NOT A HOME CURE.
Different Treatment Needed For
Varying Cases Of Disease
Railroad Enforcement.

There is no remedy which can
be prepared in any laboratory or
office end sent out by Express or
through the mail which will cure
the drink habit. The reason Is
very simple. The sans treatment
cannot be successfully admins
tered TO patients in different stages
Of the disease. The man who has
been on a periodical drunk, with
bis nerves snd stomach ell torn
up from the excessive use Of
stImulan.s at the time, needs differ.
ent treatment from the man who
takes three or four drinks daily.
Tben agsiD, the man who has been
ora debauch and is suffering from
delirium tremens needs heYoio
treatment and needs it at once. 1t
must be evident TO any ones intel
ligence that the same treatment
cannot be successful IN all OF these
cases. For these reasons home
treatments for the drink habit very
rarely accomplish successful re-
suits.

ANEW TRIAL.
F. Z. Riddle Secures Another
Chance for His Client Though
a Technicallty.

+. Z. Riddle, attorney for Mr.
Atkins, the second hand dealer who
was convicted Of receiving stolen
property at term Of court just
closed, has Succeeded in securing
a new trial for his client through q
te hnieality in the Indictment. Mr..
RIDDLE flied his motion to the
court on Saturday morning Just
before the prisoners weresentenced
and occupied almost two hours in
presenting bis argument.
It seems that the indictment
stated that the stolen property
was received from John Adams
aud j. W. Powell, while the only
testimony introduced was the evil
deuoe Of Marshal Msdsen that the
goods were bought from John
Adams and j. W. Powell. Mr..
Riddle held thai ~here the indiot-
ment designstes the person from
whom the property was received,
it becomes a part Of the descrip-
ilon Of that crime, and must be
substantial by the evidence. He
quoted numerous authorities TO
prove his contention, and so i'm
pressed the court With his argn.
ment that the new trial WAS grant.

Spread of Bubonic Plague CauS-

The spread of bubonic plague to-

such great alarm in Arizona that six

of the marine hospital service:
"Reliable reports from Guayamas,
Mexico, indicate that an epidemic of
bubonic plagne at ropol0m bambpo and
Guayamas is extending north. Car
goes from infested ports are unloading

SAGE HAS THE CASH.
Keeps More Ready Money Than
ANY Other Man.

1t is a common saying that Russell
Sage owns more ready c ash than any
other man in America, says a New
York dispatch. Few people know the
reason. Conservative bankers esti-
mate that he has loaned out on col
lateral at most times cash to the ex-
tent of $25, 900, 900, while in times when
rates are tempting he adds from ST.
OOO, goo to $5,O00,000 to this Interest.
drawing principal. His income on
this alone amounts to over $l,250,O 900
per annum. His income from gilt
edged investments is at least as great.
His one luxury is a team of fast horses.
He pays $4,000 ground rent for the
real estate on which his Fifth avenue
house is built, and his annual eXpens-
es outside OF that amount TO about
$l3, 600. 1t will readily be seen that
he Is not likely to die poor. Few
banks have more actual cash Outstand'
ing than has Russell Sage. His total
fortune is put at $50, 100000.
The reason ne holds few stocks OF
any kind is not hard to find. IL lies in
the fact that he is one of the very few
ffnaneiers who do not believe in the
extensive consolidation of industries.
He believes that most of the indus-
trial enterprises of ahe recent past are
founded on unsound BUSINESS princi-
pies. He is one of the few people who
have refused to become a member of
the Morgan syndicate. He gave as
his reason his belief that the pace was
too fast, and that some one would be
hurt.
