A sexton Suffocated by Gas

NEW YORK, Aug. THE congregation OF
the Fourteenth street Presbyterian church
were astonished to-day by the smell of escap-
ing gas, and Rev. Mr.. Wesley, official clergy
man, was annoyed at many leaving. J. B.
Osborne, sexton, not being at his post, the
church was opened by the organist After
service, it was learned that Osborne had not
been seen since Wednesday evening, when
there was lecture in the church. The often
sive odor appeared to have come from the
Sunday school library, next to the lecture
room. The doors were forced :by the police,
and stretched on the cushion in the middle OF
the floorl was found the dead body of Osborne,
nearly nude, in an advanced stage of decompo-

The Great Race Bet,ceen american Eclipse
and Henry.

To the Editor of the Globe.
A correspondent of the Pioneer Press de-
sires some "old horseman" who is familiar
with the event, to furnish an account of the
great four mile race between American Eclipse
and Henry Inasmuch as the race occurred
on Long Island, nearly sixty years ago, MAY
27tb, 1921 the probabilities are
that eighty or ninety year-old horse
are scarce in this section of country.
However, having oftenIwhen boy read and
heard the accounts of the race talked over, l
will give my recollections as they were thus
acquired concerning it.
American Eclipse was foaled on Long ISL
and in 1914 his sire was Duroc, son of imp.
Diomed, and his dam Miller's Damsel daugh-
fer of imp. Messenger. He was sold when
tbree years old by Gen. Coles, his breeder, to
Mr.. Van Ranst, distinguished turfman of
New York, who ran him successfully In many
races of three and four mile heats,
as well as -uslng him IN
the stud, until 1922. In the
fall of that year a challenge appeared in the
New York papers, from Mr.. Harrison, of Vir
ginia, offering to run Sir Charles against
American Eclipse over the Washington course

Too MUCH DRINKING IN IRELAND Prof. Leone Levi tells us that the proportion per 1000 of persons committed for drunkenness in England and Wales is7, while in Ireland it is over IS. One person in every 54 of the popu lation of Ireland was arrested for drunkenness in 1879. It is somewhat startling to think that, adopting rough methods of calculations, it may be said, in 1879 about person in every II of the total population either received off cial relief, or was officially arrested for being drunk. The estimated value of spirits and beer Consumed in Ireland during the famine year of 1879 was about e9, 375, ,000-a sum ex ceeding half the total annual valuation of all Ireland. In that year 8 sum equivalent to nearly two-thirds of the annual value of Ire land was expended in relieving distress and supplying liquor. It is a noteworthy fact that the operation of the Sunday Closing act in the first year of it's application QS76) reduced the number of arrests for drunkenness by nearly 9,OO0 and the total value of spirits and beer consumed by over 41, ,500,0 The move
 ment which culnIinated in tlat particular act embraced men of all creeds and classes in Ireland, and it is one of the few blessings she has conferred upon herself It IS an evidence of the great dormant political force which be asserted hy the stable ard true men of Ire
 land and encourages hope that the infuerc. of the ''great unstaid" may yet be shattered by the consolidated power of common. sense Ireland, finding its expression in current of healthy public opinion. Meantime tine mul. titude of pot-houses in poverty stricken dis. trlcts is at once the memorial of magistrates work and the slgn post to guide Parliament sincerely anxious to do true ''justice to Ire. land" The prevailing custom in remote dis tricts is to combine the spirit license with all other branches of trade. Drinking is found to increase business for muddled brain takes an optimist view of shop debts In remote districts nothing hardly can be bought except in house also selling spirits so great has been the anxietyof the local magistrates not to make invidious distinctions in granting licen- ses. Thespoor underfed people, in tue trans actios of their little business, are thus forced face to face with great and sore temptations What wonder if they get drunk What chance have men so situated of keeping sober These districts are drunken that magistrates may not be unpopular, and that inflated credit may yet increase.
