Beer, Pork. and Music.

The other day an article appeared in
the Gazefte giving some groupings OF
curious names found in the new direc-
tory of tie city. Figures were also
given Of the number Of churches, co.
cleties, banks, railroads, streets. etc.,
i'll Cincinnati. The following addition
al information will be of interest:
Cincinnati is noted for three things
beer, pork, and music, and for the first
named article more than anything else.
The Elere statement of such univer-
sally known fact is, of course, no infor
nation. But even Ciucinnatlans might
be surprised to learn that there are
S37 saloons within its corporate limits.
There are, in addition, forty establish.
ments for the sale OF native wines,
eleven tor the sale of Rhine wines, l45
Tor tho sale Of wines and liquors;
also thirty eight distllleries, forty two
wholesale whisky stores, fifteen rectify-
ing establishments, six redistilleries;
and last, but moi ieast--for therein is
the basis of the chief glory OF Cincin.
natl twenty five breweries. Leaving
out the brewerIes, distilleries, and rec.
tltying establishments, there are 2,075
places in Cincinnati where intoxicating
liquors are sold. This number does
NOT include the drug stores, which
might, with some propriety, be counted
in, for out of the lao retail drug stores
IN the city, it can safely be said that
liquor Is sold by the drink in 100 of
them.
There are many other places where
beer, wine and liquors are sold,
although there is no bar, such as res
tauranls, confectionery aud ice-cream
saloons. Neither does the list include
the vast unenumerated number of re-
sorts OF gamblers aud debauchees,
where distilled damnation is served
out to order with other inIq uities. But
taking the number at 2O75, aud the
city population at 255 .O0O-a pretty
close estimate, according to the
amended report, as shown elsewhere in
to-day's issue-there is about one es-
adjustment for the sale of intoxicating
liquors for every 1913 persons and a
third. These figures should serve as
material for temperance advocates to
thoughtfully cogitate upon.
Taxing the places where the actual
necessaries OF life are sold it is found
that there are 275 bakeries, 70 slaugh-
ter houses and butcher shops, 80
Wholesale and ,094 retail groceries.
These figures do not include the large
number of market stands, where, ut
stated times. everything i'll the edible
