A Common story.

The old man s wife was dead. He had put
on his Sunday clothes and was walking
around the streets in kind OF eternity.
There was nothing for him to do but ache.
He had pathetic and shamfaced look, the
experience was so out of the ordinary, and
he was afraid his children might detect
the acuteness of his suffering.
The old man was of a Jocose habit BE
had often joked his wife about her spells;
but for her TO lie down and die was carry
ing the joke too far. Ifithad been descent
TO put on his everyday clothes and go to
work, the blow might have been softened.
He could have steadied himself by grasp
ing ordinary Tabor. Cut adrift in every way
he floated about hulk The sudden
majesty of the woman who had been his
init mate companion hurt him worst of ALL

In his Sunday things and with his collar
on, he was not fit TO stand and look at her
rigid repose, and he never again could call
her mother
There was no place for him i Ii the little
house, crowded by relations, and there was
no place for him in the miserable outdoor

Hereafter saloonkeepers and other dis
pensers Of liquid refreshments will not have
the time-honored and popular cocktail rest
ing on their shelves, awaiting purchase and
appropriation by the thirsty customer.
This fact is elected from a recent COM
munication from Internal Revenue COmmis-
sioner Forman to Collector Vandiver, OF
the Maryland district a communication
shat is probably the first step in a stricter
enforcement Of the ruling in question.
This ruling provides that retail liquor
1ealer who, by mixing distilled spirits
with other materials, manufactures COM
pound liquors for sale, under the name Of
cocktails" or rock and ye," OF rock
and gin,'' or any other names, even though
the quantity compounded by him
is less than five gallons at a
time is required to pay a special
tax as a reCtifier, il he puts up these
compounds for sale by the pint OF quart
bottle or large package, and keeps the bot
ties or the packages of the compound on
his shelves, or in stock ready for delivery
to customers
The ruling, however, does not prohibit
the mixing OF cocktails on demand of a
customer, provided the cocktail be i'm
mediately consumed by the purchaser.
Mr. Samuel Gassenheimer, a prominent
liqour dealer, when seen by a Times re-
porter this morning in regard 60 the matter,
said that there was no law TO compel the
securing Of a license for the keeping of
bottled cocktails in store In his opinion,
there were no grounds for the pronulga-
ton Of the ruling in question.
Other liquor dealers were seen by the
reporter with reference TO the ma tier. and
while there appeared diversity Of opin-
ion on the subject. the general sentiment
seemed to be that the ruling worked a
hardship to the liquor dealers.

NEARLY BLIND. But \ THIEF.
Anthony Allen One of the Worst
Rogues i'm south Washington.

Anthony Allen, colored, Notwithstanding
the disadvantage he iabors under from the
faCt that he is deaf, dumb, and blind in
one eye, has established a reputation as
one OF the worst TogueS in South Washing
ton. This morning he was charged with the
second offense of larceny, the theft of a
pair of trousers from Isaac Levy & Sons
store on Four-dnd d-a-half street south west
There was a flaw in the information,
however, and Assistant District Attorney
Mullowny asked thaJthe charge bequashed,
and that the prisoner should be held until
a new information could be made out.
This Judge Kimball was about TO do
when Lawyer Moss, for :he defendant,
interrupted: but that is not according
to law, your honor" he said
well, he stands committed neverthe-
less" said the judge.
But you can't do that" shouted the
attorney, eXctedly.
But / have done it, Mr. Moss" was
the courts smiling reply.

Albany, N. T., April s. Messages from
the mayors of New York and Brooklyn on
the New York charter were received this
morning Mayor Wurster, OF Brooklyn,
approves, but Mayor Strong. Of New York,
disapproves OF the charter
The charter will now have TO be passed
by both houses OF the legislature, over the
mayors veto. 1t is thought this car be
easily done.
Mayor Strong declares in his message
that he was constrained to sign the re-
port, and that there are a number OF good
points about the bill, but he feels compelled
TO withhold his approval and suggest a
number of amendments providing for an
extension OF the mayors power of removal,
a sngle-headed police board, and an indie
pendent bureau OF elections. Upon these
points he dwelt at length.

The morning times., 1897-03-02

Mrs Nancy Jones, OF Jonesbor ough,
Tenn, whose husband was Darling Jones,
a private in one OF the North Carolina
regiments, is the youngest of the Revo-
lnti0nary widows, being now about eighty
three years OF age. The other five are
Nancy Cloud, who is living at Chum, Va
andis the widow of Sergt William Cloud
OF Capt Christians Virginia Line; Esther
S. Damon, OF Plymouth Union, Vt, whose
Massachusetts: Mary Snead living at
Parkesley, Va, a widow ofPrivate Bowdoin
Sncad; Nancy A. Weatherman, who lives
at Elk Mills, Tenn. and whose first hus-
ban nd was Robert Glascock. a fifer in one of
the Virginia reg iments, and Rebecca
Mayo, widow OF a soldier from Virginia
That these women can be the widows of
Revolutionary soldiers is readily under
stood, in view of the fact that their hus-
bands were well on in years when they
married. AS, for example, when Esther
Sumner married Noah Damon in the year
1S35-fifty-two years after the close OF
the war-she was but twenty y-one, while he
was seventy-siX. The last Revolutionary
pensioner who had married prior to the
close OF the war, and had therefore actually
lived during Revolutionary times, was Nancy
Serena, widow of Daniel F Bakeman. She
died about twenty seven years ago, only
a year or two after her husband, who was
the last of the Revolutionary soldiers ON

Evarts, then Secretary Of State, put upon

it appear TO her that the White House din

ington by the committee Of arrangements.
When the cost OF an inauguration, out
side OF the Capital. is estimated, thousands
become millions Of dollars. 1t is ex-
pected that 100000 strangers see
this President inaugurated- This,
at an average OF $50, means that $2,-
900 900 are turned into the Golfers OF the
railroad companies The amount can be
doubled at once, for each visitor spends
on an average at least $50 on the trip and
in Washington. They come from all
points OF the compass, and many thinkthey
get off cheaply IL five times $40 covers
the cost; but, as an average expenditure,
the above is fair estimate. To be added
to this is the cost Of Transporting Ma
tional Guardsmen and regular troops To
Washington; OF feeding and housing them,
and OF taking them home again At the
lowest estimate this means an additional
expense Of $500. 600.
In round numbers, therefore, the rock

put down at S4, ,5OO,O 900 Beginning with
this as a foundation, anyone whois fond
OF surveying vast expenditures as they

The liquid refreshments can be put down
at sum equal to that expended on in
ausuratiOn ball costumes. so that these
items alone swell the total cost OF the in
auguratiOn to something near five millions
of dollars.
After all. this sum, vast though it be, is
little compared with the enormous amounts
expended in connection with the crOWnina

dignity in social life, understood politics,
and was fully able to sustain a conversation
with the most brilliant men of her time.
Remember that conversation was then
considered an accomplishment as much as
we consider music or art one.
Mrs. John Quincy Adams was born and
reared in England OF wealthy and refined
American parents, her father being in some
commercial capacity; and his hospitable
house was the rendezvous of all Americans
Mr. Adams N arriedthis charming woman in
1897, the year following his fathers
election to the Presidency. He had been
the minister TO London and The Hague,
but on the elevation of his father to the
executive office was appointed minister
TO Berlin, which, OF course, raised a great
row among the politicians, who complained
OF nepotism He took his bride to Berlin.
1t was here that her fine manners and tact
made such a favorable impression.
John Quincy Adams had political honors
heaped upon him. As Secretary Of State
during the whole eight years of Monroe's
administration he shone hardly more than
Mrs. Adams, whose social qualifications
Were eminent, her long residence
abroad fitting her for the duties at home
as but few Presidents wives have ever
been. Then, I'm the course of events, it
was John Quincy Adams fortune to be
elected President by the House of Repre-
sentatives, and when that contest was over
all the world felt satisfied with the result,
since SO able a man was chosen, assisted
by 50 graceful and accomplished woman
as Mrs. Louise Katharine Adams.
During President Madison's admins
tration Mr.. Adams had been sent TO the
court of Russia, and it was here that Mrs.
Adams won the prestige OF being the first
American woman ever TO he presented at
that court. During the last Adams admins
tration social events at the White House
We're accompanied by refreshments and
other formalities, since then either dis
penSed with or substituted for other less
onerous and fatiguing to the first lady
of the land.
Mrs. John Quincy Adams was an ac-
compiished linguist, a beautiful woman
personally, and possessed OF much refine
Ihent of manner and carriage; and 1t is
doubtful if a more cultivated lady ever
fulfilled the duties of her high position.
Perhaps this very delicacy and refinement
have been the reason why others with
stronger personality, like her respected
