TASTING OF LIQUORS.
Chere Is Known to Be q Good Deal of Humbug in the Expert
 Palate Claim.

Stories about the delicate taste" of those who claim to be wine experts are always interesting. Recently we came across one in which Goethe fig ures, says the Buffalo Commercial. At small party at the court of Wei mar the marshal asked permission to submit namefess sample of wine. Accordingly a red wine was cir culated, tasted, and much commend ed. Several of the company pro- nounced it Burgundy, but could not agree as to the special vintage of the year. Goethe alone tasted and tasted again, shook his head, and, with a meditative air, set his glass on the table.
 "Your excel1ency appears to be of different opinion" said the court marshal. May ask what name you give the wine?'
 'sThe wine,~ said the poet, ''is quite unknown to me, but I do not think that it is Burgundy, I should rather consider it good Jena wine that has been kept for some while in a Madeira cask."
 s.And so, in fact it is," said the court marshal.
 There is a great deal of humbug in this wine tasting and expert palate" In liquors. We have seen several men smacking their lips over some real old' whisky from a bottle labeled 1s43, and discussing what the effect of the aging had been, when the real facts were that it was very ordinary whisky put into a bottle labeled as above the night before by some one who wanted to test the experts"

JIM BROWN WAS HERE
St. Clair Sheriff Passed Through Montgomery Sunday With
 His Priaoner

When the Western train from At lanta reached the city Sunday morn ing among the passengers was white man holding chain which was locked on black negro weighing about 15O pounds.
 The white man was sheriff J. L. North of St. Clair County, and the ne- gro was John Wilson, alias Jim Brown. who is wanted at Springville, St. Clair County. for assault and attempted mur- der of Miss Della Garrett. a schoolgirl 16 years old. The entire county was searched by infuriated citizens and readers of The Advertiser will remem- Der the account of the shooting of a negro near Birmingham. 1t was thought that he was the rapist, but it turned out to be the wrong man.
 Jim Brown was serving out a ten- year sentence for attempted rape at his home in Williford. s. C.. but he es- capped and came to Alabama.
 The Sheriff came from Atlanta by Montgomery instead of going over the Southern to Birmingham, to avoid the possibility of the negro being Gnobbed when the train got into St. Clair Coun- ty. The feeling there is very much against the negro.
 The Sheriff and his prisoner left at 6:30 p. m. Sunday afternoon for Birm- inRham.

New orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. La, June A.-There was no change of any importance in con- ditions in the spot cotton market today. Holders are asking prices well above the quoted level for their offerings. and gen. erally refuse to part with their lists ex- eept where material concessions are made in their favor. They are further encour- aged in their views by the con .inued inn provements in conditions in the goods trade and by the added strength or the Liverpool position. On the other hand buyers are still operating very cautious ly and, except under pressure of mme- diate necessities. generally refuse to meet the demands of the selling contingent. Sales, 1900 bales, including 95O to arrive. Quotations unchanged.
 In the market for contracts there was the usual Monday morning Whiri or ac- tivity today, but matters soon Quited down and the forenoon wore away with but average trading recorded. Llverpooi was decidedly strong, being up l-ozd on spot and 4-64p5-64 for deliveries. This market opened 2GI6 points above Satur- days closing, and immediately fell off 2Gl3 points. Subsequently, however, there was rather a sharp rally, unde the influence of free buying operations and values were forced tip agaia The con tinued drouth in Texas is telling upon the spirits of the bears, and they are somewhat easily stampeded; with what degree of reason is questionable. After several fluctuations the market clos l0Qtl3 points higher than Saturdays clos ing figures.

Little Home Life in NewAYOrk

Philadelphia Ledger.
 The rapid multiplication of hotels. restaurants and apartment-houses on Manhattan Island Is a signal proof that conditions of existence in this city have become such that home life, in the old acceptation of the termb is practically impossible. Those who are unwilling to give 1t up are obliged to retire to suburbs or to the outlying parts of the city. Those who would live near the heart of the city must sacrifice privacy and consent to reside in hotels and apartment houses and take many or all their meals in res- taurants. New York is fast becom- ing a city of apartment and tenement houses. The poor live in the latter and the we'll to do live in the former.

Military Conscription in England

Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
 It is noticeable that English news papers and magazines are printing an increasing amount of matter on the subject of military conscription, and that those who favor conscription are as well becoming decidedly bolder in their presentation of arguments. The growth of the influence of the mflitarist school has lately been so notable that this tendency is quite in keeping with the time. The feeling is becoming more general in the kingdom that a much larger army is needed and most men in England who make a study of military affairs feel that conscription is inevitable if the pay of the private Is not increased.
