The Latest Drop-n-Nicke Machine.

From the New Ork Sun.I
The latest development of inventive genius
in the way of a drop-a.nickel-in-the.slot ma.
chine has just been perfected in London. Over
there the casual Londoner drops penny in the
slot and receives postal card, on which he can
scribble anything that he has forgotten when
he was at his office or home. and drop it into
the nearest box, without further trouble. The
machines are to be introduced into this coun-
try. 1t is rather odd, by the way, that the de-
velopment of this principle, which found its
inception in the bobtail car, has gone ahead
steadily ever since the cars were objected to.

WASHINGTON, January 1lth = Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, has had consultation
with two experts in the Internal Revenue
Service in regard 10 drawing bill which
would exempt fruit brandies from the in
ternal revenue tax.
Senator Stanford has taken hold of this
subject with great earneS.Dess and is de-
termlned, if possible, to secure the repeal
of the internal revenue tax on sll brandy
distilled from grapes.
He thinks that in seasons when the wine
product is not of high quality the loss to
the vineyardist can be msterially dimin-
ished if he can make brandy out of the
wine. He now has 10 pay 90 cents gallon
on all brandies made, and when the vint-
age is inferior there is no profit either
IN selling it as wine or distilling it into
brandy.
Senator Stanford thinks that the value
of the vineyards of California would be
greatly increased if this internal revenue
tax were returned. He requested Senator
exemption of grape brandies from the in
ternal revenue tax. Senator Stewart found,
upon consultation with the expert of the
Internal Revenue Department that they
thought small tax should be retained in
order 10 give the Government supervision
over the distilleries, and if there we're no
supervision there would be no opportuni-
ties for making alcohol from corn and
grain.
Senator Stanford, however, is not willing
to accept the opinion of the experts. He
thinks it unnecessary for the Government
to have supervision Of the grape brandy
distlllerles. He is of the opinion that if
the authorities have suspicion that spirits
are being distilled from corn any of these
grape brandy distilleries could be in

How q Clever Forger Worked the Banks
for Large Sums.

AOh A@aES0 SdihSs
SPOKANE FALLS, January 11th.-J. R.
Jones has been depositor to large amounts
with the Bank of Spokane Falls for year
past. He has also done business with the
bank at Wallace, Idaho, and the Miners
Exchange of Wardner, Idaho. Two or
three days before New Year he went to the
Miners Exchange, bought two drafts for
SIS each and one for 500 on the Oregon
National at Portland, also a draft for S25
on the Spokane National Bank here. He
also drew draft on the bank at Spokane
Falls for $1,000, the balance due him,
which the bank 60 K'd' by telephone.
He came here before the 81 900 draft ar
rived and tried to draw that amount, but
the bank, owing to its 30. K," refused to
pay. He said the draft was simply an ac-
commodation for his brother, and would
never be presented, but the bank still re-
fused to pay the money.
He then presented one SIS draft raised to
81, 500 in favor ]. A. Hoffman and Jones.
The bank cashed it and sent 1t to the First
Ma iOnal at Portland as paid by the Oregon
Na'ional. The raising was only discovered
wien the note was returned to the Miners
Exchange. Meantime, Jones had another
SIS and 500 draft cashed. He then went
to Helena to the First National presented
the $25 note raised to So, 500, had it cashed,
left some 5000 in the bank to pay for some
property, and fled with 81 600. The forgery
was not discovered until the draft reached
the Spokane National Bank here.
Jones is FIVE feet six inches high, light
complexion, sandy mustache, and has a
squeaky voice. His present whereabouts
are unknown.
The First National at Portland and the
Bank of Spokane Falls refuse to accept the
So 500 draft, claiming the Oregon National
must lose the amount, as the draft was
drawn on them and they paid it.

BosToN. January 11th.-Dr. G. w. Gal.
win has brought an action against Mrs.
Mary Parker, who keeps restaurant at
the South End, for injuries received while
defending her newly-born child from the
assault OF savage dog. Calvin said he was
called one day last summer to attend Mrs.
Pasker during accouchement. Her child
was laid upon the bed while some offices
were performed for the mother.
Suddenly from the corner of the room
sprang out large bulldog. He leaped
upon the bed and attempted to seize the
newly-born babe. The doctor sprang to
the child's defense and placed it in the
arms of the nurse Then the savage ami
NAL attacked the woman and tried to tear
the child from her arms, but Calvin sue
ceeeded in pushing the woman from the
room.
The dog then assailed him furiously,
sinking his fangs deep into his forearm.
The doctor fought for his life, but the
brute bore him to the floor, barring the flesh
of his arms and thighs in a most terrible
manner. Over and over rolled the dog
and the man, until the man finally con-
quered and the dog was hurled through a
window to the ground.
The doctor was severely injured and for
many weeks was unable to practice. He
has now recovered his health, but still in
dreams frequently lives over again the hor-
rors of that quarter of an hour. In Court
to-day Calvin got verdict of 500 against
Mrs. Parker.

the Trouble in Samoa.
WASHINGTON, January 11th. = Consul
General Sewall, of Samoa, who has been
home several months, appeared before the
Senate Committee of Foreign Relations to-
day. General Sewall was examined in
secret at great length, and expressed the
belief that the next mail will bring news
of further and more terrible conflicts be-
tween the Germans and natives that the
shedding of blood since he left Samoa had
radically changed the situation, and that
If 1t were not intended to yield to Germany
the entire control of the islands, some de-
cided action would have to be taken by the
powers.
He presented to the committee copies of
the Samoan Times, pub lished at Apia, con-
tanning accounts of an unprovoked and un-
expected attack by German war ship
upon the natives, and of a meeting by
Consuls of other nations denouncing the
act, also misleading and unfair statement
by the German Consul. Sewall spoke of
the studied, systematic efforts of the Ger
mans in sending out news from Berlin con-
cerning Samoa to give the impression that
America was the aggressor in every cause
of trouble.
