Capt, COghIan's Companion.

Rear Admiral Coghlan, Command
ant of the New York Navy Yard, is
one Of the fun loving officers of the
navy. A good story is told Of him
and a witty Irishman employed as a
ticket chopper at one of the Staten
Island ferries
1t is the custom of the ferry com
pany, when selling tickets for a pas
sage on the boat and on the elevated
road on Staten Island to give to the
passenger ticket with an attached
coupon, the ticket to be taken up at
the ferry entrance and the coupon to
be retained for the railroad ride
One day, when Admiral Coghlan
was only Captain, and in command
of cruiser then lying Of Thomp-
kinsyIlle, he purchased his ticket and
coupon and, not being familiar with
the route, as he passed through the
ferry entrance he dropped both of
the ticket and coupon into the ticket
/ box.
The ticket chopper, observing the
mistake, and not knowing Captain
Coghlan from one of the wealthy res.
idents of Staten Island, as he vas in
civilian clothing, looked up and said
in a good natured, sarcastic manner,
Mister gentleman, what did you
drop both tickets in the box, for
Sure yen have to pay anothar fare
when ye git to the Island.
Capt. Coughlan at once realized he
had made mistake. and as he knew
he couldn't recover the coupon, the
lrishman having chopped it down
he replied in good humored way
and with a wink of his eye.
Zone for myself and the other was
for a blamed fool -
We'll, We cant get it back for I've
chopped it in; it'll have to do for
both of yez, responded the ticket
chopper.
Capt Coghlan passed on to the
boat, paid the extra charge, on the
railroad, and then went to his ship.
The following day he made the trip
down at about the same time and the
same ticket chopper was at the box.
but as the officer passed through the
lrishman noticed that he tore off the
coupon and dropped only the ticket
in the box, and he look up with a
smile and said.
"He is isn't wild ye this time, i.
he?'
mo, ! left him at home today, al
a punishment for his costly ignor.
ance. responded Captain Coghlan,
and then he handed cigar to the
: ticket chopper, saying

FOUND GUILTY.
fhe Jury Brings in a Verdict Of
Guilty Against H. H. Loving.

Paducah News Democrat The jury
in the case OF II. H Loving, charg
ed with the murder Of II. A. Rose.
brought in a verdict this afternoon at
$3.50 o'clock, finding the defendant
guilty of involuntary manslaughter
and sentencing him to five years in
the state penitentiary.
Mr. Loving took the verdict quiet
y but his attorneys showed evident
disappointment They at once en-
tered a motion for a new trial
The arguments in the Loving case
were heard by large crowd, the
court room being crowded to its full
capacity with men and women eager
to hear the able speeches that were
made
OF the speeches delivered, and es-
pecially that Of Hon. Ollie VI. James
for the defence, the Paducah Register
says
At o'clock sharp Judge Reed re-
convened court and Congressman Oh
lie VI. james started of the talks.
He spoke until shortly after eight O
clock when commonwealth = attorney
John {. Lovett took the floor and
closed the argument finally. 1t took
him until $50 O'Clock when the ease
was given to the jury
The speeches were the greatest
ever heard underneath that roof, and
evidenced bright oratorical ability on
the part of the attorneys interested
in the case. They all had their cas-,
well in hand and held the minute at
tention of the filled court room thro-
ughout, to the extent that a pin
could have been heard to drop on sc
count of the stiffness.
Judging from the expression
heard from the spectators the con
census of opinion was that the grea
test effort fell from the lips of Con
gresham James, every one express
ing the belief that the most brillian
argument ever heard in that buildin,
was that by the distinguished a n
Howery Congressman, who in Il spell
binder manner occupied the floor 70
over an hour while dwelling upon tn
different features of the proceeding
His imposing and striking figure
combined with his beautiful flow o
oratory, and impressive, emphasizing
manners, formed scene never to b
forgotten.
The jury which fixed the penalt
was composed of the following nance

gathered into organized societies un-
der the Leadership of the w. G. T. u.
Each state and territory has its own
branch, which Is divided into Dlvi-

building up OF character, the educat-
ing OF the boys and girls in the prin-
ciples of total abstinence and purity
and the training Of them to become
efficient workers along all lines OF re.
form. Each Legion IL divided into
senior and junior grades and course
of instruction is given soovering the
different branches Ut temperance work
The pupils are taught the effects Of
alcohol upon the body and upon the
Intellect. The terrible cost of the
drink habit Is plainly shown; slso its
effects upon the family. Other phases
OF the temperance question are taught
to the pupils. Afsec completing the
course the pupils graduate and ther
become members of the state legion.
The pupils are given this instruction
while they are young, and by the time
they beet me of the age At which in
diligence In alcoholic liquors ia usual

method adopted is certainly com

The Cash Value of SObrietY.

The Chicago 4 Alton Railroad Co.,
in rules recently issued for its en-
ployes, forbids men in it's employ to
visit saloons, race tracks, dance halls
or any other resorts where liquor Is
sold or gambling permitted.
The company makes no pretense OF
carrying on moral crusade. 1t sim
ply strives to live up to business prin-
ciples which depend upon the compe-
tency and reliability Of its men.
Good service, it holds, depends upon
steady habits, and both help insure
public safety.
"A}l the things which are prohibit
ed,' says General Passenger Agent
Charlton, "either tend or might tend
permanently or temporarily to impair
mans mental and physical powers. "
This puts the question: of temperance
and steady habits upon basis where
even the most benighted morally can
clearly understand it and see that
there is but one practical side to 1t.
The man who will not hearken to
moral appeal is apt to lay great stress
upon his regard for the practical. He
doesn't care for the sentimental-gush,
he calls it. He must have hard fact.
Well, here he gets just what he
wants. The hard fact is that he must
be sober and steady or give up job
where sobriety and steadiness are es-
sential qualities.
And wherever he turns nowadays he
finds that same hard fact staring him
in the face. In all lines of paying
employment sobriety and steadiness
are becoming more and more rigidly
required.
With the value of reliability reduced
to plain dollars and cents, even the
dullest, who can't comprehend the elm
plest ethical principle, can easily
grasp its meaning.
Lots of men can't be reasoned with
thru their heads at all, but must be
appealed to thru their stomachs. They
must be taught, not by precept, but by
starry alton. The world owes more Of
it's moral conduct to hunger than most
people suspect.
Time was in this country when iti
boundless natural resources offered
unlimited employ ment to unskilled and
irresponsible men. Then men might
disable themselves by drink and I'm.
steady habits and still get%. on in ,
way. But times and conditions have
changed marvelously.
Today competition is strong and thu
ittest get to the front and the unfit fall
TO the rear. Big employers sre forced
to exercise great care in the selection
of men for all grades Of work above
that of common labor. Success re-
quires able and reliable employees
and drink is disability.
It is not q matter of sentiment. Il
is not question of abstract orality
It is q matter of business.-St. Pau
