CASH FOR UNCLE SAM.
Treasury OmciaIs Count On Much from the
Whisky Tax.

WHISKY
There was great activity In the
United States Internal Revenue Offices
following the final passage of the tariff
bill. Distillers were anxious to get
their whisky out Of boni at the reve-
nue. rate Of o cents, and the receipts
were phenomenally age. Commits
sioner Miller estimates receipts from
the whisky tax at about million and
half dollars per day fer twelve days.
This will add about SIS, 900, 900 to the
81. 927, 500 alre ldy collected from IL ter
nal revenue du ing August, and Com
missioner Miller believes tie figures
may run even higher and carry the
total Tor the month to 100000. The
customs receipts will reach about
Sl2, 000,O 900 per month at the present
rate, ard will make the total receipts
81, 100000.
The tide has turned with the be-
ginning IF the new fiscal We r in the

since August, lSy5.
The total exports for July were $751;
7l3, 1873, against exports in July, 1893,
of 800, 1885,. The seven months end
ing July 81, showed almost exactly the

Two Cases Tried i'm the Police Court
Today,

There were two cases involving the sale
court this morning. In one case Samuel NJ
Pastorfield was defendant, and appeared
and stood trial. He was defended by Law
yer James e. Padgett, who conducted a
lengthy examination of Prof. Hird of the
health department, who was the chief wit
ness for the prosecution. According to his
evidence the milk in question did not come
up to the standard, the analysis showing a
subtraction of the fatty substance and water
added. The milk in question. it is alleged,
was to have been served in the defendant S
dining room on Louisiana avenue.
For the defense 1t was shown that the
sample of milk obtained by the inspector
was in the condition 1t was received. MIR.
Pastorfeld explained that the sample was
taken from a large can, and there was only
a small amount of milk left In the can, and
counsel explained that in dipping milk from
the can most Of the fatty substance had
been removed, as it would naturally rise to
the surface, and the test, he thought, was
not fair one.
The defendant In his statement showed
how he had endeavored to improve the
quality of his milk since he was prosecuted
some time ago. He changed his dealer, and
the latter was present in court to tell that
he sold Mr.. Pastorfleld the milk just as he
had received 1t.
Counsel argued the case, and Judge Taylor
in disposing of the matter said that the
defendant had made an honest effort to
comJS with the law, and took his personal
bonds.
Frank Miller was defendant in the other
case. 1t was charged that he put ice in the
milk served in his dining room on Louisiana
avenue. He failed to appear when called,
and his collateral, so, was forfeited.

ANOTHER EDITION.
How Constituents VIII Get the Ia
nous Horse Book.

The country Is to be RECALLED with another
edition of the celebrated horse book is
sued from the Department Of Agriculture
during the administration of Secretary
Rusk- This is one of the most valuable
books ever published by the government,
and has been so largely sought that the
supply has been exhausted for some time.
1t consists of a number of treatiseS on dis
eases of the horse by experts in special
lines, profusely illustrated by colored plates
that make the volume quite desirable
picture book as we'll as work of refer
ence. 1t Is considered by Congressman that
this book is one of the most valuable gifts
that can be made TO constituent, short
of an office, and of late the pressure upon
Senators and members for this public docu-
ment has become so great that the Senate
committee on printing, at the last moment
the other day, brought forward an amend
ment to the printing reorganization bill to
print new edition of the horse book of
1900 volumes. OF these $1,000 are to be
for the use of the House and 25,ooO for the
use of the Senate This will make 90, 000
volumes in all printed by Congress. The
first edition was of 100000 by act of 1891,
and the second of 5000 by resolution of
the Senate in 1892. In addition there has
been another edition by the Agricultural
Department. The bill is now in conference
and 1t is not altogether certain that the
appropriation for this new edition will
finally stand,

THE STARS AND STRIPES.
to Float Old Glory on
the Capitol.

Senator Hale has several hobbies, but
none that he rides more vigorously than
that of the national flag. He believes that
the stars ana stripes should float over the
public buildings throughout the hours of
light, and especially in the case of the
Capitol. Some time ago'he pointed out that
when Congress Is nos in session there is no
chance of a flag flying over the great white
building, unless a staff should be provided,
Independent of those that indicate the
presence or the abssnce of the legislators.
So he finally managed to get two fiagstaffs
erected on the east and west fronts of the
building. immediately in Zine with the dome,
and for time the eolors floated gaily from
the Capitol. But at last 1t was discovered
that there was no appropriation to buy
these flags and so the custom was shelved,
and the staffs were, used only on holidays.
Mr.. Hale called attentions to this fact during
the past winter, butswas unable to do any
thing then. Being a member of the COM
mittee on appropriations however, he has
at last succeeded idgetung a start toward
victory, and the Senate has amended the
sundry civil bill by inserting the following
amendment:
ITO provide flags for the east and west
fronts of the center of the Capitol, to be
hoisted daily, under the direction of the
Capitol police board, 800, or so much there
OF as may be necessary"

decided on favorabiy to fits continued use

time or 20 be issued later, are 8 % and 80
