IiOxbox, June 6. The drink question is
baring a special airing in London just now.
Mr. Goscfaen, the Chancellor of the Ex
chequer, has in his budget bill introduced a
clause to create a fund out of which tbe
County Councils will be able to buy up the
license of any public house they may think
unnecessary, and so reduce the number of
saloons. This is called the "compensation
of publicans" cause, and has set all the tee
totalers and temperance societies in Eng
land by the ears.
The drink question here, as in the 'States,
is the most difficult of all questions for any
Government to handle. It seems impossi
ble to please the temperance people, short
of abolishing public houses altogether, and
as neither the people or the treasury would
erer stand this, we may safely presume that
our children and our children's children to
the twentieth generation, if the world lasts
as long, will be fighting orer tbe question of
booze or no booze, high license or no license
stall.
IIEAVT DBIUKEES.
The English, as a race, are heavy drink
ers, far more so than tbe Americans taking
the people as a whole, but in this country
you never somehow see the evil effects of
drink "to so great a degree as you do in
America. I have known more men go to
ruin from whisky in America in one year
than I have known in 20 years on this side.
This fact is, I think, owing to manycauses,
the principal one being in my opinion the
qnality of tbe liquor drunk. Good whisKy,
even if taken in excess, very seldom does a
man any very great amount of harm, but
bad whisky whether drank in moderation
or in "lashins o' it" very soon brings on a lit
of the ''Jim jams" and causes the drinker to
people the earth in his mind's eye with
more snakes than Mr. Stanley ever saw in
Africa.
I must say that, except in certain places,
the greater part of the whisky drunk by the
people in America is bad whisky. It is too
new, and in addition to this a goodly pro
portion of the stuff sold over the counter has
by judicious manipulation oi the saloon
keeper been "mixed." The barkeeper who
can make a gallon go a mile is nlwnys in
demand, and saloon keepers care little for
the coats of their customers' stomachs so
long as they can keep good coats on their
own backs. Another undoubted evil in
American drinking is the love of the aver
age drinker for the insidious ''cocktail,"
"whisky sour," "mint julep" and "mixed"
drinks generally.
THE AVERAGE IMBIBER.
I am quite aware that your regular old
soaker who is so impregnated with whisky
that all the worms in tho neighborhood of
his grave will go on a protracted spree when
he dies, eschews mixed drinks altogether
and sticks to "straight," but I am not talk
ing now so muck of the regular toper as the
average drinker, and to him the cocktail is
ssmother'b milk. The whisky in the cock
tail may be of the best, but all its good qual
ities are neutralized by the concoctions used
in the mixing.
Another thing that is against the Ameri
can drinker is the climate. Tbe "glorious
climate of Californy," or other States, may
be indeed magnificent, and the soil may
grow more wheat to the acre than any soil
on earth, or pumpkins larger than a house,
but it is very far from being an ideal climate
from a drinker's point of view. You feel
the effect or liquor on you far sooner in the
States than here, and you feel it more in
England than you do in Scotland.
In some parts of the Highlands of Scot
land, notably the "Western Isles, a man may
drink the "barley brce" all day on the hills,
and wind up the evening with countless
tumblers of whisky toddy, and yet wake in
the morning with a mouth like an infant's,
and without a trace ol headache. Could you
do tbe same in Americi with any whisky
unless it be some special brand from the
"Blue Grass." I trow not.
A WOULD-WIDE EVIL.
The evils of drink may be said to be world
wide among a certain class of the popula
tion. In tbe East End of London men and
women make beasts of themselves on "blue
ruin" and vile gin, in Prance on absinthe
and bad cognac, in Russia on "saki," in
India on "arrack" and in Africa on palm
toddy. All the world over human beings
"booze," and will continne to "booze" until
the lamb takes it into its head to go to sleep
beside tbe lion. In England the power of
the public house is just as great in politics
as that ot tbe saloon is with you, and the
more they lover the franchise tbe greater it
will become. "When the time comes here
for manhood suffrage the power of the pub
lic house will be trebled. A drink will go
a long way with the average manhood
suffrage voter.
At present there is a certain amount of
respectability attached to a man who has a
vote He pays rent and taxes and contrib
utes so far as he is able to the common fund.
But when the day comes as come it will,
all kicking notwithstanding when Jack
will be as good as his master, and every
barroom loa'er and East End touch who
never did an honest day's work in their
i ' iBuuiuuicu a cent io me puoiio
purse except in the way of picking oakum,
will have his vote, then indeed will the
publican rule the roost.
SOME POINTS OP DIFFERENCE.
There is a good deal of difference between
tbe saloon and the public house. The for
mer, in the large towns at any rate, is far
better fitted up than the latter. The glass,
the bar fittings, and last, but certainly not
least, the barkeeper, are on a more gorgeous
scale. The saloon is essentially a drinking
place rfliere men go and take their drink
and generally walk out again. The public
bouse, on the other hand, makes a pretense,
at any rate, of comfort. In most public
bouses you have a "snuggery" behind the
bar to which the landlord's or the barmaid's
favorite customers have the open setame, and
where generally may be fonnd one or two of
the "regulars" sipping their "rum 'ot"
and settling the affairs of Europe to their
own entire satisfaction. There is no state
problem that is too difficult for the average
public house "recular" to tackle.
Another appendage of the saloon is want
ing in the public house, viz, the barkeeper.
The place of the man of the white jackets
and blazing diamond is tufcpn hv the bar
maid. The English barmaid is sui generis.
Generally employed for iier good looks and
ability to "chafl," she can bold her own
with a Duke or a pickpocket, and although
she has not the deftness of her male counter
part in making that beautilul circular
sweep of the glasses when mixing a cock
tail, she can with infinite grace and charm
work the handle of the beer pump so as to
Rive the proper 'ead to the pint of bitter or
the pot of 'arf-and-'arf served out to her
customers. They work long hours, and as
often as not marry some "gentleman's
gentleman" who has been among their cus
tomers, and settle down in a public house ot
their own.
b A TLACE FOB EVERYBODY.
Inaddition to the "snuggery" the public
finnse has its nrivate bar lor "rfassM nnt.
" " "'I
that is to say only drink to be drunk on the
premises is served here, and also its "pub
lie" bar and "bottle and iug" entrance.
At the latter the workmen fill their pails of
beer, or the dinner jugs are brougbt to do
filled. There is no law in England against
selling liquor to minors, at least if there is
it is one that is more honored in the bresch
than the observance, and at all times at the
"bottle and jug" entrance may be seen little
toddlers with beer cans almost as big as
themselves, who have been sent out to
"fetch the beer."
Of course, there are large bars in London
that are very similar to an American saloon.
Spiers and Pond have several scattered over
London, and these have none of the usual
attributes of the publio house. There is one
long bar gorgeous in glass and mirrors, and
oenina it a. row or blacfc-troccea, wnue-cui-lared
and white-capped barmaids. The molt
famous of these bars are the Criterion, in
Piccadilly; the Gaiety, in the Strand; the
Fifth Avenne, and the Holborn Viaduct.
They also run nearly all the bars at the
various London stations, and these bars are
conducted on the same principle. Other
well-known bars are the St James Hall, in
Piccadilly; the "Grand," in the Strand,
and Romano's, also in the Strand. None
ot the large hotels in London have bars, and
if you want a drink in a hotel you must
have it served in the smoking room.
A QUESTION OF LOCALITY.
Now as to what they drink that varies
with the locality. In the "West End, in
fact in all the territory west of Temple Bar,
in the large bars the drink is whisky and
beer, and occasionally brandy and soda.
The latter used to be the almost universal
drink of the "swell division," but in late
years it has given place to Scotch or Irish
whisky. The whisky is never drunk neat
as with you, but is invariably mixed with
either cold water, soda water, or apollinaris
or 'Polly.' This may possibly be another
reason why drinking does not do so much
harm. With you the whisky has such a
good start of the water that it never gets a
chance ofmixing.
Sherry, and rarely port wine, is also
drunk, but the most popular drink is beer
and whisky. There is no pushing of the
bottle over the counter here with a polite
reqnest to help yourself, and an inquiry to
follow if you wouldn't like a towel also.
You must name the quantity you desire,
and this is apportioned to you according to
the price you are willing to pay for it. Two
pence, 3 pence, 4 pence or 6 pence being
shortly "5," "3," "4" or "C" o'whisky.
In the public house bars, whether east or
west of Temple Bar,"beer," " 'arf and 'arf."
stout, gin, whisky or rum, 'ot or cold, are
the favorite tipples, and the regular toper
generally selects the liquid he desires" to
get foil on according to the state of his
finances. He may possibly begin on whisky
or gin, and finish up on beer or 'arf and
'arf, of which latter he can, of course, get
more for his money, although the effect is
not so great.
rnocEESs op tehi-ehance.
Many people will tell you that temper
ance is making great strides in England. I
believe it is among certain classes of the
population. There is not nearly so much
drinking among the middle and upper
classes as there used to be, but I fail to see
much difference among that class of the
population for whom temperance legislators
strive most to legislate for. The great mass
of the workers who support the publio
bouses, and whose earnings go to swell the
budgets of successive Chancellors of the
Exchequer by the largest returns from beer
and spirits, are all boozers from tbe word go,
and you might ns well try and rob the
tigress of her cub as make any serious at
tempt to "rob the poor man of his beer."
True there are cocoa rooms and tearooms
and all the various aids to temperance
scattered over the metropolis, nnd they all
pay good dividends. But they are.mere
islands in the great ocean of booze Which
surrounds them on every side.

CRUCIFIED HIS SON.
Little' Jake Ackerman Tortured by a
Most Inhuman Father.
SEYEH LONG HOURS OP AGOHT.
The Lad Will Probably Die as the JBesnlt
of His injuries.
A LTHCMNG YBEI KARK0WL1 AYERTED
Wilkesbaeee, June 15. This com
munity was thrown into a state of great ex
citement, which culminated in the arrest of
Jacob Ackerman, a farmerof Sugar Loaf
township, near this city, who had been
guilty of a most inhuman and diabolical
outrage upon his 11-year-old son, Jake,
which will probably result in the boy's
death.
Mr. Ackerman has a violent and uncov
ernable temper, and when he becomes en
raged he is an object of terror to all around
him. Yesterday he became angered at some
trifling act of disobedience on the part of
the little fellow, and as his passion found
vent in violent language be became almost
beside himself in a frenzy of wrath. He was
not satisfied to castigato the child. He de
termined upon torture.
WOBK OP A FIEND.
He therefore went out to his barn and ob
tained two pieces of scantling and fastened
them firmly together in the form of a saw
buck cross. Then when he had thoroughly
tested it, to see that it would withstand heavy
pressure, he ordered his son down into the cel
lar of the house, and then followed the lit
tle fellow with the implement of torture.
He then caueht hold ot Jake, and laying
the cross down on the floor took the boy in
his arms and placed him upon it. He
strapped the child's arms to the top parts of
the uprights and pinioned his legs to tbe
bottom parts, and then with refinement of
cruelty affixed the boy's neck immovably to
the structure. Then he lifted child and
cross upright, and regarded the work of
crucifixion with diabolical complacency.
The poor little fellow, in his agony, cried
for relief, and the mother and ihe rest of the
family pleaded with the inhuman man to
release the child, but their entreaties only
seemed to intensify his frenzied rage.
He went at them furiously, threatening
their lives and making menacing movements
toward them. Finally he procured a hatchet
and drove them all out of the house. They
fled away in terror, with the cries of the lit
tle sufferer ringing in their ears.
HATCHET IN HAND.
Then, with the hatchet still in his hand,
he returned to the cellar and stood guard
over the suffering boy, threatening to kill
anybody who should come near. Finally,
when the little fellow ceased his struggles
through sheer weakness, finding no one was
about to disturb him or release the child, he
sauntered away, leaving the crucified child
to its fate.
Toward evening a little daughter came
home from the silk mill, where she had been
at work during the day. She heard groans
emanating from, the cellar. She went down
and found her poor brother iu his awful
agony and position. For seven hours his
body had been suspended on the framework.
He was rescued more dead than alive. It is
not expected he can live.
These facts were brought out before a
Justice of- tbe Peace, who issued a warrant
for Ackerman's arrest, and to-day he was
lodged in jail. The neighbors were on the
point of.organizing a posse to lynch the in
human father when the officers of the law
interfered and locked him in the county
jau.
DEOWtfED WHILE BATHING.

Other Sunday Accidents.
Thomas Morris, aged 11 years, was bath
ing in the Monongahela river, near the
Eliza Furnace, with a number of companions
yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock. He
could swim very little, and got out into the
current where the water is very deep. He
called for help, but before any oi his com
panions could reach him he had disappeared
for the last time. The river below was
dragged, and his body was recovered about
6 o'clock a short distance from where he had
gone down. The body was placed in patrol
wagon No. 13 and taken to his home on Mc
Cord street, near South Twenty-seventh
street, and the Coroner notified. The in-J
quest will be held this morning.
A skiff containing three young men
capsized in the Monongahela river near the
Point bridge, on tbe Pittsburg side, but
luckily several parties in another skiff were
close enough to rescue them betore they were
drowned. None of tbe young men could
swim.
Willie Boyce, a boy aged 8 years, fell
from the top of a board pile at the Man
chester sawmill, a distance of 15 feet, break
ing his right arm.
Shortly after midnight Saturday Henry
Boge fell into a sewer drop on Spring
Garden avenue, Allegheny, and was unable
to extricate himself. A pedestrian discov
ered him and sent word to patrol stable No.
1, when tbe officers responded and pulled
him out He was quite severely injured
about the legs and had to be hauled to his
home, 99 High street, in the patrol wagon.
John Bogan and wife, of 28 Carson street,
while crossing Liberty street, near Seventh
street, about 10 o'clock, were knocked down
by a horse and buggy driven by Henry
Frommer, of Magee street. Captain TJnter
baum witnessed the accident and placed
Frommer under arrest. Mr. and Mrs.
Eogan called at Central station a little
later nnd requested Frommer's release, say
ing they had not been injured and believed
that Frommer was not to blame. Their ap
peal did not have the desired effect, how
ever, and Frommer will have a hearing this
morning for reckless driving.
The Coroner will hold an inquest this
morning on the death of James Swan, a
Pennsylvania Bailroad brakeman, who was
struck by a train at Torrens at 12:30 yester
day morning. The deceased lived at Irwin
station and was 23 years of age. He died
ten minutes after being taken to the hos
pital.

100 PIECES
Black Silks,
Cachemire finish, bought from two
of the best makers in the world,
just before their semi-annual stock
taking, which they complete June
30, at the lowest prices for such
elegant goods surpassing any
Black Silk Purchase we ever made
since our advent in the Drygoods
business on Federal street 21 years
ago. Black Silks sell low every
where, and these are not half price,
as it is not necessary to sell rich
Black Silks that way in order to
find quick buyers, but this large lot
is offered much less than general
market prices. See for yourself
this extraordinary offering.
BLACK SILKS,,
75c to 1 1 75 per -yard; worth, as
against closest competition East or
West, $1 25 to $2 25 per yard.

The definition of this old term will be of value to Pittiburgers of the present day, who

possible as one of his thousands of patrons "down at the heels." Just fancy the absnrdity
of those trig, neat-fitting stylish shoes, boots or slippers becoming in a slipshod condition.
There comes the advantage of a dealer who knows how to fit you to foot wear that feeli
comfortable from the word go, and preserves its appearance to the last.

For Summer wear and evening use we offer to Ladies the perfection of shoemakers
skill in our lines of fine footgear. Slippers and Ties of kid and other soft materials In

gentlfr sez but Men and Boys are equally cared for in all the various styles peculiar to
their wants. Our lines of Oxford Ties and Outing Shoes are mostcomplete. Baseball and
Tennis Shoes in great variety. P.us'et Shoes are a great comfort; besides their wearing
