statement is too broad for general applica
ton, and it was proved last evening by the
assemblage at the Academy of Music of a
large body Of Brooklyn's best people, who
had paid about three prices each for short
indulgence in the mild dissipation OF read
ings. They paid three prices because the
reader was Charles Dickens, son or the
novelist, who is the most read and best
loved OF all men wko have written IN this
Martin ChuZzlewit and "Ameri-
can Notes" observation-disclosures they
went to hear him with a warm prejudice
in his favor. When DR.. Storrs had intro
duced the reader, q cordial greeting was
rendered by nearly every pair Of hands IN
the audience, and Doctor Marigold" and
the trial scene from ''Pickwick'' were
listened to with close atteu-
ton. Mr. Dickens is man
of nearly middle age, who looks well led
and composed, as Englishmen are apt 10
look, who has mustache in state OF IN
obtrusiye cultivation whose forehead runs
well up into his hair, who wears specta-
cles. and whose face and figure suggest
those of his father. His voice IS strong,
agreeable and we'll managed, and was dis
tinctly heard in all parts OF the building,
while sufficient experience has evidently
been gained by previous endeavor TO give
him ease before an audience and TO exer-
else something OF that mastery over inter
est that is called magnetism. His manner
is deliberate and his speech pure, point
wherein he has advantage over certain Of
his countrymen, clerical and theatrical
whose singsong infections and abuse Of
the vowels have bred distress among
people accustomed TO talking their English
plain. There is little of the actor about
him, and his readings impress one as an
agreeable, il not celebrating entertain
ment. He is most successful III hUmor,
and gained better credit for his person
alton of the blatant ''Buzfuz" than for
the pretty pathos of Doctor Marigold. y

Awful Power Of Dynanits-
Did The Trust Do Il?

CHICAGO, December 10.-Shortly after
six o'clock this morning, an attempt was
made to destroy shufeldt & Co.'s distill-
cry, in The northern portion of the city by
means Of dynamite. At the hour men
toned the gbborhcod was shaken by Q
tremendous explosion, shaking the build
ipgs in the neight orhood, breaking many
panes CT glass in the surrounding houses
and causing the people to rush into the
street in great alarm. Investigation show
ed that bomb had been thrown probably
from the street, into detached warehouse
used for storing high wines in. This
building was shattered, the hoops were
burst off many the casks, and the heads
Of some Of them were driven in.
"There is 70 doubt in the world that it
is the work Of the Whisky Trust said
Mr.. Lynch.
"They have been threat sniug us with
vengeance for some time past, and the
other day we received word 10 look out for
damage. We supposed they meant to cut
prices and wa told them to damage away.
never thought they would be guilty OF
such an act as this"
"War there any cause for the taking Of
such desperate measures by the Whisky
Trus,?"
"Well, l should say there was. Every
cne kloNs the war they have waged
against us without success. They have
tried every means in their power to force
us into the trust, and they played their
last card when they froze us out Of fet d.
Jog cattle. When they saw that had NO
effect, they began to issue vague threats,
to which we paid no attention"
Now last week there came the news
that house was about complCt I'd in 81.
Paul with capacity Of 10000 bushels a
day, and only short time before another
ant Trust house Of 600 bushels daily
capacity was started in Pekip, Ills. An.
other house of several thousand bnshels
capacity in Dansile renounced allegiance
to the Trust, and then the Kentucky dis
tillers began changing their product from
whiskies to high to high wines, which
brought than into direct competition With
the Trust and raised the antitrust capa'
