Mr. Frank Madigan. representing the Ma
tional Capital Brewing Company, speaking
to a Star reporter today, said he felt GER
tain that the act of 1861 had been repealed
by that Of 1893. When the act of 1893 was
pending before the committees Of Congress
the whole question of the liquor traffic was
discussed, and the law says to whom the
dealers shall and shall not sell. In framing
the act, he says Congress took cognizance
of the law prohibiting the sale of liquor in
the mile limit and put in repeating
clause. He says he thinks that If Congress
intended to hold the law of 1861 intact they
would have said so, as they did in case of
the mile limit law. In conclusion he said
he is ready to defend any dealer against
whom complaint is made.

A REMARKABLE CASE.

The following case was printed originally
In The Monitor, a newspaper published Mt
MeAdford, Ontario. Doubts were raised rs
to its truthfulness, consequently a close
watch was kept on the case for two years
and the original statement has now been
completely verified.
Mr.. Petch had been hopeless paralytic
for five years. His case has had wide at
tention. He was confined to his bed, was
bloated almost beyond recognition, and
could not take solid food. Doctors called
the disease spinal sclerosis, and all said he
could not live. The Canadian Mutual Life
Association, after thorough examination,
paid him his total disability claim of 81 $50,
regarding him as forever incurable.

most economical expenditure demand
ed In the output Of total supply daily
OF at least 10000 gallons OF thoroughly
palatable drinking water.
The operation is simple. Each Of the
evaporators consists of a cylindrical
steel boiler containing coil of piping
surrounded by cold sea water. The
steam is supplied to the first coil d.
rectly from the ships boilers. That
steam raises the sea water to the boil
ing point and gradually evaporates 1t
in that way. The steam thus generated
in conjunction with such Of the origin
al steam not condensed in the first coll
in the operation, passes into the coll
Of the second evaporation, repeating the
operation in connection with the sea
water there, and finally merging with
the steam raised from the salt water in
the third evaporation and passing to-
gether into the condenser. The con-
densation from the first two coils is
caught by traps and carried off to the
tanks. In this way the latent heat
from the first steam from the boiler is
economically absorbed by the three
stages of salt water, and higher per-
centage of performance is attained than
is possible in a single-element evapor-
ator. After condensation the water is
carefully aerated and the result is
thoroughly palatable water devoid of
that fiatness generally characteristic Of
condensed sea water.
A sediment of salt-the residue OF the
ocean brine-gradually forms upon the
coils Of the distillers, and these evap-
orators are so arranged that this scale
can be readily removed. On the other
ships their distillers will be worked as
far as possible only to the extent Of

The Distiller Ship.
The distiller ship, now named the
Iris, was the British steamer Menem-
sha. Unlike the Vulcan, the Iris will
make no repairs, but will be devoted
solely to converting the oceans brine
into drinking water; and to this end,
she will carry a very large supply Of
coal and will have four up-to-date dis
tillers of considerable capacity. These
distillers or evaporators will each con-
sist of three elements like the modern
triple expansion engine, and are in

consumed by the boilers, that the use OF
salt water must be obviated and the
formation of a troublesome scale Of

The hygienic value OF sufficient fresh
water can not be overestimated when
the rigors OF warfare are aggravated
