A Stopper on the G. O.. D. Jug Trade
JgNIUs.

The Baltimore Sun of Tuesday says:
1.-THE internal revenue commissioner,
at Washington, has rendered deci-
sion which will have the effect of
stopping shipments of whiskey, cash
on delivery, to local option counties.
The internal revenue department
rules that the special tax stamps held
by wholesale and retail dealers do
not cover sales Of liquor at any other
place than the place of business that
the sales of liquors should be conn
pleted by delivery, actual or con-
structive, at the place of business {;
that sales are not so completed when
liquor is sent G. O. d, as the liquor
remains the property of the seller
| and does not become the property of
the buyer until delivered to him up.
on payment of the purchase money
and charges. Under this ruling. a
jug of whiskey sent G. o. d. to a local
option county is constructively sold
in that county, and either the buyer
or seller is liable to get into trouble.
| Many of the counties of Maryland
have the local option law in force,
and this decision effects such as can
be reached by express. Many Of the
thirsty cOuntrymen, however, have
their jugs sent by steamer, where
possible. Some time ago Freder-
lex county liquor dealer sent some OF
his wares to Montgomery county, a
local option county, to be paid for on.
delivery. The matter was brought
to the attention of Collector SeIIman
who informed the dealer that his
government license only allowed him
to sell at his place of business, and to
send it G.. O. ID. to Montgomery was
to sell it in that county. The collec-
tor states, however, that where the
purchaser sends the money to the
seller, who in turn sends the Whiskey
to the buyer, the seller is complying
with the government law, in selling
at his place of business. The same
would be the case where the liquor
was sent to the buyer and the money

A Useful Life Closed.

In the death of Mr.. Samuel M.
Shoemaker Baltimore has lost one OF
her most eminent men of business,
one of her most valued citizens. The
progress of the commerce OF Balti-
more has been coincident with his
own rise to influence and wealth. Be-
ginning life a poor boy, as clerk in
a contingencies in Baltimore, he
showed an energy, a sagacity and an
enterprise that made him leader be-
fore he had attained mans estate.
His talents shone in the Organiza-
ton of new enterprises, and what
ever ne undertook wore the air of
success from the outset. He was one.
Of the pioneers of the express business
in the United States, and was in
charge of one Of the companies that
consolidated into the Adams Express
Company thirty years ago. Since
that time he has been one of the
ablest of its officers. 1t was not how
ever, merely in this line of business
that Samuel NJ. Shoemaker was
known. AS an agriculturalist and
horticulturalist, as a leader in benev-.
client associations, he was highly re-
spected. His house in this city and
his country dwelling in the Green
Spring Valley were the scenes of a
generous hospitality. and often were
assembled there most brilliant So
cipty. His domestic life was very
beautiful, and the devotion of his
family to him was touching tribute
to his worth as a n.-BaLtO. Amer

seats in the next to the last row of
delegates, just behind the Massachu-

ing hours it had been whispered
around that Mr.. Phillips, from Fred
erick, delegate.at-large, would not be
able to attend the convention. THE
american correspondent called on
him in his room at the Palmer House,
and found him up and smoking a ci-
gar, chatting with Colonel Webster
and Captain NALL. He said the doc.
tor advised him not to attend the
convention to-day. but he would
surely attend before the balloting be-

State, but it is a positive Stumbling

being managed with an eye to the
promotion of the agricultural and

simply a dead weight upon them. In
order to keep up Il number of useless
offices and pay high salaries, the tolls
are kept at rates that are almost an

position" 70 this pleasant sally Mr..
Gary replied: "YOu have nothing
whatever to do with selecting the
alternates; that belongs to the con-
vention.' "The Blaine men will not
want anything like chat, Mr.. Gary"
remarked Mr.. EnsOr, "and you can't
play any of your tricks here. The
delegation elects the alternate, and
Mr.. Chisholm is Mr.. Phillips alter
nate, and we will have him So"
Mr.. Gary persisted in his view that
the delegation had nothing whatever
to do with the selection Ofalternates.
Words became quite hot between
Messrs. Gary and Ensor. Quite Il
crowd collected around them, and as
they stood at the foot of the grand
stairway their angry words naturally
attracted attention.
Mr.. Gary attempted to leave, and
Mr.. Ensor, as parting shot, said :
wen let you understand, although
we did cOncede to you yesterday in
the matter craftsmanship, we won't
let you put an Arthur man III place
of Blaine one"
This work on the part of the Ar
thur men created much feeling among
the Maryland Blaine men, and one
said, "That's just as told you. We
put an Arthur man at the head OF
the delegation, and now they will
try and steal everything away from
US" The delegation soon after re-
paired to their headquarters, how
ever, and there decided to march at
once to- the Exposition building. Mr..
Gary did not approach the alternate
question, and the Blaine men were
ready at any move to put Chisholm
in, as they had the majority. Per.
haps Mr.. Gary's action was delayed
on account of the absence Of Mr..
Hard, who he claimed, was Mr..
Phillips alternate. The delegation
arrived at the Exposition building at
twelve O'clock. Mr.. Rogers noticed
that Mr.. Phillips seat was vacant,
and seeing Mr.. Chisholm seated
among the alternates, back of the del
egate section, beckoned to him.
Mr.. Chisholm came into the dele
gaets' quarters and walked past Mr.
Gary. and took his seat as delegate
Nothing was said to him, and when
Maryland was called to vote on the
temporary chairmanship the regular
list of delegates were called. When

Chisholm stood up and voted for
Clayton. The chairman of the dele
CATION did not say anything; al
though in every other State, when a
delegates name was called and he
was absent, the chairman asked for
the alternate's name. The Maryland
delegation voted on the temporary
chairman, as follows: For Clayton
