Beer at $3.50 a Glass.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The Beer-glass no longer schoonC I
The Uuled states revauue officials OF
this city are now experimenting with
the new sized beer-glass for some
mysterious purpose OF their own. But
work has called attention to fact
viii CHI brings sadness to the spirits OF
tnsbeer- tinker and leanness to his
pocket.
The evolution of the beer glass has
nor been accomplished by any evolu-
ten in price, and although the schoO
nj of yore has dwindled down big
wine glass half full of froth. the price
remains unchanged. Time was when
the disciples of Bacchus could pay
out five nickles for five scnooners of
beer, and there by secure mortgage
on moderately comfortable jag. But
now how things have changed! Since
the small glasses have gone into

that the glasses now in vogue contain

keeper saves eighteen glasses out of
each keg. These eighteen glasses net
him an additional profit of 90c on each
keg.
Most OF the bars about town have
done away with the old glasses,
Some few, however, still keep them,
but beer is never served in them dn-

then 10c or 15c are charged, because,
as the bartender says, they hold so

The man who drinks beer, and who

protests forcible against reducing
quantity without reducing price, and
terms it an imposition on his stomach
as well as his pocketbook. Just what
action he will take, or whether he
takes any at all, remains to be seen.
1t is an open question as to whether
he can do without his beer longer
than the saloon-keeper can do with
out his patronage. or his versa. On
the dead quiet, it looks as though
the saloon-keeper had the cinch.

How He SwIndied Him.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Strange to say, even the keeper of
one of the chief hotels in cosmopolitan
Paris is not proof against the wiles of
the enterprising adventurer. A week
or two ago gentleman in elegant
attire knocked at the door of mine
host, and explained that he was a
naval officer who had come to Paris
for the purpose of receiving $4,000
francs which had been left to him.
He was treated. with every consider
alton and after some days ne announ-
ced: This Is the day. The money will
be handed to me at once. Let us take
carriage, and after receiving my
check will drive to Sursnes and will
treat you and Madame to a grand din.

the dinner, the marine officer cried
gayly and off they went and ate and
drank and were merry. after dinner
the heir felt for his checks, but the
obliging hotel keeper politely said,
Never mind changing a check at this
place. Let me lend you four louis dor
and we can settle everything together
when we get home. The marine off,
Ger agreed, went out of the room to
pay and was not seen again. The

A Female SmuggIer Defeated

From tho New York Sun.
A wealthy cabin passenger who
landed from the Arizona on Sunday.
and who for his wife's sake does not
care to have his name published,
tells the following story:
On Wednesday night when turn
ed into my berth 1 found myself very
restless, and about o'clock Thurs
day morning, being still unable to
sleep, I determined to 90 on deck and
as it was blowing rather hard,
carried with me a well-worn light
summer overcoat that had not used
in a long time. AS the breeze, though
strong, was rather warm, however, 1
had no need of the coat, so L looked
for some place to lay it down until I
had finished my cigar. Then l MOTTO
ed how shabby it was, and 1 held 1t up
by the collar, wondering whether 1
! had better throw it overheard or keep

| it to some poor man. A sudden gust
of wind decided the question for me.
1t filled the old coat like q balloon,
dragged q mile to leeward. thought
| 1t was q whimsical incident, and at
breakfast tried to make my wife
laugh by telling her about it, but ID
did not amuse her at all. On the con-
trary she was so distressed that she
hastily left.the table lest any one
should see her sorrow, and when
followed her TO our stateroom found
her in tears.

Between you and me she is more than
ordinarily sensible woman, and II
seemed impossible that the loss of q
WORKOUT overcoat should have thus
opened the fountains of her grief,

The hottest and dullest month of
the year has closed, and our mayor is
still absent and no news from our city
attorney. Letus hope that the winds
OF September will blow over q full

ence or the active cellar work on the
new court house. 1t Is plainly day
job that will absorb all the hitherto

1t is the first departure of the coun-
ty in giving out its jobs; the lowest
and best bidder has been the rule,
but now the court goes into business
on it's own account.
