Five DtStilleries VIII Withdraw From the

It looks as il the whisky trust was doomed,
says Peoria special to the New York Times.
Saturday night the officials of five Of the prin-
cipal working distilleries sent notice to the
trust that they would take possession of their
plants at once and work them in their own in
terests.
The daily capacity of these five distilleries is
16, 500 bushels and they are the main reliance of
the trust. The names of those who withdrew
follow: Woolner Brothers. Z. S. Easton. II. &
]. Schwabacher and j. H. Francis. They served
written notice on John BegSs. first vice presi-
dent OF the Distiiling and Cattle Feeding Com
pany. The news quickly spread and reporter
sought out Samuel Wooner.
Mr. Woolner said that he fully realized that

these men was O deathbiow to the whisky

Suspicious Circumstances Attending tn,
Tragedy.

Suspicious Circumstances Attending the
Tragedy.
There are very suspicious circumstances sur
rounding the burning to death at Waterbury,
Conn.,, Friday night OF Mrs. Mary Monroe, a
domestic in the family of Henry Roberts Of
Naugatucket, and Maud Roberts, Mr.. Roberts
daughter, aged five years.
An unknown peddler was seen going into the
house early in the morning while Mr.. and Mrs.
Roberts were at work in shop. Late in the
afternoon. just before the fire was discovered,
the peddler was seen running away.
The theory of Medical Examiner Tuttle is
that the little girl entered the house and found
tho peddler and the domestic; the peddler
struck the child, knocking her insensible, and
then set fire to her clothes to conceal his crime,
the domestic being on the bed drunk.
The peddler had been taxing beer into the
house all day. The medical examiner thinks
that the peddler also set fire to the curtains
down stairs in order to make it appear that the
fire started from the first floor.
The child's feet and legs from the knees down
were not burned, making it probable that the
clothes had not been set on fire. The domestic 8
body was burned from the thighs upward.
Coroner Mix will investigate both deaths The
peddler is still at large.

THE WOMEN OF GREECE
Short and Rotund and Not Often yisib,. nm

Short and Rotund and Not Often yisib,e nm
the Streets.
From the Pail Msn Budget.
An Englishman visiting Greece for the first
time is struck, sooner or later. by a CERTAIN
dulness in the street life Of its towns. which IL
may take him some little time to define and
trace to its real cause. At length. and sud-
denly, the fact comes to him that there are
few, if any, women visible among the foot
passengers. No wonder, he reflects. that the
streets should appear dull to him, shorn as
they are of all the variety that woman's pres
ence and dress ever lends to the thoroughfares
Of countries further west In Greece it is
only toward evening. and then for but q brief
period, that the fair sex take an outing, unless
the pressure of some urgent business should
compel them TO fit rapidly through the throng
of men who at other times monopoiize the
streets Nor will a foreigner meet with them
serving in the shops. the restaurants or the
cafes; they will still be conspicuous by their
absence. In fact, unless he visits them IN the
privacy OF their homes, he will scarcely do more
than catch an occasional glimpse OF them at
the upper windows of some private dwelling
seasonable they will sit reading and sewing
and craning their necks out to watch the
passers-by below. The effects of this sedentary
NE, SO antagonistic to our English faith in open
ar ana exercise. are very marked on the fair
forms of the Grecian women An embon-
point, not to designate it by the more vulgar
term corpulence. is the most apparent result
OF this indoor existence, but this tendency TO
gross nesh is an attraction to the modern
Greek, who. like the Turk. finds in superfuous
rat an additional beauty. To every country its
standard of female loveliness. For Greece the
typical woman may be roughly sketched thus:
She is short broad and stout; of a pale. creamy
complexion. with dark hair, beautiful ewes and
features fairly regular, but not classical The
prevailing impression that she leaves upon the
Englishman is that she has whisper the words)
a squat figure.
But TO quit the towns, where il will be seen
that women play but snail part in public life
and to turn TO the rural districts of Greece
Here woman takes a more active part in every
day life. She ii is who draws the water. brings
IN the wood that the men have felled in the
torest. or who pluckily earns her wages as a
day laborer in the maize or corn field In the
burning summer In the icy winter. she is ever
to the fore, working, working, with her veil
hanging loosely over head ready to be folded
across her mouth should a strange man an
proacb. 1t 10 matter for thought how wide
spread even now among the country districts
Is this old custom of yelling the lower part OF
the face at the approach of an unknown men,
Der OF the opposite sex. 1t is one sign among
many that 1t Is not SO very long ago since the
Turks were masters Of this purple land, where
law secures not life"

THIS IS A LIKELY STORY.

or Course Sullivan Was Not to Blame for
Assaulting the One Armed Lawyer.
NEW York, May 2a-The Daily America
this morning says: 1t seems that John L. Sulli-
van was not to blame for the little unpleasant
ness on the train at Biddeford, Me-, last week.
A Boston Herald man gives this account OF
what really happened: When the train had
passed over the New Hampshire line Sullivan,
like many Of his fellow passengers, had fallen
asleep. In the seat with him was a Bos-
ton gentleman, Mr.. Sheehan. who was
en- route to Portland to attend q funeral.
This lawyer. Lezotte, who, q couple Of seasons
ago ball umpire in Lewiston, reached
over Sullivan to shake hands with Mr.. Sheehan.
Lezotte's lighted cigar burned Sullivan's face,
and the iatter, being suddenly awakened with
pain from the burns he received, swore at Le-
zotte. telling him to go away. Lezotte, being
as big man as Sullivan. gave back talk, when
Sullivan pushed him away and resumed his nap.
Lezotte was about to approach Sullivan again
when the manager, q Mr.. Howard, struck Le-
zotte. who was apparently under the influence of
liquor.
Hence it cost Sullivan 81 200 for his ''extras''
in trip to Maine. A bank note was a panacea
for Mr.. Lezotte's alleged injuries.
