One of the most appalling pictures of
drunkenness in an American city ever
drawn is presented in a formal letter to
the police board of Biddeford, Me-, by
the president and ffty-three other
members of the Womens Christian
Temperance Union. The story seems
almost impossible of belief, and yet the
specifications are so clear that it can
not be disregarded. The women de-
clare that there are, in open and de-
fiant operation, many barrOOms fitted
up and appointed as suitably and gor-
geously as in any of the large license
cities in other states" that more than
twenty are running openly upon the
main street, half a dozen at Smiths
corner, and a number on other specified
streets; that in many places business
is carried on all night, as well as all day
and on Sundays as on week days; that
men women and children are constant
ly entering these places, little boys and
girls going to buy beer and liquor ror
their elders, and often drinking over
the bar themselves; and finally that
Our streets are fiTrrd with drunken
men, women and children, to an extent
that makes the name of our city a by
word" Biddeford is a place of only
about 10000 peOple.-New York Post.

Tbc n.urch of the Caravan.


Perhaps the weirdest and most i'm
pressive of the many unwonted mem
cries that the traveller carries away
with him from travel in the east is the
recollection of the camel caravans
which he has encountered at night
Out of the black darkness is heard
the distant boom of a heavy bell
Mournfully and with perfect regularity
of iteration it sounds, gradually swell
ing nearer and louder and perhaps
mingling with the tones of smaller
bells signaling the rear guard of the
same caravan. The big bell is the in
sigma and alarm of the leading camel
alone.
But. nearer and louder IS the so0nd
becomes. not another sound and not 4
visible object appears TO accompany it,
Suddenly, and without the slightest
warning, there looms out of the dark
ness, like the apparition of phantom
ship, the form OF the captain of the
caravan. His spongy tread sounds
softly on the smooth sand, and like
great string of linked ghouls the 81
lent procession stalks by and is swal-
lowed up i'll the night.-"Persla and the
Persian Question"

The Salmon.

Whether we consider beauty of form
and color, gaminess, food quality or
abundance ana size of individuals, diff
ferent members of the salmon group
stand easily with the first among
fishes. The salmonidG are confined to
the northern hemisphere, and north of
40 degrees they are everywhere album
dant where suitable waters are found.
In North America alone not fewer
than sixty-two species and subspecies
are now recognized by ichthyologists.
Some of the species, especially the lar
ger ones. are marine and anadromous,
living and growing in the sea and en-
tering fresh water only to spawn.
Such are the five species Of salmon of
the west coast of America. Still 9th
ers live in the smaller rivers and run
ming brooks, entering lakes or the sea
as occasion serves, but not habitually
doing so. Such are some of the spe-
cies of trout of the genera salmo and
salvelinus. Others, again. are lake
fishes, approaching the shore or enter
ing brooks i'll the spawning season, at
other times retiring to deeper waters.
OF these are the whltefishes and her
rings of the great lakes and north
ward.-Outing.

Out on the wide veranda of Wash
lngton Manor an italian orchestra was
playing n Hungarian mir. Within the
great white pillared house on the
Daughters of the Perpetual Evolution
was being held in strict accordance
with the traditions Of IN impressive
and patriotic order, Fifty youths in
buff and blue uniforms were fastening
about over the wide lawn with no APP
parent object other than to show their
powdered hair in the clear light Of
day. On the steps were standing some
of the Washingtonian guards, all I'M
conscious of the fact that their uni
forms were modelled after the garb Of
British officers in the reign Of George
III.
Taken all in all, it was a day of tri-
umph for Mrs. James Henry Melton.
She had always longed for ancestors,
and now chat she had established the
fact that she had revolutionary one
her cup of JOY was filed 10 overflow
ing. The house in which she lived had
belonged to an old American family
which had long ago lapscd into hope
less bankruptcy.
The way of Mrs. Melton to prefer
ment as the descendant Of revolution
airy stock had been the road of the
rough, She had at first applied to the
Daughters of the Real Convolution,
who required that all candidates for
admission must be descended in the
male line from an officer who fought in
the war for American independence.
"Shall l send in my family records"
she asked of the secretary Of the order.
at will not be necessary was the
reply. 1--WE have your name, and 1t
will be so easy to find out all about
you, my dear Mrs. Melton"
Mrs. Melton was overcome with
vexation a week later when she re-
ceived notification from the grand sec
rotary that her application could not
be granted for the reason that her an
cestor Colonel Bainbrldge Tarlton, had
DeeH SO unIOrtuHdlS tS " nav 4 NOAh-
manded a regiment of Hessians.
On this disappointment the Daugh-
tiers of the Perpetual Evolution had
been founded and Mrs. James Henry
Melton became the first regent Of a
new chapter. Ancestors from the
feminine side of the house were ac-
copied. She had purchased the old
house on the outskirts of the metropo-
lis, for it was said that General George
Washington had once used it as his
Headquarters 1t was far from Il COM

followed the fortuiios of the Cont
mental army" He was rich and his
mother was actually thinking of fur
nishing the funds for the casting of
| bronze tablets which the daughters
might place on certain public buildings
! In the metropolis.
! &c YOU only had some warlike for
bears" said Isabel Melton TO Dunstan
that afternoon as they sat beneath the
historic oak, Il think that we might
| easily overcome the maternal objec-
lions"
"Mine did not begin fighting until
the Mexican and civil wars" replied
Dunstan. "They became generals and
colonels but, after all, that does l'H'
| count for much. Strange tina, 3 49,
name for the washing soda did not
soften her any"
From the house there issued n babel
of voices. Apparently many express
sions of wonder mingled with the gen
eral uproar. Relays of Daughters hur-
rled from the lawn to the great front
door. Richard Waldovcr Perkins in re-
splendent uniform hurried down the
cindered walk.
"You really must come in," he said.
at Is the most interesting thing you
ever saw. Mr. Melton says he will not
examine them until you come-the pa
pers. you know. \ secret cupboard has
been found near the old mantcl."
Around the fireplace the Daughters
OF Perpetual Evolution had foregath-
cred. The air was filled with eXclama-
tons. In the center of the group was
James Henry Melton, the husband of
the prospective regent, u white wills
kered, benevolent person, waiting to
read an aged yellowed paper.
This house being now completed
he read, 81, Ebenezer Huntington, wish
to say in this year of grace 1900 that it
was built after the independence Of our
country had been achieved, and Mt no
time did 1t serve as Il headquarters for
General George Washington. Only a
few years have passed, yet there are
several hundred evil places, and
Mrs. Melton rushed forward, too late
to stop her husband. Had he known
the contents of that paper and the con-
sequences which it bore he could not
have acted with such remarkable lack
Of diplomacy.
He heard later the views of fearful
woman who sat in a room strewn with
torn and aged papers and still fes-
TONED with the decorations of the
most disastrous reception in all her
days. A certain Mr.. Perkins, who had
found the secret spring by accident,
had just taken hasty and apologize
leave. and under the oak Isabel Melton
and John Dunstan sat looking hopeful
ly at the sky of early spring.

Portable dwelling house at the best,
and Mrs. Melton frowned upon modern
improvements. The rooms were grad
ually filled with strange wares from
antique shops and the building was
dedicated as a perpetual shrine to the
father of his country. There was an
oak out on the lawn which young
French officer had planted. There was
also stately elm supposed to have
been placed there in its infancy by the
hands of the great liberator himself.
The house became the headquarters of
the Daughters of the Perpetual Evolu-
ton, and now there was talk of Sc
lecting Mrs. Melton as the grand re-
gent of the order in the United States.
The organization had grown and Mrs.
Melton was engaged in making per-
sistent avowals of her unworthincss to
be the head of such a distinguished
body. The reception which she was
giving on the day preceding the an
nual election was seized upon by some
of Mrs. Melton's friends as an oppor-
tunity to increase her capital as can
didate.
Under such circumstances and with
her mind upon such large ambitions, it
was exceedingly distasteful to her that
young John Dunstan should persist in
his attentions to her daughter. Isabel
Melton had ideas of her own, and she
had on several occasions expressed I'M
sympathetic opinions of the Daughters
of the Perpetual Evolution. she had
not even asked for admission to the
local chapter. Such heresy rs this Mrs.
Melton could attribute only to the influ-
ence of young Mr.. Dunstan. He made
washing soda which he called by a pa
triotic name. The title was embazoned
on the fences along many miles of
railroad. To Mrs. Melton it seemed
remarkable that daughter Of hers
should look with favor on anybody
who was not of the purest Revolution
airy strain. There was Richard Waldo
yer Perkins, for instance, who fulfilled
every condition of eligibility. He wac

An eminent physician OF London,

TUSCALOOSA.
Burning of s12s.4oo In Bonds an Act
 of Which City Is Pround.

Tuscaloosa, November 2S - (Speeial.o - One of the most important transactions that ever occurred in the history of this city was the burning of sl2e, 400 of old Tuscaloosa bonds in the presence of the board of mayor and aldermen and of the bondholder. Robert M. Bother. president of the Hopkins Place Savings bank of Baltimore. The city was enabled to take up these bonds by the sale of $1z5,OO0 of new refunding bonds. which have been bought by the above named bank.
 The old bonds were redeemable from 1918 to 1923 and bore per cent interest, except s10,00O of per cent bonds. The new bonds bear 5 per cent interest. There are s5o0OO which will run for thirty years and $75,000 which can run for thirty years but are redeemable after 1904 when S5UOO can be taken up and each year thereafter S5000 can be redeemed. By this transac- ton the city retires $l40O worth of bonds absolutely and the new bonds save 70 the city $l45O annually The board of mayor and aldermen are being congratulated on the consummation of this deal
