The best Whiskey for druggist
ap13-tabl

The best Whiskey for a druggist
to buy is brand that he can sell.
The best Whiskey that an individ-
ual can buy is an article of known
reputation and one that has a good
name at home.
There isn't brand of Whiskey
sold anywhere that stands any higher
in the opinion of the medical profes-
sion than does the G.. O. TAYLOR Old
Bourbon and Pure Rye, bottled by
Chester H. Graves & Sons, in Bos-
ton, Mass. 1t is sold by all drug
gists and dealers in stimulants. and
whoever sells it may WARRANT it
pure. and whoever buys it may use
it in full faith that it is pure.
Notwithstanding statements bv
competitors to the contrary, we have
the original Taylor and never make
statements without having facts to
prove claims.
May, 1873, we originally bottled
g. 0. Taylor Whiskies. ANY job
bing drug firm in New England will
tell you that our statement is correct.
They have all been our patrons since
we first offered it for sale.

ANGLING FOR PERCH.
Fishermen Brave the Weather and
Make Good Catches.

Many fishermen who had anticipated a
fine days sport yesterday in angling for
perch were sorely disappointed on account
Of the weather, although some of them
braved the storm and had unusually good
luck for a stormy day, many big white
perch being landed. Most of the larger
fish were caught in the deep water either
In the Georgetown channel or above the
AQueduct bridge.
In the vicinity of the Chain bridge many
small fish and q few large ones were
caught. There will be no more bass fish
ing until June, as the laws of both Mary
land and Virginia prohibit the catching of
bass after the 10Th of this month. The law
in the District closes the season two weeks
earlier, and, as heretofore published the
possession of bass during the closed season
is contrary to law.
1t is the intention of the deputy game
wardenS to pay particular attention to this
law during the closed season, and a watch
was put on the fishermen on the river yes
terday.

GEORGETOWN's HARD WEEK.
Games Scheduled With Three Crack
College Teams.

Georgetown's crack team will play three
of it's most important games this week
those with the University of Pennsylvania,
Wednesday; Harvard, Thursday, and the
University of Virginia Saturday.
The game with Maryland Agricultural
College Saturday was. of course, no meas
ure of Georgetown's ability, but the double
defeats Of Yale and Princeton and the even
break with Washington show what can be
done against strong teams. The practice
for the past few days has been very en-
couraging indeed. The dntfielders have de
yeloped remarkable sprinting ability, ana
are pulling down long hits in a manner that
discourages all attempts at three pagSerS.
In the infield, which is getting both raster
and surer Moran and Hafford are showing
up remarkably we'll, the throwing OF the
latter especially being of championship
quality OHara, who showed such battlns
ability in the game with the Senators, Is
hitting strongly, and Downes, who got d
couple of home runs earlier in the sea-
son, is landing on the ball with encouraging
force and frequency. Bach. White and
Kenna of the pitching staff, are keeping IN
FORM and that Georgetown is strong m the
box is simply proven by their past perform
ances.
Coach King has been given particular at
tention to the new Balk rule, and mas MADE
the team thoroughly acquainted with 1t, SO
that there will be no walking between bases
on account of this innovation.

WILL BE CALLED COLUMBIA.
The Name Selected by Commodore
Morgan for the New Cup Defender.

Morgan for the New Cup Defender.
1.-The new defender of the Americas cup
will be christened Columbia when she glides
from her cradle in the Herreshoff shops,
about June IT, says the New York Sun.
Ever since Commodore Morgan decided to
build new boat to meet the Shamrock
there has been more or less speculation as
to the title to be borne by the yacht. and
it was not until after mature consideration
that Columbia was decided upon.
'The selection proves that the commodore
prefers a title that is more representative
of the United States than any flower could
suggest The name Columbia Is one that
cannot fail to please the most captious as
well as the most patriotic. and 1t is safe to
predict that every American, whether he
be interested in the sport of yachting or
not. hopes that on those October days, when
the Shamrock and the new defender of the
famous old cup race of Sandy Hook. the

Columbia will rule the waves and preserve
the trophy this side of the Atlantic for

THAT the new craft will be the fastest

American shipyard Is acknowledged by all,
but the Shamrock is still an unknown guam
tity. Her designer has made a reputation
for himself second to no one in the 40-foot
classes. Sir Thomas boat will be the most
speedy craft that has ever crossed the At
lantic in search of the cup,"

Authors in Chinn.

Authors in China have lovely time When the editor rejects a contribution he does not return 1t together with a cruelty polite little printed slip which states that "1t is not because of any fault with the MS, but because of the present large supply on hand of matter of the same description" the article is returned. No; this is the kind of let- ter the Chinese editor writes:
 sIllustrious Brother of the Sun and Hooni Behold thy servant at thy feet who kisses the earth before thee and asks thy gracious permission to speak and live. We have read thy manu- 9eript with delight By the bones of our ancestors we swear that we have never found such manuscript! If we should print it, his majesty, the en- peror, would command us to adopt it IS a standard and never again print anything not equal to it. As that would not be possible within 10000 years, we return thy manuscript, trem- bling and imploring thy pardon 10000 9imes. My head is at thy feet and am the slave of thy slave"
 Courtesy could hardly be carried fur lher, and whenever they decline an ar tcle the Chinese newspapers must make friend of the author.

The Graphic is several hours late today (Sunday), caused by the burn- ing out of fuse which operates the electric lights in the office. The fuse burned out about g o'clock Sat urday night, but the lineman for the W ater and Light Company refused
 to repair the fuse just because "he didn't want to-" As result the Graphic had to delay going to press on that account. After having been
 refused by the lineman, whose sole duty is to attend to such mishaps, we notified the higher officials, but they also refused to take any action in the matter. This only demon strates how accommodating the Water and Light company IS, and their appreciation of their patrons.

IN JAIL FOR DEBT.
8 Debtors Prison Where Tmmorality
 Reigned Supreme.

Reigned Supreme.
 The Kings Bench was the largest of all the debtors prisons. It formerly stood on the east side of the High street, on the site of what is now the second street north of St. Georges Church, London. This prison was taken down In 175s, and the debtors were removed to a larger and much more commodious place on the other side of the street south of Lant street. the site is now marked by a number Of new and very ugly houses and mean streets. In the year 1776 the prisoners had to lie two in bed, and even for those who could pay there were not beds enough, and many slept on the floor of the chapel. There were 395 prisoners; in addition to the prisoners many of them had wives and children with them. There were 279 wives and 275 ehildren-a total of 1899 sleeping every night in the prison. There was good water supply, but there was no inhrmary, no resident surgeon. and no bath. Imagine place containing 1899 persons, and no bath and no infrmary! Among these prisoners, about a hum dred years ago, was a certain Colonel George Hanger, who has left his Me moirs" behind him for the edifcation of posterity. According to him the prison "rivaled the purlieus of Wap- ping, St. Giles. and St. James in vice. debauchery, and drunkenness. The general immortality was so great that it vas only possible, he says, to escape eontagion by living separate, or by consorting only with the few gentle men of honor who might be found there. otherwise a man will quickly sink into dissipation: he will lose every sense of honor and dignity, every moral principal and Yirtuous disposition"
