The Delusion of Drink.

The following Is a very sensible edi-
torial in Journal of the American Med
ical Association: GAS a people we are
slow to learn certain facts. The recent
murder in cold blood of a helpless and
innocent wife and mother by a maniacal
husband whose insanity was or
that type which regularly occurs
in the alcoholic, reminds us that
these frightful tragedies recur with
distressing frequency. The relatives of
those who abuse alcoholic beverages
ought to be taught the danger signals.
Whenever a drinking nan begins, with
out cause, to suspect the virtue of his
wife and the honor of his friends ii is
time to confine him where he can do no
harm, at least until the poison is out>of
his brain. Failure to do this is to invite
murder in its most revolving forms. All
this is well known to the members Of
the medical profession. but the physi-
clan is seldom asked for advice in such
cases, and if he were his counsel would
only rarely be followed. No man in
the community is more dangerous to his
family and to the public than the heavy
drinker when he reaches the stage of
alcoholic delusion that is marked by
%unfounded suspicious as to the conduct
of those whom he naturally and in fact
should most trust. When a man begins
to harbor such decisions it is the instant
duty of his friends to put him where he
can do no harm and can get no more
liquor"

Rum Advertising in johannesburg.
There is at least one part of the
world where gambling and liquor adj,
vertisements are illegal, and the ex
ample set by the municipal authori.
ties at johannesburg might with de
cided advantage be followed elsewhere.
BY an ordinance made recently, the
insertion of such advertisements en-
tails the substantial penalty of SIPS,
or two months Imprisonment, and
only very recently offenders, who had
thought that the authorities were CON
tent to treat the law as a dead let
ter, received a rude awakening in
the shape of IN announcement that
the police would take prompt action
if such advertisements were contin-
ued. Obviously the JOHANNESBURG
people are fully alive to the evil
wrought by the bookmaker and his
ally.-National Advocate.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 81.

The danger in walking the railroad
drawbridge across the Raritan river
Is ever being impressed upon us. Sun
day, out Of a party of three, two were
struck by a trian and hurled into the
water. One is dead and the other
hardly expected to live, while the
third is out of her mind from the
shock. 1t would seem that such les
sons as these would have their effect,
but it appears not. 1t is hard for the
employees on the bridge to prevent the
practice. They are stationed on the
draw which is half way across, so
that when a person reaches them it is
about as near to let him continue to
the side he started for as it is to send
him back. Nevertheless, if he was
compelled to return to the side he
started from, he would find he had his
walk all for nothing and might not
|Rttempt to..cross again.

Attempted Murder and Suicide.

The Hampton Stock Farm, in Alex
andria and Fairfax counties, about four
miles from this city, was the scene OF an
attempted murder and suicide about FIVE
O'Clock yesterday evening. Edward
Butler, employed by Mr.. G. II. Smith,
proprietor of the farm, in fit of jeal-
ousy shot a young colored woman
named Harriet Mcknight, and when
another man employed on the farm at
tempted to interfere Butler turned the
pistol on him and attempted TO kill him
also. Butler then went to his room
at the servants quarters and shot
himself in the right temple. 1t is be-
lieved he stood in front of mirror in
order to make sure of his aim. His
death must have been almost instantane-
Gus. DIR. Slaughter, whose home is p
short distance from the stock farm, at
tended the Mcknight woman. Her In
iuries are not serious. Two shots were
fired at her. One took effect in the arm
and the other in the back. 1t is said
that Butler had recently given evidences
of insanity and had displayed signs of
jealousy, the Mcknight woman having
evidenced preference for another col
ored man who is employed on the place.
Butler was native of this city and was
about thirty-fve years of age. He was
formerly employed as porter in several
drug stores here, and was inclined to
dress extravagautly. For the past sew
eral years he had been familiar figure
,on the streets of this city in connection
with the teens from the Hampton Stock
Farm. His remains were brought to
this city early last night and taken to
Demaine & Sons undertaking rooms.
