THREW EGGS AT
PASTORS HOUSE
Boys Of Cambridge Oppose
Pastor COurSey'S Advocacy
Of Blue Laws
STATES ATTORNEY
AFTER MISCREANTS

CAMBRIDGE, Nd, July 2i-After . an
unsuccessful attempt TO lure the Rev.
Ralph r. Coursey from home, the parson-
age Of tho Second Methodist Church was
bombardcd about 10 o'clock Monday night
with several broadsdes OF eggs. At day
break the house was sight. and It may
take a coat OF paint to obliterate the
traces OF the damage. The outbreak is
due to AIR Coursey's prominence in tho
movement to have the blue laws enforced.
No arrests have yet been made.
Mr.. Coursey received a telephone mes
sage about o'clock asking him TO come
over TO East Cambridge to ofnciate az a
wedding lie had heard rumors OF probable
attempts az assault and remained at home.
which perhaps saved him from getting the
bombardment himself. or even worse
treatment. The bridge over Cambridge
Greek TO East Cambridge is poorly lighted,
and offers an opportunity for an attack
About an hour after the telephone mes
sage, when tho family was about 10 re-
tire. the unknown visitors and the eggs
appeared.
The agitation for the enforcement OF
tho blue laws has been going on for some
days, and Sunday the lid was down tight.
Cigar and soda counters were closed, and
the drug stores would soil nothing except
ON prescription. Hotels and restaurants
had been notified Ia advance.
Mr.. Coursey. with other ministers. had
been leader in the closing movement.
and Sunday morning delivered a sermon
on the subject. when he gave considerable
emphasis 10 his views
In the course Of his sermon last Sunday
he referred to the Sunday laws and stated
that the officers Of the law were not do
ing their duty I'm that they were not en-
forcing the laws. He stated that laws
were made 10 be kept, that laws were
intended to b6 enforced. else they should
not be upon the books.
The egg homhardment was not due TO his
letter TO Governor Crothers nor directly
to his sermon It was due to the fact that
a certain element Of the town resented tn,
enforcement OF the Sunday laws and at.
trhuted the cnuse 10 Mr.. Courscy. For THU
reason he was marked for the attack Th,
eggs we're thrown by three young men, &

Professor Duke II. Bashford, one
OF the most noted chemists OF the
world, is an inmate Of the Kane coun-
ty .poorhouse at Batavia, Ill.
Why? Whisky.
Bashford was at one time professor
OF applied chemistry in the London
Polytechnic college and was consulted
by chemists the world over. In the
last twenty years he crossed the ocean
thirty-one times at the call Of Ameri-
can manufacturers. His fees we're big,
and he made and lost several fortunes
Today he is a physical and moral
wreck.
His wife was the well known actress
Hattie Edwards. She could not endure
his dissipated ways and got divorce.
His two children are dead. one by
violence and one-the daughter-by
suicide because Of the family troubles.
Surely this man must have suffered
much III luck.
On the contrary, he was especially
fortunate. Fame came easily and for
tunes cornucopia emptied itself at
his feet.
He went the full length OF the to-
boggan slide on
Whisl1yl
His proclivity 70 drink lost him wife
and family and fame and laboratory.
Worse than that
Endowed with rare genius, he pros.
tituted ais talents. For money-and
whisky-he turned his ability against
the interests of humanity
For money-and whisky-he gave
himself up to formulas FOR adulterat
ing food aud drugs and beverages. In
the remorse OF his old age and penury
Bashford says:
81 have caused millions TO suffel
from the adulteratlons have concoct
ed and have caused thousands to die
/ premature deaths"
Shamefully he says II he ever get
on his feet again he will expose man.

The old man is over the fence ant

FRENCHMEN LEAD ALL NATIONS IN
 ABSORBING ALCOHOL
Special from United Press.)

NSpGC1dl tfofu OfllLed HreSS.)
 Paris, Oct. 12-The Frenehman has the ualm when it comes to the con sumption of wine and spirituous drinks, according to figures just made public by the municipal statistical de- pertinent. His increasing consump- tion is declared to be responsible for the wine crisis now prevailing in France. Less than fifty years ago Brenchmen consumed per capita. an- nually less than 3 1-2 pints of alcohol. Today the average adult Frenchman drinks 70 pints of spirits at 100 degrees of strength-almost equivalent to 16O pints of brandy-a year.
 Thirty years ago France had a wine shop or cafe for every 10S inhabitants. Today there is one for every 40. The liquor selling establishments in Paris number 4,000. while London, whose population is more than double. has only 5000. Dr. Bertillon.. head of the municipal statistical department, says there are 800 distilleries in France. In some parts of the country the peo- pie take alcohol as others drink water, consuming an average of two pints daily. An alarming feature of the sta tistics is the increase shown in absin- the drinking and the fact that children are becoming familiar with the poison
 Of a class of 49 pupils, 30 acknow- ledged that they had tasted absinthe and in class of 63 children betwen the ages of six and nine, "A admitted that they drank brandy every day. Wherever the drinking of spirits has increased the consumption of wine is decreasing.
