
sumption of aerated waters was increas-

featured on board his ma jesty's ships On
the Vineta in one year 1900 bottles of

subject of measures taken to remedy the

Long and short Hair.

Homer wrote of the long haired Greeks
by way of honorable distinction Suisse
quently the Athenian cavalry and all Lace
daemonian soldiery wore long hair The
Parthians and ancient Persians wore long
flowing hair. The Franks and ancient Teu-
tons considered long hair a mark of high
birth. The Goths looked on long hair as a
mark of honor and on short hair as a
mark of thralldom; so did the Gauls, for
which reason Julius Caesar, when he sub
dued them. obliged them to cut their hair
short in token of submission. In England
judges, the speaker OF the house of COM
mons and at one time the bishops. wore
long hair. while criminals and paupers wore
short, hair. On the other hand Jewish
priests during their time of service had
their hair cut once fortnight, and Roman

CITY OF TOOTHLESS PEOPLE.
St. Petersburg VIII Soon Offer SpIen
did Chances for Dentists.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
St. Petersburg is slowly becoming city
of toothless people. The Russian capital
should be and eventually will be removed
to Moscow mainly on that account This.
at least, is the opinion of prominent mer
chant of the city on the banks of the Neva,
who says he has heard much talk along
that line in the last few years.
Vladimir Zorokoff, tea importer of ST
Petersburg, who is in town, exhibits a
mouth devoid of teeth to show the eff acts
of the climate of his city. He says the
sight of a person similarly afflicted is a
common one there. st. Petersburg citizens
are readily identified in any part of the
empire, he says, by the absence Of many or
all of their teeth.
There are two reasons for this condition
The first NJ. Zorokoff gives Is the atmos-
phere of the capital city. The vaIAfs that
arise from the marshes of the Neva have
the effect of producing decay of the teeth
Whether there is some deleterious chemical
property in the vapors has not been discov-
cred, but the result is declared to be due
to the efffuvia from the swamps. The sec
ond reason is the scarcity of good dentists
The science of dentistry is practically un-
known in the city or the nation.
st Petersburg offers an unsurpassed
Held for good American dentists said NJ
Zorokof Perhaps by excellent treatment
and the use OF preservatives the teeth of
my fellow citizens could be saved The
city was largely built on land that had been
filled in, and the climate was never very
healthful. While st. Petersburg is the cap
ital, the center of culture, wealth and re-
finement of the country still remains at
Moscow
Gear Nicholas is himself said to be fear
ful of losing all his teeth, having had much
trouble to keep them in good order From
this fact, think, the sentiment that is be-
ing formed in favor of e-establishins the
capital in the city where it was in oIden
times WILL IN time result in the abandon
ment of st. Petersburg as the imperial city,
IN no other center of population in Rus
sia is the decay of teeth SO noticeable as in
the capital. 1t is only during the past ten
years mat the subject has attracted gen.
eral attention, and recently the feeling that
the seat of government should be changed
has been growing among the upper class. I

an attendant and later clerk in charge OF
the Office funds. This is the second time
a defalcation has occurred in that office in

Taken From Time to Time.
The shortage is said to have been oc-
casioned by the theft from time to time OF
small amounts from the cash balance

asylum for small cash payments. When
Quinn's accounts were examined it was
found the cash drawer contained between
$500 and $500 and that his books, as near
as could be determined, had been kept
faithfully. The shortage is confined to the
cash balance and does not involve any
other feature of the clerks accounts.

of face value more than the amount of
money taken, and that this stock could be
availed of to offset the defalcation.
