Checking Sales of PoisOns.


The act which was passed by the 'legisla-
ture last winter and signed by the governor
will make extensive changes speedily with
regard to the methods employed in drug
shops in this state. Almost every issue Of
the daily newspapers contains accounts Of
suicides in which carbolic acids, arsenic
paris green or some other kind Of poison
has been swallowed and 1t Is indisputable
that in most cases the self-murderers have
had no difficulty in buying at drug stores
the deadly stuff which they used. More
over, the proofs have been abundant that
the precautions generally in use to limit the
sale of dangerous compounds have been in
sufficient and that the provisions of the
penal code have been disregarded in a la
mentable number Of instances. In almost
every city in the state the competition be-

Umbrellas for SavaEes,

Nearly twenty Englishmen are now at

chief and his faithful staff. There is moth
Ing under the sun chief can wear not
even excepting a cast-off silk hat or a red
lined cavalry coat, so calculated to strike
awe into the minds of refractory natives
and 80 Undue them with spirit of ODE
dience as a Bingham Traders, when
they want to obtain free access to the coun-
try Of one Of the hostile tribes, make pres
ents Of worn-out clothing to the natives, or
even a CAMP to particularly obstinate
and pugnacious chief. London syndicate
Of Gold Coast traders has given the order.
and is paying for the umbrellas in question,
which will be given to bride the vain, dusky

When finished the umbrellas will be gor-
geous beyond the dream Of the most mag

sons 1t will be used. The handle will
then be stuck in the ground and six slaves
will act as tent pegs. The material from
which 1t is being made is silk. and the col

the edge will be deep, rich fringe, and on
the top an deliberately chased cap, sur
mounted by British lion rampant. For
the staff the umbrellas will be somewhat
smaller and less majestic.

ARE CITIZENS OR SUBJECTS.
The Civil and Political Status of In
habitants of Coded Territories.

| From discussion as to the status Of the
| Inhabitants Of the Philippines and Porto
Rico Alexander Porter Morse, in the Har-
| ward Law Review, draws the following con-
clusions:
| First That upon a change of sovereigns
the coded territory and its inhabitants re-
main under the municipal law, public and
private of the former sovereign, as the
same subssted at the time Of the cession,
| until such time the new sovereign,
through the appropriate department of
government alters or modifies the same.
| Second. The relations Of the inhabitants
Of such territory, not excluded or excepted
| in treaty stipulations. are dissolved, and
new relations are created between them
| and the government which has acquired
| their territory; and that the law, which
may be denomlnated political. is necessar-
| lily changed, although that which regulates
| the intercourse and general conduct of in
| dividuals remains in force until unaltered
| by the new sovereign.
| Third. That the relation of the inhabi-
| tants to the new sovereign is that Of SUBJ
ject or citizen, according to the stipulations
Of cession and the form Of the Incorporate
| ing state.
| Fourth That under the American politi-
| cal system of government the power of
| Congress over coded territory and its in
habitants Is discretionary and supreme,
| and that legislation in respect to both is
! subject to no other control than the stip-
| ulations of the treaty and the Constitution.
| Fifth. That connected with these general
rights and powers Of Congress there are
obligations and duties which are to be as
| certained from the law of nations. the
stipulations of cession and the principles Of
| the Constitution Of the United States and
the decisions of the courts.
| Sixth. That under the American political
| system Of government the securities to life,
liberty and property which are incorpor-
ated in the Constitution were intended as
limitations of it's power over any and all
persons who might be within its jursdic-
ton anywhere, and that citizens of the ter
ritories as well as citizens of the states,
may claim the benefit Of their protection.
Seventh. That as result Of the ratifca-
ton Of the treaty of Paris of December 10,
1893, the dominion of Spain over the terri
tory ceded and their native inhabitants
the United States alone succeeded to the
sovereignty Of Spain and that the allegi-
ance Of the unexcepted native inhabitants
was transferred to the United States; in
other words, the political tie which had
formerly bound these inhabitants to Spain
was transferred to the United States. and
as a consequence the obligation of the new
sovereign to protect and the duty Of the
inhabitants to render allegiance became re-
lciprocal.
Eighth. That according to the modern
law of nations the native Inhabitants of
the Philippine archipelago and of Porto
! Rico must be deemed to be citizens or sub
jects OF the United States.
Ninth. That under the national (munici-

Enormous Southern Whisky Trade.

From the Macon Telegraph.
Macon's jug trade Is something wonder
full at this season of the year, but it is es-
pecially SO this year.
The jugs that have been shipped out to
neighboring towns through the express Of
flee alone amount to over 1900 a day from
Wednesday Up until Saturday, and for Sat
urday and Monday and Tuesday it was ex-
pected that the number for each would ap-
proximate 3,O00.s 1t is thought that fully
14,OOO will represent the total for the week.
beginning ,ast Wednesday. These jugs
contain from half gallon to five gallons,
but generally they have about two gallons
in them. Putting the average at two gal
Ions, 1t would make 5000 gallons.
Besides these there are kegs and barrels
shipped by freight and in private convey
ances.
1.-The beauty about this is that the whisky
brings retail prices" said citizen yester-
day. THAT whisky will average nearly "a
a gallon. making the whisky trade of Ma
cons out-of-town customers amount to up
ward Of 100000 during one week. speaking
alone of the express route; and 1t Is. per-
haps, safe to cay that as much more goes
out by other routes"

who also designed the torpedo boat destroy
er Bailey and the Eli, the fastest vessel
ever constructed. The latter has a speed
Of forty-two knots an hour. Mr.. Ostergren
says he IS confident that he can build a
beat that would make sixty knots, and
probably more.
This new boat will be cigar shaped. long
and narrow, as to give the least possible
resistance while passing through the water:
Matters of displacement, bulk, ETC., will
also receive special consideration Nickel
steel will be the principal material. both
for the vessel proper and for the ma
chinery. The machinery will consist of
four quadruple expansion engines, fitted to
the sides of the vessel. The object of these
fins is to keep the boat on an even keel while
attaining high speed.

Alleged Fugitive From Justice.

George Hannah, alias Thomas Hawley.
who was arrested New Year morning by
Detectives Horne and Father on suspicion
that he was wanted for crime in some other
city, was today charged in the Police Court
with being a fugitive from justice. the au-
thorities having been convinced by Detec-
tive Mcguire of Rochester. N. Y. who came
for him, that the prisoner was concerned
in the theft from jewelry store Of $3.50
worth of goods the evening of December
%. Hannah at first expressed himself as
willing to return to Rochester without the
his mind, and at the request Of his counse!
further proceedings were postponed by
Judge Kimball until Tuesday next.

Chinese Criticism of Our Alphabet.
-. rI.li.


The high-class Chinaman speaking
through his Interpreter, was giving the emil
nent American visitor his Impressions OF
the English language.
Il cannot understand. he said. how any
body ever finds time to learn 1t. Take that
singuarly formed letter in your alphabet
for instance. the letter e.. What an awk-
ward and ill-shaped character 1t Is. What
Is the significance of that little curling pro-
lection at the upper end of it? l have
lever seen anybody who could tell me.
Then, again when the learner has familiar
lied himself with that letter and can recog-
nze il al sight. he learns that it is only a
part of word and that il enters into the
composition of thousands Of words. 1t has
different pronunciation and sometimes is
hot pronounced at all, being entirely silent.
Now. when ycu see one of our Chinese
characters you know at once what it is. II
is wonder to me that your people do not
discard the cumbersome forms of your writ
ten language and learn our simpler and
mere easily understood system"
The eminent American could only bow his
head in humiliation and promise to bring
the matter before the educational authori-
ties OF his native land.

The resolutions adopted are in part as fol-
lows: "Tammany Hall, after three years
of fattening on blackmail and blood money
extorted from vice and crime, to enrich
Tammany leaders, Is now trying TO get
another lease Of power by pretending to
discard it's own criminal agents, only to
throw off the mask should it get into
power again.
THE present Tammany administration
has grossly Wronged the people OF New
York by adding enormously to the burdens
Of taxpayers, in order to increase the sal
aries of Tammany office-holders.
at is the duty of all good citizens to
unite in putting an end forever to Tam
many's reign of crime and to insure for
the city of New York a government Of the
people for the people and by the people. in
stead of an administration directed from
Vantage, England.
I'VE hereby agree to devote our best eff
forts from now until the close Of election
| day, 1901, to securing for New York an
honest municipal government that Will deal
| fairly and Justly with every class OF citi-
| zens, put competent men in charge OF pub
| lie affairs and put an end finally to the sys-
| tenn of extortion, blackmail and oppression
| Of which Tammany has confessed itself
guilty.

of his splendid new house on 9TH avenue

the splendors of the famous Vanderbilt ball
masoue or the more recent Bradley-M Martin

| entire first floor of the spacious new palace
| will be thrown into one room. The first
| floor contains the library, music room.

| and ball room. each Of great size and all
| Joined by doorways of such generous
breadth that throwing all the rooms into
" hitney will receive his guests, OF whom
there will be more than 500.
The house, which was formerly the man.
sion of Robert l.. Stuart, has been entirely
remodeled and the adjoining housc.added to
It. Mr.. Worthington Whitehouse and Miss
| Barney will lead the cotillon. The floral
| decorations Of the great ball room Will be
| Of great beauty and profusion. Roses and

| Is to serve the supper. He Is going to at
