BEER GUzzL|NG IS DECREASING
 FIGURES SHOW
Advance of Prohibition legis lation Over the Country Has
 Marked Effect

WASHINGTON. July 21.-As a re. suit of the prohibition wave the act ual quantity of beer and whiskey con sumed in the United States has de creased markedly during the last two years. Between four and i've million barrels of beer marks the decrease for the current year. The whisky figures are not complete. but it is in propor- ton to the beer decrease,
 In 1907 the treasury department collected its dollar tax on 59.567 SIS barrels of beer With the figures for one month still to come in, the year 1908 shows consumption of only 50,- S93.042 barrels. Estimates for the month of June suggest the addition of between four and five million bar rels. or more than a billion pints. The average drink of tbeer is half pint, so Americans may be said to have taken some two billion fewer drinks of beer in 1908.
 The amount consumed in 1906 was 55.G4l .S5S barrels. Previous to that year the returns of the. internai reve- nue collector had shown a steady in crease. Now the amount seems 10 De on the down grade.
 At the same time 1t is claimed that alcoholism is on the increase. Those who drink. 1t appears, drink more and more to their harm.
 It is probably true to say that al coholism is on the increase" said Matthew E. O'Brien, congressional representative of the national prohr bition committee. This does not mean, however, that the actual amount of intoxicating beverages con sunled is on the increase. It simply means that the habit of drink and the bad effects of drink are taking a stronger hold upon those people who do drink As result of prohibition, however. not so many people are drinking. The figures of the internal revenue bureau tell the story

 RESPONSIBLE
 FOR D|vORCEs
Cardinal Gibbons Replies to Justice Browns Address
 on Subject of Divorces

BALTIMORE, Md, July 21.-Cardi- nal Gibbons, in an interview, replied to remarks of former Supreme Court Justice Henry B. Brown, on the sub ject of divorce. before the Maryland Bar association at Old Point Comfort last week. The cardinal. after ex. pressing his high esteem for the for mer justice, both as a citizen and a jurist, said:
 "In a recent convention of lawyers held at Old Point Comfort Justice Brown, while referring to myself in kind and courteous language, has talk en exceptions to my views on divorce and remarriage. He is reported to have referred to the founder of the Christian religion as an idealist' whose sentiments, while suitable to less favored times and circumstances, are not adapted to this enlightened age.
 | The learned iurist will permit me | to say that the teachings of Christ have been the basis of all Christian legislation for nearly 2000 years and continue to be the light and guide of hundreds of millions of souls. Christ's Law Rules Civilization. We are indebted to thls Divine leg islator for the Christian civilization that rules the destinies of Europe, North and South America, Australia, and large portions of Asia and Africa. Neither Solon nor Lycurgus, nor Jus t.nian nor Napoleon, nor any other framer of laws ever exerted a tithe of the influence which the gospel of , ~L
 And there is no subject which He treats more fully and clearly than the question of marriage. which is the very foundation stone of our family and social life In three of the gospels He proclaims the unity of marriage and permits separation of married couple only for the cause of adultery. I do not see why a law which has; been enforced and cordially accepted in every age and country where Chris tianity dominates should be consider ed obsolete or impract,eable in the. United States.
 "The multiplication of divorces,"
 the cardinal continued, ''is largely ascribed by some writers not to our divorce laws, but to the eager and reckless manner in which ministers of God cfficiate al marriage services. have no word of apology or excuse for the scandalous conduct of some
 clergymen in this respect But are mot these persons confound.ng cause
 for effect?
 Loose Laws to Blame.
 Divorces are multiplied not by min
 isters willingly assisting at ill-assort-
 ed marriages, but because loose leg islation on matrimony renders it easy for married parties to annul the mar
 riage bond. If the civil laws of all our states were as strict as they are in South Carolina and in Canada, the persons contemplating marriage would
 seriously and prayerful reflect; they
 would study each others disposition and temperament before engaging in a contract which would bind them for life.
 | And certainly the peace and good order in family in life South Carolins and Canada can be favorably com pared with the domestic conditions
 existing in those states where di. vorces can be easily obtained"

NEW YORK, July 20.-Juan Bal sinde. a young Cuban. member of yell to do family of Havana. shot himself at an East Fourteenth street lodging house and died later in Belle vue hospital.
 He left home almost year ago in the wake of theatrical company. in which Louisa Won Oesten, a German girl, living at S2 Mott street, Brook iyn, was a soubrette.
 The treatment he received at her hands is said by his friends to have been the reason he made away with himself.

 "f met him at Union Square few minutes before o'clock" she said. We talked for an hour and quarrel ed all the time. He was angry be- nause I went out with other fellows. [ said: Juan. there is no use quar-
 cling this way. You trust me and ! trust you, and we'll go with whom we please We can get along that way. If not, we'd better call 1t quits aow'
 | "The last thing Juan said as he vent away was this: Louisa, I'll get even with you for all this 'why a Cuban should be infatuat- d with a German girl is more than can see I certainly wasn't infatuat- ed with him.
 Letter Of Suicide. Young Balsinde reached the lodg'n house at about 1 o'clock, and shortly afterward shot himself. A letter was
 ound lying on Balsinde's dresser. ad. dressed to the actress. "I have had enough trouble with my people already" he wrote. T am going back to Cuba 70 my mother. who will forgive all my foolish acts. will become again the ar,stocratic young man who left Havana a year ago to follow an actress. You stated that that other sweet faced. angelic girl loved me for my money and not for myself. You swore that you loved-not my money-but Juan Bals 'nde You were false It vas she who loved me for myself. and not my money. and you who loved my money, but no, myself. The money is gone. and you go also"
 He charged her with having tried 70 break up his friendship with an. fther girl and adds:
