To drinking. says Lecky, must be at
tributed most Of the crima and an
immense proportion Of the misery Of
his nation; and what is true Of Eng
land Is true of the United States. AS
the beginning of most violent crime
on q big scale In English history is
parallel with the spread Of strong
drink. SO In our country crimes Of vio-
lence, crimes Of debauchery, political
corruption the waste Of wages, the
ruin OF families, all have their home
and origin IN the saloon Civilization
Will not be a success until the saloon
Is but memory Of what men once
endured West and south in the Unit
ed States to-day the path to temper
ance is being followed with more de-
termination than ever in the history
of our country. In more territory Is
the saloon made Illegal. and in a
greater part Of this territory is public
opinion sufficiently strong TO make
prohibition a success. When It is a
life will be brighter for the
wives and children Of hundreds Of
thousands Of fathers and husbands.

away his wicked doings, he spoke
thus:
dis young man got to thinking

STORY GEMS 10 ANOTHER
Two Sets of Jewels May Be Cause OF
Emma Eames Seeking Divorce.


New York, March 2s.--MutuaI friends
of Nine. Emma Games, the singer, and
her husband, Julian Story, the philadel-
phia painter, tell story today of a
rope Of pearls alleged to have been the
cause Of the first differences between
the pair, which finally led the prima dom
ma to sue for divorce.
Rather, there were two ropes of pearls,
and therein came the mischief. Mime.
Games, so the story goes, was coming
down in the elevator Of the Hotel Aston
with an acquaintance, who was also an
intimate friends Of Mr. Story.
your pearls are very beautiful" re-
marked the friend, looking at the string
she wore and speaking as If he were
familiar with them. You know have
seen them before" he went on.
4 don't think you could possibly have
seen Them Nine. Eames replied.
"0h, yes" Iaughted the man. You
forget that / brought them over for
Mr. Story
sInpossibIe.a exclaimed the singer.
IN bought them myself in Paris"
The mutual friend changed the sub
iect, and Mime. Eames said no more. But
she did some thinking on the theory
that perhaps another set Of pearls simi-
lar to her own had been purchased for
Mr. Story.
1t is positively denied by the singers
lawyers that she intends to marry again
in case she is divorced from Story.
Mr. Story's Philadelphia lawyer de-
elares the public has "heard the last" Of
the case. Referee Frank NJ. Buck of
Mount Vernon will hear the testimony
in secret, and it will be sealed up and
hidden away in the strongest vault, Mr..
Buck thoroughly understands he is to
keep the case quiet, and he said yes
terday that it would neyea be made pubs
lie.
