Crcston, In., Fob. 2!l. I vonturo tin
Bsortion that every polico magistrate In
tho country who has n spark of human
lty In his breast is firmly convinced that
onr present legnl system of treating
drunkenness is not only entirely inefTec
tunl ns n corrective, but grossly unjust
and uncharitable.
From an uxperionco on tho ioUco court
bench of nearly seven ycnrs-I havo wit
nessed boiuo remarkable phenomena in
tho conduct of men who have been ar
rested ns criminals and arraigned for In
toxication. This observntion and ox
pcrienco has led mo to qulto radicnlly
chnngo tho viowH I formerly held on the
subject of drunkenness mid its proiui
treatment. ...
I onco ontertnincd tho opinion that
drunknesgwas a voluntary; and vicious
habit, and so repulsivo in tho individual
that very Rovero punishments and re
strictive penalties should bo meted out
in strong doses to tho offender. It
Boomed to mo that tho man who, from n
mero wanton desiro to indulge his gross
appotites, deliberately bccniuo drunken
and nn offensivo object to his follows
was not only undeserving of tho much
mistaken sympathy which his neighbors
bestowed upon him, but rather deserved
tho infliction of punishment sovero
enough to forovor deter him from a repe
tition of tho offense
I am not familiar with tho statutes oi
all tho states and tho K)lico ordinances
of tho different cities regarding drunk
enucss, but I presumo they nro much
liko tho Iowa statutes and tho ordinances
of tho Iowa towns. Tho Iowa statute
prescribes a minimum fino of $10 or a
maximum term of imprisonment of !!0
days, at tho discretion of tho court. If
tho court administers tho fino, and tho
offender is unablo to pay and is commit
ted in default of payment, ho is impris
oned threo days, tho stntuto computing
tho valuo of ono day at $i).i)3.
There is ono singular featuro of tho
Iowa statute. It provides that if tho nc
cuscd will turn informer and prosccuto
tho person who sold him tho liquor ille
gally ho can in that manner escapo tho
penalty for his offenso. Although I havo
offered hundreds of men arraigned for
intoxication this opportunity to avoid
tho penalty, in but threo instances have
tho accused filed tho complaints, and
afterward they refused to continuo tho
further prosecution, preferring to tako
tho punishment. I havo noticed another
trait common to all men arraigned for
intoxication. They seldom reproach tho
liquor seller for his instrumentality in
producing their unfortunate condition.
Tho nvcrugo man who conies into tho po
lico court shoulders tho eutiro responsi
bility upon himself.
Thcro aro threo classes of men ar
raigned in tho polico court for intoxica
tion tho periodical spreo men, tho habit
ual drunkards and tho occasional drink
ers. Tho latter almost by accident gets
into tho lockup whilo indulging in a con
vivial bout with associates. This fellow
very seldom appears twico in tho iolico
court. Indeed ho is generally somo well
to do young man, whoso humiliation is
bo complete that ho does not appear in
person, but hands over tho amount of
his fino to tho good natured policeman,
who enters for him a plea of guilty un
der nn assumed name.
Tho man who goes on a periodical
spreo is ono of tho greatest sufferers.
After n long dobauch, in which ho be
comes unruly and ungovcrnnblo, tho po
lico, after exhausting every means to get
him homo, aro compelled to tako him to
tho station. When arraigned in court
tho next morning, ho is physically and
mentally sick, and protests that ho will
reform if tho court will extend clem
ency. Iu many of these cases tho polico
judgo is sorely perplexed to know what
to do, especially on tho first arraignment
of tho offender, when ho is unacquainted
with his character and habits. Tho low
est fino is generally given in this caso,
and tho prisoner admonished thatarepc
tition of tho offenso will result in an in
creased and much more sovero penalty.
It isn't a great whilo before this man
again appears in court, and often his
friends quietly request tho court to ro
strain him by imprisonment for a weok
or two in tho hope that ho will havo urn
plo timo to sober npimd become repent
ant. I can recall soveral cases whero
prisoners themselves havo asked to bo
sent to jnil to protect themselves from
tho indulgenco of their terrible apatites
for liquor, but such cases aro rare. Very
few men will voluntarily go to jail, and
thero nro few men, no matter how do
graded, that do not feel tho disgrnco of
a jail sentence
Tho habitual drunkard has a Romowhat
different oxperienco in tho polico court.
Ho is repeatedly arrested, repeatedly
fined and repeatedly imprisoned.
Thero is not a more pitiful or more re
pulsivo sight than a morning in tho po
lico court, with its grist of "plaiu
drunks," to bo facetiously commented
upon by tho ovening newspapers. Poor
fellows, with bloodshot eyes and aching
heads and throbbing temples, with
parched throats and burning stomachal I
havo seen them drink gallons of water to
quench tho awful thirst, theso brothers of
mine, sick nigh unto death! ,
Somo of theso offenders aro entitled to
llttlo sympathy and deserve bovoto pen
alties. Thoy aro thoso who aro chronic
brawlers and disturbers of tho publio
peace, follows who are- fa 'source- of.trou
blotothe polico ovenlwhen bobor, biff
who become positively devilish under
tho stimulus of alcohol. In theso cases
tho law is not aovoro epough nnd is im
potent to restrain them in their warfare
upon society.
But a largo majority of1 tho uufortu
nates who are arraigned hi polico courts
for drunkenness aro victims of diseaso
rather than criminals, yet tho courts are
compelled to punish theso siok men la
tho samo way as law is meted out to
common thlores, and tho sheriff often
has iu custody koifost but sick men, with
whom ho can deal no better than with
tho worst criminals. What would "be
thought of a' law which would require a
polico magistrate to lino a man for.thi'
offenso of smallpox? And yet it seeuu
as cruel iu somo instances to punish n
victim of alcoholio disease, no matter it
tho victim of alcohol did voluntarily ex
poso himself to the diseaso in tho first iu
Btanco.
' It seems singular that whilo progress
has been made in tho treatment of crim
inala on various lines of criminal reform
and in tho treatment of insanity nnd
other forms of disease, society lias wliol
Iv failed in dtsillng with Inebriety from a
legalatandpoliit. It Is gratifying to ob
Bcrvo that much progress.has been mad
iu reclaiming tho viulims of inebriety
ick to lives of soberness through tin
work of temperance societies and great
hearted temperance evangelists, and by
tho marvelous methods of scientific mod
leal treatment, but thero is still a great
reform which tho state owes to Its un
fortunate citizens who nro tho vlctluw ol
nlcohollo dlseiiso.
Every stntuto nnd polico ordinance
should gjvo magistrates a wide di s'cro
tion iu tho treatment of luobriates who
nro arraigned in tho polico court. They
should bo allowed to distinguish tho un
fortunate but honorable offenders from
tho very vicious nnd incorrigible, Com
fortablo polico Btations should tako the
placo of tho iestilential bastiles which
cities usually provide for tho detention
of prisoners. Uut tho most pressing
need is for detention hospitals, where
tho victims of dipsomania could bo mer
cifully restrained and treated scientific,
ally for tho euro of tho diseaso. Such
institutions nro of moro pressing need
than oven stato prisons or insane hos
pitals, because thero is moro suffering in
tho homes of humanity through inebriety
than is caused by crime and insanity.
Prohibition of tho liquor traffic, iu my
opinion, except in occasional places, has
wholly failed to euro tho nlcohollo dis
easo. TcmiH!rauco agitation has only
mitigated its ovil effects. Tho awful
diseaso of drunkenness, which has cursed
tho world slnco tho days of Noah, seems
destined to abide among men iu greater
or less degree through generations yet to
come. Thero seems no way to tear up
tho ovil plant by tho roots. Humanity
nnd practical statesmanship must work
together to try and mitigate its evils, as
they must work together to light all
forms of diseaso which proy upon the
raco. S. R. Davis.

great choruses will number !J,C0O, being

On tho northeast corner of tho public
square, in tho very center of tho busi
ness section of this beautiful city, a fine
temporary auditorium will bo erected for
tho great festival of song. Tho flooi
space will cover an acre, and tho structure
will lw as beautiful na its temporaiy
character will permit. It will bo 182
feet squaro, with projecting balconies at
tho cornors. Tho walls will bo of staff,
a composition of cement and other ma
terials, of which tho temporary World's
fair buildings at Chicago aro constructed,
nnd will bo tinted to resemblo brown
stone. Tho summit of tho lantern iu the
center will bo 1)5 feet above tho ground.
Tho seating capacity will exceed 8,000,
besides a stago capable of accommodat
ing tho great chomsos. Tho ground hi.
a natural slope, which will givo tho scale
the proper riso without tho uso of artifi
cial means and greatly simplifies the
problem of building. Tho aisles will be
very roomy. Threo largo eptrances will
bo provided aud spacious exits, so that
the largo crowd can bo handled with the
greatest comfort possible during tho sum
mer mouths.

stead of the usual place in front of the
stago a well or pit 'under tho stage is ar
ranged, with a great sounding board to
tho rear of it, and there tho orchestra
will bo hidden. This is tho manner fol
lowed at Bayrouth, tho homo of tho

Abroad, ns wo all know, thero is a system
In forco that would Isa cnlled espionage
were It not directed toward tho young
daughters of tho families highest up Iu tho
social scale, and It Is thus dignified by tho
unuio of chnperonage. It prevails In Ucr
srniKa HATS OF STIIAW.
many, has Its Inflexible power in Russia,
exists under another form In Greece ami
Italy, Is cnlled by adifTerent name Iu Kgypt,
Turkey and Persia, and Is also strictly en
forced In Spain, nnd even in farofT China
nnd Japan, besides In Franco nnd Knghmd.
In tho latter country it Is honored rather
in tho breach than In tho observance, but
in France it is ns unchanged ns ever.
The fashion of having chaperons for our
girls Is to my mind a most reprehensible
ono, nnd one likely to bo abused iu ninny
ways. If ono Is conscientious, she makes
herself heartily detested by tho lrl nho Is
set to guard, and moro than likely is tho
cause of developing deceit mid perhaps fur
ther wrongdoing. What is tho reason our
fashionable mothers cannot havo ns much
confidence in their daughters as tho women
la small towns nnd villages whero chap
erons nro not known f
Wo sco a young girl go off to walk or
rido or row nlouo with a young man, and
who takes note of it or thinks It wrong?
Wo' sco them sit for hours In a parlor with
a gentleman nnd think nothing of It ns
long ns it Is not In n city and tho chief
actors nro not in tho social world. It is no
harm for a young artist, musician or girl
of any class who has to cam her living to
go to theaters, concerts or balls with a
friend, but hecauso a girl has been born
with a glided spoon in her mouth sho must
perforce havo a chaperon nloug to preserve
her reputation.
Tho real fact Is not that girls aro less no
ble or men less honorable, but that foreign
fashions aro obtaining In our own country
which nro humiliating to truo womanhood.
I sco in this fashion a most humiliation
fact, nnd that is that mothers hero all seem
to bo determined to marry their daughters
to foreign noblemen. They fear that those
pure and Immaculate saints from abroad
will misjudge tho Innocent freedom of their
daughters, nnd so they try to npe tho stylo
that prevails In other countries of keeping
a watch upon them "from cradle to altar."
Tho functions of tho chaperon ceaso then.
Wo havo built up our nation with true
hearted girls for our mothers, who could
bo trusted under all circumstances, aud
our daughters nro of the samo stock or else
wo ourselves aro to blame. If n girl cannot
havo tho confidence of her future husband
and her parents without a chaperon, sho
cannot with one, aud who shall trust the
chaperon? If a girl cannot bo trusted
alone iu company or to go out with a male
escort, then she should bo kept at home or
never allowed to go out without her mother
to keep her in order.
Tlio impartial observer must admit that
tho growth of thq chaperon iu this coun
try is a distinct truckling to foreign cus
tom In order to make our girls seem mora
worthy of tho acceptance of somo poverty
stricken and unworthy foreign nobleman.
Nobleman indeed! If thero can bo found
In tho world nobler men than ours, I have
never seen that country on tho map. At
any rate, our noblemen aro not so particu
lar about the mighty dollar as aro tho for
eign noblemen. What a humiliating thing
it ought to bo to parents to turn and delib
erately pay a wornout, dissolute pauper to
marry their pure aud fair young daughters,
whoso beauty and sweetness aro beyond all
price and compare! A man ought to kneel
to kiss tho white little hands nnd think
himself blessed to take the precious gift
with empty palms. Hut do these, noblemen
feel so? Not at all, for they calmly and
deliberately bargain their titles and namoe
against tho dollars and quarrel iu ptty
rago that the price is uot high enough.
VISITING COSTUMES.
I havo traveled much abroad nnd seen
much iu this country. I have heard of
many marriages of this kind and havo
never known one where the poor, fpollsh
bride was uot a victim. If the parents could
ouly see Into the future llfo of their daugh
ter, noglamourof title would blind them to
tho utter unworthluess of any nmn who
makes himself a piece of meichaudLse. He
Is less worthy than tho lowest woman that
ever lived.
Only last summer a sweet llttlo friend of
mine was dazlcd by tho title of countess.
and well, It Ik thoflld story. All her money
Is gone, she Is broken In health and spirit,
and he forgets that she exists.
It makes me sad to think of it, so let us
talk of something lighter aud more plea
nat, and could anything bo more so than
to look at these pure American faces, with
their houest, level outlook under the two
lovely spring hat. Theso aro tho first I
hnv situ this spring In straw. It Is so rerj
fine ihnt It looks satiny. Tho upper ono li
light drab on the upper side nnd rush greet
on tho under. The trimming Isof drab and
green rlhbon Iwws and plumes, nnd vol vol
strings tie beneath tho chin. Tho other li
of black straw lient and tortured lull
strange shapes, but IiccoiuIiik fornll that
and trimmed with a rosette aud handsomi
Jet buckle and novcral plumes, nil black
which has n mark of extreme elegance.
Among other new and henutlfiil garmenti
for the adornment of tho falrsox I noticed
tho costumes worn by two friends who wen
on their way to visit a sick sister. Tin
younger ono wont a hair strlpo cheviot ol
black nnd gray, tho skirt plain except for I
panel of black astrakhan. Tho waist ww
open heart sUnpo over a vest of gray crept
do chine nnd bordered with a standing col
lar of ostrich plume, Tho sleeves were ol
black velvet, nnd there were lapels of black
astrakhan ns.d a sash bow aud ends ol
tnolro rlblKin. Tho little grny felt toqm
was bordered with astrakhan and trlmmoJ
with grny velvet bows. Altogether a very
pretty and ladylike street costume,
Tho other consisted of a slightly I ralnon
skirt of heavy black silk. Tho Russian
cloak was of black bengallnc, with a yoke
of gold passementerlo over black. Down
tho back hung strips of passementerie, nnd
tho whole was bordered wltft rich black
fur. Tho hat was of cream felt and plumes,
with n pluk moss rose In front. Nothing
could bo handsomer than theso two cos
tumes. An yet, In splto of all tho foreboding,
actual hoops havo not appeared, and some
how I hope they will ho diverted Iu their
baleful course, IlkO tho comet that recently
threatened tho earth with almost ns great a
calamity. SHU tho most recent French Im
portations show a widening of tho skirt
around tho bottom at least. Wo can put
up with that when wo tako note that the
bottom of tho waist Is also larger around
than fashion permitted fur a long time,
A very handsome and very Frenchy walk,
lug and visiting gown was of old roso rep
do lyou, one of tho loveliest of tho new
fabrics shown this season. It always conic
in plain colors.
This particular gown was bell shaped ns
to skirt, with a 3-Inch bonier of mink
around tho entire bottom, Tho caps and
ovcrwalst were bordered In a slmllnr fash
Ion. On the ovcrwalst were placed black
velvet bands edged with soutache. A cord
and balls tied in a loop at the right side
gave n novelty to tho whole.
Tho small felt lint combined tho colors In
the gown In nn agreeable way. It will be
observed that instead of puffs thcro are
simple caps to tho sleeves.
Tho parasol Is of plain black surah, the
handle being of sandalwood nnd carved in
tho most elaborate maimer. Speaking of
parasols reminds mo to mention two very
novel ones. One has a black surah foundo'
tlon, nnd over that is puffed black net,
spangled with iridescent tinsel. Tho other
isof white silk covered with puffed wblUT
net, embroidered with small rosebuds dont

Another very stylish walking gown ww
Imported by a largo house and Instantly
sold, as well it might bo, to a young mar
rlod lady whoso wish Is law and tho gospel

concerned. The skirt Is plain double cor

queer but elTcctlvo arrangement of astra

pressed silk. Tho color of the gown is
new shado between biscuit and tan. Th
dainty llttlo bonnet is of pink velvet, with
black astrakhan nnd plumes. Tho glovei

A Cluck Two Cvulurle Old.
Mrs. Catherine Oyler of Kokomo, Ind., it
thu owner of what Is probably tho oldest
wooden clock In the United States. It hat
been Iu thu possession of her family foi
fccvernl generations. Tho clock was lxs
queathed to Mrs. Oylcr by her father, .John
Woodring of I'reblo county, ()., who died n
limit tlmo ago, aged till. Tho clock is of
Knglsh manufacture, of the stylo known
ns the "wall sweeper," made by Heed &
Ward In the year 1711. Tho caso is of Eng
lish black walnut, and all parts of the run
ning gear are constructed of wood. It Is 7
feet tall aud weighs 11.') pounds. It has been
ticking away for I W years without a stop
and has nuver Is-en repaired. Tho wooden
wheels show llttlo or no wear, and it is ap
parently good for another century or more,
ticking away as meriily, truthfully aud
tunefully as it did iu Knghmd nearly two
centuries aim.
A Luxurious Kilter MciUtt-uil.
Some of the East Indian princes have
very sharply defined Idcasas to what consti
tutes luxury, and as mo-t of them have the
means to put their ideas Into practice they
probably get as much pleasure out of llfo
iu anybody can. A I ml made In Paris for
ono of thcoe princes was constructed part
ly of silver, with large femalu figures at
each corner, each holding a delieatu look
ing fan. The weight of the sleeper's Issly
sets certain machinery in motion, which
causes the figures to keep the fans gently

made to give forth soft music as a further
