WHERE DRInKiNo PREVAILS.
Patrons Of Fine Saloons Take Little
 Liquor at a lime.

Patrons Of Fine Saloons Take Little
 Liquor at lime.
 How can the elegant bars of the city afford to place before their patrons better grade of liquor while charging the same price as the saloons in the poorer districts? is question frequent ly asked. The answer is simple enough. In the former drinkers never "take bath" as the saying is, but merely cover the bottoms of their glasses with liquor, while in the latter the glasses are none too large to contain the amount the patrons require. "If you can tell me how many drinks bar gets out of gallon of whisky" said veteran of the white apron the other day, T will tell you relatively where his saloon is located and what kind of trade it enjoys. The average for business in the commercial and office center is from sixty to sixty-fve. If it is patronized to any extent by the upper working classes, skilled mechan- ies, and So on, the percentage runs down to fifty. A fellow who wasn't posted might suppose that indicated workingmen were heavy drinkers, but it's just the reverse. The average up- per class mechanic drinks very sell dom, but when he does he generally takes a good one. The heavy tipplers are the chaps who take small drinks and lots of them, and a house that has very swell custom will get from eighty to eighty-fYe out of a gallon. In the tough places and dives forty would be about the figure, which rep resents an average Of exactly four 1fths of gill to each customer. Tn such establishments the glasses are often very thick and the inside is round on the bottom. They are deceptive and even if filed to the brim will not hold over one-half of gill, which would make sixty-four drinks to the gallon. At only five cents apiece that would mean s3. 20, and as the stuff they serve does not cost more than s1 the profit is a shade over 200 per cent which ought to satisfy even a dive. keeper. If fve-eent house set ou. thin glasses with the black bottle 1t would be bankrupt in less than week"

Judge Edgar E Bryant has withdrawn from the gubernatorial race. This is disappointment to his many friends all oyer the state who would have been delighted to honor him with their votes. Judge Bryant is too much of a statesn an to get down in the mud and mire of a political campaign for the hlgh office of governor, which should be conducted on a more dignified plane than is now being done.-Warren Sentinel.

llENLESS LOGh.
Is the Latest Innovation Proposed for
 Postoffiee Boxes.


 Washington Times: There is mora than $400o00 of the peoples money locked up iH postof1fee keys, each and every keyhotder being required to put up with the postmaster a deposit for his key, the amount deposited being re- turned when the box is given up and rent paid. Postmasters are required to keep a strict account of the key de- posit fund, while the postoffice depart ment here has regular division set apart for keeping this account. As a postal official puts it, there is a great deal of trouble and no money in the transactions, and the final outcome of the trial of the keyless locks which are to be tried in the principal offices of the country is eagerly looked for. Ths department has long wanted a key less lock, but none of the lock inyen- lions until the present was regarded as in any way calculated to prove ac- eeptable. Contracts have been made for a supply of the new locks, which will first be tried in New York, Bos- ton, Philadelphia, Chicago and St Louis, as the largest and most impor- tant offiees,a and then in St. Paul, Minn.; Cleveland, Ohio; Hartford Conn.,; Madison, Wis. and Rockford, IL These offices will be fitted out as soon as the factory can complete the mak- Ing of the boxes. If they prove in every way satisfactory to the department and 10 the patrons they will be placed in offices throughout the country, but not to the entire exclusion of the lock boxes. It is the belief of the postofice department that tie keyless box will prove blessing.

JEFF DALS RECORD.

One Of the worst objections to Jeff Davis, oue that ought 10 condemn him with all decent men, is that he tells so many things that are DO toriously untrue. To illustrate:
 1. He said the editor of The Dsm- oerat9 "Went fishing to keep from voting for Bryan, every word of which is false.
 ? He said in a speech in October last, there was not dollar in the state treasury, when on tte day be made the statement there was by actual count $489 900 in cash in t1e treasury
 3 He said at the same time that "tax.s would have to be increased three fourths mill to meet running expences. Treasurer Little states that taxes can be reduced.
 1 He said the banks refused to cash ris checks, the telephone aud the hotels raised their rates on him-all untrue.
 He said Senator Berry eongra- tulated him on his speech at Ben tonville and declared himselffor him Davi-) Senator Berry was called on and denied itempbatically.
 6 He said that "Ihe Democrat" declared that nobody but the one gaIlused, patched brooches fellows would vote for Jeff Dayisn-eyry word of which is untrue.
 '. He said at Benton that there were 5 900 men in Little Rock ready to help assassinate him-a mon- strous falsebood.
 He said ID his Philadelphia speech that two thirds of the coun- try papers are in favor of him. Not one tenth of the Democratic papers are for bim.
 9. He stated in a public speech tia Governor Jones declared that the bonds to be issued under the Bush bill would be made payable in god. Governor Jones declared this to be untrue.
 To- He declares on every stump that the Arkansas Gazette is fight ing him. We call every newspaper aud every reading man in the state to bear witness that the charge is untrue. Arkansas Democrat

The Term of Life.

Recent inquiries in England have led 10 the preparation of tables showing the full term of life" for man. and other mammals, based upon the theory that there is a fixed ratio between the period required to reach maturity and the total length of life, Accident, dis ease and so forth, have to be eliminat- cd from the calculation. According to these tables, only one animal exceeds man in it's full life term namely. the elephant. For man the theory makes the average term about 50 years, and for the elephant something over 100 years. Next to man. in longevity. come the camel and the Arabian horse. whose term of life is about 42 years.

 Elmira is trying fhe virtue of cur, few ordinance. Its express purpose is to keep out of the streets the e..ildren who have been permitted to frequent them in the evening without restraint heretofore says the Elmira Advertiser. It takes effect at g o'clock in the sum- mer and at 8 o'clock during the win- ter. The effect of the rule has beeH watched with interest, and no one can doubt that the new rule will be as faithfully enforced hereaftev as it has been during the first week. Only one arrest has been made, but that was sufficient to show the intention of the police department to enforce the ord1- nance in a fair and reasonable man. her. According to all the testimony at hand it accompIishes the purpose for which it was passed. Children, and young girls in particular, are no long CT seen promenading the streets in groups or sing1y, and the gain for or der is plainly noticeable. There is a a1sposltIon shown in the press of other cities to poke fun at the course pur- sued here, but our citizens care nothing For that. They are trying honestly an experiment from which much good is hoped. and their expectations have met no appointments up to today. Instead of laughing at our village" similarly afflicted communities would 1o well to adopt the same course of treatment for what is everywhere ac- knowledged to be a serious evil. If large numbers of the young can be kept out of temptation and from evil courses by so simple device, it is far wiser to try it than to jeer at 1t.

In the harbor at Port Elizabeth, Cape Colony. the other day, an interesting boat race was held, a crew of British bluejaekets being pitted against some Malay fishermen. The five seamen who represented the British navy were se- lected from the crew of the cruiser Doris. the flagship of Rear-Admlfa Sir Robert H. Harris, one of the smarrest admirals of the navy, and now in com mand of the Cape of Good Hope and West Coast of Africa squadron. If the seamen thought they were going to have a walkover they Were greatly mistaken. The Malays gave them good race: sometimes the naval men led, and then again the Malays would oyertake them. Toward the finish. however, the seamen obtained a tac- tical advantage and managed to win wFth about a dozen lengths to spara
