INTERESTING NEWS, VIEWS AND
GOSSIP FROM NEW YORK CITY

New York, April Forty.rod
whisky is a mid and innocent pew
erage compared with the white
brandy" or weiss schnapps" dis.
pensed at the low groggeries of New
York's East Side. according TO Com.
missioner Dederle of the department
of health. who has inaugurated n
campaign against the rank poison
which has caused an alarming num-
Der of fatalities among the poor peo-
pie OF the city. The vile liquor.
which has wood alcohol as its prin.
cipal ingredience, is sold at a dollar
a gallon by the liquor dealers who
are willing to profit from a traffic
in murder and sudden death.
Several cases of practically total
blindness caused by drinking wood
alcohol sold in liquor stores on the
lower East Side. having been report
ed to the health department" said
Mr.. Lederle. Il have, as result
OF careful investigation. caused cases
to be prepared against three liquor
dealers, and warrants have been Is.
sued for their arrests.
1T is well known that the effects
on the human system from drinking
wool alcohol are in the highest de-
gree poisonous. Either death or
total blindness usually results from
the Introduction of wood alcohol in
sufficient quantities into the system.
"The progress of the Investigation
discoses that practically every sa-
Icon on the East Side sells the drink
known as weiss schnapps,' and that
there are many pedd.ere doing the
same thing. These peddlers osten'
sibly sell lunches to the inmates of
sweatshops and cloak factories, but,
as a matter of fact, the supposed
lunches are bottles of whisky cover
ed with paper bags. a large num-
ber of samples collected by the in
spectors of the department and by
representatives of the district attor'
ney's Office were analyzed. and in
three cases wood alcohol was found
to be present.
THE vision in these cases Is gone
forever, on account of atrophy OF

THE CENTER OF. THE EARTH
How the zunl Indians Have Marked
the Supposed Spot by
Crude Shrine.

In the Zuni cosmogony, the earth
is conceived of as nat, and shaped
like pancake. Being a chosen peo-
pie Of the gods they were commanded
early in their tribual career to 60 to
the exact center of the world, and
there build their homes; and one of
the most interesting legends Of the
people relates the story of their wan
derirgs In search of the middle place,
and tells how they knew 1t when they
reached It. It is about 200 yards south
OF their village IN western New Mex
leo. So miles south of Gallup, on the
Santa Fe route. It is marked by a
crude shrine. built like a bake oven,
out Of nat stones. Two large remov-
able fagstones close the entrance,
which faces the rising sun.
On the top are a number Of concre-
tionary formations. known to the In
dams as thunder stones. In the In.
terror are large numbers OF feather
tufted prayer sticks, and several earth.
enware vessels filed with sacred
meal. Numerous ceremonial dances,
In the nature of rainmaking rites. are
performed around this holy place.

there are SS1 women for every 1000
men, in Barrow-in-Furness 82S, and
In Rhondda only S25, while the fem

The superfuous woman makes her
home in pleasanter places-in health
resorts on the south coast, in Bath,
the city Of fashion, and in the royal
borough Of Kensington, where there
are 1857 women to every 1000 men.
In Bournemouth the disparity between

Free from Sin.

Among the many excuses for drink
ing one Of the most convincing is that
noted by Lord John Russell in the Jour
nal kept Of his youthful travels in
Spain. When visiting Plassncia he
met a convivial ecclesiastic who ex-
pressed his astonishment that a scion
Of the aristocracy noted throughout
Europe for their drinking proves
should prove so moderate in his DO
tations. Lord John retorted that he
had no desire to reach the six bottle
standard set by some of his peers. His
boon companion proceeded to rebuke
him for his departure from sane ira
dition and concluded by remarking
that even on religious grounds you
are wrong. For he who drinks well
sleeps well. He who sleeps well sins
not. And he who sins not shall be

WAS AN INSPIRATION
FIRST SINGING OF SANKEY'S
MOST FAMOUS HYMN.
The Ninety and Nine" so POVERTY,
an Aid In EvansslIstIe Work.
Was Not Planned BY ths
Writer.


The religious faiths of the world
have produce many remarkable and
beautiful lyrics. such as Newman's,
Lead. Kindly Light" the Nearer, My
God. to Thee q Sarah rlower Adams,
and Cowpsrs 'Nood Moves IA Q Mys-
FERROUS Way" Many Of these were
written under peculiarly dramatic cir
cumstances, as was particularly the
case with those Of Cowper and John
Henry Newman alluded to above,
writes r. Reddsn In the Milwaukee
Sentinel
But vide a. has been their use and
their application among Christians Of
all cresds and seets. there IL one hymn
that ovsrshsdows all others, whether
ws consider It's widespread popularity
Or Its wonderful svsnSsHstie power.
This hymn is '-The Ninety and Nine"
By the late Ira D. Sankey, long the mu-
aicsl associate OF Dwight L. Moody.
These two men together were the
greatest soul winners ever known, and
the success Of their united work was
undoubtedly largely traceable to Mr..
sankey's songs In general. and to
The Ninety and Nine" in particular.
Its unique origin has often been de-
serieed. but win bear repetition.
When leaving Glasgow for Edin-
surgh with Mr.. Moody, Mr.. sankey
bought q penny religious paper.
CHANGING over II az they rode on the
cars, his eye fell upon a few verses
In the corner Of the page. One day
they had an unusually impressive
meeting In Edinbursh, In which DR..
nonaT had spoken on The Good Shop
htrd." At the alose Of the address
Ar. Moody bsckoned to his partner to
sing something appropriate.
AT nrst he could think Of nothing
but the Twsnty-third Psalm, but that
he had sung 10 often: his second
thought wes 10 sing the verses he had
found in the paper but how could II
% done whom he had no tune for
themf Then 4 thought came-to sing
the verses he had found In the paper
anyway. He put the verses before
him. touched the keys Of the organ.
and sang. not knowing where he was
going 10 come out He finished the
FIRST verse amid profound silence. He
~O~ - AOA8 % colA anu WOnQGTGd II ne
could sing the second the same way
He tried It and succeeded. After that
1t was easy to sing IT, When he had
finished the hymn the meeting was all
broken down-thronss were crying
and ministers were sobbing all around
him"
Hundreds were converted then and
there. while in subsequent years other
thousands OF souls were gathered in
through the singing OF ~The Ninety
and Nine"
Clearly the song was the result OF
n sudden inspiration 50 far as its nu-
steal setting was concerned, and Il
may be doubted If there was ever q
similar case Of spontaneous and subse-
Qusntly successful composition.
The Ninety and Nine" literally
sang Its way around the world. The
simple paraphrase Of the Scripture
parable appeals to "all sorts and con-
diticns Of men," and the worlds hymn
oAogy is the richer for that Sunday
