The Taboo on Moderate Drinking.

The use Of alcohol is receiving som,
hard knocks these days. A prominent
railway system, not content with tn,
general rule heretofore in force on rail
ways forbidding employees to drink
while on duty, now forbids employee,
to indulge at all in drinking out OF EN-
ployment hours, or in any other conduct
which will impair their health or make
them less alert and less capable while
on duty. The owner of one of the ma.
tons pets-a prominent baseball team
announces that moderation in drink
ing is not sufficient; the players on his
team must leave alcohol entirely alone
and abandon cigarettes The justification
for such rules may be found not only in
the difficulty of being moderate in in
diligence, but also in the cumulative
and after-efTects of dissipation. The
world is moving; the old fetch of per
sonal liberty at whatever cost of dan
ger to the public at large seems to be
losing its power. The Journal of the
American Medical association thinks
man to whom the life and safety of
others are entrusted may be expected or
even required to be as abstemious as
ball players and railway employees.

various stages of advancement from rep

kans is matter for speculation only. Ra-
eially, the problem will be difficult. Geo
graphically, however, it would be simple.
For such a federation would have as
basis compact territory.
If it comprised only Bulgaria, Servia
and Montenegro, its area would be about
100000 square miles--or rather more
than that Of Illinois and its population
approximately 5000 900, or about that
of Pennsylvania. This does not include,
of course, the European provinces Of
Turkey, with population Of about 81
100000, which might be Incorporated
in Balkan federation. Nor does it in
clude the kingdom of Roumania, the
largest and most populous of all the
Balkan states, which has, however,
taken no part in the present struggle.

About half of the population of Tur-
key in Europe is Mahometan, and nearly

MUCH NEEDED SHOWERS.
Withering Vegetation Revived by Co
plus Rains Last Night and
This Morning.

There had been but little rain since
July, and the parched earth had caus-
ed anxiety to truckers in this sec
tion of the state. About nine o'clock
last night clouds formed and light
ming and thunder ushered in much
needed showers. The rain at times fell
in torrents. The downpours were ac-
companied by considerable lightning
and thunder. The showers came at
intervals, continuing throughout most
of the night and early today.
During the prevalence of the first
downpour people who live in the
neighborhood, say that lightning ran
down the conductor on St. Mary's
Church steeple. Those who allege that
they witnessed the bolt say it ran on
the lightning rod near the cross on
the steeple in the shape of ball of
fire, and in a second the rod glowed as
though it was red hot. An examina-
tion this morning failed to show any
damage to the rod or structure.

SHE HAD TWO KNIVES.
Wanted to Give Taft Sacred Knife"
Woman Claimed She Was the
Presidents Wife.

Columbus, o., Aug. 28.-An attempt
ed attack on President Taft here to-
day for the Ohio Columbus Centen-
nial, was made by supposedly in
sane woman in the Southern Hotel,
within an hour and a half after the
Presidents arrival in the city. Detec-
tives caught and arrested the woman
before sle was able to lay hands on
the President.
The woman who gave her name as
Carolyn Beers, of Greenville, Ohio,
attempted to enter the same elevator
with President Taft as he was about
to go to the breakfast room of the
hotel. When searched two pocket
knives were found hidden in the folds
of her dress.
The woman was seen about the cor
ridors of the hotel yesterday and to-
day when she tried to crowd into the
same elevator with Taft, she was i'm
mediately arrested. She told the po-
lice she wanted to give the president
"sacred knife" Detectives 7. c.
Johnson of Pittsburgh, and Ollie Ham
er, of Columbus, made the arrest.
"I am the Presidents wife," the
woman shouted as the detectives
stopped her in the act of entering the
elevator with Taft. ~ am following
him to see that he is true to me. l
have a sacred knife which I am going
to give him."
The woman was rushed to the city
prison where she was searched by the
matron ard the knives were found.
Both were pocket knives, one with a
blade three inches long.
The woman had about $500 on her
person. In later interviews with Po-
lice Chief O'Neil, the woman talked
incoherently. She said she had seen
President Taft at the Gibson House
in Cincinnati last fall and that he had
then told her to 60 home and stay
with her daughter. She continued to
insist that she was Mrs. Taft and to
quiet her the chief told her he would
have the President visit her at the
City prison.
