Temperance Statistics.

The latest figures OF science on
intemperance are said to show
that the percentage Of prisoners
committed for drunkenness in the
whole United States in the last
year was % 2. The North Atlantic
and the North Central states have
the highest percentage Of commit
men,s-32 3 and 2r6 per cent.
respectively; and in the South
Central states the percentage is
3.S; South Atlantic states, S, and
the Western states, e., per cent.
1t is believed these figures do
not represent the total, however,
on account Of leniency, and the
fact that in many instances, fines,
instead of Imprisonment are inn
posed upon drunkards.
The foreign horn population OF
the United States drink more than
the native Americans, and people
from Northern countries, like
Canada, Ireland, and England are
more addicted 10 drunkenness than
those from the southern regions of
Europe and from Mexico. The
Latins are credited with superiori-
~ ip resisting incompetence.

said at the conclusion of the exercises.
Mr.. Steinhart is wrothy over the removal

the board of trustees Of the school.
Mr.. Windham announced that Mr.. White
had been offered the SUPPLEMENTARY OF
the Kansas School for the Deaf, a larger
institution than the one from which he
had been displaced. Governor Shallenber-
ger listened with some embarrassment 20
] the praise and the announcement of Mr..
Whites new position and the executives
position was for the time being not a
pleasant one.

The preparations for today's blast
had been going on for six weeks. Thir-
teen holes, IS feet deep, had been
drilled at points about % feet back of

charges in six of the holes and were
working on the seventh when per-
