DECREASING.

Temperance sentiment in this coun-
try seems to be steadily on the increase.
Statistics just issued by the internal
revenue department show that there
has been, decrease of several million
gallons in the consumption of whisky,
and small increase in the consump-
ton of beer. There are a great many
forces at work now in the United States
to decrease drinking and it seems that
they are having their effect. Booze
lighting is not the universal and popu-
lar thing it was some decades back.
Business men for business reasons are
decreeing that their employees must be
sober men.

II your arm is not strong enough to
protect wife, and your shoulders not
broad enough to carry aloft your chill
dren in a sort of grand gladness, you

doubtless is so. And yet the fathers
whom one occasionally meets in the

not seem to be feeling very grand

take. When Presidents and Senators

Pittsburg (SpeciaD.-More than 500
men, women and children were precipi-
tated IS feet into cellar by the col
lapse of a platform during the exercises
incident to the laying of the cornerstone
of the Beth-David Russian Hebrew Or
thodox Synagogue on Miller street, near
Washington. Nearly all were cut and
bruised, but it is believed none was ia
tally hurt
Three rabbis were among those who
went down, and although injured, they
concluded the ceremony after the panic
had subsidized.
Among the more seriously injured are
Rabbis A. G. Ashinsky, S. Graffman and
A. Bloom, Nathan Nathanson, pastor of
the congregation, and Policeman Adam
Lefteweski.
The platform which broke was about
so feet square and had been constructed
over the foundation walls for the ac-
commodation of the rabbis, officers oi
the church and invited guests.
just prior to the ceremonies brass
band, leading 500 Zionists, marched up
playing lively tune, and when the Zion
lists were invited to pass over the plat
form in order to sign their names to the
roll to be placed IN the stone mad rush
was made by the thousands of persons
who had gathered about to secure the
same privilege. The police were over
whelmed and in moment the platform
was packed with men, women and chill
dren The frail structure could not with
stand the strain and fully 500 persons
were carried down.
The panic that followed attracted
thousands of persons to the spot, and the
police had great difficulty in extricating
the screaming and grooming victims from
the wreckage
When the cellar had been cleared it
was found that scores were hurt, their
injuries consisting of bruises and cuts
about the head and body Some of the
injuries were due to the panic that FOL
lowed the crash, many being trampled IN
the wild rush to escape.
Rabbi Ashinsky was one of these. He
was trampled by the excited crowd and
sustained severe injuries, but though
suffering intensely continued the serv-
ices after some sort of order had been
restored by the army of policemen who
were called to the scene from several
districts, the report being circulated that
hundreds had been killed in the accident.
The fact that there we're no fatalities
is marvel, as the platform, when it
broke, closed up like jack knife, throw
ing the people in a struggling mass into
the cellar.
Physicians who were called had their
hands full attending to the injured and
caring for the many women who tainted
