INFANT GRASPS A
LIVE WIRE and
Is KILLED

GOLDFIELD, New, May c6.---With
convulsive trembling of the muscles.
the life of the two-year-old child Of
Mr.. and Mrs. P. F. Bragg was cut short
oy shock of many thousand volts Of
electricity from a live wire in the
transformer room Of the American mill
Friday afternoon.
There is very little to the story Of
how it hapnened, but the extreme
pathos of the sudden death Of the
two-year old boy, and the picture Of
the sorrow stricken family will appeal
to all. The child had accompanied 1
friend of the father to the transformer
room, or had followed him unex-
pectedly, while the friend was making
repairs to some part Of the wiring.
Without knowing the deadly power Of
the wirss, the child wandered around.
the friend with whom he had come to
the room being too engrossed in his
work to watch what the child was
doing.
Suddenly the tot uttered a low
moan, and turning quickly, the frienu
saw him clutching one Of the low
wires which crossed and recrossed in
seeming confusion short distance
above the floor, too low for a man to
grasp, but low enough for q child to
hold az he walked beside them. The
man jumped to the rescue, but even
as he did the little body stiffened with
the tremendous current passing through
it and then sank lifeless to the floor
from which it was picked up and car
ried to his parents homo.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bragg, the father and
mother of the child, live in . house
adjacent to the American mill. The
mill is not running at present, but the
transformer room is open for repairs
and the current was turned on.

buck of stealing money from her, and
he swatted her. No sooner had he
done so than T. H. Hoppin, who was

another white man soaked him in the

regained his feet and he made lively

ANTI.DRNK sILL PosrERs.
How the Practice Has Grown in Euro
pean Countries.

During the past two or three years
the movement to placard the bill
boards Of cities with warnings against
the use OF alcoholic drinks has spread
rapidly. The movement first attract
ed serious attention few years ago
when the bilIboards OF Paris we're
decorated with warnings Of this char
acter. The wine men few to the res
cue and set UP doctors to protest.
Public debates and discussions fol-
lowed, in which the wine men got
the worst of the talking matches.
Then the policy spread to German
cities and even Madrid was decorated
with these billboards, Copenhagen
followed and then the movement
reached England, where it spread
more rapidly than anywhere else.
In England the bills were posted
chiefly by the health officers Of the
cities themselves. The liquor dealers
attempted to prevent the use of pub
lie moneys for this purpose by court
proceedings, but were defeated In test
cases.
So rapidly has this movement
spread in England Scotland and Ire
land that go cities and towns Of Great
Britain have adopted the policy of
annointing the billboards with official
proclamations denouncing the use of
alcoholic liquors.
Many of these proclamations are of
the most radical character and are
chiefly based on the recent parliament
tary report Of physical deterioration
caused by liquor.

A PATHETIC SCENE.
Wife Visits Saloon Where Her Hus-
band Was carousing.

Il am not Mrs. Nation; I have no
hatchet; | am not crazy"
These words came from the lips Of
Lewis woman as she met her hus-
band face to face in a hotel barroom
the other evening, says the Lewis
Pilot. They were directed to the bar
tender and loungers, as the former
handed the woman's husband a glass
Of whisky.
She continued: THAT man has not
done a days work this winter, and I
am worn out trying to support him
and the rest of the family. ! wnnt to
know If something cannot be done to
keep him from destroying his own life
and starving his family?"
The woman was thin and pale. Her
lips quivered as she spoke. Her frail
body could hardly stand the strain of
the unfamiliar environment. As she
finished the little girl by her side
burst into tears, the bartender took
back the whisky, the abashed husband
stood with bowed head, one by one
the loungers left the room. Presently
the bartender, gazing at the poor wom-
an, solemenly vowed that the man
should not drink at his bar again.
1t was pathetic scene; it was the
last resort Of desperate woman. AS
she left the hotel with her husband
and the little girl there was a lesson
too painful for any pen to picture

NEAL DOW AND HIS SON.
Incident That Shows the Latter Fol-
lowed in His Fathers steps

Col Fred N. Dow tells the follow
ing story which illustrates how the
son Of a father devoted to a great
principle is likely to follow in his
fathers steps:
Col Dow once visited friends at
Quebec, and, while seeing the sights
of the city and its surroundings, he
took a public carriage to visit the
Falls Of Montmorency At halfway
house on the road the driver pulled
up his horse and remarked. ''The
carriage always stops here.
For what purpose?" asked the
colonel
For the passengers to treat" was
the reply.
but none Of us drink, and we don't
intend TO treat"
The driver had dismounted and was
waiting by the roadside. Drawing
himself mp to his full height, he said,
impressively: 4 have driven this
carriage for 80 years. and this hap
pened but once before. Some time
ago had fora fare crank from
Portland, Me, by the, name OF Neal
Dow, who said he wouldn't drink; and,
what is more to the point, he said
he wouldn't pay for anybody else to
drink"
The son found himself occupying
the same ground as that on which
his father had Selected.
