BEER SOLD I'm sIPHoNs.
A New Idea which the THIRTY Ger
man Takes To.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
A new way of delivering beer to con-
sumers at their homes has recently
been introduced in Germany and is
rapidly meeting with popular favor.
Beer is now delivered in jugs contain
ing gallon and half, which are her
metically closed with a metallic cover
containing a siphon, from which the en-
tife apparatus has taken it's name,
''The Beer Sip!1on.' The jug itself Is
Of strong glass, SO that the contents
can be seen at all times. From
carbonic acid gas reached down
almost to the bottom Of the jug. A
valve within permits only enough of
the gas to escape into the jug to fill up
the space Of the beer that has been
drawn from the faucet. A safety valve
OH the top Of the cover prevents the
possibility of an accident IL the valve
inside should give out, that Is, IL too
much gas Is allowed to escape INTO the
jug proper. All metal parts of the out
side are nicleled, while the metal parts
on the inside coming in contact with
the beer are covered with galvanized
tin The siphon is easily carried by
means Of a handle. The temperature
Of the beer can be very easily regulated
In these siphonS.
The siphons themselves are not solid,
but bottlers deliver the siphons filled
with any kind Of beer desired at the
consumers house and call again for the
siphons five days later. AS the beer
will keep in a siphon better than bot
ties, no matter how we'll corked, it will
be seen that beer drinkers will prefer
this method of getting their favorite
drink delivered. The siphons are very
easily cleaned under pressure of car
bonic acid gas, and since the price OF
beer is no higher delivered in this man
ner than in ordinary bottles, the rapid
and successful Introduction of the
siphons Is thoroughly explained.

sorts Of monuments will be gone into.

ROW OVER A WOMAN
Results in Frank McBeth BeinE
knitted

We were just having a merry
christmas when he got sore about a
woman and stuck the knife into me,
but it don't amount to much, and if
the police had not interfered I would
not have brought any charge against
him. The speaker was Frank Nc
Beth, negro porter employed at Re
ber's cafe, and he referred in his re-
marks to Frank Lanier. another ne
gro, who was locked up at the central
police station last night on the charge
OF assault with a dangerous weapon
McBeth had small wound in the
cheek, near the left eye, and another
in the back Of his head, which he
claimed Lanier had inflicted with a
penknife during row in a Robert
street resort yesterday afternoon. The
police heard Of the affair last night,
and after an investigation took both
men into custody, holding McBeth,
however, only as a witness. DR..
Brimhall examined McBeth's wounds
and was Of the opinion that they were
not necessarily made by a knife.
Lanier claims he simply struck Nc
Beth with his fist. The mans injuries
are in no wise serious. Lanier is a
porter in the railroad service and lives
on Wacouta street. between Fourth
and Fifth streets. where he was ar

LOST HIS RIGHT EYE.
Accident to a Belt Terribly Mains
Charles Lintner.


A serious accident occurred at the
power house of the City Railway com
pany on Hill street shortly after noon
yesterday, by which Charles Lintner, a
dynamo tender, received injuries which
may prove fatal, in addition to losing
the sight of his right eye. A flying
splinter from a dynamo casing, which
was shattered by the slipping of O.
rapidly revolving belt from a pulley.
entered the young mans mouth, pen
etrat1ng the roof and pushing the eye
from the socket. It is thought that the
splinter may have pierced the brain,
though this fact Is not yet fully estab-
hshed. Should the contrary have been
the case, there Is no danger of a fatal
fty attending the accident
Lintner, who is twenty-five years of
age, was engaged In his regular duty
of oiling the dynamo machinery when
the accident occurred. He was leaning.
over with his head beside the wooden
casing, which partly covers the dyna-
mo, when the belt slipped off the pull
ley. In an instant the huge piece of
leather had shattered the covering 60
bits and Lintner fell to the floor with
cry of pain. 1t was some time before
the machinery could be stopped, and,
when superintendent Olson reached the
young mans side, he found he could
not talk, but an examination of the
injured mans mouth, which was
decked with blood, showed the piece
Of wood firmly imbedded in the palate
The central police station was notified
Of the accident, and, on his way to the
scene, Lieut.. Boerner met Dr. Bole
who hurried to Lintner's assistance
When the splinter was withdrawn
blood spurted from the patients mouth
in a small stream, though he retained
consciousness through the ordeal. The
right eye hung an inch below the sock
ct on the check, and, realizing the Sc
rious nature Of the injuries, DR.. Bole
at once ordered the young man taken
to the city hospital.

ner, employed in Minneapolis as an
electrician, VINO was Immediately nott-
fed Of the accident and at once came
to st. Paul The brother called upon
DR.. Fulton and an operation was per
formed by which the eye was removed.

case is one Of dangerous possibilities.

that such was not the case. Lintner

MRS. MOUNTFORD's ACCOUNT.
She Gives a Graphic Description Of
the Original Christmas.

Mrs. Lydia Mamroeff Won Finkel-
stein Mountford chose a very appro-
pirate subject for her last evenings
lecture ait Peoples church. She held
an appreciative audience spellbound In
her talk upon the birth of Christ and
the customs Of the people at that time.
Having been born and brought UP In
Jerusalem, Mrs. Mountford was en-
abled to add to her lecture a deScrip-
tive picture which was intense in it's
elcquence. Mrs. -Mountford is pos
sessed Of remarkable dramatic ability.
She throws it's full effect into her lee
lures, and intensifies it with living
representations Of the people and their
habitations.
Last evening Mrs. Mountford erect
ed a canvas picture upon the stage
showing a faithful representation of
the Church of the Nativity, erected
over the spot upon which the Savior
is supposed to have been born, also a
typical inn OF the period and other
scenes.
The lecturer was assisted by fifteen
people. who were dressed in the cos
tunes Of the Jewish people at the
time Of Christ's birth, which costumes
remain about the same at the present
period.
Mrs. Mountford graphically de-
scribed the inn, the customs and char
acteristics Of the people, giving practi-
cal living pictures Of the scenes en-
acted after the birth Of Christ, when
the shepherds crowded their way into
the inn and found Jesus, whose COM
ing had been prophesied.
1t was not difficult for the shepherds
to find the object of their search.
They had been told in the prophecies
that the child which they sought
would be clad in swaddling clothes of
royal colors. The people had all been
summoned to Jerusalem to pay their
taxes, and ais Mary, the mother of the
child, was a direct descendant of roy
atty, she herself was dressed in her
royal raiment, which had been handed
down to her through generations. Mrs.
Mountford believes that Joseph and
Mary were not poor people, but that
on the contrary they were endowed
with considerable wealth The Scrip
lures say that Mary returned from
Jerusalem to her "own house." and
Mrs. Mountford says that in order to
be enrolled upon the records, at that
time, and even today, one must have
possessions of his own, and must be
the sole owner, or the living soul'' of
the family. The lecturer further said
that the fact that Mary and Joseph
were Quartered In the manager did not
at all prove that they were poor Dur
ing the period Of tax collections In
Jerusalem at that period all the inns
were crowded to their utmost, and
when their capacity was overtaxcd,
the late corners were forced to take
what quarters they could find, much
as it is in modern times. The late
Corners were assessed exorbitant sums
even for the privilege OF sleeping in
the stables. Another reason why the
lecturer assumes that Mary was well
provided with worldly effects was
that she herself went to Jerusalem for
the purpose Of paying her taxes, and
to publicly announce her marriage to

PETE WAS HERE.
De Gang Was Wild Him and Dey
Sang Low'-No Brick Bats

The following distinguished (?)
personages crossed their feet under
the Pratt dining tables yesterday,
while awaiting an Iron Mountain
train out of here for the East; Pete
Maher, Pete Lowery, Pete Burns,
Jim Hall, Mike Conway, John j.
Quinn and Jerry Marshall. The
party had been down in Mexico
looking tor what they did not find
"a soft snap, and were not in as
hilarious a humor on their return
trip as they were when going out
on the hunt.
Peters eyes did not have that
sanded expression we expected to
see them wear, after his experience
with the alkali dust, and the bump
on his jaw was conspicuous for its
absence, though we were told it
was there, but that Peter was
wearing it up under his hat near
the cautious bump. He had de-
jected look about him, and any at
tempt on his part to smile was
quickly dispelled by his remem-
brance of what took place in Mex
leo.
He will 90 to New York with his
gang of sluggers and take. up their
old quarters on the BOwery, and
when a chance offers, will go into
some business that will furnish
them beer money. Fitzsimmons is
king of the fstic ring now, and is
so crowned by all the bruisers in
the world, with the single excep-
tion of Corbett, and he will be so
regarded until Corbett can get a
match out of the nimble kangaroo
and snatch, if he can, the crown
and sceptre from his,possession.
