MORE WHISKEY, LESS BEER.
wHISKEY DRINKING ON THE IN
GREASE IN UNITED STATES.
,oss Beer Than Formerly Used. Snuff
mining Decreasing, While TObac-
co Using Is Increasing.

The report of the internal revenue
Commissioner shows that last year the
american people drank less beer than
tba wear previous and more whiskey.
gba report shows that there was nearly
rillion fewer barrels of beer consumed
during the last twelve mouths than the
yoar before, while during the same time
tbe neople drank five md a half million
Gallons more of whiskey. Commissioner
Wilson does not bring any explanation
10 bear on this fact in his report, but be
saws privately that the increase in whis-
kew drinking was evidently due to the
exceedialy hard season of last winter,
when whlskey was taken to warm one
nm bit and not for intoxicating pur-
poses.
The report shows that the habit of
spuff dipping has largely decreased and
almost entirely disappeared. There are
some mountainous districts in the south
and west where snuff is still dipped and
in New England the farming classes are
still addicted to the habit.
While dipping snuff has decreased the
use of tobacco las greatly increased and
the report shows that the cigarette fiend
has been working over time. Pipe
smoking has almost doubled in the past
i've years. 1t has increased in greater
proportion than cigarette smoking. A
number Of internal revenue agents az
tribute the increase in cigarettes to the
decline of the bicycle fad. This expla-
nation looks far-fetched, but it may be
that while spinning along the roads the
youth fOrgets to smoke.

HYMEN IN A BUNCO GAME.

Marriage Certificate Developers Into q
. PrOmissOry Note.
The latest confidence game that is
beng tried on the unsuspecting farm
ers throughout Delaware is being per-
petrated, it is alleged, by pair of slick
confidence men and woman accom-
plice.
One of Them, claiming to be minis
ter, seeks lodging at farm house over
night under the preUext that he is on
walking tour and needs rest.
He retIres and then couple drive
up to know where they can find a min
lister to marry them.
The farmer thinks of his guest and a
marriage certificate is produced, to
which the farmer signs his name as a
witness to the ceremony, and it turns
up later that he has signed a proms-
sorry note.

NEW s NOTES,

At Rochester, N. Y, on Monday, a
mob caught negro named Franklin,
who had assaulted white woman, put
a rope around his neck and was about to
lynch him when a constable with a pis-
tol put in an appearance and scared the
mob out of its wits. About the only
difference between a mob of "ould-be

OUR CAPTAINS OF THE PLOW.

There are patriots who follow the
pillow as well as the sword, and in our
9 uthland, with its peculiar crisis, finan-
c'al and social, there are no more heroic
ideals than those great captains who
manage our plantations. Their mission
is one upon which our civilization as
we'll as our financial fabric depends
and so as we view them battling with the
problem of nature in soil and labor, in
cold and heat, with obstacles almost in.
surmountable, our admiration and inter-
est cause us to breathe silent prayer
for their success. We witness their de-
parture to new fields of experiment with
the same admiration that we felt for the
companies of Lee and Jackson. There
is 10 difference in principle. Then the
country. These captains of ours, leav-
ing the beaten paths of cotton, sound the
bugle call and as by magic millions of
warriors leap upon the fields. Their
uniform is golden, and myriads of spear
heads wave in triumph as they are kiss
ed by southern sun. Beautiful women
smile upon these warriors, children
Irvine their loving arms around them;
the birds praise in their fight and carol
their notes of joy. And in reply we
think these silent warriors seem to say,
we are your guardians. N more shall
the crown of thorns be pressed upon
your brow. Even the widow and orphan
shall CLEAN plenty from our fields of
gram. There shall be no dark shadow
along The lonely path to the spring; no
widows cabin so lonely we cannot pro-
tect; no mortgage that we cannot pay.
We will move the anxious look from the
old mothers face and nail the banner of
contentment upon every southern barn.

FRONTIER TROUBLE FEARED.
YaQuis MAY Bring Their Warfare Over into
the United States.

the United States.
It's now feared that serious troubles
% our Mexican frontier may break
forth any day. and there seems to be
much uneasiness among the inhabitants
Of Arizona and New Mexico.
During the last few weeks the Yaqui
Indian uprising in Mexico has assumed
alarming proportions, and the Mexican
government suddenly finds a serious
campaign on it's hands. The Indians
have gathered in strong force among the
bills and mountains near the border and
are not only committing serious depreda-
TONS but are proving more than match
for the Mexican troops now in the field
operating against them. These troops
are now being re- enforced and will event
ually drive the Yaquis out of their
strongholds, and it is feared that when
this takes place the fugitlves will cross
the frontier and extend their depreda-
tons to United States territory.
Owing to tho steady drain made on the
regular army by toe demands of our
lighting and garrison forces in the Phil
ippines, Cuba and Porto Rico the from
tier has been almost entirely deprived of
military protection, some of the garri-
sons being entirely deserted and Others
containing only CO mpany of infantry
Or troop or two of cavalry. Should
the Yaqnis cross over into Arizona or
New Mexico they would be able to COM
nit serious depredations before the war
department. could concentrate force
large enough to whip them into sub.
lection. And once started an Indian up
using would doubtless spread rapidly to
all discOntented tribes. It is to be hoped
mat the Yaquis will not leave Mexican
.eFrltory and bring their warfare into
NE United States, for Door dependence
IS to be placed in the fighting strength

of Rocky Mountain Glacier.
Among the glaciers found in the
Rocky mountains and described by
James P. KimbaIl is Grassnopper gla-

enormous quantity of grasshopper re-
mains that are fund on and in the
glacier. Periodically the grasshop-

north take their flight southwark and

carried by the ice river down into the
valley and deposited at the melting

that thousands Of tons of grasshopper

PROUD Of GRIGGS.
Distinguished DawsOnian Held in
High Esteem at LaGrange.


High Esteem at LaGrange.
The LAGRANGE Reporter of last week
contained the following mplimentary
allusion to Judge Griggs:
LAGRANGE people are always proud Of
those who, born in our ideal little city,
have achieved fame along any lines
whatever. Her sons in distant cities
from pulpits, from the judges stand and
from congressional halls throw upon her
a proud and glorious reflection.
Among those names of which our city
may justly feel proud is the name of J.
M. GIiggs.
Unaided and alone, coming on during
the horrible aftermath of the civil war,
when education was at low ebb, he
nevertheless climbed upward until he
became the most prominent lawyer of
the Pataula circuit. He was soon made
judge of the same circuit, and there
made an enviable reputation. His rul-
ings were wise and displayed deep legal
knowledge, and his decisions al ways
stood the test.
Three years ago, after heated contest,
he was sent to congress from the second
district of Georgia and has proved him
self one Of the best men in that body.
Genial, courteous, but firm and un-
yielding when believing himself right,
he is making reputation as one of the
braniest men sent from any section.
! We believe that the gGbernatorial
mantle could find no better resting
place than on the shoulders of j. NJ.
Griggs-a strong man of rare ability and
untarnished integrity.

Gen. and Mrs. Fred D. Grant have
announced the engagement Of their
daughter, Julia Dent Grant, to Prince
Michael Cantacuzene of the Russian
Imperial Guard. The Grants are stop
ping with the Honores in Chicago for
few DAYS before General Grant leaves
for Manila. His wife will not go with
him. A few days ago General Grant
received a cable message from Paris,
asking his consent to his daughters
engagement, and. having known Prince
Cantacuzene's family for the last 20
wears. he saw no reason to withhold IT,
Miss Grant went abroad last fall with
her aunt. Mrs. Potter Palmer, and af-
ter a trip up the Nile was in Rome for
the Easter season. She is now in Paris,
but will return to the United States
within a few weeks, as Mr.. and Mrs.
Palmer intend to summer, as usual, at
Newport. AS General Grant will hard
ly return from the Philippines till fall,
it is not likely the wedding will take
place until that time. The New York
Herald says:
.sThe engagement Of the granddaugh-
ter OF former President Grant is the
end of the first chapter Of pretty ro-
nance which began in Rome not more
than three months ago. Mrs. Palmer
and Miss Grant were staying in the
Eternal city. Prince Cantacuzene
was at the time the military attache OF
the Russian embassy, and he and other
Russian officers were attracted toward
the young and pretty American girl.
They shoWered tar with attentions and
made her stay in Rome as delightful as
they knew how, and when Mrs. Palmer
