Suggestions to Visitors.

The Bristol Times man has had
some visitors who did not know that
type are easily disarrsnged. HIS
remarks spply to Dayton. Here is
what he says: ave don't in the
least object to friendly calls from
acquaintances. But we do most en-
phatically kick WHEEL visitors persist
10 sitting on the imposing stone and
amusing themselves by digging the
heels of their boots into the form
to ascertain the hardness of the type
therein: standing the press on end to
find out whether it will balance or
not, may be a funny trick, though
candidly We foil to see the joke. But
the worst trial of all is when a visit
or takes full galley of local items
which by the way are as difficult
to gather as Cape Town diamonds,
or a horn of Bristol whisy when the
cash is not forthcoming-snd turns
it ups;ded down to satisfy tiendish
curiosity as to whether the type is
glued to the bottom or not. That's
what's the matter with us. That's
why we protest"

The ChartZ Case.

The Eureka Leader of Wednesday
says; "Col. w. w. Bishop is about
to circulate petition asking for the
pardon of ALT. Chsrtz, which will be
presented to the Board of Pardons a I
their meeting in July. The petition
will be generally sighed, aud Colonel
Bishop believes that, backed by this
request on the part of our citizens,
together with new facts that will be
presented to the Board, the pardon of
Cbartz will be secured. He says, and
in this lie is supported by many, that
the efforts IN this direction heretofore
were premature, aud only tended to
delay final action. Let the press Of
Nevada once more take up the Chsr,z
case up and respectfully ask the
Board to take favorable action on his
case" 1t is gratifying to know that
Mr.. Bishop is interesting himself in
Chartz's case, and il is TO be hoped
that the Hon. Board of Pardons will
recognize the fact that poor Chartz
has rights that are worthy Of consid.
Grafton. If pardoned lie will make

Down the aisle toward us hobbled
an old man with the help of two
assistants. His crutches were dis
oarded, but his features revealed q
pain which gave the lie to his feeble
praises of the saint at his restoration.

the child only the seal of dissolution.
The priests in attendance moved
about with a listless, mechanical air,
bowling at stated plscss and intervals,
ore of them presenting q glazed me-
dallion portrait of the saint to the
lips of kneeliDg supplicants. The
air of everyday occupation seeme1
impressed upon the whole drowsy
scene. unrelievedI by music or the
usual pageantry of the picturesque
Romish service.
As We walked up the single village

him. The agony in bis every Inca

Measuring the Drinks.

To an American the bar is novel
feature on British steamship. In
the City of Rome it is on a lower
deck. It is so small that only one
person can be served at time. the
bartender rarely wore coat II be

called him anything but gentleman
for ha invariably poured out the
drinks for his patrons. If you
asked for whiskey no bottle was
placed before you. The drink was
measured IN a pewter cup and
then poured into a tumbler and
placed before you. The horn was
invariably stiff one, more than
any desirable drinker would desire.
1t was the same with brandy and
other | quors. II you called for a
pony brandy, you got the same
measure. This measuring of drinks
lie universal on all English steam
ships. With a preponderance of
American passengers the saloon
keeper would probably increase his
gains by allowing his patrons to
Rusge their own drinks. On the
Alaska many Americans ordered a
glass OF brandy and two pony tum-
blers. By dividing the liquor they
got two ponies for the price Of one.
Some speculated in wbiskey in the
same manner. The less to the bar
was apparent. What would be
made by allowing the American the
privilege OF the bottle, however,
would be more than eounterbalanced
by the greed OF Englishmen. An old
steamship bartender told me that be

A SENSATIONAL STORY.
An Alleged scheme 10 steal s5O,O0O.OOO
byR New whisky Ring.

W,suIYcroS, April 25-A highly sensa-
tional article was printed here to-day, on
the'subiect of an alleged whisky ring, EN-
bracing Kentucky >peculators and others,
including the Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue. by which it is claimed that $50
co.,. 600 is to be stolen from the Treasury.
The means through which this is to be
ACCOMPLISHED is the bill introduced
by Mr.. punnell for the extension
Of the bonded period for spirits in
a distillery warehouse, and the special
act OF bidding is described as follows:
Half of the goods are TO be sold in bonds
to outside small buyers att profit sufficient
to cover the cost of the whole lot, and then
by premeditated default in renewal of the
bonds the tax become due and the govern
ment, by forced sale OF the spirits, attempts
20 recover the sum. when these lyindiyid-
uals slip around and bid in the whlSkey
for next to nothing and leave the govern
ment out in the cold so far as its taxes are
concerned, and then they can reap their
harvest by having protection equal 10 the
amount OF the tax against other manu-
iactuTers.
The astute author of this article has
overlooked one material provision OF law.
Section 1884, of the revised statutes, pro-
vides that all spirits sold under distraint
for taxes shall be sold subject to the tax,
and that the purchaser shall Immediately
before he takes possession of said spirits,
paw the tax threon. The argument was
based upon false premises, and so has led
the author into an abSurdity. The trlends
of the bill claim that if it was the inten-
ton of any whisky ring to make money
thev would kill the bill, allow the bonded
period to expire on the lst of May, and so
force the whisky on the market, then buy
il up at a song, pay the tax, and thus hold
all the fine whiskies at price less that the
highwine producers could make them.
