Alcoholism.

Alcoholism
 A discussion of this subject took place at the last meeting of the New York Academy of Medicine, as re ported in the Medical Record. The president, Charles L. Dana, NJ. D., in uoduced the discussion with some general remarks, in the course oi which he said that as rule the drunk. ard did not live more than fifteen years, and it was seldom that the human organism could survive more than 5000 intoxications.
 Dr. Herman NJ. Briggs spoke upon this aspect of the question. He said that the majority of alcoholic patients at Bellevue gave history of taking from one to three drinks of whisky N and from four to five pints of beer a day. In the last twenty-five years lager beer has largely replaced the weiss beer formerly used in Germany and during this period the death late from disease of the kidneys has greatly increased. These facts appeared to ind their explanation in the change in the type of drinking, i. e., this com bination of spirituous and malt lie uors.
 Dr. Allen Starr said that in the ma jOrity of individuals sherry produced quarrelsome mood, while or the other hand, port tended to e,;ert a soothing effect Champagne proc uced apparently decided exhiliratic ot the flow of thought, while Berg indy made one think more slowly and by no means added to the feeling of con. vitality. Whisky, brandy and gin had very different effects on the in- dividual; hence, we should rememoer that we were not dealing with the et- fects of alcohol per SC, but with its ei- fects in certain combinations. There was no known disease of the spinal cord produced by alcoholism, although we knew of distinct effects upon the nerves and upon the brain as a result of alcoholism. The alcohol seemed to affect the parts of the brain which were most highly organized and de- Yeloped. The highest centers were the ones first attacked; the interme- diate centers and the lower centers of the brain and the spinal cord did not seem to be specially susceptible to al cohol. The pathology of alcoholic in, sanity was today most clear and dis tinct. Berkely had shown that the al- cohol acted upon the brain by dissoIv- ing, as it were, the dendrites and so render the cells incapable of receiving impulses from other cells; hence, the Iack of coordination and loss of mem- Ory, so evident In all conditions of chronic alcoholic insanity.
 Dr. $. A. Knopf said that alcoholism was a pronounced factor in tuOercu losis. Statistics showed that twenty i've per cent of children committed to sanatOria for the treatment of scrofu- lous and tuberculosis diseases had al- coholic parents. It should be remem- Oered that there was very prevalent opinion among the laity, and to a cer- tain extent among physicians, that alcohol was most important agent iu the treatment of consumption. If al- cohol were given in quantities sufii- cient to control the temperature, It would convert the phthisical patient into an alcoholic. As to the treatment of lnebriates the speaker said that he approved of moral suasion, arguments and hypnotic suggestion. Poor tene- ments and poor cooking were potent factors in the production of alcohol Ism.-Public Opinion.

ADJUSTMENTS,

"MAZEPPA."-The attraction to follow
Helene Mora and Hydes Comedians at
Chase's Theater next week, beginning with
the Monday matinee, will, 1t Is expected,
prove pleasant surprise to the patrons of
that house 1t Is no less than Leavitt &
Lederer's spectacular revival of Ma
zeppa; or, The Wild Horse of Tartary." The
celebrated equestrian drama is founded on
Lord Byron's famous poem descriptive of
the wild ride of Jan Mazeppa across the
plains strapped to the back of wild Tartar
horse as punishment for a crime. Old
theatergoers will distinctly remember the
great success attained throughout this
country and Europe in "Mazeppa" by the
famous actress Of the sixties, Adah Isaacs
Menken. 1t was one of the big hits of
the times, and occupies prominent place
In stage history. OF course, the version
Of "Mazeppa' used by Menken is not the
one to be presented at Chase's. That is
too old-fashioned. Taking the fearful ride
made so familiar in song and story for the
central idea, an entirely new "Mazeppa'
has been written by Robert Griffin Morris.
The production will be in spectacular form,
with descriptive tableaux and startling
scenic effects Vaudeville features appro-
pirate to the period will be introduced. Mr.
Chase unites with Messrs. Leavitt & Led
erer in the promise that the enactment of
the play will not be made subservient to
the spectacular features, and that the large
company is composed of competent actors
especially engaged with the view of secur-
ing the proper atmosphere

VERDICT FOR DEFENDANT,
Outcome of Suit to Rectify Alleged
Mistake.

A sealed verdict in favor of the defendant
was reported today in Circuit Court No. 2,
Justice Ciabaugh, in the case of J. l. Len
hardt of Philadelphia against Lewis Hop
fenmaier of this city, for the purpose of
recovering $500 claimed to have been paid
to the defendant by mistake, in excess of
the amount actually due. The suit grew
out of the act of Congress authorizing the
Secretary Of the Treasury to dispose of old
books and records of that department which
by reason Of their age had ceased to be of
any value or benefit to the government,
and had been stored away in the files of
the treasury for fifty years or more
1t is stated that Mr.. Lenhardt purchased
these records, and Mr.. Hopfenmaier was
engaged to prepare the same and place
them in merchantable condition for ship
ment. Nearly 100000 pounds were removed
under this arrangement for which Mr..
Hopfenmafer turned in bills amounting to
slooO as covering the actual expense Incl
dent to the removal and for which he re-
ceiVed payment from Mr.. Lenhardt Sub
seouently the latter claimed that Mr. Hop
fenmaier was to receive instead of his ex-
penses merely ten cents hundred pounds
and brought suit to recover the $3.50 as hav-
ing been paid by mistake. After a lengthy
trial verdict, as stated was rendered in
favor of Mr.. Hopfenmaier, who was repre-
sented by Attorneys Brandenburg and

Today the doctors said his condition is serf-
Gus, although there was apparently no i'm
