CORN AND CHEMICALS.
Said to Have SuppIanted Barley and
Malt In Beer-Making.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. GA dispatch from
Milwaukee says: The tremendous drop
in the barley malt product has stirred
up the masters and they evince a dis
position to make some interesting dis
closures. They freely declare that in
many brewerie5 a barrel of beer Is being
made with the use of but half a bushel
of barley malt, while the German stan
dard 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 tre-
mendous drop in the barley malt product
but wondered why o had not been
said in public print with reference to
to the matter. Continuing, he said:
1--WE do not now, nor have we ever, used
corn in the production of any of our
beers, and we have always commended
that first class beer caunot be made by
using corr as a substitute for barley
malt.

1t was at the opening of a big brewery
one day lately, says the Washington
Post. The young woman in the seal
skin cape had the air of one Summing.
The young man wore his Bible-class
manner. They glanced about with
slightly disappearing interest.
Pm so glad to have seen it," said
the young lady in the sealskin cape. at
seems wrong to think of so much
money being wasted in manufacturing
beer"
at is wicked" said the young man,
firmly. There must be a great deal
of beer consumed in Washington"
just then n round and more han rosy
nan with q derby hat awry and "a large
diamond in his shirt front, came up TO
the two.
why, why!" he said. as he grasped
the young mans hand enthusiastically,

Have you and your lady friend had
something to drink"
The young woman s~huddered. The
young man shook his head.
well, you'd better get something"
went On that affable person. Say, it's
good stuff. Why haven't you been into
my place lately? Got it fixed up fine.
Best beer in town. Say, come round
agnin; I've missed you"
The young woman in the senlskin
cape walked toward the door. The
young man snealSed after her. She
spoke no word, but there was that in
her name which chilled the marrow
In his bones.

BIG A~LLIGATORs.
Some Odd Tales Told by an Old Florida
Hotel Register.

Hotel Register.
At the end of a chapter on alligators,
in his book "Hunting and Fishing in
Florida" Nj. Charles B. Cory, curator
of the department of ORTHODOXY in the
Field Columbian museum, Chicago,
gives an entry which he once saw in
the register OF the Brock house.
In the old days, when transportation
was nor difficult than il is at present,
tina Brock house wa about the end of
civilization, and was a "a hours trip
by boat from Jacksonville. 1t was at
that time q great resort for sportsmen,
who we're attracted there by the fish
ing and shooting to be had in the vi
cinity.
The old register. which extended
back q great many years, contained
some queer records, many of them of
doubtful veracity. Among others,
some one had written:
March 10, 1872, killed a large alli-
gator, the largest seen here this year;
the stomach contained q boot, a piece
of pine wood, a fisherman's float, and
some small fish"
Immediately beneath this record was
another, evidently added by some wag:
"March "a, killed a much bigger alli-
gator than the one mentioned above.
The stomach contained a gold watch,
$4,000 in government bonds, and n
cord of wood"
On the next page, written in a neat.
~unobtrusive style, was inscribed the
following: Shot the biggest alligator
ever known in Florida; the stomach
contained the remains of a steam
launch, a lot of old railway iron, and a
quantity of melted ice, proving that IT
existed during the Rlacial epoch"

A GREAT HUNTING OUTFIT.
The Extensive Rctinuc OF the Khan OF
Tartary.

n Extensive RctinuU of the Khan of
Tartary. .
1'he emperor hath two barons who
are w brothers, one called Baian,
and the other Mingan; and these are
styled Chinuchi Cor Cunichi), which is
rs much as to say: The Keepers of the
Mastiff Dogs" Each of these brothers
hath 10000 men under his orders; each
body Of 10000 being dressed alike, the
one in red and the other in blue, and
whenever they accompany the khan to
the chase, they wear their livery, in
order to be recognized. Out of each
body of 10000 there are 1000 men who
are each in charge of one or more
great mastiffs, SO that the whole num-
Der of these is very large. And when
the prince goes a-hunting one of those
barons, with his 10000 men and ONE
thing like 5000 dogs, goes towards the
right, whilst the other goes towards
the left with his party in like manner.
They move along, all abreast of
another, so that the whole line extends
over n full days journey, and no an
imal car escape them. Truly it is n
glorious sight to see the working of the
dogs and the huntsmen on such an oc-
casioni And as the han rides a-fowl-
ing across the plains you will see these
big hounds coming tearing up, N
pack after u bear, another pack after q
stag, or some other beast, as il may hap.
and running the game down, now on
this side, now on that, so that 1t Is
really a most delightful sport and
spectacle.
The two brothers 1 have mentioned,
writes Noah Brooks in st. Nicholas,
are bound by the tenure of their Office
TO supply the khan court from Octo-
ber to the end of March with 1000
head of game daily, whether of beasts
Or birds. and not counting quails; and
also with fish to the best of their abil-
ity, allowing fish enough for three
persons to reckon as equal TO one head
of game.

A ,JaiI-Rreaklng Fiasco.

Kansas City Times.
A fine exhibition of jail-breaking was
prevented at Lexington the other day.
The preparations for the event were
carefully made. The participants had
managed to procure the most efficient
implements known. and were confident
of being able to give the authorities a
run for their money.
In one point, however, the affair was
not properly managed. In their com
mendable desire to make it a great
event the prisoners did a little too
much advertising. To a certain extent
advertising pays even in the most dis
reputable and illegal business, as one
of our fellow-townsmen, who has posi-
lively not been arrested for running
gambling houses, could testify. Car
ried to an extreme, however, advertis-
ing is dangerous to Illicit undertakings,
as the same fellow-townsman, we hope,
will soon be in II position to testify.
The Lexington prisoners, at any rate,
over-did the advertising. Perhaps they
were rendered unduly confident by the
fact that they had successfully man
aged escapes from the Fort Smith Jail
and other places which confine the
decent people outside of the Jail so that
they may not get IN the way of prison
ers with nomadic instincts.
Anyway, the Lexington experts began
their game too MOSTLY, and when they
began to tear great holes in the iron
work, 1t was more than flesh and blood
could stand. The authorities could not
sleep for the racket, and they could not
but look upon the destruction of the
Jail property as malicious and waDton.
They were forced 20 stop it, even
though they broke up the game.
This should be a lesson to the jail
breaking fraternity. They must learn
not to make q great ado over their
escapes with the idea of drawing a
crowd. Neither a they safely disturb
the repose of their ~jailers, o need
lessly mutllate the Jail.
Moreover, they should not choose
Lexington as the location for their
show. The people down there have
not abandoned the old idea that a Jail
was meant to keep prisoners in, as well
as to keep people out. Their officers
are inclined t o the same view. Whether
they are old-fashioned is not the ques-
ton. That is not a good place fol-
criminal undertakings, and those who
want to break into Jail to show what
fun it is to break o again might as
well give Lexington a wide berth.

ALTGELD CHARGES FRAUD.
Declares That Bryan Was Robbed OF
Ohio. Indiana, Kentucky and
California.

CHICAGO, Jan. %. Ex-Governor
Altgeld was tonight given Il compli-
mentary banquet by his friends ut the
fremont house and in the course of his
speech he made wholesale charges OF
fraud at the late election. He said,
among other things:
..In Ohio there are nearly 200 600
more votes counted Ill 1896 than there
were in 1892, which would indicate an
increase of population in that state
during four years of very marty
1000, coo people, whereas IN reality
there has not been an increase OF a
third of a million ia that time. In
other words it Is clear that i'll Ohio
over "a, GOO fraudulent votes were
counted, aud, as the returns show that
Mr.. Mckinley had only "A majority OF
40, 900 in that state, it is certain that
Mr.. Bryan carried Ohio by over 40, OGO.
sin Illinois in 1892 practically every
legal vote was cast, yet in 1896 there
were 243,0 900 more votes counted than
there were in 1892. During the whole
past history of Illinois our population
had not reached 1000, 900; In ten
years, from 1880 to 1890, during which
our growth was greatest, the popula-
ton of the state increased only about
$50, 900; yet according to the late cleo
ton returns the population of this state
increased in four years from 1892 TO
1896, nearly 1900, 900. This shows
the monstrously fraudulent character
of the whole proceeding.
at should be said that notwithstand-
ing these fraudulent votes, Mckinley
did carry Illinois, but only by a small
majority and not by 100000 majority
as reported, but it is certain he did
not carry Ohio or Indiana, or Kentucky
or California, and it is doubtful if he
carried a number of other states cred
tied to him."
