TO: YOUNG MEN, T
testimony Of United States Sena-
tor us to the RuinOus Influ-
ence of Alcohol.

some time ago, IN a prOmine mt social
Grub in an adjoining city, I<lttended a
distinguished gathering in Zebra
ton OF the twenty-tifth anniversary of
political event. During the even
ing very. well-known United States
senator, being called upon to speak,
began by indul ging in "reminiscences
OF the time when this. political event
had taken place. He recalled the
NEE. who, with himself, had entered
public life shortly: before that time
men of brilliant talents and high ed
ucatlon, some of whom had been class
mates with him in college, many of
whom were mem bers of distinguished
families, who began with high pros
poets and noble amEitions; and then
he said: "A lmost all these men are
dead, and the majority of them died
of drink!' The remark was made in
a company of men who had been
drinking, and some of whom were
drinking in the intervals of the talk.
There were. a hundred wine glasses
around him, and unless my memory is
at fault, the senator had a. wine glass
before him, if not in his hand, when
he said it; but it seemed to me that
l had never heard so strong a tenn
perance lecture as was that, These
young men were the flower of the
community, the highest and the best.
according to all our. standards of Sc
lection, fit to join in society and pub
lie life, fit to be useful for their fell
low men and their country, and with
sincere purpose to make the best of
their opportunity and of themselves
and the majority had died of drink.
Not one of them had ever contem.
plated or dreamed of such a thing
when they began their career. Prob
ably if such an ending had been held
up before them they would have
shrunk from it with the utmost hor-
ror. Every one of them would have
resented with Indignation the sugges-
ton that such an end could possibly
come to his career. But there was the
awful fact, the majority of them had
died of drink. The lights had gone
out, the diamonds had turned to ashes.
the usefulness to waste, the brilliant
careers to disgrace, the hopes of them
selves and their friends had been de-
stroyed, the talents and the education.
the ability and the strength, and the
manhood, had been overthrow,
quenched in everlasting darkness. and
buried out of sight The majority Of
them had died of drink. 1t was not
what they had expected; it was not
what they wished; it was not what
they deemed possible. But this insid-
ious foe had deceived them, and the
saying of the wise man comes back
with an awful significance. .sWhoso-
ever is deceived thereby is not wise. =

cate.

As whole, the soil of the north is
more fertile than the soil of the south.
One reason of this is that the north Is
locked up tight for five months dur
ing the winter season. and the soil es-
capes the destructive erosion which the
winter rains infiict upon the uncovered
soils of the south. This is one Of the
compensations of severe winter wealth
er which are rarely considered.

SAYS SMUGGLING
is ON THE INCREASE.
Former Special Agent OF Treasury
Department Declares 1t Is
Greater Than Ever.
KNOWS WHO OFFENDERS ARE.
Charges That Four Firms in Maid
Tn Lane, New York. Make 4
business of the Illegal
Traffic.

New York. May l1.-william W. Thobald,
partr1cut. makes the statement that more
smuggling is going on now than there has
been at any previous time in the history
OF the United States Government.
OF his W personal knowledge, he said.
he knew of four pearl necklaces. no one oil
which was worth less than So,0H having
been brought into the port of New York
without paying 4 cent of duty. Further
than this. ne said, he knew Of AT least four
firms in Maiden lane who are engaged IN
the Unlawful traffic and that he can place
his hands upon them at a moments notice.
Ludwig Nissen. who has been chosen TO
go abroad TO bring about a more thorough
understanding between the foreign agents
OF. the Treasury Department and the deal
ers there. says:
Smuggling among merchants is less than
ii has ever been before. / DO not believe
there are any large and responsible houses
that countenarce it. The trade is confined
to rather narrow lines, and we can get a
pretty good idea of it from any house that
does that SORT of thing.
But smuggling by travellers has been
steadily on the increase. Rich Americans go
by thousands to Europe every summer and
the number of those who try to bring back
diamonds and other jewels without paying
duty is large and increasing. Many seizures
have been made in the last few years, hut.
as 1t is with gamblers, for every one that is
caught many go free. If these people only
knew it. they could buy diamonds cheaper
here with the duly added than in Europe,
because the merchants there invariably
charge the highest prices to the rich Amer
leans"

Washington, May n.-Ex-Governor Ben
ten cMillin of Tennessee is In Washing
ton. He was asked concerning the alleged
holding up by armed men of Algood. the
regro rural free-delivery carrier. Governor
McMillin said:
Il know nothing whatever of the Alsood
incident other thar l nave read in the
newspapers, the latest adyices on the sub
ject being. if / mistake not, a statement
which denies the first account Of the affair
sent broadcast over the country.
Il haven't been in the Gallatin %neighbor-
hood since the incident. 50 much comment
ed upon, took place. but l know the people
we'll and / do not hesitate TO say that, col
lectively, they constitute one of the most
enlightened. progressive and thoroughly
liberal communities in the United States.
There is no part of the North in which
many sections he is not even acceptable as
a laborer, although the South readily ac-
cepts him as such. 1t is also TRUE that this
same spirit Il mean where negro offlcialism
Is concerned, is SO far characteristic of the
South that when the father, husband or son
are away from home they are not anxious
to have a negro official go to the home and
cross the threshold. either to deliver mail
or for any other purpose.
When the father, husband and son are
at home thew are ready for all Corners and
a~bundantly able to defend the home; but
when compelled to be absent they are at
least anxious that the law shall not send
anybody across the threshold who by any
possibility could be an intruder or an in
vader of the sanctity of the home"

MIR. Fayle is feeble and incapacitated for
further work. but he enjoys newspapers

walls of his little home As the years come
on his capacity for reading becomes less and
his wife assists him when she can spare
the time from her work. the responsibility

Mr.. Fayle came to ST. Louis in 1860 from
! E~ockport, n. Y. where he was married in
1852 to Miss Alicia Jackson. and where he
had previously engaged in newspaper bust
ness. At the outbreak of the Civil War he
was sent to the front with General Curtis's
army as the correspondent of, a St Louis
newspaper, and he reported many OF the
great battles that followed.
After the war he was sent with the In
dian Peace Commission to Kansas and Ne
braska and contributed daily articles to The
Repcpiic on the progress of negotiations
MADE by Generals Sherman. Sheridan. Rose
Grams and others. which resulted in the
iessening of hostiiities frequently started
by the red men in the West. Returning to
st. louis in the early seventies, he engaged

tired.
In the old days, Mr. Fayle says. he would
go out In the morning and skirmish for
news Until time 10 come into the office ard
write 1t. He would take anything. from the
arrival OF a baby at the home of the
city block. There was not the system then
that Is now in force in the modern news

city every day that no news item of i'm
portance can escape.
In their home the aged couple delight to

of all the comforts that wealth might pro-
VIDE, they are taken care OF by Proyfdence.

nate times frequently make their lot more
