DRINK BILL IS LARGE
.. V
New South Wales Spends Mil
lions for Spirits.
Figures Are Startling—Canon Boyce
Presents Statistics Showing Ex
penditures by Beople for
Liquor in 1910.
Sydney. N. S. W.—In bis annual re
view of the drink bill of New South
"'ales for 1910, a self-appointed task
which he has been carrying out with
praiseworthy perseverance for nearly
39 yesr>. Canon Boyce draws attention
to some interesting points. in the
first place the bill reaches the enor
mous total of Jl5.724.9S4 tJ2S.624.900),
an increase on the preceding year of
£407.202 (J2.026.500), due in a great
measure, pf course, to the increased
prosperity of the people. Of this tre
mendous sum more than half was
sj>eat on spirits, which shows an in
reastd consumption of 12S.470 gallons
as compared with 1909. The sum of
Ji2.231.922 C$11,159.600) was spent on
culontal beer, the "workingman's bev
erage. ' showing an increase of consid
erably over 1,000,000 gallons as com
pared with the preceding year.
Out of the total sum of £1,413.914
(J7.>.*69,50o), or less than one-fourth,
went to the revenue, either in the
»'<ape of license fees or customs and
eicise. Against the revenue obtained
rotn the drink truffle Canon Boyce
plaits a huge debit balance amount
tag. he thinks, to at least £2.000.000
• JlO.POO.OVd), through the maintenance
*-f our reformatories and jails, asylums
itir the insane and various other itsti
"lUccs which are rendered necessary
to a large extent by the abuse of in
toxicating liquors, an expense which,
f course, has to be borne in mind
when considering the question as it
should be considered—from a moral
a» well as a financial point of view.
The cost per head of the population is
placed at £3 10s. 6d. (J17 13). or £7
12s 6d C|37.ot) for a family of five
; ersms. This is a very vague way of
reckoning it. and children, for the
most part, and large numbers of ad
ults never touch intoxicsting liquors
ax a!!. Still. It is the only way sta
tisticians have of making the expendi
ture clear to the inieliigeuce of the
people.
One year's expenditure sounds bad
enough, but when we reckon by the
i< it becomes appalling The drink
bill of New South Wales, for example,
during the ten years since federation
.as established amounted to nearly
£50 000.000 (J250.00),030>. Why. the
debt for the whole state only amounts
to ££7,500,000 (J437.500.000). which,
therefore, represents a drink bill of a
little over 17 years. The annual inter
est and charges on the public debt
amounted in 1908 to £3,413,G28 ($17.
068,100). or £2 3s. 5d. ($10.56) per
head; so that the drink bill for one
year is within a million of double the
amount named.
However, we are not singular In this
respect. There are others, and they
are very nearly as bad—some of them
in fact are worse. Among the lat
ter are Queensland with £3 15s. lOd.
($18.42) per head; New Zealand, £3
13s. id. ($17.74) and England, £3
12s. 4d. ($17.58). The United Kingdom,
on the whole, however, is Is. 3d. (30
cents) per head below our standard,
Scotland and South Australia being
about on a par—£2 13s. 2d. ($12.92).
and £2 14s. 6d. ($13.22) per head re^
spectively. Victoria is also below us
with £3 7s. 9d. ($16 4.4) per bead, as
against our £3 10s. 6d ($17.13).
Canon Boyce draws special attention
to the fact that the drink bill in the
no license districts of New Zealand is
only 16s. 4d. ($3.92) per head, a sig
nificant fact if the figures are correct.
We do cot wonder at Queensland
heading the list, because the climate Is
so hot in the summer months that
liquor vending of all descriptions must
be a roaring trade.
U. S. SEEKS ISLAND TITLE
Palmyra, 600 Miles From Hawaii, Dis
covered by American in 1852—
Proclaimed Part of Kingdom.
Washington— Rumors that Great
Britain intended to take possession of
Palmyra island (in reality a group of
fifty islets), lying about 600 miles
southwest of Hawaii and almost in a
direct line between Australia and the
Panama canal, resulted in the subject
being made a matter of inquiry unof
ficially at the state department the
other day.
Officials professed ignorance of any
issue being raised as to the ownership
of the island, but admitted that title
was vague.
Palmyra island was discovered in
1852 by an American shipmaster, was
proclaimed part of the kingdom of
Hawaii in 1882. and was annexed by
Great Britain in 1889. The question
at issue is whether the British annexa
tion cancelled the prior Hawaiian
title, for if it did not. then Palmyra
island would probably be held to have
been annexed to the United States in
1898.

Germany Wants Them to People the
New Territory She Got Through
France.
Berlin.—Dr. Nekes. an authority on Af
rica. has found in the neighborhood of
new German territory surrendered by
France a tribe he describes as "the
I people of the future,” assigning to
i them practically all the civilized vir
tues, as v ell as original strength and
manliness.
The new nation is a branch of the
mighty Farg race called Jaunde. They
number half a million now, and are
rapidly increasing. The whole na
tion is pushing westward from its na
tive region near the sources of the
White Nile.
Dr. Nekes says the people are amaz
ingly intelligent, very powerful physi
cally, are lond of work and have an
astonishingly rich language, in which
i they can impress in native idiom the
I most modern ideas of the most mod
; ern things—such as cigars and tel
ephones.
They are divided into three social
classes—freemen, freedmen and slaves
captured in war. Their religion con
British to Abolish Bands
Heavy Expense Main Reason That
Mjsicai Part of Military Force
Will Be Dropped.
London.—The British army without
a brass band—such is the doleful
proph'-ey of the Pall Mall Gazette. It
says that a definite proposal has been
brought forward that all the brass
bands of the army except those of
the guards regiments, shall be abol
itbcd. and that the sole music provid
ed for the future shall be that of the
drums and fifes and bugles, with the
pipers for the Scottish regiments.
Some years ago fresh regulations
were made as to the maintenance of
regimental bands. The cost of them
fell entirely on the officers. The new
regulations threw some of the expense
on the public purse. But even now it
:s considered that in a modern, busi
ness army the officers should not be
liable to this kind of expenditure.
Every officer today has to subscribe
one day's pay a year to support hie
regimental band; and that does not
cover all his expenses in the matter.
Take the case of the Royal Artillery
band. The public grant Is $4,500 a
year, and the officers of the regiment
are called upon to provide a further
sum of some $15,000 annually to main
tain their splendid string band.
Eggs Cost 75 Cents a Dozen.
Warren, Pa.—Although Warren is In
the center of an agricultural region
eggs have jumped to 7o cents a dozen,
and hotels and restaurants complain
of an egg famine.
No Need to Be Poor.
Pittsburg.—“Society has plenty of
money and there need be no poor if
resources were properly distributed.”
Prof. Edward T. Devine of Columbia
university told an audience.
I sists partly of ancestor worship and
: partly of belief in ghosts. Considering
that all evil comes from witchcraft
' and sorcery, they have witch finders.
Regarding women as the source of
all mischief, when a chieftain dies
they beat his wives to make sure that
they punish the right one. Nekes re
gards them intellectually on the level
of the Europeans in the middle ages
lie says they have the same fixed
ness of purpose, unspoiled by modern
softness.
Strong efforts are to be made by
the German government to persuade
this rapidly multiplying people to set
i tie in new German territory, where they
will be carefully looked after until
they are fully able to provide for them
selves.
BEGGAR SAVED UP $50,000
Found Dead in Hovel, Sullivan Had
Bequeathed $5,000 to a
Sister in Utica.
San Francisco.—Michael F. Sullivan,
a beggar in San Francisco, for the last
35 years, was found dead in his hovel
with bank notes showing over $50,000
to his credit in several local financial
institutions.
Coroner's deputies who searched the *
room found a will, hidden underneath
a mattress, wherein Sullivan bequeath
i ed $5,000 in cash to his sister, Mary
A. Sullivan, of Utica, hJ. Y., "because
of her kindness to my mother at the
time of her death.” The remainder of
| his fortune shall be placed in trust,
the interest to be delivered to his sis
ter every six months, according to the
document. When she dies the sum
must be divided among other heirs
under the laws of this state.
Sullivan lived by begging-Trutt. Ten
years ago he was arrested as a va
grant. Then he possessed $25,000, ac
I cording to detective James Mackey,
j the arresting officer on that occasion.

Mistletoe Is Under Ban
Tulare County to Have Law Declar
ing Parasite a Public
Nuisance.
Visalia.—No sentiment attaches to
mistletoe in Tulare county since, fol
lowing a detailed report by the horti
cultural commissioner, submitted to
the board of supervisors, the county
lawmakers instructed the district at
torney to draw up a law in which mis
tletoe will be declared a public nui
sance.
The law provides that the existence
of mistletoe will be considered a mis
demeanor upon the part of the own
er of the property upon which the
pest exists, and a heavy line or im
prisonment, or both fine and im
prisonment, are' provided as punish
ment whenever no adequate steps
are taken to eradicate the pest
Schulz states in his report that In
addition to causing the death of
shade trees as well as deciduous
fruit trees, the mistletoe la the host
for all varieties of scale and that
it is therefore a constant dany-*■ to
this district. Appropriation will be
made for eradicating the parasite
from trees upon public roads and
other public property.

WHAT TEDDY WROTE
SAID IN 1911 HE WOULD NOT BE
A CANDIDATE.
THE LETTER IS MADE PUBLIC
Former President Talks Freely of His
Prospects and Gives Reasons for
Entering the Campaign.
Washington.—Colonel Roosevelt's
denial of stories sent from Washing
ton that the Taft administration had
reason to believe be would not be a
candidate for the republican nomina
tion against the president and his
statement at Oyster Ray Saturday'
that Secretary of the Navy Meyer and
Secretary of War Stimscn “could not
have said he would not be a candi
date.” caused to be made public here
a letter written by Colonel Roose
velt. June 17. 1911, denying reports
current at the time he would support
Mr. Taft, which concluded as follows.
“I have expressed myself perfectly,
freely to a number of men in this
matter, always to the same effect;
telling you, for instance, personally,
and those who were with you at lunch
at my house, and telling Gifford Pin
chot, Jim Garfield and Congressman
Madison, and Billy Loeb, and Secre
tary Meyer and Secretary Slimson all
alike, just exactly what J have said,
always, that 1 would not be a candi
date in 1912 myself, and that I had
no intention of taking any part in the
nomination for or against any candi
date. Sincerely yours.
•THEODORE ROOSEVELT."
Says He Heeded Call.
Oyster Bay.—Colonel Roosevelt’s
own views of the present political sit
uation and his reasons for entering
the campaign were explained by him
Sunday.
As he trudged along the country
road from Oyster Bay village to Saga
more hill, oa his way home from
church, the former president talked
freely of his prospects, and briefly
stated that his reason for entering
into a political campaign as an active
| candidate was that men who share
his political beliefs convinced him
they needed an effective leader. As
to the prospect of victory Colonel
Roosevelt expressed the opinion that
on a popular vote he would be the
choice of his party by a big majority.
How far this result might be modified
by the interposition of the machinery
of politics he was unable to say.
Colonel Roosevelt said he supposed
a great many persons would not be
lieve it, but that he had not wished
to enter the fight.
“So far as a personal victory is con
cerned, I don't care,” he declared.
To Quiet Title to Railroad Lands.
Washington.—Senator Norris Brown
has presented to the senate the peti
tion of citizens living along the Union
Pacific railroad in Nebraska calling on
congress to quiet title to their lands
lying adjacent to the roadbed of such
railway. The contest is over the
width of the right-of-way. Under the
original grant by congress the Union
Pacific was given four hundred feet,
but the company has. until within re
cent years, treated the grant as car
rying therein but two hundred feet,
and have reserved only that much in
their deeds to settlers. The amount
involved according to the estimate of
W. A. Prince, attorney for the settlers,
i is about two and one-half million dol
lars. Mr. Prince presented to the
| house committee the side of the set
I tiers last week.
