An Object Lesson in Alcoholism.

Thirty-eight inebriate patients from the
overcrowded Cherokee Qa.) hospital en-
route to the hospital at Independence. car
red in a special car, with locked doors,
and under the vigilant care of two guards,
was the inspiring sight that lately might
have been witnessed. Inspiring? Yes;
thrty-eight inebriates confined like mad
men and quite as dangerous, is a spectacle
that should inspire every patriotic soul
with an adherence of the deadly traffic
that robs men of body, brain and soul
power and makes them a terror and a
menace to society.

thoughts. "Do you know anything

man. 81 remember meeting some
sailor men somewhere. That's ALL"
They stumbled through passage
way and up narrow flight of stairs.
A draught of fresh night air struck
their faces and was delightfully."- cool
and refreshing. The outline of a
short. stocly seaman, with a CLEAN
of gold braid on shoulders and cap,
was silhouetted at the head of the
winding stairs. He stepped forward
as Seymour and Bender came in
sight.
"Haouw de we dew. Mr.. SEYMOUR"

hand, which Mr.. Seymour grasped
rather cautiously. "Haouw air We,

upon the savory spread with avidity.

and steamers arriving today bearing
singing societies and visitors to the

TOURIST CAR SERVICE

The Burlington announces that be-

sleeper will be operated in both dIrec-
lions between Denver and Chicago on
train No eastbound leaving Denver
10 p. m, and train No. 8 westbound
leaving Chicago 10:30 p. m. Cars
have been definitely ordered into the
service and are the best ever built
by the Pullman company. A uniform
ed Pullman porter accompanies each
car and passengers are thus assured
the same attention as IL they occupied
berth in the standard sleeper, while
sl.00 over night, as against $500
standard; s1.50 Denver to Omaha, as
against $3.50 in standard; $3.50 Dem
yer to Chicago. as against $500 In
standard, etc. Each berth accommo-
dates two persons if desired without
any extra charge.
These cars are not so expensively
finished nor so fine to look at as a
Palace sleeper. but are Just as good
clean bedding. good ventilation and
neat wash and toilet rooms. and are
in every way just as comfortable as
Palace sleeper This new feature
of travel VIII be appreciated by the
Colorado people who have hitherto
been obliged to depend upon the SER
vice offered by the through sleepers
from California, which has been mors
or less unsatisfactory. owing to the
uncertainty of making connections in
Denver. Now one can go to Denver

FISTlC CARNIVAL AT BUTTE.

BUTTE, Mont, June 13.-Though
disappointed in an effort to secure
Fitzsimmons, Tommy Ryan and other
big fighters the management OF the
istic carnival in celebration of Min
ers' day has arranged program of
events well worth seeing. The card
provides for a contest late this after
noon between Jimmy Britt of Califor-
MIA and Jack O'Keefe of Chicago, to
be followed in the evening by a bout
between Aurelia Herrera and kid
Broad. The Britt-O'Keefe contest is
naturally attracting most attention.
The two, according to announcement
are to battle for the white light
weight championship" They are to
clash for twenty rounds at 1876 pounds
1t will be their second meeting. In
their first contest which took place
short time ago at Portland, Ore.
O'Keefe was awarded the decision on
foul The decision was most un
satisfactory to Britt and he appears
confident of his ability to reverse ii
when they come together in the ring
this afternoon. Many visitors from
out of town are in the city and from
all indications the affair will be the
biggest sporting attraction ever pulled
off in Montana.

TO HAVE PRESIDENT
AFTER YEARS

WASHINGTON, d. c., June ID
distinguished career of nearly quar-
.er OF century has decided that it
no longer can get along without
president. Thomas Jefferson founder
IT the institution, was OF the opinion
that the university would be better on
without president than with one and
consequently he provided in its char
er that it's affairs should be manag-
I'll by board OF trustees The devel-
,pments OF recent years, however,
nave given rise TO an almost uniVer-
sal sentiment among the alumni and
other friends OF the institution in IA
vor of a president like other colleges
and universities throughout the coun-
try. The change could not be brought
about, however, without a large
amount of red tape. 1t was first nee
essary to obtain the consent OF the
state legislature and then to amend
the charter These formalities hav-
ing been complied with the trustees
meet today to make selection for
the first president OF the institution.
Four men are prominently mentioned
for the honor-Henry S. Pritchett,
president OF the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology; Charles Venable,
president OF the University of North
Carolina; President Charles w. Dab
ney, of the University of Tennessee,
and Professor John Bassett Moore,
professor of international law at Co
lumbia university DIR. Edwin A. AL
derman, president of the Tulane uni
versity and one of the most distin
guished editors of the south. is also
mentioned for the place, but it is re
garded as doubtful il he would ac
cept.
The salary Is to be but $4,000 and
this is regarded as entirely insuif
cient for position OF such impor
| tance In fact. it would probably ac'
as a bar to the acceptance by any one
of those prominently mentioned fol
the honor There is talk OF opposi
tion to the selection of Professor
Moore because his views on the negro
question are said to be not those oI
the people OF the south The situa
tion. therefore, remains very compli
Gated and the final outcome is a mat
! ter Of much speculation.

AMERICAN MONEY TO
ENTERTAIN LONDONERS

LONDON. June i3.-All London So
whose names are to be found between
the covers of the most exclusive blue
books. is on the qui vive in anticipa-
ton of the much-talked-of entertain
ment to be given this evening at her
house in Berkeley Square by the Prin-
cess Hatzfeldt, formerly Miss Clara
Huntington of New York. Practically
it will be the princess's first play for
British fashion, and she has spared
neither energy nor expense in per-
fecting the arrangements. 1t is ru-
mored many surprises are in store for
the guests and that altogether it Will
be the most elaborate affair of the
season If the Princess aims to make
the entertainment a stepping stone to
the highest social position she calcu-
lates well in giving the affair at the
present time The season has been
dull. both from the point of view of
society and the tradesmen, so dull in
fact that the situation evoked an ap-
peal from King Edward to leaders of
the fashionable set to enliven matters
bit by giving some large balls and
other entertainments. In being the
first to respond to this request the
American-born born princess is GER
tain of winning the favor of his ma
jesty. which means an open sesame
to the inner temples of British so
ciety.
big dinner is to precede the chief
function of the evening. At its con
clusion came three hundred guests
will be asked to an evening party at
which various forms Of entertainment
will be dispensed. including perfor-
nance by Jean Granier and some ex-
cellent music.

TAFT REPLIES TO
GENERAL MILES

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 13.-
that portion of General Miles report
relating to agricultural conditions in
the Philippines, says the general state
ment of facts by the lieutenant gen
eral is correct SO far as the depression
due to loss OF cattle is concerned.
He declares, however, that General
Miles recommendation that the RENE
dy be found in the use of army trans
ports for the Importation OF cattle and
food. the latter from America, is not a
good one, as the commission can more
cheaply import cattle from northern
China by means of chartered steam
ers exactly adapted to the purpose.
Importation of wheat and corn from
the United States for the relief OF fam
inc sufferers. Governor Taft observes,
would be much more expensive than
importing rice-a food to which the
natives are accustomed-on the
twelve or fourteen coastguard vessels
that can be spared for the work. 1t is
estimated that the saving by this
method, as compared with the use OF
army transports, WOulu amount TO
from 20 to rs per cent.
While a shortage in the natural food
supply has existed, Governor Taft
says, the conditions have at no time
been as bad as was expected. The
response to the commissions procia'
nation to the people urging the plant
ing of quick-growing crops, such as
rice, sweet potatoes and corn, was
gratifying and much suffering was
thus averted. An unexampled drought
initiated against the efforts Of the
agriculturalists he says, and the com
mission may be called upon soon tC
aid those who may be in distress, but
so far no provincial governor has
made an appeal. The act OF congress
appropriating funds to relieve famine
sufferers is said to place the commis
sion in position to meet any emergen
cy that is likely to arise.
The great loss of cattle by rinderpesl
is the most serious feature of the sit
uation, Governor Taft's report says
The importation of. 10000 immunizet
cattle has been contracted for at $8S
Mexican, head. The commission
will contract for the importation o
additional cattle, which will be solo
practically at cost, purchasers payinf
about so per cent on delivery and the
balance in six months.
