TAX PUT ON COCKTAILS.
When Bottled for Sale, Rectifier's
License Must Be Had.

Washington, March 3O.-Hereafter
saloon-keepers who keep bottles of
cocktails on their shelves for sale to
travellers and others will be obliged to
pay a rectifier's license of 500 a year
The basis for this decision of the COM
missioner of internal revenue was a
complaint made against local confec-
toner, who had been making cocktails
and furnishing them to clubs in bot
ties.
The confectioner appealed to Com
sioner Forman who has sustained the
complaint and directed the confectioner
to take out a rectifiers license.
At the treasury department it is
learned that the ruling will not apply
to cocktails manufactured in the pres
ence of the purchaser and put up in
bottles to be drunk elseWehe.

PLATT BUYS A HOME.
The New York Senator Purchases a
Country Seat

New York, March 30.-It was rumor-
ed at New Rochelle yesterday that Sem
ator PIatt had purchased the F. r.
HOughton country seat, but the pur-
sideration was said to be about 100000.
The residence is modelled after the
French chateau style of architecture,
and contains costly decorations 1t is
surrounded by extensive grounds and
is an ideal country home.
1t is known that for several years
Senator Plat has been looking for
country home which would take him
away from the crowds of politicians
that beset him at Manhattan Beach,
where he has passed the summer
months for the last ten years. But he
wanted place near enough to town to
be of easy access to those Heutenants
who seek his advice and attend his
weekly conferences.

Dun & Co.'S New York Building
Onens Many Graves

New York, March 3O.-The great new
office building being put up at 292-294
Broadway by the r. G. Dun company
has disturbed a graveyard over 100
years old. Fully so skulls have been
taken from the great excavation, and
humor, have decorated the scantling
and ross-pieces with the grinning rel
les.
No one living near the place remem-
bered of a graveyard being there. but
some historian has just arisen who
says it was a potter's field of fully a
century ago. The disposition of the
skulls around the new building is an
unexpected and shocking sight to pas
sers-by.
