INDIANA BLIND TIGERS.
People Have Found No Ade-
quate Way to Cope with Them.

INDIANAPoLrs, Oct 1.-THE temperance
people OF southern Indiana. who have
succeeded in driving the saloons out Of
several of the most important county seats
and nearly all the smaller towns, are worried
by the appearance OF blind tigers and by
the fact that they can find no way to sup
press them
The blind tigers are conducted in wagons
and have Government licenses There is
nothing In sight but a small boxlike ar
rangement, which is attached to the end
OF board. and this can be seen only when
the back curtain to the wagon is raised.
Another curtain hangs between the pur-
chaser and the man on the inside. When
the money Is placed in the box 1t is drawn
back by an unseen hand and a bottle OF
whiskey Is pushed out.
No ono has ever seen anybody in the
wagons, and when called before the Grand
Jury those who have been known to pur-
chase liquor have stated that they did not
know from whom they got It. They have
not attempted to conceal the fact that they
purchased liquor; In fact. they have boasted
that they had found q way OF getting around
tho law. but no evidence has been secured,
that would Justify IN arrest.

A NAVY MADE IN DAY.

Assistant Secretary Taylor Of the Treasury
Department grew reminiscent In discussing
hia early days In Wisconsin and the North
west when he was editing small newspapers.
Those were. great days on the upper Missis-
sippi River he said. when the first steam
boat In spring time WAS looked forward to
q one OF the great events Of the year. To

munication by stage once or twice week

who lived on the river. | remember one

saopi Tho river there usually froze about
TIE 18th Of November and remained in that
condition until around April IS. There were
no railroads. and the hauling OF freight for
90 many miles overland was too diificult
and the cost too great to be thought Of. Con-
ssquently we arranged in the summer for
tha long winter siege. As April came around
the betting on the first boat began. Talk
about betting on Presidential elections!
From local standpoint the Presidential cleo
ton fever was nothing compared to that Of
the coming Of the first boat. because the
arrival OF the first boat to get through the

wondering exactly what time the captain
would make the landing. The next morning
found everybody downtown engaged in
the hottest kind of dispute about whether
the boat arrived on the l4th or 18th A num-
ber OF fellows came to blows and there was
great excitement. Finally. there was an
agreement that the time Of the docking of
the vessel should settle tho matter, and that
the settlement Of the dispute should be- left
to the captain Of the steamer. An immense
delegation went down and waited on that
offiCer, assuring him that the air was full OF
trouble. The captain said no knew that
there would be great deal Of contention
about the matter. and that he decided to look
at the time when the boat was at the dock
and tho gangplank out for business. As
the gangplank was thrown out, he said, his

TO AVOID HOLD-UPS.

From the Chicago Tribune


man who carries his money and his watch
in his left hand will never lose penny nor
timepiece in a hold up. The precaution,
which is perfect one, is so simple that few
people have thought OF it. Yet 1t has the
sanction Of the police. and It's efficacy has
been proved in more than one instance,
As soon as the citizen Is confronted by
the hold-up man he will. II he has his money
and his watch in his hand. throw them on
the nearest lawn or into the ditch. No high
way robber has time enough to stop to look
for either. There is no sense in carrying
valuablcs in the right hand. because the first
move of every accomplished hold-up man
is to grab his victim by the right arm. This
movement Is made to prevent the victim
from reaching for a revolver.
The man who tries to draw a revolver
while a hold-up man is In front Of him takes
his life In his hands. II a citizen carries q
revolver at all he should carry II In his right
hand while In n dangerous street. His money
and his watch should aw ways be In his left
Then after he has thrown them away and
the robber has departed discounted the vic
tim can take his time about finding his prop

beauty that II can be employed by a woman

SELF.HELP OF YALE STUDENTS.
About S0O. 900 Earned Last Year by Boys
Putting Themselves Through College.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Oct. 14-Prof. G. E.
Kitchel, at the head Of the Bureau Of Self
Help at Yale, made his annual report tonight
and showed how some Yale men earned
living while working their way through
college. Last year l56 students earned
3as, ,l1e. The thirty-seven sophomores in
this number made the largest share, $4,000
The twenty-eight seniors made over 5000,
and thirty juniors earned over $500.
There are several students, according
to the statement Of Prof. Kitchel. who are
not aided through the self-help bureau,
and in his Judgment the total amount
earned during the year by those who re-
port to him and those who are not thus
recorded would reach 10000.
Tho most money was made by private
tutoring, nearly 5000 being earned by
seventy-one students The Yale men who
waited on table made last year $500. There
we're sixty-five at this kind OF work. The
list OF occupations ran from acting as pail
bearers to driving milk wagons. Some Of
the boys peddled pastors at local elections,
others sold violets at the Junior Promenade;

NORTH CAROLINA GOING DRY.
Temperance Victories Following tho Dis
enfranchisoment OF the Negro.


CHARLoTrE. N. c.. Oct. l2.-The liquor
makers and sellers Of North Carolina are
being put out Of business by the Temperance
people. Tho last Legislature passed bill
that closed all tho rural distilleries, $50 or
more. in July: and the fall elections are
either giving tho towns dispensaries or
putting them dry,
An anti-saloon league, with Joseph W..
Bailey, editor Of the Biblical Recorder, the
organ Of tho Baptist Church in the State,
as chairman, was organized IN Raleigh
early In tho year and some elective work
is being done by 1t. The following towns
have been carried some for absolute prohi-
bition and some for dispsnsary:
,oa Wilson, oa dai'pGsHsary; stsss:'' p1S
prohibition; Elm City, dispehsary; Wades-
boro, prohibition; Elizabeth City, prohibi-
tion; Raleigh, the State capital. dispeusary;
Oxford, dispensary; Rutherfortiton, prohi-
bition; and Hillsboro, prohibition.
The liquor men have scored . few vio-
tories. They carried Tsrboro for sa-
looms ., ns,ssd q disgsassr Re.sS,s
prohibition; Scotland Neck, against prohj-
bition; and Morganton, against prohibition.
So far, no move has been made at Charlotte,
Wilmington, Greensboro. Winston, Salem
or Ashevillc, the five leading business
towns Of the State. But there e no telling
how long this can be said. for a wave OF
Temperance is sweeping the State.
It looks as II the anti-saloon forces were
determined to substitute prohibition OF q
dispensary for barrooms wherever they
exist. Tho preachers make campaign
speeches from tho pulpit and some Of them
work at the polling places.
As long as the negro was factor In poll
tics in North Carolina the Prohibitionists
stood no show Of winning. but with his vote
eliminated they carry everything before
them. In come towns the whiskey sup
porters still try to use the negro, but with
Door results
