CORN AND CHEMICALS.
said to Have Suppl anted Barley and
Malt in Beer-Making.

St. Louis, January 31.--A despatch
from Milwaukee says: The tremendous
drop in the barley malt product has
stirred up the matters and they evince u
disposition to make some interesting dis
closures. They freely declare that in
r,any breweriss barrel Of beer is being
maze with the use of but a half bushel
of barley malt, while the German
standard for pure beer is three bushels.
The claim is as freely made that corn
and chemicals have practically supplanted
barley in the production of the beverage
of the world.
When the attention of Mr.. Aug. A.
Busch, vice president Of the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing association, was called to
the above article he expressed no surprise
in seeing the dispatch from Milwaukee,
calling attention to the tremendous drop
in the barley malt product, but wondered
why more had not been said in public
nrint with reference to the matter. Con-
tinuiug, he said: "We do not now, nor
have we ever, used corn in the produsSion
of any of our beers. and we have always
contsnded that first class beer cannot be
made by using corn as substitute for
barley malt. .

President Eliot of Harvard and John E.
Russell Make Interesting and Unex-
pected Addresses.
Boston, January 30.-Hon. John f.
Russell and President G. W. Eliot of
Harvard University made interesting,
but quite unexpected, addresses at the
regular monthly meeting and dinner Of
the New England Free Trade league in
the United States hotel this evening
President Henry W. Lamb occupied the
chair and the programme laid out by the
committee in charge included speeches
from Louis d. Brandeis, ESQ.,, the Bos-
ton lawyer who recently had the rather
interesting and much advertised expert
ence before the committee on ways and
cans in Washington, where he appeared
on behalf of the consumers Of the coun-
try, Mr.. Arthur T. Lyman, leading
wooden manufacturer, and Mr.. Samuel
W. Mendum.
Mr.. Brandeis described his recent effort
ways and means and he humorously de-
crited some of the log-rolling methods
employed in securing tariff legislation
and increase in duties.
"Why not put some tax on whiskey, !"
interjected Henry II. Faxon, as Mr..
Brandeis suggested q dollar barrel
duty on beer. ~ think there is n great
deal on whiskey now, a dollar and ten
cents, !" replied MI. Brand.is, and the
company applauded.
President Eliot of Harvard said the
graspine persons who appeared before the
committee OH ways and means were the
legitimate sons Of the tariff 81 stem which
the pratectionists had been teaching
since the war. He said tariffs were en-
acted to build up trusts and enable them
to increase prices. He showed that the
prics of wool had declined relatively with
the price of other things and paid his re-
snects to the senior Senator from Massa-
ohusetts, who said that leading French
himetallist had told h1m-and he seemed
TO agree with him-that the decline in
the price of agricultural products was
due largely to the characterization of sill
yer. While our western farmers are
suffering poverty from low prices, the
present craftsmanship propose to increase
their tax. Ihe speaker paid tribute to
Mr.. Olney, saying he was one of the
greatest men the country had ever pro-
duced

HOPE AT THE HyPE-
 RI0N.

Mir. Anthony Hope HAWKINS, the author of "The Dolly Dialogues" and
 '"rhe Prisoner of Zenda" and other
 notable literary successes, gave read
 ing from his works at the Hyperion theater last evening before @ lamenta- | bly, select and scattered audience. The distinguished writer was appreciated in this eminently literary and cultured community by an assemblage consisting of about twenty-one devout pilgrims in | the gallery and perhaps twice that number on the orchestra floor. Even | the press seats were not occupied, which fact alone ought to be enough to shatter | the authors reputation. The usual ex- | planation Is sufficient. The town was | New Haven and--it rained. And l these trifiing sarcasms. which will
 undoubtedly operate with immedi-
 ate effect upon the sensibilities of
 the unappreciative and indiscrimnating
 ninety -and-nlne are not offered because
 MT. Anthony Hope Hawkins is such an
 overwhelmingly great man. It is be- | cause the case would have been iden-
 tical had it been the angel Gabriel him. self
 This is not the moment to discuss
 Mir. Hopes Cor MT. Hawkins) literary
 work. We may permit ourselves to
 wonder, however, what effect this tour
 will have on his future work. Will he 1 be able to retire to his chamber after his return to his native land and forget ] his own personality long enough to
 write another Prisoner of Zenda?" We
 are chiefly concerned now with his abil-
 ities as a reader of his own works. Mir Hope read first a short sketch which
 appeared in one of the magazines about
 'The Philosopher in the Orchard" a se- lection after the general manner or
 'The Dolly Dlalogues"; next the chap 1 ter, ''If Love Were All" from "The
 Prisoner of Zenda"; then four chapters
 from "The Dolly Dialogues" The first
 was not too exciting, nor was the sec
 ond, the ''Zenda" parting scene, both being read as any well-read and cul-
 tured Englishman might read them. But
 the dialogues were wholly delightful. They seemed an expression of the
 authors own temperament and his ex- 1 position of his own wit was very en- l joyable Thus the final impression of
 the writer was pleasant if not profound.
