Greatest DistilIery in the Country to
Produce That Kind.
NEW York, Oct. 3O.-One of the or.
ganizers of the great White Spirit COM
pany. which filed articles of incorpora-
ton, on Friday, says the company's
plant has been under construction at
East Boston for year aud half. 1t is
the largest single distiliery in the United
States. 1t will commence the produc-
tion of spirits Jan. /, and will operate
to the capacity of 1000 barrels per day.
The product will be made from molasses
by patents controlled by the company.
The company owns a line of steam
boats, also wharves aud other facilities,
which will materially reduce the cost
of operations.
The company has no utilization what
ever with the Distilling and Cattle
Feeding company. 1t will have its
own distributors III all commercial cen
ters. 1t has no business relations with
the National Distributing company or
the American Distributing company.
The company has plantations in the
West Indias and Brazil, where it will
produce its raw material. Richard G.
Sibiey Of New York, one of the organ,
izers ofithe United States Rubber com
pany, will probably be the president of
the new company.

A Life.

Success cannot be measured by
fame, wealth or station. The life OF
the humblest woman in the land, il
well lived, is as successful as is that
of the women who with greater op,
portunities, is enabled to make the
results of her works reach farther.
Some of us must live for the few, as
others again must live for the many.
But both lives are successful. Each
of US in this world influences some
other being, and it is the quality OF
our influence, and not the number
we influence, which makes our lives
successful in the eyes of God. We
may believe that we go to our
graves unknown aud unsung, but
not one of US goes out from this
world without leaving an impress.
ion, either for the good or the bad.
And the kind of impression we
make while we live, and leave when
we die, is the difference between
successful and unsuccessful living

He Was Fed.


That old motto, "Where there is q
will there is way" though now a
little out of fashion, perhaps, and
somewhat exaggerated, as is the
case with notices in general, is still
expressive of truth.
Writing of cid times at White
Sulphur Springs, Gen. Maury says
there were many complaints of the
fare at the hotel. The dignified
proprietor used to console his guests
by remarking that they really paid
nothing for their dinners, but only
for the wonderful sulphur water
which he had discovered.
One day in tho height of the sea-
son, when the crowd was great and
the service scanty, the people in the
dining room were startled by heart
rending cries of "Murderl Murderl''
Steward and servants rushed to the
victim, who in answer to their ea.
ger inquiries informed them that he
could get nothing to eat, and was
dying of starvation.
That young man was served well
and promptly as long as he remain

Stopping a Paper.

a story told OF Horace Greeley re-
lates that an acquaintance of hisgot
offended at one Of his articles in the
Tribune, went to the Office and put
an end to his subscription. Later
in the day he met the editor and
said: "Mr. Greeley, I've stopped
your paper" @Haye you9" queried
Horace, adding, "weli, that's too
bad" and the old white hat went Its
way. The next morning Greeley
encountered his former subscriber
again and accosted him with, Il
thought you had stopped the Tri-
bune.'' $50 I did ;" "Then there
must be some mistake" replied
Horace, "for l just came from the
Office and the presses were running
as usual, and the clerks were as
busy as ever, the compositors were
hard at work and the business was
going on the same as on yesterday
and the day before" sob, ejacula-
ted the old subscriber, al did not
mean that I had stopped the paper;
l stopped my copy of. it, because L
didn't like one of your editorials.
"Pshawr' retorted Greeley, sit
wasn't worth while taking up my
time to tell me such trifie as that.
My dear sir, if you expect to control
the utterances of the Tribune by the
purchase of one copy a day or ii
you think TO find any newspaper
worth reading that will never ex-
press convictions at right angles
with your own, you are doomed
to disappointment. The Tribune
would not be deserving of respect If
it could be coerced by the threat of
the loss of one subscriber, or a
hundred, or ten thousand, or every
one it has, to refrain from telling
the truth as it sees it. My friend,
this free country, and the man
who docs not give freedom of opin-
ion TO others does not deserve it
himself. Good day."

FORTUNE FROM A ROSE.

How the eAmeriean Beauty,s Was
Originated.
There is an interesting story
about the origin of the rose known
as the American Beautp. It was
first grownin Washington, and here
it attained It's renown. The late
Hon. George Brancroft, besides be-
ing historian and scholar, was one
of the first amateur rose growers in.
America. Every year he imported
cuttings from the leading flower
growers of Europe. The King of
Prussia-when old Kaiser William
was King-allowed the American
historian to have a slip of whatever
he might fancy in the royal conser-
vatories. Mr.. Bancroft's gardner
used to cultivate some of his roses
in an old house away ont in the
west end of the city. Mrs. Grant
bad florist named Field in charge
of the White House conservatory.
lie was a rose grower of rare merit
and skill in his artistic work. One
day he happened into the old build
ing where Mr.. Bancroft's gardner
potted his plants and budded his
roses. Over in a corner he obserY-
ed rose of variety unknown 10
him, and of wonderful size and per-
fection in form and color.
"Where did this come from, he
carelessIy inquired-of his rose grow
ing confrere.
"oh, it is the Offshot from some
cuttings we imported form Ger
many" the man replied.
1t was evident to Mr.. Field that
the other did not in the least COM
prehend the value of the new plant.
After some talk Mr.. Field bought
the cuttings he had seen for So. A
year thereafter, when he had pro-
pagated his new purchase, and be.
come convinced that he had q new
and very valuable variety of rose,
which he named the American
Beauty, he sold his find for $4,000,
the most wonderful result of the in
vestment ofs5 on record. To fol-
low his luck a little further, Mr..
Field invested his easily earned
$4,000 in lands near the city, which
in a little less than three years sold
for S50,0OO. Truth is sometimes
stranger than fiction. In this in
stance it certainly was.

"His goods are made by the
pauper labor of Europe, my son.
He gets them made SO cheaply that
he can afford to pay us something
to take them off his hands,.
"Do we have any pauper labor
in this country, pa?
s'No, my son, all our workmen
get princely salaries and fare
sumptuously every day. They own
their houses and drive their car
riages."
"Doour manufacturers live sumpt-
uously too, PAP"
so, no, my son. They find it
hard to make accounts balance.
They pay all they earn over to
their employees"
"Do these taxes on foreigners
help the manufacturers financially,
pa?"
"Not at all, my son. They are
solely for the benefit of the laboring
man. 1t is this way /: Not very
many foreigners can afford to do
business with us after this plan.
Only wealthy ones can trade with
us and they do it for their health
only, they don't want to make
money. And as SO few can afford
to trade with us we have a chance
to give the laborer more work, you
see. That is the motto of every
employer in this country, Carnegie
and all. More work and higher
pay for the laboring man"
"WeIl, pa, if the foreigner pays
the tax, why don't we make it a
heavier tax and thus raise enough
money to pay all expenses of the
government"
"That's just it, my son. When
the Republicans get into power
again we are going to lay such a
tax on all foreigners doing business
with US that we will get enough to
run the whole government and be-
sides to fit up homes and ssylums
for disabled manufacturers who
have stinted themselves all through
life and have been left ponniless in
their old age"
