Crime as Viewed by the Twelve City
Magistrates OF New York-Liquor Re-
sponsible For Most Cases.
I VOW to drink no more for well know
The more | drink the thirstier ! grow;
And he who drinks to know, too late he
learns
The fire he quenchcs most the more it
burns.
This bottled stream has wet so many lips
That were not dry in speech nor used to-
sips;
Has made so many checks unwilling show
The rose that ever keeps them blushing sot
Look wise and shake your pretty head at
To play the fool so would the wsest act;
Sweets OF the twining vine. as sure as late
Make loving woman too affectionate.
Wine makes a man. his fancy for the fact
Believe he owns the earth, his wealth in
tact.
Here, beggar. take another sip and be
For one brief hour a millionaire with me,
I've owned the earth; and did pay for it
(The gain of pleasure minc) with shallow
wit;
And that same earth, the rent last falling
due
I've sold for an old story tod anew.
Just one more drink? Alas, that just one
more
Has been how many thousand times be-
fore?
I break the glass that holds the crimson
blush
OF him who first taught man the grape to
crush.

For locomotive building 1901 was
record year. Leaving out of account
the work of railroad shops, there were
constructed in the United States last
year 1884 locomotives, of which 33i
we're for export. About 5000, there
fore, were required to meet the demand
CT American railways for more motive
power and to provide renewals-not an
excessive proportion of the total mum.
Ter now in use, which is not far from
10000. Should the demands of ship
pers for transportation retain their

American locomotive building concerns
would doubtless be overtaXed during

Alcohol and Crime.

The warden Of the Allegheny Penn)
county prison board says in his report that
during the twelve months ending Decem-
Der 81 l900 there were received 9lS2 pris-
oners as against s440 the previous year.
The Jail physician says that ninety-hve per
cent. of those committed were under his
care for alcoholism, and out OF 5127 who
were summarily convicted there was not
one who was not victim OF the alcohol
habit. Still there are people who look upon
the saloon business as necessary to muni-
cipal prosperity. Such ignorance is bound
to be banished by the brighter light OF the
tive. tisth century.

Tunnel accidents are prevented in
novel ways by some foreign railroads.
In Saxony, for example, there is rail-
road tunnel through which no train
can pass unless it's engineer has GER
tain staff. AS the staff has no duph-
Gates, only one train can go through
the tunnel at time In our own coun-
try there has been at least one stop sig
nal which has proven safe, but its use
has not been popular with the railroads
perhaps because it causes too many re-
rair bills. 1t is long arm which
comes down across the track when
there is danger ahead and smashes the
headlight and some of the upper works
OF the engine.

In the Chicago Record-Herald Dr.
George F. Shrady observes that the
proper Interpretation of the germ the
ory as applied to septic infection lies
at the bottom of all the present posi-!
tilities of cure by the knife, and has
made clean wound treatment the new
religion of safety for the countless
number of otherwise doomed sufferers.
The same doctrine of cleanliness must
necessarily infuse itself into all the
comprehensive systems of sanitary re-
form and disease prevention. 1t is ap-
propriately placed next to that of god
llness in its far-reaching beneficial
ministrations. In its widest sense it
controls all the baleful conditions OF
unhealthy environment and stamps out
pestilence by cutting off all opportuni-
ties for it's dissemination. A good
water supply, effective drainage, clean
streets and pure air make any city
healthy. The best of all is that the
public appreciates these facts and con-
sistently seconds the laudable efforts OF
the health authorities to such ends

The chief object of the American who
travels is to get there" in the short

the stopping of trains at stations to
let off or take on passengers is sorely
regretted by the travelling public.
which prefers the express trains to the
slower moving accommodations. Con.
sidering the great demand for faster
trains and the efforts to build engines
which are capable of great speed, it Is
strange that there has been no inven-
ton which would do away with stops
for passengers, as has been done by the
troughs for watering engines while in
motion. A New York inventor now
offers to the railroads what he regards
as a satisfactory method of letting off
and taking on passengers while the
train moves at it's usual speed. The in.
yention consists of saddle cars to strad-
die the express train. BY system OF
raised and lowered tracks the saddle
car is to be picked up at one station by
the express and carried to the next
station, the passengers being trans
ferred rom one to the other in transit
The inventor estimates that his ar
rangemeat would cut down the time
between New York and San Francisco
to so hours.

mistake. Crispin makes no such con-
cession. There is no telling what may

pin may not be elected but his cause
will be elected because it is growing
