something wrong. She begged her mother

hinted that Walter might not come that
evening. She said he was III and that

humbugs. charity humbugs, political hum
bugs, and all the rest. She has very
pronounced opinions on all topics, and OF

things with which her readers will not all

demned. because II wins millions OF dol

A Big THING
Louisville Talking of a Large
DistillatiOn Plant,
WIN Mean a Great Deal to the Liquor
Dealers. II Is Claimed.
Lurline Wilkerson.

Louisville, March GA deal is now
being negotiated, with every promise
Of success, which will affect the wits.
key business more than any move
since the organization OF the Ken
lucky Distilleries and Warehouse Co.
The deal Is for the erection of an
immense plant at some point on the
Ohio river near Louisville for me dis
tillation of cologne spirits. The plant
Is to be cooperative. all the distillers,
rectifiers and Wholesale liquor dealers
in this section Of the state owning
stock and entering into a contract to
purchase all spirits used from this dis.
tillcry. The capital stock Of the new
concern will probably be $500, 900.
II the plant can be built and put in
operation long fight with tie Ken
lucky Distilleries and Warehouse Co.
is expected to result The trust, dur.
ing the past two years, has gone ex-
tensively into the business Of distill-
ing spirits and now practically con-
trolls the trade in this state. Their
immense plants at Peoria, H.. and
Terre Haute, Ind, every week send
car loads Of spirits into Kentucky.
The quotation on spirits yesterday
was $3.50 per gallon for finished
goods. Those interested In the new
venture say that the spirits can be sup.
piled here for about si.26 per gallon.
AS about 400 barrels Of spirits each
day are used by reotifiers in this city,
the immense saving which would re-
suit from cooperative distillery is
apparent.
The spirits are used for the manu-.
fscture Of the cheaper whiskeys. The
spirits are manufactured in the game
as whiskey. They are then
put through rectifying process,
which renders them neutral, removing
taste, smell and color. In this form
they take on the character Of any Ii
quor with which they are mixed.
One barrel of whiskey will impart
its taste, odor and color to . number
Of barrels Of spirits In this way the
spirits are freely used by reotiti ers in
all parts of the country.
Local rectihers have tried numerous
plans to avoid buying from the trust.
A small cooperative concern was es-
tabiished ct Lawrenoeburg, but was
too far away from LOUSY lille TO be q
paying investment. Corning q Co.,
1t Peoria, ILL.,, have built mp an i'm
mense business, and now supply Q
number of Louisville dealers.
The only thing which will prevent
the present deal from going through
Is the natural opposition between the
various wholesalers, but 1t was stated
that majority of the local
iealers were already subscribers to
The scheme.

The Great COnsummatIOu.

Miss Tarbell has called the eighth
chapter Of her Standard Oil History,
which appears in the June McClure's
1.-THE Great Contamination. 1t is a
splendid piece of crowded narrative;
the best yet, one is tempted to say.
Briefly, wildly, and tersely il relates
the collapse of the last united stand Of
the independents against the Standard
in the ill-advised attempt of 1879 to
bring Mr.. Rockefeller and his col
leagues to trial for conspiracy, and
ends with an account of the uprising Of
the collosal fabric of the first great
modern trust. The chapter is a bril-
liant example of the best kind of pop
ular history.
