Wine Va. Beer

Statistics assure us that the average
Englishman consumes, in year, two
bottles of wine, 178 bottles of beer and
six bottles of spirits. A Frenchman dis
poses of III bottles of wine, 80 of bee,
and II of spirits. If these figures are at
all dependable, says the Boston Homa
Journal, al interesting question arises
as TO whether this large consumption,
of wine is the cause or the effect Of th !
fiery Gaelic or Celtic temperament. II
stolid John Bull would let up on beer

Conditiong in the Ba1kans-

A1tlepd Lll4C message
London, Sept 1o.-The Bulgarian cor
respondent Of the Daily Wall. says the
situation in the Balkans is still situated
there. Indeed, he adds, there is a ru-
NOR prevalent in Sofia that CONSTANT
HOple. so far from being upset or
greatly moved by the unprecedented
proceedings, is still right side up on
the shores of the BOsphorus. This
however, is likely to be changed at any
time as conditions are quite unsettled
War between Turkey and Bulgaria is
generally regarded as inevitable or i'm
probable. If they fight it viii probably
result in a battle, otherwise there viii
be nothing new to chronicle unless they
form a treaty, which is not regarded
as imminent or far distant. The Tur-
lish ambassador to Nubia got full on
mescal night before last and there was
a hostile demonstration on the part Of
Turkey when the janitor tried to put
the ambassador to bed. The incident is
regarded as closed. Bulgaria is pre-
serving strict neutrality and q quantity
of American powder, said 90 be very
efficacious is used with judgment The
market for foreign bonds shows great
Improvement transactions in Sofia to-
day amounting to a total Of 1915 cash.
Credit is upset. fortunately for the only
Bulgarian who has money Roumania
wiz also enforce neutrality. This is on
the advice Of Russia, which gently in
timated that If any OF the Balkan
family made a break too soon Russia
would proceed to knock thirty eight
kinds of condensed ham out Of the Of
Tending member. Turkey is increasing
its strength in Macedonia There are
now eight soldiers. two police officers
and a Persian camel enrolled under the

himself, within ten days he viii permit
Prince Ferdinand to approve the re
quest for the eXtradition of Mr.. Hay
maker. which is now i'm the hands Of
the minister for foreign affairs. MI
Haymaker is not en- rapport with his
majesty just at present, owing to the
fact that the American gentleman de-
pleted the royal treasury by introducing
the American game Of monte few eve

sition is not likely to be taken up.
There is nothing else worth chroniclins
today, except for an untoward incident
that occurred near Monastir. A body
Of Turkish troops made an assault on

there was no one but women and chill

ever, that a Cornish gentleman, who

TICKET AGENTS WELCOME.

TO THE SOME HUNDREDS Of ticket
L agents who have abstracted from
their various racks enough pssteboard
coupons 10 bring them to Zion, The
Herald desires to say a few words Of
friendly welcome this morning. It is
hardly necessary for US to say we are
sincerely glad to have them with u.s.
The ticket agent. to a great many peo-
pie. is a necessary evil. Let us ex-
plain right here that we don't mean
evil in really, truly evil sense.
The evil in the ticket agent to most
people lies in the fact that it so often
costs money to talk to him. 1t always
costs money to do business with him.
You can't go into a railroad ticket Of
flee and say to the genial man behind
the counter Gimme couple of tick
cts to Timbuctoo and Just put the bill
on the slate" Oh, well, Of course you
could say it. but the urbane agent
might reach for a date stamp to slug
YOU with on the theory that you were
a lunstic.
Yes. the ticket agent was the original
man that asked to be showed" You
may be able 20 draw a check for a
million dollars-and cash it. too. which
is more important-but you can't get
a railroad ticket without pungling ID
the coin or its equivalent. Most Of the
time they won't take your check unless
it is certified or they know you very
well indeed Sometimes they won't
take your check because they know
YOU too wen.
Seriously. though the ticket agents
ere nrst-class fellows. Considering
their trials and tribulauons. they keep
their tempers and their sunny DISPOSE
tions surprisingly well. Think of the
fool questions they are obliged to an
swer. Thinlaof the timid women they
have TO reassure and comfort A
dozen times a day they tell the same
individual the same thing in pretty
much the same way. and always they
must smile and be cheerful
The surly ticket geBt-fortunately
there are only a few Of them and they
didn't come with the crowd now in
Salt Lake-loses business for his com
pany just as surely as the genial indi-
viduaI makes friends for IT. Good

the ticket agent. and right thoroughly
do most OF them realize the fact. No

OLDFlELD's SPEED MADNESS.

ID ARNEY OLDFIELD'S speed mad
j ness has at last brought death TO
one innocent man. Olddeld is the au-
tomobile racer. He makes a speciality
Of breaking records. When he can't
find a record already established by
somebody else for him to break he goes
out and smashes one Of his own. This
is what he was attempting at a De
troit track the other day.
With his machine travelling at the
terrific rate Of sixty miles an hour a
tire became so heated with the friction
caused by its contact with the track
that il burned through and exploded.
Oldfeld lost control of his automobile.
1t crashed into a fence behind which d
spectator was standing. The spectator
was almost instantly killed Oldfeld.
as by a miracle, escaped with minor
injuries.
The Herald finds it hard to believe
that the automobile industry is bene-
flied. as claimed by some. by these mad
speed tests. There is no denying the
fact that the automobile has come 10
Der of people as the ideal method Of
transportation. Thousands Of them
are in use every day by men who are
not mere pleasure seekers, but who use
automobiles simply as means for get
ting to and from and about their
business.
More people would doubtless use

with which such happenings as that
to Oldfeld and the man he killed are
chronieled. Would-be purchasers get
the notion that the automobile Is dead
~ that the man who drives one takes
his life in his hands. to say nothing Of
the danger to the lives of others. The
reverse Of this proposition is really
true.
Look over the long list of automobile
fatalities and casualties and YOU will
find that in considerably more than
half of them, perhaps so or 80 per cent
professional chauffeurs, are involved.
If they are not professionals, such as
Oldheld, they are men who have be-
come so accustomed to driving an au-
IOlAODllG IlldL they acquire the speech
madness, the recklessness OF their own
lives and the lives Of others that inn
peIs them to attempt feats that NO
simon pure amateur would ever try.
With ordinary care on the part of
the owner the automobile is as safe as
the most docile family horse, and safer,
for it is nearly always the dOcile old
horse that runs away on scant provo

CONNECT WITH SEWERS.

IN CONNECTION with the present ty-
phoid epidemic It is pertinent to in
quire why such utter disregard Of an
important city ordinance is shown by
great many Salt Lake people. Section
35 of chapter Al Of the revised Ordin-
auces of Salt Lake city contains this
provision under subtitle known as
Rule A"
Every building in which plumbing
arrangements are constructed, shall
be separately and Independently con-
nected with the city sewer, where
such sewer is provided" And the
last section of the same chapter pro-
vides that violators Of the ordinance
shall, on conviction, be fined in any
sum not less than $40 nor more than
500 'for each day such person or
persons shall continue in violation
thereof after due notice to cease by
any city officer"
The requirement Of the ordinance
seems very plain. It is as clear as the
law against disorderly gatherings, or
petty larceny or any other offense. Yet
The Herald is informed by a competent
authority that fully IS per cent Of the
people who live or have business houses
I'm the sewer districts are not connected
with the sewers. Instead, they main
tain foul, filthy cesspools, earth closets
and other places where the soil is pol
luted and where diseases Of all kinds
are propasated-
While it has been said, and The Her
aid is not disposed to contradict any
authorities who say it, that filth does
not necessarily cause disease, there is
no doubt that soil pollution which is
caused by cesspoOls and the like does
bring about many of the maladies to
which human beings are heirs. We be
Iieve this has been demonstrated in the
case Of the flowing wells in various
parts OF the city.
archaeological examinations of the
water from these wells have shown be
yond question that il IS loaded with ty-
phoid bacili. 1t has been shown that
the pollution of the wells has been
caused by tho pollution of the soil, the
water carrying the baciHi through the
various strata and into the water that
people drink from these wells.
Now. we cannot conceive any excuse
for a continuation of a nuisance that
can be abated with but little trouble
and expense. The cost Of cleaning out
the cesspools IN the sewer district viii
iH a short time amount TO a sum suf-
ficient to meet the expense Of making
sewer connections. So, laying aside the
question Of public health and comfort,
laying aside the feature of law viola
ton, it is good business policy for all
who are not now connected with sewers
to establish connections at once.
Those who win not of their own vo-
litiOn obey the law must be forced to
obey it, just as the thief is forced to
stop his offerings. The health depart
ment might, with All propriety and
after a reasonable notice, proceed
against some Of the law breakers. An
example or two will quickly bring all
the rest to a realizing sense Of their OBJ
legations.

A meteorological examination Of

showing as regards these particular
cubic centimeters of water. City Chem
list Harms made the examination
and he is a competent and careful
man. But we cannot help remem-
bering that a cubic centimeter Of
water contains only a little more
than one-third of cubic inch,

justify the assumption that all the
water in Parley's canyon is free from

Street Cars Earnings.

A conductor on one of the salt Lake
street cars kept tab on the number OF
people he carried during the month of
August and found the total to be over
$4,000. The car is one of the little old
fashioned open ones, with seating ca
paeity OF forty people. The run was on
Second South, with occasional side
trips to the salt Palace or the SaItair
depot. Some trips the car carried
above ninety people. considerably more
than twice its seating capacity, but both
conductor and mOtorman are unusu-
ally careful men and there was not n
single accident during the month It
is estimated that the transfers pre-
scented by passengers did not exceed ten
per cent Of the total receipts. so that
the cash fares would amount to about
$50, which was probably at least twice
as much as the cost Of operating the
car. How would you like TO own few
street cars?
