A Sell Appointed COIsNatOr Of the National Morals Is the
Most DstHsted Man In New York Clty-Cause Of WO-
man Committing Suicide.

II many doubt the intelligence,
there are few who doubt the SINGER
ity OF this self-appolnted conservator
OF national morals. Religious TO
the point OF fanaticlsm, he has often
allowed his piety to outweigh his
judgement and has prosecuted unbe-
llvers with all the venom an ancient
inqplsltor. Tho late Charles C..
Moore. an erratic but brilliant Ken
tuckian who published n paper devo-
ted to tho PRONUNCIATION of prohibition
and infldellty, was sent to the peni-
tertiary by Comstock mainly because
OF his irrellglous beliefs, but was
almost Immediately pardoned by
President Mckinley. Miss Ida Grad
dock, n purity worker of Philadelphia
was repeatedly arrested by Com
stock and having finally been con
ylcted Of writing an obscene book,
committed suicide. Many prominent
jurlsts and physicians tes-
titled that tho book In question was
not obscene, but on the contrary con
tained information vitality necessary
to the welfare of the race. Or. d.
NJ. Bennett, for many years the edl-
tor OF New York forethought paper,
was arrested innumerablo times by
Comstock and was finally convicted
and sent 20 the penitontlary his
crime. consisting OF the sale OF an
alleged obscene book which was at
the same time being sold in nearly
every book shop and department
store in the city. II is in view of
such cases as these that the enemies
of Comstock declare that the almost
power given him is but a
club with which to hammer tho UNI
and unorthodox.
In carrying out what he considers
his duties Comstock has been many
lines the subject Of physical attacks.

Comstock, who is United States
postoffIce inspector with salary of
81 per annum, is perhaps the most

Colorado G. Southern IN Denver Mon
day from Fort Worth, Texas.
The first short line between Denver
and tho Gulf of Mexico is now COM
pleted. II Is the shortest by more
than 100 miles, and for that reason
expects to catch much Of the passen-
ger business to and from Galveston.
Although the line has been COM
plotod TO the Gulf, II will not be open
for passenger business until January
/, or later. The roadbed will be bal
lasted, which IS unusual wifi a new
road, before passenger trains are run
over It. The roadbed will be pound

It Is made solid 1t will be used for
passenger traffic.
The C. & S. officials say that they
have not tied up with any individual
steamship line on either freight or
passenger business from the Atlantic
ports, but are open to receive bust
ness from all lines. Later on the
company may secure steamships of
its own to handle the freight bust

the Cuban congress convened in ex-
