DRINKING AND vAGRANOY.

The managers Of the Allegheny
County workhouse In their recent
report quote statement made bv Mr..
John W. Keller before the New York
State Conference of Charities, held
in New York City last November.
The quotation is as follows: "Out of
total of 1855 inmates Of the aims
house on Blackwell's Island only 564
were born in the United States; 2,872
were foreign born, and out of this
nubmer 1,6l7 were born in ireland.
Out of the 1850 inmates, Q, 7a9 were
admitted for destitution. They were
just helpless in the main, because
they had yielded to the desire for
drink until long suffering friends
could no longer bear the burden Of
their existence, and had to turn them
over to the state. How many Of these
persons could have been made self
respecting and self-supporting II the
environment that first led them In tile
downward path had been minimized
or swept away altogether? Here is a
great opportunity for the philanthro-
pist who looks to causes rather than
to effects in his plan for the better
ment of the human race. There are
too many people in the almshouse.
The energy of the state has been ex-
erted to take care Of the unfortunates,
rather than to prevent men and women
from becoming unfortunate. " The
state owes duty to the unfortunate be-
sides taking care of them in the aims
houses. The state should see to 1t
that there be no need that they ever
come to the almshouse. Teaching
thrift is one Of the safeguards against
the almshouse. Preserving them from
drink is another. Methodist Recorder.

RARE FEAT SURGERY.
DR. D H. Williams of Chicago, Removes
a mAmm 9th Tumor and Saves a
Woman's Life-Credit tho Race.

Not only the laity but the medical
profession IN Chicago seem aStOniShed
at the successful removal from a woman
OF a tumOr weighing over one hundred
pounds. This marks a feat in medical
surgery in this country which is des-
tined to attract the attention of the
profession throughout the civilized
world; and the fact that this wonderful
feat was performed by colored doctor
VIII go long ways towards convincing
the worlds thinkers that the color of
mans skin does not determine the char
acter and activity of his brain.
DR.. Daniel H Williams. a Negro
physician, living at 3I40 Forest avenue,
Chicago, whose modesty prevented him
from giving us the information which
We gathered at St. Luke's hospital is
regarded IN Chicago to-day as one of
the most remarkable surgeons who ever
handled the knife; and although he re-
fuses TO discuss this latest surgical feat
OF his as at all out of the ordinary, and
claims that ANY careful doctor could
90 the same thing" yet, for all that, he
must be conscious of the fact that his
brethren of the profession regard him
as having taken long step upward in
TINS case, and placed himself in name
and, IN fact, among the great men of
TINS country of great men in surgery.
About ten years ago Mrs. Rena Bar
bour, of 1903 Dearborn street, became
afflicted with an enlargement of the
abdomen. She was employed as cook
IN a family on Michigan avenue. where
She worked as a domestic up until a
short time ago, when her abdomen had
grown to such immense proportions
that she was unable to do work of any
KIND, or to lie down or get about at all.
In the meantime the great weight of the
rapidly grown tumor had reduced her to
a mere skeleton.
Her condition was such that her
trends abandoned all hope of ever re-
Iievlng her, and all doctors who had ex-
amlned her had advised against any
attempted operation to remove the tu-
NOR. Although Mrs. Barbour is mar
RED woman whose husband is strong,
hearty man, she says she had to work
as cook up TO within few days of the
time she went to the hospital to keep
from starving; that her husband spent

auntle slowly dying from the effects OF

ASTONISHING INSURANCE
FIGURES.

- y I'D
Few people have any idea of
the enormity Of the insurance
business of the United States.
It not only exceeds that Of any
other country, but is twice as
great as that of all the rest of the
world com bined. At the present
time there is in the United States
about So, OOO. Ooo,0 900 of life in
surance in force, including as
sessment business. This means
over $3.50 for every man. woman
and child in the country or $500
for every family. The annual
risks written by the fire insur.
ance companies are estimated at
800, OOO, 600, 600 which is $3.50 per
capita, or $3.50 per family.
Thus it will be seen that every
family in the country, on an
average, has insurance assets of
over $1,000. -Leslie's Weekly.

Peculiar Case in til,

According to the Devils Lake
Free press an interesting land
Office decision has just been re-
ceived there from the general
land Office. The Free Press says:
One is Edward Frller VS.. George
K. Miller, the land being very
valuable claim IL miles east of
Cando. Miller settled on his
land in 1897 and maintained his
resid ence on it until 1893, when
he went to Illinois and got mar

Miller had on his own claim, SO

putting in the crop every spring.,

Register Serumgara held that
as Miller had actually established

he was married, had never aban-
doned it for over six months at
any time since, and had valuable
improvements on the claim, a
great part of it being under
cultivation, the entry should be
sustained and contest dismissed.
{ Receiver Baird held for Fuller.
Both par dies appealed. The
commissioner of the general land
Office holds the entry for can
cellation and that such residence
is not sufficient.
There are thousands of home
steaders who think that if they
visit their claims once every SIX
months they comply with the
law. This claimant did more
than visit his claim; he actually
resided on the land during all the
time necessary to farm it, and
still the higher land courts hold
that he has not. complied with
the homestead law, as he has
not made his claim his home t.

It were well If homesteaders
would take warning and get out
of the notion that any old fiction

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
If one is inclined to think pro-
hibition q failure, let them con-
trast by personal observation,
its results as against those of
license laws before fixing their
opinion definitely.
I'm a license state the moral
sentiment seems deadened, and
a feeling of apathy and indiffer-
ence concerning this dread foe
to human happiness is too apt to
prevail,
One small town in New York
state Of 500 population has four
fourishing saloons besides
hotel bars. The people of that
town assume the suicidalattitude;
that sit must be so there's no
use to worry about it, and
they don't.
The prosecutions reported by
our state press Of late give con-
vincing proof that the prohibit
ton law can and does prohibit
when there are men to execute
it. That in North Dakota it is
belived that it can she pelped, /"
as many blindpiggers, bootleg
gers, and druggists can person
ally testify. There victims are
to be pitied. 1t is truly pitiful
that mdn can make no better usa
of their lives than to defy moral
| and civil law and thereby reap
disgrace and financial ruin. Give
us a prohibition state where the
great evil Of the liquor traffic is
held in check and placed under
the van of the law, rather than
a state where the saloon is made
q legitimate business, house
shared in, protected by the gov
ernment. In North Dakota
there are 10000 boys who have
never seen a saloon. is this fact
worth anything to the parents of
these boys? It's no place save q
prohibition state can this be said.
North Dakota has also the small
est percentage of criminals Of
any state in the union a condition
in which prohibition is a large
factor. Yet there are those
within her borders who argue
for it's repeal, on the grounds of
nonenforcement and loss of
liscense money. A petiful wall
is made over the money that is
spent in prosecuting violators of
the law, with such comparative
small results But how much
|gaater is the waste and folly of
liscensing the vile business. A
study of the economic of the
liquor traffic is of vital import.
