100000 IN DRINKS A DAY
This Is the Amount of New York's
Liquor Bill.

New York.-D Madison c. Peters,
in his sermon today suggested cure
for the hard times, and incidentally
gave some interesting statistics on the
extent and expense of the liquor drink
ing habit in New York. He said:
1T has been estimated that New
York city spends 81 100000 day for
drink, or 1866, 900, 600 annually, which
is more than half the amount required
to run the entire government of the
United States. 1t is nearly twice as
large as our tariff revenue, more than
twice the amount of our gold product,
six times as great as the entire value
of the silver product of the country
and is nearly half the total capitaliza-
tion of the banks of the country. 1t is
more than twice the salaries of the
teachers in all the public schools of the
country and is nearly equal to the value
of all wooden manufactures. We spend
as much in New York for drink every
twenty months as the whole country
does through building and loan associa-
tions to emancipate itself from servi-
tude to landlords

FOREIGNERS RUSH HOME.
Export Shippers Are Menaced by Seri-
GUS Freight Congestion.

New York, N. Y-Serfous freight
congestion threatens all foreign ship
pers because of the unprecedented
homeward rush OF foreigners. The
eastward-bound steerage travel during
the past six weeks has been unparal-
leled and the demand for accommo-
dations has been so great that book
ings have been closed weeks in adj
vance of sailings. The Main of the
North German Lloyd line, which sailed
Thursday, carried 2,3G5 steerage pas
sengers, and even up to the minute of
sailing there were hundreds of per-
sons waiting on the piers for accomo-
dations Bookings for steerage on the
Seydlitz of the same line, which is to
sail Wednesday next, has been closed
for several days and no more steerage
tickets are being sold for the Koenig
Albert, which will sail Nov. 80 for
Mediterranean ports.

Plan War on Boil weevil.

The United States department. OF
agriculture is arranging to put force
OF not less than Is special agents into
Mississippi during the next few weeks
for the purpose of instructing the farm
ers how to raise cotton in accordance
with the cultural method and minimize
the rayages of the Mexican boil weevil,
and also how to diversity crops in
manner that will increase acreage
yields. The plan in view is to place at
least two agents in each congressional
district. and there is probability that
the force may be increased to twenty or
more men III case the boil weevil raw
ages spread rapidly during the next
crop year. The agents will be under
the personal direction of DR.. S. A.
Knapp of Lake Charles, La, who has
general charge of the boil weevil fight
being conducted by the department of
agriculture.
Assignments to territory will be made
during the approaching month. The
government is now distributing large
amount OF literature among the farmers
instrncting them how to break the soil
during the winter, and to make early
preparations for planting. This is sup
plemented by similar literature being
sent out by Prof. Glenn w. Herrick,
the State entomologist, and if the ap-
preaching legislative session can be in
duced to make an adequate appropria-
tion for the boil weevil fight, an ener-
getic cooperation Of State and govern
ment forces will doubtless minimize the
ravages of the pest.

WALSH OPERATIONS
GOVERNMENT CLAIMS SECURE
TIES WERE vALUELESS.
WITHDREW SUM OF 1886, 389
Prosecutor Scores by Getting Judge
to Admit Documents Which, 1t
Is Claimed, viii Convict.

Chicago, Ill.--Evidence tending to
show that bonds of the Walsh
railroads were sold to various purchas-
ers at practically the figures they were
accepted by the Chicago National
bank as collateral for notes, was
brought out In the cross-examination
of National Bank Examiner Moxey in
the Walsh trial Wednesday afternoon.
Ten sales aggregating $4,000 were
gone over and identified by date and
amount.
The evidence up to noon showed
of depositors' funds from the Chicago
National bank.
To procure this fortune he deposit
ed bonds and stocks which, the gov
eminent charges were without mar
ket value and used the names of his
clerks on memorandum notes.
Prosecutor Dobyns scored point
by getting Judge Anderson to admit
a mass of documentary evidence. He
expressed his qualification by saying:
1.-THE door is now open for the in
PRODUCTION of enough evidence to con-
vict a dozen times over"
The direct mination Of Mr.. Mox-
ey was finish carly in the afternoon
after he hal flied to entries pur-
porting to SHOW the withdrawal by
Walsh Of $630,000 in a single day in
January, 1905, and that notes bearing
various signatures amounting to $644,-
900 had been discounted on that day.
Moxey's testimony seemingly shows
that during the month of January
Walsh drew out of the bank 1865, 900
and that a corresponding amount is
involved in notes or the sale of bonds
of his enterprise.
All Of the memoranda testified to
were gone over and the record of the
sales of the bonds will be taken up
Thursday where it left off at ad-
journment

GET AWAY FROM DEFENSIVE
Democrats viii Hold Their Conven-
ton Before Republicans.

French Lick, Ind.-One of the menu
bers of the National Democratic COM
mittee explains partly why the commit
tee met here recently and why it was
that a secret meeting was held, at
which no reporters were allowed.
THE committee" he said, sdiscuss-
ed everything that had an interest in
the coming canvass, and that it was de-
cided to inaugurate rafting agrees
sive campaign early in the contest.
But it was agreed that Dec. II was the
time to meet in Washington, because
they would then know what time the
National Republican convention would
meet, and the Democratic date would
be placed earlier by two or three weeks,
or month, if necessary.
"The Democrats" he said, shave
been at disadvantage by nominating
after the Republicans, as that placed
them on the defensive throughout the
campaign. This move will enable us to
give them red hot contest; also it was
agreed that Bryan's running mate must
be conservative in the convention.

NOT SINFUL TO HAVE RICHES
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Talks to
His Bible Glass.

New York. Accumulation of riches
is not sinful, providing that you get
them and use them properly"
This sentiment was expressed by
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to the MEM
bers of his Bible class today. 1t was
his first address since he resigned it's
leadership. His subject was, 1.-THE
pleasures Of today: would Christ APP
prove of them?" He said:
SIN discussing the pleasures of life
today, one should consider the various
phases and sides of the question.
"Take the question of drinking as an
instance. | know men, and probably
you do, who can drink with moderation,
and no harm come from it. csonally
l am temperance man, in fact I am
more than that, am total abstainer,
and yet | would not venture to say that
no man should drink. There is a great
deal of social drinking that is harmful,
and the man who encourages another
to take the first drink is, to my mind,
welcoming danger. 1t is not the use
of spirits as much as the abuse which
causes harm. On this question it is
safer not to court temptation.
Gard playing is another popular
pleasure of today. Like the question
of drink, perhaps am not competent
to discuss it, for pc rsonally have never
played game OF cards in my life. 1t
is a recreation which stimulates and
quickens the mental faculties, but the
great tendency is to abuse it. If you
play for anything, no matter how small
it may be, it becomes gambling, and

of Worcester, Mass, who has resigned
from his pulpit after 80 years OF
service in order to devote himself to
golf, thinks he has earned this play
time, and he doubtless has. The
trouble is that when man works for
80 years without giving any time to
pleasure he commonly does not know
how 10 play. A due amount of diver
sion at intervals along the road is the
safer and more satisfactory plan. It
