Alcohol 40 . Cause Of Crime. In
sanity and Pauperism.,

Summing up In his article on "Alco-
hol and the Individual" in the Christ
mas McClure's, DR.. Henry Smith vii.
liams says: "It will be observed that
these estimates, ascribing from one
third to one-half of the recognized
poverty of the Fatherland to the
effects of alcohol, are singularly in
harmony with the estimates made for
England by British Investigators and
with the careful statistics compiled
for America by the Committee of
Fifty. Such correspondence cannot
we'll be accidental. They give secure
warrant for the belief that at least
one-third of all the recognized pau
perism In the most highly civilized
communities of Christendom results
from bodily or mental inefficiency due
to alcoholic indulgence. A similar
correspondence of testimony shows,
as we have seen, that the same cause
is responsible for the mental over
throw of fully one-fourth of all the
unfortunates who are sent to asylums
for the insane for the misfortunes of
two.dfths of neglected or abandoned
children; and for the moral delin-
quencies of at least half of the con-
victs In our prisons and of not less
than four-ifths of the inmates of our
jails and warehouses;"

LISTEN TO MASTERS VOICE.
Local Democrats Hear a Bryan Talk
by Graphophone.

The voice of the democratic candidate
for the presidency spoke again TO his fol-
lowers through the medium of the talking
machine last night at the headquarters
of the local democratic organization in
the Munsey building. The Bryan records
were heard with rapt attention. and those
sentiments which Bryan is quoted as pro-
nouncing convincing" were sounded
through the hall through large horn.
Besides the Photographic address there
were remarks by others who sought to
enlist support for Candidate Bryan. Plac-
ards and signs were posted on the walls
calling the local democrats to rally to
the support of Bryan and Kern. Many
flags and much bunting gave the club
rooms the appearance OF business.
Great interest was shown Edward I.
Benton. former supporter oi the re-
publican ticket in stump speeches. Mr.
Benton has changed his views and las
night scored the republicans. He raped
the present administra ton, and also criti
cised the republicans and their stand on
the tariff question.
Mr.. Benton said in part:
This seems to be an administration of
golf clubs. Ananias clubs and the big
stick. The big stick has been welded
with telling effect. 1t has been very
nearly omnipotent in politics. especially
in the republican party

of the common people but you have u

Court before Judge Mullowny this morn

department with conducting an insani-
tary establishment. He was adjudged
guilty and fined $40

he kept chickens. ducks, etc In addition,
it was stated. a number of unclean cook
ing utensils were discovered. and the
place was found to be generally in an

partment recently relative to the insani-

partment have been visiting Chinese res
taurantS the past week. The inspection
in the present instance took place the
