l have directly learned, from the best
authority, that a distillery firm within
three miles of the Massachusetts State
House, mas a contract to furnish 5000
gallons of rum daily to the African
trade for the next even years. This
would be equivalent to almost 1000. 900
gallons annually. It would be a sur
prise to many to learn that almost all
the rum manufactured in the United
States is made within five miles of our
State House. During the last six years
the total quantity manufactured and de-
posted in the distillery warehouses of
the country was II, 1885, O4 gallons, an
average of 1855 ,617 gallons yearly, of
which total the distilleries around the
Hub made 10,460, 100 gallons, or "a per
cent. Of all made in this country.
Almost all the liquor sent from the
United States to curse Africa is sent
from Boston. No other liquor thar that
most accursed of all liquors, Boston's
rum, is sent from America to the Ozark
Continent We see in the light of
these facts the duty of Boston and
Massachusetts to the constitutional pro-
hlbltory amendment. A grand oppor-
tunity is thus offered us to rid ourselves
of all completely in the curse of alcohol
in Africa, in the United States, and in
our own state.

Fig hteen st. Louis Beer Manufactures
Under One Management.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, April 26.-It is to-day
announced that all the beer brewers OF
st. Louis and East ST. Louis, excepting
the Aforementioned Company and w.
j. Lemp. have practically formed a
consolidation of their properties
and that they will be run under one
management. There are eighteen
breweries concerned in the movement,
representing an investment OF about $5,-
100000. Stock and bonds to the amount
of SIS, 100000 will be issued, each COM
pany or firm receiving the full value of
Its property in each, and the remainder
will be sold by subscription, the pro-
ceeds to be used in charging the
principal breweries and improving the
plants of the others. The organization
is not to be a trust in any sense, but
simply q business plan to improve the
properties and increased productive
power of all. There will be no advance
IN the price of beer and no shutting
down of ~breweries, but on the contrary
special efforts will be made to build up
and increase outside shipping trade as
much as possible.

tened on the clock, sat a man whose ex-
preston indicated that he was looking

moved towards 2. this expression grew

DEpERE, Wis, April 22.-Fire Saturday
evening destroyed the Meiswinkel
Woodenware Company's plant. The
flames spread rapidly to adjoining
property, owing to the gale which pre-
vailed, until twelve additional frame
buildings burned, including the sheds
of the Hooker brickyard. The
total loss is about $l5O, 900. Be.
tween 500 and 1000 cords of
wood were burned. Help was asked OF
Green Bay, Appleton and Oshkosh-two
steamers coming from the first-named
city and one each from the two last
named. During the confagration UNI
known parties set fire to a building in
wooden row, some distance from the
Meiswinkel row.

Shore Road. The timber is dry and the
flames spread with great rapidity. The

town, and a great deal of lumber was
stored there. This was entirely con-
sumed. The loss is estimated at $780,
600. A train Of fourteen cars of lumber
and five cars of logs caught fire near
Marion and burned; loss, about $75, 900.
The full loss OF the lumber and dwell
ings at Buckbee and near Marion will
amount to nearly 100000. There has
been but little rain in that section this
season, and it is presumed that the fire
originated from a spark of a passing To-
connective.

A Cheap Wedding Breakfast.
From the Washington Post

From the Washington Post.
A young bridal couple in the ordinary
at the Ebbitt House yesterday morning
presented the most abject case of gone
ness ever seer even in that RETREAT for
callow connubialitv. They had q great
time over the bill of fare, and kept
their heads SO close together and
looked so languishingly and yearningly
into each others eyes and showed such
alarming symptoms of approaching os-
culation that a crusty bachelor, who,
with a dozen other people, was enjoy
ing the scene, remarked soto voce that
they had better skip the breakfast and
go into the private parlor or back to
their room. Their conversation ran like
this:
"You order something, Baby"
mo, you order"
mo, YOU"
mo, you"
Then came more yearnful looks that
we're enough to lift human souls out of
their sockets by the roots. Then more
of the same sort of talk.
At last "Baby" suggested ice cream
and that was settled upon. Then the
"You order" mo, you ORDER" soulful
glances were all gone through with
again, over the question of what to
drink, and at last, of all imaginable
drinks t(suggested by him), cider was
decided upon.
And so the wedding breakfast consist
ed of ice cream and cider.
1t might have been anything else or
nothing else. They were too near
empyrean to consider base grub.

A Boston dispatch of the 22d says:
Returns from 159 cities and towns show
a vote of 96, 74a against the proposed
prohibitory amendment, and $1,000 for
it. In this ratio the majority against the
amendment will be over A 5000. So de-
cisive is this rejection that well-posted
politicians say it is not probable that g
similar amendment will be submitted
to the people again for several years.
Even Prohibitionists admit that the
defeat Is a crushing one, and that the
outlook for prohibition not only IN
Massachusetts but throughout New En-
gland is very blue. Those who have
watched the progress of the third party
say that prohibition sentiment is on the
wane in the East, and that the restrict
i've measure Of high license is steadily
growing in favor. The liquor law in this
state is now substantially as follows:
Cities and towns must settle for them
selves each year the question of license
but one license can he granted for every
1000 inhabitants, except in Boston,
which may have one license for every
500 inhabitants. The fee for q license is
$1,000 per annum.
A large number of women were at
the polls to-day and fully t~wo-thirds of
the prohibitio1y amendment ballots
were distributed by them. The vote
was much larger than expected. The
day was bright and cool, and both
parties exhibited unusual activity at
the polls. One hundred and ffty-eight
cities and towns outside Of Boston gave
the following vote: Yes, 4 1884; 10, o.
1913. This summary includes the vote Of
the following cities as follows: Worces-
ter, yes, 3,745; no, 1888. Spring
field, yes. 7 1;asS; noe Hos z,6os.
2,2Sl; no, 3,l4s. Fitchburg, yes, 1901;

hill, yes. Sol; no, 1872. Taunton, yes,

yes, 1872; no, 1911. Wobern, yes,
1907; no, 1,479. Salem, yes, 1908; no
$40. The amendment is defeated by
from 81, 600 to $4,000 majority.
The vote as compared with last years
license vote is as follows: The twelve
districts, with tsree towns missing, for
license, 131, 954; against license, 1922.
Th., vote last year val l26, 1S2 for Ii
cense; los, 1888 for prohibition. The ma
;nrity against the amendment with the
towns Of Norwood, Gossellold and See
konk, to hear from, is 1882. The
S-eatest surprise occurred in the city of
Quincy, where the amendment was de-
feated by a vote of 1863 to 49l, the city
having voted no license last November
by 936 plurality. Somerville was the
only city in which a majority was cast
for the amendment, the vote being 1912
to 1916, but in several others the vote
was very close. In Fitchburg the
amendment was defeated by only 81
votes, in Newton b. 40, and in North
ampton by 46 votes.

STRIKERS DRAW PISTOLS.
Eighteen Men Driven Away

Eighteen Non-Union Men Driven Away
from Duquesne.
PITTsBURa, Pa, April 23.-The arrival
this morning of eighteen colored nom
union men at the Allegheny-Bessemer
oboel Works, at Duquesne, where a
strike for an increase of wages is nov
III progress, created considerable excite
ment. About 200 of the strikers
had assembled about the gate lead
ing to the works, and when the
colored men marched up, a num-
Der of the strikers pulled their
revolyers and threatened death to n
man who entered. They seemed in
earnest, and after a parley of nearly an
hour, during which threats of violence
to "black sheep" workmen were made,
the non-union men agreed to return to
the city and not 90 to work. A SUBJ
scr;ption to pay their fares back Was
raised and they returned to Pittsburg on
the next train. The big plant is still
idle, an attempt to resume to-day hav-
ing been abandoned. The strikers keep
off the company's property, but get as
cloee to the line as possible. AS both
sides appear firm a long struggle is ex-
pectad.

RIOTS IN VIENNA.

Anti.Semitic Enthusiasts Precipitate the
Trouble.
There was rioting in the streets Of
Vienna on the 23d. The military
charged the mob with sword and
bayonet and cleared the way. The
rioters were merely anti-Sem-
ltlc enthusiasts, actual workmen
generally not participating in the tu-
NUTS. The government offered to sup
ply soldiers to drive the cars and the
strikers thereupon offered to resume
work Internationally. The directors
decided to re-employ all drivers who
had taken no part in the rioting. At 10
O'Clock p. M. a hand to hand conflict
took place between the soldiers
end the mob near Red House.
The rioters were organized, being
divided into groups of fifty, with a lead
er for each group. These groups Coop
Grated to break the, ranks of the
soldiery. AS in former struggles, the
rioters were defeated and many were
arrested. The rioters tried to set fire to
9 gun factory at Hernals. The troops
tired a volley into the mob and wound
ed many persons. Several shops were
looted. A commissioner of police was
nearly stoned to death by the mob and
was rescued with much difficulty by a
party of dragons.

To Keep Eggs Fresh.
From Good housekeeping.

AAOAA 0O00
In keeping eggs, a place for storing
them which is dry and cool but above
the freezing point, is the first necessity.
There is a difference of opinion as to
which end should be placed down in
packing. Most authorities recommend
the smaller end, but a weil-known poul-
try breeder gives what seems to be a
sound reason for packing them with the
larger end down. He says: "The air.
chamber is in the larger end, and if
that is placed down the yolk will not
break through and touch the shell and
thereby spoil. Another thing, if the
air-chamber is down the egg is not so
liable to shrink away. These are two
important reasons deducted from ex-
periments, and they materially affect
the keeping of eggs" 1t would be a
good scheme Tor hOusekeepers to try
packing eggs from the same lot each
way and noting results.
The favorite domestic way of packing
eggs and one that keeps them we'll for
limited periods is with salt. Put a layer
of salt two inches deep on the bottom of
a stone jar and put in the eggs, ends
down (select your own authority as to
which end it shall be), being careful
that the shells do not touch; fill and
cover well with salt and proceed as be-
fore. Another method, said to keep
eggs perfectly for year, is the same as
the foregoing except that each egg be-
fore packing is rubbed over with a piece
Of fried fat.
A pickle which, it is said, will keep
eggs perfectly for two years, and which
is successfully used on ships at sea, is
made by adding n pint of fresh slaked
lime and one-half pint of salt to each
three gallons OF water; mix well. Have
the barrel or tub in which they are to
be kept half full of the liquid, then with
a dish let the eggs down into it, tipping
the dish after it fills with water 80 that
they roll out without cracking the shell,
for if the shell is cracked the egg will
spoil. A piece Of board should be laid
over the tops Of the eggs and a little
lime and salt kept upon it.
Other methods are, to coat the shells
with a thin gum arabic mucilage, with a
thin varnish made by dissolving gum
