DRESDEN POLICE.
They Are Permitted so Impose Small
Fines on Offenders.

One advantage !ccrucS to the reSpec-
table member of the community from
the minutcncss with which the Dres-
den police look into the affairs of every
inhabitant of tic city If be is care
ful mGn and always carries papers
which may serve to establish bis 1den-
tity he is practically immune from the
indignity Of being arrested and march
ed OF to the police station unless, IN
deed, he commits some especially bel
nous crime. Does he drive faster than
the law permits, does he cross bridge
on the left hand side, he IS stopped by
the guardian Of law and order and re-
quested to give his name. If he has
his papers with him the policeman may
then and there impose a fine Of from
l to 3 marks. If then he admits that
he is in the wrong and pays the fine
the incident Is closed. If, however, he
wishes to appeal from the policeman's
decision be may do so. Even In that
case he is not arrested, but day or
two later he is notified to appear In
court and answer to the charge against
him. But then If be is found guilty
the lowest fine that can be imposed
is 8 marks. That this custom Of per-
hitting the policeman personally to I'M
pose small fines is little understood by
foreigners is shown by remark made
to me by a gentleman who had lived
in Germany the greater part Of his life
and in Dresden for number Of years.
In reply to my inquiry as to whether
there was ever any question Of cor
ruption in the police department he re-
piled:
"No; none whatever as far as the
higher officers are concerned. The in
dividual men, however, may be bribed
occasionally. For instance, II / were
to walk on the grass in the Grosser
garten and a policeman caught me at
it | would give him a mark or two,
and that would end the matter."-Pnil-

Some remarkable salt formations
are found extending for thirty miles
along the Virginia river in Nevada.
The salt forms mountains Of crystal
and is so pure and clear that fine print
can be read through foot Of it. This
region was evidently once occupied by
a great salt lake, as close by are some
wonderful wells, one Of which, seven
ty-fve feet in diameter, contains wa
ter so intensely saline that person
bathing there will float like cork.

Hydrophobia Epidemic.

Ats recent meeting Of the Michigan
Board of Health the president declared
that rabies is now epidemic IN that
state. DR.. V. G. Vaughan, reported
for a special committee on the subject
that the disease had gradually spread
from New York through Ohio and into
Michigan. "It had been diffused
through every part of the lower pen
insula and was now prevailing among
cattle, hogs and other domestic ami;
mails. Many dogs and children had
been bitten.'' a Pasteur institute
has been established and six patients
have been treated, who were bitten
by infected dogs. Several thousand
dollars worth of cattle have been lost
from the disease The president re-
marked that circulars of information
and forms of regulations requiring
the muzzling of all dogs at large nao
been sent to each of the sixteen
hundred local boards of health IN the
state. News and Courier.

MUCH DRINKING AMONG WOMEN.
MANY Leave Church Rather Than
Sign a Temperance Pledge.

New York, April 27.-In many Har-
lem homes today the sensational ser
mon of the Rev. Dr.. Willis ?. Odell,,
Of the Calvary Methodist Church, and
one of the most popular ministers in
this city, in which, last night, ne
emphaticaIly declared to congrega-
tion of 1900 people in his big church
that drunkenness among women is
alar1ningly on the increase, is being
discussed with anazement. After the
sermon, a dozen young women were
sent among the congregation with tota!
abstinence pledges, and hundreds OF
women signed them.
Before the girls reached them, now
ever. scores of women left the
church.
.tThis sermon is especially for wo-
men, bluntly began DR.. OdeH ;
drunkenness is alarmingly on the IN
crease among them"
"I sat down in downtown restaur-
ant recently. A woman, as fashion
ably dressed as any in this audience,
came in and sat near me. When the
waiter approached she ordered whis-
kew straight. He brought it with a
small glass of water. She pushed the
water side and drank the liquor at a
single draught. She paid the waiter
and left.
NThat woman was no novice at
drinking, and she may have been a
Harlem matron.
GAS result of women drinking,
scores of children-little girls of six
and eight-are taught the habit. The
little girls are sent for beer and the
bartender always puts in some for the
child who carries the pail, as Ee knows
she will drink it on the way home. -
DR.. Odell read number Of clippings
from newspapers telling of specific
cases of drunken women and children.
Some of the stories were so revolving
That there was buzz of horror in che
big congregation.

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION.
Gen. Miles Advocates National aid
to Build Good Highways.
GOOD REASONS FOR HIS POSITION.
Bryan Receives an Ovation and
Tells Why the Farmer is Enti-
titled to Good Public High
ways.

St. Louis, April 28.-At the second
days session of the national and inter
national Good Roads convention Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, who is president OF
the National Highway commission,
made an address on Military Roads
and National Aids He said, in part:
"Our government has expended $780,
OOO,O 900 for the improvement of our
harbors and waterways and now the
attention of the public is being called
to our postal roads and avenues OF
communication that are most useful
and important to all our people.
ssIf such expenditures Of the nation
al treasure have been made in the past
for the development of railroads and
water ways, is it not now most ap-
propriate time that the improvement
of our roads should receive national
attention and governmental aid?''
Ex-Governor Hoggs of Texas pointed
out the necessity for good roads,
which, he believed could be secured
only through the aid of the national
government. He spoke of the insular
policy of the government and said It
some of the money that is being
souandered in the Philippines could
be used here in the improvement OF
highways, our roads would be IN far
better condition.
VIM. J. Bryan spoke at the after
noon session, receiving an ovation.
He said, in part: The expenditure
of money for the permanent improve
ment of the common roads can be de-
Tended, first as matter Of justice to
the people who live in the conntry
second, as matter Of advantage to the
people who do not live in the country,
and third, on the ground that the well
fare of the nation demands that the
comfort; of country life shall, as far
as possl BILE, keep pace with the COM
forts of city life.
"It is a well known fact, or fact
easily ascertanied, that the people IN
the country while paying their full
share of county, State and federal tax.
es, receive as rule only the general
benefits of government, while the peo-
ple Of the cities have in addition to the
protection afforded by the government,
the advantage arising from the expen-
diture of public moneys in their midst.
ssThe improvement of the country
roads can be justified also on the
ground that the farmer, the hrst ana
most important of the producers OF
wealth, ought to be in position to
hold his crop and market it at the
most favorable opportunity, whereas
at present he is virtually under com
pulsion to sell it as soon as it is
matured because the roads may be-
come impossible any time during the
fall, winter or spring. Instead OF be-
ing his own warehouseman, the farm
er is compelled to employ middlemen
and share with them the profit upon
his labor. The farmer has right. to
insist upon roads that will enable him
to go to town, to church, to the school
house and to the homes of his neigh
bors, as occasion may require. 5;e.-s and nd
has an additional need for good roads
in order that he may be kept in com.
munication with the outside world. !"

A Startling Test.

To save life, DR.. T. G. Merritt, of No
Mehoopany, Pa, made startling test re-
sulting in wonderful cure. He writes, "a
patient was attacked with violent hemor-
rhages, caused by liberation Of the stom,
ach. had often found Electric Bltters
excellent for acute stomach and liver
troubles so I prescribed them. The patient

THE FINAL WORD.


vard OF hope for the future and of
praise to the citizens of Louisiana
nom Governor Heard to the simplest
man among them. Their response to
3our invitation to take part IN this
Struggle is of such character as to re-
move any doubt in my mind as to the
ultimate result. The population OF
this resgien is not tax-hatlng
population. The press OF the State,
rural and urban, is behind this move
ment. The whole region is feeling
she breath of the Vest and the spirit
Of ,llimitabie growth and opportunity
everywhere entering the consciousness
of the Southern people. I have no
novel suggestions to make. The
moulding of public opinion IS SLOW
business, but it is splendld and re-
noyating when il is moulded. Inc
thing for us to do, therefore, Is TO
hammer on until the desire for better
schools and all that belongs to better
schools becomes q contagion to the
people. It is, perhaps, proper Tor me
TO state chat as district director OF
the Southern Education Board 1t has
been my privilege to make thirty-hVe

the subject of education, twenty-six OF
them being in Louisiana, Mississippi

States. By extensive correspondence

comes the assurance, which made the
heart of Paul indomitable and the
words of Paul immortal: If God be
for us, who can be against US! Inc
intense earnestness and the equal
simplicity which will follow from the
conjunction of our own heart with the
heart of the race will make oratory
unstilted, Journalism unsophlstical,
statesmen fearless and free. 1t would
deliver us from the miserable spectacle
of Northern and Southern Senators and
Congressman voting for what they
condemn in their own minds, yet vot-
ing for it, lest the rapacity or the
ignorance of their sections may defeat
them for reelection. The wretched
manifestations Of men Of historic
names and flames talking driveling
slush to rabble throngs would not then
challenge the scorn OF man or the
Judgment of heaven. The people OF
both sections are far better than those
who give to them low moral rating.
Their intelligence is far greater than
is that of those who serve out to them
the food on which fools are fed. Read
ers better edit editors than editors
their papers when the latter put into
them anything which they know to
be wholly false or only partially true.

None of the periods of the politics OF

one party has seemed nearly destitute

noble people. l know that such man
will somewhere be found-or redis-
covered. l know not whence he will
come, but I know that at our end OF

not all buried in the grave Of Hamil-

THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH.
The theme assigned DR.. McKelway
was the North and the South. - He
said in part:
ssMy Friends: Those for whom and
with whom ] have the honor to speak
would bring to those to whom I have
the honor to speak the greeting of the
North to the South. New York, from
which come, and Virginia, in whose
capital city I speak, belong to the
aristocracy of America. They are
numbered among the original thir-
teen. Both are battle-scared with
revolutionary suffering and crowned
with revolutionary triumphs. Both
have been united to defend the Union
against every foreign foe. Both are a
unit in the spirit of right between
men and of justice between States
which makes and which alone can keep
the Republic peace. Our public life
and our public forces have undergone
without structural shock a continuous
development of century and OF a
quarter of century of years. Yours
underwent prostration and recreation
into and under absolutely new condi-
tions within time less than half a
century past. OF memories you have
as rich an heritage as We. But from
some responsibility and from some
retarding causes you are free-and we
are not. You had the not always in
jurious opportunity either for man
or for State to begin all over again.
We inherit and we carry all our
years with all their infrmities. and
with all their errors, as well as with
all their advances and successes. You
should be better than We are, for
purified as if by fire. is the figure of
inspiration which signifies disincum-
berment from alloy and deliverance
from dross, release from rust and from
many corrupting and corroding in
huences The resultant is the con-
temporary South, which attests not
only the originality, the resiliency and
the indestructibility of your section,
but also the homogeneous character
OF our now happily common country
