1t will be seen that of the 5000
saloons, great and small, in New
York city, 2,l32 are mortgaged for
$4,000 and upward, and that ten
firms hold nearly five million
dollars worth of this interest
bearing paper. This does not
necessarily-or, indeed, actually
mean that the ten brewers are
expressing the 2132 saloon-keep-
ers. Of course, both saloon
keeper and brewer find the mort
gag to their advantage, or Meth
.er would enter int it. A brewer
wishes to push his especial brands
of beer. He wishes to have it
sod in as many places as possible.
Men looking about for business
opportunities offer to start saloons
if the brewers will advance the
capital This is the history of a
large part of these mortgages,
although, of course. many repre-
sent disastrous business.
Nor is this all. The World has
included in the list only those If
$1,000 and upward. Below ~ e.
600 there are many times 1000
chattel mortgages for sums from
$15 to ~ 900, mortgages on some
one valuable fixture or on the
whole outfit of u small saloon
keeper. 1t has been said that
only 40 per cent Of the saloons in
New York are free from incumbr-
ances, absolutely out of the con-
troll of the brewers. But it is
thought that this estimate is far
too high. Taking the mortgat e :,
great and small, the number of
saloon-keepers who are not di-
rectlv dependent upon the brew
ers, either little in their debt o

bartenders without the bartender :

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
A Discharged Railroad Agent Kills His
 Father-in-Law and Himself

PHILMoST, N. Y, June 22. A horri- ble case of suicide and murder oc- cured here at 10:15 o'clock yesterday forenoon, of which Harry Kroose and George Jacobi are the victims Kroose was the agent for the Harlem road here, having filled the position for tho last twenty-three years. JacObi was his father in-law, and acted as assist ant agent. Kroose was about 43 years of age and Jaeebi 62. Kroose killed Jacobi by shooting him twice in the back of the head, and then killed him. self by firing q bullet into his own head. The motive for the crime is a mystery, as both were on the friendli- est terms.
 The shooting occurred only a few moments before a passenger train was due. When the train arrived the con ductor and trainmen found the bodies, both having died instantly.
 Kroose shot Jacobi in the back of the head as the latter was seated at the desk writing. Kroose had been discharged and the relief agent was on the train that arrived shortly after the tragedy occurred, to relieve him. There is said to be no shortage in his accounts, but that he had become careless in doing business Kroose leaves a wife and four children, one being a married woman The other children are aged IS, 12 and respect ively

 "Now, Gideon be a man, and ask Philena to accompany you to the pie nic. It's better late than never, and you might get her yet. 1 almost think she likes you htte, and then she re- fused John Haimes, and perhaps you have been mistaken all these years, and she does care for you. Anyway, I believe I'll ask Philena to go to the pie nic with me"
 He started out, and just as he turned the corner who should he meet but Philena. He merely said: Good morn ing, and hurried into the grocery near by as though he really wished to avoid her. He saw her when she returned, but Mrs. Shower was with her, and he returned to his little shop and passed the day in a miserable state of mind
 Day after day went by, and the Fourth was at hand. The load of merry men and women stopped at Dame Cations for Gideon. They had a lumber wagon, with seats placed around the box, and canopy of white duck to protect them from the sun. Gideon took his seat in the wagon. and the horses started off at q lively pace. | Gideon looked around, and there be- side him sat Philena Pray.

 She did not give him chance to continue, for she said;
 You said just now that you would give a good deal to know what I'd say. We'll, l say l am glad you love me, and l am willing to marry you"
 A bright blush mounted her cheek, and when Gideon realized that Philena loved him, he had no use for Elder Whites tongue, for he found his own, and for once said just what he wanted to.
 A small boy came up just then and said; Dinners ready"
 When they arrived at the place where the dinner was served, every one remarked Gideon's "gay and jovial manner and they guessed at the cause, for the small boy .d preceded them and announced that he saw Gid Bright a-kissin' Miss Pray
 That evening as he fingered on the moonlit porch at Parson Pray's, he urged Philena to name day in the near future when she would be his bride.
 When he walked home through the moonlight he really believed that he had kept his resolution and had asked Philena to marry him. He said softly, as he turned the key in the door:
 ''I am glad that l made that Dec laration of Independence

This is what he saw: A short, fat little man, with his hair carefully parted in the back and combed forward over his ears and truth must be told if he was barber) a bald spot on the top of his head. This bald spot had steadily increased in size in spite of all the "vigorsh and "elixirs' that he had regularly applied to it. To-day, as he looked at it, it seemed to be larger than ever. and he said to himself, as he applied the wash:
 Its no use, Gideon, You are get ting old, and you might just as well own it first as last, If you had any spunk at all you'd have been married long ago.
 Just then Deacon Temper came in to have his beard trimmed, and Gideon smilingly advanced to serve his old customer.
 Gideon was very bashful. and always got fdgety and red in the face when ever woman spoke to him, and al ways sad mo" when he meant to say ives" and if he did venture to be agreeable to a lady he always made a dismal failure of it; and so he kept get ting worse, and, although he was very fond of their society, finally avoided them as much as possible.
 Years ago there had been vague rumor afloat that "Gideon was goin to marry Philcna Pray" Gideon heard that rumor and heartily wished that it was the truth, but he knew that, much as he wished it to be so, he had not the courage to find out what she thought about it.
 Philena Pray was the daughter of the village clergyman, and had been a handsome girl, rather above the medi- um height, with flashing black eyes and rosy checks. She was not lacking in spirit and ore day, after Gideon had kept her company for six years and they were no nearer an understanding than they were at first, she made up her mind to bring matters to crisis; and so, when Gideon stepped up to see her home from meeting, she tilted him before them all, and went home with her father.
 Gideon went home in no pleasant mood. As he sat before his fire he ran his fingers through his hair until it stood on end, and then he would rise and pace the floor and talk to himself This was habit he had when ex- cited
 "I declare! It's too badl I don't | know as blame her, either Here I've been going with her for sis gears, and I've never had the courage to tell her how we'll love her. 1 believe she knows that l want her, and she thinks it's time ! told her so, an so it is won't let another day pass over my head without knowin' just what she | thinks
