THE DRINK PROBLEM.
The surest Cure OF the Evil Is In FIX
tinetion Of Drink Traffic.

At a recent public meeting under
ance Legislation board. at Glasgow
The solicitor general for Scotland. Mr.
Alexander IRE, NJ c.. NJ. r.. the prin-
cipal speaker said II Il were practic-
able he would hold that the best cure
for the drink problem would be the
extinction OF the drink traffic alto
gether. but he wat a practical poll
tician. lie regarded the problem not
as vice TO be eXtlneuished. not as a
crime 10 be suppressed. but as a ques-
ton OF the habits and the customs OF
the people. Now they were powerless
10 effect a change In the habits OF a
nation unless they had at their back
the vast overwhelming mass OF public
opinion. In his opinion Il would be
impossible to command at the present
moment an adequate force and volume
of public opinion 10 absolutely prohibit
the drink trafic In all parts OF Scot
land. and II was now universally
agreed that N prohibition was to be-
carried at all II must be by very sub
stantlal majority. and the minimum
that had been suggested even by ex-
treme temperance reformers was q
two.thlrds majority OF the electors vot-
Ing. or a clear majority OF the electors
on the roll Now, In favor OF absolute
prohibition they would no doubt be
able 10 count upon a generous esti-
mate ten per cent OF the electors To
give their steady support. but In order
20 carry absolute prohibition they

Different Times.

These are great days for wage
earners and their savings. The New
York Herald OF January tells of A..
900 prosperous ones crowding the
doors and corridors OF the German
Savings bank in order 10 get their
money in during the heightened
hours which the book grants to de-
positors one night in each year. so
that savings put In prior to January
10 shall draw interest from January
1. The crush of eager money savers
was something extraordinary. We do
not believe there was any such crush
on the nights OF January Z, 1895 or
1896. In those tariff revision times
money was scarce for deposit by
wage earners in savings banks. Saw
ings we're needed to keep he wolf

not taken In. That is. they were
taken out when the depositors could
get them out. The 60day notice rule
was very generally enforced. Ger.
tainly the times are very different
now.

A COSTLY DRINK.
How an Inheritance Slipped Through
the Fingers Of an lnebrlate.

Evidence was presented recently In
the probate court OF nes MONIES, Ia.
OF an act which changes the owner
ship OF an estate. A wealthy citizen
OF Des Molnes made a win boquoath-
FMS one OF his farms. said TO be worth
about $4,000. and a legacy OF $4,000 IN
cash 10 a citizen OF Bethlehem. y Y.
who married relative Of the t,stator.
The one condition attached 10 the be
quest was that the beneficiary should
become a sober man and should con
tinue sober for a specified time. The
time was approaching for a settlement
OF the estate says the Christian Her
aid and the executors were preparing
10 install the legates and pay over the
legacy when news reached them that
he had INDUCED In a pnotracted drunk
An investigation was made and the
news was confirmed They according
" laid before the surrogate the eyi-
dcnce OF forfeiture and the bequest
was declared cancelled. How the
man must reproach himself for the
weakness and evil propensity which
have entailed upon him 80 heavy a

TO prove a lesson 90 him. and lead him

 British theaters are supplied with trained horses, COWS, sheep, dogs, and other animals by MT. Hales, who practically has monopoly of the business.
 He has whole herds of COWS and ponies and hocks of sheep trained for the stage He keeps them on two large farms until they have an engagement in town, when they stay in stables near Covent Garden.
 A fat sheep known as Billy may be described as the Nestor of the animal actors, having had the wid- est experience in things Thespian His latest appearance was in "Cheer, Boys, Cheer"
 The production of "The Flood at the Hippodrome called for a large COW chorus, so to speak. Just why the particular bossy that led the herd should have been called Joey is not quite clear, but that is her name. Joey has appeared at several theaters and is very much in demand for heavy COW parts, says the London Illustrated News. Bob and Motza also appeared in ''The Flood" They are rather yer satile canines, being expert also in the use of mimic fire escapes. Cows seem especially in demand at present, at last in London. Three are to appear in "The Bondman' at Drury Lane, one to be milked by the leading lady.

GENERAL LEE AND ARLINGTON, HIS OLD HOME

General Lees first thought was for the comfort of his men. He remarked to General Grant that they had been liv- ing for the last few days principally upon parched corn and were badly in need of ratons. When Grant immedi- ately suggested the sending of 25,000 rations to the surrendered soldiers. Lees countenance showed that he felt greatly relieved.
 General Lee possessed the stoic de votion to duty of Spartan mother. be laid against him. He had three sons in the army, two of them generals and the other captain. At one time President Jefferson Davis thought Of sending General Lee to command the western army. The leaders son, Gen. eral Custis Lee, was then on the per sonal staff of President Davis. The latter held young Lee in such high re, gard as soldier that he decided to appoint him to succeed his father in command of the Army of Northern Nir- ginia. He instructed another officer to visit General Robert E. Lee and ask him to assign General Custis Lee to ] that command The old chieftain re- piled: '->- ~"'-.
 "I am very much obliged to Mir. Da- wis for his high opinion of Custis Lee, but he is an untried man in the field, and cannot appoint him to that com mand. I cannot pass by my tried offl- cers and take for that position com paratively new man. especially when that man is my own son. Mir Davis can make the assignment if he thinks proper. certainly shall not do so.
 A Federal general was confined ln
 Libby prison. At the same time Gen. eral w. H. F. Lee. another son of the
 commander. was q prisoner Of war at Fortress Monroe. having been captured
 by the Federals while lying at his
 home severely wounded. The Federal
 general conceived the idea of having himself exchanged for the young Con federate. but General Lee declined to
 ask any favor for his own son that he
 could not ask for the humblest soldier
 in his army.
 During the battle of Gettysburg Gen
 eral Lee turned aside a moment from
 pressing duties to rebuke an officer
 who was beating an unruly horse. On
 a train near Richmond private Con-
 federate soldier with wounded arm

 teeth to aid his one good arm. An of- l feer stepped forward from the other l end of the ear and helped the wounded

entire career. It shaped his career. On one side of the Potomac was the capital of the United States. On the other side was the home of Lee. There also lay Virginia. Lee might have led the Federal armies against the south, but he elected to stay with Virginia because in his view that was the hon. orablc course.
 At this late day it is useless to dis ctss Lee as d general. All the world knows how he withStood the legions of the north and how nObly he acquit- ted himself as q commander. Leaving aside all consideration of war issues. it is appropriate, in view of the Lee centennial, to consider him briefly as q man. After all, it is the man that men remember and revere rather than the i military commander. Measured by this gauge, Napoleon. Frederick the Great and other famous generals fall so far below Lee that it is an insult to his memory for them to be mentioned in any spirit of patronizng compari- son with him.

to the arstocracy of Virginia. Some time after he became president of the college the board of trustees desired to raise his salary, the efforts of Lee hav- ing largely increased the efficiency of the instruction and the attendance of students. Lee firmly declined the in crease, saying:
 My salary is as large as the college ought to pay"
