The many homicides that have oc curred in the State during this holiday season indicate that many people have lost the true idea of Christmas observ ance, it they ever had it. No doubt it the matter were looked into carefully, a majority of the crimes and cas ulties which have occurred in the State during this Christmas time have had their origin in the effects of ic toxicating drinks. And yet men who are sensible about almost everything else somehow are foolish when you speak about restricting the privilege of the' liquor drinker or the liquor dealer. A young man named Oscar Booz, of Pennsylvania, recently died, and be fore hie death he gave information concerning certain forms of hazing which he suffered as a cadet at West Pjint Academy He was taken from West Point unwell and his father charged that his death Was due to the result ot hazing. This called forth an investigation which has been in pro gress for eome days. The investigation has brought out some developments that are more or less shocking. Cadets are olten put to such tests of endurance that tbey faint, bcome hys terical and the like. - While no doubt some ol the charges hye been over drawn, there is reason to believe from the testimony of those who have giv en evidence, that the hazing there has sometimes approached, if not reached, the point of brutality. Frequently for various causes cadets are made to fight when they refuse to do certain things they are told to do. Hazing-has about ceased at other In stitutions, and because West Point is a place for military training is no reason it should not cease there. Cure void In Read.

Statesville, N. C, Dec. 27. After evading the officers for more tb an four years, M. M. Calloway, who was con victed in the Federal Court in 1896, for removing whiskey from ah.onded warehouse and sentenced to a term of 18 months in the penitentiary, was to day landed in Iredell jail by Capt. B. M. Warden, deputy marsh air at Dallas, Tex,, and Capt. E. F. Gates, assistant chief of police of Dallas. At the time Calloway was convicted, Mr. T. J. Allison was marshall for the western district of North Carolina, and was conveying Calloway, together with a number of prisoners, to the Albany penitentiary. "To prevent their escape the prisoners were handcuffed, and chained together. Mr. C. H. Armfield accompanied Marshall Allison and was assisting bini in looking after the pris oners. Mr. Armfield had his little daughter with hrm and on their arriyal at Greensboro Mr, Allison remarked to Mr. Armliield that he had better look after his daughter, thai be himself would take care of the prisoners in get ting off the train, Calloway, who is rather lift of build and bad a very small hand, had managed to slip the handcuffs off before their arrival at Greensboro, and while Mr. Allison, who was coming out with the rest as though he was still handcuffed, got off on the opposite side and at once proceeded to move and has been on the move a great deal eince. At sunrise the next morn ing after his escape Calloway was with in 20 miles ot bia home in Watauga county. Knowing that the officers would naturally suppose him to be In his old neighborhood, he concluded to go West, and thither be went. His father had moved to Texas some years before and settled near Chisholm, in " The One Day Cold Cure. - Por colds and sore throat ase Kermott's C oeo Utes Laxative Quinine, J"" t?i 8rt aaAj and quickly care. . Kockwell county, and it was to this neighborhood that Calloway betook himself. Ie the meantime Mr. Allison had been on the alert and by writing nu merous letters, one of which was to the postmaster at Chisholm, he located Calloway in Texas. He had also secu red permission from Attorney General Harmon, to whom he had promptly re ported the escape, and assumed any liability therefore that might be Impos ed upon him to go to Texas and cap ture the fugitive, but his duties here prevented his going. A warrant was then issued to the officers in Texas and the same was placed in the hands of Capt. Warden, on the 22nd of September, 1896, and he proceeded to tbe execution of the same, but not until after the bird had taken its flight. Calloway had been advised by the postmaster at Chisholm that the officers were after him. On being asked to-day how he first ascer tained that the Texas officers were waoting him he said : "Well, the post master at Chisholm is a good friend of mine." Capt. Warden also got,, per mission from the Attorney -General to pursue the fugitive and take him any where he might be fcund and accord-; inglyJoUowed him into Mexico and numerous other poins Being so; closely pursued he came back and set tled near Abbeville, Va , where , be j lived until some months ago and went back to Texas. Capt. Warden learning of ! this went for him again, but' Calloway had "moved" again, this time to Okla homa, and it was at Mountain View, Okla , that he finally trapped him on the 11th inst. Calloway Js married and has two children. He says that for two or three years he had felt that the officers were not after him, and that he would not have endeavored to escape had it not. been be was hound ed down by Deputy Marshal Colvard. It was with much emotion that he ex pressed himself on this point. He says he. wishes now that he had taken his medicine at tbe time and it would all been over. - The One Day Colo! Cure.

The opinion grows that athletics may be overdone at colleges, if carried beyond tbe point of compelling each student to take adequate exercise. The financial reports of atbeletic com mittees of Columbia and 'Pennsylvania show great expenses, incurred with ap parent recklessness, to the distress doubtless of the parents of not a few of the students. At the "University ot Pennsylvania tbe expenses incurred for athletic sports during tbe school year were f 112,000, against gross re ceips of about $100,000. The Colum bia committee's statement is nearly as bad. ' The gross receipts from athlet ics were f 40,000, but expenses were 150,000. Tbe items of expenditure show that dissipation is promoted quite as much as muscle, tbe outgo for theatre tickets, cab3 and dinners be ing lavish and excessive. These luxu ries can hardly be deemed legitimate expenses of an athletic team. Nor are the students fitted by age or di ;retion for the economical disbursement of sums ranging from $50,000 to $100,000 There are, it is true, members of the. facu'tiea on the managing committees, but they seem to turn everything over to the boys. Reform . is evidently re quired in tbe Interest of the students themselves, a majority of whom can ill afford the money thrown away yearly on "sport." Exercise "in a gymnasium is well enough, but tbe teams, with their games rivalries, etc., ii not properly regulated, distract at tention from studies, to say nothing of losses of life on the football field and the "cane rushes," hazing, etc., which violent sport seems to promote. - - ' Sore and swollen joints, sharp, shoot ing pains, torturing muscles, no rest, no sleep.'

A bill is now being drawn for pre sentation at the next meeting of tbe Illinois legislature, provided that the maximum rate for the transportation of pasoengers in that Stae shall be two cents per mile, and it isstatad that. J the lobbyists of the railroads in In diana, Iowa and many other Western States besides Illinois will be busy from this time on in fighting the en actment of any such laws. The indi cations point to the passage of the bill by tho Illinois Aesembly. Tho coun try members, who are usually willing to vote for anything that will annoy a railroad, are almost unanimously in favor of the movement and there will be a spirited fight over the measure. A similar bill is being prepared for presentation in Indiana, such a mea sure having been passed by ths last indiana House only to be defeated in Senate. There seems to be a general movement and in addition to that the proposed legislation includes a mileage book measure that will regulate this form of transportation, wbile still an other feature will be a measure to re duce the prices to be charged in fcleep- ing cars. This last measure will re quire the sleeping car company to sell seat accommodations for a man not to exceed 35 cents lor each 100 miles, and the passenger shall not be required to pay more than 50 cents for a single or $1 for an upper berth for every 100 miles traveled. The railroads say that two cent mileage h unreasonable In the extreme and that it will bankrupt some of the smaller roads. Tbe reduction would cut down the passenger receipts one-third, and It is a matter to be care fully investigated before being decided upon.' - , j Cut this out and take it to E. T.
