Talmage is polite, genial man,

me how much Sam Jones was paid.
Several of the Tabernacle trustees
were Just as reticent as their pastor
on that point. andit was only by q
whole day of inquiry that | learned
with fair certainty that the revivalist
came to Brooklyn under no de6nite
agreement as to remuneration He
was lodged and fed at the homes of
wealthy members ofthe church, Of
course, and during bis stay Talmage
frequently handed to him small sums
to defray his insigni6cabt personal
expenditures. At the close OF his
visit a trustee gave to him $1,000,
which he at first said was too much,
but took it on being urged. IL isun-
dCrstood that he used some Of it in
buying books for religious library,

remainder supported him through the

From the Cleveland Leader
It's said that drinking is decreas-
ing in Washington. | do not, believe
this to be so. Fewer people drink at
the saloons, perhaps. but II has come
to be that every public man has bis
cellars stocked with wines and bran
dies. and liquors, are sold by the
quantity instead of by the glass. -
All Of the grocery stores at Washing
ton keep large stocks Of liquors, from
extra dry champagne downito very
cheap article ofiwhiskey, and you will
ind wine stores in nearly every
block. In no city of the United
States, except, perhaps, New Orleans
is there so much wine drunk Ia pro-
portion to the population. Many
families never sit down to meal
without having wine onsthe table, and
ct Washington hotel where public
men stop it is the rule to take bot.
tie Of wine with your dinner With
10 the last few years punch has be-
come very popular at Washington
and you will now end big punch
bowl at almost every fashionable
gathering. 1t Is quite an art TO make
o fine Washington punch, and takes
very little of the regular article to
cause the head to swim. Que recipe
contains the ingredient whisky.
rum, claret. champagne, sugar and
lemons A little water added to this
and you have drink that will put
an old topper under the table after half
of his usual allowance. Still this
stuff is given to young men aud maid
ems.
There is a good deal Of difference
In the United States as to drinking
Men from the North and East and
from California drink wine, while
those from the West and South take
whisky or beer .Kentuckyians US
ually take whisky straight and Wis
consonians are fond of their own
