LONDON, Nov. 15.-It costs about

Duke, who succeeded to the title and
estates about two months ago, has 20
pay s1s5.0O0 TO the Treasury in the
shape OF death and succession duties.
BY keeping his ancestral home closed
for twelve months the new Duke has
figured il out that he will be able to
save all that he has to pay to the Gov
eminent and leave margin to pay the
interest on the money which he may
have TO borrow to meet the EXcheQuer's
demand for spot cash.
So the fat has gone forth and for
year this ancient abode of lavish hospi
tally will present barred doors and
suffered windows to the world. Most
of the hundred odd domestic retainers
have been dismissed or placed on board
wages, and caretakers have been put
in charge to keep burglars at bay OF

LESS BEER USED IN IRELAND

LESS BEER USED IN IRELAND
Consul III. S. Culver OF Cork quotes
late statistics to show that the con-
sumption of beer is decreasing in
ireland. In 1866 the number of gall
Ions of beer per head of the popula-
ton consumed was 27.9o, while in 1896
IS II was 1925. On the other hand, the
quantity of beer retained for consump-
ton in the United Kingdom shows that
the number of barrels In Ireland have
risen during the ten years from 2,759,-
069 barrels to 3,265,0s4 barrels The
number of licenses issued to brewers
for sale in 1865 in Ireland was thirty
three, compared with forty-two ten
years ago. The decrease is attributed
to the gradual disappearance Of the
small brewers. The net receipts of
duty on whisky made In ireland last
year was f4025,6o5 9,s90,ee7), of
which f3,952,50s (s19.234.SS5) was al
located to the exchequer and only
f73,oss (s335.722) to the local taxation
accounts The twenty-seven distil-
leries still in Ireland produced last
year 12,650.577 gallons of whisky, as
against 13e12,540 ten years ago. Last
year duty was paid upon 7,337.92s proof
gallons, while 3,636,27o proof gallons
were retained for consumption in
ireland.

RIVAL of PANAMA CANAL

Nobody has ever accused Diaz, the
nominal president but actual dictator
OF Mexico, of being either a fool or a
visionary. In fact. all the achieve
ments of his later life, with their grim
repression of disorder in his own coun-
try. the creation of strong centralized
government, and the rapid development
OF Mexfcos Astounding natural re-
sources. largely by the aid OF Ameri-
can capital, have stamped him as an
eminently practical man of affairs. 1t
seems reasonably safe to assume,
therefore, that the new railroad across
the isthmus of Tehuantepec is an en-
terprise of real utility that is likely
to prove profitable to the investors who
have put their money in 1t.
For Americans ii possesses interest
because il is avowedly designed to
serve as rival Of the Panama canal
in the transfer OF freights between the
Atlantic and the Pacific 1t is true that
all goods will have to be unloaded from
vessels on one side of the isthmus and
reloaded again on the other. But the
railroad will have a large start-possi-
bly, one of ten or a dozen years-before
the canal is completed. and the de-
scriptions of 1T which have just been
published indicate that IL has been
planned with ample terminal faciIi-
ties for the quick and efficient handling
of dise.-Phiiadelphia Bulletin.
