The Whiskey Barrel.

a whiskcy barrel Of the highest
grade costs from $3.50 20 81. 10, aud it
Is the most expensive Of all barrels.
1t is made of heavy, selected, kiln
dried oak, free from the sap-a hand
some and substantial package. Such
barrels are made in great coopcrages
III the West, in the neighborh0od Of
the distillcries. and in proximity,
when possible. to the forests from
which the materials for them are
taken. Whiskcy barrels Of the best
grade used to cost from 81 to 50. Ma
chincry has been brought more and
more into use in making them, with
the result that they are now cheaper
than eve before.
These barrels are likely to bc filled
with whiskcy and stored for three
years or more before they are shipped.
When a barrel has found its way TO
this market and into the hands of the
final distributor and has been cmpticd,
it is bought by Il dealer in barrels.
There are coopcrs and dealers in new
aud secondhand barrels, who buy
all the barrels they offer, and send
out and gather up barrels, which they
buy and sell in great numbers.
Bought in this manner the whiskey
barrel is inspected and put in order, if
1T requires any repair, and sold, it may
be, to a wholesale dealer in liquors, to
be used Tor blended liquors; but it is
much more likcl~ not again to be used
as Il liquor pack. c. but to be sold for
Il vinegar or cider barrel. In this use
it is not likely to get as far away from
New York as the point whence it origi-
nally came. and when it gets back
here and has been again emptied it is
sold again to the dealer. In the
course of it's use and travels it may
come to need repairs, a new stave or
two, or new hoops. 1t is put in order
and sold again.
When it has ceased to be useful as a
vinegar Or cider barrel, gradually
wearing out and becoming cheaper, it
is sold as Il pickle barrel or For sauer
kraut. and finally it is likely to be-
como Il tar barrel, and after that it is
broken up and destroyed.
Not counting the time that it may
spend in storage before its first Ship
mcnt, the whiskey barrel is likely to
last through the various stages of It's
existence, from the time it starts out
until the end, two or three years.
though much depends upon the caro-
taken Of it.; carefully handled, it may
last ten years or mere. The whiskey
barrel holds forty-Gyc gallons.
There's a cheaper whiskcy barrel,
also made of oak. but Of lighter ma
terials, that costs from $3.50 to 50,
which is used largely by Eastern dis
t%illers. Great numbers Of the heavy
barrels are used, larger numbers still
of the lighter barrels, which, like the
heavy barrels, are made in ~cooperages
in the neighborhood Of the d~istilleriea
in which they are first used, of ma
terials drawn from the forests of the
region in which they are situated, or
shocks brought from the West. The
life Of the lighter barrel ie about the
same as that Of the heavier barrel,
and it is put to the same uses. Of the
lighter barrels, however, thousands,
after the first emptying, arc sold to go
to Scotland.-Mew York SIN.

throughout the year. Complaints have
frequently been made to the Board, dur
ing the past year, concerning illegal
practitioners Of medicine, which in
every instance have been promptly in
vestigated, and when we'll founded the
law has been sustained. A number of
fraudulent practitioners have been COM
PEELED to leave the State. The law
makes it mandatory upon District At

duly brought to their attention. Were
local medical societies to furnish,
through committees, the District Attor-
neys as well as this Board with per-
sonal knowledge of the specific acts of
legal infraction, the provisions of the
law could be more promptly executed
against illegal practitioners.
This, then, gives hasty review of the
work of the State Board of Examiners,

congratulation upon the good service
rendered to the State and her people.

twenty great grand children. Most of

DIG THE DITCH
President Mckinley Will Vigor-
ously Urge Construction Of
Nicaragua Canal.
Our New Possessions East and
West Make the Work Al
most Imperative.
Morgan Bill, in Essential Feat
ures, Has the Administration
Endorsement.
Huntington and Panama Canal
Interests Will Make a Strong
Fight.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-A special from
Washington says: In President McKin-
ley's message to congress will be very
strong and urgent appeal for immediate
legislative action for the construction of
the Nicaraguan canal under government
direction. The president will point out
that our new connections in the Pacific
and in the West Indies make it impera-
tive for the United States to build and
control the great international water
way, and that delay beyond the present
congress in authorizing its construction
will jeopardize the chances for Ameri-
can control in the future.
President Mckinley fully appreciates
the difficulties in the way of securing
prompt action, but he and other canal
advocates also appreciate that failure
this year may mean permanent failure.
Hence preparations are going forward
for one of the most bitter fights ever
waged in the interests of the canal.
Morgan Bill Satisfactory.
The action of the Nicaraguan govern
ment in grantig new concession for
construction of the canal conditionally
upon the forfeiture of the contract with
the maritime canal company in October
next has added new complications to
the difficulties in the way of legislation.
The authorities consider that it adds
another element of opposition to prompt
action On the pending Morgan bill,
which contemplates the construction of
the canal under government direction
on the basis Of the concession granted to
the Maritime Canal company. The
Morgan bill, in all of its essential fea-
lures, is understood to have the endorse
ment of the administration.
1t is supposed that the new company
will be inimical to the Maritime COM
pany. 1t is assumed that if it does not
succeed in selling out to the concession
aires, it will exert its influence to pre-
vent action by congress this winter in
order that its own contract may go into
effect next October.
Besides opposition from this new COM
pany, friends of the Morgan bill will
have the powerful Huntington and Pan
anna canal interests arrayed against
them. Friends Of the latter party are
already in Washington, preparing for a
campaign against the Nicaraguan canal.
j. L. Morgon is to be factor in the
coming legislative war. 1t is stated
that while in Nicaragua last winter, he
made an arrangement with President
Zelaya to look after the interests of Mic
aragua in this country.

ROOF COLLAPSED.

At Least Six Men Killed by the Fall of a
Detroit Theater.
DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 7.-Fhe roof Of
the new Wonderland theater collapsed
at 1 :35 p. m, carrying down the iron
galleries of the structure and a great
mass of scaffolding and debris. Some
IS men were working under the col
lapsed parts of the structure. Scarcely
any of these seem to have escaped in
jury. The bodies of six dead men have
already been recovered. Several others
are fatally injured. The side wall of the
4-story structure is bullying threaten
ingly, and the front of the build
ing, although still upright, is considered
dangerous. The hospital ambulances
are busy carrying away the dead, and
the wrecked theatre is surrounded by a
great crowd of people. The theatre was
to have been occupied by J. Ell. Moore's
Wonderland. The new building is
owned by the Barbour estate. 1t is sit
uated on Monroe avenue, adjoining the
new Detroit opera house, and opposite
the city hall.
