But this is not all; there remains an.
other point to be considered. II ia fair
to presume that If man lives tn 10 ..v

in general. Now, how many deaths of
people over 90 years old occurred in the
year mentioned? Exactly 1sO,l57. Sup
pose these all deducted from the grand
total, and We have precisely 1885
deaths between the ages of 20 and so,
and half these being considered as men,
on the principle of offsetting unfortunate
women against temperance men. there
remain only IS, 1868 deaths for the wear
out OF which to people the $4,000 drunk
ards graves.
The figures look absurd, as they are,
when put to the test of accurate knowl-
edge. There is no doubt lamentable
amount OF drunkenness in the country,
and thousands of promising lives are an
nuaily wrecked. Nay, more; many hun
dreds OF deaths ensue directly, and others
indirectly, from the excessive use of
alcoholic drinks. The actual number of
deaths directly resulting from this cause
IL the year referred to were, males, !, 1888,
females 254. These figures are frightful
enough, in all conscience, and they need
no establishment, no rhetoric tropes or
loose e1aggerations to intensity their
horror, particularly as they may, per-
haps, be fairly doubled in allowing for
the deaths that whisky caused indirect
ly. Let Brother Jones picture in his fer
vld language an entire congregation as
large as that which listened to the ser
mon quoted going down annually into
this pit of destruction and he will need
no stronger argument. But exaggeration
is always weakness.

Huelees and gray, the funeral pall of cloud;
All day the sudden sweeps of chilling rain

The Fiction Concerning the Sixty Thousan,
Men That Annually DIE of Drunkenness.

The Fiction Concerning the Sixty thousand
Men That Annually DIE of Drunkenness.
St. Louis Globe Democrat
Brother Sam Jones, in speaking of the
sin of intern perance, said:
"Oh, the sin of intemperancei Look
at that tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys
are marching sixty thousand every year
into drunkards' graves. And as this six
ty Thousand this year 60 down into
drunkards' graves, the recruiting officers
of hell are recruiting this army from our
boys. That boy of yours, that boy of
ours. is marching into the ranks to fiji
them up, and in less than ten years from
to-day your boy will step down and out
yonder to grave and drunkard's
grave and drunkard's he'll"
Now, if this means anything more than
q mere piece of pointless hortation, it is
q grave assertion that sc, 600 men annual
ly die of drunkenness in the United
States. Let US see how sucha statement
will look when placed in juxtaposition
with the actual vital statistics of the coun-
try, as exhibited in the last decennial
census. The total population on June
|, 1880, was 50,l55, 7S3, and the total
deaths for the year ending that day
were 100 ,SS3, or an average of 1863 per
l 900 living. OF this large number who
died-large in fact thoug ID small in per
centage-shere died under 5 years of age
302,624, too young, we presume, to Be
classed as drunksrde, while the total of
deaths under 20 years, were sos. 600 ex-
actly. Deduct these latter figures from
the aggregate of all ages, and the re-
malnder, constituting nearly all those of
what may be called Of drunksble age. is
only S56, 1893, of whom more than half
were females, and many thousands pro-
fessed temperance people. But say, for
simplicity of calculation, and setting off
the temperance people against the drunk
en- women. that 10000 of these were
men, it would then appear, taking Brother
Jones' statement IS true, that one out of
every three men buried annually in the
United States fills . drunkard's crave.

J. Denth WATCH,

The New York newspapers have set
what they call the " death watch on the
dying General, knowing that he may die at
any moment, says the Cleveland Plain
dealer, and that they may instantly have
the news, each paper has set a reporter to
keep constant vigil in the neighberhood OF
the Grant residence, so as to be on the
spot when the last hour comes. The re-
porters have hired a room just across
the street where they beguile the time as
best they may while they wait for Gen.
Grant to die.
There is something infinitely pathetic
In this. The grim old soldier, who never
feared death In the ~fiercest storm or battle,
the man who q little while ago filled so
vast a space in the admiration OF the
world, silently suffering, broken in body
and overloaded with disappointments and
gloomy thoughts, waiting the moment
now so near, when the hand Of death shall
touch his heart.
And over across the street the deatf
watch set, waiting for Grant to die.
The bitter irony Of fate. the cruel mock
ery of bahied human hopes and disar'
pointed human ambitions could not con
spire to produce q sadder scene than this

QUITE A COINCIDENCE.
All fOO,s' Day Came ear Claim
ing n Couple IbesirOus of Getting
Married as Victims.

All Fools Day Came Near Claim
ing n Couple Ibesirous of Getting
Married AS Victims.
On Tuesday afternoon last several par
ties talked OF putting up a job to April
Fool County Clerk Andre. A number o.
schemes was proposed. one Of which was
for q member OF the Sheriff's force to cal
on him about midnight and an
nounce that his services were wanted al
once at his Office. Nothing definite, how.
ever, was settled on, as Mr.. Andre at this
period entered tae Office. where the plot
against him was being laid. Among those
who overheard all was Deputy County
Clerk Vsnderleith, who pictured in his
mind his colleagues feelings after
being gotten out Of his bed and after
vending his way through dark streets to
find himself a victim Of ALL Fools Day.
At about half-past 10 O'Clock that night
Mr.. Vanderlieth retired, and while sleep
ing the sleep OF the just he was awakened
by . loud and savage ringing at the door
bell. Arrayed In robe Of white. he peeped
through the lattice shutters OF his room
and inquired what was wanted. I" want
9 marriage certificate at once" said n Of
the two men on the doorstep. "and want
it at once" "All right answered Mr.. V.
Ii You say so we'll meet you at Fred Heit-
mans saloon in ten minutes. GOOD
night" replied the Deputy Clerk, and he
at once returned to his couch and while
laughing and thinking over to himself the
joke that the two men thought was going
to be played on him-and at Heitman's
saloon where 1t would probably take SIS 10
treat the house-he fell asleep and was
soon again in the arms Of Morpheus.
At about midnight the door-bell again
rendered full service, and awakened Mr..
VS. whole household, but as his condition
was comfortable and the night air cool he
decided to remain quietly where he was.
Ding, ding, ding, went the bell, until Mrs.
V. called from a window and inquired
what was wanted. 81 want q marriage
certificate" came q mans voice, " and |
want to see your son." GAN right; good
night" was the answer.
The two men returned TO Heitman's
saloon, and after waiting until nearly /
O'Clock they set out in search OF Clerk
Andres residence, which they succeeded
in finding half an hour later, after falling
over oil-cans and wire fences, all of which
was enough TO make an ordinary mortal
hate his mother. Mr.. Andre was aroused,
and after hearing the wants of the man
DESTROYS Of lettering his condition, he
thought Of the fee in the transaction, and
in less time than il takes us tell 1t the trio
were making all possible haste to reach
the Courthouse. By the time the mar
riage c~ertifica 9 and her lover arrived, the
girl was beginning to wonder if her intend
ed had changed his mind.

Beef For British Troops.

Philip D. Armour .the,renowned Chicago
packer, told an Examiner reporter on
Thursday that his firm has been supplying
the British Government with provisions
for 20 years. Since the Soudan campaign
began they have furnished the British
troops twenty million pounds Of corned
beef. On Wednesday last TIE firm re-
ceived an order from the British Gov
eminent for 5, 400, 900 Of corned beef. As
they had previously been informed that
the troops in the Soudan had
enough to last two years, Mr.. Ar
mour conjectures that England 10
laying in q stock of provisions for
q campaign with Russia. He was asked
what would be the cost OF the 5,4O0, 600
pounds OF beef, ard answered: II guess
1t will be somewhere in the neighborhood
OF $500, 900. l am not so much troubled
about the coin as / am concerning the sup
ply. The demand is 30 great that our
market will be entirely absorbed, and our
employees will be busy day and night.
