Restricting Whisky Production.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 26-The Kentucky
distillers who are parties to the contract made
last June. by which firms representing 90 per
cent. of the distilling capacity of Kentucky
up their session, which began with closed doors
yesterday, this afternoon. The agreement s,ip-
ulates that any signer shall pay twenty cents
gallon for ali the whisky he makes this season
in excess OF 100 gallons. OF course no distillery
would be started up to make only 100 gallons.
1t seems, however, that number of the signers
have totally dsregarded their contract greatly
TO their own profit and TO the disadvantage of
those who adhered to their promise; and the IN
easv feeling caused by these practices is the
casion of the meeting which has just adjourned.

IN A KOCHA RESTAURANT.
An Eating House Where Hebrew Ept.
cures Congregate-Some Cheap Places.


Kocha is Hebrew word signifying
"cIean," and kocha restaurant is one where
the Mosaic law regarding the preparation OF
food is observed to the letter. There are sew
eral of these places in New York, all Of them
well patronized. for a strictly orthodox Jew
seldom eats elsewhere away from his own
table
The Delmonico of the Israelites is Lustig.
His restaurant is on Mercer street, in the
heart of the dry goods district, and his chef
is a German Jew. Here at midday the
wealthy Hebrews of the vicinity congregate
for luncheon. For forty cents an admirable
meal is served in the German style of cook
ing. 1t consists of several courses, barley
or chicken SOUP boiled beef or Hamburger
steak, with fried potatoes and sauerkraut,
veal outlet, roast duck or broled chicken,
with salad, and compete of prunes and
raisins or some delicate pastry. A dish Of
the choicest fruit and jar of celery stands
always on the table. \ small cup of black
coffee completes the meal No butter il
served with the bread No milk or mill,
product is allowed in the restaurant, the
Mosaic law expressly forbidding the eating
of milk and meat in any form at the same
time. For this reason the Jew drinks his
coffee clear or abstains from it altogether.
At monday Lustig's Is always crowded
with Hebrews of a distinctiveiy German
type. spirit of jollity psrvades the place,
and for time all thought of business is cast
aside. This is especially true on feast days,
when the menu is considerably anplified.
On such occasions poultry of all kinds IL
served; turkeys, ducks, chickens, geese. sripe,
quail, whatever fowl is in season can be had
fresh, and cooked dehciously with herbs and
spices. On fast days Lustigs and al the
strictly kocha restaurants are closed
On the great east side of tho city, in Essex,
Norfolk, Ludlow and adjoining streets, there
are many so called kocha restaurants They
are kocha, however, only in name, as the ser
vice is filthy and the food scarcely FL 20 eat.
Any one passing through the Jewish quarter
may sec them They are mostly small rooms
in the cellars or upon tho ground floors Of
tenernents, furnished with few wooden
tables and chairs, with bin Of fare, printed
in Hebrew characters, hanging outside tho
door. In the windows the shrunken car
cases Of geese are allowed 20 hang until
blaekened with exposure.
A substantial meal, sseh az 1T is, can be
purchased in any Of these places for from
eight to fifteen cents. favorite dizh here
is fish stew, strongly favored with garlic
and redolent with odor. A strictly orthodox
Hebrew would turn in horror from such res
tauraHts, for the underlying principle Of ths
Mosaic law concerning food Is cleanlruess.-

THOUGHT HE WAS A SQUIRREL.
Elmer Ncf Shot by a Friend Yesterday Near
the Packing House.

Yesterday afternoon at 4:30 quite seri-
Gus, if not fatal, accident occurred neal
the Dold packing house, IN which Elmer
Neff, the l4year-old son of a carpenter EN-
ployed upon the packing house, was,
through a mistake, shot by friend.
Young Neff was living with his father
in tent upon the east bank of Chisholm,
about fifty yards north of the packing
house. With them was living a third
party, Charles Schmidt, also working upon
the building. About o'clock young Neff
left the tent and went along the bank and
lay down in the shade of some bushes
Shortly afterwards Schmidt thinking that
he saw a squirrel went into the tent for
his gun intending to pursue the little
animal and kill 1t. he watched along the
bank for some time but could not get an
opportunity to shoot. At last moving
upon clump Of bushes near the waters
edge he saw something moving
about and believing it to be the
game of which he was in
pursuit fired. He heard cry of pain, and
looking through the bushes saw the boy
Neff writhing in great pain. He picked
the little fellow up, and carrying him back
to the tent and had Drs. McCless and Pur-
duessummoned.
Upon their arrival they found the boy
bleeding profusely about the face and
chest, and blood also gushing from his
mouth. An examination showed that
his face and chest was full
of shot. No. shot was
what the gun was quite heavily loaded
and it seemed that the full charge had en-
tered the body of the unfortunate boy.
one Of the shots, too, entered the eye just
below the pupil and viii without doubt
put out the sight. DR.. McClees had the
sufferer removed from the tent to the Be,
nevolent Home and last evening the shots
were picked out The extent of the injur-
les can not as yet be told. 1t may result
only in the loss of the eye and the pain
and agony caused by the shots in the face
and chest; or some of the shots may have
entered the vital organs and result in the
youths death. He was resting well last
