DR. HUGHES ON ALCOHOL
Continued from yesterday


 The recent publication of the Lon don Asylum Comittee's annual re- rort shows that in one large asylum the medical superintendent states that, out of 5S inmates received. PIT of these admissions were due to in temperance and drink"
 These statistics also compare well with those issued by the lunancy commissioners and on taking an av- craze for the last five years. drink as cause averages S0.9 per cent of the admissions.
 Alcohol and Insanity Considering the United States as q whole, it is variously estimated that from p to 30 per cent of all the in sane patients admitted to the asylums year by year owe their misfortunes directly or indirectly to the abuse of alcohol. The statistics of other cOun- tries are closely similar In England and Wales, according to the estimate of Dr. Robert Jones, alcohol claims 1l,O00 victims among an asylum pop ulation of 116.000.
 The testimony of Continental alien ists is no less unequivocal. and the statistics upon which their opinions are based are no less suggestive as to the alarming increase in the ra- wages of alcohol in recent years Thus the official returns from the asylum of St. Anne, in Paris, for the period 1S12-15. show that of 733 insane patients, 2S per cent of the men. and less than per cent of the women owed their condition to alcoholism. But of the patients in the same insti- tuition in 1900. according to Dr. Le- grain, no fewer than T per cent of the men, and 22 per cent of the wo- men were alcoholic
 Altogether similar are the returns from the asylum of Vienna Accord ing to TilkonWsN. 14,391 insane pa tients were under treatment there during the peliod 1S71-1SS2: and of these ? per cent of the men were victims of alcohol. At the Interna- tional Congress Against Alcohol. held in Vienna in 1901, it was shown that the corresponding percentages for these institutions had grown to over 1 51 per cent for the period 1SS5-1S96.

WHEN LINCOLN FACED A
MOB.

TT was during a political cam
paign in Springfield, ILL.,. be-
fore the war that Lincoln
protected Edward D. Baker from
a mob which threatened to drag
him off the stand. Baker was
speaking in a large room," says
Arnold. biographer of Lincoln,
"rented and used for the court
sessions, and Lincoln's Office was
in an apartment over the court
room and communicating with 1t
by a trapdoor. Lincoln was in
his Office listening to Baker
through the open trapdoor, when
Baker, becoming excited, abused
the Democrats, many of whom
were present. A cry was raised,
Pull him off the stand!'
The instant Lincoln heard
the cry. knowing a general fight
was imminent, his athletic form
was seen descending from above
through the opening of the trap
door, and, springing to the side
OF Baker and waving his hand
for silence, he said with dig
nifty: Gentlemen, let us not dis
grace the age and country in
which we live. This is a land
where freedom of speech is guar
anteed. Baker has a right to
speak. / am here to protect him,
and no man shall take him from
this stand IL | a prevent it.
Quiet was restored, and Baker
finished his speech without inter-
ruption."

The tower. 200 feet high, was built
by Americans at the close of the civil

extended by the Rev. Newman Hall
and his congregation to the northern
cause when public opinion in England
was almost entirely On the side of the

Lincoln's Last, Shortest
and Best Speech"

Here is what Abraham Lincoln himself called his own
"last. shortest and best speech" 1t is reproduced from Stod-
dards Abraham Lincoln. The Man and the War President"
In that book the item is printed in fac-simile, in Lincoln's own
handwriting. 1t is related that the president himself. in one Of
his few spare moments, wrote it out for Noah Brooks. then a
Washington correspondent for one Of the New York papers.
for MI. Brooks to print as a newspaper paragraph:
"On Thursday Of last week two ladies from Tennessee
came before the President asking the release Of their husbands
held as prisoners of war at Johnson's Island. They were put
off till Friday. when they came again, and were again put off
to Saturday. At each Of the interviews one Of the ladies
urged that her husband was a religious man. On Saturday
the President ordered the release of the prisoners, and then
said to this lady. you say your husband is a religious man;
tell him when you meet him. that say / am not much Of a
judge Of religion. but thai, in my opinion, the religion that sets
men to rebel and fight against their government. because. as
they think. that government does not sufficiently help some men
to eat their bread in the sweat Of Other mems faces. is not the
sort Of religion upon which people can get to heaven ,
