COMPETITION IN BEER.
Peculiar Methodfl Adopted In Denver for
Handling the Cool and Foaming.
[Denver News.]
"Gimme a beer."
The bartender grasped a glass, fills i
with the foaming fluid and elides it along
j the polished counter with that peculiar
j flip which causes it to siring around "han
[ die outward.
I The customer swallows down half of the
contents of the glass hastily, as does a
man used, malt liquors, then a pained ex?
pression spreads over his face, he expels
whatever portion of beer remains in his
mouth, and places the glass back on the
?bar with ever outward indication of in?
ward disgust.
"What kind of slop is that"
"That's Western Brewery beer."
"Ain't you got Zang's?"
"No."
"That settles 11,-1 ain't huntin' no dish?
water to drink." Out stamps the custo?
mer, while the proprietor thoughtfully
mops off the bar with his apron.
A few minutes afterward in comes an?
other, or maybe three or four together,
who go through a similar performance un?
til the saloon man is at the very ver^e of
despair and resolves to change his brewer
"What about it?" you ask. Nothing
except that it is a bubble on the surface,
indicating the bitter war between the
breweries, the fierce struggle forbnsiness
and the methods in use by the English
syndicate which has done Denver0 the
honor to purchase a couple of its largest
bretveries, and in conducting them in n
fashion patterned after the exulted stan?
dards of Biind Beggar lane, Bitter Cry
district, Whitechapel.
English syndicates are high and holy
things brought into being for the purpose
of performing needed missionary work
among that submerged portion ofthe hu?
man race which does business in America.
'When the many millioned outfit which
purchased the Zang and West Denver
breweries, and in a momentary lapse from
sanctity swelled the stock without adding
to the assets, took possession .of those
properties, the announcement was made
that they would become ever-present ob?
ject lessons, inculcating higher principles
and granite-like probity. The prospectus
apart from its glowing description of bar?
rels of output and dollars of profit, was
carried in the very odor of sanctity. But
; then, when you get down to rustling, it's
I different.
! "Any new competitor can be crushed
out for $10,000," is the remark credited
to Adolph J. Zang, and it is the key to
! the situation.
"I have more than $10,000 to fool them,"
\ is the remark credited to Fred Neef,
f All this took place soon after the open?
ing of tho Western Brewery, owned by
I Fred Neef, which began to put its product
I upon the market about eight months ago.
! The saloon business was not so good as
it had been, because of the closing law,
and the old syndicate found that life in
the far West was not a dreamy trip with
a dredge along the golden sands of the
river Pactolus. The new brewery began
to place its beer in large quantities, and
the promises of the pretty prospectus bid
fair to fall of realization.
The manager of the syndicate proceed?
ed to put his $10,000 scheme into opera?
tion. Arrangements were made with
Glasson's band of hired hoboes, and with
other trusty individuals ready for any
dirty work. One or two men in each dis?
trict were empowered to work the deal
and engage such hoodlums as would go
into it for a few cents and the beer they
would get. The little army would sally
out and proceed along until a saloon was
found bearing a beer sign other than that
of Zang or the Denver company. Then
the comedy briefly described-at the be?
ginning of this artiGle would commence
0 The tramps, one after another, would
enter, buy a drink and spit it out with all
manner of grimace. At the bar of the
People's Theater the thing was worked
continuously for two or three hours until
the proprietor began to think there was
something the matter with his beer The
dodge was worked systematically in every
part of the city, right up to a couple of
days ago, and will probably break out in
some new spot tomorrow. The new brew?
ery begau to lose customers rapidly.
"Your beer is all right," they said, "but
we can't sell it."

FEATURES OF KENTUCKY LIFE.
The Gambling That Goes on at County
Fairs Surprises Northern Visitors.
"I visited a number of the county fairs
in the bluegrass region of Kentucky last
year," said a prominent New York law?
yer to a reporter for the Chicago Evening
News, "and I was very much surprised at
the liberal use of raopey, Way out there
100 miles from Louisville and 125 miles
from Cincinnati could be found handsome?
ly dressed voung men and old men, who
showed that they had never been accus?
tomed to bard work flourishing their bills
like so much paper. They were not city
chaps, but country born and bred. I could
not understand it. There are no manu?
facturing interests there to speak of, no
mining nothing but agriculture, a pur*
suit wVieh requires the hardest of manual
labor; vet these men sported as soft palms
as the "bsghcsUbred city folk. Further
than that, they had plenty of money and
used it liberally. I failed to find a solu?
tion to mv problem until one day my host
took me behind his house, pointed to large
fields of green leaves and said: 'Do you see
that?' I answered in the affirmative and
he said: "That is tobacco. I will get from
1,800 to 2,000 pou.ngs per acre nff that field
and sell it for from W/& to 16 oents per
panutf- 1 did not work very hard for it,
either. The principal trouble 1 have is
to see tb&k the negroes do the work and I
attend to the gathering and selling the
crop.' The problem was solved. Where
the'Northern farmer by hard labor gqf $25
or t-ie Kentucky landlord by the aid.
: help made from $125 to $150.
*^Ut |St which surprised me the most
was the amount of gambling that is per?
mitted. "Why, sir, I have seen men at
