SWEET POTATO WHISKY.
If Found Paying. the Tuber May Becom.
 a Valuable Product.


 Valuable Product.
 J. w. Crow has small bottle of sweet potato whisky that is very in teresting commodity ill this section of the country. and not Il familiar one to the world at large. The liquid is crude and white, as all new whisky is, but it Is the genuine old stuff and not a coun- terfeit. Among the home seekers who have been to this section lately was Mr hansburg, German, who is skilled in the distillation of spirits. When he saw how abundantly sweet potatoes were raised in this section of the country, 1t occurred to him that he could dstill whisky from them. Several bushels of }weet potatoes were shipped to him, and Soon Mike Brown received a half gallon of sweet potato whisky. yAs result of the success of the seaeme arrangements are being made to distill the liquor for commercial pur poses. If the residue can be converted Into starch, the sweet potato will soon become one of the most valuable prod uets of southern soil Augusta Ga Chronicle.

rison's friends. according to story re- lated the other day by an Illinois con- gressman.
 It is reminiseence of Minneapolis. The Harrison opposition, having failed with Blaine and Reed and Mckinley, and everybody else in the effort to unite upon a candidate, finally concluded that Senator Cullom was the man. The senator had retired at midnight. At 3 o'clock in the morning he was awaken ed by the emissaries of the combine, and for an hcur or more they struggled with him to induce him to permit him. self to be used to defeat Harrison in the convention "All you need to do, '" said they, lis to let the Illinois delegation vote for you. We will do the rest. " But Senator Cullom was firm against the al turing temptation. He told his visitors that the Illinois delegation had been in structed for Harrison, and there, so far as he was concerned, they would stay. Not only would he not countenanee any desertion, but if any one of tho delega- tion attempted to vote for him on the floor he would instantly expose the whole proceeding.
 "With Cullom s refusal to lend him. self to the proposition to defeat Harri- son, said the congressman, the oppo- sition practically gave up the fight The coalition never doubted for q moment that it could have formed winning combination with Cullom, and it was with the keenest disappointment that it gave up it's plan to spring him on the convention.

 For Rider. Bicyclist or Walker.
 Gotham will some day-and not . very fa1off day elther-possess one ol the most famous thoroughfares in tht world. Quietly and irresistibly as tht operation of tho tides and other force. of nature, New York has proceeded to ward the realization of one of its ineyi table improvements-a grand concourst or boulevard extending from the Harlen river to Mosholu parkway It will be ! grand drive and promenade connectina the park systems of the metropolis This enterprise when realized will surpass even the famous boulevards of Paris
 It is to run for 4 1s miles along tht ri&er, dividing the Hudson river ano Long Island sound, beginning at the in tersection of One Hundred and Sixty first street and Mott avenue, it's north. ern terminus being Mosholu parkway. just east of Jerome avenue No streets will cross it at grade. but all will gC beneath it, result that is particularly practicable by the naturally elevated situation of this unique highway. Its cost is to be about $20. 1000, 900, $S, GOO. 600 of which, it is estimated, will be required for the acquisition of right of way.
 The time allowed for it's construction is three years. Within year, according to the engineers in charge, the work will be well under way. The last legis latnre gave the city authorities in charge of such improvements all the law need ed to condemn property, make prelinai. gary surveys and perfect arrangements ff0r prosecuting the work, which is to be unique among the famous streets of the earth.
 A glance at the plans prepared shows that the width of the concourse will be 162 feet, and every inch of this space will be utilized so as to make the thor oughfare attractive. In the rough sketch es which hayo been made the engineer has provided for sidewalk on either side. Next to each sidewalk will be an ordinary driveway. The speedways will be ill the middle, fanked on either side by promenade
 It is likely that this plan will be al. tered so as to provide two bridIe paths skirting the speedways. Mosholu park way, into which the eoncourse will run, is 600 feet wide. 1t connects Van Cort- landt and Bronx parks. Another wide street connects Bronx park and Pelham Manor park. It will thus be seen that from the new bridge over the Harlem the coneourse will provide a splendid means of communication with the great parks in north New York.
 There will be at least five rows of trees the entire length of the thorough fare. The fifteen streets, which will run beneath the concourse. will also connect with it, but will not cross the main street. This magnificent highway will be paradise for bicyclists, the possess ors of high steppers and those folk who still stick to the good old fashioned con- stitutionaL And its relations, logical and material, to the further develop ment of up town New York cannot we'll we'll be overestimated.
