The London Pail Mall Gazctte'a
Paris correspondent writes "A mo-
mentous decislo1-in appoarance-has
been taken by the chamber In casual
kind Of way. The manufacture and
sale Of abslnthe and the other decoc-
tons that 80 by the name OF appetite
ers are to be forbidden in France. Such.
at any rate. is the purport OF an
amendment tackled on TO the Drink
bill that has Just been voted. The
government is invited to issue de-
cree tabooing all drink OF which the
consumption. in the opinion OF the
Academy OF Medicine. Is a danger to
the public health. The realization OF
this revolutionary measure. OF which
the author was. very fttingly. So
cialist. is. OF course. impraetlcabe. The
government will quietly ignore the in-
yitation they have received. and the
chamber will have sufficient sense TO
forget its bootless vote. Not, indeed.
that there ia not much TO be said for
the measure in itself. but TO suppress
the practice OF drinking Aporltifs by a
stroke OF the pen Is as feasible as It
woussl be to abolish smoking by royal
proclamation. During the past
twonty years the habit has attained TO
appalling proportions In France. II Is
calculated that in Paris alone some
100000 persons consider II impossible
TO dine until after they have swallowed
so-called appetizer. Many people In
dulge in the habit before lunch as we'll
as before dinner. and needless to say
that the number Of those who are not
content with a single drink is legion.
Tho consumption OF aperitifs in Paris
after increasing for many years at the
rate OF 10000 hectolitros year, has OF
late gone up by leaps and bounds. and
the annual increase is now 10000 hec-
tolltres. There are no two opinions
as TO the fact that these aporiufs.
among which ahsinthe Is no worse than
the many varieties OF blttsra. represent
the very dlrost form OF alcoholic pol
soning. The healthiest persons can
not swallow these lethal decoetlons
with impunity: they are a sure cause
OF nervous disease and physical deEen-
Grafton. The rayages they are causing
In France are universally recognised.
A serious effort to grAppie with tho
evil ia assursdly imperative; unhap-
PLY, the vote OF the Chamber is not

CARNEGIE AT GOLF.
n. Brote rrleud'hlr because the
Game Was Detid-d.


It is probable that Harry vardou.
the golf champion. will have for
midable competitor for the honors OF
the links next season. for II Is an
nounced that Andrew Carnegie will
spend the coming summer In this
country and devote his spare time to
playing golf. OF which he Is passion
ately fond. lie proposes building a
summer home In the Westchestor hills
80 as to be near the ST. Andrews Golf
club. says the Chicago Chronicle. Car
negie Is an enthusiast on the subject
OF golf and is a vigorous foe OF what
ever might tend toward the creation Of
a semi-professlonal class In the game.
II was because Of golf that Carnegie
once had his only serious mlsund r
standing with Charles NJ. schwab. who
was at that time superintendent and Is
now president OF the Carnegie steel
company.
Although schwab had known Car
negie intimately for n number OF years.
he was not aware Of the Scotchman's
fondness for his national game. Golf
was then Just being introduced In this
country. and was regarded by the un-
initiated as foolish and objectless
sort Of game. schwab held this opln-
ion. Carnegie had his office In the
Pittsburg works. and schwab was a
frequent visitor to the holy OF holles.
as the Scotchman's sanctum was re-
garded. On the occasion OF one OF
these visits he found Carnegie engag-
ed In reading lengthy article on
golf. The shrewd old man looked up
when schwab entered. and without
waiting to hear what the latter wanted,
asked; Charles. what do you think OF
this game golf?" Schwab can b. pro-
fame at times. This was one Of the oe-

Mobile, Aug. l5.--The average veloc-
fey of the wind here since early this
morning has been 40 miles an hour
and the greatest 80. 1t has rained i'm
cessantly since last Wednesday night.
Water in the river has been backed up
and is.up to Water street at the cross
ing of Cont. All mills north of One
Mile creek and foundries and boiler
making establishments in the southern
part of the city have been forced to shut
down. Wharves along the bay have
suffered considerably.
Reports from Coden and Portersvilie
say that the shell road was overfowed
to some depth and several families were
compelled to move further into the in-
terror.
The wind continued all day at an av-
erage of 40 miles an hour with frequent
puffs of 10 miles faster, showing great
strength. The river overfowed the
cotton wharf on front and Commerce.

Atlanta, Aug. 16.-The tropical storm
which has been raging along the gulf
coast, for two days completely isolated
the city of Mobile, Ala, from the out
side world last night. 1t is known that
considerable damage has been done along
the water front in Mobile, but whethe
there has been loss of life or not is mere
conjecture. Nothing has been heard
from the country south of Mobile up to
the time the last wire to Mobile failed.
At 4:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon
the Western Union Office was aban-
doned, the water at that time being
three feet deep in the operating room.
Two hours later communication was
had for a few minutes with Mobile.
The Associated Press operator there had
made his way to the operating room in
boat. He took up his switch on top
of the switchboard several feet above
the flooded office and detaching the AS
ISOLATED Press wire from its place in the
board sent this message:

New Orleans, Aug. 16.-While the
storm which has been sweeping the gulf
coast from Pensacola and moving west
ward during the past two days, has
done great damage in this city from
high water and wind. The greatest
fears are entertained for the safety of
the people living at Port Eads, which is
at the mouth of the river and for the
ships that started for the sea just before
the storm began. The wires to Port
Eads have been Frustrated since Tues
day night at 8 o'clock, but a reporter
found a man who left Port Eads early
on Wednesday. He was seen at Buras,
which is so miles down the river, and
the farthest point with which there is
wire communication at the present time.
This man describes the storm which
swept that section as regular tidal
wave, similar to the one which resulted
in such awful loss last year. He said
all the people living on the east bank of
the river had moved up to the Jump"
which Is 10 miles from the mouth of
the river.
The house Of a man named Cob
den, half mile above the quarantine
station was swept away and the 10 MEM
bers of the family, including nine chill
dren, were drowned.
The quarantine buildings were badly
damaged but no one injured.
The big tow boat Chamberlain was
driven high and dry in the marsh but
her crew are safe.
The government boat General Refs is
believed to have been lost.
Captain O'Brien's house was swept
away but he was on the boat which
was believed to be outside.
The piledriver at Port Eads was sunk.
The steamboat Buras was driven
ashore near the lighthouse and later it
was reported that she was sunk. Her
crew was said to have been saved.
The tugboat Velasco went down TO
mouth of the river, with two barges.
When last seen she had her decks awash
and is believed to have gone down. If
this boat and her bsrges have been
lost, 30 people have been drowned.
There are numerous reports Of indi-
vidual casualties all along the river from
Buras down to the passes.
Up to midnight last night everything
seemed to be safe at the Mississippi
coast towns, Bay st. Louis, Pass Chris
tian, Biloxi, Mississippi City and Ocean
Springs, but since then not word has
been heard from them. All wires are
down but no great fear is entertained.
The only report Of damages so far re-
ceived are of destroyed bath houses and
uprooted trees.
There has been much damage done at
Shell Beach, q settlement on Lake
Borgne, which is southeast of this city
and connects with Lake Pontchartrain.
All the buildings there have been swept
away and there are reports Of loss Of life
among the fishermen. but the exact ex-
tent of this is not known. A tidal wave
swept over the land there as it did nine
years ago.
At West End the lake rushed over the
settlement and destroyed nearly all the
residences there.
The pavilion at Lake View was pound
ed to pieces by wreckage washed up by
the waves.
