THE people IN Dover are still in a
state Of terror over the fact that the town
is infested with a gang of burglars whom
the authorities seem unable to catch.
During the past week there have been
several attempts made to enter houses
aud in one case entrance was effected
and SI75 stolen. Some of the people are
asking why the State detectives are not
put on the case as the officers of the
town seem unable to get any informa-
ton which will enable them to capture
the gang, Last year the same state of
affairs existed until some arrests were
made, when there was peace in the town
until the present. The present raids
bave now been going on for several
weeks.

This glass, which is one of the goblet
shape, holds actually solid half gallon.
and Dusty Rhodes, at the zenith Of his
heaven given thirst, would have to pause
for breath while drinking a half gallon
of liquid.
A Third avepue barkeeper said to a
World reporter: "A man has got to
make a study of this thing of waiting on
people. l make it a rule if a man comes
in here we'll dressed and sober and calls
for a beer in a quiet, we'll bred tone 10
serve him in a flip. If he is a little sun
burned and not so well dressed, and says
'gi me a beer, why I hand him out tall,
straight beer in a thick glass or tumb-
Ter, either Of which happens to be handy.
AS to the schooner, 1 never get a chance
TO make a mistake, because the men who
drink schooners are never backward about
asking for them"
There is a great rivalry among the sa-
loon keepers of the east side. especially
those in the manufacturing district above
TWenty-third street, as TO which shall
serve the biggest glass of beer. Here the
big beer" is the rule. The big beer
is not a schooner" which is a deceptive
affair of false pretense, containing as a
matter of fact, but little more than a
mug A big beer" is a goblet in shape,
but a vase in capacity. 1t rarely holds
less than quart and sometimes reaches
a holding capacity of a half gallon.
The stein or stone mug is coming into
popularity very fast. The dark blue po-
rus stone Jars with pewter handles, may
be found in all the older places about
town east or west, but the highest class
bars are now serving beer in smooth
glazed mugs of a light yellow color, which
are quite expensive, or in a tall blue
stone affair of graceful shape and limited
capacity. These STEMS are always
kept in tank of ice water, or arrayed
upon the top of blocks of ice and are
very cool and inviting.
There has sprung up naturally a NOM
enclature for the various ways in which
beer is served. The different kinds of
big beers are known as "boot legs"
high hats" plug hats" ''knock-outs,'
'schooners," ships" cruisers" Great
Eastern" "teanqster's delight" walking
delegates" "barkeeper's pony" Sweat
ers,' happy days" and "Eifel Tower"
These expressions are in constant use in
the big beer districts. The smaller glasses
of beer are indicated by ''schnitt," flip"
Short ones or she'll The German
when he wants a glass of beer says
'eins." If young American should call
for 'eins," the German proprietor or
barkeeper would probably say. "Eins
what?' ooh, ems beer you know, ems"
young America will reply. Then with
whitening scorn the German may say.
you want a glass of beer; veil why
don't you say So"

we have in this place six kinds Of beer
glasses and TWO kinds Of stems. and that

knowing how to serve a man. and in no
line is it easier 10 make mistake than
in the kind Of glassware you put UP be-
fore a man" This was the statement of
a barkeeper in a fancy" Sixth avenue
establishment. Behind the bar was
glittering display Of glassware. suggest
ing long. cool drinks, and others that are
short but fetching.
The average illustrated catalogue Of a
glassware house shows over SIX hundred
distinct kinds Of glassware intended for
bar use exclusively. OF these at least 100
designs are for the service of beer.
No barroom or cafe in these days, no,
matter how elaborate and pretentious,
can get along without the service OF
draught beer Take the Waldorf cafe or
DelmonicO s. for instance. They were u
long time coming 70 it. but when they
finally yielded 10 the popular demand and
reluctantly agreed TO serve the humble,
but universal beverage, they compromised
by charging just twice what other people
get Tor IL. They serve IL in the most deli
cate Of these imported tumblers, that only
hold enough 10 excite the ire of the man
who wants d good. long. COOL drink.
For many years the only glass in which
beer was served was a handled mug. The
large-szed handled mug is now out Of
date, and can only be found in saloons
under German management on the lower
east side and at picnic grounds where the
style is still popular on account Of the
great number of glasses that can be car
ried. An expert waiter can easily carry
ten handled glasses in either hand. There
has been for some years at Suffers PARK,
on the Harlem, a celebrated waiter who
can carry . glasses in each hand. He
has fingers like the tentacles Of an oc-
topus.
II the bars of Broadway and Sixth ave-
nue. beer is served either in the thin, fine
glasses known as "fiips," or in a very
delicate French goblet known as a shell.
In places of this character thick mugs or
large glasses OF the schooner. bootleg,
or "workingmans" size are never seen.
It is in the Third avenue saloon where
the extremes oftenest meet, and there
barkeepers must be prepared TO serve the
lager in everything from the Zip" which

WHERE is HAoEsY
Different Ideas as to the Location of tho
Internal Regions.

Different Ideas to the Location of tho
Internal Regions.
The ancient philosophers were of the
opinion that the informal regions were
located ut an equal distance from all
parts of the earth S surface, which NAV
be the foundation for the modern idea
which locates hell at the center of our
planet This belief in centrally locat-
ed place of torment or utter annihila-
ton appears to have existed among the
Jews at very early date also. Accord
ing to their belief, there were three pas
sages leading to it-the wilderness, by
which route Dathan, Korah and Abiram
descended; tho sea, because it is written
that Jonah cried to God out of the belly
OF hell, and third passage, which last
was at Jerusalem.
This third and last idea of the mouth
of hell being located in the capital of
Palestine is founded upon the Biblical
passage which says, 1.-The fire of tho
Lord IS in Zion, aud his furnace is in
Jerusalem. The Mohammedans who
are noted for their superstitious regard
TOR the number seven, declare that hell
ls\ provided with seven gates, each in
tended for the followers of the different
religions. The first is for rccreant Mus
sulnans; tho second, very wide and
with shutter always standing invitingly
ajar,l is for Christians only; the third
located near the second and almost as
wldS and roomy, is reserved for Jews;
the fourth cato is the one through which
th9spiritS of the Sabeans will enter the
laid of torment. Like the last two. it is
vide enough to do wholesale business
without crowding. The fifth is a small
loopholo of gate intended for the sect
OF the Mali, sect so insignificant that
the Mohammedans hell idea apparently
Iigrudgingly allowed Il separate opening
Tor their spirits when on the way to
eternal punishment. The sixth gate, the
Fonly circular opening in tho walls of
hell, is the gate by which the pagans
Will enter. Why the pagan gate is be-
lieved to be circular 1 have never seen
explained The seventh gate i'll the
walls of the Mohammedan hell is re-
served for the hypocrites of allreligions
Strange to say, it is one of the smallest
of the gates.

lieved hell to be located OH n comet, and
.i'te ohc hloHlcHt inc canned Wcro SUI
fcrlng i'll the blistering rays Of the sun
and the next i'll cold hundreds of degrees
below zero.
The Christian idea of hell, old as it
Is, gives but very dim outline of the
probable location Of the flake which
burneth forever and ever" also there is
controversy us to whether it really
burns forever and ever" or only has
effects which arc everlasting in their
nature. st. Louis Republic

General Grant In Japanese Ewes.

In The Century is printed transla-
ton OF portions of a quaint Japanese
life of General Grant. The following is
an extract from it:
LII tho spring of his seventeenth year
he expressed great thought to his
father and addressed him, saving, "I
have i'll my mind the thought that,
when four years from today have passed,
shall not be doing this kind of labor. "
The father, thinking it strange thing,
said: DO you hate Your fathers heredi-
tary trade? Do You hate to become
leather maker and spend your life thus?
What profession, then, do you expect to
adopt in future? Do you expect to 90
into tho fields carrying n sickle and
hoe! DO you expect to sell and buy
things in tho market? Or do you fix
your eyeballs upon books of 10, 900 vol
umes, and desire to speculate reasons
and promote moralities, and become q
man of wide knowledgc?" Guarantee
Kuen, replying to these questions, said:
TO cultivate the field and become a
farmer is we'll, but to spend the whole
life as hireling is not we'll To take q
