BARNuM WAS RIGHT.

Barnum once said that the Ameri
can people liked to be humbugged
and that idea has been recently il
lustrated by the exposure of a fraud
ulent concern at newport, KY, il
line stock and stud-poker.
This Newport company has beer
advertising, by circulars through the
mails, not publicly in the newspap
ers, to sell fine kentucky whisky
at fifty cents per quart. The stuff
having been analyZed by a competent
chemist, who declared it to be com
posed of alcohol, water and color
ing matter the government issued
a fraud oruer against the concern, de
lying it the right of the mails.
An Illinois purchaser said that this
Newport whisky froze in his room, but
allied to say what damage it had
>ione to those who had guzzled the
poisonous stuff, 1t is said that the
concern did a land office business
taning in some Sov,-~v the past year
and that more than 300 letters are
now held in the Newport office ad
dressed to this concern.
1t would seem that Barnum was
right-people do like to be hum
plugged, especially when purchasing
cheap grades of whisky.
The above from the Jackson, Miss.
Clarion-Ledger not only proves again
that the American people like to be
lumbugged, but brings to mind once
more the mistake so many people
make in sending their money away
-or medicinal and other whiskies
John Bangard, whose address will be
tound in the advertising columns OF
this paper, is a Bay st. Louis boy
and his soods are reliable and he is
ever-ready to serve his friends and
paCrons with the best from his house
at New Orleans.

TAX UPON COFFEE.

Many protests are going up all over
the country against the Republicans
proposition to impose tariff duty of
five cents per pound upon coffee, not
one pound of which is grown in the
United States. This additional tax.
the Republican members of the ways
and means committee insist, is neces-
sary in order to reduce the enormous
deficit, caused by Republican extrav-
agance.
1t will be remembered, says the
Jackson Clarion-Ledger, that when
the tariff on coffee was taken off in
1872 the republicans took great credit
for the act, claiming that they had
given the American people "a free
breakfast table," although this was
hardly true. At that time nobody de-
lie1 that the tariff was tax land so
when free breakfast table was re-
referred to the meaning was that it
was an untaxed breakfast table.
But now, as the Post-Dispatch says,
that crazy extravaganza and wastein
every department of of government
have created a great deficit and more
revenue must be had, coffee is hit
upon to bear the burden. 1t is esti-
mated that a tax of few cents
a pound on imports ofthis commodity
would yield $50,0O0,000 annually, or
an amount equal to about one-half of
the deficit. AS this tax will ap-
pear instantly in the increased price
of coffee, it's imposition will give
the people an object lesson not only
in taxation but in the profligacy
which leads to more and more tax
alton. If all of our national taxation
were for public purposes only-if the
proceeds all went into the treasury
instead of into the pockets of Sc
lected interests-there would be no
deficit even in the present reckless
era. A tax on coffee is bound to
bring some of these truths to light.

MOVING PICTURE POPULARITY

Not only in Bay st. Louis but else
where as well the moving picture anG
Faudevllle theatre has come to stay
and is growing more in favor as time
goes on. The Biloxi Herald of Mon
day contains the following, showing
that at Biloxi, too, the new form of
entertainment and amusement is
growing more in favor. The Herald
says:
That the moving picture and vau-
deYille entertainment is losing none
of its popularity among the people OF
Biloxi and their guests was amply
demonstrated on Saturday night whe
all three of the shows of Biloxi were
crowded not only to their utmost ca.
pacity, but>were compelled to turn
would-be patrons away. At about s
o clock on Saturday night it was i'm.
possible to make ones way into any
Of the Howard avenue shows until a
part of the crowd already within had
come out.
AT the Palace of Pleasure, other
wise known as Dukate's Theater, all
records for attendance were broken
Never since the building was erected
nave there been SO many people in it
The management estimates that
during the evening not less than 200(
people entered the theater. At one
time the stairway on one side and
the landing were banked full of peo
pie waiting for those inside to come
out in order that they might enter.
AT the Vaudette and Pictorium
small but popular theatres. the pro
prietors had all they could do to man
age the crowds, letting the people il
at one door and out, at another. II
all the picture shows, vaudeville per
formances are given and the stand
ard of entertainment has been mucf
elevated since the day nearly two
years ago when the first little pictur,
show was opened at the corner Of
Howard avenue and Lameuse street
showing one picture and an illustrat
ed song for ten cents.

LOVE-.

Love is the only bow on life's dark
cloud. 1t is the morning and evening
star 1t shines on the babe and
sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb
it is the mother of art; inspirer OF
poet. patriot and philosopher 1t is
the air and light of every home;
xinaler of every fire on the hearth; ;
il was the first dress of Immortality.
It fills the world with melody, for the
music is the voice of love. Love is
The magician the enchanter that
changes worthless things to joy and
make right royal queens and kings
Of common clay. 1t is the perfume o.
chat wonderful flower, the heart, and
without that sacred passion, that di-
vine swoon, we are less than beasts
but with it-earth is heaven and we
are gods.-Robt. G. Ingerson.

SCHEME At LAST STOPPED

Washington, Dec. 4-Postoffice in
spectors. after a year of work. have
succeeded in suppressing one of the
cleverest attempts ever devised to
mulct the public through the medium
OF the mails. The native charity of the
average American was the stock in
trade OF the swindlers, who apparent
ly started out with the purpose Of cap
italizing affliction.
Out in a central western state there
is a little armless girl who has proved
herself to be worth net profit Of from
$S5 to $3.50 a day through the sale of a
little life, which is illustrated with
pathetic pictures of her engaged in
performing the usual manual offices
with her feet. The fac-simile of q let
ter which the little girl had written
with her toes accompanied the book
let, as did a card for mailing coin.
The recipient was asked to send
quarter to help defray the expenses Of
providing the little cripple with
home and engaging some nice mother
ly Hoosier to care for her.
Staff OF Eleven Assistants.
The appeal proved such a success
that when the inspectors finally re-
ported on the conditions. they had dis
covered the little cripple's staff of as
sistants numbered eleven and the bus
mess was combining in an average
daily profit of 500. The child is now
we'll established and the acute person
who had the foresight to advance the
money necessary for the initial publ
cation of her book on the basis of so
per cent. to him on the business de-
veloped is comfortably well off.
| The chief difficulty confronting the
inspectors was the method to pursue
in stopping the graft. The little girls

was done and the cripple and her man
ager retired. No fraud order was is

Chicago. Sept. 1.-THE story Of a
woman's sacrifice of her pride and
honor that her husband might have
grounds for divorce proceedings was
told yesterday by Mrs. Catherine
Glow. wife Of ID. e. Glow, a contractor
living in Wilmette. after her arrest in
company with friend at North
Clark street hotel.
Sobbing like a child in the realiza-
ton of the price she had paid for
freedom from her husband. the woman
prepared to try to retrieve her honor
and sustain the standing of her home
for the sake of two sons just old
enough to realize the position of their
mother. which she declares is false
one.
Mrs. Glow was arrested early yester-
day morning in a hotel at liz North
Clark street in company with A. r.
Triplett, young musician, just out of
his teens and a friend of her son, Myn-
dret Glow. Warrants charging each
with a serious offense were sworn by
the husband and the two were taken
to the county jail to await hearing.

der the advice of my attorney and with

talked it over with my son Myndret,
but we could not find any excuse for
taking action. I consulted a lawyer
and he said that the only way that /
could expect an immediate divorce was
to do something that would arouse the
anger of my husband.
"He said that If / would allow myself
to be caught in a hotel with another
man my husband would he furious and
have ample reason for asking d.
vorce. / shuddered when / thought of
