TsE WHISKY TRUST
Meet in Amnssl Convention at Peo.

Meet in Arncal convention a6 k,eO.
ria, III.
PEORIA, Ill, April 1s,-The Annual
meeting of the whisky trust was held
here yesterday The policy of trust was
outlined in an address by President
Grcenhut. He said, in part: While com
i(lent of being able to combat any COM
petition on low prices, we must not be
misled anu anticipate large dividends and
attempt to vanq,iish outside competition
at the same time. In other words, our
policy should BE ts rim on prices lew
enough and for as long time ss may be
necessary TO overcome those outside Cod
Germs which have been or are now at
tempting TO take advantage of our posi-
ton. This should be done even if it be-
comes necessary for accomplishing this
purpose TO Put prices so low that the
earning power Of the trust would not per.
NIT the paying of any dividend. or even
the regular fimed charges during the con-
test for supremacy. Il is for this pur-
pose, and in anticipation OF such con-
flct that the trustees considered 1t
wise and prudent policy to have
large surpli.s fund which can
be drawn upon for Tie fixed obli-
CATIONS of the trust during such time.
Out, lie competitors must be made to un-
dersland that VIC ara indeed in earnest in
this matter, that they Can hope for no
profits in the business and only see ruin
alton as recompcnse for their parasitic
ventures. After we have succeeded by
such policy in convincing our opponents
that there is no possible chance for them
to prey on us or force us to take them
into our fold, we shall then be able to
proceed unmolestcd in the pursuit of le-
gi,i nate business. The trustees have de-
c;ded absolutely on tie policy Of moi
taking more distilleries into the truet.
The policy originally pursued of treating
with every house that was
| connected with the Western
Export association for entering
the trust has been faithfully carried out
and those few with whom we could moi
come to an understanding must now bt
considered barred out. If We are to con
tinue taking in more houses we would
simply be offering premium for new
houses 10 be built, and in time would be
come overloaded and unsuccessful in oul
efforts"
In verification of this position Green
! hut added that oyertures had been made
to the trust for the sale of the stock o
the ST. Paul distillery, about which thcr'
has been go much newspaper speculation
and that the offer was declined. Will
the result of last years business nigh
nave been much better, 1t cannot be con

The Adjutant Bird.

Talking Of adjutant birds, / heard
Q good story from Mr.. Richards of the
Baptist mission at Lukolela. II seems
that Mr.. Comber Of the same mission
used 10 keep tame adjutant at Lutete
Tor Wathen) station, which roamed
about the station, with clipped wings,
In company with monkeys, parrots
and other pets, among them a kitten
belonging to Mr.. Comber. One day
this kitten was heard mewing pite-
ously, though it was nowhere TO be
seen. AT last, noticing that the sounds
appeared 10 be proceeding from the
adjutant who was standing with his
beak wide open, as though engaged in
swallowing something, with an ef-
fort, MIR. Comber walked up TO him,
and looking down his throat saw the
end Of the kittens tail about TO disap-
pear. Thereupon he grasped the tail
and hauled the kitten out still alive.
Mr.. Richards told me that the truth
of this story had been doubted in Eng
land; for my part / sec no reason 70
disbelieve ii, and would recommend
those who do 10 pay visit TO the Zoo
and inspect the adjutants there. Those
/ have seen on the Congo held their
heads as high as q tall man and had
beaks and throats Of enormous capa-
city, adapted-like those Of pelicans
and other birds which lead similar
life-to the catching and swallowing
whole Of large fish. The Lutete adju-
tant, ! am told, on another occasion
swallowed q small dead monkey en-
tire. As for the kitten-it IL a well
