 person is accused of being an extremist if he seeks the overthrow of the sa- loon curse, but the incidents showing the destructive influence of drink are so common that one must be blind not to see them. The San Francisco Chronicle thus refers to one of the in cidents of life in that city, where sim liar cases are so common as to rarely be noticed
 "Down in the matron's room at the City Prison, last night, there sat a fragile girl of 20 years, her big gray eyes yelled in a mist of tears, her thin, transparent fingers convulsively twisting her handkerchief as she sob- bed out the pitiful story of what brought her there under charge of grand lar ceny.
 ''rhe girl was E. Agnes Adams. daughter of Charles G. Adams. and ill twenty years she has experienced more than life time of sorrow and suffer ing. Bereft of her mother before she was out of short frocl<s, she tried to act as housekeeper for her father and be a mother to the baby brother. She saw her father, a minister of the gospel, succumb to the drink evil, and she suf- fered more at the shame of his uil- frocking than did he With his income cut off, the larder was reduced and the lite girl early learned how tc make one dollar pay two. Then came a time when her father, under the influence of drink, became abusive and violent, but she bore all in silence until the fatal 17th of June last, wher she feared for the lives of her brother and herself. She requested Dr. Johr G. Jessup accompany her home anG aid in quie,ing her father. He did SC and was shot dead by her father. The girl witnessed the tragedy, was oblig- ed to testify against her father, and later witnessed his commitment to the asylum at Agnews, where he is now con fined, demented from drink.
 ''After her fathers commitment she remoued to this city and took rooms at the Gladstone, at the corner of Polk and Eddy streets. Her uncle, w. J. Adams, well-to-do resident of this city, is said to have paid the rent of the room, and other of her father relatives in New York sent them a meager pittance on which they man aged to subsist
 "It was not sickness that caused the waxy transparency of her hands and the paleness of her face-it was want and suffering. She says that she has not been i'll actual want, and her at tempt to speak we'll of those who should have stood between her and the world and given her the protection of home is pitiful. Her brother is a delicate little lad of IA.
 "He is scarcely able to work and she has never learned. She always had plenty until a few months prior to June 17th. Even if she could work she has the care of her brother and could not well leave him, so they have lived on the dole of charity bestowed so stintedly that it apparently was given grudgingly. How many nights the lonely little brother and sister have

The growth of Dawson City is in

wound would be fatal, but DIR. Grimes
recovered, and for twenty years car

The New York papers seem to find a
good deal Of satisfaction in the an
nouncement that the district attorney
of that city is going to make an inves-
tigation of the Park Avenue Hotel dis
aster. Just why there should be an in
vestigation is not wholly apparent.
About all of the facts that will be
brought out in an investigation are all
ready known. The landlord of the no.
tel admits that the law was not COM
piled with in the matter of fire es-
capes for the reason that it was
thought that the hotel was fireproof.
He also admits that there were no ap-
pliances in the halls for putting out
fires. In fact he practically admits that
all laws and regulations for protecting
guests in the event of fire were neg
lected. What more is wanted?
The New York people are great for
Investigations after disasters, but re-
cent occurrences show that very little
attention is paid to the enforcement Of
laws made for the prevention of dis
asters. Not long ago there was a great
explosion of dynamite in front of one
of the largest hotels of the city. An
investigation was at once demanded
although no doubt the officials, whose
duty it was to see to it that no more
than a certain amount of dynamite
kept on hand at any one place, knew
the law was being persistently violated
If the officials had done their duty the
explosion would not have occurred, or
if it had the damage would have been
slight.
Last month there was a great disas-
ter in the tunnel through which the
trains of the New York Central Rail-
way System reach it's station in the
heart of New York city. The cause of
the accident was of course known from
the first, and any intelligent man could
have put his hand on those to blame
for it. Still, there was a demand for
an investigation. The newspapers
seemed to think that it was necessary
to bring out in an investigation facts
that were already known.
IT really looks as if an investigation
were for the purpose of giving public
Indignation a chance to expend itself
and the people to forget the disaster
rather than to find evidence ON which
to punish the guilty parties. If the
punishment of the offenders against
the law was the object aimed at it
would seem as if the facts in hand
would be utilized, and indictments
found without waiting the result of a
long inquiry.

THE ATLANTA DEPOT QUESTION.

If the objections which observer"
makes to the states site for union
depot in Atlanta, in an article which
he contributes to the Constitution of
that city are well founded, it would
seem as if the Atlanta people nave not
given the subject all of the considera-
tion to which its Importance entities it,
In fact, the site in question is far
from meeting all of the demands of
the situation. We do not, of course,
know whether or not there is much in
these objections, but some such objec-
tions seem to have impressed Presi-
dent Spencer of the Southern Railway
very forcibly.
There is no reason to doubt his sin
cerity when he says he would prompt
ly accept the proposition of the state If
the sacrifice were not too great simply
because he would like to oblige the
people, but If it be true that the site is
not large enough to accommodate all the
roads for many years to come why
should the state waste money in build
ing a depot? The president of the
West Point road, who seems to be
anxious for the acceptance of the
states proposition, says that the states
site is ample for the present, but he
does not undertake to say that II would
be sufficient for the needs of the road is
ten years hence. The inference from
what observer" says is that no new
lines could be Accommodated, and that
the present roads would be cramped for
rooms If they should increase TO any
considerable extent the number of
their trains.
A thing for Atlanta people to look at
is whether the injury which the block
ing of certain streets would inflict
upon the city would not be greater than
any benefit that would likely accrue
from the placing of the depot on the
states site. OF course, as pointed out.
II the depot were the states property
1t would not be taxable by the city.
If II were on property of the RAILROADS
II would yield, quite a revenue to the
city. There are some things apparently
in connection with the depot that the
Atlanta people are just beginning TO
think about--at least, that Is the in
ference from observers" article.

Luck VS.. Brains.

Ex-Gov. Upham of Wisconsin told a
good story on himself yesterday, says
the Washington Post.
II was once interested in two lumber
deals" he said. Il had offered valu-
able piece of property at $6O,000 and at
same time I was trying to buy a tract
of pine trees. While the deals were
pending l ran across a gypsy fortune
teller in the woods and L asked her to
tell my fortune.
" You Will be very lucky in your
deals she said.
That's good" 1 ramarked.
1" Yes continued the fortune teller,
your luck will beat your brains
Gov Upham says that the woman
spoke the truth. A few days later
the syndicate which held the option of
$50 900 upon the property he had offered
at that price decided not to accept it,
and it was not long before he was able
to sell the land for almost double the
amount.

FLOWERS NORH AND sOUTH.

The Philadelphia Times the other
day. printed a page illustrated article
on Winter Luxuries that Cost Small
Fortunes" Two of the pictures should
be OF especial interest to persons in
this section OF the country. One pic
ture shows a Phila delphia florist pack
ing blooms for the South" the 9th
er one shows the florist arranging
white lilacs Ito be shipped to Flor
ida The idea of sending flowers to
Florida seems quite as paradox
ical as sending Goals to New
castle, yet the Times says the
florists of Philadelphia do a
fiourishing business with the South
and especially with Florida. Violets
are in great demand, it is said, and
sell in Florida at prices ranging from
81 to $40 per bunch, according to the
variety. Lilies of the valley are said
to be very popular with the bellies
of Florida" and are grown in Phila-
delphia and shipped South. A bunch
of them about the correct size for mi
lady TO carry to the ball'' costs about
$40. AulC h6illdlu lOI ANOllHGI uOL-
Fouse roses is very large, and good
blooms readily fetch as much as S.
each. Practically throughout the win
ter Philadelphia sends weekly and Of
ten daily shipments of flowers to the
Florida winter resorts. The sum of
money that changes hands during the
run of a season, for flowers at fancy
prices, must be very considerable.
Why doesn't Florida raise her own
flowers? 1t certainly isn't because she
cannot do it. She ought TO be able
to beat Philadelphia, or any other
Northern city, in the business, and at
a lower cost. In the North hothouses
must be kept heated during the long
cold months. In Florida there would
be comparatively few days when arti-
fetal heat would be required. If, with
heavy coal bills, the Philadelphia flor
lists find profit in raising flowers for
shipment to Florida, florists in Flor
ida ought to find a great deal more
profit in raising flowers not only for
home consumption but for shipment
North. Evidently Floridians are not
utilizing to the fullest extent their op-
portunity for making money out of
their Northern visitors.

Old Case of New DijlOmacy.

Years ago there was a brusque old
Admiral upon whom many stories were
told-in most cases true ones, says
Lippincotts.
At one time. when the warship of
which the Admiral was in command
was off the coast of Portugal, the King
of that country expressed a desire to
visit an American man-ofwar.
The Admiral received the party with
great cordiality, but. instead of ad-
dressing the royal visitor as Your
Majesty" or your Highness," he in
varfably called him king"
IT was, "Step this way King" Look
out for your head, King" when show
ing him about the vessel, and before
His Majesty departed, the Admiral
convulsed all within hearing by saying
hospitality king. come down in the
cabin and have a drink"
