MAHoRE'S PECULIAR WHISKY.
The Sad Effect of Getting Doctored Bottle

Washington Special TO Nep York World.
An interesting story Is told here as con.
sequence of the recent arrest of bell boy at
the Arlington Hotel on charge of stealing
Mshone's whisky. II will be remembered
that the boy arrested was held over by the
police court for action by the grand jury.
Several other articles stolen from guests
were found In his room. 1t seems, however,
Mahone's body servant thought there was
danger, and, without notifying the Senator,
prepared for the worst, with results quite
annoying to that gentleman, who, q few
evenings since, invited some political friends
to lunch and game of cards. In his bou-
doir, as the evening waxed late, after lunch,
1t was suggested that q little whisky might
be appropriate to the occasion, whereupon
the Senator, finding the bar closed, withdrew
to bis room and produced bottle, which he
pronounced Maryland's best.
Four friends tasted 1t and agreed that the
Senator's judgment was good. When few
minutes had passed, so the story goes, they
became deathly sick and INDUCED in series
OF performances which would have done
credit to the most able disciple of methods
which marked the practice of medicine
twenty years ago. Malone, q good deal
alrrmed, sent for his body servant, thinking
cholera had already made its appearance,
and asked him whether anybody had been
doctoring his whisky.
John appeared to be as much disturbed IS
his master for moment, but the Idea struck
him suddenly, and, snatching the bottle from
the Senator's hands, he examined 1t, and
with knowing grin, which he valnly tried
to suppress, blurted out:
"Fore God, Massa Malone, dat's de bottle
wat put de ipecac in"
John, 1t appears, dosed one of the bottles
Of whisky with ipecac, expecting q return of
the bell boy. 1t was this which the Senator
was fortunate enough to find when the bar
was closed.

These, however, are but poor specimens o.
his efrontry. Strolling one day arm-in- arm
with Daniel Terry, the actor, up street In
Soho, bis nostrils were assailed by q mos
savory odor. Looking down an area, he saw
the servants in the kitchen below dressing ur
very fine dinner.
"a party, no doubt" said Terry; "jolly
dogs what feast should like to make
one of them"
an take bet l do" replied Hook. "CalI
for me at TO-"
Leaving his friend, he mounted the steps
and knocked at the door. Believing him to
be one Of the expected guests, the servant
conducted him to the drawing-room, where
a number of persons were assembled. Max
ing himself perfectly at home he had q half.
dozen people about him, laughing at his bon
mots, before the host discovered thai stran.
ger was present.

dressing the uninvlted one, "your name II

"Smith, sir, Smith," replied the unblushing
Theodore, "dont apologize; you are quite
right, sir, servants are great blockheads;
remember a most remarkable instance of
their mistakes"
"But really, sir" interrupted the host,
mildly, ~ did not anticipate the pleasure Of
NJ. Smiths company to dinner. Whom do
you suppose you are addressing9"
"Mr. Thompson, of course" answered
Hook, "sn old friend of my father. received

arrival from Liverpool, to dine with you to.

The host at once disclaimed the name Of
or any knowledge of the vivacious Smith.
"Good heavens! then have come to the
wroag house," exclaimed the hoaxer "my
desr sir, how can apologize9 So awkward,
too, and have asked q friend to call for
me-"
The old gentleman, probably thinking so
witty parsonage would make an excellent
addition to his party, begged him to remain.
With piofusion Of apologies, Hook at first
pretended to decliHs-ultimately accepted.
Everybody was delighted with him; all the
evening be kept up constant fire of wit and
repsrtee, and finally sac down to the piano,
and sangextempore verses on every one pres
ent. In the midst Of these the door opened,
and, true to his appointment, in walked

key, he sang:

JUST TALL ENOUGH.

She took my coat-I'm rather tall,
And she is not so very;
The steps led upward from the hall,
She stood, the little fairy,
Just balanced on the second stair,
My great coats burden holding,
And then her hands-the kindest pair
The collar down were folding.
There never was an eye so clear,
Nor lips so red in moving.
Just tall enough, now, amt dear?-
See how I've grown from lovingw
Just tall enoughl From eye TO eye

A Significant Fact.

NEW YORK, April l5.--To-day's Tr-
t,Re says! "rhe convention which meets
at Harrisburg tomorrow derives its
chief Importance from its furnishing
an expression of opinion by the Re-
publicans of Pennsylvania as to the
choice Of Presidential candidate.
\ Congressman at large Is the only
nomination to be made other than Presi-
dental electors, and If the Democrats had
done their duty in the Legislature in pass.
Ing Il appOrtionment bill there would
be no Congressman at large to be chosen.
TO-mOrrOW'S convention will afford Il
striking contrast to the one that met in
the same place in 1880. That was called
on short notice, early in February, for the
purpose of registering the will of one
man. Nearly all the delegates to that
convention were appointed by self-perpet-
uating county committees. To-mOrrOW's
convention will meet after sixty days no.
tlcc and will be composed Of PSI delegates
chosen by the people, and go Of those
delegates are for Mr., Blaine for Presi-
dent. In 1850 he received twenty-three
votes from Pennsylvania to the National
Convention, This year he is assured Of
litty-onc with a possibility Of a larger
number. That is certainly a significant
fact, considering that Mr. Baineis merely
a private citizen without any patronage
and is opposed by the machine that 50
long has ruled Pennsylvania"
