Accomplished Musician TAX
ing Treatment of Ham
mond Doctor Now in Chi
cago Hospital Laboring
Under Delusions.

This is the story of Reginald
Dekoven Deighton, pianist pipe
organist and dope fiend. In fact, it is
the story of the blighted career of one
of the most accomplished musicians
who ever visited the city of Hammond.
Reginald Dekoven Deighton came to
Hammond, a physical wreck. He he j
become the victim of the cocaine habit
through the use of a catarrah renned y
and later took up the use of morphine
Although he had become a musician
of note and had played in most of the
capitals OF Europe and In the large
cities of the United States he became
so addicted to the use of drugs that
his career was threatened.
He came to Hammond in such a ply
sical condition that he seemed on the
verge of insanity and collapse. DIR.
Alva Young took charge of him and
determined to cure him of the habit if
possible.
Deightons playing became the talk
of the town. He played before the
members of the University club. the
Elks and played the pipe organ at the
Masonic temple for the benefit of his
friends.
Uses Less Drugs.
In the meantime DR. Young had re-
duced his daily doses of coke and NOR
phine to an extent that made it ap-
parent that a cure could be effected III
time Deighton seemed to be very
grateful for the interest the doctor had
taken IN his patient.

IS WORTH INITIATING.
Court Trial Expedited by Submission
to Jury without Argument.

From the Philadelphia Record
An unusual feature Of the Gardner
bribery trial in New York, which was
brought to an end last week with the
acquittal OF the defendant, was the
submission OF the case to the jury, by
agreement OF the opposing counsel.
without the customary long-winded
summing-up speeches of the lawyers.
The case was thereby expedited by at
least a couple OF days. and there is
no reason to believe that the suppress
sion of the oratory had the slightest
effect upon the finding of the jury.
The example set in this New York
ton of the legal fraternity elsewhere
in the country. There has been much
complaint of the tediousness of pro-
cedure in criminal, as well as in civil
cases under our system, and any amend
ment OF our practices that would tend
to facilitate the speedy administration
of justice should be welcome alike to
bench and bar. There are, of course
cases in which the recapitulation of
evidence and the Interpretation of il
by both parties are essential to the
cause OF justice: but such cases are
after all, exceptional The aim of the
summing-up speeches is not usually to
enlighten, but to befog the jury: not
to aid the jurors to a finding based on
reason and fact, but to lay their minds
open to the sway of passion and SEN
timent.
In the New York case, as in most
others, the judge in his charge mar
shaled all the facts that were meet for
the consideration of the jury. There
was a saving of time without prejudice
to prosecution or defense. If we could
cut out two-thirds of the windy and
often labored speeches that take up so
much of the time of our courts with
out serving any useful purpose. the
cause of justice would be none the worse
off and the judicial mill could dispose
of its grist more rapidly, to>the general
ADVANTAGE

There are over 800 actual members of
the Paris Lyceum Club, of whom about
80 are French women, the great ma
jority being Parisiennes. The $50 foreign
members belong to the English and
American colony in Paris. There are also
some Italian, Swedish, Russian, and Ger
man members. The Lyceum has become
the center of the French feminist move
ment, not in the meaning generally given
to the phrase in connection with the Lon
don suffragettes, but of the bon femi-
nisme," which consists in establishing an
intelligent understanding and. relationship
between women of intelligence, between
those who work and who wish to render
themselves useful to humanity. Poll
tics and religion are not talked in the
club. Every Friday there is a concert,
to which each member can invite a guest.
Wednesday is reserved for debates, and
all these gatherings are most popular.

quarters there have been several exhibit

Local Traffic Regulations.

The action of the Board of Trade last
night in devoting considerable time to
the discussion of local traffic regula-
tions is 4 practical manifestation of
civic interest. 1t may be said, cf course,
that Washington is not a congested city;
that its commercial interests are not as
extensive as in other municipalities like
New York and Chicago, and that for
these reasons, it is not necessary to
adopt the regulations which are in force
elsewhere. On the contrary, 4 series
of well-dehned rules are all the more
necessary here because the wide streets
and a lack of stringent laws has led to
a haphazard use of the thoroughfares.
Nearly all the accidents which occur in
Washington are due to the fact that
drivers are where they should not be,
that the practice of cutting corners" is
prevalent, and that the ordinary rules
of the road are more honored in the
breach than in the observance.
1t would be most satisfactory if, for
instance, there were uniform regula-
tions in all cities. This being admitted,
it would be well for the Washington au-
thorities to give close attention to the
rules which have been adopted in New
York where traffic is handled even
more sIdllfuIly than in London, which
city was taken as a pattern when the
work of regulating traffic was under
taken ten years ago Paris has similar
laws in force and is becoming a model
for the world The cost Of enforcing
regulations IS small The main thing is
to educate the drivers, as they are, in
fact. the regulators of traffic This will
take time, especially as drivers in Wash
ington are not too intelligent or too care
ful, but they will be quick to learn if
the rules which they are to follow are
plain and sensible.
The work of securing model traffic
regulations has already begun and
should be completed as rapidly as pos
sible When the new rutes are put
into operation and enforced the number
of accidents upon the streets will ma
terially decrease.

CARNEGIE ON RICHES.
His Good Advice to Girls on the Sub
ject of Marrying Wealthy Men.

Frun the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Mr.. Carnegie has been dispensing good
advice to young women on the subject
OF marrying rich husbands. He warns
them against the serious error into which
so many of them are likely to fall
that of spurning some estimable young
man merely because he happens to be
a millionaire. Circumstances over which
he has no control may have made him
rich. in spite of his own struggle to
remain poor Mr. Carnegie acknowledges
that he has been responsible for the
creation of more than twoscore million
aires. Here are at least forty-three per-
sons, mainly Pittsburg residents, who
started out with the best intentions of
earning their bread in the sweat of
their brows. Along came a thrifty, far
seeing Scotchman, who beginning at SIS
a week as a telegraph operator had
mounted from rung to rung Of the ladder
to portentous riches and a position OF
commanding influence in the steel world.
He taught the others how to do what
he had done. He made them his cap
tains and Iieutenants. He apprised them
Of prospective profitable investments.
They got rich, because they could not
help it. They do not deserve the blame,
and Mr. Carnegie now comes forward
unselfshly and admits that the culpa-
blity is all his own.
In view of the eXtenuatinS crcum-
stances the American girl will overlook
the obliquity involved in the ownership
of a great many shares of United states
Steel preferred. and she may be induced
to feel compassion for the plight of the
man made rich against his own will
perhaps as the result of his fathers will.
The American girl has a generous ma
ture, and she will reluctantly consent to
help the affiuent young magnate dispose
Of his superfluous wealth. OF course,
she would much prefer to emulate the
example of Mr.. Carnegie's mother and
run the household as her own cook,
housemaid, laundress, and seamstress, but
she will without a grudging murmur
make the sacrifice and consent to gilded
idleness on the Riviera and the ennui Of
a Fifth avenue palace, in lieu of the de-
lights Of doing her own marketing and
personally quarreling with the butcher
over the price of round steak. She must
be urged not to throw herself away upon
poor man when there are so many
needy millionaires.

Some Words of Wisdom.

Senator Lodge uttered words of wis
dom at the banquet of the women's well
fare department of the Civic Federation
when he declared that there was danger
n the present tendency to rely upon the
government for everything. There are
some people who advocate multiplicity
of laws They believe that men and
women can be made good citizens by
regulation. They would have every rule
of conduct laid down in the statute
books, even to the extent of directing
the minor details of the family and
household. In the minds of these peo-
pie the questions of food anG clothing
and behavior should be decided by some
one in authority, and then the rest of the
community should blindly obey.
This system, if pursued 10 its logical
conclusion, would, as Senator Lodge
points out lead to the irresponsibility
of the individual The lesson taught by
France, where the government sought to
control everything and everybody and
then fell, is one that ought not to be
los. upon the United States. The Amer
lean people, if they are to continue strong
and self-reiiant must emphasize the inn

Boy MiIIioaaires.

From the Book Of knowledge
I often call the boys Of the public
schools of New York my millionaires,
not because they have, or ever will have.
millions of dollars of their own, but be-
cause they have millions upon millions
Of minutes to spend. A boy OF ten, for
example, has a prospect of living until
he is seventy. which means that he has
fortune of over 10000, 900 of minutes. OF
these millions he will have TO spend near
ly a third, or 10000, 900. in sleep, and an
other third in earning his food. shelter,
clothing, and other necessities of life.
But he will still have a large fortune to
spend as he pleases. The failure or sue
cess. or at any rate the largeness or
narrowness, Of his life will depend largely
on how he chooses to spend this surplus.

Conyicts and Free Labor.

The Kansas house of representatives
has approved the bill permitting the use
of convicts in building the river boule-
vard between Kansas City, Kans., and
Leavenworth and the measure may be-
come a law before the final rush of the
closing days. There does not appear to
have been any political opposition to the
bill, which follows the precedent set by
other States in the employment of con-
victs in outdoor work which does not
enter into competition with free skilled
labor. If the convicts are allowed to
build this boulevard, the advantages of
outdoor labor for prisoners will be still
further demonstrated.
In Missouri an attempt is being made
to do away with the convict lease sys-
TEN whereby the prisoners are en-
ployed in factories, where they enter
into competition with free labor. A bill
has been proposed to construct public
highways by prison labor, and there is
a chance that this bill will become law.
Sentiment has crystallized into objec-
ton to the present system of employing
convicts, as the factories are not well ven
tilated and are not supplied with mod
ern facilities where the men could work
under humane and hygienic conditions.

The Pay of National Legislators.

The United States is more liberal to
its national legislators than any other
country in the world. Canada comes
next upon the list, members of both
houses in that country receiving $4,000
a year, with deductions foT nonattend-
ance Great Britain, Italy, and Spain
are the only nations which do not re-
munerate the men who make their laws
Members of both houses are paid in
some countries as they are in the United
States. In addition to the salary it is
customary to allow the legislators spe-
cial travelling privileges. On the con-
tinent of Europe. where the railways
usually are state-owned, free travel is
allowed In Germany this privilege ex-
tends through the session. In other
countries compensation for cnly one
journey to and from the capital is al
lowed. In France small annual pay
ment enables the senator or the deputy
to travel free over the railways all the
year round Greece, which has only
one chamber, allows its members free
railway and steamship passage during
the session

A Good Road to LeeSburg.

The cooperation of Washington citi-
zens in the effort to construct model
highway between the National Capital
and Leesburg is most praiSeworthy The
pike at present is in wretched condition,
and in some places is a mass Of powders,
resembling the channel of river.
Not only is Leesburg fourishing
and attractive town, but it IS located at
the threshold Of picturesque mountain
region, where already many weil-Lnown
Washingtonians have beautiful homes.
Under present conditions, however, it is
almost inaccessible except by railroad.
With good road it would be within easy
automobile distance of this city, besides
which well-oonstructed highway would
be of incalculable benefit to the farmers
of Fairfax and Loudoun counties. The
business men of Washington would also
profit by increased trade.
The public spirit which has inspired
this effort is most commepdable.

When the King Motors.

From London Tit Bits
1t may not be generally known that the
drivers of the motor cars of the King, the
Prince of Wales, and the Duke of Con-
nanght are all policemen. The late Kings
instructions were, Run no risks, but lose
no time" The latter clause used to be
obeyed so implicitly that Lord DENLY
once, when returning from Newmarket a
horses length" behind the King, on
whom he was in attendance, was stopped
in his motor by the police at Barnet-a
happy illustration of the principle that
the King can do no wrong. The royal
drivers do not rely on a motor horn

A Horse, a Horse!

From the Boston Globe.
1t is erroneous to suppose that mod

tanned that there is an appalling scarcity
of good horses for army purposes in case
of trouble with a foreign power. The
remedy suggested is government super
vision of the breeding of these animals
for the army European countries have
adopted the plan with satisfactory results.
Horses for the cavalry are always in
great demand in war times. In 1854 our
government purchased 1SS,71S horses. The
Union army at that time was requiring
500 new horses a day. In one OF his cam
paigns. Napoleon saved only L6o0 of the
