BILL FOR THE DRINKS.

The American Grocer is responsible
for the statement that the people of
the United States spent 81 22S, 654, 925
for drinks during 1900. Here are the
figures as given by the Grocer: Alec
holic drinks 81, O59, 563, 787, coffee 1926
778, $50, tea $31, 312, Cos, cocoa So, 900,
600 = total 81, 298, 654, 1926. 1t will be
noted that the table does not include
soda water, lemonade, or other cooling
drinks If these popular beverages had
been added their cost would doubtless
have increased the total by 800, 900, 600
or so.
For beer alone $3.50, 900, 600 are spent
annually in this country. Considering
the great number of people who never
touch beer, certainly half the popula-
ton, the quantity consumed by the
other half becomes still more astonlsh-
ing. Coffee makes poor comparative
showing, the cost of the consumption
being less than 1926, 10000 When the
vast amount spent for beverages is
figured down to a per capita showing
it has not such a surprising aspect.
1t amounts to only $1617 for each in
habitant, and this is something less
than SC, per capita daily. That really
does not look large.
The Grocer says that statistics show
that the consumption of alcoholic bev-
erages is not increasing. The con-
sumption of spirits declined from 1 .43
gallons per capita in 1891 to / 81 in 1900.
If the temperance people Will only
keep up their work for few more
hundred years they may succeed in
bringing the country to strictly tea and
soda water principles. = Savannah

DETERMINED TO GIVE CONTEST

FIGHT TO FINISH.
Odds Are offered in Cincinnati That
Fight Will Not Be Pulled Off
Other Pugilistic Notes of Interest.

Cincinnati, O, Jan. 12.-Tbe directors
Of the Saengerfest Athletic association
today held several informal confer
cnces with their attorneys and then
there was a meeting of all the stock
holders and members at 3 p. m. last
ing until p. m, when the following
was given to the press:
Notwithstanding the opposition and
difficulty confronting US in endeaVor-
ing to carry out a project that we
have felt from its incipienCy was not
only feasible and right, but also per
mitted by law. we announce that VIC
shall continue in the course heretofore
outlined"
For several days the directors of the
Saengerfest Athletic club have pre-
pared bulletins to be issued to the
press, but none of these has created as
much local comment as the one issued
tonight. 1t was generally believed af-
ter a general meeting of the sharehoId-
ers, that the Jeffries-RUhlin fight and
its preliminary would be declared off
but the SaengerfeSt assOciat ton now
seems to be determined to fight il out
themselves. notwithstanding the local
betting is still at odds on the fight
being finally declared off.
Before leaving his office today Mayor
Fleischman announced that he would
be in New York all OF the coming week,
and he repeated his statement that he
would not issue a permit to the Saen-
gerfest Athletic club until two days
previous to the fight, and that it
would be a permit for Sparring eXhi-
bition such as is permitted under the
Ohio statute There is very bitter feel
ing now between the members of the

Dan Stuart, who has been alternating
as it were, since he pulled off the fight
az Carson City between Corbett and
FitzSimmons, is again attracting public
attention. His trip last week to the
old battle ground in Nevada has set all
the sporting men throughout the cOun-
try to guessing. on his arrival he i'm
mediately began making preparations
to erect an arena much larger and far
more substantial than the last one On
being closely questioned Stuart admit
ted that il was his intention TO bring
together ambitious fighters, but he
would give no definite Information as
To who they were. However. he init
mated that one of them might be Fitz-
simmons and another Terry McGOv-
evn.
owing to the great distance from a
popUlOus center it is probably mis- inten-
tion of bringing together several of the
big men in a number of fights and give
d weeks fistic carnival. which would
draw a larger number of people than
any one event. The residents of west
