anything happens to chorus girl. by
some strange metemsychosis, she is con-
verified into a Florodora sextette girl

paratively few In number now Father

An official of the fair states that the
scantily clad F.lipinos on exhibition there
are not at all immodest, since dress is
largely a matter of custom and clothes
are merely habit. He is right, no doubt,
but custom that does very well in one
part OF the world is out of place In an
other, and while 1t is all right for the
Flipinos to dispense with trousers, shirts
and other garments, 1t would be extreme
ly bad form for man of fashion to en-
ter q ball room minus these prerequisites.

GREAT REFORM
LAST CENTURY
MRS. MARY ROBERT SMITHS Lee
TURE LAST NIGHT ON DRUNK
ENNEss AND RACE PROGRESS.

Drunkenness and Race Progress"
was the subject of the lecture last night
at Puniho6 lali, under the auspices Of
the Young Mems Research club. Mrs.
Smith gave a historic review of the
habits of various races and nations
with regard to the use of stimulants
and pictured the great reform that
took place during the Nineteenth CEN
fury She concluded that the pro-
gress Of civilization had been in spite
of drink and not because of it. After
describing the great drinking habits
of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth
centuries the speaker said:
In the nineteenth century an extra
ordinary change took place in public
sentiment concerning drinking. The
decline of drinking among public men,
the regulation of the sale of liquors to
minors, the absence of liquors at many
public dinners, the rules against drink
ing enforced among the employees Of
large corporations, the combining OF
excessive drinking to saloon and pri-
vate bars almost wholly, all testify to
a widespread change of habit in the
United States. The United States has,
in sixty years changed from a spirit to
a beer drinking country; we drink less
than half as much spirits per capita
and four times as much beer as we did
in 1860.
This change of public sentiment is
due to a variety of causes; to a wide
spread religious and moral revival
among the evangelical churches; to the
modification of the English physical
type into the more nervous, sensitive
American by change of climate, to the
improvement of living conditions
among the working classes, to the sub
stitution of tea, coffee and soft drinks
for beer and wine. The increase in beer
drinking is due in great measure to the
large number of Irish and German i'm
migrants since 1850.
cat present, the per capita cOnsump-
ton of wine and of spirits is not in
creasing in any European state nor in
the United States. The consumption OF
spirits is decreasing in Russia. Nor
way and the United States; while the
consumption of beer is increasing in
nine out of twelve countries.
HAS Anglo-Saxon civilization de-
veloped because of, or in spite Of
drinking? We may say certainly in
spite of the drinking of spirits. Look
ing back over this historical sketch we
see that drunkenness as a national vice
began with the invention of spirituous
liquors, producing an epidemic among
the nobility of England in the seven
teenth century, among the common
peope in the eighteenth century, il

Norway in the nineteenth century and
reflected in the United states.
The checks which have operated in
the past have been physical develop
ment among the Greeks and Romans,
expense and scarcity of production,
moral reactions, the replacing of coarse
by refined amusements, the betterment
Of living conditions, the development
Of personal pride and ambition In a
democracy. All these suggest that pre-
ventive temperance measures must be
based on knowledge Of our ancestral
appetites and upon knowledge Of the
reasons WHY men drink"

an event of interest to add to It's
chronicles yesterday, when his grace,
the archbishop Of Canterbury and the
highest dignitary in the church Of
Great Britain preached to $500 people
within it's walls.
"In no surroundings in which have

Ilife's activities seemed to whirr and
buzz so restlessly as here. The out
put of human energy is at the full.
The man who comes hither from quiet

ant to be little bewildered, little
dazed even. while he wonders and ad-
mires. And then this thought comes.
How easily in all the tossing of these
RAPIDS must the weak sort OF folk be
submerged and go out of sight and out
OF thought.

going on that we come to care less.
Nothing happens anywhere but some
hurried account of it must in an hour

perplexity the hurrying age, but to go
forth unfinchingly like the Israelite

BLUE LAWS IN LEXINGTON. =
Milk and Ice Wagons Will be Allowed
to Run Sunday.

Lexington, Oct. 8. Lexington ex-
perienced it's first Sunday under the
blue law regime. The restrictions
were greater than they will be again.
Late yesterday afternoon the city sol1-
citor discovered that milk wagons and
ice wagons are "a necessity" and ex-
empt by law. Only few milk wag-
ons attempted to run and their drlV-
ers were promptly arrested. Ice Wag-
ons did not attempt to run. Late
yesterday afternoon the city solicitor
decided that both have the right to
run and the drivers under arrest We're
released.
Drug stores had a right to sell med
icine on prescription only, but this did
not pay to keep clerks, and all drug
stores closed. The only places open
were hotels. livery stables and news
paper offices, the latter two classes
having secured injunctions.
Ex-Alderman c. B. Lowry last nighs
announced his intention of filing u
$4,000 damage suit against those re-
sponsible for stopping milk wagons.
Lowry has two sick children who sub
sist mainly on milk and his wagon
failed to arrive. He called at tho
milk depot and was unable to pur-
chase milk as the managers of the de-
pot had been arrested for violation OF
the law. Lowry says he viii invite

Cheloo, Oct 3.-Official report from
General Stoessel, dated September 90,
reached Chefoo today, confirming the
previous report of the repulse Of the

Fighting was of an extremely severe
character, the Japanese having retired,
Stoes ID the following procla
matio,.. "Glory and thanks to God
Glory to our heroic garrison; thanks
to our valiant volunteers who routed
the enemy from the trenches, destroy
ing them, God has permitted us to
repulse the enemy. Praise to God"
The volunteers referred to were
regulars called upon to take a high hill
which had been captured by the Jap
anese. From semi official sources it
is learned the attack began on the 10Th
along the whole line and lasted four
days, the various positions changing
hands many times.
The high hill mentioned was a very
important position to the Russians.
The Japanese attacked repeatedly. day
and night, finally occupying the posi-
ton on the night of September %, after
suffering very severe losses. The at
tempt to retake this hill being extreme
ly hazardous, Stoessel refused to issue
the order, but. called for volunteers
Every man called upon responded,
whereupon the requisite number OF
men were selected, Lieutenant Roggor-
sky and Captain Sychaff leading them.
Soldiers and officers alike carried
greandes (Explosive shells weighing
from two to six pounds which are
thrown by hand) and with these at
tackled Japanese temporary fortiflca-
tions and drove the latter from all

MYSTERY UNSOLVED
Officials Can't Find the Men Who Tried
to Wreck the New Battieship Con-
necticut.

New York, Oct 3.-The mystery of
the three attempts to wreck the battle
ship Connecticut remained unsolved to-
day and rigid investigation has been
started. So grave was the affair con-
sidered that the last act OF Rear Ad-
miral Rodgers, conmandant of the
ward. before he retired from active
service today, to be succeeded by Rear
Admiral Coghalen, was the issuance of
the following order:
Three malicious attempts have been
made to injure the battleship Connec-
ticut, even to the extent Of involving
the safety of the ship, and those con-
cerned, on occasion of the launching
on September 29th.'
The commandant appreciates the
good work performed up to date by
employees on the Connecticut, which
bids fair to establish new record for
navy yard work, and feels assured it is
unnecessary to invite the cooperation
of ali concerned in preventing recur-
renee of these coWardiy and treason
able acts.

mation of all patriotic American citi-
zens who are employed by the govern
tnent in this navy yard

that the discrepancy disclosed a
few years ago Of foUc hve thousand
dollars in one depa MT because inc
accounting was wrong. But the inves-
tigation is not so much to find big dis
crepancies as it is to see that the work
is regularly done in accordance with
the law. C. c. Heer, of Armstrong,
has been doing the work for the past
two wears. He is now at work in the
office Of the state auditor, the office
having more accounts than any other.
and greater complications. He has
just finished the checking over of the
accounts Of the capitol commission,
the first time that this commission has
been subject to any checking OF Its
accounts. Mr.. Heer states that the ac-
counts were exceptionally complete ana
the commission has records which
show lust when and where every item
of expense was incurred, and these
vouchers go into details so that one
may known not only the character OF
the work done but the Identical spot
where it was done and by whom and
how many hours were consumed. lt
was also found that the expenses or
the commission, considering the mag
nitude Of the work undertaken, have
been exceptionally small, and the com
missioners have not drawn anything
like all of the salary or per diem, to
which they are entitled. There was
much criticism of the Twenty ninth
general assembly for limiting the per
diem of the members to only $500 Il
year. when similar boards engaged in
construction work on a large scale are
usually paid much larger sums, but
the Iowa capitol commissioners have
never drawn even this much in COM
pensation. The old capitol commission
which built the capitol up the point
where it was stopped eighteen years
ago. was much praised for it's economy
but it was always an expensive board
as compared with this one. Mr.. Heer
reports that in going over the bills he
found that the present commission had
also made wonderful record, for get
ting things cheap. even beating the
board of control in some cases in
driving good bargains and that is
saying a good deal.

New York, Oct 3.-Carl Schurz has
addressed letter to the Parker Inde-l

discusses the issues of the campaign.
He denounces the policy of the re-

Roosevelt as man whose "tempera-

properly the functions Of his high
Office. q

the following language:
"And when, after an examination OF
his later career, have now to form, for
myself, the conclusion that in import
ant respects those high expectations
have been disappointed, and that inn
plicit confidence would be dangerously
misplaced.
IT do not deem President Roosevelt
capable of seeking an opportunity for
plunging the country into a foreign
war merely to crafty his ambition or
to give play to his fighting spirit, but
do think that whenever there are two
ways of deciding matter of contro-
versey-one the slow, patient, diplo-
matte, peaceable way, the other the
short cut by the use Of force--Mr.

clined to choose the short cut.
