Young Man Who PeddIed Whiskey
will Have TO Suffer Severely.
Was Fined s26 and Costs This Morn.
ing and the Government Gets
Him Next.
JOHN ELRoD ALSO FINED

The first man arrested in Paduoah
for "bootlegging," or selling whiskey
without a license, in many years was
arrested by Captain Henry Bailey and
bis men last evening. He is young
white man who gives his name rs
Powell Scott, says he is from Alaba-
ma, and claims to be related TO prom
inent people in Paducah.
He sold a Mayfield negro named
Jack Crsvens half q pint Of whis-
key yesterday, and the negro
liked it so we'll that he went back and
asked what he could get gallon for.
WhisFey was pretty scarce, and the
young man informed him he could get
half for 90.
The negro claims the young man
never secured the whiskey or returned
the two dollars, hence he reported the
facts to Captain Henry Bailey, and
the latter went out and arrested him.
1t developed, the officers claim, that
the man was securing whiskey from
John Elrod, who runs . saloon on Sec
ond street, and was peddlinR it on the
streets. 1t was being handed him out
the window.
He was srraigned before Judge San
ders this morning and pleaded not
guilty, but the evidence showed that
he was aud he was fined s25 and costs
for selling whiskey without license,
and Elrod, who pleaded guilty to VIC
lating the Sabbath, was fined $50 and
costs.
The young mar will have worst
still to contend with, however, as the
government is yet to get at him. The
lowest penalty for selling Intoxicating
liqu or without a government license
is 800 and thirty days in Jail, and
may be much greater.
Many "bootleggers'', who are pro
ducts principally of local option
towns, have a government license, bui
no other kind. When they have nc
license at all, both the commonwealth
and the Federal government take Q
hand in their punishment.

Hawaiians Enjoying a Good Joke on
Senators.
The Americans Wanted to be steered
Against the "Luau Feast" and
II Was Dog.
WERE MUCH DELIGHTED

Honolulu, Hawaii, Oct. 10, via San
Francisco, Dot. 27-Hawaiisns are
laughing heartily over . joke they say
was played on members of the sena-
torial commission last month.
United States Senators Mitchell Of
Oregon, Foster of Washington and
Burton Of Kansas, were made to eat
dog-not political dog, but real cooked
canine.
Those who are authority for the
story declare the senator's ate the fare
with relish and called for more. This
dish was served the party at one of
the native "Luaus" or feasts, during
their recent visit in Honolulu.
Among Hawaiians cooked dog has
long been esteemed one Of the great
est of delicacies No native feast is
ever complete without such dish,
and by old and young the morsel is
eagerly sought. So great has been
the demand for lusu dogs that numer-
GUS natives have specially engaged in
raising dogs for this market.
The senators and their party while
here were invited to many entertain
ments in Honolulu. Invariably when
an invitation to Hawaiian luau came
there was special delight among the
senators-they were anxious to enjoy
some Of the many original and DELI
oious Hawaiian dishes.
Knowing the abhorrence CT the
white person to eating dog, Hawsiians
have nos in recent years served the
animal at all Of their fessts where
white guests were present. The sem
ators, however, had expressed the de-
sire to see and know all Of the Hawai-
ian dishes. The party attended reg.
ular Hawaiian luau. All Of the deli
cacies that Hawaiian culinary art
could supply were there. Everything
was we'll cooked and the party partook
of every dish offered them.
"Try some Of this meet, senators, ="
said Senator Burton to his colleagues.
"It is simply delicious. Strange how
these Hawaiians have learned the art
of cooking pig. I never tasted such
delightful roast pig in my life."
The other senators tasted Of the
"pig" and declared it excellent.
But the "pig" was one Of the famous
H. -aiian luau dogs.

Pearls and Buttons.

Baroque. or irregular pearls. are eD-
joying a tremendous vogue. One Of the
favorite combinations of these jewels
with others for a necklace is made by
two rows Of seed pearls and at inter
walls threading in the string pendent
cabochon jewels with one large ba-
rogue pearl in the center. The cabO
chons are often turquoises, but in 9th.
er cases translucent gems are effective,
such as amethysts, moonstones and
sapphires.
A rough turquoise set in gold for a

Edward Wis Return to the turf.

Something in the nature Of a mild
sensation has been caused in England
by the announcement Of entries for the
spring handicaps which revealed the
fact that King Edward has entered
several horses in his own name. This
is taken to mean that the king will
publicly resume his beloved sport upon
the expiration of the term of court
mourning for Queen Victoria, who died
Jan. 30 last.
Since that deplored event the sover-
eign's stables have been conducted un-
der the name and colOrs of Lord Mar
Gus Beresford, and it has been semiof
ficially intimated that the king would
never again personally figure on the
turf.
Following the announcement, it is
taken for granted that Danny Maher
who has been engaged as the chief
jockey Of the Beresford stables for the
coming season. will actually ride the
kings horses, although no statement to
that effect has been made.
The resumption of the sport by the
king i'm his own person is hailed with
JOY by the sport loving element. which
anticipates lively and thriving season
in consequences

filed. Among the Americans repre-.
scented are Messrs. w. c. Whitney, J.
