When Pliince Battinberg comes to America with the British squadron with in a short time, there will be an unusual display of friendly sentiment between the United States and England. Great preparations for the entertainment of the distinguished visitor are being made and if the program is carried out, the British will have no fault to find with the hospitality of their American cous ins. The sailors of the American ships stationed n-ar New York have con tributed ten thousand dollars to en tertain the visiting sailora. They know that the oflicers will be well tak en care of and their efforts will be con fined to making it pleasant for the crews. COMMON SENSE. Word comes from Manila that the na tive of Luzon were somewhat disap pointed in not seeing Miss Alice Roose velt appear in royal roles and sparkling jewels, as might befit the daughter of the head of a great nation. What they saw was a young American woman in a plain white dress, with a sailor hat and no display of jewelry. Some of the people of Manila did not see her at all and if they did she was not recognized aa the daughter of the pre-ont. for they were looking for embkiu-, alty.

In the present advanced state of the science and art of burglary it seems likely that ability to play the piano will noon become an indispensable requiste to admittance to the profes sion. . 0 Pittance seems to multiply millions. It has been told over and over again here how one of the world's wealthiest men was Pedro Alvarado, the Mexican miner. Now "The Mexican Herald" takes occasion to deny that Alvarado to pay Mexico's national debt He is an esti mable citizen of Parral, I'hihuaha, and a very lucky miner, though not pwse. ing the fabulous wealth with which he i ervditcd. He has never offered to pay the national debt. o Civil service eommisMtms seem to have a hard time in enforcing repect for the laws forbidding officials to levy cam paign contribution'. In the federal ser vice thev are met bv the statue of limi tation, and in the state by writs of prohibition, based on denials of power even to inquire into abuses in the civil servee. o . Petitions will be the order of the day for the coming week. Many men will take this method of paying certain lit tle delinquent political debts, by sign ing the plea for consideration at the primaries, and then reversing themselves at the polls to the undoing of the late creditor. o Don't forget there are t'nce poliee commissioners to elect al tiic coming primaries and polls. Not one, as indi cated in the rece--: or.lhan.' 0 of the common council. Make no ini-tiKe about this. 0 The local political hatchet is not out just yet, but it is in course of careful sharpening and will lie in indubitable evdence before manv suns. 0 Post yourselves on the intricate work ings of the primary law. 0 Saved His Life. J. W. Davenport, Wingo, Ky., writes, June 14, l!W2: "I want to tell you I believe Ballard's Snow Liniment saved my life. I was under the treatment of two doctors, and thev told me one of i my lungs was entirely gone, and the other badly affected. I alo had a lump in my side. I don't think that I could have lived over two months longer. I was induced by a friend to try Bal lard's Snow Liniment. The first applica tion gave me great relief; two fifty cent lottles cured me sound and well. It is a wonderful medicine and I rec ommend it to suffering humanity." 25c, AMERICANS PREFER BEER Consumption of That Bever age is Increasing. Washington, (Yt. IS. The figures of the internal resenuo bureau iitlicate that the tendency of Americans is to give up the drinking of whiskey and drink beer instead. The preliminary report of Commis sioner Yerkes for the fiscal year of which ended June 30, 190.1, shows that the consumption of whiskey was mate rially less and that of beer immensely greater than in the previous fiscal year. There were withdrawn for con sumption during the year of distilled spirits other than made from fruits I 10.14.1.7$! gallons as against 11, S4S.372 gallons in the fiscal year of 1!H4. This is a decrease in whiskey consumed of 704,(MO gallons. There was likewise a decrease in the quantity of fruit spirits consumed, the total for the last fiscal year having been l,.V.tr,- (021 gallons against 1.0;i7.2.'l gallons in the year before. I The consumption of Is-er was 4!,- (i.")!lj40 barrel for the last fiscal year against 4SJ208.1M barrels in the fiscal year l'.Htf. The increase is 1.2.M.407 liarreN, each barrel containing III gal lons. This is 37,"42.210 gallons of the foaming Wverage greater than in the past year, and represents aliout one half an extra gallon for every man, woman and child in the I'nited States. As women und children do not drink all the increase is on the part of the men. II. A. Taylor, assistant secretary of the treasury, is one high official who believe that whiskey consumption is decreased and with its decrease is a de crease in drunkenness. He says he Is lieves the decrease in drunkenness is due in great part to the substitution of beer for whiskey. On this subject Mr. Taylor said: '"My observation. personally and officially, is that leer is taking the place of whiskey to a large extent and that drunkenness is on the decrease, largely as a result. Right in the social life at Washington there is far h-.vt whiskey consumed now than there was a few years ago, while the lighter drinks and beverages, principally Is-er and wine, are mi the increase. Beer, for instance, never produce drunken lies unless a H-ion makes a glutton of himself. I lied for vears in Wis. cousin among the Cerinan N'ople there! I never knew a more sober or oiderlv tcople, and yet they drink lxs-r plenti fully and freely and so did their wive and children, if the little ones wanted it. In my opinion it is the treating habit that brings about more drunk euness than anv other cause, and as the drinking of beer is considered not so hight toned as whiskey, youngsters starting out in life do not offer lecr t those they are treating. With a change of sentiment there will bc'lesa whiskev drunk and far less drunkenness." Cures Chills and Fever. (1. W. Wirt, Nacogolohe Texas, says: "His daughter had chills and lev er for three years; he could not find anything that would help her till lit' I used Herbine. His wife will not keep , house without it, and cannot say too ( L . !. ftll. CM I... V.....L. II.. rl llliicn lor Ik ov, cuiu vj ri imn druggist. DR.
