rpr r,sT OF THE TILToN-BEEcHER NATTER
rrh,odor, Tilton sailed for Europe last
SATURDAY. with his son and daughters, who
:, :, ra,nain in Germany to be there edu-
81 And Tilton and his fast friend,
Vonlron. have quarrelled! Think of that
Think of Frank Moulton's saying that he
was "a blasted fool for throwing over so
good friend as Beecher, for such id
scoundrel as Tilton.'' What it is all about
no one as yet knows. Tilton denies 1t, but
there is no doubt but that there Is coot-
ness between the men, and one that cannot
be warmed into the old-time trlenuShlP'
Noulton suffered terribly by his staunch
standing bv Tilton, for it not only thre"
him ont of the society that he delighted IN,
bnt # ruined him in his business. He was
connelled to leave the firm IN which ne
had q controlling interest, and was idle
durinc the entire time of the fight; and
now. to build himself up, he has commenc-
ed business again as the agent of Liver
pool salt house, and is working like turk.
After making the sacrifices he did for Til
ton he was entitled to all the gratitude a
man could show, and, if there is a split,
Tilton must have been very cold-blooded
toward him. Beecher's salary as editor of
the Christian Union has been cut down
from $1,000 to $4,000, which is still too
much, considering the work he does. And
while Theodore makes his 100000 a year
in the lecture field, and Beecher gets S2O'-
600 from his church, $4,000 from the Chris
tian Union, and $4,000 from lectures.
Mrs. Tilton weeps over her struggles with
boarders in a small house in Brooklyn.
She is the real sufferer, and always will be.
She has lost her husband. the man for
whom she lost him has abandoned her, and
the society who professed to believe in Mr..
Beecher's innocence treat her as though
she were guilty. It's a queer world.
THE MEAT BUSINESS
has been temporarily checked by an ad-
vance in the price of beef on foot. There
was but very slight margin when the
steamers were fitted up for the business,
and raise of two cents a pound spoiled it.
The steamers have been for several trips
carrying butter to Europe, on which there
is profit made; and, by the way, Amerl-
ca exports an enormous amount Of cheese
to England. The Johnny Bulls have dis
covered that the American cheese Is hner
in favor and very much cheaper than their
own and they take it in large quantities.
A cheese dealer in the city told me that
ninety per cent. of the Imported" Swiss
and German cheese was made on the West
ern Reserve in Ohio and in Western New
York, and that the only difference was, the
native product was better than the genuine
imported. Speaking of German products,
America produces better
LAGER BEER
than Germany. In this city the consump-
ton of lager beer is enormous, and is in
every day, Whiskey and stronger
drinks are being thrown out of the market,
and the Americans are consoling them
selves with the tavorite drink of the teuton.
New York does not make good beer, as her
manufacturers find it to their profit to
make cheaPbeer for the working classes.
The beer that is drank by the better class
es, or, rather, the more wealthy people, is
shipped from Toledo, Ohio, Cincinnati and
Milwaukee; the beer of the three cities
in the order have set them down.
One brewer in Toledo ships three car loads
a day, to this city alone, for city consump-
tion, and as much more for suburban use.
The effect upon the morals of the drinking
people has been good; one can't drink
enough of the foaming lager to intoxicate
him, very well, and if ne does, the intoxi-
cation is not that furious, frantic kind
that whisky produces. If men will drink,
it is good thing that they prefer the mild
beer to fiery whisky. Beer is driving
whisky out of use. The beer from the
west is shipped here in refrigerator cars,
so that it lands in as good order as it left
its brewery. The business is increasing
every day; all bars keep it bottled, and
of whisky bars now draw it
from the wood, the same as the exclusively
German saloons.
