FREE WHISKY DISTRIBUTION.
Action of the Department as to Sam
pies at the Atlanta Exposition.

Action of the Department rs to sam.
pies at the Atlanta Exposition.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin has settled
an interesting question in regard to the
free distribution of miniature sample bot
ties of imported whisky at the Atlanta ex-
position. The authorities of the exposition
recently protested against such distribution
as injurious discrimination against them,
inasmuch as they had previously been grant
ed similar privileges. The departments re-
fusal to continue such concession was based
on the fact that the privilege has been else
where abused. The free withdrawal of
whisky under the pretext that 1t was legt-
imately disposed of as samples is said to
have reached unreasonable and unjustifi-
able proportions
Mr. Hamin saws that in order to avoid
ton the department now revokes it's pre-
structs the surveyor of customs at Atlanta
of samples of wines, cordials, spirits, etc.
may be allowed distribution at the EXPOSE
ton free of duty under strict and careful
supervision of the customs authorities"
For this purpose the surveyor is instructed
to require exhibitors to report the quantity
of such samples prepared or held at them
at any one time for distribution and to see
that no excessive quantity is devoted to that
purpose.
The action of the department in this mat
ter Is similar to the course pursued in the
case of the worlds Columbian exposition.

AUTHOR OF "AMER1cA" DEAD.
Rev. DR.. Samuel F. smith Stricken
With Heart Failure.

Rev. DR.. Samuel Francis Smith, author
of America" and of 1.-The Morning Light
is Breaking" died suddenly in the New
England railroad station in Boston Satur-
day afternoon.
With a friend he had started for Read
vile, where he was to address meeting
that night, and they boarded the train
which was about to pull out Of the station.
DR.. Smith at this moment complained of a
pain in his heart and sank to the floor of
the car. The conductor was passing and
he stopped the train and DR.. Smith was
carried into the waiting room. A friend,
who was passing. recognized him and at
once rang in a call to the emergency hos
pital The ambulance and physician ar
rived within three minutes but the services
of the physician were Of no avail. DR..
Smith expired without regaining con-
seriousness.
Rev. DR.. Smith was born October 81,
1903, at Newton. Mass. He was graduated
from Harvard College in 1929 and began
studying for the ministry at -Andover Theo-
logical Seminary, from which institution
he was graduated in 1882 He acquired
four languages In 1881 he was ordained a
minister in the Baptist Church and be-
came pastor of and professor of LANGUAGES
University. at Waterville. Me. He
returned to Boston in 1912 and edited
the Christian Review, a leading Bap-
fist organ. Soon after this, however.
for several years was pastor of the First
Baptist Church at Newton. Following this
he was the editorial secretary of the Mis-
stonary Union.
From 1875 to 1850 he visited foreign lands
in company with his wife. He was re-
ceived everywhere with notable tokens of
regard. He made careful tour of nearly
all of the missionary fields of the world.
His published volumes were many and his
articles for standard reviews without
count. He became proficient In fifteen Ian
guages. from which he absorbed the senti-
mental spirit of the best poets, as well as
prose and literature. He became acquaint-
ed with Lowell Mason and supplied the
words of many songs and hymns for mu-
sic Of that well-known composer. The
national anthem, which made him famous,
Is by far the most popular of his produc-
lions.

AN ELECTRIC GIG.
One to BE Built in This Country for
the. CzaP.

One to BE Built in This Country for
the Gar.
Capt, Mertwago, naval attache Of the Rus
Sian embassy in this city, is making arrange
ments for the construction in this country of
an electric gig for the Car of Russia, and to
that end he has invited bids from six Of the
leading electric launch builders of New
York, Boston and Detroit. He has been au-
thorized to spend $4,000 for the vessel. Dur
ing the Columbian naval review of 1892 the
Grand Duke Alexander, who was with the
Russian fleet, was most fayorably impressed
with the electric launch that formed part of
the equipment of the United States cruiser
New York. AS special act of courtesy he
was permitted to purchase the vessel. The
New York was not fully completed at that
time. and it was possible to build another
launch for her before she could possibly be
put into commission. The grand duke took
lis new acquisition back to Russia with him.
and the car took such fancy to it that he
has commissioned Capt Mertwago to get
him similar one for his own use.
