from the church where Jacobs preached
up to few weeks ago. Her aged mother,
young daughter and a maid comprise the
family, which bears a respected name in
the village.
Called to Read Sermons.
Jacobs said last night that he and his
wife have long been friends of Mrs.
Hustled. and that his wife had visited Mrs.
Hustled several times since they removed
to Poughkeepsie. When the minister was
at Pine Plains he called nearly every
Sunday to read a synopsis Of his sermon
to Mrs. Husted's mother, who was too
feeble to attend church. There was no
more ground than this for village gossip.
In some way the minister got hint that

midnight he saw a man scan the Hustled
house closely and then disappear in the
darkness. Jacobs Is sure this man was

Baptist Church, who was most active In

The searchlight revealed the figure Of the
| dominic at the window.
| Splash! an egg broke against the house
close to the window. Jacobs moved back
out Of sight. Then began a fusillade OF
eggs which gave the house. in daylight
| q notified yellow hue.
| Having exhausted the egg supply. the
| procession began to move toward the

Effect of Excuses.

SIN short, the prevalent whole
sale addiction to the use OF slco-
hoIic stimulants. with its accom-
panying degeneration Of the kid
news. brain. heart, liver, stomach.
and arteries: its perB ;cious infu-
ence in she causatiot OF pneu-
monia and tuberculosis: its direct
action in increasing the mortality
rate in all disease; tbr Parp il
plays in the induction Of insanity,
one-third of all mental affections
being due TO its abuse; and itS
tendency to transmit to offspring
not only epilepsy and mental de-
feet. but marked degeneracy and
criminal propensity-is assuIbing
proportions so appalling that it
may justly be regarded as perhaps
the greatest existing menace to
the stability of American institu-
tons.
The noticeable increase in the
consumption of stimulants. espe-
cialIy among the upper classes, .es-
timated at 10 per cent during the
last decade in the case of men, and
: much larger percentage in that
of women, is inviting anxious at
tention to a means of treating the
victims of alcoholic inebriety, for
which so much has been claimed i'm
this country and abroad.
One billion FIVE hundred million
dollars are spent annually in Ire
United States for intoxica
drinks, and another 81, 10000 Do
for the relief of the restitution, he

that result directly from the drink
