"Congressmen will please take no
tice that 1 have got this question
down fine, and the Wilson bill en-
bodies my ideas. 1t won't meet your
approval in all things, but you must
pass it because say it is the proper
thing to do. In many districts it
will seriously injure local industries,
and your constituents will greatly
dislike the measure, but you must
vote 1or it nevertheless" -Grover

of the Knights of ST. Patrick. when it

the color selected for the knights

have their facings generally blue, and

STRAIGHTENEO WHISKY.
The Trust Directors Hard Up for None,
Now and short on Ouorum

The Trust Directors Hard Up for Money
Now and Short on Quorum
PEORIA. Ill, May 29.-The directors
Of the Whisky Trust were to have met
to-day and the general opinion was
tnat the outcome of their meeting
would be an application for the APP
pointnent of a receiver. But so far
a quorum has not put in an appear
ance, and about the trust headquar-
tiers it is the opinion that nothing will
be done until tonight or tomorrow
morning.
When the Trust directors adjourned
last Thursday President Greenhut said
they would probably not meet again
antil the regular June session. AS
soon as he returned from Chicago,
however. after the quo warranto hear
ing, he sent out kilograms calling the
meeting this morning. He would not
say so directly, but he allowed the in
ference to be taken that the meeting
was called specially to consider the
grave financial situation of the Trust,
and to consider the advisability of ap-
plying for a receiver.
The company must have funds, and
that at once. There is no doubt of
this. Cash and plenty of it is the only
means Of keeping the trust from going
to the wall. Those who control the
destinies of the organization fully
realize this fact and are doing every
thing in their power to keep the COM
pany afoat. The Peorians who are
interested in the company are not in it
for their health, and if anyone
imagines for a moment that they are
he is badly mistaken Peoria will beat
Wall Street, and if ne :essary to do So
will wreck the trust.
1t is not without the realm of posi-
bility that receiver will be appointed
for the trust at this meeting. There
is no cash on hand, and within the
next three days there will be vast
amount due certain creditors. It is
hardly proba BILE now that a quorum
can be mustered before the arrival of
the evening trains.

Mill Products VIII Not BE Active Until

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 25.-The Iron
Trade Review this week says:
Conse vatism leaning to caution but
not partal1ing of timidity characterizes
the iron market. Business goes steadily
on, in spite of untoward development is
in the East, that have compelled banks
all over the country to shorten their
lines of discounts sharply and to stop
making new loans; but there
is deal of waiting by pro-
jectors of new enterprises. Con-
sequently expectations have not
been met ir the finished material
trade, and mill products will not move
out into consumption in volume equal
to that of year ago, for example,
until money again becomes availa BILE
in usual quantity and Oh usual securi-
ties
In the raw-iron market the feature
is the change of feeling among East
ern producers. An advance Of about
35 cents in freights on Southern pig to
all points on the Pennsylvania, Balti-
more & Ohio and Reading Railroads
takes effect June 1, and, while no de-
cided quotations have been made as
yet, Pennsylvania holders are disposed
to ask from 20 to so cents more for
standard irons.

a characteristic anecdote of DR..
Be-rian, former rector of Trinity
parish.
He was an Indifferent preacher
but fine executive officer and a man
of great personal kindness. Withal
he must have been either very
simple hearted or else given to
speaking ironically.
A country clergyman, half starved
on salary of $500 a year, came to
DR.. Berrian, asking his influence to
get him a better charge.

A certain Desaugiers, at the time
of popular uprising in Paris, when
the people took possession of the
Tuileries, fastened to the palace
at midnight to see what was
going on. At the gate he was
stopped by two revolutionists of
ominous appearance. "Why do you
not wear the cockade, citizen?
Where is your cockade3" they asked.
A mob gathered about him and de-
manded fiercely: Citizen, where is
your cockade?" Desaugiers took off
his hat, turned it around and around,
looked at it on Oil sides, and then
said, in a tone of mild surprise:
"Citizens, it is strange, very strange!

Scenes and Ceremonies Attending the
Progress of the Funeral Train
MOBILE, Ala, May 29.-The train
bearing the remains of Jeff Davis and
escort made a quick run, but a very
dusty one, from New Orleans to this
city, and at every sta ton crowds were
assembled. At Beauvoir, where Mr.
Davis had made his home, the track
and station platform had been carpeted
with the most beautiful and frrg-
rent snow white rhododendrons.
1t had been expected that the
escort would have time to visit the
Davis residence, but the stay was too
short for this purpose. General and
Mrs. Joseph r. Davis boarded the train
and gazed upon the beautiful decora-
tions which surrounded the catafalque-
Several large floral tributes Were added
at Beauvoir, and if other points con-
tribute as well in that respect it will
take one car for the flowers.
At 2 o'clock a. N. at Scranton, Miss,
Major-General Whiting and staff had
their car attached to the train, and
special car bearing Gov. Jones and
staff joined the Davis train.
Montgomery, Ala, May %. - The
funeral train arrived here today and
the body was conveyed with military
escort to the Alabama building where
Mr.. Davis years ago took the oath as
president.
Amid great pomp the coffin was
placed in the supreme court room,
which was tastefully decorated. Great
crowds gathered.
