to give the surgeons his name, although
he was unable to state how he received
his injuries. He claims to be a mechanic
by trade and says his home is il Fall

was released on her promise to appear be-

The still was at So Division Street. Just
why Colonel Thompson had reason to be-
lieve that it was there he is not willing
to tell but he went to the place this af-
ternoOn with two of his deputies and.

heads full of sugar and uffder the bed in
the corner of the room were two complete
copper stills and all their attachments.
They were capable of an extreme produc-
tion of leo gallons at distillation. The
whisky sells ordinarily at S1.40 Il gallon.
There was no one in the apartment when
the officers broke in but after two hours
prepossessing woman about forty years
old entered. She had brown shawl over
her head and a bright red waist, and re-
garded the strangers IN her home with
mingled indignation and fear.
What's the matter?' she asked the
janitor in German.

The woman stepped back out of the door
and closed it.

Thompson.

Colonel Thompson ran out into the hall,
but the woman was nowhere in sight.
He ran into Division Street and saw a wo-
man in brown shawl running toward the
river. He caught her in the middle of
the block. When she felt his hand on her
shoulder, she stopped short and glared
al him:
Now you have me-" she said, what
will you do2"
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 1t to support herself and her
six children. She was Annie Rappaport,
widow, she said. She had just one loaf
of bread and piece of meat in the house
The woman said she got the still and
the apparatus from two cousins of hers
who had a still in Brooklyn for year or
more and left 1t to her when they went
abroad last March.
The woman promised Commissioner
Shields to come before him tomorrow after
she had arranged for the care of her chill

ENGLAND'S NATIONAL DEBT.
The Reduction interrupted by the
south African Wnr.

NEW YORK, April 19.-The London cor
respondent of the Evening Post" has
this to say regarding the progress of
England's debt
with the new British Government loan
Of probably e50.U000o near at hand. it
will be interesting to recall the past his
tory of the British debt. In September,
1915, when peace was signed at Paris after
Waterloo. the debt of Great Britain
amounted to $500, 1876 S45, and was certain
ly the largest debt owed by one nation at
that time. No other country has ever
shown such huge Indebtedness except
France. the funded debt of which now eX-
ceeds 1909 millions. But in the case of
France it must be remembered that GER
tain proportion represents outlays for the
development of the railway system, and
which in time will bring some relief to its
treasury.
tndaunted by the magnitude Of the
amount owed, British Parliaments set
themselves to work, after the Peace of
Paris, to bring about a reduction. By
persistent efforts in this direction they
paid off in the succeeding eighty-four
years more debt than any other coun-
try in the world excepting the United
States. In that period the debt redemP-
