- HE people of the United States
are expected to drink at least
IS. 900. 900 barrels of beer a year
as Ions as the war lasts. and the gov
eminent Of the United States expects to
derive s35, 900. 900 revenue annually
therefrom. T~hirty-nve million barrels
is more than the people have been
drinking. but Through a knowledge OF
a strange phase OF human nature. the
government is able to ~prognosticate a
greater consumption of beer in the i'm
Mediate future years than a been In
the Immediate past. In times OF great
nervous strain, whatever may be the
cause Of the strain. more beer Is con-
sumed than in times more %equable.' For
instance. people consumed more beer
in 1898. the darkest veal Of u recent
history, thar in any other year OF the
decade. Notwithstanding there appeared
to be less money among the people
with which to buy stimulants. For the
auieting OF the temperance folk. 1t Is
we'll to state that the consumption or
distilled liquors has been steadily on
the decrease during all the years Of the
present decade. In 1891 people drank
1.s7 gallons OF spirits and wines per
CAPITA. and in 1897 people drank only
l.54 gallons. The year of highest con-
sumption in these liquors was the year
OF the panic. when people drank per
capita 1.ss gallons.

politically Is open to the objection that
the steam navy is not necessarily a per-

fences off the American continent, in
Professor Smiths opinion, more eff

actual steam power that science will

FATE OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Europe Will Have No Cause to Inter

veme.
Chicago, May S.-A special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
THE representatives Of foreign "
ernments are taking great interest in
the conflict between the United States
and Spain. They are specially con-
cerned at present in the fate OF the
Philippines and discussing the possi-
bility of Interference by h powers.
The consensus Of opinion seems to be
that il the United States should con-
clude to retain possession of the con-
quered islands in the Pacific. the Eu-
ropean powers will nave no cause to
interfere.
Attention is also called to the fact
that with the capture of the Philip
pines the United States also claim
the Marianne. Pelem and Corrine ISL
ands. A foreign diplomat whose opin-
ion is entitled to consideration In dis
cussing the situation says:
European statesmen are very much
gratified to note that the United
States appears determined to handle
strongly. When the newspapers first
asserted that only 10000 soldiers were
/ sent to reinforce Admiral Dewey and
make permanent the fruits of his VIC
tory considerable uneasineee was felt.
II would be a physical impossibility to
police 5000. 900 or 5000. 900 OF inhabitants

number Of men. Under o good mill
tary government IL would require 10000
! for administrative purposes alone. The
proposition to transport $4,000 soldiers
to this conquest is more hke q business
proposition.
"'It may surprise some Americans to
know that Dewey's victory carries

than was ever decided by the issue OF

The unceasing desire to regulate every

curious instances Of Interference with free

such regulation, but its practical effect
Is to create a monopoly and to occasion

rhs Man That yyomen IiI.e.

The Washington Women's Literary So
ciety recently offered prize for the best
answer TO the question, What kind Of a
man does woman most admirei'
Here is the winning answer: 1.-THE man
must interest by uncommonness, either in
appearance or manner, or he must have
that Understandable quality called charm. He
must know his own mind and steadily
work thereto, even to masterfulness.
HE disregards they say and is not one
of a herd. His friends are men, not WON
en-. He is only once deceived by the same
person. His perhaps hasty temper never
runs to unkindness. He needs sympathy
and solace in a sometimes divine discon-
tent. He abides under no failure, but goes
steadily on. His occasional want of sue
cess only attaches and rivets his determj-
nation"

no SAFE REALLY BURGLAR PROOF.
Give burglars Time and They Can Get
Into Amy Safe, Says a Maker.

A reporter asked the manager OF ono Of
She biggest safe building concerns In the
world whether a safe had ever been built
that was absolutely burglar proof.
"Thero never was, he replied Most
big safes are called burglar proof, but thoy
are not. No man can build thing that
some other man cannot unbuild. Now
here's n safe, he said, leading the re-
porter TO the back Of the store, THAT Is as
near burglar proof rs any made. i"
The safe he pointed 10 looked like a
solid block OF steel, with two enormous
hinges In front and a steel lever that ran
across the block diagonally The door
was round
THAT safe,' said the manager, sis
almost what Ii appears TO be, solid
block, but a properly equipped burglar
could get into It nevertheless, provided he
had time IL Is this question of time that
makes 1t possible for us to be more or less
truthful when we speak of the safe as
burglar proof. 1t requires so much time
to get one of them open that before the
work can be done IL Is almost certain that
somebody will come around. and then the
Jig Is up. BY the way, u Is mistake to
talk about blowing safe open Most
people have an idea that burglar comes
along, punches hole in the safe and
throws in lot OF dynamite, which he
touches off. What the burglars do is 10
drill hole In the door near the combina-
ton, and then, by exploding small guam
tity Of powder, or sometimes only car
fridge, smash the combination. This en-
hbles them to work at it with their fingers,
and the opening of the safe Is not so diff
cult a job, though explosions of this kind
have been known to lock safes tighter than
they were locked before-so tight, In fact,
that they could not DO opened without a
second explosion and the use of largely
increased amount Of powder. Burglars
will not, as a rule. take chances on that,
for, don't care how nervy they are. the
noise of the first explosion never fails to
brighten them half to death. New York
