ANOTHER WHACK 1T HARTFORD.
 Hartford has had some saddening snubs lately and there is another in store for 1t. The New York Journal reports that from time to time ex- pressions of sentiment have been heard as to the desirability of removing the offices of the National Trotting associa- ton from Hartford to New York, and the indications are that the matter is to be actively agitated. When the National Trotting association was founded, at the city of Hartford, and incorporated under the laws of Connec- ticut, in the early days of the trotting turf, Hartford was city of far greater importance in the trotting world than now. It was central in the territory first embraced by the association, and Hartford was for years. after Buffalo, the greatest link in the Grand Circuit. Times have changed and circumstances with them. Hartford is no longer in the Grand Circuit. It is not even "a trotting town in small way, and the gates of Charter Oak rust on their hinges. Not only the entire country east of the Alleghanies, North and South, but Detroit, Cleveland, and the other tracks in the middle West, are in the National Associations member ship. The principal business of that board is transacted at its New York sessions. The biennial congresses ot the association are held in New York, and every consideration of conven- fence to it's members and it's officials make New York the logical headquar- ters of the association. New York is the point of export, fully nine-tenths of the trotters exported going through New York. There is an inspector at that port, working under the authority of the National Trotting association, but after the exporter secures the 70 K." of the inspector the certificate must then secure the secretary's sigma ture and approval. Exporters con- plain of this inconvenience.
 And so forth and so on. Poor Hart ford. It is no longer an important rail- road center. The fast horses no longer seek and stir it. It is to be hoped that it will manage to hold on to bicycle store or two. There ought to be some thing moving in the place.

One is a contagious catarrh, called also morve, or fowl glan- ders, which is very contagious and fa- tai to hens and may give diphtheria to human beings. The other, though call ed fowl diphtheria, has nothing save the name in common with human diph- theria.

Says a revenue agent. There is a great popular misunderstanding about moonshine whiskey. It is nothing but raw highwine-the crudest kind of whiskey-and most of it is made right in the big cities. You take barrel of molasses, some yeast and still, such as many people use for distilling water or even less than that, you can let the vapor pass through a glass pipe cover ed with cold water, and you can make all the moonshine you want The for eigners in New York city make thou sands of gallons of it for private use in this way. All whiskey is white as water when first made. If kept in glass it remains white for years, as you see in the case of Irish and Scotch whis- key. Put into wood it will in time darken, owing to the rotting of the oils
 Moonshine is usually white because not kept long enough to darken, or if kept, being usually stored in bottles or jugs

A delicate point in the duello code has been raised in Paris. M. Leon Daudet, son of Alphonse Daudet, re- gently wrote an article in fulsone praise of Prince Henri of Orleans in Le Figaro, whereupon L'Echo de Paris printed caricature representing M. Daudet licking the Princes boots. He sent challenge to the editor, who had been his friend, which was declined on the ground that the artist was respon- sible for the picture and was ready to fight. M. Daudet refused to call out the artist, saying that it was not the picture that had offended him, but the breach of friendship on the editors part in allowing it to be used. He threatens to box the offenders ears, while the editor says that if he tries it he will use a revolver at once.

showed he recognized his sire, even under

The Dutchman takes the most undis
