Newspaper Page Text2 temptation came so suddenly—an euro ly don o the Mediterra ean. a hirlwmd or the Caribbean. One awful surg-* of temptation and they ierish. And so we often hear the old story: ‘*l ha In t s**en my frimd in a great many rears. l\ e were very glad to meet. He-aid 1 must drink and he took me by the arm and pressed me along, and filled ihe cip u -til the bubhies ran ■ ver the eige, and in an evil moment all my good res *iutfi>ns were s-*ept away, and to the outraging of God and my own aoul, I fell.” Or the story is: "I had hard work to supp rt my family. I th raght that bv one false e try, by one decption, by one embezzlement, I mignt spri .g out free from ail my tr u’ole; and the temptation came upon me so fiercely I c.mid not delib erate. f did wrong and having done wrong once, I could not stop.” 0, it is the first step that costs; the second is easier, and the third; and on to thela-t. O ce having bioken loose from the anchor, it is not so easy to lie the artod strands. How of;en is it that men are ruined for the reason that the temptation comes from some unexpected q larter. As vessels lie ii Margate roads, s fe from southwest wind ; but the mud changing to the nor heasf. they are driven helpless a dgo down. O, that Go 1 w raid have mercy noon those upon whom there comes tne sud lan swoop of temptation, lest they perish, becoming Casta way .••! castaway ! By talking with sea captains I have found out also that some ve se s oo#\e to tins ca lamity through sheer reokie s ess. There are three million men wiio follow t e so for a livi ig. It is a simple fact that th average of human life on the sea is lesstha twelve years. Tuis comes from the f ct that men by familiarity with danger s une times ecome reckless —the captain, the helmsman, the st kcr. the man on th • look out, become reckle s, and i o nne out of te shipwrecks it is found out that someone was awfully to bla ie. So I have to tell you that men are morally shipwrecked througn sheer reckle sness. The e are thousands who do not ca e where they arc in spi itual things. They do not know know which way tuey are said ig, and the sea is black with pirat cal hulks that wul 1 grapple them with hooks and blind fold them, and make them “aalk the plank.” They do not know what the next moment may bring forth. D iftiug in their theology. Drifting in their hatdts. Drifting in regard to all tnir future. No God, no Curist, no settled a -of enternal felic.ty; but all the time coming nearer and nearer Cos a dangerous coast. Some of them are o ■ fire with evil habit, and they shall burn on the sea the charred hulk tossed up on the barren beach, .vauy of them with great troubles, financial troubles, do mestic troub.es, social troubles; but they never pray for comfort. With an aggra vati nof sin they pray for no parcio . They do not steer for the lightship that dances in gladness at the mouth of heaven’s harb >r; reckless as to where they come ou;, drifting further from God. fur.he from early religious i Alienees, further from hap piness; and what is the wor t thing about it is, they tiro tak.ng their families along with them, aid the way one goe<, tne probability is t ey will all go. Yet no anxiety. As uncon cious of danger as the passengers aboard the Arctic o e moment before the Vesta crashed into her. Wrapped up in the business of the store, not remembering that soon they must quit all their ear hly possessing. Absubediu their social position, not knowing that very soon they will have attended the last levee, and whirled in the last fchottishe. They do not delib-rately ctio se to bi ruined; neither did the French fr.gatu Mol sa aim for the Arguin banks, but t o e it went to pieces. I wish I could wake you up. The perils are so augmented, you will die ju-t as certai ly as you sit there unless you be tir yourself. Are you wiliiug to become a castaway? Y u throw out no oar. You tae r.o surroundings. You wi.tch no co npass. Y*ou are not calculati g your bearings while the -ind is abaft, and yonder is a loug line of foam bounding the borizo ■. and you will be pushed on t .ward it, a.id t ousa ds ha\e perished there, ad you are drivi g iu t o sami direction. Heady about! Down helm! Had down! Man the life hunt! Pud, my lads, pull! “He that being often reproved ha deue.h hi neck, shall be sudde ly destroyed and that with, ut remedy.” But some of you are saying within yourselves: “What sual! Id Do? Do? AVhy, my bro.her, do wi.at any sip does when it is i trouble. Lift a ii tress sign .1. On the sea thero is a flas i and a b om. You listen and you 1. ok. A ve-sel is iii trouble. Tiie distress gu iis sou ided, or a rocket is sent up, or a lauket is lif ed, or a bundle of rags—anythi g to catch the eve of tie pss-i :g craft. So if you want to lie taken off tue wreck of your sin, you must lift a distress signal. The publi can lif ed the <iistre<s sig al whe i he cried: “God, be merciful to me a sin ner!” Peter lifted the dist ess signal when he said: “Lor , save nie, I par ish! The bliod itum lifted the distress signal when he said: “Lord, that my ey, s may be opened.” The jai er lifted the (lustres' signal when 1 e said: “What inus 1 do to be saved? 1 And help wdl never come to sour soul until you lift soui" signal. You must in ke some demonstration, give some sign, make some heaven piercing ou’ery f r help, lif:ing the distress si nal for the church’s prayer, lifting the distress signal for leaven’s pa-don. Pray! Pray! The voice of the Lo and now sou ds in your oar • “In me is thy help.” Too proud to raise sucli a signal, too proud to bo saved. There was an old sailor thurnnl ig about in a mall boat in a tempest, l’he larg r vessel bad goue down. He felt ne must die. The surf was broaking over the boat, and he -a.d: “I took off ray life belt that it mights on be over, and I thought somewhat iudistinctly about my frie ds n shore aud then i bid the n good-by like, and I was about sinking back aud giving it up, when I saw a bright star. Tec raids *ere breaking away, ad there that bloused star ■hone down on me, and it seemed to take light hold of me; and somehow, I cannot tell how it was. but somehow, while I was trying to watch t hat star, it scent 'd to help me and seemed to lift me.” O. sinking soul, see you not the glimmer between til' rifts of the stor.n cloud? Ttiat is the star of hope. lieathstruck. I ceased the tide to stem, Wiitm suddenly a star arose, It was the star of Bethlehem! If there are nny here who consider them selves castaways, let me say God is doing everything to save you. Did you over hear of Lionel Luke ■ ? He was the i ,ve:itor of the iusub.uergible lifeboat. All honor is due to his memory bv seafaring men, as well as by landsmen. How many lives he saved by ms invention. Iu aft >r days that invention ■was improved, aud oue day there was a perfect lifeboat, the No thu nberla id ready at Ramsgate. The lifeboat bei ig ready, to test it the crew came out and leaped ou the gu iwale on one side to see if the boat wou.d upse ; it was impossible to upset it. Then, amid tbe huzzas of ex cited th usands, that boat was iauncho 1, and it has gone and come, picking up a’ great ma y of ihe shipwrecked. But I have to tel! you now of a grander 1 uuch ing, and f om tne dry docks of hea e:i. Word came up that a world was beati g o i the rocks. In tbe presence of the pote la o. of heaven the life boat of tbe world’s re demption was launched. It shoved off the goide i sands a aid angelic nosanna. Tue surges of darkness beat against its bow, but it sailed on, a dit comes ia sight of us this hour. Itcome-foryou.it corn s for me. Soul! soul! get intfc it. Make one leap for heaven. Let tuat boat go past and your opportunity is gone. I am expecting that there will be whole families here wbo wi 1 get into that life boat. In 1833, the Isabella cini6 ashore off Hasting-, Engia .and. dhe air was filled wi.h sounds—the hoarse sea. trumpet, tue crash of the axes, and the bellowing of the torna do. A boat from tbe shore came un lor the stern of the disabled vessel. There w ire womeg a.M children on hoard that ves el. Bo tae of thesa do s jumped into the small boot and sai I: “Now give us the chll Iren.” A lather who stood on deck took his tir-t b irn and threw him to the boat. The -ailor caught him safely, aud the next, and the next, to the last. Still the sea recking, the s oral bowling. “Now,” sail tie sailors, “now the mother;” and she loapei and was saved. The boat went to the shore; but before it got to the shore, the landsmen were s > im< a'.ient to help tne suffering peo ple that tuey waded clear down into the surf with blankets aud garments, an i prom ises of help and succor. So there are w ole families here who are going to be saved, and saved ait gather. Give us that child for Chr.st. that otcer child, that other. Give u* the mo her, give us t e fath r, the whole family. Tne must all come iu. All heaven wades in to help you. 1 claim this whole audience for God. I pick not out oue man here nor one man th re; I claim you all. There are s >rne of vou ho, thirty years ago, were conseciatod to Christ by yiiur parents iu baptism. Certainly I urn not stepping over the right b uu l when I claim you for Jesus. Then there are many here who have Ixsen seeking God for a good while, md an 1 not right in claiming you for Jesus? Then there are some here wh > nave been further away, and you drink, aud you swear, and you bring up your families without any God to take care of them w n you are dsai. Aid 1 c'ai n you, my brother; I clai n all of y .u. You will have to pray sometime; way not begin n w, while ail the ripe a id purple cluster of divine i rotnise bind over into y >ur cup, rafber than tio'tpiio yrar prayer u nil your chance is past, aud th-* nignt drips, and the sea washes yo i out, and the appall ing fact shall be announced that notwita standingall your magnifies t opportunities, you have become a casta wiy. HE { WEDDING RINA KILLED HER. Strange Cause Ass na i for the Death of Mrs. John Jasper. New York, Aug. 24. —The recent death of Mrs. John Ja-per, at the home of her father, a will-know i architect, N>. 44 West Thirty-second street, B lyonne, has cause 1 nolitile interest in that city from its sin gularity. Her wsi ling ring is the appar eit enn-e of her death. Mrs. Jasper is .he si ter-in-law of William H. Ja-tier, ex-pres ldeutof t e Bayonne R iwl ig Association, and sister of ex-Freeholder William Mei lai i. When the Tidewater Oil Compa y’s tanks were struck by lightning and set nfi e a week ago Wednesday, causing a bright con fia ration, Mrs. Jasper, alt.wuga a mile distant from the fire, was much a feet and by the force of the storm aud suffered from heart flutterings. Tie next morning she noticed that her finger was swelling about the golden circlet. Eff irts to reduce the swelling were made by her family, but with no effect, and the finger s veiled u nil the ring was entirely hidden. It caused her such pains t ia: she was threate .ed with convulsions. D•. Fields of Bavonne was summoned, and at once said that the ting was stop dig the circulation of the booil and interfering wit the heart actio i. If not removed, lie said, it would cause death. He called in Dr. Stillwell, ami after administer! ig chloro form. they worked for four or five h urs at the fatal i ing until they got it off. Mrs. Jas er was still unconscious, and did not ngiin leave her bed alive. She died oil Saturday eve ing. Dr. Fields st ted yesterday that heart failure was the assig ed cause of death, and that the chloroform was not necessarily the cause. He thought the excitement of the fire and tne pressure of the ring broug .t death. ON THE DIAMOND. Results of Can Ginn Bstwesu the Gauntry's L3a.Ua j ream. Washington, Aug. 25.

From the New York Mail and Express, “If you want to sea a fino lot of pahns you should come in tho early part of the fail. Then we are getting ready for the winter c tmpaign. It’s out of season now.” So said an old Sootca nursery man ap town, who makes a specially of the fas lonable palm. But ia spice of this he led the reporter through two green-houses completely filled with them. In all tho e must have been several hundred of the plants. "Be t thora’s one thing,” suddenly said ho. “that you’re g t g to see now that you c uldu’c s e in the fall, and that’s the ‘Hoarders.’ Yes, the'b ardors!”’ And he pointed to a palm w iereon was tied a little w odea tag. On tuis appoa ed a fa hio .- able name and address. “The lady has goue away for the summer,” he c inti'uued, in explanation, “a id while she is away her palm stays here Or, I have many plants to take care of for private arties. “Yon see,” as ho s rolled along, "most varieties of the palm are very so isi ive in deed, a.d i a private house their care is generally left to tueservan s. a;ul vou know just what that m ana. N>w the te npera ture about one should never tie leas than 6d% somewhere between that and 80°, and shouldn’t vary much. Bat a servant iu cleaning the room waoro a palm is, w ita ut thinking ab ut it, nml in tho wiuter, too, will ope i a window light upon it. And then a few days l iter I am a ked: *Oh, what is the matter wit i my pulm? Its leaves are all turning v Ilea-.’ "Besides this tue . aim nee is a good lot of water to lie poured on it fro n above so that ail the leaves will be well wet. It’s very seldom that a plant in a private h rase gets a good wetting. For, you see, it go leraily rests ou a tine carpet. But the business is principally in the renting out for balls an i receptions. We deal with tne people direct and not with the caterer. Whoa a i order s given we first visit the room and study out j ist what plants will be needed tor the proper arrangement. Tnat, you know, is a series of groups, groups of p acts of all sizes, built downward ir m a high center. The cost of the service varies a good deal. A fair estimate on the whole would -e from SSO to JUKI. For so no of the largest plains it is worth from $3 to $5 apiece to cull and arrange. A good arrangement in a room of any size takes at lead fifty plants." Asa spade is a spade, so is a palm a palm, but there are many different varieties. In general use is the broad fan palm or “iitania.” The most popular, it is said, is the “areca,” with its long, thin, grace!ully bending leaf. There is the raphis, wuh leaves spreading out like fingers in its ex cellence, the most sought for of all, certain specimens being valued at SIOO. due sago palm has a diff-rent use from the oihe s. With its broad, horny and plat ly visible stump it is not ornamental. It is the funeral palm. Two of its loug. graceful leaves are fastened together at the stem, whore a bunch of roses is also placed. A “V" is thus formed, signifying “victory.” Other varieties are very many. For the most part palms are found in B azil and Mexico. Central America con tribute* a few. China and Japan furnish the sago palm.

FORTUNES OF A PRINTER Checkered Career of Edmund G. Ross, ex-United States senator. From the Chicago Tribune. TorEK A, Kan., Aug. 19.—Kansas repub licans with long memories are discussing with evident reiish the fact that LJmuud G. Ross, late governor of New Mexico, is r.o v a common printer in the office of a Santa Fe newspaper. R >ss has not beon popular here siuc- the time when, as junior United Stales senator from Kama*, be saved Andrew Johnson from being ousted from the presidency. Iu ho impeachment trial only one vote was needed to mike the two-thirds necssary to convict Jounsou. Ihe Kansas repu li caus expected Ross to cast this vote, but he failed to do so, and immod ately incurred their deadly enmity. “Old Jim” Lane had previou3lv Ist prestige in Kmsas through his frie dslnp for Johnson, and he co n mitted suicide because he fully realized that h s political career was at an end. Al though ha:ixl by a tnaj: >rity of his con stituents, Row remained iu the Senate until his term expired, and then quietly re sumed his f inner ecu ration of printer. 51 .st men -v ul 1 have liaen unfitted by ■ ongressmnal life for ibis radical change, but R s r*gi. ded it as tlie in > t na : oral thing in the worl 1, a id f equen ly told his Was ungtoii associates that he w mid e found at the caie when h:s aenat >r al duties were over. Hi; cares - certainly furnis iei some striking iliusirati ms of the ups and downs of life. Tne secret of t is may he found iu the fact that in mey lias uo ar tic dar value to him. He asbo u a spend thrift, and up to this time has anifes ed the most sup e.uec mtemptfor the a. mighty dollar. This child of fickle fortune was born ia Ohio in 1825, aud ihi ty years later, w ien he j lined tae Kansu > “free sellers,” was a fi si-class printer with strong journalistic to Mencius. With his brother Willta uhe soon established the Kansas Tribune, and tor two years it was the o lly free state piper in the territory, its predecessors having been destr >yed bv tile pro-lavery men. Tne opportunity was a grand one, and the young Ohio iu main the mo; of it. The file-of tuo papei are treasured bv the srate tiisio ieal society, aud they furnisa inte esting reading. In those days to eouiiCiaie abolition doctrine was to court death at the ha ids of the border ruffians who made this region their headquarters. AS AN EDITOR. In 1858 Ross became e litor of the State Record of Topeka, aud a year later was n member of the c invention which framed the present constitution of the s;ate. The .Slate Record passed into other hands in and Hois entered the nr ny s n private. He came out a major i • 1865 with a m -st ere ‘Suable record ad took up the printer’s “stick” again, the foil .wing o;r Suua or Line commit 1 el suicide at F >rt Leaven worth, and Ross was appointed by Gov. Crawford to fill the vaoa cy until the next sm<ion of the state legislature. Jan. 28, 1867, lie v. as elect'd to succeed Lane ou the fourth ballot. Pomeroy was at that time the >enior Kansas se ;ator. Although possessed of few s'atesmanlike qualities and without training in debate, the new Venator was ble-sed wit i plenty of hard se so, and had learned long before that “si once is golden.” So he “saivod wood,” and looked wise, and soon received credit for t eing a wise mail. The beginning of the impeachment trial found R ss i.Mis oosed to regard Johnson asguilty, although the rep .blicana afterward claimed that he hail promised to vote for conviction. After tlie evidence was all in 100 repress alive Kan-as republicans, the noted Dan R. Anthony among them, caused this dispatch to be sent to Senators Pomeroy aud Ross: “Kansas has heard the evidence and de mands the conviction of the President.” Senator Ros replied to this as follows: "D. R, Anthony and Others: I do not recognize your rig.it to dema and that i shall vote ei or for or 'gainst conviction. I have take i an oatii to do impartial justice according to the constitution and 1 ws, and trust t at I shall have the era rag • and ho i es y to vote according to the dictates of my judgment and for the highest go od of my country.” I’ue supreme moment of the famous trial came soon afterward, and Ros ’ ballot was thrown for acquittal. The vote stood 35 to 19. Soon afterward he received this dis patch, sig ied “D. R. Anth my and Others”; “Your vote was dictat 'd by Toni Ewi g, noth your oath. Y ur cent acts and greenbacks. Ka is .s repudi ates you, as she does all perjurers and skunks.” L. W. Bailey oM>avenworth telegraphed to R ss as follows: “B obably the rope with which Judas ha ged him-elf is lost, but the pistol with which Jim Lane committed suicide is at your service.” K nsas, then as now rabidly republican, went wild when the news of Johnson's ac quiital was re eived. R> s’ name -as on evry lip. Tuesday, May 19,1868, the s ldters of the Eleventh Kansas —tne regiment to which R is< or.ce helo ged—burned him in effigy in front of the s a ehouae in Topeka. The republican newspapers used up tneir stock if epithets in denouncing him. The Leaven wo th Conservative, the leading paper of t e state at that time, ediied by D. VV. Wilder, once editor of the Rochester Express, said the morning after tue news came: A FLAGELLATION. “Johnson is acquitted because Kansas is corrupt. The fate of the nati m depended on one vote. It was found, ad it came from Kansas. Edmund G. Ross, nil ol I set ler of this stale, a free s ate man and anti-slavery republic n, cast that vote. L was left for aio state whose noblest citizen was John B. own, the state whose soil is hallowed all over with the bio id of men, women and children, the state which lias only four words on its banner: ‘Equal rights for all,’ t > be betrayed and outraged by this creature R us. llis dea l—dean to honor, dead to liberty, dead to K nsas. Let him g i his o > n way. A half-civilizsd bush whacker would spit in poor Ros.’ faoo if ae should dare 1 1 speak to him about honor. Every man in the United Sta es has road toe news from Washingtoi and instinct ively felt that R*s from Kansas was a coward and a 6neitk. Wherevar Ross lives r travels that record will follow him.” Everydav for week* the Conservative pri ted edit rial' of tiiis character. Mr. Wilder is now s ate superinte dent of in surance, and to-dav I qu-stioned him re ttardi g his editorial de uneiati >ns of Ross. “For heave ds sake," ho said, “don’t revive those foul articles. I was a youngster the i and oug t, to have been kicked for writing such stuff. Ross wasn’t half as bad as 1 pic urea him, and I don’t know bu he did l ight after all in refusing to convict John son.” Ross defended himself s well as ho c raid. He said in the Senate that he could not, wi h the light before him, declare the Pres ident guilty of higa crimes and misdemean ors on mere differences as to governmental polity. Finally he challenged auy mail t • appear before the S raa e aud exhibit evi dence showing that he had been b-ibedti vote as he did. In K msas the charge of bribery had frequently been made, but it was never sus: and ied. The year 1871 catne, and with it R iss’ ia-t day in tho Senate. He quietly disappeared from the capital, and, a few tn nth - later, was heard from as editor and propriet r of Ross' Caper it Coffeyville, Kas. In 1873 he was a printer on the Lawrence Journal, and sub'equently he starte i theLiw-rence Standard. He moved this paper to Leave iworth in 1875. He was now a democrat, and nreac ied democracy for so me time in the Standard. Kansas finally becoming distasteful to him, e went to No v Mexico, and his friends soon lea nod ttiat ho was f llowmg his old trade on an Albuquerque pa rar. Soon after Cleveland became President Kansas aw- ke one morning to disc iver that the much-maligned E Iniund G. Ros had been made g ivernor of New Mexico. A number of iiis old friends, republicans at that, including Senators I igallsand Plu nt>, Geo ge R. Peck. ex-Gov. Cra vford, Charles S. Glesd, aud T. A. Unborn, aided material y in securi g this fine office for the old-time printer. Mr. Ross en tered upon bis duties .n stentatiously and 1 made an excelle it govern r. Kansans who : visi ed Santa Fe duriug bis term were lospitably treat'd by him, and many re- I versed their opinion of his character. Now, af;er four years’ service at the head of the territorial govern uent, he has dropped bark to tne obscure place which is always ope i to him, a. and which he appears to re gurd with as much satisfaction as the other and higher ones e has filled. But a• an old Kansa* man said to-day: “It isn’t safe to wager that Ed Ross will re main long at the case. Four years hence he may again be govor or of the territory, ora consul, or s enabling of the sort. A jierson of s leb varying fortunes cannot be considered to have settled down for good and all until he lies in his coffin.” BIG HUMAN B-”1R TANKS. New Yorkers Who Drink 100 Glasses of Lager Every Day. From the yew York IV aid. In the c >urse of one of his lectures Baron Liebig, the great German chemist, says “that an ounce of rye bread contains more nourishment than a gallon of beer,” while in other parts of bis writings he makes additional derogatory remarks regarding t at aniiior fluid which and lily slakes tue thirst of hundreds of thousands. The baron was a noug tie first to attack the Teuton’s national beverage, and since the opening guns wore fire 1 stu lents of scieuce and medicine at ho ne and abroad have poured volleys ot sdversea gument into the ranks of tue beer dnnko s, and en .eavored by theoretical demonstration to show that the :uo.-t ba eful effects accompany anything like steady devotion to tne popular extract of malt and hops. The opinions of the iea ned gentle nen have been well utilized by the laborers in the prohibition vineyard, and upon one of those sedately pi in ed ■l idgers which the agents of that party paste alo g rural by-ways and railway lines, appears the terse statement: “Beer is poiso In the face of this painful fact it can be truthfully said that there a e hundreds of men in this city alono who daily dispose of from forty t > sixty glasses of this same “po.son," aud yet, like Oliver Twist, yearn f r more. They are the employes of the big b ewerits. The stories of the beer drinking capabili ties of t ie-o men are the principal slut in the locker of the adherent of Bock and Filsner. Whe i tlie tempera i e agitator presents him with a tract which informs nim .hat physical ands hritual perdition lurlc in eaou f am-topped schooner, or w. eu hispnybieir.n elis him that a stiuence from beer is necessary to the attainment of his perfect neai.n, tie pooh-poohs and bids them go to. “Beer hurt anybody!” he exclaims, "non sense— why, there are men in the b ewe ies *no simply live on it, drink 100 gl ,sse3 a day and don’t feel it at all.” Then ho launches out into the standard tales of the b.ewe y man's capaci y. It ■as ii search of a veriilcatio of these legend; that a you g man went forth one sunny afternoon last week and made a round of the big brewing ho iso of New York. The first establishment visited by the reporter was Fred. Odperman’s Turtle Bay Bi-j .ery, i : E.asi F -rty-fifth street. Mana ger Piati very courteously to k the reporter over the building and gave him the sought for information. The employes’ bar was situated iu a cool archway directly be ind the office. Upon it stood a keg, the contents of ivuich ive e rapidly served out to the thirsty workme by a bent and grizzled old fellow, who, as so >n as the keg was empty, replaced it with a fresh o.te. “By conii g here, “said Mr. Piati, “our men can have ail t. e beer that Cney can comfortably drink. ihe free ba rel is failed tlie ‘s ernenwirth,’ aud the same n .ma is given to the man who attends to it. ihe 'sterneuwirth' nas one of tue easiest positions in t e place, as he has nothing t o do except serve the men and i.cc sionally help himself. Tne average number o: glasses drunk by our people du ing the day is seventy-five a ( >:ece, each glasi hold ing half a pint, in addition to which each man puts away three solid meals. It would seem, according to the established laws of hygte o, that dyspepsia a;d other evils atom la it up >n suen au enor mous abso ption of liquids ands ilicls would soon lie productive ot all varieties of iilneis. but sucu is n.t the case. These e i know only one knd of sickue s, and that is rheu matism. They never get intoxicated, and duriug the six years that I ha.e bee i in Mr. Oppermaifs employ I have met with o lly one case in which it was necessary to dis cha go a muifor drunsemes'. It is the custom with some b e % ers to issue to each employe a certai i nu nber of tickets, which tuey tail cnange at tlie house bar for pint glasses, but we place no restriction upon our me i, firstly, because they never abuse our c mfldence, and drink to excess, and secondly, as every etnp oye can get all the beer he wa its, tickets or o tickets, it would be enc un-aging dishonesty to limit them. “The surroundings ia which thev work are very trying to the health and hence the lueuuiatisni that I spoke of. After working in the wastnng room at a temperature of fully 00 degrees, it is frtquently required of them to go to ther .king room,*the iced vaults wuere the beer is cooled and drawn off, and there the mercury only registe rs 35 degrees aid4o and grees. The only cnange in their dress which they make when they go to the vaults is to put ou the light jumper that’s usually left off ween t loy’ro working outsi le, and as they are often wet or perspiring when they e iter the lower temperature rlie imutism is liable to eventually remit. Every thing eon adored, the biowerynun, de-pi'e the amount of beer that he and .sp sen of and th hardness of his work, is one of the most heathful persons h t you’ll meet in a day’s walk. The greater part of them Ist to old age, too. While our rank and tile daily encompass 75 half pints per capita, we h ive a few brilliant stats in the and ink ing line-who consider 100 glasses per di-nn to be only ordinary exercise. There are six of thorn, and their aggregate weight comes pretty close to 1,520 pounds. The first of these, Fore nan Marti l Storz, tips the sc tie, at 265, Driver Adolph Hi zel ae kn iwledge. to3LS a .and Brewer Jos Keste i inever is a feather-weight of 33J. The lightest one of the lot is Fritz Roll r, who is a mere phantom of 200. The fifth, Kas pai-sK urer, a driver, is a gia it of 6 feet 3, while the sixth and ast, acoilecter named Ig :atz Herr, Is our champion. “Olr. Herr is the man who elevates the alance to the 310 pound nark, aud despite his ability to punish the contents of an en ire keg at one sitting, lias never yet bee i known to become intoxicate I. Mr. Herr has been known to look through the bo: tom of his beer glass 125 consecutive times, and it is the belief of his friends that his p ssibdities ia this liue have not yet been fully developed. As the regula ion q arter barrel, or keg, contains 85 glasses, it can bo seen that Mr. Herr w uld bo equil to one aid one-third. But while Mr. Herr pre serves his laurels untarnished iu our es tablishment, he is ooliged to doff h in to ths champion jof all the champions, an attnene ■ f th ■ Kress ComDauy, who runs a little place cal.ed the Hole-in-the-Wall on Fifty-fourth street. His name is Feed Faurbach. aud whan it comes to drinking beer th re’s nobody on earth that can tou h hun. If you want t * see a wonder go aid see him.” The reporter went. Tiie Hole-iiid .ip-Wall was soon disc ivered and wi.h it MS Fahrba ui. As remarked b fore, the day was bright and pleasant, and Mr. Fahrbach, succumbing to its som nolent influence, had plseidl. fallen asleep in a ciiair be *ea h his vine and fig tree. It was after ward le rued that he, like Na poleon, could lose himseif in slumber at wul. As he sat there in the sunlight adrift in dreams, he looked like a vivified sketch of the Pickwick Fat Boy that had st pod from o.e of Cruiksiiauk’s uages. U.ioi bei ig tapped o i the shoulder he awoke ia sections and greeted tue visitor with a smile. “I know a ttiiug or two about beer,” he said, “and any kind of information that you want regarding it Ica i give yon.” It bei g di'dose i to Mr. Fahrrach that he himself was the obj -ct of the call, I e blushed modestly and told the re Tor ter to fire sway. “How many glass a can you drink a day?" “One hundred and forty.” The cham pion of champions continued without fur ther question: “Yes, that’s my record, 140 glasses in a day, while on one occasion, under the stim ulus of a bet I fi ushed up 100 glasses in ten hours. Although I look much older my age is 39 years and my weight is 330 pou ids. I’ve been a brewery man f r thirteen years ad all that there is to be lear ie i ab ut the business I’ve picked up with John Kress & Cos. I went into their establishment wren I was a b>y of 16 and started in to drink beer just as naturally as a baby takes to milk. I've been keeping it up ever since, and can’t see that it had any bad effect up n me, and as far as getting intoxicated is concerned IM guarantee you that I can dri: k 100 glasses in a day and be just as sober as a judge at the end of them. In all the years that I’ve been in the business I’ve seldom seen a m novercome by her unless he took hard liq lor on the outside. The lieer drinker who aims at success mustn’t mix. Its the most healthful dii.ik in the world, an 1 the doctors’talk agai istit is all bcsh, for if there was anything in it, and it read, did hurt pe iple, the>’d bury a ma i a day out of every brewery in town. I guess I drink as much beer as anvb idy in the city, but I don’t look like a sick m in do I? Of cause I couldn’t carry off tne cup for a 100 ysrds dash, but I’m just a* strong as the next and can put in as g, od a day’s work as any of ’em. Sickness bothers ine but very little, and the fa nily doctor’s al most forgotten how I look, which, to my mind, is a pretty good showing for a steady beer drinker.” Peter Doelger, Jr., of the great Doelger fi. m, was tne next one seen. “Our men,” he said, “drink from twenty to thirtv glasses a day, eat big hearty meals and llourish upon the diet.” Simla - statements were made at the breweries of H. Clausen & Cos., F. &M. Schaefer, John Kress &Cj , Henry Elias, Ru sain & Hermann, Everard’s a id George Enlet’s. The average number of glasses taken by the average N‘w York brewery man ranges from twenty-five to forty daily, and, Baron Lieoeg et ah to the co itrary, their ti pie see ns to exercise a decidedly healthful i fliionce. Tuey are as rosy cheekod and muscular as any class of work ingmen to be f u and in the c u i ry. MEDICAL.
