lect a drink that is appropriate for any
stage OF a campaign. When the nom
nations are first made you are not eX.
cited and beer and cheese sandwiches
seem to fit the case. A little later,
when the orators begin to come out
into the open and shake their hair, you
take cocktails and your eyes begin to
resemble those of a Gagged rat, and you
are ready to quarrel with an opponent.
The next stage in the campaign Is the
whisky stage, and when you have got
plenty OF it the campaign may be said
and lose your teeth, and you
swear strange oaths and smell OF
kerosene, and only sleep in the morn
ing. Then election comes and II your
side wins you drink all kinds of things
at once Tor a week, shout hOarsely and
then go to the Kelley cure. but il your
party loses you stay home and take a
course of treatment for nervous pros
tration and say you will never mix up
in another campaign.
Here in France it is different. The
people have nervous prOstratiOn to

the votes are counted go to an insane
asylum. l do not know what first got
dad to drink absinthe and | don't know
what it is, but it looks like SOAP suds
tastes like seed cookies and smells like
vermiruge. But it gets there just the
same and the result of drinking it Is
about the same as the result of drink
ing anything in France-it makes you
want to hug somebody.
AT home when a man get full on
whisky, he wants to hug the man he
drinks with M weep on his collar,
and then hit him on the head with a
bottle; but here every kind of drink
puts the drinker in condition to want
to hug. Dad says he never knew he
had a brain until he learned to drink
abSinthe, but now he can close his eyes
and see things worse than any mince
pie nightmare, and when we go out
among people he never sees a man at
all, but when a oma passes along,

Senator Mallory Robbed.

Senator stephen k. Mallory. who represents the State of Florida in the national legislative halls, and who is known all over the South and the country generally, was the victim Of sneak thief yesterday, the intruder having entered the home of the dis tingulshed gentleman and helping himself to valuables The sum of S45. which was in the pockets of the sen- ator's trousers. was taken, and bunch of keys in the same pockets was used by the thief, it is supposed. to try and open the doors of several rooms of the residence. These keys were later 1ound In the yard, while the wearing apparel, which had been carefully searched, were found short distance away. A valued match safe was also carried off by the unknown party.
 Senator Mallory personally notified the sheriff's office this morning of the experience He said that he thought his room must have been en- tered between the hours of and 5 o'clock this morning, and that the thief must have been in the house for some time in making the search for valuables.
 brother, A. F. Mallory, at 22 North Palafox Street. The room of the senator overlooks Palafox Street and is close to the front porch. The thief evidently climbed the post of the res idence and gained the upper front porch. On account or the sultry weather, the window of the room had been left ajar and this afforded the thief an easy access to the room in which slept the distinguished citizen Once inside everything was compara- lively easy, and until the senator re- ported his losses to the sheriff this morning nothing was known.
 There have been so many robberies in this city that the officers are being censured for their ill-success in not making captures. The Dr. Anderson residence robbery, when Jewels to the value of $500 was stolen, has been followed by the robbery of the resi- dence of a pilot who was victim to the amount of s20. and a doctor to the amount of s35, both of whom wish that their names be not used as rel atives are out of the city The thieves work with apparent ease, and are as sisted by the fact that windows in many cases are left open and blinds fastened rot securely

In Fine Condition.

The best financial condition possible now exists in both the city and coun- ty. The city mas nearly $20.000 in the treasury which is not appropriated, all though all of the budgets are filled out for the coming and present year, In the county financial circles the same healthy condition prevails. and instead of the sometimes objectionable script which has been used to satisfy war rants in the past, the statement Is made that the indebtedness will be met dol lar for dollar. This statement is made in an official announcement by County Treasurer Williams, and it reflects credit upon the present Board of Coun- ty Commissioners.
 Another item which has been wiped out and which has been of long stand ing is an indebtedness of about $3.o00 which the county owed to the city. The city receives pro rata of all taxes col lected from what is known as the road and bridge fund. but the old Board of Commissioners. which was defeated at the last election. used the money intended for payment to the city to defray other expenses. This was in tended to be made good, but it was not. and the new board had to wrestle with the problem when they entered the office last January.

United States Senator Mallory is the Victim of Sneak Thlef.-Fire
 Does Damage of Eight
 ThOusaAd DO1larJ.

Pensacola, Fla, July lb.-(Special.) -Gaitan Marchetta, an Italian. sud- denly developed crazy streak this morning and ran everybody of the streets in the immediate vicinity of his home. An aged woman named Mrs. Arrass, whose husband Is carpenter, did not notice the lunatic and was caught and badly beaten. her recovery being extremely doubtful. She was attacked by the crazy man in the street, thrown down and with a heavy weapon, weighing possibly several nounds. belabored unmercifully. break ing her wrist and almost fracturing her skull. The shock incident from this experience will go hard with hei' the doctors anticipate.
 When the attack was made upon the old woman, Deputy Sherin Sanders. who had been informed of the antics of the maniac, came up and trien 10 pacify Marchetta. The latter evident- Iy recognized Mir. Sanders, for he De- gan rational conversation. He ad- yanced to the officers side and while engaged in talking, suddenly landed a terrific blow on the deputy's head, fo'- lowing it up with a savage attack up- on the person of the officer and en. deavoring to land the blow several other times. In the meantime two young men who were attracted rushed to the officers assistance and wrestled with Marchetta finally overpowering him and holding him until the patrol wagon, filled with officers, reached the scene, conveying Marchetta, fghtine all the time, to the County jail, where he is locked up awaiting an examlnu- ton into his lunacy. He Is in bad condition himself, for the officers had to use force in bring him to terms.
 Before Deputy Sanders and the po- lice reached the scene, the crazy man created all manner of excitement Tn the community. Everybody he would see on the street he would give chase to, and several children narrowly es- capped serious injury. His wife. who was with him in the room at the time the streak of lunacy was developed, got off with slight injuries She was very much shocked at the mental turn of her husgand, and told the officers that he had not hurt her. Just how she escaped him, though. she does not say. Before being captured ne had the streets to himself. and, seeing a horse and buggy he forced the driver with a club to vacate the vehicle and he seated himself, taking up the reins and urging the horse to d high speed. The buggy came in contact with tree and was smashed to small bits. Then 1t was that the attack was made by the officers and the figting maniac was taken in charge.
 Some weeks ago he was locked up for lunacy, but upon the representa- tions of friends and relatives that he would be cared for his release was or dered few days ago. man inform cd The Advertiser today, the streak of insanity was developed and this was noticed. A report of the matter was made, but not to the officers. He will b. held until a committee can examine fol reason that he did not kill people was because there was fortunately no one in sight just at the hour when his lib- erty was a thing of fact.
