tempting to descend from the third floor of
the building, where he had made the pur-
chase, he was instantly crushed to death by
the elevator. As the elevator came UP to
the floor it appears the unfortunate man,

The New York Eyeaing Post, in an article
showing the increase of production during
the past few years in the matter Of beer
Manufacture, says ''How far this prodnc-
ton has served to diminish the consumption
of other alcoholics as drinks has not yet
been shown by statistics, and it may be diff
cult to do so with any high degree Of accu-
racy, for the reason that much OF the alco-
hol manufactured is used In various indus
tries. It is not improbable that the increased
quantity of beer consumed has had the eff
feet Of decreasing the vice of drunkenness
in It's most vicious form. But In this respect
also statistics are wanting. One thing, how
ever, is absolutely certain: nobody will say
that the vice Of drunkenness has increased
in this country In proportion to the increase
in the production and consumption OF
beer.n
