AT LAST.
A Beautiful, Commodious Union
Depot to Go UP Immediately.

Depot to Go Up Immediately.
STATESMAN reporter bowling around
in search of fresh news yesterday morn
ing, suddenly bumped up against an item
that will be hailed with Joy by the entire
population. The city is to have a
NEW UNION PASSENGER DEPOT,
and it is to be completed by the LIST of
May, large force of men to be put to
work to finish it by that time.
A prominent railroad man in the city
yesterday made all the needed arrange
ments, and the building will be com
menced in few days. This is a dead
certainty.
1t will front on the Avenue 40 feet and
extend back 175 feet. 1t will be only one
story high, but is of beautiful design.
The front is of handsome design, and Will
be surmounted by an ornamental tower.
Along the north side of the front on
the tracks there will extend verandah
twenty feet wide the whole length of the
building, the floor to be of beautiful til
ing.
In the front of the building will be To-
Gated the ticket Office, and just back of
the Office will be the ladies' waiting room.
III the rear will be the baggage and
check rooms.
The interior of the building will be
handsomely and appropriately finished
throughout.
1t is understood that Mr.. M. Butler will
furnish the brick, but that gentleman
could not be found last night, and the re-
port could not be verified. 1t is just
possible, though, that he will do so. One
thing is certain, the depot will be built,
and it will be completed in time for the
great drill.
The building is to cost about $4,000.

The board of directors, at their last

the treasurer is now calling on subscribers
who are coming up with the cash in the

who sold the corporation the lots will &C
cordingly have to wait only few days for
their money.-Fort Worth Gazette.

A Model Prison Manager Issues a
UNIQUE Address.

Captain Neal Ramey, assistant superin-
tendent in charge of the Rusk peniten-

a deal of the milk of human kindness, and

Some time back the genial captain is
sued an address to the convicts I'M

The Chinese Students.

The Ladies' Aid society of the Cumber'
land Presbyterian church have secured
the Chinese students to give one of their
UNIQUE entertainments in behalf of their

together with the lecture, are highly in
structive. They will be here March 5.

The Life-Saving Service.

The life-saving service was created
by act of Congress and has grown
steadily since its creation. Life sta
tons are established at various points
OH the lake and ocean coasts. At
these stations lookout is kept for
boats in distress and aid is sent Tho
manner of rescue is exciting and dam
gerous When the wrecked boat is
approachable (weather and her position
permitting). surf boat is launched
through the breakers, and the life
savers 60 to the rescue. This is at
tended with great danger, and many
deeds of heroism are credited to the
lifc-savers. When not approachable
in this way, mortar is taken to where
the wreck is situated, and cylinder,
with a coil Of rope attached. is fired
across the spars of the boat, when a
larger rope is hauled out by the ship
wrecked sailors. On this is suspended
a little car or receptacle. into which
the crew is placed one at a time and
hauled ashore. Many lives have been
saved and valuable assistance rendered
to shipping by the servioe-Toledt

life of confirmed beer-dr;nker. A
man not addicted to drinking. at the
age of forty, is considered good risk;
beer-drinker aged forty can get
no Observation-Disclosures his life is held
by too precariOus :. tenure. The risk
is too great. These compaA HES are
even more careful against beer-drink-
ers than against whisky guzzlers, be-
cause beer sows the seed of disease
and death in the system and renders
the victim liable to death from an ILL
ness that would be but trif,ing in its
effects upon man of good constitution.
Beer is form of rum which soddens
the brain and vitiates the moral nat
ure. 1t predisposes 70 melancholy,
and it is beginning to be noted in our
cities that :; large percentage of SUI
cides are among persons who use beer
freely. 1t was long ago noted that
this was the case in certain European
capitals. As for its being food.
there is not as much nutrinlent in
barrel of it as in one loaf Of honest
bread. 1t is nauseous to the taste of
one unaccustomed to it. and nothing
but the alcohol in it could ewes induce
any one to swill it down. Deprived Of
its alcohol. it is vile. ill-smelling,
Misunderstanding stuff, not more invit-
ing than 4 draught from swillbarrel.
The Legislature of Ohio recognized
that beer guzzling is.just as much of
al evil us the drinking of any other
form of rum when, few weeks ago,
it removed the distinction in the tax
ing law Of the State and made the
liquor tax the same for all varieties OF
rum-spirituous, malt or vinous.
1t is time that the terrible error that
beer-drinking is comparatively HARM
less by the side of the consumption of
spirits should be corrected. That lie
has been one of the most potent means
through which the rum power has ex-
tended its empire over the people Of
this country. In its effects upon the
confirmed drunkard it is certainly as
bad as whisky. and to the majority it
is but the Introduction 20 the use of
"hard" drinks. Beer should have no
quarter from the friends of Temper
ance. No matter in what form rum
appears, it is drank because of the
alcohol in it, and for the sake of tho
exhilaration which that poison gives
the system in the first stages of drunk
enness There is no safety for any one
who INDUCES in any form of rum
