4 Word to the Girls.

Girls. beware OF the young man
who uses intcyicants. no matter how
: 'moderatly." Human nature is very
much the same everywhere. In
America we have been used to warn
men against the Use OF intoxicating
liquor because of the impetuosity OF
the American character. 1t IS said
that the American goes wild over
whatever he undertakes: becomes too
enthusiastic. and he drinks liquors as
as enthusiastically as he does any
thing else. The certainty Of his
losing control Of his appetite, If he
drinks at all, is almost absolute. Facts
do not seem to sustain the opinion,
once prevalent. that the drinking
people Of other nations are safe from
the results which follow indulgence
here. The French, so often cited as
sober people. although indulging in
the lighter wines, are becoming ad-
dicted to intempcrance: and are
substituting stronger wines Tor the
lighter ones. Appetite is about the
same everywhere. The Chinaman be-
comes u slave to the opium habit: as
will anyone, Of whatever nationality
who uses it. With indulgence, the
appetite for intoNicants grows, and,
while it may take the Frenchman q
little longer to become d drunkard
thar it does the high-Strung. nervous
American he reaches the level at last.
The German may stick to his beer for
longer time, but be, too will reach
the end in time The only safe rule
is to let it alone. If men Will not
drink, there will be no drunkards, but
If they do, beginning ever so lightly.
they VIII lind it grow harder and
harder to subduc the craving until
appetite will rule them to their
destruction.

suicide on Saturday because he had

i1lan 70 Secure Pension for Every War
 Veteran Endorsed.
 The members of Admiral Foote post assembled in the post room in Music hall Saturday night, and matters of considerable interest were discussed and two important committees were appointed. -
 The most important thing brought to the notice of the post was the proposed action of veterans to secure a pension for each survivor of the civil war. This scheme conteniplates the pensioning of every veteran, regardless of disabilities either incurred during the war or at any subsequent time.
 Congressman Scott, of West Virginia commenced agitation along this line a year ago, and each Grand Army post is being enlisted in agitation of the scheme. The idea is to give $12 month to each veteran not already pensione6 on the grounds of disability. Comrades Frederick s. Snow, Frank Jenks and E c. Dow were appointed committee tc carry out the plan of agitation for Ad. miral Foote.
 Another committee appointed was ont to arrange for the trip to Boston next year. when the national encampment will be held. The committee consists O A. H. Embler, W. E, Morgan. James A Church, Lawrence O'Brien, E. E. Tis dale, Charles Rawlings and Henry c Higgins. IF

 Peace be with thee!" John Alexar- der Dowie, Elijah III, spent an hour and half in New Haven Saturday night and inspected the Newberry or- gan at Woolsey hall with a view to pur- chasing an organ of the same make for his temple at Zion City, H. The proph- ct who is making things hum at Madi- son Square Garden, New York, found no time to speak to the public but he could not escape the newspaper men, whom he detests and reviles so fre- quently. He was urbane enough to the New Haven reporters; but, then, he was giving them the benefit of the doubt, since he admitted that he did not know "how bad the boys are"
 Dowie looked over the Yale buildings and said they would look we'll at Zion City and do more good there. He criti- cised Yale education and said he hoped his presence would affect the faculty in it's methods. He expressed himself as pleased with his New York labors, and said that after he had converted the metropolis to Dowieism he would go
 back to Zion City and never return to the east again during his present in carnation.
 He came to New Haven in his private car, Iolanthe, with a staff of cooks, walters, valet and few elders. A small crowd collected at the depot, but despite their shouts for speech he de- l voted his time before leaving to attack l ing a course dinner.

It was learned on his arrival at the station house that he had been discharged from the Middle town asylum two days ago and as he seems to have suffered a relapse it is probable that he will be returned to that institution to-day.
