Justice Turnkey also rendered the de
cision in the famous case Of the Rev.

Chicago Letter.
The 11-year-old daughter of DR.. W
Of this city fell. or imagined she did, wildly
in love with a mellow-voiced baritone in
the Mapleson company. Under an assum-
ed name she wrote him gushing and ro-
mantle little notes. and finally sent her
photograph. The face was SO lovely that it
p:qued the singers curiosity. but it was in
vain he pleaded for An opportunity to see
it. Miss W could only enjoy her esca
pade as long as she maintained her ipcog-
nito. Finally the baritone, noting the
name of the photographer, visited his par
lors and ascertained his correspondent 5
name. Then he wrote to her under her
real address, saying he had identified her.
and she could take the choice of having
her picture and notes back and giving him
$500 in cash, or he would tell reporter of
the Police Gaze:ts the story and have the
picture published. There is little likeli
hood such a threat would have been car
ried out, but the girl was So terribly
frightened that she sent him all the money
she could scrape together, and the rest OF
the sum in jewelry.
Del Puente once went nearly wild with
ungratifed curiosity through the pranks Of
a mischievous school girl, who was perpet-
ual!y sendin. him love letters, in which
she declares she never missed single
night when ne sung, and that when he left
New York on his tour with Her Majesty's
company she should follow him and be
present at every performance. Sure enough
in every city where he sung he received 4
pretty note of congratulation, with the
usual information that the writer, dressed
rs usual, in black, was present. OF course
there were always number OF young and
pretty women in this sOmber hue. but
which was his correspondent Del Puente
never could decide The letters were al
ways pOstmarkeLl with the name OF the
city lie happened to be in. and finally he
became really nervous with the idea of al
unknown woman following him in this
shadowy fashion. His curiosity was not
destined to be satisfied until long aftcrward
when he found that the fair unknown,
cleverly following the published route,
would send i stamped but undircctci letter
to the postmaster Of the city he happened
to be in, with the request that he would
ascertain the singers name and forward it.
AS long as the letter was stamped this was
sure to be done, and the tenor never failed
to receive the missivc.

A British statesman who recently had
! the l,ardihood to put forth the optimistic
| statement that the beer interest is on the
decline is severely handled By one of the
journals devoted to the protection of that
bibulous industry. The print in question
draws upon it's armory Of facts and figures
and triumphantly presents to the Loriiicd
gaze of the advocates Of temperance an
array Of statistics which is not calculated
to have IN exhilarating effect upon the
cold water apostles. The first sta
tistical shot fired by it goes clear through
cxnltin.ly declares, forty thousand brew
cries in Europe, and of all the houses in
England and Wales the formidable num-
Der of one hundred and thirteen thousand,
or one in every forty, arc devoted to the
sale of liquor in some form or another
This is an enormous proportion Of what
are called ruin shops " to shops and pri
vatc dwellings which do not dispense the
deadly or delicious beverage, according
as it is regarded by its enemies Or
it's friends. One beer house in every forty
is a record Of which every beer lover
should be proud. All the religious de
nominations put together cannot show as
many houses Of worship and schools, pub
lie or private. I,u: this is not the only
evidence Of the conqucring march and
progress Of beer. British spirits and beer
represented, so far rs consumption went,
in the decade before the last one,
four hurried and fifty million dol
lars, while in the decade just closed these
figures have risen to the enormous sum OF
seven hundred and eighty million dollars.
In the face of all this it is idle to declare
that beer is on the decline. On the con-
trary, in the words of it's stalwart organ,
"Thc broad lesson remains the samc-that
Of marvellous progress. British beer is
evidently a pretty solid British institution.
