IFrom the Cincinnati (Ohio) SUM-
Probably tie largest concern of its kind
that has grown up amongst us in the
past decade is the Duffy Malt Whiskey
Company of Baltimore, Md. The other
day the writer met a representative of
this house and among other Of the In
teresting questions that came up, was one
as to how this Company could afford to
expend such large sums OF money in adj
vertIsing such an excellent brand Of
whiskey. and on which the margin Of
profit is necessarily small.
s'Well, sir" replied the gentleman, &c
is done entirely on the strength OF good
article, in the merit and purity of which
we have the utmost confidence. This is
probably the first instance of the kind in
the business Of the country where 1t has
paid business like ours to extensively
advertise its whiskey.
Heretofore large newspaper adYertis-
Ing las been confined almost exclusively
to patent medicines and other proprietary
preparations, on which there is usually a
profit of from 200 to 800 per cent (never
less1 as In the case of so-called bitters, for
instance, which frequently consist, as
analysis has shown, Of the cheapest of
poisonous kinds of alcohol for base (the
government allows 30 per cent? the rest OF
the compound being few inexpensive,
fIavoring extracts to make 1t palatable.
IT was with the idea that people would
sooner or later come to realize this fact,
that we determined to put our:whiskey
on the market under Its true name, merit
and medicinal uses. and although we
have received numerous propositions
from prominent religious papers. and
Clergyman. we have steadily held out
against any change of title or any dis
guise Of its character, and yet despite the
natural prejudice which exists against
the use of liquor in any form, we have re-
ceived In the past three months over 5000
unsolicited testimonials from persons who
have been cured or benefited by our whis-
key, andwho out Of a pure sense Of graft
tude are willing that their names be
published. Ycu see our whiskey Is dis
titled by a secret process whereby every
trace OF fusel oil is eliminated, and to-day
we are the discoveries and only manufac-
turers in the country of an absolutely
pure article.

TERRIBLE COAL OIL ACCIDENT
A Little Girl Horribly Burnt About the
Body, and Little Boy on the Hands.

Body, and Little Boy on the Hands.
About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
little girl aged about nine years.
named Rosa Pbipps, niece Of Mrs T.
j. Arnold, residing in tie Third dis
trict near the ferry wharf, aud her lit.
tie brother were horribly burnt from
coal oil while kindIing FIRE. A rep
resentative OF the EVENING CAPITAL
proceeded to the scene ofthe accident
this morning, and learned the follow
Jog particulars from Mrs. Arnold, the
aunt Of the unfortunate little gIrl -
Rosa was sent to the kitchen TO kin
die fire for the purpose of getting
Supper, and instead of taking out all
the dead wood that remained 10 the
stove at the time, she retilled 1t with
fresh kindling wood, and took the
coal oil Lean which contained small
quantity of coal oil and poured the
contents over the wood, intending TO
light it from below, but instead there
remained some FIRE 10 the stove, loud
explosion took place and the burn
ing fluid enveloped the child in
flames. Her screams brought Mrs
Arnold to the kitchen, who taking In
the situation, seized bucket of water
near at hand and threw it over the
child This bad the effect of subdu-
ing the flames, and enabling Mrs.
Arnold to tear from the child its burn
ing clothing and revealing to her the
horrible burns Of the little girl, which
extended from the breast to the
knees. Her little brother who was
in the kitchen at the time ran to the
assistance of his sister, and in endeav-
oring to put the Ere out, was badly
burnt about the hands. The little
girl was made as comfortable as pos
sible until the arrival of DR.. Zach.
Ridout, who dressed the burns OF the
little sufferer. He expressed the opin-
ion she was seriously Injured.
Mrs. Arnold say she had frequent
~ cautioned the child not to use the
coal oil, but she had seen others use
1t for SIMILAR purpose in making a
uutCh uEC, uuu uOb huOWluk tuO udu-
ger attending such experiments, she
siezed on to the oil can near at hand
and poured the contents over the
kindling wood, not knowing there
was any ERE 10 the stove at the time.
Notwithstanding the repeated warn
ings that persons have of the danger
and the fatal results that happen
from kindling fires with coal oil, they
will persist in doing the very same
thing. Just about year ago SINH.
lar accident occurred in this city, by
which one little boy was so shocking
ly burnt that be died the same day,
and another has been sufferer and
an invalid ever since. Parents could
not be too careful about allowing
their children to kindle 6res, and per-
hitting them to use coal oil. 1t is
bad practice, to say nothing of the
danger, even for grown person to
use coal oil in kindling fire.

A PROPOSED AMENDMENT.

We published communication
from Mr.. Dickey, in which he shows
that the road tax is very unfairly ex-
pended. His uneven distribution
of a tax levied for specific purpose
is unquestionably serious griev-
once. Reasons and arguments in
favor of expending the road tax in
the district where collected are un-
answerable. We make no plea for
the method of distribution. Our
characterization had reference mere
ly to the levy. Reformation in the
method of distribution is urgently
needed. Justice and common fair
ness demand it. If Mr.. Dickey will
undertake to devise n measure
aiming at this we shall cheer
fully contribute our small help. We
wish to make one other correction
to the communication under con-
sideration. Oul motion is to amend
by striking out the word "abuse." "
This word has evidently crept in
through misconception, and does not
properly qualify the column of mat
ter referred to. This, we respect
fully submit, is sufficient reason for
its being struck out.
