That is always thecase in matters of this kind, and it nat-urally creates no surprise because It Is sowell known that young ladles who movein the best society invariably carry re-volvers secreted about their tall gownswhen they attend social functions so thatthey may be able to command whateverattention they may desire.

Virions Trlse Fight Decided In Favorof Matty Matthews.

NEW YORK. July 10. Matty Matthews.of Brooklyn, defeated Otto Seiloff, of Chicago, In the ninth round of a vicious fightat the Coney Island Sporting Club to-nig- ht.

Matthews was by far the cleverer and usedboth hands relentlessly on hla opponent'sanatomy. Early la the fight the blood camespurting from the Chicago fighter's nose.Seiloff was not idle, however. He foughtback much more cleverly than Matthewslooked for and rubbed it into the Brooklyn- -ite with seemingly untiring energy. Somecf Seiloff's body blows raised welts cn Mat- -

thews's body and up to the end of the sixthround the Western man held his own. Inthe seventh and eighth he was overpoweredwith the Brooklyn boxer's onslaughts. Seiloffcame up for tho ninth round in a very weaK- -entd conlition and Matty went for him inelambang fashion. There was nothing to 11

after a couple of mix-up- s and althoughSeiloff stood up gamely he was almost putout with a left upptrcut which Mattyplanted under the chin. Seiloff staggeredhelpless and Matthews dropped h's handsas he said to George Edwards, the referee:"I don t want to hit him any more." to-wards took the hint and stopped the boutright there by ordering the men to theircorners and declaring Matthews the winner.Time of last round, 1:31.

Frank Patterson, of Brooklyn, and SollySmith, of Los Angeles, fought a twenty- -nve-roun- d draw at 122 pounds. The menfought savagely but were strong at thefinish. Patterson was frequently cautionedfor hitting low and was disqualified in thetwenty-thir- d round for repeating the of-fense, but Smith begged the referee to letthe bout go on and so lost a favorable- - de-cision. The attendance was 6,000. v

SPRINGS ANOTHER SENSATION

Mrs. Yda Addis Storke Claims to liethe "Wife of Lawyer Jackson.

SANTA BARBARA, Cal., July lO.-- Mrs.

Storke, the writer, was to-da- y sentenced toone year ln Jail for writing anonymous let-ters reflecting upon certain prominent people of this city.. A motion for a new trialwas denied. She waa rearrested later in theday on a warrant sworn out by AttorneyJackson, who charges that she tried to killhim yesterday.

Mrs. Storke. or Jackson.In an interview said she expected to shutout Jackson's testimony, as a husband couldnot testify against his wife.

MISS ADA IlEIIAX.She May Undertake the Management

of Daly's Theater.Philadelphia Press.

If Ada Rehan takes up the work of managing Daly's she will rind that she has animmense undertaking on her hands, for Mr.Daly was all things to all people ln his em-ploy. He personally placed the furnitureon the stage for his new productions, andevery article in stage use was bought byhimself. He either wrote his own plays oradapted them, and he taught his companyhow they should be played.

He was the originator of many noveltiesnow seen upon the stage, such as doors thatopen and shut, real 'stairs, actual food andthe finest of fittings. Miss Rehan Is saidto be the first woman who ever wore a JoOOdress upon the stage. Previous to that timethe stage heroine wore a gown of papermuslin, trusting to distance to lend en-chantment.

At Mr. Daly's suggestion Miss Rehanwrought an innovation which is now uni-versal. Ada Rehan is one of the few stagewomen who have never married, nor hasshe had a pronounced romance. Her wholelife is on the stage, and for years therewas not a woman in New York outside ofher own household who boasted her ac-quaintance. She never gave as much as a5 o'clock tea nor has she ever been knownto attend a ball.

For twenty years Miss Rehan has goneout in the street daily on foot to take herexercise, but during all that time she hasnever mingled with the gay world nor hasshe frequented the fashionable promenade.

It was said that Mr. Daly made the rulethat no member of his company should walkBroadway: certainly Miss Kehan has nevertransgressed the rule.

The dress of this woman who is gownedso magnificently on the stage is perfectlyplain on the street. It is only a short timeago that the writer came down in theSixth-avenu- e elevated train ln New Yorkseated opposite her. Miss Rehan wore ablack serge skirt and gray cloth shirt waistand a little open fly Jacket. Her hat wasblack, trimmed with a few irregular feath-ers, and her hands were Incased in yel-low gloves that were not new. No onecould Imagine her to be the Katherine of"Taming of the Shrew" nor Lady Teasle of"School for Scandal."

In the theater .41ss Rehan is adored notonly by the audience but by the company.She is so sweet and gracious to everybody,so generous as to faults, so kind to thesick, so lenient and so good tempered thatit would be a quarrelsome actress who couldnot get along with her.

It is an open secret that Mr. Daly adoredher for years, and that Mrs. Daly consid-ers her the truest and best friend she civerhad.

D. B. Eddy, of Leavenworth. Kan., memberof the Yale Band, was introduced to speakof "The Great Resources of Missions." MrEddy spoke of the means, mechanical, inventive, political and social, through whichGod had given assurances that the worldIs to be won for Christ. The responsibilitiescf Christians in carrying out God s revealedplans, he said, are heavy, and they mustgo forward. "Pray and work, ne saia."lest our enthusiasm roll back upon our-selves. We are playing with the world andletting motives of avarice and self-righteousn-

be uppermost. Pray, pray alwaysfor guidance." The closing feature In TentEndeavor was an address by Dr. Robert E.Speer. New York, on "The Great Blessingof Missions."

In Tent Wllllston. as prosposed by Rev. Dr.Hill, of Massachusetts, was tho Greek prov-

erb, "They bcareth torches, and pass themon from hand to hand Home missionariesfrom Western States and Territories werepresented. Rev. Dr. W. W. Boyd, of St.Loujs, delivered an address on "Our Country's Many Problems." "There are two sidesto this race problem,", said Dr. Bgyd"There is not a white man In the Northwho, if his wife or daughter were outragedby a beast, would not rush summarily tovengeance. But that does not excuse, thoughit may palliate, the diabolical crime oflynching, and the hour is at hand when decislve steps must be taken to abolish itChristianity must settle this question; legislation cannot do It."

Rev. Charles E. Jefferson, of New York,spoke on "Our Country's One Salvation." Hesaid: "We are living in the greatest of cen-turies. Now that it seems that God meansus to be a leader of nations and races, itlooks as if the Republic could not go down.But Greece fell. Rome fell. The present isno guarantee of the future. What this Na-tion needs is more manhood, the manhood ofthe carpenter of Nazareth. God give uamanly men, men whom the spoils of poli-tics will rot buy, men who will not be ruledby selshness.

"What are we going to do with the liquortraffic? It is not new legislation we want,but a great outpouring of the spirit thatwill crush the liquor traffic. What shallwe do with the great corporations that de-vour the small ones? Law is not enough.What we need is love. What shall we 00with militarism, one of the blackest demonsthat ever came out of the pit? They rresick of militarism across the eea,. but thereare men and women in America to whomthe song of battle Is sweet. Militarism isinsanity. We can't beat it down with argu-ment. Read the life of the man who rodenot on a horse, for it represented war buton the animal that stood for Industry andpatience. The Prince of Peace told us toturn our swords into plowshares. Whatshall we do with skepticism? We are sur-rounded by theosophy. esoteric Buddhism,MormonLsm and other strange teachings.Let us go to Him who represents truth it-self. We have law enough. Intellect enougn

no nation ever had uiore but what weneed is a higher, diviner, sweet manhood.America's salvation is love and obedience tothe man who died on Calvary."

JUNIORS HAVE THEIR INNING.This afternoon tho Juniors had their In-

nings, both in the audience and on the. plat-form. The Junior rally was carried out inTent Endeavor, the Detroit children whotook tho leading parts being massed on thoplatform to the number of a thousand andupwards. The floor wa3 filled with childrenand their teachers and leaders. Tho pro-gramme started with singing of "The Ban-ner of the Cross" with right heartiness.Other songs followed, the children on thestage alternating with those on' the floor,and then altogether. The visitors were ap-propriately welcomed by Miss ElizabethAustin, superintendent of the DetroitJuniors' Union.

"World-wid- e Christian Endeavor" was il-

lustrated in a spectacular manner. Childrenwearing placards and others carrying ban-ners, and other pictorial devices were suc-cessively brought upon the speakers' plat-form to show. ;lrst. the beginning of Ciirls-tla- n

Endeavor in Portland, Me., its spreadin the United States and Canada, and itssubsequent remarkable growth in the vari-ous countries of the world. A huge map ofthe world had been suspended at one side,and as each country was reported for. a boyat work on a staging marked off that partof the world by fastening a star over it un-til finally the world seemed fairly plasteredover with Christian Endeavor. Each bevy ofJuniors recited something in explanation oftheir part of the picture, which was graphi-cally executed. The xerclse closed bv rais-ing together the British and American flags,flanked by the flags of ail nations and sa-luted by the appropriate bugle call. Rev.Dr. Floyd W. Tompkins, of Philadelphia,addressed the children happily upon "WhatChristian Endeavor Means to Boys andGirls."

The First , Presbyterian Church waspacked this afternoon with Endeavorers listening to addresses on the subject of Chris-tian Endeavor. Frederick A.

The meeting concludedwith an Interesting conference on practicalmethods of prison work, conducted byTreasurer Washaw, of Boston.

Charles Graham.NEW YORK. July 10. Charles Graham.

the ballad writer, is dead in Bellevue Hospital. In spite of the great popularity of hisscngs he is said to have died penniless.

Charles Graham was born in Boston, England, in 1S63, and came to this country whena young man. He inherited his musicalgenius from his father, who was a musicianand composer. He wrote a great manyscngs that won popular favor, but was per-sistently unfortunate in his efforts to raisemcney from their sale. In spite of all hecould do. the publishers contrived to securethe financial benefit, while he was obligedto remain content with nothing rnore sub-stantial than glory. One of his most popularcompositions was "The Picture That IsTurned Towards th Wall." From the salecf that song Mr. Graham made, in smallamounts at a time, about $500 altogether Inroyalties. Ills publishers made from thatsong $25,000. For the sale of the copyright to"Two Little Girls in Blue." Mr. Grahamwas very glad to accept the $10 profferedby the publishers. Alter the song hadproved an Immense success and the publish-ers had realized many thousands of dollarsfrcm their risky undertaking, they gener-ously handed over to the composer an addi-tional $500. When a child Graham learned toplay a little on the piano, and at the age often years began to com ose. His first songfor publication was composed In 1884, whenhe wrote "Don't Forget You. Lassie." Thiswas followed by "If the Waters CouldSpeak as They Flow." His greatest successhas been "The Picture That Is TurnedTowards the Wall," which easily lends itselfto parody. Another song was "What LittleGirls Should Do."

THE I X TE It XATI O XAL COUNCIL.

Some of tlie American and FrenchDelegates "Smart" in Their Dress.

London Letter in New York Post.The International Congress of Women is

holding at thl3 moment in London its elev-enth annual meeting. This institution ispurely of American origin and, although theCountess of Aberdeen acts as president,American ladies were very much to the foreamong the thousand odd delegates who as-sembled on Monday ln the large hall of theChurch-hous- e from all parts of the world,China not excluded. Indeed, Mme. Shen, thediminutive but gorgeously appareled Chi-nese delegate, made her mark at the open-ing ceremony by a speech delivered in Chi-nese and Interpreted into English. "The po-sition of women In my country is influencednot by law, but by that Innate shrewdnesswith which the sex ln all lands is endowedin no small degree," said Mme. Shen, witha smile and a nod, indicating that she wasno stranger to the secret how to rule men,so successfully pursued by the far-fam- ed

Empress dowager of China. The sentiment,however, conveyed more the old than thenew view of the question, and, moreover. Itcut both ways. If woman has of nature thatpotent gift, why demand greater power?Mme. Shen Is young, and possibly passes asbeautiful among the Celestials. But the vastmajority of the assembly which she ad-dressed was remarkable for their venerableand business-lik- e appearance, their hoarylocks, and their manifest disregard of, notto say ostentatious contempt for, the art ofthe modiste and other euch graces of wom-anhood.

An exception should be registered in thecase of some of the French and Americandelegates. Most of the American ladies aredecidedly "smart,' besides being eloquent.Their French colleagues, however, seem tocling to the traditional persuasion of theFrench that no other language than theirown should properly be employed ln interna-tional gatherings. They evince a decided dif-fidence, if not a disinclination, to communi-cate ln English, in which language the manydelegates from every part of the world showa remarkable proticiency. The venerableMiss Susan B. Anthony, president of theAmerican Suffrage Association, made amost eloquent speech, giving a practicaldefinition of the alms of the conferencethe raison d'etre of which appears to many,it must be confessed, rather vague, if notvisionary. "We want (she said) to makewomen realize the power of organized work,and to give them the means of influenc-ing and controlling affairs. There neverwas un anti-ma- n crusade in the womanmovement." And after this reassuring state-ment she added charitably, "We do not de-spair of man." This, however, was beforethe vote of the Ix)rds became known amongthe members of the congress: unless, in-deed, the men in question are only theCommons. The congress has also recordedIts hearty support and adhesion to the prin-ciple of International arbitration.

Governor Stone laughed at a report thathe had come to New York to see AugustinVan Wyck and other prominent New orkDemocrats and make preparations for themeeting of the national committee in Chi-cago July 20. "I came here yesterday after-noon," he said, "and I have not seen anyDemocrat except one newspaper man.

The Tammany leaders are net showingmuch interest in the coming meeting of theDemocratic national committee. They willhave a representative at Chicago on July 20

to report on the work of the committee, butno prominent members of the organizationare expected to make the trip.

DIE OF IIIWGER AND FOISOX.

Death of the Poet and the GoldenWasp Gives Purls nn Epigram.

Paris Cablegram to Chicago Tribune.As in 1799 Paris has ln the hospital a poet

dead of hunger and in a little palaceerraeeful X'ouncr woman dead of noison. Butwhite curtains are at the windows of the f

Larabolstiere house that were lacking inthe time of Gilbert, and grief of love wasnot Henrlette Mercin's ill. She was "thegolden wasp" to the familiars of playhouseand race course, who saw her thin waist,tightened in a golden colored gown, atevery first performance, at every event ofLongchamps and Auteull that fashionableParis attended. Barons of tho lands ofKing Midas gave her the white stone houseIn a garden, the horses, the necklace ofpearls, the rings that she leaves to pro-vincial relatives. She was weary of luxury.She was young. Figures like hers in Parisare not made to endure the outrages of oldage. They can only pass like mysteriousapparitions.

The poet dead of hunger George Brandlm-bour- g

disdained sincerely the gifts of for-tune. He liked glory, but wanted it to bediscreet and almost hidden. He formed, withJules Jony, Tlnchant, Prive and othersa group of ardent ldolators of letters who,ln a Bohemian coffee house of Mont Par-nass- e,

chiseled verses like Amphora's. Hewrote on cigarette papers songs, odes andsonnets that were never printed. They werecirculated like rhapsodies of the Iliad. Oneof them was a parody of romance in gen-eral, of that false and absurd literaturewherein beings perfectly classed as mam-malia make believe that they are birds orflowers. The song was aimed againstBrunetlere, who had violently attackedBaudelaire In the Revue des Deux Mondes.and it Imagined the mad hypothesis ofBrunetlere turned Into a flower.

The song was much more successful thanthe poet wished. In a few days all Parisknew it by heart. One evening at themasked ball of the Opera Brunetlere ap-peared. At once the grand gallop that Her-cules could not have stopped was Inter-rupted for an instant. A thousand pairs ofeyes fixed themselves on the critic of theRevue de3 Deux Mondes, and harlequins,pantaloons, columbines hurled at him withterrify unison the words of Brandimbourg'ssong. Brandlmbourgh accepted this incidentas a proof that sometimes the best way toreply to a charge is not to reply at all. Hesaid: "On certain occasions one may cutwith the success of Alcibiades not only thetall of one's dog. but the talis of the dogsof others." And thus was betrayed Brandlm- -bourg's hope that no work of his mindwould ever obtain popularity. He had nota penny. He wore clothes that had cost $2.He was thirty-tw- o years of age, and hehad the philosophy of the bard of Kyme,who was an octogenarian. But GeorgeBrandimbourg's poverty was gilt with raysof sunlight. Don't pity him. He was happy.

Between the poet and the Golden Waspthere was no association until death cameto one from hunger, to the other from lux-ury. Then all Paris spoke of them ln thesome sentence. For there was contrast andthere was similarity. The two deaths makean epigram and Parl3 lorves epigrams.

A Doubtful Claim.Philadelphia Record.

The cable brings the report that a Lon-don physician has not only proved cancerto be not of germ origin, but has also sat-isfied the Pathological Society of that citythat his claim is valid. Until the LondonLancet shall reach these shores with moredefinite particulars not overmuch credit canbe accorded this rumor. The physician inquestion is said to have demonstrated thatcancer is caused by injury to the basementmembrane of membranous and allied struc-tures. It is further asserted that he hascaused carcinoma in animals by inflictingsuch injury. Such injury might, however,have merely superinduced carcinoma wherethe pathological conditions were conduciveto the disease. The etiology of cancer Isso little understood that even a false claimwhich provokes fresh study of the real nature of the disease is ln a certain respecthelpful.

A MONSTER DEVIL FISH.

An Octopus Fourteen Feet long, Re-

cently Captured In Puffet Sound.

Tacoma Letter in the St. Loula Globe-Democr- at.

The largest devil fish caught in manyyears in Puget sound was captured thisweek by rock cod fishermen at the nar-rows, near Tacoma. The monster measuresfourteen feet from tip to tip, having eightarms over six feet long and a body twofeet In diameter. The rock cod are caughtin water at least 3X feet deep, and it is indepths like this that the octopus, or green-eye- d

monster, known as the devil fish, isusually found. Rock cod fishermen use setlines, to which are attached several hun-

dred hooks, fastened three inches apart andb.ted with herring. The devil fish sometimes attach themselves to the bait, or thecod or salmon caught on the hooks. If thedevil fish is above the bottom, or if thebottom be sandy or gravely, he can beraised to the surface when the hooks arepulled up. If the bottom is rocky, Mr.Devil Fish simply fastens hirrself to therocks, and allows himself to be cut to piecesby the hooks before he will release histentacles from the rocks and come up. Itfrequently happens that they are torn apartln thIs manner- - When tne fishermen raiseone to the surface great care must De tajcenthat he does not grab the bottomof the boat, in which event hemight overturn a small boat, or.to get rid of him. the boat mustbe taken ashore and overturned. The suckers of the devil fish are then released fromthe boat by the dexterous use of a largespade, which is shoved beneath them. Tnesuckers and tentacles are fastened so tightly to the boat as to form a vacuum, andtheir release is attended by loud reportslike those of a rifle. This is the mannerin which the fishermen released the octopus recently caught. The wonderful sucking power of the devil fish Is better under- -

Stood when it is realized that each of theeieht tentacles or arms is covered withthree hundred or more suckers, ranging lnsize from three inches in diameter nearthe mouth to the size of a lead pencil pointnear the ends. Once caught in the power-ful grasp of one of these tentacles, nothing, whether it be fish or human being, isever released, unless the tentacles themselves be cut in two and the octopusslashed to pieces. Even four or five of theeight arms can be cut off and the monsterwill still live and thrive. Two summers agoan old gentleman and his two daughterswere out boating on the narrows when anugly devil fish attacked the boat and attempted to overturn it. He was vigorouslypounded with the oars, which seemed to increase his fury. He threw two of his armsinto the boat, and was winding one of themaround the foot of one of the young ladleswhen she withdrew it just ln the nick oftime.

Had the monster caught her she wouldhave been pulled out of the boat ln a Jiffy.A number of years ago a squaw was killedby a devil fish near one of the lower soundIndian reservation She was out bathingand was caught by a devil fish which hadseveral of his arms securely fastened toseme large rocks. With the others hecaught the unsuspecting squaw. The tidecame ln while she was struggling for lifeand she was drowned. Two days later herbody was found, still in the clutches of theoctopus. Had she possessed a knife shecould have slashed it to pieces and escaped.

The devil fish is of a light pink flesh colorand has two bright green eyes. Its body isshaped like a spider, the eight tentaclesradiating out from the head. The mouthis on the under side, exactly in the ce'nterof the radiating arms. Inside the mouth Isa beak, or bill, shaped exactly like a parrot's. Everything caught by the tentaclesIs carried to the mouth. Just as the elephantperiorms tne same act with hia trunk. Tnestomach contains a crude digestive apparatus. The octopus has neither flesh, bloodnor bone, but seems to be composed ofgristle. The eyea and small head are located on the opposite side from the mouth.The only use to which the octopus has beenput so iar is to make food for the PugetSound Indians. The Siwashes take off theoutside skin and boil the remaining mass01 grisue into a aeieciaoie stew.

The arch enemies of the octopus are thedog fish and shark. Ills only means of de-fense is the black fluid or ink which heemits when attacked or in danger. Thisnuid discolors the water all around and enables him to escape. Three droDs of thisfluid will Impart inky blackness to a largepau or water, a nrty-poun- d devil fish cauchtseveral years ago had a quart of this fluid inthe ink sack located near its intestines. Thebig devil fih under notice weighed ninetypounds and had nearly two quarts of thefluid. As found in the ink sack the fluidis much thicker than when thrown out. Ithas been learned that the octopus dilutesit by passing it through a second sack beforethrowing it out to blacken the water andblind Its enemies. No fish will remain lntnis DiacKened water for an Instant.

was largely attended. Missions was thetopic in both the great tents at the morn-ing meetings foreign missions in Tent En-deavor; home missions In Tent "Wlllistoa.In the former meeting the foreign mission-aries present were introduced to the greataudience by "Father Endeavorer" Clark.The first address was by Rev. Dr. A. Mc-Lean, of Cincinnati. His topic was "TheGreat Need of Missions." He said in part:

"There Is scarcely anything in the non-chrtstl- an

xaitns tnat makes righteousnesscr social well-bein- g. They nave beenweighed in the balances and have beenfound wanting. Atnca is . den of desola-tion, misery and crime. The leading de-

lects of the Japanese character are lyingand licentiousness, in China every man isfor himself. There is no national strengthand no progress. In India the bulk of thepopulation nc down hungry every nignt Inthe year. Hinduism has tilled tne capitalsof India with the most rotten superstitionsto be tound in th3 world. The evils of Mo-hammedanism are polygamy, divorce, vio-lence, slavery and sensuality. Tho govern-ment of the Sultan is oppressive and cor-rupt. Where the gospel has "not gonewoman is degraded wltn an inrtnite degra-dation. Her intellect is dwarfed; the worstpassions of the soul are developed. In thenonchristlan world there is no incentive toIndustry and economy. Uad government,uuperstltlon and Ignorance prevent pros-perity. There is small regard for humanbeing. Human sacrifices are frequentlyoffered. In these land3 sin is enthroned,deified and worshiped. Crime and shameand sorrow are everywhere. The people arewithout . hepe because they are withoutGod. The whole continent of Asia is thescene of barbarities, tortures, cruel punish-ments, oppression and official corruption.These nations need the engineer, the socialeconomist, the humanitarian, the moralist,but more than all do they need the evan-gelist. The acceptance of Christ as Saviorand Lord makes all things new. Under Hisbeneficent reign the nations rejoice In lib-erty and Justice and progress. There is sal-vation in Christ, and there Is salvation innone other, lor there Is none other namegiven under heaven among men wherebywe must be saved."

THE SALOON CONDEMNED.One of the principal addresses In Tent

Villlston was by Rev. C. N. Howard, ofRochester, N. Y., entitled '"Our Country'sGreatest Peril." He said:

"The American people are face to facewith a mighty problem. It is not whatchall be done with Cuba or the Philippines,but how shall we restore to the people theright of self-governme- nt in the UnitedStates. It would seem that democracy hasgiven place to rumociacy. The Americanpeople nave abdicated the throne of govern-ment to the saloon. Red-hand- ed anarchytplts upon our laws, Insults our flag, robsour houses, curse our motherhood anddamns our children, while we are pouringout the Nation's treasure and offering oursons to the god of war to shoot the Decl-

aration of Independence into the hearts ofthe insurgents at Manila.

"The Immoral condition of our greatcities Is a blot on our civilization. Thesaloon runs the caucus, names the candi-date, robs the public and spits on the law.The saloon is the Nation's greatest foe, be-cause it murders its citizens in cold blood;' because it destroys the character of Its clti-zen- sv

the units upon which the nationalstructure rests; because it fosters ignor-ance, immorality and crime, which sap thevitals of the Nation and mean death to ademocracy founded on the virtue and in-telligence of Its subjects: because it defiles

.the ballot, intrenches the boss, defies thelaw and impoverishes the people. It is acrime against the state, a crime againsthumanity, a crime against God. It hasopened dens of anarchy; schooled our youngmanhood to a life of sensual indulgence,personal impurity and profanity; sickenedihe public conscience with its dally horri-ble detail of debauchery, deviltry and crime;blocked the wheels of every righteous re-form: paralyzed industry; crucified labor,defeated the church, outraged the heathenand blasphemed the Almighty.

,.-"Th- e biggest farce outside of perdition arethe laws on the statute books of Americathat were passed to regulate the saloon.The license laws of America are the biggesthumbug that language ever framed into law.Under them, a mother's boy Is not safe un- -
