that no explorer can start and say
that he will reach the pole. Many

BEER RECOVERING
FROM THE SLUMP

Washington December 29.-That the
beer brewers of the country are recover
ing from the slump in the consumption
OF that beverage, which characterized the
fiscal year. ending June 80, 1909, when
the internal revenue receipts fell off near
ly S2,5O0OO0, Is shown by the November
treasury statement, giving such returns
from all sources. During November the
taxes on beer increased $6O6, 947 over No.
vember. 1908, which means that just so
many more barrels were taken from the
breweries for ultimate use. For the first
five months of the current fiscal year the
increase in beer tax receipts over the cor
amounted to $777,6 5s, the summer months
OF the current year showing an increase
while In September and October there was
a falling Off Internal revenue bureau Of
ficials say an increase In consumption of
beer Is an indication Of prosperity, as
being a poor mans drink, It's use ac-
curately reflects the trend of industrial
conditions.
The interesting fact also is brought out
that the retail liquor dealers special tax
for the first five months of the current
fiscal year shows q decrease of $2S2, TO-
as compared with the corresponding Pc
riod of the previous year, which the of
ficials say is due to the wave of prohibit

lions of the United States.

Government Building.

A corps of the United States govern
eminent engineers are making a survey
of the site on Nineteenth street for the
proposed new government building. AS
will be recalled, an appropriation of $780,
900 was made by Congress some months
ago for a building at Ensley.
Bids for sites were advertised, resulting
in the selection of a site on the corner of
Avenue G and Nineteenth street. All the
preliminary steps have been taken to
transfer the property to the government,
including order of condemnation of
certain rights by Judge w. l. Grub OF
the federal court The present survey Is
understood to be the first step toward
the actual erection of the building. and
that bids for same will be advertised for

Phillies and Mike Donlin, If he joins
the team, viii dc so as a right-helder
and not as manager.
These facts came to light today when
Murray, as director Of the Philadel-

ter OMara, a fellow-director and stock
holder, showed his hand. And It was
Just az big a bomb which landed in
baseball circles, when Murray and

nounced that Manager Murray would be
ousted and Mike Donlin, the star Of
the New York Giants last year. would
take "Billy's" place.
