BLOW AT THE WHISKY TRUST.

BLOW AT THE WHISKY TRUST.
cago.
William Newburger Of Chicago yesterday
afternoon, by decision Of Justice Wallace,
obtained judgment against the Distillers and
Cattle Feeders Company. commonly known as
the whisky trust, for SlOs and interest. II this
decision is sustained the precedent will. it is
said deprive the trust Of some SIS, 900, 900 of
consumers money. The whisky trust has a
regulation by which its goods sold at an ad-
vance Of cents above the actual market price.
Rebate vouchers are issued for the excess and
these are paid providing the holder for six
months after buys all mis- goods from the trust.
The vouchers on which the present case was
brought nre held by Mr. Newburger, having
been assigned to him by Stein Brothers. who
had not bought all their goods from the whisky
trust. The trust, therefore. refused to honor
the rebate vouchers.
The suit was instituted to establish a prece-
dent, as, If the claim is good, it may be made
by other holders of these rebate vouchers. As
a result Of the decision suits will at once be in
etituted in the higher courts for amounts vary
ing from So to $4,000.
Attorneys for the trust confined their defense
to heated cross-examination of the witnesses.
The plaintiff claimed that the condition on the
vouchers was unlawful and had resulted In an
agreement which permitted the rebates to place
In the hands of the trust SIS 600 900 of the
sumer's money. The defendants claim that
eastern judges have decided that a consumer
cannot collect the cash value OF the certificates
ii he violates the agreement. An appeal will
probably be taken, but Attorney Solomon who
represents Newburger, is confident that the
precedent will be successfully established. The
effort is not only being made for the purpose of
obtaining the money but it is also intended to
bring about an open market, it being supposed
that other distillers opposed to the trust will
start up in opposition and that lower prices will
prevail

HE Is NO WORSE.
Mr.. Blaine Passed . Rsasonsbly Comfortable

MI. Blaine Passed Reasonably Comfortable
Day and Night.
The condition Ct Mr.. Blaine Il il cannot b
sale to be any better can be said TO be no
worse for the past twerty-four hours before

to rest we'll, and since the attack Of Sunday has
shown no relapse, there il considerable encour-
agement for the family. The malady is, how
ever, organic and in the nature Of things must
grow worse with time.
The nature Of the ex-SeereAry's disease IL
still guarded With care by the physicians and
family. This 10 done, says DR.. johnson, not to
request Of the family. There viii be no con-
sulfation at the house, but Drs. johnson and
Hyatt viii call together once or twice day, as
they have done heretofore With the arrival
Yesterday Of Robert Blaine, brother Of the
sick man, and Walter Damrosch the family cir
Gle Is practically completed
That there is less apprehension on the part Of
the public and the friends Of Mr. Blaine over
his condition was manifest In the comparatively
small number Of visitors who left their cards at
the mansacn during the afternoon. The big
red house has again assumed its wonted air, and
there was less activity surrounding 1t since
Sunday night. Several visitors dropped in to
inquire as to the condition of the statesman, but
none Of them were admitted to the house.
Just after dark the physicians called again.
They were both Of the opinion that there had
been q little improvement and felt treasured.
DR.. johnson made his last call about midnight
His patient was sleeping at the time and he
waited until the time for him to take his
came around. When the doctor
left the house he said that there had been no
change for the worse aud that from present in
dications no immediate relapse need be sx-
pected.

Hagen won by about forty feet. The race was
three miles and the track four and a-half laps
TO the mile. Hagen's time was $685., $50, 947.
Mccormick took the lead at the start and main
tanned it for the next three laps, when Hagen
came fast and led to the finish. In the ninth
Mccormick spurted for time and it looked ss
if the race was his and he would recover the
laurels lost in Norway year ago, but in the
eleventh Hagen increased his lead and held it

Burned by a Trolley Wire.

The heavy snow at Lancaster, Pa, yesterday
broke telephone wire on Walnut street and
the wire fell across the trolley wire of the
Lancaster electric street railway horse
driven by Christian Nef, a farmer of East
Lampeter township, stepped on the wire and
Immediately dropped as if shot. In its strug-
giles to release itself the animal became inextri-
cably entangled, and the wire burned into his
flesh, causing a sickening odor. Efforts to
release the animal were unsuccessful until the
wire was burnt through by the trolley current
and fell to the ground The force of the cur
rent. 500 volts, was no. sufficient to kill the
horse. but be was terribly burned.

Bogus Commission Agents.


Edward N. Wildman and Herman Wittig. late
Of Philadelphia and doing business in Chicago
under the names Of Illinois Lumber Company"
and "Wildman Il Company, 2" were arrested yes
terday by federal officers on complaints charg-
ing them with use Of the malls for the purpose
Of swindling and sworn to by Post Office In
spector Griggs Of Philadelphia. The method
Of the two men was to send out letters to small
lumbermen In the middle states asking for
quantities Of lumber and give as references
Sherman b Company, a fake concern in Phila-
delphia. When the lumber was sent on one of
the men signed the bill Of lading, while the
other made haste to sell the cargo as soon as
possible. When the creditor tried to recover
his money he found that none of the lumber
mems associations knew anything about Sher-
man Company. Sherman d Company was a
mythical company and relief was out Of the
question. Two months ago the two men went
from Philadelphia to Chicago and opened an
Office at 81 Adams street. They began imme-
diately to do business on the old lines, doing
Philadelphia as well as Chicago business from
the one Office. The post Office inspector in
Philadelphia was telegrsphed to 60 to Chicago
at once with evidence.

CHINESE POETRY.
The Ancien. Verse of an Ancient People In
Modern Dress.

Modern Dress.
An interesting account Of the origin, nature.
scope and influence Of the odes Of China was
given by DR.. v. d. Collins the other evening in
the first Of the series of winter lectures under
the auspices Of the Y. NJ. c. Association. The
lecturer has resided many years in China and
devoted much time to the study Of her ancient
classics. In his opinion the literature Of China
is vastly underestimsted, a. are all the great
elements of her enduring civilization.
In illustration Of his remarks he recited during
! the course Of the lecture some Of his metrical
versions Of these poems.
The odss Of China, he said have come down
to US from a very remote antiquity-their au-
thers unknown-but they have ever held their
supreme place in China, touching, swaying and
holding more human hearts than all other
literature put together. They we're memorized
and recited OF sung at religious and other fes-
various feudAl states long before Homer or
Saffo sang In Greece or King David in Judea,
and il was not until as late as 525 years before
the birth Of Christ that Confucius travelled
throughout the empire, collected, classi-
fed and edited many Of these odes
and made them the great civilizing
power both for rulers and people.
The chief claims OF these odes to our considera-
ton are their acknowledged antiquity-their
often deeply religious character-their express
sions of spiritual, social and domestic law
their moral purity-their exhibition of early
chinese customs, sentiments and habits, and
their subtle and long-continued power over SO
many million minds. To properly estimate the
value of these odes it must be constantly borne
in mind that they we're composed in the golden
to
course with God. as claimed by the Hebrew
race, and with no concentrated culture, drawn
from all lands. as exhibited in the schools OF
Athens and Alexandria. All these considera-
atoms make them supremely interesting as .
study of original thought
