chief advantage that the railroads here have over those It home is in the lower wages for motormen and other employees; for coal, stael rails and car equipments cost about the same. As to wages, motor men receive 83 cents and conductors about P cents a day of ten hours. and other employees are proportionately cheap.
 Farming on the Rhine.
 It is wonderful how the Rhine valley s cultivated. For the greater part of the distance between Cologne and Mainz it is very hilly. but every inch of available space is used The mountains are ter raced in places. the earth being held in with wall sof stone and some of it, am told, carried up from the lowlands on the backs of women and men. Some of the patches are no larger than a bed quilt, and a field a yard wide will run a long distance around hill or up mountain. This is especially so in the vine-growing regions. which are in the most noun tainous parts of the valley. The land is so rough that all cultivation must be with the hoe or the spade. and hence back breaking. The grapes are planted in rows running up and down hill Each vine has its own stake, and it is cut down to a central stem or stump every year. All along the river under such vineyards are little towns of one or two story houses with roofs of slate or tiles. There are no houses in the vineyards, the most characteristic buildings being the white stone castles high up on the sides of the mountains.
 The soil Is carefully handled. It is fer tilized and so treated that although 1t has been producing for centuries 1t still yields abundantly. I expected to find Rhine wines on the Rhine very cheap, but the Tho rid and fall according to the season. for sometimes the crop is short, causing a general rise.
 One of the best wine regions is that of the Rheingau, which runs for about fif- teen miles along the river. It is here that the Johannesberger wines are pro- duced. They come from about ffty-fve acres of vineyards. being mhde from the best grapes raised on that area.
 Germans as Wine Drinkers.
 The idea prevails in the United States that the Germans drink only beer This is not true. They consume vast quanti- ties of wine. and their wines on the average are good. Every city has scores of wine restaurants. and many hotels have their wine restaurants and beer res taurants side by side. The difference is that anything ordered in the wine res taurant costs considerably more than the same thing in the beer restaurant Even beer costs more if taken in the wine restaurants The people often drink wine with their meals, and 1t Is a com mon thing to carry wine along with a lunch on the cars.
 As to beer. it takes the place of water among young and old. and no one thinks anything strange of children drinking it. I saw a school teacher bring thirty school children into a restaurant the other day He ordered dinner for them, and each had her pint glass of beer.

SUFFERED LOSSES AND ILL.

Drank Carbolic Acid-Invented g Drink Made Famous Round the si World-Prominent Figure in ], Washington for Years.
New York World.

New York World.
 Col. Joseph Kyle Hickey, an old Con- federate soldier who was for years ac- : tive in national politics and legislation. and who invented drink the fame of which ran around the world, died yes ferday, of carbolic acid poisoning. His wife, Mrs. Sallie Hickey. and his daugh- ter, Mrs. Leslie Hanchett, were with him at the last
 Col. Hickey had seen many ups and downs of fortune since he came to New York six years ago and made his home at the Hoffman House. He was specu- lator in stocks and in various other en- ferprises. During the last year he had been in constant hard luck. Worry over his losses made him i'll. Although only eixty-one years old and of powerful phy- sique, Col. Hickey suffered greatly from fatty degeneration of the heart.
 A few weeks ago the Colonel and his wife moved into a boarding house at NO: 24 West Twenty-fifth street. A trained nurse was engaged to help care for him as Mrs. Hickey is an invalid. The old man grew Respondent and melancholy. Last Friday he telegraphed his daughter, at East Saginaw, Mich. that he was i'll, and she arrived in this city on Sunday.
 Went Out and Bought Poison. Although urged by the physician to remain at home. Col. Hickey insisted at 10 A. M. yesterday upon taking a walk alone to Broadway. He was gone only a few minutes.
 Col. Hickey bought in Broadway drug sstore two ounces of carbolic acid. Then he entered the Hoffman House cafe. where he remained a short time. He left by the Broadway door and began to stag ger as he turned into Twenty fifth street Policeman Riordan took Col. Hickey oy the arm and helped him home. He placed the sick man on a lounge in the back par flor. Within few moments the Colonel fell to the floor dead.
 I Dr. Finch and Dr. Willis. and ambu- .aance surgeon agreed that the cause of Heath might have been fatty degeneration iof the heart, but Coroner seholer de- clared that this theory was I1ictda IcTLsec' said Coroner Scholer. "The autopsy settles aIl doubt on the matter. l think he must have taken the acid with whiskey. On account of the condition of his heart .lt would require only small quantity nf the acid to kill him"
 Mrs Hickey and her daughter started for Fulton. Mo. at Il P: M wi with ,1s9c Col; xstclrey who is in business in Oregon.
 A Figure in Washington.
 Col, Hickey was born in Wisconsin and
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-05-03

lived for years in Washington. He was the greatest gambler the capital ever saw. He would bet on any proposition at any odds. He won $S0,000 on the first election of Cleveland. In 1896 he was con fident that Bland would be nominated for President by the Democrats. He made dozens of bets on this proposition. sometimes giving odds of $100 to 8. The nomination of Bryan nearly cleaned him out.
 The drink known as the "Rickey" was named for Joe Hickey, but not by him. Hickey had habit of drinking in the whiskey into which he had squeezed half lime and poured a tumbler of water. One morning Fred Mussey walked into the place where Hickey did his drinking and said to the bartender: Give me a Rickey."
 A which?" asked the bartender.
 "One of those things Hickey drinks" The drink was made in a long glass
 piece of ice and carbonic water. Hickey always contended that the use of rye whiskey or gin in Hickey made 1t un- | fit for a gentleman to drink. Made Present of @ Ship. Hickey learned to play cards on the
 fondness for the river captains One of them came to see him in Washington. | The captain of a Potomac River steamer came in. Hickey asked him: Whats the
 name of your ship?" The Arrow, and she's a good one" What will you take for herr" The owner of the Arrow said his boat
 was worth $27, 900. Hickey handed him a check at once and then made present
 of the boat to the Mississippi River cap- | tain.
 | A young chap came into Rickey's place | in Washington before the Dempsey-Fitz-
 simmons fight and said Fitzsimmons
 would win. Everybody present laughed.
 The young fellow had no money. Hickey
 said: Here's $500; bet that" | He won, but Hickey would only take
 back his stake. Once in the old Will
 ard Hotel he challenged John R. Mclean to a bet on q certain proposition, and
 when Mclean demurred he asked: | You ain't afraid to bet, are your" l Mclean was angry. He threw a silver
 quarter on the floor ten feet away and
 said: I'll bet you $500 that coin is head
 up"
 This was more than Hickey bargained | for. but he was game, took the bet, lost
 and paid.
 | Hickey would bet a newsboy whether | he had an odd or even number of papers.
 He would bet wether the number of people | in a barroom was odd or even. He would | bet on the number of a street car or the | name of a stray dog that was passing.
 or anything else that he could get q wag- | CT on.
