tKl ,U»ut» tbe fact tb.tsev
”’| foreign governments—France,
Belgium, and Russia—have taken
acuon to limit the growing evils
of iterance, and to prevent
the dangers that accrue to society
from the liquor business .
The editor says: “Everywhere
in Europe the fact is becoming rec
ognized that liq mr selling is not
only an unbecoming bu iness. but
one that is socially and politically
dangerous, requ'ring new and rig
id regulation, or else total sup
pression." In France so dire have
become the i-vilsof intemperacce
from the use of brandy, absinth,
and various strong beverages, that
the administration has decided in
favor of government monopoly of
all alcoholic arinks stronger than
light wines and beer.
In Belgium a royal investigating
commission is gathering testimo
ny and preparing a report which is
expected to deal radically with the
whole subject. Russia has deter
mined upon a complete govern
ment monopoly of the manufac
ture and sale of the iiquer supply
for the entire empire. This aboli
tion of the private liquor traffic is
exacted to lessen the drunken
ness which has helped to k»«p the
Russian peasantry po ;r, degraded
and ignorant.
The Wine and Spirit Gazette
declares “that prohibition and li
quor selling are natural enemies.”
This is an admirable point of agree
ment, and the only one that oc
curs to us between the temperance
pArtyand the liquor party. It is
»n opinion that temperance peo
ple hare long held that prohibition
»nd liquor selling are natural an •
emies. but our opponents have
been quick to declare that in the
S’-ates that had prohibition “li-I
quor flowed as free as water."
Ii tnis were true, it seams more
than mysterious they should be’
meanwh'te compassing sea and 1
hud to make one proselyte in 'he '
municipal council and the State i
hgidaturs. One day they tell us,
t IH I" rmans are all leaving Kan-!

South Allies has a village on
the great Beak river owned by
Messrs. Searle <fe Sous, who operate
several small factories, in which
nearly one hundred hands are em
ployed, all of whom are abstainers.
The village has no liquor, no po
licemen, and so evenly and -ninth
ly do all the inhabitants live and
work together that it is a imdel
village.
The national convention of “The
Knights and Ladies of Honor.”
held in this citv this week, amend
ed its constitution so as to exclude
from membership in its relief fund
all persons connected in any way
with the liquor traffic. The adop
tion of such amendments requires
a two-third vote. Dr. Witherill,
supreme medical examiner of the
order, in advocating the amend
ment, cited the cases of about 40
other secret societies which ex
cluded from membership men en
gaged in the liquor business a"d
other dangerous occupations. He
gave figures showing that in Mun
ich, where the average age of the
business man is 53 years, that of
brewers is only 42.38, and that in
England the deathrate «mong sa
loon-keepers is 50 percent, greater
than the average.
John Reeve, _the comedian, was
once accosted in the Kensington
road by an elderly female with a
small bottle of g n in her hand.
“Pray, sir, I beg your pardon, is
this the way to the poor-house?”
John gave her a look of clerical
dignity: and pointing to the bot
tle, gravely said: “No, ma am;
but that is.”
In London there are no less
than 30 whisky dealers who make
use of the royal arms on their la

been appointed “purveyors to the

heaviest clog upon the progress,

TONS OF GOLD IN HOLLOW
TEETH.
One who has not had th : occa
sion to look up the facts in the
cise, ©r who never has seen esti
mates based on figures compiled
on that subject, has ne idea what
ever of the immense amount of
gold annually used by dentists in
their worK of filling and patching
up teeth. At a recent meeliugot
the Atlantis Seaboard Dentistry
Association some starling fuc»s
were brought out.
It appears from estimates made
by a well-known Philadelphia
dentist that the tooth carpenters
of thut city have used not less
than 8.750 pounds (ever four tons)
«,f gold during tho last 33 years.
The figures nre based on the 83
years period because that is the
number of years usually assigned
to a single generation.
Therefore, it may be said that
the 1,000,000 people now living in
tbe quaker City are daily carrying i
almost 9,000 pounds of gold
around in their mouths. If Phila
delphia’s 1,(00,000 inhabitants
have four tons of the yellow
raetul stored away in their teeth,
the people of the United States
certainly have 70 times as much,
>r 280 tons of metal in the gold
mines which lie between their
70,000,000 pairs of jaws.
If these stausics are not at
| fault, is jt any wonder that our
Treasury is periodically depleted
of its fnw paltry minions of
dollars? And it is not at all to hw
wondered at that when this gold
leaves the Government vaults it
seldom returns, for there are 40,-
000,000 Johnny Bui s that must
have their teeth filled, and they
have no mines on their little sea
locked island from which to
extract the necessary filling.
The tons of gold which have
been buried in the meuths of those
i who have lived and died since that
1 metal was first used by the deta
ists is almost beyond computa
tion. -»

HEAD BLOWN OFF
Wife ot Henrv Paiterson, a voung
Ha'i Count* Farmer
WAS INSTANTLY KILLED
By The Accidental Discharge
of a gun. Pattarson Had
Been out Hunting
Gainesville. Ga., March 14. —
Mr. Henry A. Paterson, a young
fanner living in the upper part of
Hall county, shot his wife about
9 o’clock on Wednesday evening,
killing her instantly.
There was no witness to the kill
ing and he claims that it was an
accident and is sustained by the
verdiet of he coroner’s jury He
had been hunting and returned af
ter supper time.
His wife retired just after his
return, and after partaking of bis
supper he took his gun to a table
near the bed, on which a lamp
was sitting, and placing a cap on
the left tube, the right barrel was
discharged, and the load entering
her forehead tore oft' the side and
hack of her head.
The bed was set on fire and he j
ran for assistance, and upon re
turning found considerable damage
dooe by the tire. She was. about
eighteen years of age and senti
ment is somewhat divided as to
the accident. The couple had their
differences and some people are
slow to believe that it was an ac
cident, but the jury exonerated
him, at stated above.
ANNIE ABBOTT IN CHINA.
I
What The wise Men of the East
say of the Georgia Magnet
Mies Annie Abbott, the Georgia
gir , whose prodigious feat* of
strength created such a sensation
in this country a few years ago,
and gave her the name of “The
Electric Magnet,” is now in Chi
na, after having made a tour of
I Japan.
In the latter country the strong
est of the wrestlers were unable to
lift her little body from the floor o»
even push her over, while with the
tips of her fingers she neutralized
their most vigorous efforts to raise
other objects, which, under ordi
nary circumstances, would have
been the merest trifle. When she I
placed her hand upon the arm of
the ehampion wrestler ho was un
able to lift an ordinary cane from
a table
The Japanese scientists, howev
er, repudiated 'he e'ectrical theo
ry which Miss Abbott’s manager
iifually suggests to the newspapers,
aud attributed her remarkable teats
to hypnotic powers, claiming that
• t was the force of her will instead
of the strength of her muscles that
inter!’ red with th a action of these
who are engaged in the experi
ments .
In China she is creating an even
greater sensation, and the native
scholars accuse her of receiving aid i
from super-human agencies. Such
a feeling has been excited among
the literati that, it is feared it may
have an unfortunate effect in st'm
ulating anti-foreign and anti-mis
■ionary prejudices. ChonAan, an
educated Chinaman, writes to a
Shanghai paper, asking:
“Do net such exhibitions, as
viewed by Chinese, fully corrobo
rate what the natives havt alleged
against missionaries possessing un
canny powers, and therefore con
firm them in the belief of theabil
itv of foreign men and women to
stupify children and bring them
under their influence of good or
evil?
The Chinese will certainly con
clude that if foreigners practice
this mystic power to make money
to make money they will dn so for
the far higher object of gaining
converts and saving souls. Natives
who have witnesred Miss Abbott’s
powers will never ne' persuaded to
belie. • that ameng missionaries
there ar? not both men and vrouaea
who possess the same power of
.renderiHg others subject to their
will.”—Chicago Recold.

Montgomery, Ala., March 14.
Belle Bovd, who is frmeus as the

FUN With governors
According to Frank Jones, the
well-knewn sporting man from
Kansas City, it is easy’ to pull off
a big fight if the sporting writers
of the country will only abandon
their practice of having fun with
the Governorsand with other men
in high positions in the different
States.
Mr. Jonas, who is a member of
th? Florida Athletic Club, and who
has attended every big fight in the
last decade, says that the news
paper men who are always blam
ing the pugilists for not coming
together do more to keep them
apart than anyone.
“Take El Paso during the
preparations for the Maher-Fitz
simmons fight,” said Mr. Jones
to a raperter for The Republic.
“The .town was simply flooded
with newspaper men. There were
enough of them to run three Met
ropolitan newspapers, and when
they w.-re not hard at work they
were attempting to do something
to create a laugh. Nearly every
man in the crowd was armed with
a telegraphic frank and they didn’t
do a thing to the Governors of the
Western States
“Whenever the correspondent of
the “New York Bazoo” didn’t
have any work to do he would
telegraph to some Governor and
ask him confidentially if the light
could be brought off in his State,
and would insinuate that his
commonwelth had been selected
as the battleground.
In a few hours the wires around
El Paso would sizzle and sputter,
ansi ihe humorous correspondent
would receive a telegram a yard
long, setting forth the Governor’s
views on everything under the sun,
and prize-fighting in particular.
The message would be shown to
all the members of the newspapt-r
“gang,” and someone would wait
upon Dan Stuart and gravely
announce the fact that the fight
would not come off in Wisconsin,
or some other unthought of place.
“The man wbo was the butt of
the majority of these jokes was
Governor Hughes es Arizona. It is
quite possible I hat no man in
crowd ever thought of going to
the State, but the boys kept the
wires hot with telegrams, and as|a
result overnor Hughes kept tha
State militia patrolling the border
for six weeks, half starved and
nearly frozen at nights when the
wind swept over the prairies,
cutting like a knife.
This was kept up until the last
minute. When the train pulled
out for Langtry sonioue wired to
Hughes; “Look out, for they are
coming ronight. 800 on the first
train and 50U on the second. All
heavily armed ami desperate.
Tu}:y warning.’’'
‘ What the outcome of this was
I cannot say ,but you can be sure'
there was * lot of •xcitemeni in
Arizona. Governor Hughes aud
his militia are probably waiting
for us tc this day.”

THE STORY OF ITALY
Ihe history of United Italy be»
gins 25 years back. Then cord of
events leading to the prut
eut catastrophe begtua etil fur
Cher back in the days when Italy
Fas nothing but “a geographical
expression.” It begin with the
resolution of OiV> von Bismarck
to make Prussia the master of Eu
rope.
The first step wa° the enunci
ation of the policy of “blood and
iron” and the reorganizatou aud
development of the Prussian army
in brief, tbe adoption of mili er
ism as a guvermenta) system. Tbe
Danish war followed, as a matter
of course,and then the Austrian
war, ’he euccess of the letter full
filing the first half of Bismaic<’s
scheme. Then came the war with
France and tbe foundation of tbe
new German Empire.
Even then the second half of the
scheme was not fulfilled, aud it
was evident that it «ould not b<.
saved dy a system ot alliiuce. So
the great Chancellor set to work t
j. in to Germany-nomiually as al
lies, ' but really as servants and
retainers some other Powers, aud
to impose upOu them the sys em
of militarism. He first secured
Amtria anu made her Germa ly’a
bulwark against Russia Then h P
found a kindred spirit lu Franc* >
co Crispi, and through, him drow
Italy in to the trap, to he Germany

Italy was an easy vict m to B) -
marck’s blandishments. Her
statesmen reckoned it would con
solidate the Kingdom, s'imui te
patriotism and strengthen lova ty
to the Piedmont,dynasty for Italy
to be so quickly rankedjamong the
great Powers, Which chiefly means
tu arts of war and Ability for de.
• tructicn. So the unholy pact was
made . Ahuge army was formed and
a huge navy built.
Enormous contracts for military
aud other public works were let
The contractors grew rich, together
with many Government olficers
who had Authority ?n letting con
tracts, wtrle the people w'ere im
poverished. In st j ad of husbanding
resources, promoting domestic
prosperity aud developing industry
commerce, aud useful atts of peace
the Govermeut squandered i‘s mll -
lions upou elf ms'o k«ep pea e
with its German task-m»s er in
preparations for possible war.
The Ural rude warning of im
pending disaster came some ye»rs
ago. it wss i.heii discovered that
the Kingdom wts practly bankrupt
Tbe s'rougPrime Minisiu was,
however, still joined to the idols
the Iron Chancellor had taught him
to worthip. Indeed there wa-, he
thought, no leaving them. If I'alj
retrenched her military aud nava
budget she would fall beljw the
standard required by Germany,
and would oe droped from the
Trippie Alliance. That would be a
blow to her pride aud predig“. It
would aever do. So discontent was
repressed with a stern hand. Elect,
ious were carried for the Govern
ment by any means that seemed
ueedful, right or wrong.
A foreign war wus start-d to
kindle patriotic enthusiasm, aud
the conquest of a vast Colonia
Empire wa» undertaken to make
the people forget the burdens lai i
upon them at home. The scheme
has failed. Thousands of lives aud
millions of money have been was

laud which, if conquered,
would be valueless. The attempt
has eodad in disaster. That is tbe
