know that some unfortunate drunk
ards receive but little sympathy, and
that many think that the Jail or the
policemans club, or to be knocked
into the nearest ditch is good enough
for them, but this is hardly the right
way to treat them.
Indeed, 1 will say that it is my
opinion but few of these men are 50

say there are but very few of them
that have not made effort after ef-
fort to reform, and that most all of
them feel their degradation very
keenly.
No one who has not been in close
touch with such men can form any
idea Of the fight they put up or the
struggle that they often make to
throw off the shackles that enchain
them and bend them, and that
makes slaves of them. Nor can any
one but themselves know anything
of the power of the demon drink that
lures them on and drags them down
to their graves. Indeed, it is a well
known fact that so strong and pow
erful is this craving for drink in the
minds of the confirmed drunkard that
he is totally unable, of himself. -

there is nothing for him t. look for

we are often the cause of them first

nearest place in which to get it, and
the welcome that they receive causes
them to forget their loneliness. In
deed, we are all more or less guilty
in this respect, because we, as a rule,
take no interest in the stranger that
is within our gates, or even care
what becomes of him.
Ministers of the gospel, in many
instances, and church members, by
their pride, and by failing to follow
the example of their Master, who was
the friend of publicans and sinners,
help to swell the ranks of the drunk
ards. Society, too, by it's exclusive
ness, also helps to swell these ranks
Business men too often by their de.
votion to business and of gain, and
by caring nothing for their fellow
men, also contribute their share, as
do also many others. And this is a
great pity, for if things had been
different, and an institution of this
kind had been built where these un
fortunates could have been taken in
and cared for, what a great number
of them might have been saved from
an early grave and recovered for a
life of usefulness and honor. Think
of the many bright, talented and
handsome young men of this town
alone that might have been saved
from becoming wrecks of humanity
and an endless source of trouble and
suffering to themselves and friends
And think, too, of the many still
among us who might be saved from
a like fate if only there were an in
stitution of this kind here.
1t is only fair to state that the Y
NJ. c. A., by taking a great interes
in young men, and the Salvation
Army in particular, by getting il
close touch with these unfortunate
men, are doing a world of good, bu
even they are not equal or powerful
enough to combat this evil.
Very truly,

AFTER
THE FI5HMARKET

DR.. Wayson, city and county health
officer, stated today that all speed
possible is being made by the santa
ton and health committee of the
Board of Supervisors in drafting an
ordinance which will effectually con-
troll conditions at the fish market.
DR. Wayson declares that the new
ordinance will keep the food stalls
screened, and that the screens will
be used instead of being hoisted up
overhead, as they are most of the time
new, while the typhoid fly" and 9th
err kinds of insects hold high carnival
in the foods laid out for human con-
sumption. The health officer is keep
ing close touch on the way things
are being conducted, and as soon as
the ordinance can be got through
some of the stall-keepers are likely to
lose their licenses.
