A Strong Temperance Leciure in the Police Court. A well dressed young man, a victim of strong drink and cigarettes, whose discol- cred eyes showed that he had met with some mishap, appeared in Judge Kimball's court this morning, “charged with being an habitual drunkard. His name is Jas, Cullinan, and he said not guilty when the clerk arraigned him. Policeman Brennan told of having mad¢ the arrest at the home of the young mam He made the arrest on complaint of thé young than’s father. “He was drunk,” said the officer, “and I found him tearing up things générally.” The prisoner's aged father appeared on the stand and told Judge Kimball of the efforts he had made to reform his boy. “He is continually drunk and smokin, cigarettes,” the father said, “and the: is war at the house all the time because his wants in the shape of funds are not Satisfied, and he uses the vilest and worst language imaginable.” oes he work for his living?” the court asked. “Hi has worked about one month in twe years,” was the father's response. : ive you done to cure him this habitr’ 4 “He has been in the hospital here and has also been in the Keeley Institute and in a sanitarium at Elmira.” - “This,” said Judge Kimball, “is another of those strong temperance lectures 80 often seen in court The prisoner, who is twenty-six years old, then made a statement in his own be- half, telling of the few times he has been sober during the past two years.
