Maryland Line, 7th District.-On June
18th, in connection with the Young Peoples
meeting, Rev. J.. H. Jeffries conducted an
Evening with Tennyson," at New Market
NJ. f. Church. He gave an interesting sketch
of Tennysons life, commencing with his
early boyhood, and as all eagerly followed
him in his talk and watched the growth and
perfection of his poetic abilities, we felt that
we had never before thoroughly appreciated
this poet of nature, so Intellectually great.
Selections from his best poems were read, and
as the poets soul transformed into rythmlcal
language the beautiful objects he saw in
nature, so by these sentiments we were enabled
to look more clearly through nature up to
natures God Mr.. Jeffries proposes giving a
series OF lectures on 1.-THE Ministries OF Pleas
ure," the first of which, 1.-THE Ministry OF
Books" will be given on June 10Th.
On June 10th the Sunday school Of the M.
E. Church at this place held its annual Chill
dren's Day service. The church was elaborate
" and tastefully decorated with potted plants
and with the arches trimmed with evergreens,
flags and bright colored flowers, presented
an artistic effect. Nearly all the members OF
the school took some part in the exercises and
as they were we'll trained the affair was a de-
cided success throughout. The music was q
special feature and was we'll rendered by the

Enforcing the Oleomargarine Law
The Baltimore Butter Dealers Association,
now that the majority of the oleomargarine
cases have been disposed of, proposes to watch
sharply for violations of the law at present
on the Maryland statute books. 1t will also
keep an eve open for any illegal act committed
by the offenders who pleaded guilty last eek /.
and were paroled for one year on payment OF
costs.
The new law provides that oleomargarine
cannot be sold or served when colored in imi-
tation of butter, and the uncolored oleomarga-
rine may be sold or served only when large
placards printed in four-inch Roman letters
are posted conspicuously about the place OF
selling or serving. Two indictments have al
ready been found under the new law, and
these will probably be tried soon. The penalty
imposed by the new law infiicts fine of 500
and costs for the first offense and 5000 fine and
six months imprisonment upon second
conviction.

N A COFFEE BOILER
Moonshiner Hits Upon Clever
DistiIIing Device.
BROUGHT TO JAIL HERE
Has Been in Prison More
Than Half His Life.

Yesterday a real moonshiner was taken
out Of the Wichita jail and sent to Fort
Worth, Texas. He was brought here by
United States Deputy Marshal Fred
Trigg, who was taking him to Fort
Worth from the Leavenworth peniten-
tiary, where he has just finished a years
sentence. Mr.. Trigg said that the fellow
was real, genuine old-time moonshiner,
j. P. Marrow of everywhere.
The Illicit whisky man is but q years
old and told Mr.. Trigg that he had been
moonshining ever since he was 16. He
had originally came from Georgia, the
father land of all moonshiners. However,
this one came to the flint hills west OF
Fort Worth early in his career and has
been in that vicinity ever since
The fellow is natural born criminal
and has already served three jail SEN
fences and one term in the peniteniary
for plying his trade. He is rather proud
of his achievements and told Mr. Trigg
that in his life he had made enough
moonshine whisky to float the Oregon.
Even though he is Just out of prison, he
IS going back to Fort Worth to answer
to another charge of moonshining. 1t
seems that after he had been appre-
hended and before he was convicted he
was out on bail and during that time he
went back to distilling. He denies this
last charge and is going to fight the case,
He has plenty of money and has engaged
two of the best lawyers to defend him.
Mr.. Trigg also said that, although
for being the great moonshine districts,
Georgia is the true center of moonshine
land. Unlawful whisky making is also
much more common than is generally
supposed. It is an actual fact that a still,
under the guise of a coffee boiler, was
patented and the officials had not the
least suspicion as to its true character.
This contrivance looks like large coffee
pot with lid that can be fastened down
tight It is provided with a screen to
hold the mash in the bottom of the pot.
Out of the side projects a tube that looks
for al 1.-The world like a spout. Mash and
water are put in the boiler and con-
denser is attached to the spout and the
still is ready for business. When placed
on q kitchen stove and properly operated,
the apparatus will make ten gallons a
day. AS the boiler without the con-
denser is patented and bears a trade
mark. it would never arouse any sus-
picions If the condenser were out OF
sight.
