finally MT. Knutsen offered to wager of beer in one day. The bet was taken by John Boehler of 919 Ann avenue, and it was stipulated that the loser should pay for the beer The money was put up and yesterday set for the trial.
 MT. Knutsen did not show up at the saloon until after o'clock, and the others thought that he had weakened. he announced himself ready for the effort. He sat at the table and drank fifteen glasses at one sitting. Then after rest of a few minutes he start ed again. At noon he had gotten away with sixty-five glasses and was still sober. He had business up town, and left to attend to this, returning g at o'clock, ready for some more beer During the trip up town he drank eight or ten glasses of beer, but this | did not count on the wager.
 Close count was kept and at 4 o'clock i in the afternoon he had completed his l task and was still as sober as the pro verbal judge He did not appear to think that he had performed such a wonderful feat, for he offered to make another wager of $100 to $50 that he could repeat the performance before 12 o'clock. There were no takers, so MT. Knutsen continued to drink just to pass away the time.
 1 At 10 o'clock a Republic reporter called at the saloon and found MT. Knutsen sitting at table with glass of beer in front of him. He accepted an invitation to drink, and after fin ishing the glass on the table walked over to the bar as straight as if he had never taken a drink. He stated that all together he had consumed 166 glasses of the amber fluid and did not feel any the worse Before the re7 porter left MT. Knutsen had finished his one hundred and si%ty-eighth glass and seemed ready for more. He said that he would drink only eight or ten more before he retired for the night.
 The new champion is about 40 years of age and, strange to say, is not a regular beer drinker. He says that for days he never touches the bever- age, and when he does drink it is only five or six glasses each day. He said he did not feel the effect of the many beers any more than a fullness such as he would have if he had eaten bird dinner.-St. Louis Republic.

CHAMPION BEER DRINKER.
St. Louis Man Consumes 16S Glasses
 in One Day Without Trouble.

St. Louis yesterday gave new champion to the world. His name is Nelson Knutsen and the feat in which he excels probably any other man in the world is ability to drink beer. This he demonstrated yesterday to the com plete satisfaction of man with whom he had made bet that he could drink 120 glasses of the foaming fluid during the course of the day. Compared to the performance of this man, the ef- forts of Colonel Slupsky pale into in significance.
 Knutsen is horse and cattle deal CT and lives at 929 Ann avenue. On Thursday evening. with several com panions, he was sitting in Schnelker's saloon, 1922 Ann avenue. The conver- sation turned on the question of how many glasses of beer a man could drink in day. One of the party told of man in Germany who drank 100 glasses in day, and Mir. Knutsen said that he could get away with more than that. This led to a discussion and

EATING BEFORE GOING TO BED

A writer in Italia Termale, quoted by the National Druggist, December, is not much in favor of the theory that late suppers are injurious. He declares, in fact,'' says the latter pa per, "that many persons who remain thin and weakly, in spite of all pre- cautions in regard to diet, etc., owe the fact largely to habitual absteml- ousness at night He says, very truly, that physiology teaches us that, Tn sleeping as in waking there is per petual waste going on in the tissues of the body, and it seems but logical that nourishment should be cont1nu- ous as we'll The digestion or the food taken on at dinner time, or in the early evening, is finished as a usual thing, before or by bedtime, yet the activity of the processes Of asslm1- lation, etc., continues for hours af- terward; and when one retires With an empty stomach, the result of this activity is sleeplessness and an undue wasting of the system. All other creatures,' says the writer, outside of man are governed by natural 1n- stinct which leads those having a stomach to eat before lying down for the night The infant. guided by the same instinct, takes the breast ire i uuently, in the night as well as day, and if its stomach is allowed to re- main empty too long, it shows it's dis comfort by noisy crying. The diges- tive organs have no need for repose
 provided, always, that the quantity oi nourishment taken within the twenty
 four hours does not go beyond the
 normal limit. The fact that the in- tervals between meals is short works
 no inconvenience. but, on the con- i trary, tends to the avoidance of fee i bleness, which is the natural result
 of an interval extended to too great g length. Feeble persons, lean and emaciated people, and. above all, those
 suffering from insomnia, owe it tc ] themselves not to retire without talk l ing some nourishment into the stom
 ach-bread and butter, a glass of -ricf
 milk, few biscuits (icrackersD. ol
 even a bit of juicy meat, for instance
 We quite agree with the writer in al
 that he says in regard to the folly O the idea of the harmfulness of a ligh lunch before retiring"

Short History of the Book of Com man Prayer" (Thomas Whittaker) is an instructive little handbook of the prayer book that will be of service to those wishing to learn something of it's history and spirit.
 Charles Scribner's Sons publish "A National Church." by the Rev Dr. w R. Huntin gton.' It is an appeal to Episcopalians to recognize the inherent Americanism of their church. He be- lieves the Episcopal church to be na- tional in the sense that is fitted in a peculiar way to satisfy the religious needs of Americans.
 The Macmillan company brings out another number of the excellent Mod ern Readers Bible" series, edited by Professor Richard G. Moulton. It con- tains the gospels of St. Matthew and St. Mark and the general epistles.
 From Thomas Whitaker comes 'The Ritschiian Theology and the Evangelical Faith" by Professor James Orr, of Edinburgh The sketch of Ritschl and the school of theology called after him given by the author is at once clear and concise Ritsch- lianism is nothing very formidable, after all. though, in the opinion of its critics, it is apt to lead to serious per versions of the faith in many funda- mental matters. It lays stress on sub- jective feelings and personal experi- ences as the ultimate facts in religion It therefore condemns the discussion of speculative theology as useless and looks upon such doctrines as the Trim ity and the Incarnation as metaphv- sical rather than religious. It also at taches little importance to external evidences of Christianity. making much of Christ's words. "The King dom of God is within you.''
 1 Albrecht Ritschl's monumental work Justification and Reconcilia- tion." appeared in 1870, and today his disciples hold chairs in all the leading German universities. His theology has also penetrated to this country, and it's most prominent exponent is said to be Professor Arthur c. McGiffert oi the Union Theological seminary ir New York city.

 It is now generally known to admir- CTS of the late Sir Frederick Leigh tons pictures that the model who is represented on nearly all his canvases since his famous painting, "Cymon and Iphigenia," is Miss Dorothy Dene of London. Miss Dene is said to be the most beautiful woman in Eng 1 land. Each line of her face and figure is purely classical, her height is rath- CT above the average, her limbs are long and 1.-the and her neck and shoulders are exquisitely moulded Her eyes are violet, her complexion is perfect, and her hair golden, wavy and plentiful Miss Dene's features can be readily recognized in the re- 1 clining figure in "Cymon and Iphige- nia," in the maiden who is catching the ball in Greek Girls Playing Ball" an in Summer Moon,' where her beautiful arms may be noted. Miss Dene is extremely popular in England, where she is not only recognized as queen of beauty, but as an actress. In 1893 she undertook to produce here the classical plays that had been popular in England, but they did not seem to hit the popular fancy, and the tour was abandoned Miss Dene's home IS in South Kensington.

 The most distinguished of recent arrivals in the Riveria, according 10 the London Mail, is the king of Bel gium's eldest daughter.

NOTES ON RELIGIOUS BOOKS.

WaIcott & West of Syracuse, N. Y., bring out a booklet entitled "Cruci- fixion," by John H. Osborne. The writer has studied with reverent care and thoroughness the incident of Christ's crufixion, and he throws some valuable light on a number of its de tails. He shows conclusively that the conventional pictures of Christ on the cross are historically untrue. The volume is a useful contribution to Bib lical exegesis.

ACCIDENT ON r. G. LUCE'S
RAILROAD.
Henry Converse the new engineer
OF II. Z. Luce & Sons engine had a
miraculous escape from a most horri-
Bile death last Thursday week. He
had put On a heavy head Of steam
preparatory to climbing Il rather long
hill on the other side OF the river,
which runs through Messrs. Luce's
timber lands at Basin, over which a
heavy tressel work is built. The track
spread at the switch at the entrance
to the trcsscl. The engineer whistled
for brakes, but the brakeman fore.
seeing the accident jumped from the
train and left both Converse and his
fireman to battle with death alone.
The engine began to reel from side to
side and Converse told his fireman tn
jump. The second and third time he
ordered him to escape while he had a
chance but the brave fellow said mo
Mr.. Henry. IL you stays l stay"
With a power Of voice he was v
known to use before he forced the
fireman to lump and he alone went
down with the engine fourteen feet.
The engine turned a complete somer-
sault in the air and landed on its cow
catcher. Three car loads Of logs fell
on top Of the engine, demoliShing it.,
but strange 10 relate Mr.. Converse
crawled out OF the engine, escaping
with only a few bruises. Mr.. Chapel
is now in Mobile having the necessary
repairs made while Mr.. Converse is
getting the engine ready for its new
parts. The damage will aggregate
