GROWTH OF Drink
HABIT IN FRANCE
LEGISLATORS WILL TAKE STEPS
TO STAMP OUT WIDE SPREAD
OF ALCOHOLISM.
ALLEGED CAUSE OF
INCREASED LUNACY
Premier clemenceau Will Order
Mayors of the 10000 communes to
Enforce Law More strictIy-sa-
looms May Be Limited.

Paris, Feb. 22.-The rapidly increas
ing consumption of alcohol in France
is attracting the serious attention O
statesmen, who, following the exampl,
of Belgian and Swiss legislators, are
devotins earnest efforts to restrict ths
spread of the evil. In both chamber.
important groups have been formed
whose members are endeavoring to Sc
cure the enforcement of existing en-
actments and the promotion of fresh
legislation with the view of limiting
the number of saloons, of strengthen
ing the hands of the authorities so as
to improve their supervision and
eventually to forbid the sale of alb
sinthe as being the most deleterious OF
alcoholic liquors.
Causes Increase in Lunacy.
1t is argued that the enormous in
crease in the percentage of lunatics
among the population of recent years
is, for the most part, due to drink, and
that the habit is, besides, having a
general deteriorating effect on the ma
ton.
The senators taking part in the agi.
tation are headed by M. Charles Du-
puy and the deputies by NJ Ribot, and
these two distinguished statesmen
have obtained an assurance from M.
Clemenceau that the cabinet will
strongly support the movement.
Order Mayors to Act.
In the course of an interview with
the premier deputation of the two
groups secured promise that a cir
cular would be addressed to the may
ors of the 10000 communes instruct.
ing them to enforce more strictly the
law of January. 1878, which has virtu.
ally fallen into allegiance and which
deals with the punishment of drunk.
enness. An offender is thereby mulcted
in graduated penalties.
The deputation pointed out to NJ
Clemenceau that a later enactment,
passed in 1880, although it did not re-
peal the act of 1878, was. probably the
principal cause of the alarming devel-
opment of the drinking habit This
act permitted the indiscriminate open
ing of saloons, the only restriction re-
lating to hours of business.
May Limit Saloons.
1t contains salutary proviso Civ
ing the mayors power to limit the
number of saloons in the vicinity of
schools and educational institutions,
SO as not to place temptation in the
way of young people. This clause,
which has fallen into desuetude ex-
cept in a very few instances, is in flu
ture to be strictly applied.
The premier promises to procure
statistics from all the madhouses of
France of the number of inmates
whose lunacy is directly or indirectly
due to alcoholism and more particu-
larly to the absorption of absinthe.
These figures, which are likely to be
formidable, are to be utilized in the
course of the debates on the new
bills.

Earth and a Comet 10 Clash

London, Feb. 25.-The Daily Mail
publishes Rome dispatch which re-
ports Prof. Matteucci of the Vesuvius
observatory as declaring that toward
the end of March the substance of the
new comet, discovered by Marchette,
will come in contact with the earth's
atmosphere with consequences prob
ably dangerous to the world. The pro,
fessor is of the opinion that the dan
ger will be brief, but it may be acute.
If the earth comes into collision with
the comets tail the earth's atmos-
phere may possibly cause ignition and
life would be destroyed.

West Point, Ga, Feb. 25.-On last
Wednesday a man about 60 years old,
accompanied by young woman,
registered at local hotel under the
nome of w. Harper and wife of Bos-
ton. The couple remained here in
their rooms until Friday, when they
left for Opelika, Ala. The same train
on which the couple left brought a
photograph and circular from a detec-
tive agency giving the description of
William F. Walker of New Britain,
Conn, and offering $4,000 for his ar
rest. The photograph was recognized
by the hotel proprietor, he thought, as
that of his late guest. He followed
the couple to Opelika, where he found
the man and had him placed under ar
rest.
The woman admitted that she was
not the wife of Harper" and stated
that she was from New Britain. Be.
yond this she would say nothing. The
man is held for instructions from New
Britain.
