DR.. Peterson's Facts.

DR.. Frederick Peterson, in an ad-
dress before the New York State Con-
ference of Charities and Correction,
made the following stand out in bold
relief:
alcohol is the chief poison factor
In the production Of insanity Six
thousand patients in the State OF
New York alone owe their insanity to
alcohol. Twenty per cent. of all the
insane in the United States, or at
least 10000 individuals, owe their con-
dition to alcoholic poison" DR.. Nc
Donald calculates that one insane per-
son is an approximate loss to the
State of New York, due to insanity, OF
$2,4O0OOO, and to the United States
$12,000,O00 per year.

Loss to One State.

In the State of New York there are
now some 10000 insane in the public
and private hospitals, and it is esti-
mated that twenty per cent. of these,
or 5000 patients, owe their insanity
to alcohol. In all the asylums of the
United States there are 1900 insane,
and assuming the same percentage,
there are 10000 individuals in this
country in whom alcohol has brought
about insanity. DR.. Macdonald calcu-
lates that one insane person is an APP
proximate loss to the State of $500
per year. Hence the actual loss in
money to the State of New York
through alcoholic insanity is $2,4OO,-
900, and to the United States $4,000
900 every year.

LICENCE SYSTEM
CONDEMNED
BY George M. Hammell.

The report of the liquor license de-
partment in Ontario, Canada, con-
dennis, on the face of it, the license
system. For, according to the figures,
the direct product of the tavern, shop,
hotel, or places of retailing intoxicat-
ing liquors, is drunkenness.
Now if. drunkenness is not crime,
it is, to say the least, disease. The
tavern-traffic is source of disease,
according to official statement, and
the provincial government is placed
in the abnormal attitude of collecting
license fees from men who deal in a
disease-producing article - alcoholic
liquors According to this system,
the government Is bound to license
the traffic, but not bound to provide
for its disease-products. Four thou
sand seven hundred and seventy-four
persons are found alcoholied-and
arrested"-that is to say, treated as
criminals Judged from the stand
point of the physician they are proper
subjects for medical treatment.
lIOu1 Tic oIdAupOAhI VI civil
government they are subjects for civil
discipline. The State, however, mere
ly confines in jail for brief period
and imposes fine. No effort is made
to moralize the offender. No effort
is made to cure him of disease. The
State confesses it's failure in dealing
with the ultimate product of the
licensed liquor traffic, as for though
the number of licenses has decreased,
the number of arrests for drunken
ness has increased. The saloon"
plays double-it yields revenue-and
crime, or 1t yields revenue and dis
ease. Either way the State ought to
abate the traffic as nuisance, or con-
cede It's incapacity to deal with the
situation and re-organize on moral
basis.

Yet none of the three members of

CHAPTER XIX.
Unexpected News from Italy

T~ HE great door was swung
4 open. Outlined against the
ys'szsSSs lighted hall behind it was
ez-a-z4sSy Mrs. Conover. She had seen
their approach, and had FASTENED out
into the veranda to meet them.
"Hello!" exclaimed the Railroader.
"This is like old times! Must be
twenty years since you came out to"
"Oh, Caleb" sobbed the little wO-
man, and as the light for the first
time fell athwart her face, they saw
she was red-eyed and blotched of
cheek from much weeping. ooh, Ca

Then come into the library and

Caleb, unless maybe you're aiming
to call in the servants later for adj
vice."
The footman behind Mrs. Conover,
at the door, tried to look as though
he had heard nothing, and bitterly re-
GREETED he had not been allowed to
hear more. But Lefty was silenced
as she always was when the Rail-
roader adopted his present tone. She
obediently scuttled down the hall to-
ward the library an open letter fiut-
tering in her hand Caleb followed;
and, at a word from his father, Ger
aid accompanied his parents.
AS soon as the library door closed
behind the trio Mrs. Conover's grief
again rose from subdued shifting to
unchecked tears.
ooh, talk out, can't you!" growled
Conover. whats up? That letter
there? Is-?"
YES gurgled poor Lefty, torn be-
tween the luxury of weeping and the
fear of offending Caleb, ''it's-it's

"WHATi" roared Conover. Even
Gerald dropped his cigarette.

Conover snatched the letter and
glanced over it. Then with snort
he thrust it back into his wife's hand.

contempt. "Why in hell can't the
girl write her own language SO folks
can understand what she's-?"
"She's always written her letters to
me in French ever since she was at
school in Passy. They told her it"
"Never mind what they told her.

She was married. But she isn't.

But now there was no question of
reclamation. If he should win it
would be by bare margin. He knew
that. And, as for Blanche-well, if he
could keep the worst of the scandal
out of the American papers and make
people think his daughter had come
home merely because her husband
abused her. or because she was tired
of her surroundings-if he could
achieve this much it would be the
best he could expect.
Gerald, too; he had hoped so much
from the boys glittering New York
connections. Now that Illusion was
forever gone. Though his sons more
recent behavior had in slight meas
ure softened the hurt to paternal
pride and hope, yet the hurt itself,
Caleb knew, must always remain.
And that particular pride and hope
were forever dead.
In a quaint twist of thought over
the Biblical story of Job that he had
heard on one of his rare visits TO
church Conover, as he lay staring up
into the dark and listening to the
noisy rage of the storm, fell to fitting
the story to his own case.

O. he ever was guilty-Caleb Conover
turned his thoughts to the morrow's
election, and thus communed with
himself till dawn caught him open
eyed and unsleepy, his splendid
strength and energy in nowise min
ished by forty-eight hours Of AXE
fulness.
1t was a tattered, desolate world
that met the Railroader's eyes as he
gazed down from his window across
the broad grounds and over the city
that lay at their foot. The wind had
fallen, and pink-gray light was fill
ing the clean-swept sky. Nature
seemed ashamed to look on the results
of her own violence, for the dawnlight
crept timidly over the sleeping
houses.
And, with the first glimmers in the
east, the people of city and State were
afoot, for history was to be made.

JOCKEY KEDERIS
Under SUSPENSION
Indefinitely Set Down for Bad
Ride on Lady Panchita, Who
Lost the Third Race

Jockey kederis was indefinitely sus-
pended at Emeryville yesterday on ae-
count of the bad ride he gave Lady
Panchita in the third event. The mare
was a heavily supported favorite and
made miserable showing She caused
some trouble at the post and Kederis
did not get her away flying as she
usually does. Going down the back
stretch the boy kept pulling her up.
although she is front runner.
Binocular won the race easily from
DirectellO, an outsider while Pride OF
LismOre, the pace maker. beat Lady
Panchita a nose for third place. Ke-
deris was called upon by the judges
for an explanation Of his ride. and the
announcement of his enforced retire
ment soon followed.
Two favOrites rewarded their fol-
lowers and there were some upsets.
Captain John opened faVorite for the
feature event, purse affair at six
furlongs, but the money went in on
Kid North and he had the call at
post time. Kid North went out in
front and opened up a gap of two
lengths but began to tire when caught
by Lewiston, which drew away win
ming easily. Captain John, slow to get
going, closed well and took the small
END or the purse. BanOrella, fairly
wen supported. made poor showing
Mollie MOntrOse was a mild favorite
for the first race over the futurity
course and, thanks to clever handling
on the part of Thomas. she won by a
narrow margin from Milpitas David
Warfield, a 20 to 1 chance, closed fast
and was third.
Round and Round drifted back in the
betting for tina second, while Miss OFF,
cious and Steel received the bulk OF the
support. Steel led to the half mile pole
whereafter Round and Round assumed
command. The latter gradually drew
away and won easily from Spring Ban
and McNally. Miss OficiOus ran below
her true form and Jarrett put up a
weird exhibition on the well played
Buckthorn, having him under restraint
most of the way. Z. Moyne. owner OF
Miss OficiOus, bid up Round and Round
from $500 to $6O5, but he was re-.
tanned.
Aftermath was a receding favorite
for the fifth. with Cadfchon a well
supported second choice. They were
both outside the money. Odd Rose won
from Charles Green. with j. c. Glenn
next.

OAKS TAKE GAME IN
CHAMPIONSHIP STYLE
Twirler Harkins Wing Works Wonders
With Woebegone Senators

The baseball battle between the
Commuters and the Senators yester-
day afternoon on the Valencia street
lot bore more resemblance to a clash
Of two champion teams than a setto
between a pair Of twirlers. They fought
each other toe to toe every foot of
the way and neither side yielded an
inch. The honors were always in
favor Of the Oaklanders. but at that
their rivals were right after them till
the last man was declared out. Oak
lands TO victory was a merited
one and the Senators had no "holler''
coming.
Pitcher Harkins never worked bet
ter in all his life than he did yester-
JAY. Up 10 the ninth inning but one
Senator, La Longe, had tapped him
safely. There was a hutter and a
furry in the closing round and during
The mixup two more of the Sacramento
delegation soused the ball through the
inheld for clean singles. These, how
ever, did not count, and the Senators
were shooed away runless. They
never even figured TO come within
whistling distance Of the pan the way
Harkins kept burning 'em over.
Oakland had a tough time at that
and the two runs which were coaxed
'fO- were cunning 10 the trans Day
tossers. The game went along till
the sixth before a man could nego-
tate the rounds of the sacks. Then
little Wares waited for the bad ones
and promptly stole second. Wolver-
ton and Cameron came along with rat
Ting singles, Wares bringing in the
first run on the big first baseman's
drive to right field.
Captain Wolverton had the honor of
registering the final run for his team
in the eighth spasm. He opened it
up with a scorcher, which fairly
burned the grass along the first base
line. Cameron responded with an
other liner and Wolverton gamely
plowed for the plate. He landed Just
a fraction Of second ahead of the
ball but it was good enough for a
tally.
Up to the ninth it looked as though
