MOONsHINING IN JAIL.
A Prisoner In an Alabama Jail Made
Illicit whisky,

On Information Deputy Collector Tut
weller went to the county jail at Birming-
ham. Ala. yesterday, and visited the cell of
Charles Wellborn, a noted swindler where
he captured a miniature Illicit still which
Wellborn had made and has had In opera
ton for some time in Jail. The still was
hidden under a table and was improyised
from bucket in which were a piece of
curled gas pipe as a worm, three tin boxes
as fermenters and spttoon as a furnace
Molasses, apples and the like furnished the
prisoners as food were used as material
for making the rum
Wellborn had a trial before Commissioner
Hunter In the afternoon for Illicit distilling.
The still was produced in court and Well
born seemed to delight In explaining its
operation: II had daily capacity of one
gallon. Wellborn was bound over in the
sum Of $500. The Jail has been full of
moonshiners and from these Wellborn
learned to make the whisky.
Wellborn's record reads like romance
TWO years ago he had an Office at Birming-
ham. Big consignments of goods were
shipped to him, for which he never paid.
After his arrest for fraudulent use of the
mails he forged a bond and escaped. going
to New York, where he stole yacht and
sailed for Florida. There he robbed a rail-
road ticket Office and was sent to the pent-
Tertiary. He turned up next in Texas
where he swindled people out Of several
thousand acres of land. He was arrested
in New Orleans several months ago and
brought back to Jail.

DATE OF CUP RACE CHANGED.
First International Yacht Contest to
Re Sailed Septen Der 2S.

First International Yacht Contest to
Re Sailed September -.
The news has been received that the
date of the first race for the Americas cup
is changed from October to September Is.
For some time there has been feeling
that the date first set was too late to OBJ
tain the best results, and besides the
weather in October was not considered
by some as good for the purpose as in Sep
TENDER
Ex-Commodore James d. Smith, chairman
of the Americas cup committee. said last
night to a World reporter:
IT have personally interviewed the own.
ers Of three of the big sloops and 1 found
they were willing to have the date changed
to one week earlier l think the fourth
with the others, and Lord Dunraven has
asked several times that the date be set
earlier. so that he can have time 10 ges
the Nalkyrie ready to go back to England
when the races are over. So We Thought
it best to see the owners of the sloops and
TT is said that none of the big sloops
has been measured yet Is that fact?' =.
Yes. and we don't know just when 1t
will be done Mr. aysoPG o the s club
no doubt 1t will be done as soon as ne gets
a chance. The boats have been racing sc
steadily since they came out that there has !:
been no chance to get their measurement.
Mr.. Smith says he believes the change
in the date Of the race will be beneficial
to all concerned. He does not care to say
which Of the yachts he favors. but II is
evident that he thinks the Vigilant very
good boat.
Several yachtsmen Of prominence say that
by reason of her bronze hull the Nigiiant
should do better than the others.
Mr. Smith and A. Cass Garfield, both of
the Americas cup committee, went out for
sail on the Pilgrim yesterday. They
were pleased with her work. They met the
Viglant outside coming in and In a little
brush they had the Pilgrim held her own

Jennie LOOmis Shot Herself Because
She Was Forbidden a Lover.

Jennie L. Loomis. sixteen years old,
daughter Of B. T. Loomis. wealthy resi-
dent Of Baltimore. has been for some weeks
at her fathers summer residence. At the
house of a neighbor was Everett Bunnell Of
Hartford. who Is somewhat more than
twenty years OF age.
Miss Loomis made his acquaintance less
than a month ago and became fascinated
with him. There was nothing Objectionable
about him personally or socially. but Mr..
Loomis considered his daughter too young
to have a lover. and when he noticed her
liking for young Bunnell he told her that
her acquaintance with him must come to
an end
Jennie worried over this check to her first
love affair and was moody and low spirited
for several days. She was engaged in
household duties few days ago, and II Is

told her she would do il much better IL
she were not so much in love.
She left her room. went upstairs and TAX

On both sides of the two blocks on Broad

stood about 8 o'clock last night
watching stylishly dressed young
woman who had been drinking too
much. She began her pranks in n
drug store. where. accompanied by her es-
cort, she had gone to make some purchases.
So boisterous did she grow that the
young man hurried away. Then the young
woman. who was attired in white gathered
her skirts in her hands and executed sew
eral daring steps
This jeopardized her equilibrium and in
Fighting herself she threatened to wreck
the stock OF cologne.
When the loungers in front of the Hotel
Metropole laughed she turned on them with
the exclamation: II hail from California,
have property, and expect to land in jail"
A bystander said that the young woman
belongs to an estimable family, and has
two sisters in good society. The erring one.
