The cost Of living on Fifth avenue Is
wildly described by the New York cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Ledger,
who says that some idea may be OBJ
tanned from the fact that five lots of
land on the corner of Fifth avenue and
Fifty-ffth street have been sold for
100000 and that dwellings will be erected
on the site to cost at least $750,00O Thus
five private houses will represent cost
Of $4,000 each. Only millionaire could
afford such residence Including in
terest, taxes and insurance, this means
a yearly outlay of over $4,000. Tt would
take at least $4,000 a year to run such
ar establishment Yet the house built
upon a lot 25xlO0 feet, supposing five
residences are built on the five lots,
would not be palace in its DIMENSIONS
The expensiveness of it would be chief
1y in it's location. A similar house in an
other part of Manhattan could be OBJ
tanned probably for $4,000 and in Brook
Ign for sSO,OOO."

The Memphis Commercial Appeal grows
gloomy, and, in view of the many scares
set againg by the doctors, fails to see any
use of anything. It says:
According to science, milk is unwhoIe-
some; water contains microbes, hacilH
bacteria, fever germs and other luxuries
beer is apt to make one bilious and dys-
peptlc; wine has a tendency to produce
govt; mineral waters bring on appendicitis
and stomach troubles; coffee produces
indigestion; tea makes one nervous; but
termllk dtsarranges the stomach unless
drunk only occasionally; chocolate is SO
rich as to prove deleterious; fruit Juice
produces headache and sour stomach;
and so on down through the line. TO
avoid all these possible dangers, one can
drink nothing but Solids

FOOLISH AND UNRELIABLE.
False Reports About Arrest Of q Drunken
Woman. Sunday Night.

Evidently the man who made the
night, that officer Chase arrested a
poor woman. early that morning. and
abused her by clubbing her and drag
ging her through the streets was talk
ing about something of which he either
knew nothing or only very little, for
the only woman arrested was arrested
at l.30 4. NJ, IL hours after Officer
Chase had left his beat for home. and
In fact he did not know Of the arrest
until he came down to the station the
next day.
And as for the statement that the
woman was dubbed or otherwise
abused, that is equally as far from the
facts of the case. Augusta officers do
not club women, and the only cOmmo-
ton or disturbance that occurred was
caused by the shouting and shrieking
Of the woman who was crazy drunk
and was trying to resist being taken to
the lookup.
And as for the way In which she was
taken. that was entirely unavoidable
as there was no team on the street and
the city does not provide patrol
wagon.
The woman was drunk and had to he
taken to the station and the officers
did it as easily and with as little
trouble as they were able ana she had
no complaint to make. the next day.
and she did not show any marks of
abuse from the officers.
