A Whisky Trust Man Talks About the
Dynamite Developments.
W. o. Happe, of the Cincinnati Union Dis
tilling Company, one of the distributors for the
Chicago Whisky Trust, is at the Monongahela
House. When asked If he knew anything
about the alleged dynamite plot of Secretary
Gibson, he said: II think il is gigantic con.
spiracy on the part of somebody to injure the
trust. What object could q concern with a
capitalization of $500 600 and doing IS per
cent of the business, have to commit such a
diabolical deed? The whole story bears the
stamp of falsehood on the face of it. and un-
doubtedly was devised to entrap the Secretary.
"Shufeldt IS the great antitrust man, but his
opposition does not hurt the combination.
Within the last month am told the trust has
won over 500 of his Gust tomers.
II don't think any Of the trust men are low
enough to commit murder to secure business
and silence competitor. MIR. Gibson used to
be connected with the C. G. c. & l. road, and
have always found him to be a kind-hearted
lcvel-headed man."

How England Could rake Cb,oapo.

Our lake frontier is cobweb. No
land defenses of such towns as Chi
cago, situated on the shore itself, could
save them from bombardment. The
best army could not protect Chicago
against a mediocre modern fleet. The
shipping and commerce of the lakes
is attractive. The goods afioat and
ashore suffice to pay huge war in
demnity. They are all at the mercy OF
an English flotiIla Some people i'm
agine that modern war has been hui
manized out of such measures as bonn
bardment. But Paris was bombarded
In 1870; so was Strasburg, and its
beautiful cathedral spire was seriously
injured. War has no aesthetic maxims.
The occupation of a seaport leaves no
alternative but submission and the pay
ment of a heavy ransom-or lombard
ment. In a town like Chicago this
would be followed by fire, and we all
remember the 5000, 900, 600 lost in the
fire of 1S71.-Col. T. A. Dodge in Fo-

When DIR. Thomson was bishnr of
Gloucester he was occasionally suf-

medical advice, to narcotics to relieve
the pain. One morning, after night
of great suffering, he left the house to
consult the doctor, Mrs Thomson en-
treating him not to allow the latter to
prescribe a narcotic, as it affected his
brain for some hours afterwards. On
his way the bishop met the postman,
who handed him large official en-
velope.
He opened it in the street and read
to his surprise and qualification, his APP
pointment to the see Of York. He
hastened back to communicate to his

Wales Bew,gsed.

1t is stated, ''on very good authority"
that the Prince of Wales has decided
that on his return to London he will
take up and interest himself in, even
more pronounoedly tl,an he has hitherto
done, the important question the dwell
ings of the poor. The majority of peo-
Pile know that the prince has already
done much In this direction. In addition
to presiding at conferences on the sub
ject, his royal highness has figured as a
"slummer." He has visited some of the
most notorious quarters in the East End
of the metropolis, peering into thieves
dens and other still more disreputable
places, where filth and squalor have been
painfully conspicuous.
OF course his royal highness has not
been known at these times except to
perhaps one individual who accompanied
him; on more than one occasion he has
not been content with donning shabby
attire, but has assumed a wig and false
beard. The prince, however, feels very
keenly on the subject Of the ameliora-
tion OF the poorer classes, and is ex-
tremely desirous 20 do his best on their
behalf.-Western Mercury.

equaled by Doncaster, for whom the

teen years ago. Blair Athol, the most
beautiful horse. il is sud. that ever raced
in England, came next, the owner of the
Gotham stud causing the world to won
der when he bought him at the fabulous
sum of $02, 800. In sixteen seasons this
celebrated horse earned in stud fees the
enormous sum of $325,0O0
Melton went to Italy at 1000, and
Verneuil to Hungary at $4,000. Mr..
Crawford gave $4,000 for Isonomy, and

In comparison with these prices the
