ALBANY AND PROHIBITION
RECORD MADE IN ONE OF THE
TOWNS THAT WERE POINTED
TO AS “RUM SOAKED.”
Considerable interest attaches to
the workings of prohibition in Al
bany. That was one of the cities
referred to by traveling evangelists
of the Sam Jones type as ‘“rupm
soaked.” It had, we believe, forty
saloons, consumed considerable quan
tities of liquor itself, and shipped out
very much larger quantities for the
benefit of the country round about.
It was generally believed that pro
hibition would be a death blow, al
most, to Albany for some time to
come; that liquors would be shipped
into the city in large quantities, and
that the moral effect of the law would
be comparatively slight.
But such apprehensions prove to
have been poorly based. Albany
seems to have thrived under prohibi
tion, or at least to have suffered no
more from current business dv;n'cs-‘
sion than other cities of its size.
And as to the consumption of liquors
the report of the mayor would seem
ingly establish it beyond question
that there has been a tremendous
shrinkage in the drinking capacity of
the people. His report of the work
t‘(})ne in the police court, over which
the mayor presides, is one of the
most succinct and most convincing
arguments in favor of prohibition in
a small city that we have yet seen.
‘While we have never favored sump
tuaryv laws of any character there can
be no question that in some places
it has worked decidedly to the ad
wvantage of sobriety, te the lessening
‘of disorder and of crime, and proba;
bly to the financial benefit of the
public generally. But here is the
story of Albany, clipped from the
mayor’s annual report. It needs no
commentary. It tells its own story
quite forcefully:
“The duties connected with this
department during the present year
have not been as arduous as in other
years. This, I think, has been large
1y due to the existence of the prohibi
tion statute.

MURDER AN ISSUE IN TENNESSEE FIGHT
Prohibitionists Say That Carmack Is a Martyr to the Cause, and
Will Fight Hard to Make the State Dry.
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—‘‘Remember
Carmack!’”’ is the rallying cry of the
temperance forces of Tennessee, who
are gathering in the capital during
the first week of the legislative ses
sion to demand the passage of a pro
hibition bill that will drive every
saloon from the state. Only three
Tennessee big cities are now left in
which liquor can be legally sold, and
there is every prospect that before
long Memphis, Nashville and Chat
tanooga will be renderea ‘‘dry.”’
The assassination of Senator Car
mack, the editor of a local newspa
per, by a political enemy has been
made an issue by the friends of state
wide prohibition. Carmack was last
vear a candidate for the guberna
torial nomination against Governor
Patterson. He ran on a prohibition
platform, but was defeated by a nar
row margin after a heated campaign
in which the liquor .traffic was the
principal issue. He did not allow
his defeat at the polls to end the
campaign, but kept the prohibition
question to the forefront through
editorials in the newspaper of which
he was the editor. It was his de
voted advocacy of the temperance

The Louisville Courier-Journal
tells us of a Belshazzar’'s feast to
date. The Courier-Journal recalls
history that is more or less familiar;
that toward the close of the presi
dential campaign of 1884 Mr. Blaine,
the republican nominee, having
swung around the circle in the west
called by the city of New York on
his way eastward to his home in
Maine; that it proved a fatal visit;
that had he gone directly to his des
tination there seems no room to
doubt that he would have been elect
ed; that he would have escaped both

quet came to be called, and the in
genuous Dr. Burchard; that the Bur
chard incident is still very well re
membered; that the dinner at Del
monico’s, where the candidate was
made to sit at the table with Jay
Gould, Russell Sage and other chiefs
of predatory wealth, fell into second
place even at the time and may not
be so vivid to the retrospect; but it
played its part in the defeat which
followed, a defeat that seems to have
ARCTIC TEMPERATURES. {
Zero Weather Is Regarded as Mild
and Agreeable.
According to eminent arctic ex
plorers physical sensations are rela
tive, and the mere enumeration of so
many degrees of heat or cold gives
no idea of their effect upon the sys
tem.
One explorer states that he should
have frozen at home in England in a
temperature that he found very com
fortable indeed in Lapiand, with his
solid diet of meat and butter and his
garments of reindeer.
The following is a correct scale of
the physical effects of cold, calcu
lated for the latitude of 65 to 70 de
‘igrees north:
Fifteen degrees above zero—un
pleasantly warm.
Zero—mild and agreeable.
Ten degrees below zero—pleasant
ly fresh and bracing.
Twenty degrees below Zzero—
sharp, but not severely cold. One
must keep one's fingers and toes in
motion and rub one's nose occa
sionally.
Thirty degrees below zero—very
cold. Particular care must be taken
of the nose and extremities. Plenty
of the fattest food must be eaten.
Forty degrees below zero—intense
ly cold. One must keep awake at
all hazzards, muffie up to the eyes
and test the circulation frequently,
that it may not stop somewhere be
fore one knows it.

cause, declare his friends, that led
to his tragic death in a duel on the
streets of Nashville. Now he is be
ing hailed as a martyr to prohibition,
and a state-wide law prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of liquor is
urged as the most fitting monument
to his memory. s
Despite reverses they suffered in
the first conflicts with the liquor ele
ment the leaders of the temperance
army are confident that public opin
ion will force the present legislature
to pass a prohibition law.
It is alleged that the prohibition
bill will have more than the neces
sary seventeen votes in the senate,
and that nearly two-thirds of the
members of the house are state
widers, or will eventually be brought
to that way of thinking by the force
of public opinion.
The liquor dealers have not vet
given up hope that Tennessee will be
saved from the impending fate of
prohibition, and the battle between
the ‘‘wets’ "~ ahd ‘'‘drys’”’ will. be
fought to a finish. Opponents of pro
hibition assert that the attempt to
make the Carmack murder an issue
is absurd, and that the assassination
of the former senator was due to per
sonal difference and had nothing to
do with the liquor controversy.
put fate upon her mettle because it
required a combination of many
agencies to effect.
The Courier-Journal thinks that
“obviously the lesson was not lost
upon our latter-day republicans.
They postponed their Belshazzar's
feast until after the election. Why
they should throw off the mask so
soon and so shamelessly is quite an
other matter. That President-elect
Taft’'s bottle-holder, Roosevelt, was
inveighing against Rockefeller, Har
riman and the rest in violent terms
and tones—even denouncing Rocke
feller’s declaring for Taft as a weak
invention of the enemy designed to
injure the republican nominee—is
fresh in the public mind.

DOOM OF TOUGH OLD RATS. '
French Scientist Confident He Can‘
Knock Out Erie Basin Rodents. 1
The rats that infest the ware
houses, piers and platform of the
Erie Basin, Brooklyn, have the repu
tation of being so tough as to be im
mune to poison. These rats break
fast on strychnine, dine on arseniec,
and make dessert on c¥yanide of po
tassium, swear the longshoremen
who work at the basin.
Tough as the rats are every one
of them is doomed to death; take the
word for it of Prof. Jean Danyse, di
rector of the micro-uiological labor
atory in the agricultural department
of the Pasteur Instituts, Paris.
Dr. Danyse, seeking to rid the
French fields of destructive vermin,
found that the rats were dying by
the thousand of an infectious dis
ease, which, however, is communica
ble to no other animal. The pro
fessor ‘‘made a culture” from an in
fected rat and injected a minute
quantity of the serum in a healthy
rat, which promptly turned up its
‘toes. Then Dr. Denyse sent some of
his universal lightning rat poison to
Havre, and the wharf rats there par
took of it and were not.
“Pooh!” said an American sailor,
whose ship was at Marseilles, ‘‘this
stuff, whatever it is, knocks out a
French rat, but the good old rats of
Erie Basin would grow fat on it.”
This remark came to Dr. Danyse’s
ears; he had never heard of Erie
Basin, but the yankee sailor's scorn
put the French savant on his mettle,
He sent anough ‘“‘culture” to Brook-
Iyn to kill thousands of TRts, =At
3 o'clock in the afternoon, in the
presence of Benjamin Rockwell, su
pervisor of warehouses of the port of
New York, Prof. Danyse's rat ex
terminator was scattered in all
ships, warehouses, and piers in the
Erie Basin inclosure.
American scientists are interested
in the test. They say rats destroy
property worth $160,000,000 annual
gly in the United States; that they
spread disease among men, but there
Ihas been no means known to exter
minate them.—New York World,

'FROM SHOCK OF A E
| s
;iHELLO GIRL IS UNABLE TO
| HEAR. SHE SUES TELEPHONE
| COMPANY FOR $25,000.
i
NEW YORK.—Marian Murphy,
formerly a ‘“‘hello girl” in the Frank
lin exchange, was suddenly stricken
' deaf two years ago, and since theni
;she has not been able to hear a thing. |
IThe shock caused her to lose her
power of equilibrium, and she hadl
’to be taught once more how to walk,
‘says the World.
Miss Murphy maintains that her
afflictions were caused by a shock
sustained while she was on duty at
the Franklin exchange switchboard,
and she is suing the New York Tele
phone Company for $25,000 dam
ages. Her lawyer is P. A. Hatting,
of No. 5 Beekman street, who intends
to put on the stand ali the doctors
and nurses who have studied or been
connected with the puzzling case.
The former telephone girl is 21
years old. When a World reporter
called at her home it was only by
his enunciating very slowly and
clearly that she was able to tell, by
closely watching the movements of
his lips, what he was saying.
Sudden Shock From Attachment.
“I left Manual Training High
School several years ago to take a
position in the Franklin exchange in
New York,! sgid the girl. *l' had
been studying to be a teacher, but I
left school before I ..ad finished my
course so that I could help support
the family. Ome Saturday afternoon
two years ago I felt a sudden shock
from one of the attachments that are
clasped on both ears of all telephone
operators. This was followed by an
other, which seemed to run up and
down my face from my ear to my
chin. I returned home at the end
of the day with a throbbing head
ache, but did not think that anything
serious was the matter.
“I was awakened in the middle of
the night by the throbbing in my
head, which had grown much worse.
I called to my mother, and when
she came to my bed I couldn’t hear
a word she said to me. The throb
bing continued all night, and next
morning when I started to get up
I found that I had no strength in my
limbs and couldn’t walk. 1 was
taken to St. Mary’s hospital, where I
remained for three months.
Taught Her to Walk Again.
“While there the nurses and doc-{
tors took me in hand each day and;
gradually taught me how to walk. |
I didn’t have the faintest idea of'
what I had to do in order to get
about, and it was just like teaching
a little child how to walk. Finally,
after they had done all they could
for my deafness, they discharged me
as incurable. Ever since then I have
been to \a number of specialists, as
well as to Eye and Ear Hospital, but
nobody seems to be able to help me.”
Dr. J. F. Griffin, who attended Miss
Murphy at St. Mary's Hospital, said:
“This case was very unusual. Th’el
trouble was with the inner ear,
where the fluids of the semi~circnlal“
canals act something like the spirits
in the carpenter’s level, for they con—‘
trol one’s equilibrium. Of course I]
could not swear that this condition
was caused by the shock of the tele
phone instrument, but it is perfectly
possible that such might have been
the case.” '

HARD TIMES HIT SHIPPING. 1
Almost One Million Fewer Persons
Crossed Atlantic Than Year Ago.
The transatlantic passenger travel,
both east and west-bound, shows a
shrinkage of almost 1,000,000 per
sons in comparison with the figures
for the year 1907, and of about 400,-
000 for the year 1906, says a New
York dispatch. During the year just
closing the steamship companies car
ried a total of 1,530,161 passengers,
of whom 670,680 were west-bound,
or incoming, and 859,481 were out
going, or east-bound. ¥From these
figures it will be seen that 178,801
more persons left the United States
during 1908 than came in.

In all the various weaknesses, dis
placements, prolapsus, inflammation
and debilitating, catarrhal drains and
in all cases of nervousness and de
bility Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion is the most efficient remedy that
can possibly be used. It has to its
credit hundreds of thousands of
cures—more, in fact, than any other
remedy put up for sale through drug
gists, especially for woman's use.
The ingredients of which “Favorite
Prescription’ is composed have re
ceived the most positive endorsement
‘from the leading medical writers on
Materia Medica of all the several
schools of practice. All the ingredi
ents are printed in plain English on
the wrapper enclosing the bottle, so
that any woman making use of this
famous medicine may know exactly
what she is taking. Dr. Pierce takes
his patients into his full confidence,
which he can afford to do, as the
formula after which the “Favorite
Prescription” is made will bear the
most careful examination.
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are
the best and safest laxative for wo

This picture will give you some idea of how I received a
watch for repairs.
About twelve years ago Mr. Geo. Bass happened to the very
dangerous accident of getting wound up in some machinery, and
by accident he is still living, and I uuderstand the watch is also
still alive. The case and entire watch was bent around the shaft;
if anything worse looking than the picture. I repaired the watch
throughout in my shop. I bought a dial for the movement, I be
lieve, is all the new manufactured parts I used.
I now have a complete s hop, better than ever, and I promise
better work for the money. l
I hope that any time you may be in need of anything in the
watch and jewelry line you will remember. Your humble servant,
