Process for Aging Whisky.

It is claimed that by new process
the artificial aging for whisky can be
accomplished in few hours. In
principle the new process is revival
of the ancient practice on West Indian
sugar estates of "mellowing" for the
immediate consumption the can-juice
rum that had not long left the still.
A puncheon of this new spirit was
placed on raised platform. Twenty
yards away was an empty puncheOn,
placed at lower level. Stretched
from the cock at the top puncheon to a
hole in the head of the lower cask was
line of open pipe. made by splitting
bamboos in two ard cutting out the
joints. This concave gutter was care
fully exposed to fire and charred along
its whole length. 1t was then ready
for service. The spirit from the up
per cask was allowed to drip down
slowly, and as the stream was exposed
i'm it's passage to influence of both the
atmosphere aud the charcoal, by the
time it reached the lower cask it's
harshness was considerably tempered.
The new process consists in exposing
the maximum surface of spirit and air
to each other by means of spray and
under the influence of a temperature at
freezing point. The air aud spirit only
come into contact once, and the low
temperature condenses the spirit and
prevents it's losing aroma or flavor.
The time of working is from four to
five hours, according to the size of the
plant and the quantity of spirit to be
treated

after the soupe, and glided about the
dining room. So 1t went on until the
coffee was reached.
The cake walk, which began about
IL O'Clock, was the great event of the
evening.
Mr.. Vanderbilt led in magnificent
style, introducing many new steps and
graceful slides that brought applause
from thu other guests. Some of those
whoiwalked, carried candles, and 9TH
ers had brooms and carpet sweepers.
Near the end of the walk, young
woman joined the line and before her
she push ed big baby carriage. And
in the carriage reclined a young man
well known to the ''400.'
All admitted that Vanderbilt was the

A report OF the house committee on
war claims, made just before the holt
day recess, revives an int resting story,
says the Washington CORE spondent of
the New York Tribune. Pardon
Worsley was employed by General
Augur in 1868 as spy in Virgins.
His duties were to procure inform atiou
of the movements of Colonel Mosby.
He usually entered the confederate
lines with horse and wagon, passing
himself OF as a peddler. He was thus
enable to obtain valuable Information,
which he conveyed to General Augur.
On one occasion he discovered a COM
bination of people in Washington and
Baltimore engaged in supplying the
enemy and carrying on an extensive
contrsband trade. On Worsley's in
formation these people were brought
to trial. One Of the accused men was
Moses Weisenfeld, and before his trial
swear falsely or to leave the county.
On cousultation with General Augu-,
General Gaines and Colonel Foster,
Worsley accepted the bride, AMI pro-
duced it at the trial as additional ev-
idence of crimipality. The money was
attached to the record, forwarded to
the war office in Worsley's absence,
and finally deposited in the treasury
by Judge Advocate Turner, by dirac-
ton of the secretary of war. Mr..
Worsley believes he IS entitled to COM
pensa ton for the services he rendered,
and has asked congress to pay him.
The committee on war claims believes
that he is ent tied to some reward, and
has recommended an appropriation of
$4,000 for him.

A Vanderbilt Traffic Alliance.

Leading directors of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad con-
firm the rumor that a new traffic
agreement is about to be signed by
railroads reaching from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. The principal lines in
the combination are the New Haven
road, the New York Central, the Lake
Shore and the Union Pacific. The
Northern Pacific is said to be friendly
to the deal. The Vapderbits are said
to head the concern, and the combina-
ton. if perfected, will give the Van
darbilt lines practically q monopoly of
the railroad traffic of the continent at
their own carrying prices. The al
lance will. it is said. be simply
one for offensive ard defensive pur-
poses.
The boom in the price of stock of the
New York Central and the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroads is
thought to be an Indication that the
deal is going through successfully.

ANTIBREAKFAST CRUSADE.
Under McKinleys Administration the
Worker Gets Three Meals q Dax.

NoIhcI OctS 1hIcc Iuc1l0 u lay
According to the Chicago Times Her
aid a "down east doctor has started
an antibreakfast crusade and is trying
to induce working people to get along
without a morning meal. Had the sug-
gestion come little earlier we might
have supposed that this was some new
free trade scheme for convincing the
American people that they were better
off under the workshop shutting, wage
reducing Wilson German law than they
were under the Mckinley law, which
gave protection to American industries
and work to American workingmen.
The free traders would undoubted-
ly have hailed the "no breakfast
scheme as another proof of the inherent
virtue of free trade ON the ground that
free trade would compel people to adopt
the healthful habit of going without
breakfast by depriving them of the
means with which to provide q morning
meal.
Perhaps this s'no breakfast" doctor is
a free trader who has been taking Rip
Van Wrinkle sleep and has not yet found
out that the foreigners friend is no
more, but that we are now living under
a law which looks out for American in
terests, and that, thanks to that law,
factories are opening everywhere to
give work and wages to the American
people. This means money enough to
buy three square meals day. There is
no danger of American workingmen be-
ing compelled to go without breakfast,
and, unless they are compelled to go
without it, they won't do it. This doc
tors prescription comes too late to be
generally followed. He may find mar
ket for it during our next congressional
campaign under the auspices of the
New York Reform club OF of the Bos-
ton Free Trade club Meantime he
should board with Professor Edward
Atkinson, who recommends wage earn
ers not to spend more than dollar a
week for their meals

England and China.

An undercurrent of apprehension as

parallel in III, when France ard Spain

Prussia. At that date the optimiss il
lusions of our rulers refused to believe
that SCain would be our enemy. Jea'-

eddy based on a craving for terrestrial
expansion and the satisfs ction of colo

that he believes in he discovery of
