A drink that tastes, looks and is similar to that of Beer but is not Beer Which is made of pure extracts of Hops and is Carbonated not BREWED which contains all the health giv ing properties of Hops without the Alcoholic effects.
 A few words that the U s. Dispensatory, 18th Edition, pages z6z-z68, the highest Medical Authority, has this to say about hops:
 Hops are tonic and slightly narcotic, and have been highly recommended in diseases of general or local debility, associated with morbid vigilance, or other nervous derange- ment Diuretic properties have also been ascrbed to them. The complaints in which they have been used are dyspepsia and the nervous tremors Wakefulness and derium in drunkards A pillow of hops has proved use full in allaying restlessness and producing sleep in nervous disorders.

 Gentlemen:-In reply to your letter of the 9 st instant relative to a demand made by one of my deputies upon a customer of yours at Blytheve for tax for the sale of Hop Ale, beg to advise that the question was taken up with the deputy who has charge of that dyis ion, and he says that the matter was reported to him by deputy United States Marshal, who seems to be under the impression that persons selling this compound were subject to tax.
 1 have this day written this deputy that as long as there is no change in the formula submitted by you some time ago, persons sell ing it do not render themselves liable to spe- cial tax. Respectfully,

Colcrado's New Senator.

! The papers are having quite lot to
say at the present time regarding
Simon Guggenheim, Republican, who
will succeed Thomas NJ. Patterson.
Democrat, as United States senator
from Colorado. Most of them pay
splendid tribute to him as man who
has risen from poverty to wealth and
high station, and as enjoying in his
own state notable reputation for in
tegrity, industry and intelligence.
Other papers, which seem to have no
ground for their prejudice, except the
fact that he is a millionaire, assume
that he has secured his seat in the
Serate by improper use of his money,
and that he is not a man of senato-
rial caliber. AS matter of fact, as far
as appears from the story OF his life and
from the comments of the newspapers
in his own state, there is every reason
to believe that the new Colorado Sem
ator is worthy of the honor which he
has gained, and that he will represent
the Centennial state in the Senate as
ably and creditably in all respects as
the average senator represents the
state which sends him there.
Mr.. Guggenheim will be the third
Hebrew melnber in the Senate when he
takes his seat in that body, the others
being Ankeny of Washington. and
Rayner OF Maryland. Other Hebrews
who nave served in the Senate in ear
lier years have been Benjamin and
Jonas of Louisiana, Yule of Florida.
and Simon of oregon, seven in all.
Mr. Guegenheim will also enjoy the
distinction of being one of the young
Senate, being now 80 years Of age. He
is a native of Philadelphia and is one
of seven sons of an immigrant who
have all become millionaires. Their
father was born in a little village in
the mountains of Switzerland, coming
10 America when boy of 10, and laid
the IOuIOdtlOH VI Ills SuCCcSS ny p'u-
ding stove polish in the streets of Phil
adelphia From a peddler he became
manufacturer and wholesale merchant.
and when he had accumulated little
fortune somebody induced him to in
vest a part of it in Western mining
stock 1t proved the investment which
made his fortune and those Of his sons.
and now all of them are engaged in the
mining and smelling business. Simon,
the senator-tO-be, is the only one OF
the seven sons VINO has ever engaged
in politics. He has never held office,
however, though he has declined In
turn nominations as Lieutenant-gov-
ernor and governor of his state. Since
he declined the latter Office. however,
ne has been an avowed aspirant for the
Senate, and the fact that he was the
unanimous choice Of his party to this
office in q state celebrated for political
battles and factional fights shows his
ability as a politician.

Suing a Sister State.

In some Of the states it is the custom
for the retiring governor to de-
liver an address to the Legislature,
giving it whatever good advice is
term Of Office. In the course of such
an address last week the retiring
governor of South Dakota, S. H. Elrod,
emphatically denounced the deal by
which his state came into possession
of about $4,000 through a suit against
North Carolina. This suit came after
South Dakota had come into possess
sion of bonds which the southern state
had repudiated after the fashion prev
alent in that section of the country
some years ago. In most instances
the holders of these bonds lost tn ,ir
money, since an individual cannot sue
a state. But one state can sue another
state, and certain holders of repudiated
North Carolina bonds entered into
partnership with South Dakota and
enforced payment through the
Supreme court, with the result that
$4,000 was recovered from North
Carolina.
Ex-Governor ElrOd is now convinced
that the taking Of this money was not
fair proceeding against a sister
commonwealth and urges that the
Legislature of South Dakota make an
appropriation 50 that the money can
be returned. Such an act, declares
ex-Govrrnor Elrod, will do more To
cement the states together than any
thing that has happened since the
Civil War Morally we have no right
to a cent of this money and we ought
to be brave and homes, enough TO give
II back. 1t remains to be seen what
view the South Dakota legislators will
take in this matter.

The American Poetry Industry.

Somebody has taken the trouble 70
go through the January magazines and
find that they contain no fewer tiiah
155 separate ana original poems
manufactured marketed and delivered
in good order to the public by Ia
American poets. And yet 1t IS ire
uucntlv said that this is a prosaic age,
and that this is an unconsenial cline
for the MUSES., Surely, these figure
refute any such charge as that. More
over, this summary is far from being
complete, for it does not include the
weekly periodicals.. which doubtless
print more verse in the course of Il

certainly have their share OF original
poetry, and for which some of the best
writer's Of verse in our country. as
Frank l.. Stanton. are regular con-
tributors.
The statistician who made the
summary referred to above expresses
the fear that poetry trust is getting
in its work, for he finds that Clinton
Scollard has five different poems in
five separate magazines, and Theodosia
Garrison the same number of poems
Curtis Hidden Page. new and very
promising member of the combination,

magazines. Other familiar names of
captains Of the poetic industry who got
in moro than one poem apiece during
the month were John Kendrick Banks
Elsa Barker, Bliss Carman, Madison
Cawein. Aloysius Coll Richard Watson
Glider, Wallace Irwin. Curtis May
Charles Hanson Towne. Clarence
Crmy and Charlotte Wilson. For
some reason other members Of the
trust in good standing, such as Flor

son appear in the list but once. But
next months magazines may even the
thing up for them.
As to the quality of this great
monthly output of American poetry,
the readers can judge for themselves.
Certainly most of II is pleasing to the
ear and not lacking in grace of ex-
precision. Probably few of the poems
are too deep to be readily understood
| by 4 person of average intelligence.
ard in the thought underlying most of
them there is probably something
reminiscent of other poets who have
gone before But it would be I'M
reasonable to expect these poets to in
vent brand new themes when the old
ones do 50 Well; and'it would certainly
be undesirable TO have all our poets as

for many years the accomplished
secretary Of the club and who is now

from 1850. and the occasion of this
quiet distinctive, broad-paged pamph-
let which is. unfortunately, not PACED
a Typographical makeup not to be
commended-is the passing of the
Guarto-century of the clubs history.

Down in Connecticut there is no law

Gently issued report Of the Connecticut
savings bank examiner that there are
4ol 1epositors in Connecticut institu-
tionS who have deposit accounts OF
over $4,000 each, one account being as
much as So. 1000 This condition of
things prevents any common basis of
comparison between the savings banks
of Connecticut and those of Maine or
Massachusetts, where the savings
banks are institutions mainly for the
benefit of the relatively poor. During

was $13,416.G77. bringing their total de-
