ALCOHOL FUM Es.
Possible to Contract Alcoholism by
Breathing Them

Possible to Contract Alcoholism by
Breathing Them.
That continued breathing of the AIR
of warehouses or other places where
alcoholic liquors are stored may bs in
furious is the assertion of writer in
the London Lancet. Says that paper:
lit is we'll known, Of course. that
where wines and spirits are stored there
is invariably sort of alcoholic smell,
and it has been stated that walk
through the cellars at the London
Docks, where large quantities of spirits
are stored, has at first a peculiarly
stimulating effect, followed by depres
sion and headache and nausea. Ir
the same way the stranger on his first
visit to the great sherry bodegas in the
south of Spain experiences at first
decided sense Of exhilaration with
quickening of the pulse, followed by
a narcotic effect, feeling of languor,
and headache. In the great brandy
stores at Cognac, again, to some people
the air is sickening.
1t might be naturally expected that
the more volatile constituents of wines
and spirits would be the first to evapo-
rate into the air, and possibly volatile
ethers would thus prevail. We have
heard it said that the effect of inhail-
ing the air of the sherry vaults is moro
marked than when other spirituout
liquids are kept in the store. 1t is, OF
course, we'll known that sherry is
highly ethereal wine. There would,
therefore, appear to be some ground
for concluding that when air is i'm
pregnated with the volatile vapors of
spirits or wines it has marked effect
upon health. Whether this effect would
be pronounced or not upon those inEal-
ing the air day by day does not appear
TO have been ascertained with certainty.
1t is probable, however, that at any
rate some slight deterioration Of health
would take place. 1t is pretty com
monty asserted that publicans and
barmaids experience i'll effects from
the constant inhalation of an alcohol
contaminated air, but their environ
nent, of course, provides combina-
tion of unhealthy factors. According
to an examination made of the air Of
distillery it would appear that no less
than an ounce of proof spirit or half
an ounce of absolute alcohol may be
present in five cubic fest of air. 1t is
obvious from this result, we think.
that very appreciable amount of
alcohol would be inhaled during a stay,
say, of eight hours in such air. And
since the alcohol by the medium of
the lungs would rapidly gain access to
the circulation, the conclusion must
be in favor OF the view that such air
would in the long run be detrimental to
health, and therefore that in such a
case special arrangements for particu-
larly efficient vents.aLion are indicated.

UNDER THE EVENING LAMP.

1--WE entertain our company these
evenings by the kitchen stove, said a
young woman in an uptown Office, in
speaking of the scarcity of coal, day
or SO ago.
Don't they think this a strange
manner of entertaining?" she was
asked.
"Well," she replied, "you see we
spend the evening in making candy"
II suppose you have tafy pullings'

At this she burst out laughing and
replied: 1--WE had taffy pulling at
our house one evening and one of the
young men present sat down in a pan
of the candy that We had set on chair
in the yard to cool. His clothes were
an awful mess and had to let him
have Uncle Toms big coat to wear
home.''
"Did he take the pan hume with
him?' she was asked.

but he took the candy, and we have
not made any taffy since that time. "

Hope, Sing. sing.)
The roses bloom in the garden,
The bee comes wooing the flowers,
The songbird pipes to his nestmate
Through all the golden hours.
The breeze is freghted with fragrance
From forest and field and lea;
But youth has fed and hope lies dead,
So, what are they all to me?
The blue bird rocks in the treetops,
Free as the summer air,
Swings and sways and MARBLES
With never hutter of care.
Memories never haunt him,
No thought of the morrow has he,
But the guarded wall, like a sombre pail,
0'ershadows II all for me.
sit in the glowing twilight
And gaze on the evening sky,
On the glorious sunset banners
That thwart the hilltops lie,
Till the diamond eyes of heaven
Look down on the bond and the free:
But see the stars through the prison bars,
So what are they all to me?
All the flowers have lost their perfume,
The summer breeze is chill,
The bees are naught but glnttons,
And harsh the songbirds trill;
For the mighty yioces of nature,
of earth. of heaven, of sea,
Have naught of cheer for the prisoners ear
What, what are they all to me?

TO HAVE A LARGE PLANT.

Wilmington Maileable Iron Co. Buys a
s Tract of Land South of the Christiana
River.
The Wilmington Malleable Iron Co.
intends to increase the size of its plant
to such an extent that it will be the
largest malleable iron works in the
United States. Through Charles q.
Kurtz, real estate agent, the company
Saturday morning purchased As acres Of
land from the Lobdell Car Wheel Go.
The land extends from Christiana
avenue to the Golding & Sons plant,
on the south side of the Christiana
River, and The purchasers intend erect
ing about 8. 200 lineal feet of buildings
thereon.
1t is said that the Malleable com.
pany intended leaving Wilmington
because it could not get suitable land
for its contemplated extension, but
that the Lobdell company sold the
company the property at reasonable
price and induced them to remain in
Wilmington.
The oompany's present plant is at
Eighth and Locust streets, which will
probably be vacated when the new one

DR.. PYLE GETS THE VERDICT.

West Chester, Pa, Nov l4.-Dr.
Joseph Pyle, the Wilmington physician,
on trial here most Of the week in a
Bis, 600 damage case, on the charge of
aggravated assault and battery, won a
distinct victory over his divorced wife's
sister, the plaintiff in the case, when
the jury returned verdict in his favor
this afternoon. Judge Butler charged
the jury shortly before noon.
Miss Yeatman, the plaintiff, and her
sister, the divorced wife of the de-
fendant, and DIR. Pyle and the attorneys
in the case, formed an interesting
group, and paid close attention to the
charge, which was of about 20 minutes
duration.
The jury was out for five hours, and
once returned to the court room for
further instructions.
When the verdict was finally an
nounced DIR. Pyle was warmly con-
graduated.
The costs, which are heavy, fall upon
Miss Yeatman.

The platform opens with profound trib-
ute to the late President Mckinley, declar

PEACE AT LAST.
England's Struggle with the Beers Over
Peace Articles Are Signed and
Peace Will Reign.

London, June Am official cable
grim from Lord Kitchener, dated Pre-
toria, Saturday. May 81, 11:15 p. NJ,
says:
"a document containing terms of
surrender was signed here this even
ing at half past 10 o'clock by all the
Boer representatives, as well as by
Lord Miner (the British high commits
sioner in South Africa) and myself"
The news of peace in South Africa,
contained in the foregoing dispatch
from Lord Kitchener, was not expected
in London yesterday.
Soon after the receipt of the dis
patch, however, the news spread to
the clubs and hotels and was received
with much enthusiasm. The church
bells were rung to acclaim the good
news. A crowd gathered at the Man
sion and the lord mayor of London,
Sir Joseph c. Dinsdale, announced that
terms of surrender had been signed in
South Africa.
Lord Kitchener's definite announce
ment of peace was received at the war
office at o'clock yesterday afternoon
and was communicated to King Ed
ward and all the members of the cabi-
net before it was given to the public.
Last night the Sunday evening calm
of the London streets was broken by
enthusiastic singing, shouting and
horn blowing. The hotels, clubs, the
public houses and the streets were not
the only places where the people were
actively demonstrating their joy. The
peace news was announced in the
churches yesterday, and by some con-
gregations it was received with APP
plause. Prayers of thanksgiving were
offered and special hymns were sung.
