The Beer That Brewers Drink.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The amount of beer consumed by
men who work in the brownies 10 lit
tie short of appalling, 100 glasses a
day being not considered unusual.
In one of the breweriss uptown there is
quite system in dispensing drinks
to the employees. Every man is
graded according to his capacity,
and tickets are issued to the men
when they come to work in tie NOR
ming. Each ticket is good for glass
of beer. Some men got 100. others
eighty, others sixty and SO on down
to the novices. who are only allowed
twenty-five until their capacity is
accurately judged through the sys-
tenn of graduation. The brewers
claim that no drunk enness results
from this, as the men perspire freely
in the hot atmosphere, and the liquor
has little effect upon them. If by
some mischance man should become
incapacitated for work, he is denoted
to the next lower class, and this is
looked upon as keen disgrace, and
very rarely happens. ''Of course, it
ultimately leads to cirrhosis of the
liver" said a prominent brewer yes
terday, "hut the men are bound to
drink beer, and it is better to have q
system. 1t saps their vitality to such
an extent that they become easy vic
TINS to any disease. We lost two
workmen last month from broken
legs. To an ordinary man no I'M
portance would be attached to tract
ured limb, but those fellows never
rallied. They just keelsd over and
died."

Conductor Jas. Fl. Brown and family,
Of Pueblo, are spending few days in
the city.
The block system is to be introduced
on the Santa Fe between Pueblo and
Denver the first of the year. Under it a
road is divided into what are called
''blocks' which may be five to twenty
miles in length, and through these very
close tab on all trains is kept When y
train enters a block the operator there
telegraphs the fact to the operator in the
block ahead and to the one behind so
that they know positively just where the
train is. As no two trains are allowed in
one block at the same time head or rear
end collision is an impOssibility.

A paper bound book of IS pages, 5 by

cry, director of the Santa Fe, aud Pre-
sident Fitch of the Waltham Watch Co.
The book is anonymous and is being
secretly circulated along the Santa Fe
road.
The book contains copies of several
letters written by C. NJ. Borkur, former
ly Santa Fe conductor who lived at
Dodge City, who was discharged by
General Superintendent H. U. Nudge for
refusing to comply with the watch in
spection rules and for writing letter in
which he used disrespectful language
about MIR. Frey and Mr.. Nudge.
The book also contains letters Of the
came character written to Mr.. Ripley,
Mr.. Turner and Mr.. Walker. The auth.
br Of the book attacks General Watch
aud Clock Inspector Montgomery and
makes broad and serious charges against
him that are not substantiated. The
watch inspection system is termed a
"fake" aud scheme to rob the en-
ployes of the road and the officials of the
system are called s'rObber barons" and
are charged with belonging to swatch
trust" for the purpose of compelling the
employees of the road to buy watches ut
twice the usual price.
| Slanderous statements are made about
Mr.. Ripley and Mr. Turner and Presid-
ent Firch of the Waltham Watch Co. is
also attacked as well as other watch COM
panies. 1t is supposed that watch
company that has fought the Santa Fe
system of watch inspection is responsible
for the anonymous publication.
When asked about the book Genera
Manager j. j. Frey stated that he knew
nothing about it and would pay no at
tention to anonymous attacks Of such I
nature.
The book particularly attacks the sys
tenn of the inspection and condemnation
Of watches and charges that the entir
system is ssfake'' and that good watche
are condemned in order to force tn
employe owning the watch to buy an
other from some one of the watch in
; spectors of the road and that they hav

During the past year lis justices Of the
peace have resigned in the state. Only
eighty-two have been appointed. This
leaves thirty-two positions still vacant.
Since the new fee and salary law went
into effect the position of Justice does not
pay enough to justify man running for
The office. For this reason there are not
as many applications as there are resigna.
