New York. March 1S.--Methods of
reducing the amount of drunkenness
in the United States were discussed
last night and today at the meeting
OF the American Association for the
study and Cure of Inebriety and Al
coh0lism.
Henry q. Marcy, NJ. D., LII. d, of
Boston, Mass, eX-president of the
American Medical Association deliv-
cred an address on The Temperance
Movement in the South from Scien-
tlfc Point If View. He asserted that
the rapid change Of public sentiment
favorable 10 most radical measures
for the suppression and control Of the
sale of alcohol as beverage was a
deep feeling of alarm and recogni-
ton of the influence of alcohol in IN
tensifying and increasing the social
pcrils Of home life and good govern
ment
Medical and hygenic study based n
statistics and mortality tables indi-
cate that alcohol as beverage Is
most active cause of degeneration
and disease among the colorrd ana
illiteratc class of the south.
The unrestralned use of alcohol is
literally anarchy in which life and
property are i'm constant peril All
the leaders recognize that the alco-
holic problem has sanitary side of
the most absorbing interest, and this
must Oc recognized and become a
part of the practical life of every
community.
Or. c. A. Rosewasser, OF Newark,
y. j. chairman of the Dependency
and Crime Commission Of the state
of New Jersey, in a paper on The
Rational Treatment of the lnebriate,
said that no other disease is more
durable If treated In the early stages,
Many Of our present methods, par
tlcuarly Of courts and jails, are prac-
ucally training schools wncrc armies
o. paupers and criminals are grown
and cultivated
II il were not for the increased
mortality our civilization would be
overwhelmed with degcncrates and de
fcctivcs. This increase varies from 80
to so per cent over the normal. Thus
every year Of drinking brings greater
liability to death for the inebriate.
Or Howard \. Kelly, of Baltimore
Md. professor of diseases of women
in the John Hopkins University, de-
csared that The Alcoholic Problem in
Every Day Life is becoming more and
more apparent in the diseases. degcn-
crations and injuries which are trace

clared that from an experience CT
over nifty years with the care and
treatment of 10000 patients at the
Washlontonian Home, it had been
proven conclusively that medical care

was the only answer 10 the question.
Statistics showed that from IS g

Los Angeles, Calf, March IS.-
Statements attributed to L. II. Harri-
man at Pasadena last night regard
irg the present state of his health

There is no hint, however. of any

been better in years and that the

PRESIDENT TAFT
MAKES STRONG ADDRESS
says That Cleveland Was as Com
pletely American as Lincoln
and Had Courage of
His C0nvic-
tlonS.

New York, March lS.-The life of
the late Grover Cleveland and its in
fuence upon our national progress
and material welfare were the
themes of speeches by President Taft,
Chief Justice Fuller OF the supreme
court of the United states, and other
well known men AZ ths memorial ex-
ercise in honor of the late president
at Carnegie hall this afternoon. To-
night exercises will be held at the city
college at which Governor Hughes,
senator Elihu RoC aud others Will
speak.
President Taft was the principal
speaker at the exercises this after
noon and he paid a high tribute to
the late president.
The president said shat Cleveland
was as completely American in char
acter as Lincoln. Hts chief charac-
teristics were simplicity and honesty
courage of his convictions with a
sense of public duty "unexceeded by
no statesman within my knowledge"
He characterized his career as re-
markablc His reputation as an op-
ponent of corruption, both in his own
party and the party OF opposition,
while he was mayor of his home city
spread throughout New York. made
his standing before the community
IAN asset Of the Democratic party,
that even those wh5t ~d little sym
pathy with his principles we're glad
to seize upon him as "A means OF get
ting into power Before he had ceas-
IL l.. hoo
elected governor ana before he had
ceased as governor he had been elect
ed president of the United states.
THE presidential campaign of 1854
degenerated into one of slander, scan
dal and abuse but Mr.. Cleveland
came through it retaining the conf
dence of the American people, his
courage and honesty and his single
purpose for better public service"
The president related the story Of
the victory in the national conven-
ton for the third nomination over
the leaders Of most of the state or
ganizations through the confidence Of
the rank and file Of his party, that
the campaign stood for reduction of
the tariff, against the protective the
ory.
He was positive, he was atiirma-
tive, he was courageous" continued
the speaker. He did not believe in
trimming down policy to catch the
votes of those who really did not
agree with it."
President Taft referred TO the talk
of usurpation of legislation by the eX-
ecutive branch of the government,
saying;
"As long as the Legislative branch
has no power OF the purse the dan
ger of executive usurpatiOn is i'm
agination."

GOTCH AND ROLLER
SIGN
CHICAGOANS LIKE ROLLER AND
THINK HE WILL GIVE GOTCH
A WORKOUT ON 9TH OF THIS
MONTH.

Chicago, April 19.-Dr. B. F. Rol-
Ter, of Seattle, last night won in
straight falls from "The Mysterious
Conductor" in the opening match of
the Gotch-Lundin handicap here last
night Both were clean, quick falls.
and the Seattle physician won the
hearts of Chicagoans at once.
Gotch threw Hjalmar Lundin, the
ex-Swedish champion, in 9 minutes
and 35 seconds. He had agreed to
throw him once in 20 minutes. He
used a reverse nelson to do the
trick. Lundin was very strong, but
lacked science, and Gotch secured
his holds at will.
Immediately after the match, DR..
Roller and Gotch signed for a finish
match, which will come off in Kan
sas City April 27. Betting here, of
course, favors Gotch, but Roller is
looked upon as a conner, and it is
thought will give him hard tussle.
The big doctor seems to be in per-
feet condition.

was this ore that it was necessary
to store it in the vaults of a bank
for safety.
A similar experience was that of
the Mohawk Reilly lease; but here a
dishonest miner was responsible for
the loss of the original owners. He
drifted into the vein and then COW
cred it up, declaring that there was
nothing there. Like almost all dis
honest men, he was stupid enough
in the end to let some one else take
his profits, as he sold his informa-
ton for a pittance. From this mine
$1,O0O,000 was taken in IL weeks.
For IL months there was between
100000 and 100000 taken out
of Nevada mines every days. Three
years after Tonopah was discovered,
the state had already put out $780,
100000 in gold. Five millions of
this came from Tonopah the first
year. No wonder men went mad at
the doorway of this treasure house!
The territory's riches are but
scratched yet, according to the best
mining talent. Not scratched! And
already the famous Colorado strikes
are put in the shadow.

also has beautiful home at Kittery,
while little farther up the coast,
at York HarbOr, is the summer home
of Thomas Nelson Page. This beau
tiful place is situated on high point
overlooking the sea, and to York
Harbor, too, comes John Fox every
summer to be the guest of Mr.. Page.
At Kennebunkport one sees the beau

are many islands in Portland harbor.

mers at Balleys Island, is, of course,

though Kate Douglas Wiggin has not
a home on the Maine coast, yet shee,
too, prefers the Maine atmosphere,
and her home at Hollis is we'll
known. Harriet Beecher Stowe Sc
lected Orrs Island as a spot rich in
material, while Whittier, in his Dead
Ship Of Harpswell," long ago recog-
nized the romance and poetry to be
CLEANED from the rugged shores OF
the New England state.

more than 1000 ounces of silver and
heavy proportion of gold. The
Klondike assayer, hearing of this as
say, hunted up the discarded sam
Piles and found they ran 100 ounces
of gold and were equally rich in sill
yer.
The news did not get out until
November, and then the rush came.
The original owners, Butler and two
assayers, Brougher and Oddie, let
out leases along the lodges. A total
of 12O leases was made by Butler,
all without scrap of writing,
though there were as many as 80
partners to a single lease.
Speedily Made Millions.
This property sold to Philadelphia
capitalists for $336,000, speedily
paid the leasers between 100000
and 100000. Tonopah was only
the beginning of the newer and big
ger Nevada. Not long after the fe-
verish thousands of fortune hunters
landed in this favored spot, strikes
were reported from other places.
One gratifying change from the
old days, however, was noticeable.
Gun play, promiscuous shooting. was
frowned upon. Fights there were.
of course, and crooked dealing OF
cards, undoubtedly; but for some
time it was Tonopah's proud boast
that the only man killed was a bad
man who had drifted in to renew the
old-time pleasures of gun handling.
Very soon Golifield came to the
center of this marvellous porphyritic
belt of prosperity, extending 400
miles In area, from Comstock to
Searchnght and east and west for 60
to 100 miles.
Not all the strikes are worth
while. Again, not all the money that
goes into the ground brings money
ont. Sometimes fortune plays mean
FRANKS on the poor hunters. One OF
the most heartbreaking instances OF
this fact was the experience OF the
lessees of the Hayes-Monette prop
erty on the Mohawk.
They spent 100000 drifting
round and round the compass-ln
all directions except one. They got
nothing. Then Hayes and Monette
took the lease. There was nothing
for them to do save follow the Tor
lorn hope of that one unexploreo
direction.
There it was! They found an ore
gray-black in appearance, of sucn
tremendously rich proportions tna'
the gold was actually plastered over
the quartz one-eighth to one-fourtn
of an inch in thickness. SO rlcn
