Mrs. Yancy, or .whatever her name may be, is not an American. She came to New York early in the spring of 1889. At that time she was ac companied by a, diminutive Mon golian attendant* connected to whom by a short gold chain was a demure pelican. As neither pelicans nor Mongolians are down on the tariff list they were allowed to pass. Since that time the interesting woman and bird, Zip, have been frequent passengers between Europe and New York on various steamers, and it is alleged that between them about a million dollars' worth of dia monds have been imported without duty. It is strange that while the woman was always suspected, the pel ican has never been. This is attributed to the fact that the bird wore as demure a look as the boy in whose custody it was. Last Friday, just before the French steamer landed, the bird was taken by the boy into the mistress' stateroom. When he was landed he was led from the steamer looking as if he had been attacked by a virulent form of mumps. But it was overlooked by the cus toms officers. The three were no ticed to bundle into carriages at the dock, and it is supposed that while on the way up town the bird was relieved of its mumps. The mumps consisted of 830,000 worth of bright, sparkling diamonds. Th diamonds should have been delivered a firm in Maiden lane, to be shipped to the other "free trade" firm of diamond merchants in Chicago. Instead, however, Mrs. Yancy, with a dozen other attractive widow names, went somewhere on her own account. All trace of her has been lost, and within twelve hours of -ier arrival the police of half a hun dred cities were notified to look out for her. The two diamond importing firms are in a sorry predicament. They are abus ing themselves for having been so adroitly swindled, and are trembling for the consequences of their expose. In order to save 830,000 tbey have left themselves liable to prosecution and the imposition of fines which may cost them far more than the loss of the parcel of sparklers. According to the terms of the contract between the two firms it is said the Chicago house ad vanced 810,000 on the diamonds, agree ing to pay the other 820,000 on their de livery. But the Maiden lane house can't deliver until it finds Mrs. Yancy. SLAIN BY HER COUSIN. Brave Georsla Girl Shot Dead While Defending Her Father from an Attack toy Four Cowards. MACON, Ga., Oct. 10.—Miss Lizzie Gossot, 17 years old, was killed Thurs day night by her four male cousins while in defense Qf her father's life. She was engaged to marry one of the young men who aided in murdering her. The tragedy occurred near Unionville. J, C. Gossot, the father of the murdered girl, is a planter. On an adjoining farm lives his brother-in-law, Edward Thomas, who has four sons. Mr. Gos sot has had trouble for some time with the Thomas boys. Thursday night they rode over to Mr. Gossot's place with the announced purpose of whip ping him. Miss Lizzie, who had been out horseback riding, came up, and seeing the four men beating her father, she sprang from her horse and grasping one of them threw him upon his back. The flash of several pistols followed, and the girl fell, with the exclamation: "O, Cousin David." It was the. bullet, of her cousin David which pierced her heart.

A rush was made for the Harney street door of the jail. "We will get in here," shouted a leader who sudden*, ly appeared. "Stop!" said Capt. Cormaok who pre ^%en|ed|| &fo&^r "What ao you ^ant?"

Persuasively the little round hole in the bawp, backed jby a true officer's iron ?. nerve did th^ ,/tvo^c'' and the crowd abandoned the Har ney street door. Then sledges were brought and the east door was assailed. This was built of strong steel lattice. Once inside four more steel lattice doors must be broken through. This Is^u^ngly iippehet&f ble wall stotxl liitpei^the crowd ^Of angry men who having tasted blood thirsted for more. Solid blows rang on the doors. It was useless. "No sledge would tell against that door. About a block away was-the power house of the cable Street railway com pany. Near it were huge piles of rails and' long,* heavy bars of 'ste&K' "In* a' minute some of these were borne by sturdy hands up the hill. While this was being done the telephone wires had been cut and there was no com munication with the jail. The steel rail clanged against the steel door. The latter yielded slightly. A mighty yell went up from the maddened men, and again and again the battering ram was hurled against the door. Steel cannot stand everything, and in five minutes the door was open. Then there was a short parley and the second door was assailed. While all this was going on Omaha's police force of ninety men was gathered, but concentra tion was impossible. The officers were lost in the crowd. Some one suggested that the fire de partment be called out and the hose turned on. But it was not that kind of a mob. The firemen came and laid their hose, and the crowd simply car ried away the lines and drove the fire men away. It did not take the crowd long after the second door was passed to effect an entrance to the huge steel cage in which the cells are located. There, wrapped in a blanket, cohered the trembling wretch for whom the lynchers sought In the meantime the police, under Chief Seavy, undertook to mass at the jail entrance. The crowd surged up, picked up the police and carried them to the edge of the yard. There they staid. Then the work went on. Inside the cage the negro begged and pleaded. He prayed and cried and rolled on the floor in terror. His shrieks for mercy were answered with blows that brought his executioners nearer. At this time the door was open. Then with one last yell of terror the negro was seized by the hands of men eager for his blood and thrust through the corridor. Here men to identify him were called for. It was deter mined to make no mistake. So on pressed those who knew him and his doom was sealed. A lamb would have fared better amidst a pack of, wolves. Coe was not torn limb from limb, but he got a thousand curses and a blow for every curse. There is a driveway 50 yards long leading from the jail to the intersec tion of Seventeenth and Harney streets. This )B payed with gi anite. .Over this rough road the' wretch was dragged by his ruthless captors. After he reached the door he did not speak: a Word, and in all probability was unconscious. By the time, the street was reached he was dead. It mattered not that life was extinct A rope was thrown over a trolley wire of the electric line. It had served to drag the doomed man ,from his ctll. Then a. hundred hands pulled and a hundred men surged back, and high above the street directly in front of Boyd's theater swung the life less Corpse of Omaha's fiend. Last Wednesday afternoon young Coe went to the house of Mr. Yates oni an errand and, the mother supposed, went away but instead he returned, and picking up the little girl, who was playing in the yard, carried her to a barn a short distance away and accom plished his -purpose.

Fatal against How shall we account, for the fact that the alcohol habit still contrives to secure the advantage of legislative pro tection by means which would have no chance of success in behalf of other vices? if The only logical explanation can be found in the circumstance that those vices have been generally recognized as unqualified evils, while a larger pro portion of our fellowmen still labor under the fatal delusion of the belief that within certain limits, a taste for intoxicating beverages can be indulged with impunity. They persist in calm ing their own misgivings with the be lief in the harmlessness of moderate drinking, and of the "milder stimu lants," and confess the evils of intem perance only in the sense of the admis sion that all excess is injurious. "The fact that stimulants can be swallowed in health-endangering over-dosss," they argue, "'does not justify the plan to lessen that danger by anti-liquor laws. We might as well prohibit the sale of meat and sugar, because a sur feit of meat pies and pastry may result in dyspepsia. Be temperate in all things, and defend the palladium of personal liberty." And too many of our brethren en courage those delusions by still ascrib ing intemperance to the "temptations of unrestrained appetite," and the "passions of un regenerate The dread of chronic alcoholism may deter many young men from the per ilous first steps on the road to ruin, and We must toy to make "moderate" tippling as odious as "moderate" theit, md "moderate" polygamy.

How shall we explain the fact that the power of public opinion has proved so much more effective in the struggle the spread of the gambling vice and the social evil than in the crusade against the curse of the alcohol habit? The explanation can certainly not be found in the lack of persistent effort Without the tenth part of the energy and the moral enthusiasm devoted to the promotion of temperance, gam bling, lotteries and the traffic in ob scene literature have been reduced to a practical minimum. Gaming, in its worst forms, enjoyed for generations the protection of civilized governments in Europe and America, the interests of the gambler were protected by the inveteracy of the vice and the lavish expenditure of money bribes, and yet we see that in less than a quarter of a century the public gambling hells of Christendom have been reduced to a den maintaining a precarious exist ence in a small principality of the Ital ian peninsula. The sovereign of that principality derives by far the larger part of his revenues from the direct and indirect tax on the privilege of the hazard tables, and is known as a man entirely unincumbered with moral prejudices, yet the ostracism of public opinion has forced him to become an exile, not only from his hereditary do minions, but from the batter social circles of his adopted land. Fifty years ago the roulette dens of the Rhenish watering places en riched the public revenues with a yearly contribution aggregating 240,000,000 marks, of nearly $50,000,000 yet the constant increase of financial difficulties has failed to encourage even the modi fied reestablishment of those profitable institutions. In spite of enormous bribes the managers of the Louisiana state lottery failed to hold their own against the rising tide of public indig nation. The obscene literature evil has no chance of survival outside of the hope common to other forms of recog nized crime—the refuge of obscurity. Imagine the result of an attempt to override the veto of public opinion by an organized "league of American pub lishers of indecent periodicals," or a "mutual aid society of faro dealers and three card monte men," with or with out a subsidized press and a trained staff of lobby steerers! eobol dupes while we ignore the moyn- Bky-maled, related.canU's holiest daogater!

TRUTHS ABOUT DRINK. A Few Word* of A.lvice to the Y«aif Men Entering College. Students who are entering college sSouid reflect seriously upon the ques tion of wine drinking. They will often be invited and expected to drink wine, and they will occasionally sec their elders drinking it at college festivals. They are likely to. hear those who drink speak disparagingly of those who decline drinking and they will real descriptions of banquets in which wine li represented as figuring honorably. For many other reasons it would be well for students to come to a clear understanding with themselves upon the matter, and mu'ce up their rain Is what is the proper, thing for them to do when they are aikad to drink. No one Ukes to be thought a milksop. But even that can be borne.* and easily borne, if the accuse^ person knows he is right ani knows why he is righ4.Cl »ar and certain knowledge is a wonderful h^p at the moment of temptation, though it is not always sufficient To get light upon this subject it is not necessary to g.i into a library and pore over a heap of books. A healthy young man who drinks wine or any such fluid need not le long in doubt whether he has tak ?n into his system a friend or a foe. Ile^annot help knowing, if he observes lRjhs^lf close ly, that the wine is an enemy, lie per ceives that it increases, not quenches, thirst that it raises his spirits for lia.1 an hour cr more, according t.o the amount uset1' and 'depresses "them for several hours that follow: that it flushes, excites, disturbs, perverts, and therefore injures him. If he conscien tiously watches its effects, he knmr* this, and all the sophistry of all the sophists cannot disguise the fact from him. He knows it as well as Syr.nev Smith knew it when he wrote to Lady Holland that without abstaining from wine, "London was stupefaction and inflammation." Nothing has been more certainly demonstrated than that the use of al coholic drinks by young persons in our keen, exciting climate is a mistake, and is to no class so injurious as to students. To them, more then to any other class, wine increases the difficulty of every duty anl adds alluring fore to every vice. This is not preachinsr it is simple fact and known to be such by all honest investigators. Students need the best food that civilization can sup ply and that food should be eaten in the best manner known to civilized life. But when it comes Co intoxicat ing drinks, there is only one safe and wise rule, which is expressed ia ons word: Abstain.—Youth's Companion. FACTS ABOUT DRINK. Some of the Chemicals Used In Their STanafaptnre. Gin is a colorless neutral spirit, orig inally produced from grain, whicb is treated with oil of juniper and turpen tine and again distilled. It is the most healthful o{ all spirits, as it is very free from fusel oil. free acids and tannin. Amongst the flavoring substances used, ortside of juniper berries and turpen tine, are almond cake, coriander seeds, cardamoms, capsicums, calansus, orris and angelica roots. It is often largely adulterated with water. Whisky is a variety of spirit distilled from fermented grain or potatoes. The grain may DE eliDer meitea or raw. When unmelted grain is used the first operation produces a crude alcohol which is redistilled but when melted grain is fermented, small stills called "pot beads" are employed, and the product is simply kept for a time and not redistilled. A mixture of melted and unmelted grain is often employed. New whisky is especially dangerous owing to the presence of amyl alcohol in large quantities. It requires to be kept until the poisonous alcohol be comes oxidized into comparative! harmless ethers aiad its injurious effects are less evident Hence the govern' ment regulations on this subject Wood naptha is a comparatively fro* quent adulterant in cheap whiskies, and the smoky taste of Irish and Scotc'i whiskies is imitated by the addition .f a few drops of creosote to the gallon. The sulphates of copper (blue vitriol), zinc and lead arc used to give the liquor "bite." Cayenne pepper is often added, and logwood, catechu, tea infu sion ^and burnt sugar are used for col oring. Oiliness is given with glycerine. In fact none of the spirits are so fre quently adulterated or with such delet erious ingredients as are the whiskies, although it is doubtful if fusel oil is eve* purposely added to them.—Phar maceutical Era. FACTS AND FINDINGS. A ROTAT. commission has been ordered to investigate the effects of the liquor traffic in Canada. IK connection with the British Wom en's Temperance association there are four homes for inebriate women, through which upward of 355 patients have passed, many of whom are thor oughly reclaimed and most grateful for the help received while resident therein. THE society for the abolition of strong drink in Holland certifies that in a population of :-,500,0'J0 there are 33 000 licenses for the sale of liquor an nually granted. Computing two-thirds of the population to be women and children, there is a saloon to every thirty-three men. OITTSIDK nature." mrals, the grim logic of experience may in- hlcobol as an economic factor auce a few half-confirmed drunkards to renounce their vice in time but we can never hope to get a stroke at the root of the upas tree till we can en force the general recognition of the truth, that the alcohol habit in all its forms is a wholly abnormal passion, as distinct from a natural appetite as poison from wholesome food, that the indulgence of that ^passion, even, in the slightest degree, is resisted, by the veto all questions of home and of the physical harm being done by beer is appalling. Even Germany has been compelled to raise its voim against it Binz, who is an advocate sickness, expressed his profound con viction of the terrible evil it is inflict ing on the health of the nation.—Inde pendent THE liquor habit must be regarded, first of all, as a vice, and not a disease, and treated accordingly.
