TO TEST MONROE DOCTRINE.
venezuelans viii Welcome Arrival Of
French Warships.

Willemstad, Curacao, Feb. 12.--Cor-
ditions in Venezuela were unchanged
at the date of the latest advices from
that country. The censorship Is rigid.
One report Is that the attitude of
President Vicente Gomez, who is said
to be plotting a revolution against
Castro in case of a French blockade.
is causing some anxiety. 1t is report
ed also that General Antonio Velutini,
second vice president, has a secret
understanding with France and that
he aspires to the presidency. All the
turmoil over the French Gable com.
pany's concession is attributed to Gen.
eral Velutini, and it is said that he
will soon abandon President Castro.
The total strength of the Vene.
zuelan army is reported to be 5000
men, and not $4,000, as the army ac.
counts state. The treasury shows a
balance of 100000. President Castro
is said to be boasting that he will test
the Monroe doctrine.
The reports say that the best in,
formation in Venezuela shows that
France or any other power can rely
upon almost the entire populace to
fight President Castro and that anx.
iety Is everywhere expressed for the
| arrival Of the French to solve the
problem, which Is beyond the re-
sources Of the Venezuelans. Money
will be decidedly scarcer IL a war
should break out and the government
has made no provision whatever for
the commissariat. President Castro
continues his campaign against for.
| eigners and has expelled a man named
| Van Kestern.

IDENTIFYING TOWNS.
WHY LITTLE is KNOWN ABOUT SMALL
SETTLEMENTS.

No signs by the Roadside Giving
Their Names--lIOw Little Towns
and Villages Can Advertise Them
selves and He More Self Assertive.
A Worcester (Mass9 newspaper Ia
ments that one can ride In trolley ear
through all the cities. towns and viii
lagos from Boston to New York with
out learning the names of any of them
from legend placed by the wayside
to attract the travellers attention, says
the Philadelphia Ledger. The state
ment Is little exaggerated. The great
towns are readily identified, but the
case is different with respect TO the
smiling villages to be. found on every
electric line which runs to the country
side
Scarcely any of these alluring little
settlements can be Identified unless one
happens to pass the postofiiee or the
steam railway station or is fortunate
enough to be riding with Il knowing
and communicative conductor One of
these officials, employed on street
railway line running out of Phlladel-
phia, had such slight knowledge Of the
territory through which his car was
passing that lie was unable to give to
an interested passenger the name of
fine stream spanned by graceful Old
fashioned, stone arched bridge over
which the tracks We're laid.
Fortunately this dense ignorance of
local geography, of the names of his
torlc buildings and scenic features gen
orally rs to which the alert traveller
wishes to be Informed, is not common
among rolley eur conductors. The
place with the loquaeious driver in the
old stagecoach days needed no better
guidebook, but he Is gone, and the
casual traveller must seek elsewhere If
he would discover his latitude and lon
gitude.
Our pretty little towns and villages
should be more self assertiYe and blow
their trumpets -louder for the sake OF
the wayfarer who speeds through them
in the "broomstlck train" 4 readable
sign at the boundary line would be
helpful Buildings along the wayside

Citations should be appropriately la
beled. In one of the New England
towns tablet IS placed on a fence
which informs the visitor that 1t is

mates were hanged for practicing

tory.as we fly.
Many churches bear no name upon
their wallis. 1t would be satisfactory
to know what denomination worships
in such an inviting place. There may
be scores of business signs along the
routc anu none giving the hl0at ihiR04
tant information of all, the name Of the
settlement. one may travel through
long succession of villages without
learning their names. Property own
ers are too modest We wish to know
who lives in the commanding residence
on the hill or in the attractive cottage
embowered In roses. The trolley lines
have done much to waken up our viii
lagos, but they have not learned how
to advertise themselves.

Alcohol is a narcotic poison, of which
the pernicious effects are to be seen on
every hand. Its use is attended with
dangers that attach to the prescription
Of no other substance In the pharme-
copoeia. These dangers are not moral
only, but physical, resulting from the
action Of alcohol on the tissues general
", but especially on those Of the nerve
centers. The use of alcohol as a medica-
ment or alimentary substance for pa
tlents suffering from specific infective
fever will soon be relegated to the linn

1t was Thursday, trial day at head
quarters. and the session in the dep
uty commissioners room was nearing
its end.
The city had been treated to a few
disclosures in the police department,
and hints by the prosecuting powers
seemed TO promise even grayer revela-
tions.
The plague-spot first to be probed
was the Twelfth precinct. Here the
ruddy illumination of the illegal re-
sorts had thrown a vicious glow over
the entire district.
That the rampage of vice could not
have been as unrestrained as 1t was
without the eonnivanee of the police
captain-the Old Man--went without
saying; but to make surer of his con-
viction his adjutants and intermedlar-
les were first brought within the tolls.
1T was owing to this plan of proce-
dure that John Nugent had found him
self the defendant in the star trial on
this Thursday. 1t had gone against
him. The census of the police de-
partment was less by one, and the I'M

Liquor User Worth Less Than Alb

Liquor User Worth Less Than Alb
staiRer In Labor Market.
While organizations which concern
themselves with the moral welfare of
the people are spending time, money
and honest effort In an attack to over
come the liquor traffic and its attendant
evils by appealing to the sentimental
side of human nature the railroads and
certain other great corporations are
actually accomplishing this end by a
practical appeal to the pockets of their
employees, Rules prohibiting employees
from indulgng In liquor or freduenting
saloons while ON duty are now strictly
enforced by nearly every Americah
railroad, and within the last few weeks
the Chicago and Alton company has
consistently amended Its conduct regu.
lation so as to prohibit officials of the
company carrying liquor on their prl-
Vate cars when travelling on business
or making tours of inspection.
This particular action marks the lat
est advance in what we may truly call
the only effective war that can ever be
waged against incompetence. 1t Is
powerful because practical. The aver
age sense of right and wrong when dis.
ISOLATED from the material is not suffl-
ciently developed to be appealed to by
arguments concerning moral obligation
and the like. But there are very few
men who have to work for living who
are not able to appreciate the value of
temperance when they see other men
lose good positions because of intemper-
ance. There are very few men who
are willing to disregard the argument
of the flattened pay envelope
1t may have been possible In the slow
and easy going times of old for a man
to Indulge in strong drink with more
or less regularity and still keep pace. In
some measure at least, with his duties
1t is not possible now. The last half
century has wrought numerous changes
In men, manners and conditions, but
none more radical than that concerning
the use of liquor. Whereas 1t was looi.-
ed upon as the mark of u gentleman or
a good fellow fifty years ago, 1t Is now
generally regarded as Il sign Of In
efficiency He who drinks, however
skilled or talented, is worth less than
he who does not And this admirable
change has been brought about In part
by the railroads and other great cor
porations which have had the good
sense to see that the only way to solve
practical problem is by applyingprac-
teal rules and methods.-Phiadelph
