CARE FOR INEBRIATES,
Proposed Bill to Be introduced in Con-
gress.


Steps are being taken in advance of the
meeting of Congress by several citizens of
Washington to nave prepared and intro
duced early in the session bill providing
FOR the care and treatment Of inebriaIes in
the District of Columbia. Such a measure
Is favored by DR.. William A. White, super
intendent of the Government Hospital for
the Insane, 1t is said, provided it is not
made an omnibus affair, like the bill that
was introduced last year. but never saw
daylight after having been sent to a COM
mittee room. DR.. White did not favor that
measure, he informed a Star reporter be-
cause 1t proposed to send to the institution
under his charge "all inebriates id OTIS i'm
beetles and unruly children in the District
of Columbia"
IF we were to mix that promiscuous
class of unfortunates with the insane" said
DIR. White, ut would result in destroying
all the good we had accomplished OF
course, l believe inebriates require institu-
tional treatment, but such treatment should
be administered in buildings removed from
those occupied by other classes of pa
TENTS
DR.. White also favors the adoption by
Congress of a new law governing the COM
mitment of the insane to suppiant the
present law, which, in his opinion, Is cruel
and should be wiped from the statute
books. He says II goes away back to the
colonial period, and is crude and inhuman
compared with the enlightened laws that
have been adopted by many states for the
commitment and care of the demented. He
thinks IL Is both unjust and unnecessary
to compel the families of the unfortunate
insane to have to go in court and drag out
family skeletons, exposing matters that are
sacred to the immediate relatives alone.

SELLING GOODS IN GERMANY.
The Stringent Regulations Imposed on
Foreign Statesmen.
From Success Magazine.

from success Magazine.
The German regulations connected with
the foreign travelling salesman who may
desire to ply his trade within the kaiser's
realm are particularly stringent. All for
eign statesmen must procure licenses. If the
articles handled should include fruit, eggs.
poultry. beeswax or honey. the salesman
will be refused a license If he has ever
been under police surveillance, or If he has
ever been known as a habitual drunkard
or vagrant, though what selling beeswax
has to do with vagrancy or drinking. more
than any other article of commerce, is not
apparent. 1t will be we'll for any salesman
considering trip through Germany to look
up the regulations at any German consul
late before starting. He may DE spared
expense and possible humiliation by so do
ing.
A case in point was the experience of a
salesman for typewriter mandatory
who went across to work Belgium, and at
the last moment thought he would make a
short trip through the northern part of
Germany He carried with him a COM
pound prepared by himself which contained
beeswax as one of the ingredients, and
which he desired to introduce as a lubricat-
ing article for typewrfters and other deli
cate mechauiSmS.
When he presented his passport at the
first custom house across the frontier. an
official began to question him. He
first asked if his only line was that OF type
writer's, ana, Wnen he replied that ne mad
a lubrca ting compound to sell, the official
demanded to know it's ingredients. When
beeswax was mentioned a new line of in
terrogation was started.
Have you ever been under police sur
veillance?" asked the official, crispIy.
NO" replied the American. But
what"
Have you ever served a sentence Of
three months or more for any criminal act
or misdemeanor?" he was interrupted
At this the salesman became angry.
Are you trying to insult me? he cried
What do you mean by asking such idiotlc
questions? l never stole anything in my
life, and even If l did | never stole bees
wax. l bought that wax and paid for it.
If you require an autobiographical sketch
of my life, III have one printed and mailed
to you; and. even If 1t is necessary to make
a fool of yourself, you can't make one of
me- I don't have to sell my compound in
your country. There are other places. Back
home in Gods country they don't make
of before he is allowed to sell corn plas-
ters"
The official was unmoved. He made an
entry upon a piece of paper, and contin-
ued:
Have you one or more children not prop
erly cared for. or who. IL between six and
fourteen years Of age"
He did not finish the question. There
was no need The American had fed. evil
IDENTIFY convinced that only the angel Ga
brieI could sell beeswax in the German
empire. The regulations under which this
commercial traveller was Intercepted can
be found on file at any German consulate
They were in force as late as May, 1905.

LoNDoN's RIVER posrMEN.
How Mail Is Delivered to Sailors on
Their Ships.

From the London Telegraph.
London has the distinction of being the
only port where the ships lying at anchor
are privileged to have their letters delivered
to them by river postmen, it being custom
airy at other ports for sailors to apply per-
sonally for their letters unless the ship is
in dock. The Thames Is divided into two
postal districts, each under the control of
a river postman. who delivers letters and
parcels every morning in a craft which
sembfes a fishing boat more than anything
else. OF these districts the first extends
from the custom house to Limehouse and
the second from Limehouse to Blackwell.
The river postmen start on their rounds
punctual1y at o'clock every morning and,
needless to say. there Is only one delivery
day. The mailbag may include as many
as five hundred letters, but this number Is
largely increased about Christmas time AS
he glides from ship to ship the river post
man calls out: "Ahoy there" and hands
up the letters attached to boathook to
the waiting crew.
1t only takes from four to five hours to
deliver the mali. so that the postman does
not waste much time. In foggy weather,
however, 1t takes considerably longer ow-
ing to the difficulties Of finding the various
ships and OF steering in between the large
vessels as they lie at anchor. AT such times
there Is also great danger OF being run
down by passing ships. As a general rule
the river postman works down the left bank
first and then returns on the other side.
It Is not generally known that the task of
delivering the river letters has been more
or less O family monopoly for several hun
dred years. and the forebears of the pres-
emit postman of the first district have been
employed at the work almost since the let
tiers were delivered to ships on the great
tideway at all In recognition Of their
services In this direction George III pre-
scented the family Of Evans with the free
dom Of all the ports In the Kingdom and Q

Is. OF course. much prized as an heirloom.
The river postmen have also their own

trousers usually worn by Thames rivermen.
but bordered with red and bearing the post
ONCE badge. In winter the river postman's
work is extremely trying, owing to the In
tense cold. and 1t Is by no means an un-
usual thing for the spray from the river to
cause his clothes to freeze till they resemble
boards. But he has always the consoia-
ton of knowing that at the end OF his serv-
ice he viii be able to settle down for the
rest OF his days on comfortable pension.
