The liquor and tobacco habits, or
vices as they are called, pay large rev.
enues to the government. The report
of the internal revenue commissioner
shows that he collected $685.. 9O4, OO4 from
liquor and tobacco licenses and taxes
during the fiscal year that ended last
June. or this amount 129.564,24S was
collected on distilled liquor, S4S, POS, 1872
on fermented liquor and $44,655,S0S on
tobacco. Nine-tenths of the total in
ternal revenue came from the sources
named. And it seems that the con-
sumption of both liquors and tobacco
is increasing, the receipts being larger
than ever before. Illinois leads in the
payment of internal revenue taxes, and
is followed by New York, Indiana,
Kentucky. Ohio and Pennsylvania in
the order named. Notwithstanding the
war on cigarettes, nearly three and a
half billions of them were consumed
last year.

A naturalist at Richmond Hill, Long
Island, has discovered. or thinks he
has, that the natural enemy of the
mosquito is the purple martin, mi
gratory bird belonging to the swallow
family. He therefore urges every
householder in malarial sections to
erect martin boxes and encourage the
breeding of the birds.

The President seems to be exerting
himself to win the good will of the
South. He is quoted as saying that
I.if he can put the name Of Stonewan
jackson in the army register he is
going to do it. 1t seems he has de-
parted from the rule relative to the
West Point appointments which he
controls and is going to give one Of
them to grandson of stonewail
Jackson, young man of this state,
dtonewall Jackson Christian, whose
family resides in Atlanta.
On the day the President decided
to make this appointement several
Southern congressman were at the
White House for the purpose of pay
ing their respects to him. They were
given such a cordial reception that,
after they came away, Judge Richard
son of Alabama seemed to voice the
sentiments of the party when he said:
I'm view of what the President said
to us to day we should proceed upon
the presumption that he is going to
give the South square deal"
If that is the Presidents intention
the South ought to meet him half
way. And the indictionsi are that is
her intention. There seems to be
"a pretty general movement to have him
visit the South in the coming spring.
The month of May has been mention
ed as the time. A number of cities
and commercial bodies have already
taken action. And doubtless others
will follow their example.
If it is the Presidents purpose to
give the South a square deal she
ought to meet him half way; ought
to encourage him. The South has
everything to gain and nothing to
lose. There is legislation she wants
and other legislation threatened she
doesn't want. Indeed, there are a
number of ways in which the Presi-
dent can be of help to the South, and
if he is disposed to assist her there is no
reason why appreciation of his good
will shouldn't be shown.
The South is on the up grade. She
is steadily becoming more prosperous.
Her people are feeling their prosperity
and are reaching out in the direction
of a greater development of their re-
sources. For instance, for years we
urged the building of cotton mills
near the cotton fields, and we have
seen here an immense development of
the cotton manufacturing industry.
Now it is proposed that the mills that
make cotton mill machinery shall be
established in the South. And such
mills are coming. The Manufacturers
Record announces that one of the
largest mills for making such machin-
cry is preparing to move from
Philadelphia to Charlotte N. G. Soon
there will be other mills of the kind,
in other parts of the South. And the
more mills there are the greater the
commerce win be through Southern
ports. Even now there is al great
change in the freights passing through
this port. 1t hasn't been so many
years since the freight of the Ocean
Steamship Company, for instance,
was composed almost wholly of cot
ton, lumber and naval stores. Now a
great part of it comes from cotton, iron
and oil mills. Yes the South is on the
up grade, and we should utilize all
the legitimate forces that are avaiIa-
BILE to boost her along.

In Hoboken. N. J., there is a man
OF the name of Meyer who, calling
himself "the worlds counsellor" has
for several years. been reaping a har-
vest by playing upon the ignorance
ard superstition of the people of his
own town, New York and Jersey City.
He protested to cast horoscopes, read
the stars and in other occult ways
wiring from the future it's secrets for
the benefit of his clients. at so much
per wiring. There being a large num-
Der of fools on both sides of the Hud-
son river near it's mouth, Meyer drove
a fiourishing business. But at last
he has run afoul of the law. 1t has
been discovered that there is a New
Jersey law against ciairvoyants and
soothsayers and that they can be pros
ecuted for obtaining money under false
pretenses. The worlds counsellor
will, therefore, have to go out of BUSH
ness, until he can evade the police and
find another nest of fools.

LECTURE At
THE COLISEUM
THE SLUMS OF NEW YORK CITY
AS THEY WE'RE AND THE
TRANSPORTATION.
Mr.. JACOB RnS
Entertains a Large Audience in the
Third Number of the Popular
Lecture Course.

The citizens of Richmond had the
pleasure of hearing Mr. Jacob Riis, in
his celebrated lecture, ''The Battle
With the Slums,'' last night at the
Coliseum.
The lecture was illustrated by stere-
opticon views and was a revelation to
those who had not read the many
magazine articles published about this
great reformer.
The speaker was introduced by DIR.
Lyons, who seemed at his best, and
made a very happy introduction.
After a few Introductory remarks,
the lecturer began description of the
slums In the city of New York. Both
the stereopticon views and the word
pictures of Mr.. Riis impressed those
present with the squalor, poverty, vice
and crime usually found In the tene-
ment house districts of great cities.
The views were real pictures from
the slum districts Of New York as
they existed not many years ago. He
divided the landlords into two classes;
those who make twenty or thirty per
cent on their money and lose their
souls, and those who are satisfied with
four or five per cent. and save their
souls. The former have been COM
PEELED to remove the crowded and un-
sanitary tenement house and the lat
ter have erected the modern fiat in
its stead. Some of the awful dens
of vice and poverty have been torn
down and on their sites are parks and
for the residents of the
flats. The Transforming hand of
Christian charity has wrought won
ders in the chief metropolis of this
great nation. The audience gave
willing ear to every thing the speaker
said, and all will wish him God speed
in his labor of love for the poor and
unfortunate.

ANNA EVA
FAY SUED
Alleged to Have Made Dam
dying Statements While
In a Trance.

Cleveland, o., Jan. 19.-Mind read
ing not only attracts attention and
excites wonder, but it sometimes
draws damage suits. as was demon
strated yesterday when Anna Eva
Fay was sued for $4,000 for re-
mark she is charged with having
made upon the stage of the Grays ar
mory few nights ago.
While in an alleged trance she is
charged with having said things that
were not to the liking of Miss Sadie
Hainey, who was until recently
clerk In a downtown store. At the
performance in question, according to
the story told by Miss Hainey in a
petition for damages filed in common
pleas court last evening, a certain
woman attended the performance of
Miss Fay and asked what had become
of a certain pocket-book containing
money she had lost some time before.
Miss Hainey claims that Miss Fay,
while in one Of her so-called frances,
attempted to answer the question,
which had been written upon a small
i slip of paper.

MICHAEL WARREN
Who Assaulted Him Remains
A Mystery.

Michael Warren. the aged flagman
who was brutally assaulted last week
by an unknown person, is still con-
fined to his home In west Richmond.
Mr.. Warren is getting on as well as
could be expected but it will be some
time yet before he will be able to be
out and at least month ere he can
again resume his duties as fagman.
The shock was all the greater on ac-
count of Mr.. Warren s age and gen
eral i'll health. Strange to say, the
police have absolutely no clue, save
that the man was dark and about
middle height, Mr.. Warren knows
nothing about the personal appear
ance of his assailant. The police have
several men under surveillance but
none seem TO be the right ones. The
officers are working hard on the case
and hope before long to ferret out the
offender and bring him to justice.

.LINCOLN'S
NOTED PICTURE
PRESENTED TO GOVERNOR
PALMER NOW IN POSSES
SION OF
HON. JONH E. LAMB
He Having Purchased the Same at
Sale in Springfield
Illinois.
HON. JONH E. LAMB

Terre Haute, Ind, Jan. 19.-John
E. Lamb, of Lamb, Beasley and Saw
yer, has always been a great admirer
of Abraham Lincoln and for some
time has been anxious to secure a
good picture of the martyred Presi-
dent. Some time ago Mr.. Lamb was
in Springfield, ILL.,, on business and
mentioned the fact that he was anx-
ious to secure a picture of Mr.. Lin
coin. He was in conference with
Messrs. Brown and Wheeler, leading
attorneys of Springfield, and Judge
Wheeler told Lamb that at a certain
store there was a picture of Lincoln
which was worth having. He went to
the store and found that Mrs. John
NJ. Palmer, widow Of the late ex-Gov-
ernor Of Illinois was disposing of
many Of her husband s effects, among
which was picture Of Lincolu pre-
sented to Mr.. Palmer In 1868 by the
President himself. Mr.. Lamb imme-
diately purchased the picture and had
it sent here. It is a large bust pic
ture, engraved from the famous Will
liam E. Marshall painting made while
Lincoln was in the White House and
said to be his best picture Ex-Gov-
ernor Palmer and the President were
close friends, so Mr. Lincoln present
ed him this picture, and, for years,
it was numbered as one of Mr.. Pal
mer's treasured relics Why Mrs.
Palmer would sell it is not known;
for, to most people, a picture with
such a history would be considered
almost invaluable. It is still in the
old fashioned, deep, walnut frame,
but is well preserved. The head of
the great statesman is slightly bowed
and the face shows all the lines which
toll and worry cause. When photo
graphed he was wearing a soft bosom,
slightly mussed shirt, with turn down
collar and carelessly tied bow tie and
a coat with lapels thrown back loose
ly. The picture now hangs on the wall
of Mr.. Lambs office in the United
States Trust company's building,
close to an excellent likeness of the
Tall Sycamore of the Wabash. - the
lamented Daniel Vorhees.

Peru, Ind, Jan. 1S.-The Chicago,

pany, owing to slack business and
long continued winter weather, is cut
ting down expenses everywhere along
the line. January 13 there was re-
ceived here an order from the office
of General Manager w. I. Allen, at
Cincinnati, to the effect that the ex-
penses at the Peru shops must be re-
duced to the amount of$2 500 month.
This was done Sunday night when so
men of the mechanical department
were discharged for an indefinite per-
iod. Orders were also received at
Richmond to reduce expenses and
quite number of men who had their
household goods loaded preparatory
to moving to Peru were notified that
their services here were not needed
A number Of the employees here just
moved from Richmond and now most
of them are out of work. Work on
the new shops has also been suspend
ed, and the plans show that they are
but half completed.
The cold weather has stopped bal
lasting on the north end and not un-
til this is done will the company at
tempt to enter its terminals. Busi-
ness on this road is not good enough
to keep the company's splendid power

company refuses to loan its engines.
At this point there are ten 10O-ton en-
gines which are not in use, and twelve
more recently purchased are on the
road to the Peru shops. The Penn
sylvania, Wabash and Lake Shore
roads, it is understood, have been re-

withstanding that they are idle and
