A Vyliic Consumptive Soothed Bjr ”Tho jDUst U oib o f Soninier.” Emma Abbott sang “The Last Roso of Summer" to an audience pf one a few -weeks ago. She sang the touching words and plaintive music without put­ ting a price on them* She whs not Emma Abbott the prime donna for the moment, bu t a big-hearted, charitable woman, able and willing to. contribute of her riches to soothe the feverish fan­ cy of an unfortunate fellow creature, whose sands of life were nearly spent. Philip J. Boost, who is dying of con­ sumption a t the age of thirty, was a resident of Detroit a few years ago, and a passionate lover of music. . He was a regular patron of the .Abbott season in th a t city, and never jnissed hearing the singer in “Marthu.” Her solo, “The Lost Rose of Summer,’' was his ideal of music. When, he was first attacked by the pulmonary affection which is now end­ ing his days, he came to California in hopes of being benefited by the change of climate. lie gained strength and vigor for a time, and was able to accept light employment, bu t pot for long. For weeks he has -been' bedridden. With hope of life gone, poor Boost had little ti> wish for beyOnd a speedy termi­ nation of his sufferings until Emma Abbott began an engagement a t the Baldwin Theater. The young m an read every criticism th a t the press af­ forded, and with the reading came a longing for “The Last Rose of Sum­ mer.” ' He implored his physician and rela­ tives for permission to attend just one performance of Flotow’s masterpiece. The man of medicino pronounced judgment th a t Bo<|st could not live to 'make the journey between his bed and the theater. I t was impossible—he was too utterly helpless to even walk to a carriage. The dying man, usually tractable and gentle, was persistent in refusing to be resigned. “If I could hear Emma Ab­ bo tt Binging .‘The Lost' Rose of Sum­ mer,11 would be ready to die,” he re­ marked to Airs. M. A. Hoteling, a.friend of the family, os'she sat a t his bedside. Mrs. llotaling lives dt the Baldwin Hotel, the temporary home of the prima donna. It was not a difficult task to convey the information of Boost’s pas­ sionate longing to Miss Abbott, and Miss Uotaiing accomplished u through a third person. In the midst of a violent downpour the Indy was surprised by ft call from Miss Abbott. The prima donna was so cloaked and hooded .that Airs. Uotaiing did not recognize her a t first, hut tlio fair visitor soon stated her errand. “Now, Airs. Uotaiing,” sho said, a t the conclusion of her recital of what she had heard, “I want you to take me to your young .friend. If my singing will give him one moment’s pleasure or forgetfulness, I don’t think 1 can spend the afternoon to hotter advantage. ” “But the we.,iher—It Ls raining,” be­ gan Airs, notallng, pleased, but sur­ prised. “Never mind the rain; i t won't hu rt me a bit, and X. have set my heurt on this, Will you accompany me?" Mrs. Uotaiing needed no urging, and TEMPERANCE NOTES.

Joy came near killing in this instance. I t was several min­ utes before he recovered sufficiently to even attempt to express his gratitude, and then his visitor refnsed to listen. “Save your strength, my friend; you have but little left, and use it in making your peace for the life to come.” The strange interview was between the two alone and it lasted nearly an honr.. Then Boost's friends were sum­ moned for the song. There was no1stage, no costuming, and all the properties bu t one were lacking. In her left hand the actress held a blush rose, and with the notes the petals fell to the floor— 'lie the last rose of Rammer, Left blooming alone. Boost lay on his pillow as one en­ tranced, breathless lest A note of the favorite to which he had been So long constant should escape him. llis were the-only dty eyes in the . room. I t is doubtful If more pathos ever entered Into any composition th a t Aliss Abbott ever attempted. At the end Boost dropped back utter­ ly exhausted. The strain was too much, and for a few moments it was fenred th a t the excitement had killed him. He rallied sufficiently Inter on to to say good-bye and express his thanks, and In the evening he penciled a request th a t the leaves of the rose be preserved and sent to his mother In Detroit,—San Francisco Examiner. * s e n t e n c ed FOR LIFE. The Punishment Iulllctcd Upon, a Persist­ ent Hum Seller. A man of fifty years of age has been sentenced to sixty-three years’ impris­ onment for selling liquor, being eon vieted on 723 out of *1,000 indictments. That sounds like law in some other country than this, but it is what has happened to G. F. Kibling, a citizen of Norwich, Vt., a little hslmlet ju st across the river from Hanover, the seat of Dart­ mouth College. Every college graduate for the lost twenty years a t least knows “Kib.” for he has defied the low and the prophets as exemplified by the august faculty of the college, and has supplied the urdeut more or less surreptitiously to all the students who chose to call on him. Its quality has been terrible, its cost ttaf from moderate, yet i t was liquor, and that was enough. Time and time again has the faculty “nailed” him, Countless times haB the victim appeared in court and penitently taken oath not to sell again. . He has even signed documents prom* ising to keep the students “dry,” which would be •posted upon the college bul­ letin board for the delectation and guidance - o f , the boys, who on th a t promise were- allowed to get their meals a t his hotel, for Mr. Kibling was enterprising and. ran an “opera-house," billiard' hall, boarding-house and blind bar-room all under one roof, to say nothing of skat­ ing-rink, and . other adjuncts too nu­ merous to be catalogued. All this was in Hanover. llu t not long ago there were signs of trouble, lie saw a bigger storm than usual brewing in the faculty headquar­ ters, stirred up mainly by Prof. Emer­ son, the instructor in chemistry. Ilo therefore moved back across the river into Vermont. * and there set up his gods, culling his place the Pine Tree Inn, Or some such name. The State of Vermont, us is well known, has a vigorous prohibitory law- on its statute books, although it is not always well enforced. But it can be, as Mr. Kibling found out to his grief. Learned' professors <went to work col­ lecting evidence, and to suclv good ef­ fect that they procured the modest number of onfe thousand indictments against the astonished Kibling for the illegal sale of liquors. His soil, true to his early training, promptly turned State’s evidence -against him, and he was brought into court. In vain did he try his old dodge of swearing that he would tempt the thirsty no more. Useless was his peni­ tence, though accompanied by tears— ivmethod that had al ways been potent before. A “compromise” was arranged whereby Kibling *wna tried on only seven hundred and twenty-three ln- ilictnients, and t,u all these was found guilty nnd sentenced, to sixty-three, years or to pay a Hue of eight thousand dollars. The luckless Boniface chose the former alternative, and lias begun his terrible term of Imprisonment.— San Francisco Chronicle, • KING ~ALCOHOL. A H*h Hypothesis.

The Census Office has issued census bulletin No. 22, which embodies the preliminary report on the quantity of distilled spirits consumed in tlio arts, manufactures and medicines in th e United States during the year ended Dec. 31, 1853. The report slidws th a t the total amount of all forms of distilled spirits consumed by wholesale druggists and manufacturers, eleemosynary Institu­ tions and retail apothecaries amounted to lO,97ft,8+2 proof gallons. This report Is the first ever made th a t was a t all trustworthy, as previous reports of the same nature were merely estimates made by various persons, based upon such miscellaneous information on the subject as could easily be secured. Census schedules to the number of 400,000 were sent to all the druggists, wholesale and retail, manufacturing concerns using distilled .spirits, hos­ pitals, dispensatories, asylums and other institutions of like nature in the United States, so th a t the vast number of detailed statements returned to the census offico enabled the special agents to secure accurate and interesting in­ formation. Of the total number of gallons of dis­ tilled spirits consumed in the United states In 1889, ».745,153 gallons were of alcohol, 2,029,90ft gallons of whisky, 1,458,048 gallons of cologne spirits, 266,874 gallons of brandy, 232,295 gal* Ions of gin, 189,591 gallons of rum and 75,932 gallons of liighwines, making the tptfJ consumption 10.97«,812 gallons. ■Cologne spirits is used for many pur­ poses for which alcohol, on account of containing certain impurities, would lie unsuitable, '/h is is particularly true in relation to the preparation of a large number of fine chemicals. Whisky, brandy, rum and gin are likewise used In the manufacture of proprietary med­ icines and contain ■ pharmaceutical preparations, tinctures and medicinal wines. . „ According to the report of the Com­ missioner of Internal Revenue for the twelve months ended June 80,1889, 10,- 739,784 proof gallons of alcohol were withdrawn from bond, on jtbe payment of the tax. Inasmuch as Only 6,745,15a proof gallons are accounted for as th e result of census inquiries there Is aid . unexplained balance of 8,994,582 proof gallons left. This discrepancy may be due to a certain quantity used in the arte which has not been reported to the census office and another quantity used for drinking purposes. I t appears that ’alcohol, as such (in some cases diluted with water ),,t is used by certain foreign elements?- I t is drunk to a great extent by Poles,. Nor­ wegians, Swedes, - Finns, Hungarians and Russians. Large dealers in the northwest familiar with this particular trade furnish the information that fally one-half of the alcohol sold in th a t sec­ tion is drunk as a favorite beverage by these foreigners. Competent authori­ ties in New York.City estimate th a t about fifteen, barrels of pure alcohol are daily consumed for drinking pur* poses alone in that city, and a consider­ able amount is used for the same pur­ poses in the coal regions of Pennsyl­ vania and other sections, and a very considerable quantity finds its way to the low grogshops of the country, where it is compounded into low-grade whisky ftnd retailed over the bar. The returns sent 'in from all the vari­ ous sources of information sought by the census office have, been compiled into various tables, and show th a t out of the aggregate 10,076,842 gallons of distilled spirits consumed during 1880, the wholesale druggists and manufac­ tu rers used 7,966,040 gallons, the. elee­ mosynary institutions vised 102,790 gal­ lons and the retail druggists used 2,007,- 412 gallons. In all the interests and spirits com­ bined New York led the States with' 1,700,843 gallons, closely followed by. Illinois, which is credited with using 1,806,823 gallons; Pennsylvania is third on the list with 1,142,9+1 gallons; Missou­ ri comes fourth with 1,071,068 gallons, barely leading Massachu'sctts, which took care of .1,018,080 gallons, all these figures representing proof gallons. The eleemosynary institutions of the country consumed 2,837 ordinary gal­ lons of cologne spirits, and of .this amount the District of Columbia used 1,433 gallons. In view' of the fact th a t the retail druggists are often accused of selling whisky, brandy, rum aud gin os bever­ ages, the table devoted to the retail apothecaries Irf especially interesting. New York druggists used and sold 142,- 160 gallons of whisky in 1889; Missouri, 95,150; Massachusetts, 93,956; Indiana, $+,304; Illinois, 5K260; Kansas, 25,517; Iowa, 17,227, aud Maine, 10,0+7. Alftssa- chusetW druggists used and sold 45,238 gallons of rum in 1889, which was 45 per cent, of all the rum used and sold by the retail druggists of the country, and her retail apothecaries also lend in the amount of gin they consumed—37,- 405 gallons, as against New York*' score of 19,583 gallons. * In making up tills report tlio census office used the factors furnished by the Internal Revenue Department in con­ verting owlinary to proof gallons. The average strength of alcohol and of cologne spirits ivas taken at 1,89, or, in other words, a t 88 percent, above proof; th a t of liighwines a t 1.50, or 50 per cent, above proof. Whisky, brandy, rum and gin were taken aa a t proof.—Chicago News. ______________ FACTS AND FINDINGS.
