UNFORTUNATE EVENTS.

Sloan Springs, Ark, is entirely cul
Off from the outside world by high
water.
-Four tons OF dynamite stored at
Romeo, Ills, exploded. No one was
killed.
TWenty.seven persons were killed in
a theatre panic at Baltimore, caused BY
a foolish cry Of fire.
The British steamer Bellerophon sank
the French steamer Emile Heloise.
Thirty persons were drowned.
Arizona Charlie, the bull fighter, was
wounded in the forehead. A friend
was shooting a SNOWFALL off the top Of
his head.
The cruiser kwan-Ping, captured
from China by Japan, was wrecked on
the Pescadore islands. Sixty men and
the officers are missing.
Millions of railroad ties were lost by
the floods in Usage valley, Mo-, and the
losses sustained by contractors and the
railroad companies will be heavy.

Tho Number of Drunkards.

l stated two years ago that there we're APP
p~roximately I, 800, 900 persons who use spir-
Its to excess In the United States. BY excess
Imeant all persons who drank to intoxica-
ton continuously or at long intervals.
These figures were reached from a study
OF the statistics Of persons arrested for in
toxication In the lower courts; also the
general opinion of persons with q wide &C.
q%uaintance among business men, who as
sert that less than 2 per cent Of all drink
ing men come under legal notice.
OF course wide differences of opinion
will prevail until some accurate statistics
are made. Two attempts to make a CEN
sus of drinking men in eastern towns re-
vealed many difficulties and the intensely
morbid desire to conceal the drinking Gus
toms of people. Both of these censuses
indicated one drinking man to every eight
persons and produced a strong conviction
that this was a very low proportion.
Thore are many reasons for believing that
the estimate of l, 800, 900 persons who use
spirits to excess in this country is a mini
mum rather han a maximum statement.
