More Dangerous Than Malaria.

The famous Dr. Wulfert has lately pub
lished a paper on the effect of alcohol on
Europeans in tropical countries. II is
more dangerous, he saws. that malaria or
climate fever, and at the same time affects
the digestive organs. the brain. and the
nervous system. A person addicted to the
use of alcoholic liquors viii there have his
stomach entirely out Of order in two
weeks. II is the same way with the nerves.
The moderate use of alcohol continued
with the heat causes an intolerable SOM
nolence, weakness hcaviness in the limbs,
difficulty of working, and low spirits.
The effects on the brain show themselves
by dizziness and in fits of bad temper
that sometimes cause real madness. These
effects Of the alcohol show themselves es-
pecially during the rainy time. when the
air is saturated with moisture. As
proof that these troubles really come from
alcohol can he mentioned that the Hol-
landers in India who do not use alcoholic
beverages are able to work hard either Mt
mental Of muscular labor even during the
hottest times.

The Greatest Curse.

Undoubtedly the greatest curse to the
poor OF this city is the drunkenness among
the wives and mothers. A drinking man
Is often sober but drinking woman al
most never.
The saloon with its side door, its drink
ing booths for women in the rear, is, 1
firmly believe, the greatest obstacle in tho
way of reform. 1t affords an easy oppor-
tunity for women to get their liquor. It
Is more than an opportunity; it ia temp
tation to idle women OF a restless temper
ament.
1t is true that person bent on getsine
liquor, can buy it at some place or other.
But the saloon side door is far more po-
tent, and in my opinion constitutes the
gravest menace OF all that threaten tha
poor of New York. 1t has wrecked thou,
sands of homes by degrading the wives
and mothers, and has dotted Potter's
Field with the graves OF women.-State-
ment from the L:nch Of Yorkyille Police
Court by MAGISTRATE Charles A. Flamme-.

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Komombo Won First Race and Hung
Up New Track Record.

Swimming over the ground like a swallow,
Komombo. the two-year-old black filly,
sister of Hatasoo and Mesmerist, the two
great sprinters that won many races in
the east, ran the four-and-a-half furlong
course at the New Orleans track yesterday
in 0:54 As. This time marked new track
record fol-, the distance.
It was the first time that Komombo had
ever shown her heels to her rivals in
race to the winning post. In private trials
she has shown marvellous speed and on
several occasions sustained her private rep
utatfon by racing with some of the fastest
horses in the country for a short distance.
This was notably the case when she ran
with Hamburg Belle, the Futurity winner
a quarter of mile better than % seconds
at the Saratoga track. Although she
possessed great speed, Komombo never
distance and SO she drtfted to New Orleans
maiden" among number Of culls from
Arthur Featherstone's stable.
Komombo was carded to start In the
opening event along with eleven other two
year-olds of her own class. In the lot was
Trossachs. another disappointment of the
past season. The Bauer boys trainers for
Featherstone, thought well of Komombo,
and backed her accordingly. Trossachs was
in favor with Archie thinner. who thought
so well of her chances that he wired to
Representative Tim Sullivan to back her.
Both FLIES were well played, but the bulk
OF the money went On Ooclle, winch closed

It was only an exercise gallop for Ko-
mombo. She left her field with rush.
opened up a gap Of eight lengths In the
first quarter Of mile and won in slow
gallop by length Trossachs was always
second. and beat Docile out for second
money by six lengths. Fuller was hard at
work with the latter. but she could never
catch the black filly.
Dan McKenna won the handicap in I'M
pressive style This good son Of Pirate OF
Penzance beat his opponents in the fourth
race without the slightest apparent effort
He raced Elsie L. into submission In
half mile, and then taking the lead romped
leisurely in front and won easily by two
lengths.
The eastern delegation OF horse owners
at New Orleans. particularly that contin-
gent headed by Willie Midgely, the ex-
jockey, of Eatonstown, N. j.. won a snug
amount through the success of Tribes Hill
In the second race. The horse that won q
fortune for Jack McGinnis had to be pounds
the best in order to secure the judges de-
cision. He was nearly knocked down In
the rush around the first turn, and when
the back stretch was reached he was last.
He gradually overhauled his leaders In
the run to the head of the stretch, and In
the run home beat out his field by four
lengths.
