NOMINATIONS
BEER .


Those who do not keep track of the
progress of beer in this country will
doubtless be surprised to read that during
the last beer year no less than 81 ,475, $40
barrels were produced in the United States,
an increase of nearly five per cent.ov the
product of the year previous. New York
led off to the tune of 9,512,549 barrels;
then came Pennsylvania with 3,129, ,733
barrels, Illinois with 2,Sse, 1854 barrels, Ohio
with 2, 1850, ,295 barrels and Wisconsin with
1905, ,6sS barrels. 1t will be observed as
a curious circumstance that although Mil
waukee and Cincinnati have closer ira
ditional connection with the making of
lager than any other cities in the country,
the States to which they belong by no
means head the list. In fact, the growing
popularity of st. Louis beer is shown by
the fact that over 10000 barrels were
made in Missouri; and New Jersey and
Massachusetts produced moro than a mil
lion each. In only six States is no beer
made-these being Arkansas, Florida,
Maine, Mississippi, North Carolina and
Vermont.
Those who do not drink beer or believe
in it will find these figures melancholy
reading, and those who both believe in
beer and drink it may feel melancholy
when they think that of all this vast guam
tity of beer 80 little of it was really good.
And it would be interesting to calculate
how much was added to the beer in foam.
Probably not less than ten million barrels
of foam would fairly represent the in

from the hall behind him. The child
turned and began to totter, and q horrified
cry arose from the street. Officer Snv-
der's hand shot out and he held the boy in
his arms.
Only for q moment, however. for a vo-
man in whose face there was not a bit of
color snatched the child from the officers
arms, and then dropped limp and fainting
to the floor. The big-eyed boy looked
about him curiously, while the room began
to fill up with people. The mother of the
child, for SO she proved, chung tenaciously
to him. When she became calmer she
said she had been in the Probate court
room, and her boy was playing and romp-
ing in the hall. She had not been aware
that he was elsewhere until she heard the
people rushing down the hall
He had pushed open the door of the va
cant room and climed up on a chair to the
open window. The officer chided the wo-
man for her csrelessness, but she was so
happy at the escape of her boy that she
paid little attention to his words, but
showered passionate kisses on the child's
face. She was a comely looking and
youthful German and spoke English with
difficulty. She would not give her name,
and left clasping the child to her breast.
A sigh of relief went up from the
crowd, which had blocked the sidewalks
and extended across the street when the
child was taken inside. 1t necessitated
the stoppage of vehicles and street cars,
for in the suspense of the awful sight not
a spectator moved, while q wondrous a.
lence was caused by the unwonted specta-
Gle. The passengers on the cable trains
craned their necks out of the cars to get a
sight of the child, and many women turned
away with frightened faces, as If to avoid
witnessing the anticipated fall.

RIELD ANN THE CARLE.

Call no man happy until he is dead, said
the sage, and the wisdom of this counsel
has been notably illustrated in the case of
Cyrus w. Field, who died yesterday after
q series of misfortunes which called out
the sympathy of all wherever his name
and fame were known. Having lost most
of his fortune and his good wife, fate dealt
him a final and crushing blow in the col
lapse of his son Edward, and his last days
we're days of deep trouble of mind as well
as bodily suffering. 1t was a sad ending
of great career.
Mr.. Fields chief title to lasting remem-
brance will be his work in connecting this
country with Europe by the Atlantic
cable. 1t is we'll TO look back and see
in the face of scientific and unscientifc
doubt and opposition, Mr.. Field toiled
with astonishing persistence, skill and
ability until the..cable was laid and success
fully operated. The difficulties which at
tended this enterprise were very great and
would have discouraged an ordinary man.
Mr.. Field visited England more than forty
times soliciting subscriptions to the capital
stock of the first Atlantic Cable company.
Finally the money was raised, his sub
scription being to the amount of
| one-fourth of the capital stock, and
the scheme was well under way.
The first two attempts to estab-
lish communication were fiat failures, bui
in 1868 the third cable was successfully
laid. But it only worked two weeks, the
public lost faith in the scheme and the
civil war made 1t impossible to do any
thing more while it lasted. But Mr.. Field
did not lose faith, and in 1865 he was able
to obtain the necessary capital to lay
another cable, and then he again began the
work upon which he had spent 80 many
means over, for after 1900 miles of the
new cable had been paid out from the
Great Eastern, which had been secured fol
the purpose, it parted, and the steamer re-
turned to England. Another cable had tc
be constructed, and a year later anothe,
ern, and this time the attempt was sue
cessful, telegraphic communication being
establis between the two countries on
July 81, 1866. Afterwards the broken end
of the cable which was laid in S65 was
fshed up by the Great Eastern; it was
spliced and completed, thus making two
cables in successful operation. Since that
time many other cables have been laid
and at no time has telegraphic communi
cation with Europe been interrupted for 6
single day:
He received praise and honor in full
measure for this wonderful achievement
and his name will be forever spoken II
connection with ocean telegraphy. Though
his life went out in gloom, his fame viii
be bright and enduring.

High above their heads on a narrow cor
nice that runs around the fourth floor of
the County building stood three -year-old
boy. The breeze that came up from the
lake tossed his yellow curls about his
laughing face as he playfully swung his
arms about and looked at the ever-increas-
