TURKEY WAKES UP.

sultan Taking Energetic Measures
= to Suppress Drunkenness.
Special steps are being taken to cope
with the evil Of drunkenness which
has been steadily making it's way
among the Turks despite the rigorous
prohibition of all intoxicants among
Mohammedans.
Any soldier found drinking in public
will be imprisoned for forty-five days
for the first ofense and severely fog
ged for the second, says the Constanti
nople correspondent Of the Philadel-
phia Press. Any officer found COM
m1tting the same offense will be imme.
diarely degraded to the ranks. The po.
lice have been instructed to confiscate
anC destroy all intoxicants either in
bottles or casks found in grocery stores.
A black list will from time to time be
prepared and submitted to the sultan,
including the names of all the officials
and others who have been found guilty
OF offending against the new laws.
How the sultan feels in the matter is
shown by the following anecdote re-
printed from a Turkish paper by the
New York Times:
a policeman was caught in a tavern
the other day and taken to Marshal
Hassan Pasha, commander Of the Bes.
htktash police, who asked him why be
was tipsy. The prisoner pleaded tooth.
in order to kill the pain. The pasha
called in barber-barbers are general.
~ supposed in Turkey to have some
knowledge of dentistry and ordered
him to extract the tooth that was the
cause Of the mischief. The barber ex.
mined the policeman's mouth, and, as
the poor fellows teeth were in a per-
feet state, could not discover any rot.
ten tooth. The prisoner was thereupon
compelled to point out one, and mo.
ment later it was in the hands Of the
pasha.
This is perfectly sound,' said he.
"Surely this could not have caused you
any pain" Then, turning to the bar.
ber, he said: "You must have taken the
wrong tooth out. 1t must be the next
one. Extract it at once.' The poor
policeman had to submit to the second
opera ton, and out came another tooth
as sound as the first. IIashan pasha
then thought the chastisement suffi.
cient and dismissed the prisoner, after
expressing the belief that his remain.

DOWNEY'S DECISION.
Question of JurisdictiOn Between
Carpenters and WoOLwOrkers

Question of JurisdictiOn Between
Carpenters and Woodworkers.
Z. J. Downey Of the Albany (N. ~
building trades, who was chosen as um-
pire in the now famous controversy
between the Brotherhood of Carpcn-
ters and the Amalgamated Wood
workers, has rendered decision which
Is not at all satisfactory to the carpen-
ters, whose secretary, Frank Duffy, is
quoted as saying:
The decision makes no difference to
US. We are not bound by it, and we
will go on organizing our men from
among the class that Mr.. Downey says
we have no jurisdiction over. This
fight has just begun, and we will con-
tinue it until we have these men all
with us. l do not care what action in
the matter the American Federatio of
Labor takes, We were here before the
American Federation was, and we owe
it nothing. If that organization would
rather have little organization Of less
than 10000 men with it than to have
ours, with over 10000 members, it can
do so. If the American Federation Of
Labor recognizes this decision as just,
we will withdraw from it. That is all
there is to it,
Umpire Downey's decision, rendered
after hearing testimony for more than
two weeks from representatives Of the
two national unions, is as follows:
"After a careful survey Of the situa-
ton and in accordance with the evi-
dence and testimony produced and in
view Of the fact that the Brotherhood
mated Woodworkers control over the
wood working trades enumerated in
the constitution of the Woodworkers'
International union I hereby decide
that all woodworkers in planning mills,
furniture and interior finish factories
come rightfully under the jurisdiction
Of the Amalgamated Woodworkers' In
ternational union, but the members
Of said organization, the American
.WoodYorkers' International union,
shall not be conceded the right Of juris-
dicton over millwrights and stair
the putting up Of store and Office f1x-
lures.
''The United Brotherhood Of Carpen-
tiers and Joiners shall have absolute
Jurisdiction over all work on new and
old buildings and the putting up of
store and Office fixtures. 1t will be un-
derstood that this decision does not in
terfere with any local agreement that
may now obtain or to be entered into
hereafter, nor affect, interfere with
or abrogate any agreement or agre =
ments made and entered into with the
Amalgamated Woodworkers' and 9th.
er unions concerning the Jurisdiction
Of other tra1es that may be employed
on finishing. vanishing, wood carving
or painting Of wood and cabinet work
in mills, factories or buildings"

Ole Chiseled Flattery
on Tombstones
By WILLIAM GEORGE JORDAN

There are more people in this world
hungering for kindness, sympathy,
comradeship and love than are hun
gering for bread We often refrain
from giving a hearty word Of encour-
agement, praise or congratulation to
some one, even where we recognize
that our feelings are known, for fear
Of making him conceited or overconfi-
dent. Let US tear down these dikes Of
reserve, these walls Of petty repression,
and let In the food of our feelings.
There have been few monuments rear
ed to the memory Of those who have
failed in life because of overpraise
There Is more chiseled fattery on tomb
stones than was ever heard in life by
the dead those stones now guard. Man
does not ask for flattery, he does not
long for fulsome praise; he wants the
honest, ringing sound Of recognition Of
what he has done, fair appreciation Of
what he Is doing and sympathy with
what he is striving to do.
Why Is it that death makes US sud
denly conscious Of a hundred virtues
in q man who seemed commonplace
and faulty in life? Then we speak as
though an angel had been living in our
town for years and we had suddenly
discovered him. If he could only have
heard these words while living, If he
could have discounted the eulogies at,
say, even 60 per cent, they would have
been an inspiration to him when weary,
worn and worried by the problems Of
living. But now the ears are stilled to
all earthly music, and even IL they
could hear our praise the words would
be but useless messengers Of love that
eane too late.

The Power of Truth
Lying, the Mott Popular Vice of
Humanity, Studied In Daily Life ~
By WILLIAM GEORGE JORDAN
THE Power o Iruth.' hed by Brent.n

all the exceptions whose temporary
success may mislead them. 1t is truth
alone that lasts.
The politician who is vacillating,
temporizing, shifting, constantly trim
ming h's sails to catch every puff of
wind of popularity. is a trickster who
succeeds only until he is found out. A
lie may live for time; truth for all
time. A lie never lives by its own
vitality; it merely continues. to exist
because it Stimulates truth. When it
1s unmasked, it dies.
When each Of four newspapers in
one city puts forth the claim that its
circulation is larger than all the Others
combined, there must be an error some
where. Where there is untruth there
Is always conflict, discrepancy, impos-
sibility. If all the truths of life and
experience from the first second Of
time, or for any section Of eternity,
were brought together, there would be
perfect harmony, perfect accord, union
and unity, but if two lies come to-
gether they quarrel and seek to destroy
each other.
1t is in the trif1es of daily life that
truth should be our constant guide and
inspiration. Truth is not a dress suit,
consecrated to special OCCASIONS; it is
the strong, we'll woven, durable home
spun for daily living.
The man who forgets his promises is
untrue. We rarely lose sight Of those
promises made to us for our individual
benefit. These we regard as checks we
always seek to cash at the earliest mo-
ment. The miser never forgets where
he hides his treasure" says one Of the
old philosophers. Let us cultivate that
sterling honor that holds our word so
supreme, so sacred, that to forget it
would seem crime, to deny it would
be impossible.
The man who says pleasant things
and makes promises which to him are
light as air, but to some one else seem
the rock upon which a life's hope is
built, is cruelty untrue. He who does
not regard his appointments, carelessly
breaking them or ignoring them, is the
thoughtless thief of anothers time. 1t
reveals selfishness, carelessness and
lax business morals. 1t is untrue to
the simplest justice of life.
Men who split hairs with their con-
science, who mislead others by deft,
shrewd phrasing which may be true in
letter, yet lying in spirit and designed
ly uttered to produce a false impress
sion, are untruthful in the most cow
ardly way. Such men would cheat
even in solitaire. Like murderers, they
forgive themselves their crime in con-
graduating themselves on the clever
ness Of their alibi.
The parent who breaches honor to his
child and gives false statistics about
the child's age to the conductor to save
a nickel is not true.
The man who keeps his religion in
camphor all week and who takes it out
only on Sunday is not true. He who
seeks to get the highest wages for the
least possible amount Of service is not
true. The man who has to sing lula
bies to his conscience before he himself
can sleep is not true.

COnxtancy.

Constancy.
Who is the honest man?
He that doth still and strongly good pur-

To God, his neighbor and himself most
Whom neither force nor fawning can
Unpin or wrench from giving all their

Whose honesty is not
SO loose or easy that ruff1ing wind
Can blow away or glittering look it blind; !;
Who rides his sure and even trot
While the world now rides by, now lags
behind:
Who. when great trials come
Nor seeks nor shuns them, but doth calm
ly stay
Till he the thing and the example weigh;
All being brought into a sum,
What place or person calls for he doth
pay;
Whom none can work or WOO,
To use in anything trick or sleight,
For above all things he abhors deceit:
His words and works and fashion, too,
All of piece and all are clear and
straight:
Who never melts or thaws
At close temptations; when the day Is
done,
His goodness sets not, but in dark can
run;
The sun to others writeth laws,
And this Is their virtue-virtue is his sun
Who when he is to treat
With sick folks women, those whom pas
sions sway,
Allows for that and keeps his constant
way:
Whom others faults do not defeat;
But, though men fail him, yet his part
doth play;
Whom nothing can procure
When the wide world runs bias from his
will
To writhe his limbs and SHARE not mend,

ENGLISH LIQU0RLAW
ACT TO CURB DRUNKENNESS Is
WORKING VERY SATISFACTORILY.
London Police Declare That Streets
Are Remarkably Free From To-
pers-Courts Have Fewer Cases of
"Drunk and Disorderly."

AOnuOA tOA1Ce DeC1uFc SlECctD
Are Remarkably Free From To-
pers-Courts Have Fewer Cases of
"Drunk and Disorderly."
The London correspondent Of the
New York Press recently sent the fol-
lowing to his paper:
Englands extraordinary law against
drunkenness, which came into effect on
Jan. /, has been working long enough
now to make it possible to form an
idea of what the actual results of it
are likely to be- Although the outcome
Of it should 90 a long way toward dem
onstrating whether similar law would
be good thing in the United States,
yet even the complete success here
would not be guarantee that it might
not prove more or less a farce if tried
at home, for its enforcement depends
chiefly on the scrupulousness Of the sa-
loon keepers and on the watchfulness
Of the police.
However, it can be said that up to
the present time it looks as if the new
law were going further toward pro-
noting general temperance than any
legislation hitherto enacted in this
country. Every day since the law
came into force the number of cases Of
''drunk and disorderly" in the London
courts has diminished, and the police
men who have been longest on duty in
the east end say they have never
known the streets so free of "profes-
sional drunkards."
It Is, of course, against the "habit-
ual' topper that the new act is princi-
pally aimed. Its intention is to prevent
such folk from getting any liquor what
ever for a period Of three years. As
soon as a man has been up before the
magistrates as drunk" sufficient

particulars concerning him Scotland

can be fined $40 or sentenced to q
months hard labor. The drunkard
himself, should he be caught asking for
a drink during the three years of his
deprivation, will be fined $5. Next
time he is detected doing SO he will be
fined more heavily.
Perhaps, however, the most impor.
tant two points about the new licensing
act are those by which, for the first
time, the simple state of being drunk
is made criminal offense, and like
wise the act on the part Of the saloon
keeper of allowing a man already
drunk to get any drunken. Drunken
men and women can now be arrested
whether they make disturbance OF
not. And publican" who even has
a drunkard on his premises has to
prove that he has not supplied him
with liquor IL he wishes to escape q

San Francisco June 1J for the purpose
Of forming an international union OF

After the fourth inning yesterday the Memphis Montgomery game was so top heavy and uninteresting as to degener- ate almost into the farcical state.
 The Frankfurters went out to the grounds with base hits slowed away with several bottles of ginger in their bat bags, both of which were turned loose as the game progressed. Otis Stockdale received his baptism of fire. the bumps coming good and hard and when the fusilade was over, seventeen hits had been chalked up with eleven runs, five of them earned, for the Memphians.
 While Stockdale was pounded hard, the fact that only five of the eleven runs were earned. shows that dumb playing in the infield and bases on balls helped the run column of the leaders.
 The fielding feature of the game was a spectacular cunning catch by Childs and the brilliant work of Delehanty for Mem phis. It is possible that there is not a batting record for one game in the South ern League like Delehantys yesterday. Out of five times at the bat, he got three two-baggers. three-bagger and sin gle.
 Wen French pitched a good game, only eight hits being made off him. though he was rather wild at times, his support pulling him out of several holes, two fast double plays being made.
 Atz, the first man up in the first inning. smashed out two-bagger. Dusty Miller but Aaz scored when Stockdale threw Perry Werden's hit to him way over Whistler's head. Werden going to second. and scoring on Delehanty's first two bagger.
 Tn the third Sam Dungan walked and scored on Delehanty's three-bagger. In the last half, Burnett walked and scored on punched hits by Childs and Moles- worth.
 In the fifty Dusty Miller started in with long single, going to third on Sam Dun- gan's two-bagger. and both scoring on Werden's hit .Werden went to third Delehanty's second two-bagger and third hit of the game, both scoring on Al Mil ler's hit, four runs being the result of the fireworks.
 In the sixth. Atz walked. Dusty Miller struck out again. Dungan walked. and Atz scored on Werdens hit. Dungan scored on Delehanty's hit. which was only a single, but he didn't need a long one. Dusty Miller hit safe and scored on Dungan's second two-bagger of the game, making the score 10 to 1.
 In the last half of the seventh Stickney walked, Spratt hit safe and Busch walk ed filling the bags Childs's hit scored ,Stickney and Spratt. the latter being the only run that the Black sox earned. Nothing more was done and the game closed II and g. the score heinz:
