1N PLACE OF WATER.

In Germany every one from youth drinks beer unless forbidden by or ganic disease or medical advice. In many of Germany's cities there is pre- judice. if not superstition against drinking from the city's water sup ternal diseases. It Is safe to say that one half of Berlin and Munich men drink no water year in and year out. This is nothing new but is usage most ancient, as Tacitus in his Ger mania relates.

CRAZED BY HEAT
 MAN POSSES BABIES

Lynn, Mass, July 31-Crazed by the heat Joseph Masauit created a panic among mothers and nursemaids on Lynn common yesterday by grasping their babies and hurling the scream ing little ones high in the air and catching them they came down. Be- fore he could be got under control he had tossed several children into the air and sent women with baby car riages hurrying from the shade trees into the broiling sun.
 Casault is 27 years of age and is shoemaker by trade. The temperature at High Rock. near which place Casault lives. was 116 in the sun yes- terday and on the common it regis tered 96 degrees in the shade.
 Casault wandered into the park in the afternoon and for a time attracted no attention. Suddenly he ran to carriage that had a two-year-old child for an occupant and taking the little one out tossed it high in the air. He caught it as it came down and re- placed it right side up in it's carriage. He rushed along to the next one and before the nursemaid could stop him he had the child in the air. After he had tossed a few more babies three persons with strong arms got hold of him, but before Casault was overcome it was necessary for six men to take hold Of shinf The police were sum- moned and it took wagon load of officers to put him into the wagon

FIND OF $1OO, ,OOO
 HIDDEN BY RECLUSE

Fort Plains, N. r., July 31.-More than $100, 900 in bonds. banknotes. and gold has been found hidden in the house of Miss Elizabeth Diefendorf, the recluse who died here last Satur- day, leaving an estate estimated to be worth $1 900, 900. The rear yard is to be plowed and the house torn down if further search promises returns.
 Many of the bonds found had run to maturity, but still lay untouched un- der loose board, or tucked beneath a carpet, or sewed into the lining of a dress that had not been worn for years.
 One nest egg was found in a bonnet fashionable in days before the civil war. another in the hustle of a hoop skirt of the same period Some of the bank notes, notwithstanding their age, were as clean as on the day when they were first counted out from the bank They had evidently not been handled since

ONE AND INsEPARARLE

German sociability, 'Gemuthlichkelt and organization are so strongly in terwoven and dependent upon one an other that it is doubtful if Germany and beer could exist apart. Consid- ering the part beer plays in social functions and the innate fear ,suspi- cion, unsocia bility and self1shness of mankind it is questionable if human ity could successfully organize large vast lasting human movements with out the aid of alcohol.

STEEL BUSINESS IMPROVES UDited States Common on a Pe1 Cent. Basis Cotton Crop Short
(By. Reginald Burton.)

.J -I E
 New York, July 31.-This has been an eventful week in financial circles. The United States Steel Corporation raised the dividend on its common stock to 8 per cent, Union Pacific sold at 200 1-2 and New York Central crossed 139, a new high price for the year.
 The increase in the steel dividend was warranted by the excellent earn ings in the past quarter and the prom ise of net earnings of S127, 900 900 for the full year ending December 31. The demand for steel and iron products has been so heavy during the week that the big makers have demanded a premium for early deliveries. A few weeks ago they would deliver early without demanding any extra price. The demand for steel especially has been so heavy that the Republic Iron & Steel Go. has decided that in the future it will make steel only and will manufacture no more iron.
 The New York Central has been con- sistently strong. There have been many reports to account for this but the truth is that there is a powerful pool in the stock, and this pool is bas- ing its operations upon the increased earnings and the belief that these earnings will show steady increases from now on.
 The stock market at present is high. There is little doubt of this. On an average it is within points of the highest point on record which was reached in January, 1906. The long decline began shortly after that point was reached and did not reach it's end until November when Union Pacific sold at par and other issues sold at prices which look cheap today.
 The stock market from a speculative view point is High and dangerous. and those who enter it should turn about face on the least warning. There is more to be had out of steel as 1-2 per cent. is a small return for money placed in an industrial stock paying that sum on the purchase price. It may go higher and there are many who believe that had the tariff been settled that the stock would have been placed upon a per cent. instead of per cent. basis. Many believe that before the end of the year per cent. will be paid. The earnings will un- doubtedly warrant such payment and those who buy and pay for their stock will lose no money in the long run but those who buy on margin may have some anxious hours. Those who must speculate should confine their opera tions to low priced industrials and to low priced rails which have not yet been taken in hand. Southern Rail- way issues and Denver & Rio Grande and stocks of this class may bring good returns. The market is in strong hands and the big interests have the stocks but they are distributing them as fast as the market will take their sales.
 The cotton market is in a good strong technical position and according to private reports has deteriorated during the month The decline is smaller than last year if reports can be taken as accurate. The trade be-. ieves that the Government report will be bullish on Monday next and for that reason there is Buying on all reactions. steadily as is proved by the increase in the bank clearings for the week.

LABOR FAvoRs GENERAL

The constitutional amendment au- fhorixine Congress to levy general Income tax whenever, in it's judgment, the occasion warrants such action, is now before the General Assembly. Adoption of this amendment is neces- 5lfated by a Supreme Court decision, though we fail 10 understand why, if corporate income tax is not barred by that decision. an individual tax should be considered as barred

General Assembly, The board of fi- nance shall carefully investigate the estimates and other matters submit ted to them, and they shall report bills as they may deem necessary for carrying on the different departments or the state government, and for pro- viding for such institutions and per sons as are proper subjects for state aid under existing laws, for two years from the following thirteenth day of September. The board of finance shall not have power to report. and the General Assembly shall not make an appropriation by way of salary, com pensation or fees, or allowances for any purpose in excess of the amount allowed by law, to any particular per sons or purpose, whenever the same is fixed by law, unless the amount of such salary, compensation. fees, or allowances shall be raised by a statute which has gone into effect at the time when the appropriation is made. All appropriation bills shall specify the propriation is made, and shall be itemized as far as practicable.
 The General Assembly shall not make any appropriation or authorize the ex- penditure of any sum (except resolu- tions for the payment of claims against the state. and resolutions pay ing the contingent expenses of the Senate and House) in excess of the amount recommended by the board of finance except upon a majority vote of the members of the Senate and the House.
 The last section practically nullifes the main purpose of the bill. It pro- vides that by mere majorities of the Senate and House appropriations and expenditures in excess of the recom- mendations of the board of Finance may be made. In fact, the board is merely to serve in ad advisory capa- city, and does not hold the power of enforcing economy. It can only pro-

ALCOHOL AND THE NATION.

Ferrero seems to have missed the power of alcohol as constructor of nations. Maspero says the Egyption wet his clay in the same energetic sprightly fashion as the modern Frenchman, indeed calls them ancient Frenchmen. From Egypt came law, architecture, religion and the greatest germs of science Palmy Greece re- veled in wine as her intellects show in the symposium of Plato and ban quet of xenophon. It seems unneces- sary to comment upon the part a1co- ho1 has played in ancient and modern civilization.

NOT CHEAP IN GERMANY.

German beer runs from the weak 3 per cent. ''gemeines beer" to the strong 10 per cent. Munich. Every drop of beer in Germany has to be of an absolute standard of purity, else the Government throws it into the gutter. Beer is no cheap thing in Ger many, for the common beer is about two cents a glass, and the heavy beer sells for about twenty cents a quart
 In many cases this leads to the po- tato whisky habit, which German science regards as one of the saddest economic evils of the Empire. l..

of female cutthroats, who for many
months past have been committing
with impunity, series of brutal mur-

yesterday, in the village of Kurchino,
thirty miles from st. Petersburg. The
principal culprits are mother and two
daughters, who keep tavern. Assist
ed by other women in the village, they
murdered travellers who stopped at the
inn for the night, disfgured the bodies
beyond recognition, and then threw
them into a rapidly flowing stream
that passed near the inn.
