CRIME NOT AFFECTED
BY THE NUMBER OF SALOONS
IN A GIVEN PLACE.
At Least that is What is Said by Rev. Henry C
Kinney. Rector of Holy Trinity Episcopal
Church, of New York—And He Gives Figures
to Prove it.
Recently the New York Tribune has
been printing a good many articles on
the liquor traffic and showing the re
lation of the saloon to drunkenness
and crime. I have taken the census
returns of 129 cities of the United
States, the number of saloons to the
population of each, the number of ar
rests for drunkenness and for crime,
and I am prepared to say that the ar
rests made in these cities have no re
lation to the number of saloons in
them.
in making this deduction I took
first the census returns on population
of each city and found the proportion
of saloons to each 10,000 of popula
tion. Then taking the number of ar
rests in that eitv, I found the propor
tion of arrests in each 10,000 of popu
lation. Entering these figures in par
allel columns I found some striking
groups.
For instance, Chicago and Roches
ter, N. Y., have the same relative
number of saloons, averaging a frac
tion more than 38 to the 10,000 of
population. But while Rochester po
lice arrested only 73.5 persons in each
10,000 for drunkenness and 43.4 for
other crimes, the Chicago department
arrested 237.1 for drunkenness and
64.7 for other crimes and misdemean
ors. Taking the figures for Roches
ter, only six other cities of the United
States had a smaller number of arrests
for drunkenness in proportion to pop
ulation, while fifty-three cities showed
fewer arrests for crimes in each 10,000
of population.
In the Chicago figures the city
ranked forty-seventh in the number of
arrests for drunkenness, forty-first in
its arrests for crimes, and only thirty
sixth in its proportion of saloons.
Taking Boston, with its 14.2 saloons
to Chicago's 38 in the 10,000, Boston
had 429.1 arrests for drunkenness to
Chicago's 237.1. With nearly three
times as many saloons as Boston has,
Chicago had only a little more than
half the drunkenness coming to the
notice of the police. Only thirteen
cities of the United States, having a
population of 30,000 or more, exceeded
the records of Boston for drunkenness.
Of these thirteen cities, too, 1 was
sorry to find Joliet, 111., with 479.5 ar
rests in each 10,000, and Springfield,
111., with 490.9, all under the head of
drunkenness.
But, however numerous were Juliet's
arrests for drunkenness, there were
only twenty-five of the 129 cities free
er from crime than it was; as to
Springfield, 115 of these cities had
fewer arrests for crime, leaving the Il
linois capital in this respect almost at
the bottom of the list.
Norfolk, Va., and Atlanta, Ga., are
two Southern cities subject to compar
isons. Norfolk has 25.3 saloons to
every 10,000 of population, while At
lanta has only 13.4 saloons to the
same number. Yet Norfolk arrested a
total of only 501.9 persons for all
causes, while Atlanta had 1,110.4 to
each 10,000 of population.
These figures quoted have been in
dividual. In some of my generalir.-
ings I obtained equally as startling re
sults.
I took eleven cities, for instance,
which had no licensed saloons, and
having a total population of 600,155.
As against these I set off five cities
having a total of 751,984 inhabitantsi
and with an average of fifty-five sa
loons to each 10,000 population.
In the first group, having no li
censed saloons and 151,000 fewer peo
ple, I found an average of 202 arrests
for drunk and disorderly conduct in
each 10,000 population, as against 112
in the 10,000 in the group of cities
having licensed saloons. In each 10,-
000 population in the unlicensed
group there were 94.82 more arrests
for drunkenness and 4.23 more arrests
for crime than I found where liquor
was licensed in so many places.
I have no reasons to advauce ac
counting for this showing. I have
taken official figures only, and present
results that cost me most of my sur
plus time through a period of two
months. These figures must stand
for themselves. I have only to say of
them that they prove beyond chal
lenge that there is no traceable con
nection between the number of sa
loons in the cities and the crime rec
ords of those places.

THEIR FAVORITE READING.
The Rook Lover,
Bancroft's specialty was the early
history of the United States, and for
many years all he read had a bearing
on that subject.
Mrs. Hermans was a lover of the
Spanish romances, and often enter
tained a small domestic audience with
one of these tales.
Alexander the Great always slept
with a copy of Homer under his
pillow. His life was modeled after
that of Achilles.
Lord Bacon was a diligent student
of Aristotle. He said that Aristotle
had the mightiest intellect the world
ever knew.
Bal/.ac was passionately fond of
fairy tales, and the wilder and more
extravagant they were, the better he
likes them.
Henry VIII, oi England, was fond
of the controversial works that were
common in his day and wrote a hook
against I.uther.
Napoleon 111, was a student of mili
tary history and particularly of the
history of the Roman state about the
time of Ca-sar.
Bryon was a Bible reader in bis
youth and later in life retained and
used many passages from the Scrip
tures in his poems.
Berlioz read everything be could
find that bad any bearing on the
theory of music. He was a born
theorist, but had so little of the prac
tical in his composition that he could
play no instrument save the guitar,
and that very badly.
Shakespeare must have been an
omnivorous reader, for his plays show
odds and eDds of learning gathered
from every quarter.
Locke gave most of his attention to
works of philosophy. He said: " I
stand amazed at the profundity of
thought shown by Aristotle."
Hume said that Tacitus was the
ablest writer that ever lived, and him
self tried to model his style on that of
the Roman historian.
Meissionier was devoted to Cor
neille. lie said: " Corneille sketches
character as I paint, with the most
scrupulous regard to detail."
Wesley's principal reading was the
Bible. He once declared that a
Christian should be "a man of one
book, and that book the Bible."
Charles Sumner was a classical
scholar of rare attainments. Up to
the close of his life he preserved a
habit of classical reading.
Lamb was a Shakespearean reader
and fond of investigating the sources
whence the plots and tales utilized by
the bard of Avon were obtained.
Kant, the German philosopher, was
a master of philosophical and mathe
matical information. His reading
rarely went beyond these lines.
Jenny Lind was fond of history, but
preferred it when diluted with fiction.
She said that a historical romance
suited her ideas exactly.
Isaac Watts thought the world con
tained no finer reading than the
Psalms of David. He paraphrased
many if not most of them in Knglish
verse.
Gregory the Great said that the
world did not elsewhere contain such
wisdom as was to be found in the
epistles of Paul.
Aguinaldo Interviewed.
A correspondent of the New York
World in the Philippines has inter
viewed Aguinaldo, who is quoted as
saying that he will continue to fight
and that he has no confidence in
American promises. Aguinaldo's own
words were:
" I have not forgotten their profes
sions of friendship and of support
given me by Dewey and Otis and all
of them, and especially by Wild man.
My army fought with and for them,
to defeat the Spanish, and promises
most solemnly given, that we were to
have independence, were made. All
these solemn promises have been re
pudiated by them all. No; amnesty
means American slavery, and obed
ience to the will of McKinley. To
accept amnesty means shame, infamy,
Blavery, degradation. Personally it
means imprisonment for me. Until
the Filipino nation shall have a gov
ernment of its own this war will go
King Edward Has a Cancer.
A late London dispatch states that
King Edward is a victim of cancer of
the throat. There is absolutely no
doubt of this, and the best specialists
in the kingdom agree that his days
are numbered. His case is exactly
similar to that of the late Emperor
Frederick of Germany, and also that
of the Duke of Edinburgh.
Sir Felix Semon, WHO is in regular
attendance upon the Majesty and
sprays his throat at frequent inter
vals, is authority for the statement
that the dread disease runs in the
family of the King and there is no
hoi>e of his recovery. The story is
OLYMI'IA, WASHINGTON: FRIDAY EVENING, FEB. 22, 1901.
told throughout London, and Sir
Felix, who is the greatest throat spec
ialist of the empire, keeps constant
watch upon his royal patient.
On Monday before the Queen's
death, the King's throat was very bad,
and it was with difficulty that he
could articulate. When it becomes
necessary for bint to make a speeeh,
however short, the physician treats
the throat for some time, spraying it
with astringents and medicines.
At a meeting of the Privy Council
some days ago it was almost impos
sible for King Edward to speak at all,
and it was with the greatest difficulty
that he got through the trying session.
His Majesty knows he is doomed,
hut looks forward to his fate with
superb courage and hears up bravely.
In the current number of Succtst,
Nikola Tesla dips into the future as
to what science has in store for man
kind. Some of his predictions are as
follows:
A system of wireless telegraphy
by which a message can be sent clear
around the world.
Electrical production of ozone for
sterilizing water, to rid it of its many
impurities.
The manufacture of artificial food
by oxidized hydrogen.
The flying machine will be a fact.
It will not bring universal peace, as
some suppose. Some nation will rule
the air as well as the sea.
Future developments will tend to
diminish the number of individuals
engaged in battle. This will bring
into use a machine which can be
operated by the fewest possible indi
viduals.
Perfection of the telautomaton, a
machine having nil its bodily move
ments contiolled from a distance,
without wires. Telautomatics are ap
plicable to any machine that moves on
the land, in water or in the air.
The transmission of electrical energy
through the earth without a wire.
A system to draw energy from the
sun.
The electrolytic process of extract
ing iron from ore, and molding it into
required forms without fuel consump
tion.
The electrolytic manufacture of
aluminum and its gradual extermina
tion of copper and, possibly iron.
A self-acting engine capable of de
riving energy from its own motion.
The principles of the microbe inoc
ulation of the soil for the purpose of
forcing the growth of certain of the
legumes, or bean family, has been car
ried out in Kansas on the largest
scale yet reported, leguminous
plants assimilate free nitrogen for the
air through the intermediary of
tubercles on the roots, which are
due to low forms of organic life. The
Kansas soil, it was found, contained
none of the organisms necessary for
this absorption of nitrogen. Accord
ingly the Kansas experiments station
introduced soil from Maine in which
the soy bean was known to thrive.
Crops were successfully grown and
this soil used for further inoculation
of other plats. The experiments have
now been continued over several sea
sons, demonstrating that the soil can
be inoculated in a wholesale manner
by this method. As a result the soy
bean can be grown on Kansas soil
over a large area. The value of the
plant lies not only in the forage crop
it produces, but in its ability to ex
tract nitrogen from the air, which is
utilized to enrich the soil.
A young man of Memphis, Tenn.,
rang up a lady acquaintance of his on
Court street some days ago, but in
stead of her answering the 'phone her
self her elder sister did so. The young
man recognized the difference at once
and said, in a suave, mellow voice:
" Won't you please deliver a message
to Miss Clara?"
Delighted at the prospect of carry
ing a message that might rssult in
giving her some insight into the rela
tion that existed between her sister
and the young man at the other end
of the line, she answered:
" Why, certainly, with the greatest
of pleasure."
" Well, tell her to come to the
'phone."
" But, Delia, we should not let your
father's prejudice stand in the way
of our marriage. What is money to
true love?"
" 1 know, Alfred, that money is not
all, but hunger is something. Last
night you walked past three restaur
ants on the way from the theater and
never said oysters once. But papa
had something for me to eat when I
got home."

DOBBIN'S BACK HAIR.
Most of the Material for Violin Bows is " Made
in Germany" and Russia.
"Tbere is a vast amount of horse
hair annually used in the United
States for making and repairing vio
lin, violoncello and bass viol bows,"
said a wholesale dealer in such mate
rials in New York to a Washington
Star reporter recently. " All of the
hair comes from Germauy and Russia,
in which countries the tails of horses
are generally allowed to grow much
longer than here. The foreign hair is
also coarser in texture and tougher
than that which grows on the Ameri
can horse, and these qualities make
the imported article more valuable
than the domestic product is for the
purpose.
"There are only two kinds of horse
hair suitable for making bows, and
they are of the white and black varie
ties. The former is used for violin
bows, and the latter, which is heavier
and stronger, is the best material for
making bows for cello and bass viols,
because it bites the larger strings bet
ter. The imported liair is put up in
hanks thirty-six inches long, which is
five or six inches longer than the
standard violin bow. A hank is suf
ficient for one violin bow, while two
hanks are required to hair a cello or
bass viol bow. There are about one
and one-half ounces of hair in a hank,
which is worth from 20 to 30 cents,
according to the quality of the hair."
Lincoln's Favorite Hymn.
Lincoln's favorite hymn has been
determined by Secretary John Hay,
who as his private Secretary might
know, and who says that " there was
one which he particularly liked." The
hymn which remains in Mr. Hay's
memory is Anne Steele's, and is al
ways sung to Lowell Mason's tune
"Naomi," a pathetic expression of
patience, and well fitting the subdued
•occ of the verses, which are but a
small part of the whole hymn as Miss
Steele wrote it:
Father, whate'er of earthly bliss
Thy sovereign will denies.
Accepted at Thy throne, let this.
My humble prayer, arise.
Ulve me a calm,a thankful hea't.
From every murmur free;
The blessings of thy grace impart.
And let me live to Thee.
Let the sweet hope that Thou art mine
My life aud death attend:
Thy preseuce through my journey shine,
Aud crown my journey's end.
QUEEN Wilhelmina of Holland was
born August 31, 1880, and is the
youngest sovereign in Europe. Al
fonso XIII of Spain is but 15 years
old, aud he is still in his minority,
the government of Spain being in
trusted to his mother, the Queen
Regent. The oldest sovereign in
Europe is the present King of Den
mark, who is 83; King Oscar of Sweden
