WIDOW
MOONSHINER.

New York, April l0.-On the third
floor of dirty, ramshackle tenement
on the East Side, to-day, internal
revenue officers of this district dlscov-
cred a lincolnshire still, owned and
ran by a woman. She had six chill
dren and the whole place showed
traces of such abject poverty that
Commissioner Shields and Colonel
Frank G Thompson, the head agent
of the revenue service, decided TO-
gether that it would overs train JUS
tlce to hold the woman in custody,
and she was released On her promise
to appear before the Commissioned to
morrow morning. u
The still was at 62 Division street.
There were six fifty gallon llogsheads
full'of sugar and under the bed in the
corner OF the room were two complete
copper stills and all their attachments
They were capable of All extreme pro-
duclion of one hundred gallons at a
distilation. The whisky sells ordi-
nariiy at $l.40 a gallon.
There was no one in the apartment
when The officers broke in, but after
two hours preposscssng woman of
40 entered. She had a brown shawl
over her head and bright red waist,
and regarded the strangers in her
home with mingled Indignation and
fear
whats the natter" she asked
the ianitor in German.
"You ought to know, he replied.
The woman stepped back cut Of the
door and closed it.
"Who was that woman?" asked
Colonel Thompson. THAT woman?"
repeated the janitor grinning, "why,
she's the woman you re after" COL
onel Thompson ran out into the hall,
but the woman.w was nowhere in sight.
As fast as his legs could carry him
: the Colonel ran into Division street
and saw a woman in brown shawl
running toward the river. He caught
her in the middle Of the block, When
she felt bis arm on her shoulder, she
stopped short and glared at him with
her big black eyes. CHOW you have
me, " she said, "what will you dog"
Colonel Thompson led her back to the
tenement. She told him frankly
there that the still was hers, and said
very simply that she ran it to support
herself and her six children.
She was Annie Rappaport, a widow
she said. She had just one loaf of
bread and a piece of meat in the house
and the meat was not cooked She
cared not what the officer did with
her. lie might send her to Jail if he
would, but the children must go
along with her, otherwise she
would really refuse to 60 to Jail at all.
She was told that the children could
not go with her. and then she broke
down.
The woman said she got the still
and the rest of the apparatus from
two cousins Of hers, who had still
in Brooklyn for year or more, and
left it to her when they went abroad
last March. Colonel Thompson groan-
cd when he heard this. The woman
promised Commissioner Shields to
come before him tomorrow after she
had arranged for the care Of her chill.

great singer intends to spend her re-
naming years in Sweden, and that her
husbands wish is to reside in his ma

entities him to a place in the highest
circles of aristOcracy.
Craig Y Nos. or Rock Of the Night
came into the possession of Patti In
1875, while she was on a pleasure tour
in Swansea valley with a party Of junk
eters. The romantic station OF the
seat by Stream and craig appealed TO
her very strongly and she made an
offer to become it's owner. The castle
had been built in 1872, but had been
allowed to run down.
AS soon as the singer secured posses
sion she began to improve the grounds
and building. Within q score OF years
she has expended nearly three-Quarters
of a million dollars converting the place
into what is probably the finest country
residence in the United Kingdom. THE
roadway to the castle grounds was con-
structed by Nine. Patti at COST OF
$50 600

which itself cost $4,000.
Sir Henry Irving lent to Mm2 Patti

persons and the stage can accommodate
sixty players. When Sir Henry irving
saw the completed work he pronounced
it the finest thing Of its kind in exist

Many famous guests. including roy
atty. have been entertained in this
theater. The auditorium is lighted By
gas. and the plant for this ilumina-
ton, as well as that Of the entire cas-
tie, was built at a large expense by its
owner on the castle grounds.
A few years ago Nine Patti had built
in the large tower a chime Of bells at "a
cost Of $40. 900. These chimes ring every
fifteen minutes. The castle is main

whom are under the direction OF the

This decision was arrived at yesterday
afternoon at the regular meeting of the
