CANS TO HOLD SPIRITS.
New Revenue Regulation Is Expected
to Aid American Distillers.

Washington. March 22.-The govern
ment has at last authorized the use of
tin cans for holding distilled spirits
Under an act recently approved by the
president, it is now lawful to put alco-
hol into wooden packages each con-
tanning two or more metallic cans
having capacity of not less than five
gallons, wine measure
Since the original enactment of our
revenue laws a prospect for large
trade in American alcohols has arisen
in China and Japan. but the casks and
packages required by our revenue laws
We're entirely unsuited to the trade
there.
1t is believed that the new method of
packing will greatly benefit American
distillers by enabling them to meet the
condition of trade in original countries
on an equal footing with European
competitors.
The commissioner of internal revenue
has issued regulations governing the
new method of packing alcohol,in which
he states that the packages will be con-
Sidered in all respects the distillers' or
igina1 packages and must bear serial
numbers and must be gagged, marked,
stamped and branded just as an ordi-
nary package.

Walter Vrooman Summons Colonel
johnson to England.

St. Louis, March 22.-Colonel Richard
M. Johnson, assistant prosecuting at
torney, received notice yesterday to ap-
pear in Oxford, England, on June 20 next
at the taking of dispositions in a case in
which Walter Vrooman, formerly of ST.
Louis, is suing him for $25, 900. When
the colonel had read the letter he peer
ed into the distance and heaved an aud
ible sigh. ITO Oxford" he repeated sew
eral times, and then he whistled as he
arose and walked into his rear office
ITO England; that will COST and
then he returned to his work as if the
thought of it were unpleasant.
Col. Johnson averred that he intend
ed sending a representative to oxford
to make cross-examination. He said
that it was likely his brother, John D.
Johnson, would go. Vrooman is suing
Col. johnson because the latter issued
a warrant against him charging petit
larceny for carrying away two election
booths.

DEPEW'S NEW HOME.
The Senator Takes the Old Freling-
huYsen Residence.

Washington, March Ex-senator De-
pew has rented for his residence while
in the capital the house at 1851 I street.
During the Arthur administration It
was the home of Secretary of State
Frelinghuysen. Following that came
the Whitney occupation, marked by a
splendor of entertaining Washington
society never before witnessed nor has
st since seen anything to equal it,
Shortly after Mr.. Whitney was made
secretary of the navy he purchased the
property from the Frelinghuysens for
SAC, 900 and Immediately had the interior
entirely done over, building in addition
the magnificent gold-1eafed ceilInged
ballroom that will doubtless figure con-
spicuously again in the Depew regime.
1t was a good investment, for at the
outset of the Harrison administration
he sold the I street mansion to John
Wanamaker for 800, 900.

FEEDING IN TRANSIT.
Western Roads Decide to Abolis b
Although Stockmen Protest.

Omaha, Neb., March 22.-The western
the feeding in transit rates which have
been granted to stock men for the past
several years. The date has not been
definitely decided, though it will prob
ably be May 20. The Kansas roads can
not change the rate much sooner than
that, as the state law requires sixty
days notice of such change. 1t is the
expressed opinion that all roads will
make the change at the same date to
avoid confusion.
The StOckmen in the western range
country have made a vigorous but in
effectual fight to retain the rate, as it
has been of immense benefit to them.
The reason given by the railroads is
that the privilege has been abused by
stockmen selling the cattle and bill of
lading after they have been unloaded
and placed in the feed yards and also
that the corn consumed depriVes the
roads of just that much freight

York, Neb., March 22.-Dr. F. S. Nor

rier pigeons to carry messages from his
patients. the object being to save him
long rides.
When he has patrons i'll in widely
separated localities he finds it difficult
to call on all of them in one day. I'm
der such circumstances he leaves with
the family of each invalid two or three
carrier pigeons, to be released daily
with a message as to the patients con-
dition. These pigeons reach home in a
few minutes, and much time is saved.
The doctor at first used but pair of
the birds, but of late he has found them
of such great use that he has purchased
a dozen. He is receiving a large num-
Der of communications from physicians
asking as to the details of his plan.

to take a mattress by force to use as a

Those who are clamoring for the
reinactment of the of the old agree
ment made last winter, know that
itmeans further delay in the settle
ment of tribal complications, and
an indefinite postponement of
allotment. 1t would certainly be a
rank piece of folly to again send
the agreement to Congress in it's
present form. A few amendments
of the right sort would perhaps Sc
cure its ratification, but as it now
stands it would and should be dis
carded, both at Washington and
the Cherokees themselves.
