From Bad WhisLcy to Standard

New York, Aug. .-Com,nr-
ing the American and European
types of arlstocracy, Gel. Henry
Watterson, who returned today on
the steamer Oceanic from n trim
to Europe, said:
"I observed European aristocra-
cy pretty closely while I was over

conclusion that foreign aristocracy
is of a much better grade than the
American article. There aristo-
cracy means lineage and brains.
Here-well, it ranges chiefly
from bad whiskoy to Standard

Mr.. Wattorson said that he had
read the accounts of the scandal

so many scientific men connected
with the government at cOmpara-
lively small salaries could live SO

Guilty OF Another's Ruin.

Mrs. Evercd Poole, of Eng

the tragic end of Il promising
young officer. She SAID:
A fine young officer, of tMagni-
ficent physique, but unfortunately
greatlG given to drink, found
himself in the front row Of Cos
pei temperance meeting, when he
was brought face to face, as it
were, with his terrible position as
a drunkard, and nanfully resolv-
ed to reform. He had the cour-
age to take the blue ribbon. Af-
ter that he had no place among
his brother officers. They made
him a. their mess the subject Of
SCOTS and joers, considering that
he had let down crack regiment
by adopting badge which was ut
times seen on the breast Of those
who had once boon low, dcmor-
allied outcasts of society.
"The young man stood out for
three months most manfully
against the derision of his social
ed friends; but at last, like an an
imal at bay, he turned round on
his tormentors, 'Will any one
he exclaimed, for the sake of com
mon humanity, stand by me-!
There was no response. Seeing
she cold scorn on the lips of his
companions, he shouted with des-
peration, Here goes" and, taking
up a glass of brandy, he guIped
1t down. Another three months
passed. Those men were then
following their comrade to his
grave. His untimely end was
due to drink. He was buried
with what they call military hon
ors-the band solemnly playing,
the coffin borne on q gun-car-
riage, and with the usual firing
over the grave. But what were

Prohibition in Maine.
President LILLIAN n. NJ. Stevens,
n. w. G. I. U., Writes About
lt-Not II Failure.
To the Editor of The State:

liquor problem, together with the
often heard remark. HProhibi-
ton does not prohibit in Maine"
led me to write the president of
the National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, whose home is
in Portland, for facts concerning
the success of the Maine law in
suppressing the sale of liquor in
that State. The article which
follows is her reply.
Brewers and Wholesale Liquor
Dealers President of of the South
Carolina w. G. T. L.
81 have seen articles in papers
saying that prohibition in Maine
is failure. Men have come TO
our State who talk this way, and
if this statement is untrue | want
s1me word of refutation straight
from the battle-ground" " lquote
these words from letter received
lately from n South Carolina
friend. The question is similar
to hundreds that come to me in
the course of few months. Un-
doubtedly there are papers in
every State that make statements
like the one referred to. The
"Wine and Spirit News" the
"Criterion," "Bonfort's Circn-
lar" and every other liquor paper
that is published make such state
ments. "Tne Liberal" a COM
para'ively new paper, which is The
official organ of the Brewers and
Wholesale Liquor Dealers as
soclation of Oregon, in common
with all the other liquor papers,
fills It's advertising columns with
liquor advertisements, and its
reading columns it dcvotes largely
to!the condemnation of prohibition,
Usually the value placed upon a
Statement depends upon the relia-
billty of its source. There are,
to ne sure, papers that publish
articles tending to show that pro y,
hlbition does not prohibit; that it
tends to increase drunkards, to
make hypocrites of men, etc We
are told that ir some instances the
publication of these articles is paid
for by the liquor fraternity. The
liquor drinkers, the liquor SYM
pathizers all despise prohibition,
and declare it is u failure.
Maine prohibition has not failed
to stop the manufacture Of alco-
holic liquor within the State.
1t has not failed to reduce the
sale of liquor to such an extent
that it is regarded by the liquor
trade as the most perniclous law
ever enacted.
1t has not failed to receive a
large majority (thrae to one) IN
IT'S favor or wherever submitted to
the voters of Maine.
1t has not failed to receive the
support and appreciation of the
best elements in Maine.
1t has not failed to receive the

GreenviIle, August 2.-Will
Cabe, II middle aged white man,
who killed another white man
named Plumley in the upper Sec
ton of this county IN 1886, sur
rendered to Sheriff Gilreath yes
terday and was lodged in the
county jail.
Cabe was indicted for the mur..
der of Plumley Immediately after
the crime was committed, but the
grand jury found "no bill" in his
case when presented before that
body and np till n few weeks ago
nothing more had been SAID about
the connection of Cabe with the
crime.
There seems to have arisen
somo talk in the nclghborhood of
Cabe's home recently about the
tragedy and another warrant was
issued and placed in the hands of
Sheriff Gilreath for his arrest.
Cabe has been in North Carolina
for some time and he refused to
be brought back to this county
without reqnisltlon papers, which
were secured by Sheriff Gilreath.
Deputy Sheriff Ballenger on his
return from Hendersonville yes
terday stopped at Tryon to serve
the warrant, but Cabe was not to
be found. He quietly walked in
10 the office of the sheriff this
morning and surrendered.
Under the law the act of the
grand jury in finding "no bill''
in the former indictment against
Cabe has nothing whatever to do
with subsequent Indictment and
arrest for the same crime. Trial
