Sale of Liquor.

Washington Special New York Times: A decision of Justice Brewer has been raked up which may enable druggists to sell some kinds of liquor in communities under the control of the federal government where such practices are supposed to be prohibited. The District of Columbia Pharmaceuz tical Association has been trying ta find out how it can prevent the sale of certain kinds of malt extracts. and has been enlisting the aid of the dis trict government. As a result of the investigation of the legal aspect of the question it has been found that the act of congress regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors contains no def- milton of intoxicating liquors. An opinion given by the district attorney cites an old decision of Justice Brewer holding that the question whether any particular compound is within or with out the law is a question of fact.

fl;Iterate Russian Peasants.

The illiteracy of Russia exceeds that of any other country claiming to have . civilized government. The Humani- tartan states that in 10000 villages of the vast empire there is not school. and it is estimated that not 20 per cent of the population of the empire has acquired even the rudiments of 8 common school education. It has been figured out that if the czar would dis band 10000 men of his immense army he would thereby save money enough to provide a school for each of these villages. It is not surprising that the czar should desire to reach some ar engagements with the other nations which would permit him to partially disarm

A Remarkable Bigamv Case.

A rather remarkable bigamy ease came to light in Southwark recently. A Mrs. Little, wife of railway porter at Portsmouth, went to London and there married a carman named Car ter. She paid visits alternately to her two husbands for some time without discovery, but during one visit MT Little discovered the certificate of the second marriage pinned inside his wife's bonnet, and he communicated with his brother in London, who gave information to the police.

British Tar. Row Against M.,.y..

In the harbor at Port Elizabeth, Cape Colony, the other day. an interesting boat race was held, crew of British bluejaekets being pitted against some Malay fishermen. The five seamen who represented the British navy were se- lected from the crew of the cruiser Doris, the flagship of Admiral Sir Robert H. Harris, one of the smartest admirals of the navy, and now in com mand of the Cape of Good Hope and West Coast of Africa squadron. If the seamen thought they were going to have a walkover they were greatly mistaken. The Malays gave them good race; sometimes the naval men led, and then again the Malays would overtake them. Toward the finish. however, the seamen obtained a tac- tical advantage and managed to win with about dozen lengths to spare.

FIRST POTATOES,
Tomatoes and Chincon Trees Were Raised
 fiji Peru.


 Lima Cor Chicago Record. Peru is the birthplace of the potato which was first used as an article of food by the lncas and exported to Europe by the Spaniards when they took over quinine bark and named it in honor of the countess of Ghincon, whose husband at that time was vicerey. The Indians had used the bark for medicinal pur- poses as long as any one could remem- Der, but this noble lady was the first European to test it's efficacy and it proved So excellent cure for the ma- laria which saturates the atmosphere of Lima that she induced the Jesuit fathers to recommend it to the medi- cos of the old world These wise old chaps sent it to Spain and Italy, and quinine that was eyer administered in Europe was swallowed by the pope. The unregenerate potato. which IS still found in wild state among the noun tains of Peru, is delicate vine, which bears fruit about the size of d plum and as yellow as an orange. Cultiva- tion has increased it's size and im- proved it's flavor. The scientists say that the tomato also originated in Peru. and was known among the Incas as love apple, possessing peculiar qualities that influenced the affections. For centuries after it's discovery the same superstition prevailed in Europe. Peru also claims to be the mother of cotton, but I think Egypt will dispute that fact.

An Ancient Custom Observed.

The ancient custom of presenting a fitch of bacon to each of those mar ried couples who could swear that sin a twelyemonth and a day they had re- pented not in thought any way of their married state was observed, with all the old ceremonial, at the small village of Dunmow, in Essex. England The ceremony was held inside a mar quee erected in a field. There were two couples for trial by the jury of six maidens and six bachelors. The jury returned verdict in favor Of the claimants, who were accordingly awarded, amid cheers, fitch of bacon, gaily decked with ribbons and rosettes. After the trial the couple were ehairsd and carried in processions, and the at- tendant fun and feasting were main tained until late hour.

Surnames in Ireland.

One Of the eurlosities of recent phiIo. logical literature is the appendix to the 1893 report of the British registrar general, which bears the suggestive ti- tie, "SHfnames in Ireland" From that compilation one who has an eye for the curious may glean facts and figures for a most interesting article. For tn- stance it is shown that the most com mon name on the Emerald Isle is Mur- phy, the number of persons, great and small, who bear the eognomen being e2,600. The following come next in or der of frequency: Kelly, 55,90o; sulli- van, 43,600; Walsh, 1,70O; Smith, 370O0; 0'Brien, 8, 400: Byrne. 3. 3.20O: Ryan, 32000; Gonnor. 31,200; o,NeiIi 29.110, and Reilly, 29,000.
 An Embarrassing Situation.
 An embarrassing state of affairs for a number of newly married couples has arisen in Algiers through the suspen-. sion of the deputy mayor. An irregtl~ laritv has been discovered in his ap. pointment, which therefore becomes null and void But directly after he occupied the position he celebrated a number of marriages, all of which are now declared to be equally null and void as the mayors appointment ThsF will have to be married over again.

HELD WITHOUT BOND.
The Examinlne Trial of FaIrmsn for Kill
Ing Southerland Results as Above.


ing SoutherIand Results as Above.
The examining trial of E. w.
Fairman for the murder of A. j.
Switzerland at Powell last Satur-
day afternoon was concluded yes
terday afternoon in Judge Brad
ford's court.
1t developed in the trial that
both the deceased and the defend
ant are held in high regard in their
community and are estimable gen
tlemen, except that both are ad-
dicted to the habit of drink.
Neither. however, was drinking on
the afternoon of the killing
It seems from the evidence and
from what the citizens of the town
say that Switzerland shamefully
slandered Fairman's wife, and she,
a small, delicate woman, was often
thrown into fits of hysteria and
told her husband that if he was
any man he would protect her.
On this afternoon Fairman armed
himself with a 38-calibre pistol.
and on meeting Southerland began
to fire. The pistol failed to fire
the first time and Switzerland
made an effort to get out of the
way, but the second bullet took
effect near the spinal column and
was extracted from between the
sixth and seventh ribs. Other
shots were fred but sped wide of
the mark.
Cruce, Cruce & Cruce and c. l..
Herbert cross examined the gov
ernment witnesses, and at the con-
clusion of the trial the defendant
was remanded to Jail.
Fairman came to this country
from st. Louis two years ago and
purchased stock of merchandise
from A j. Switzerland. and has
continued in the mercantile bust
ness at Powell until the fatal shoot
ing occurred

business men this morning at 8
O'Clock at the city hall resulted as
other calls in Ardmore have here
tofOre. The one issuing the call
being the only one present, and,
of course nothing was done.
Our people certainly do want an
exhibit at the Dallas fair. and they
are showing a willingness to meet
the necessary expenses. Space has
been secured from the management
and 5000 will meet the necessary
demands.
One business man, in conversa-
tion today, said he would contribute
$25, and not less than half dozen
others said they would give as
much as any one else. Two hours
work in circulating a subscription
list will be all that is required to
raise the funds.
Some of the ladies here have al.
ready selected fruits from their Or
chards to contribute to this exhi-
bition and they will doubtless not
be disappointed.
Ardmore is sure to be represented
at the Dallas Fair and State Ex-
hibition.
