FEyys DRINKS IN THE THIRD.
In the Third District the average is
only between fifteen and twenty DRINKS
per month. This is probably due to the
fact that the major portion OF this dis
trict is taken UP by the large residential
portion of the west end of the city.
The most popular drink of the city is
by far beer, rather than whiskey or
mixed drinks, as most of the working peo-
pie drink this exclusively, but in the
upper classes the stronger drinks are
preferred and wines in large quantities
are used.
The good people of Richmond will pro-
bably be surprised when they learn that
if all the bar-rooms in the city were
placed side by side, allowing % feet front
for each one, that they would form
solid row of buildings twenty-five squares
long. and would extend on Broad Street
from First to Twenty-sixth Street. Yet
such is the case.

IL Appears That riIgrimaacs 20 Tha,
Place Bring Sorrow to
Royal Couples.

Once more has tn, old superstition
been fulfilled according TO which royal
or imperial couples who make the pill
grimages to Jerusalem are overtaken
oy misfortune. The new king and
queen of Italy visited Jerusalem to-
gether just ten days prior TO the as
sassination of Humbert. 1t may be re-
membered that the visit of Archduke
and Archduchess Charles Louis of Aus
tria was followed by the sudden death
or the former, who. as second brother
of Emperor Francis Joseph, stood next
in the line of succession to the crown.
Another imperial couple whose pill
grimage to the holy land was followed
by equal disastrous results were the
crown prince and the crown princess
of Austria, for the quarrel which cul-
minated in Rudolph's tragic death at
Mayerling followed Immediately on
their return to Vienna from Palestine.
Prince Frederick of Schleswig-Hol-
stein, uncle of the present German EN-
press. after marrying a New York girl.
Miss Mary Lee, took his wife on hon

suddenly after few hours illness on
his way home, his widow subsequently
becoming the wife of Count Waldersee.
one the most distinguished command
ers to-day of the German army. The
visit of Emperor Williams eldest sis.
ter and of her husband to Jerusalem,
attended by Baron and Baroness Kotze,
had as its natural consequence the an
nonymous letter scandal which forced
Princess Charlotte to transfer her home
from Berlin to Breslau, while Baron
kotze, besides having to fight innu-
merable duels and being crippled for
life, had to undergo a long period of
Imprisonment.
The kaisers own pilgrimage was fol-
lowed by whole series of misfortunes,
which included the empress breaking
her leg and becoming seriously ill, the
death of her mother and the singularly
tragic suicide of Prince Alfred of Co
burg, who had been confided to the
paternal care of the kaiser at Berlin by
his own parents.
Several analogous cases could be
cited and it is probably due to this that
the vast majority of the imperial and
royal personages who visit the Holy
Land make point of doing SO alone,
leaving their husbands or their wives
at home. 1t is thus that the late en-
peror of Austria, the late Emperor
Frederick of Germany, King Leopold of
Belgium, Empress Eugene, Prince
Henry of Prussia, and a number of 9TH
ers have been able to make their pill
grimages to the Holy Land without
being overtaken by subsequent misfor.
