City governments in Great Britain are fighting the drink evil All
 through the provincial boroughs pla- cards are posted on bill boards and cir
 culars are being distributed in factories
 and workshops calling attention to the harm rum6 6oEs And this is the substance of what they say: Alcohol is really a
 narcotic, dulling the nerves, like lau-
 danum or opium, but is more dangerous than either in that often its first effect is to weaken a mans self-control, while his passions are excited; hence ] the number of crimes which occur un- der its influence. The habit of drink ing leads to the ruin of families, the neglect of social duties, disgust for work, misery, theft and crime It leads
 also to the hospital, for alcohol pro-
 duces the most various and most fatal diseases, including paralysis, insanity,
 diseases of the stomach and liver, and dropsy. It also paves the way to con-
 sumption, and frequenters of public
 houses furnish a large proportion of the victims of this disease. It compli-
 cates and aggravates all acute dis

 Tn short, alcoholism Is the most ter rible enemy to personal health, to fam fly happiness and to national prosper ity. Some will of course say this is an exaggeration, but there is truth enough in it to make the thoughtful think.

The naval constructors are much in- 4erested in seeking the old plans and other information relating to the frigate Constitution, which is to be restored at khe Boston navy yard to a condition and appearance as nearly resembling the ship as first planned as possible, The original plans long ago disappeared They were probably destroyed by much handling, as was often the case with such papers. The first copy is still in existence. and is believed to be authen- tic, although there was no such thing as tracing in those early times. These plans were found some years ago in a library in Philadelphia, and delivered to the Bureau of Construction and Re- pair. They had evidently been handed around from one to another person as of no special value even in an historic way. The officers of to-day say it prob ably never occurred to the persons who possessed the plans that there would ever be any use for them in construc- tion way. The only information now missing is concerning the fgurehrad of the ship. Upon that point opinions diff fer. some of the officers holding that the ship carried merely scroll, and others that it was an elaborate design. There will be conscientious care taken to restore the old Constitution as she was in her prime.

During the Civil War MT. Werten- berger kept restaurant in a central Indiana town. As all commodities were high at that period, in consequeno of an inflated currency, his pie crust had no more shortening in it than was absolutely necessary, lard costing 25 cents a pound and more. One day a transient customer came in and called for pie, which was served to him, and he set out to devour it forthwith. But

the crust was so short of shortening that he could not get his fork through 1t. He struggled with it manfully for a few minutes, and then laid down his knife and fork in despair.

Queer how reluctant people are to be benevolently and beneficently annexed, Iprotected and civilized Our little brown
 brothers didn't take kindly to the pro- cess, and the Kaffirs in South Africa don't seem to know what is good for them. Neither do some other Africans. It is suggested in London that small party of American colored preachers who have been advocating the Ethio- plan propaganda, Africa for the Afri- cans," should be deported from South
 Africa, The government has not taken any action, The agitation against the preachers has been revived by the re- cent trouble at Cape Town, for which
 they are held by certain London papers
 to be partly responsible. They have made no secret of their mission to
 South Africa, advising the natives to use their efforts to secure black su- premacy in that part of the world,
 The love of freedom and self-govern- ment has made lot of trouble in the world. It isn't so very long ago that our own ancestors were busily and suc-
 cessfully refusing to be protected and
 governed.

On Salt river, Arizona, there is in course of construction what is said to be the highest dam in the world. When it is completed in 1908 Roose- welt, the town on the site, will be 172 feet below the level of the water. It is anticipated that the head obtained will be the means of securing abundant power. A temporary power plant, a ce- ment mill, ice plant, lighting plant and sawmill have been completed. A tele- phone line has been installed to the head works of the power canal, eigh- teen miles above Roosevelt, and extend- ed in the other direction to the site of the great dam, which is thirty miles from Phoenix.

Sinai was known as "the turquoise land" in very ancient times, and Dr. Flinders Petrie believes that it was the first mining center in the world.

Thomas A, Edison has made another discovery. "A few years ago." he said the other day to a representative of the Musical Age. "when the talking machine business was still a dubious proposition, a list of the new records was often handed me for approval. After hearing them I would mark D'good,' fair or rotten" against the compositions, so as to class them for trade. The rotten records always made hit with the public. Now, all have to do is to condemn a piece of music and the factory works overtime 6 supply the demand"

 The market opensd steady a. unchanged prices to decline of points in sympathy under expectations based on the New York close of yesterday. Private cables. howev- CT. report an improved spot demand and after the recent decline of little over a cent a pound from the top. some local shorts began to cover and take the long side for a turn. The market consequently steadied up soon after the opening and toward midday, on continued covering and buying by Wall Street interests. Business was very slack in the afternoon and prices sagged off a few points under realizing. but the final tone was steady with March selling about 20 points up from the low level of yesterday. One of the factors in the advance was a report issued by Iecal authority giving the and indicating that but four per cent. of the crop remained to be picked on December 22. There were rumors also hat the Ma tional Ginners' report expected Friday would be bullish and the reports of better trade demand were accompanied by wires claiming firmness among holders. Receipts were lighter and the weather south wet and unsettled.

Defaulting witnesses Apprehended

After a search of over three weeks
 Sheriff Van Pelt, of this county, re-
 turned to the city this morning with
 two defaulting State witnesses in his
 custody, whom he located and arrest
 ed twelve miles from Kentwood, La.
 Both are negroes, and are the only eye
 witnesses to one of the most horrible
 murders committed in this county for
 a number of years. The negroes are
 Ike Moore and John Malone, who were
 formerly employed at the Mays turpen-
 tine camp up to a few months ago. The murder occurred there, and from tes- timony adduced 1t seems that l.. H [. Bingham, a negro also employed there,
 almost severed the head of another
 from his body. Just as he was finish ing the murderous work Moore and Ma lone walked up, not knowing that such deed was being committed.
 When the murder was discovered
 Moore told of what he had seen, and he and Malone were held in Jail as
 witnesses pending the action of the grand jury. Recently that body met and returned a true bill against Bing- ham, also ordering that Moore and Ma l lone be released from jail, 1t being be- lieved they would remain until the trial which was then set for December IT. l When the date arrived the negroes fail- | ed to appear and it was then found that they had skipped out of the State. The | Sheriff began a search and the case was postponed until January IS. The Sher- | if finally succeeded in locating the ne- groes at a turpentine camp In Louis- | jana and after much trouble captured | them Sunday night. Had the negroes
 not been found the State would have | been compelled to allow Bingham to 1 go free, as there Is no other evidence l against him.

Confederate Memorial Exercises.

Camp Ward, No. 10, United Confed- crate Veterans, conducted its annual memorial exercises at the county court house last night, and although the weather was very indictment, nearly 400 persons were in attendance and enjoyed the occasion. The services were in honor of those of the Grey who had departed to the Great Beyond during the past twelve months. and when roll was called there were many missing ones who had answered to the call at the last memorial service.
 Whenever the name of one or the departed members was called, com rade would arise and feehngly speak of the life of the deceased, and where possible would recIte some incident of the Civil War with which the de- ceased was connected or some deed or valor. which proved most interesting to the large assemblage. Hon. John S. Beard delivered the address of the evening. and dwelt upon the cause of the war, the heroic fight of the men of the Southland and the fortitude and self-sacrifice of the women., who de- served great praise. His address was received with great applause. The ser vice ended with an excellent musical program rendered by local talent.

nisnosItion of ConYIctr

The question of whether or not the county should lease it's convicts and employ free labor on the county roads, was definitely settled last night, when the Board of County Commissioners voted to refuse the offers of a number of convict agents to lease all county prisoners. Many members of the board especially those residing in the city, were favorable to leasing the convicts, inasmuch as it costs in the neighbor- hood of S1,000 per month to conduct the camp, feed the prisoners, pay guards, etc. and 1t Is then claimed that the work done Is not satisfactory and twice as much work could be obtained for this sum by employing free labor. The country members of the board, however, voted against leasing the convicts and the present system will be continued.
