Women Who Buy Whisky.

Il am daily surprised at the amount of
sauce made and the numbe, OF sick peo-
pie who need whisky in this city, said
an F street liquor dealer last evening
These are the two explanations given by
ladies who come to buy whisky BY the
pint or quart. Ladies come here regular
ly, some with the sauce excuse, and 9TH
ers for sick people"
Do they know good article of whisky
when they get it,"
They seem TO find it out some way, but
IT they speak very particularly MS to the
quality of what they want and are invited
to sample the liquor they are promptly
shocked, saying that they never tasted it
in their lives, and wouldn't know
whether it is good or bad, but that they
can tell when 1t is in the sauce
Doesn't it seem odd, " he continued
that ladies never buy whisky nor wine
without explaining what they are going
to do with ii? Just think OF one of them
buying pound OF tea and saying that
they do or they don drink it, But of the
hundreds of lady customers who present
themselves here | think that not five per
cent. begin without an explanation of Just
what they intend doing with it.
DO men use the same tactics?'
"A ia rd of them will talk about med
icinal purposes, but as y rule they are
ready to sample the goods. Some VIII o
never are seen to go into n restaurant and
drink at the bar are shy and depend on
the dealer for the quality of the liquor.

A Tourists Odd Adventure.

A company of tourists arrived in Paris
recently, and in the evening a number of
them strolled out Oh to the boulevards,
and gradually got separated in the crowd,
says the London NelrS. They all re-
turned to their hotel, however, in good
time, with one exception. One gentle
man had missed his friends, and, after
vainlv endeavoring to regain sight of
them, he found himself in a most I'M
pleasant position, for, having trusted i'm
picitly to the conductor, he had neglect
ed to take note of the. hotel at which the
patty was staying, and did not even know
exactly where it was He looked about
till two o'clock in the morning, but.
strangely enough, could meet with no
one who could speak Eng ish An inter
prefer to whom he was taken quoted the
names of a number Of Partisan hotels.
but he failed to distinguish among them
the name OF the one at which he was
staying. The interpreter kindly allowed
him to lie down and rect ia his Office for
two or three hours after which he re-
newed his search but still without sue
cess, though, as suhsequ, ntlv appeared.
he must have passed the hotel twice.
At length getting dishearlened and
thinking that the only way to discover
the rendezvous of his party was to come
home to Luton to ascertain it, he hailed
cab, and, driving to the Northern sta
ton, entered a train and started. He
arrived in Luton on Sunday night much
TO the surprise Of his wife, who had not
been expecting to see her husband for
some days, and she was probably even
more astonished on learning the cause of
his hurried visit home Before starting
out from Luton each of the party had
been furnished with several envelopes
bearing the pointed ADDRESS Of the hotel
whore they were to stay while in Paris.
Obtaining one of the envelopes, he re-
turned Immediately. The party had been
greatly alarmed cat his prolonged alb
sence, and search party had visited the
Prefecture of Police the hospitals. and
even the morlUe and inspected the
bodies l7ing there, but of course, could
find no trace of him, When the incident
was explained his friends were, rs may
be imagined, very much amused.

A connection was caused by a car on
one of the up-trains of the Consolidated
Railroad yesterday. we'll dressed lady

George Sluthour, born and raised in
New Philadelphia, Ohio, a poor boy,
started West about fifteen years ago, de-
termined to make his fortune. He be-
came faro gambler and in a few years
was worth $500, 900 Sluthour was anx-
ious to be worth million before return
ing to his old home, and one night, when
the room was filled with well-known
sporting men, many of them worth their
half million, he determined to try for Il
big strike. Luck again favored him, and
by ; o'clock in the morning he had
broken the bank and won enouqht to make
his fortune count a cool million. He was
not satisfied with this, but kept on play
ing the next night. That very night he
began losing, and before morning every
dollar he had won the night before had
vanished. He was millionaire. how
ever, for one short day.
Even with this loss he was still pos
sessed of an ample fortune, but he began
playing a desperate game, risking thou
sands of dollars at a time, but luck was
against him. His princaly fortune en-
tirely disappeared. The sad sequel to
the case is that he has been brought
home hopelessly insane. Finally it was
found necessary to take him to the Coun-
ty Intirmary, where he is now confined in
the insane ward. -Scranton Republican.

HaAes a Crowded Region.

correspondent writes to the New
York Sun: In round numbers the earth
has a population of l,3O0, 000,00I. Of
whom SOC, 900, 600 are professed Chris
tians the other loco, 0O0, 900 being No
hammedans. Buddhists, Jews, pagans and
heather The whole race was condemned
TO eternal punishment for the sin of
Adam This was the fall of man, from
which there was and is no redemption
save through the death of Christ
Biblical chronology gives the earth a
period of about 5000 years. From
Adams time to Christ was :, -; years,
during which period no human souls were
saved. The population may then have
averaged 1000, 000, 600. Three genera
tions, or 1905, Gee, 600, pass away in each
century. Forty centuries, therefore, con
signed l20, 900, 900, 600 of men to eternal
ire, and, for all We know, they are there
now. In the 1900 wears which have
elapsed since the birth of Christ 81 600,
zoe, 900 more of human beings have lived
and died. If all the Christians, nomi-
nal and real, who have ever lived on the
face of the earth have been saved, they
would not number more than eighteen
thousand millions. Now, if we deduct
this latter number from the grand total OF
one hundred and seventy seven thousand
millions, we find one hundred and fifty
nine thousand millions of souls who are
suffering in the torments of hell fire, as
against the eighteen thousand millions
who have escaped. But this is not the
whole truth. Nobody believes that more
than ten per cent. of the professed Chris
tians are saved. Calvinists themselves
say that the elect are few. If this is d
fact, heaven contains but eighteen hun
bred millions, against a population in
hell of one hundred and seventy-f
thousand millions.
