MUCH Whisky MADE
Unusual Demand Results in
Large Production.
Whisky Used for Both: Coloring and
Flsvoring..Incre Consumption.

The revenue department at Louis
Vile has given out the information
that more whiskey is being distilled in
this revenue district this year than
ever before in the history of the de.
partment. The output Is enormous
and will be far in excess of any pre-
vious records.
The same conditions are reported to
the revenue department to prevail all
over the United States. The consump-
tion of alcoholic liquors has increased
rs per cent in the last three years.
This large increase is the result Of
the practice Of using whiskey for COL
oring and dyeing purposes. 1t is said
that the best dyes used in the United
States are those the body Of which is
composed Of whiskey.
whiskey is also being used to flavor
light-grade tobacco, which. Of course,
draws on the general output and in
creases the demand. Tests and expert.
ments with whisxey in the manufsc-
ture Of commercial products are being
made all over the country, and the re-
suit will doubtless be . continued in.
creased demand.

ALARGE CLASS
FOrty-Five Pharmacists Exami-
ned at Louisville.
-Four From Paducah-Result Not
Known for Several Days.

Messrs. Douglas Bagby, James Seq
enfelter, 7. Cooney and r. II. Willett,
Of Paducah, who attended the exami-
nation Of pharmacists by the Ken
lucky board at Louisville, have re-
turned home but it will be some time
before they know the result.
About As persons tried the examiua-
tion. which is the largest number for
some time, but there was only one COL
ored man and no women. The exami-
nation papers are said to have been
the most difficult ever given, and the
examiners think it will be surprising
IL more than half Of those who tried
the examination pass. As q rule, only
about 40 per cent of those who try the
examinations pass. 1t is impossible
for O man who does not know the drug
business to pass. The law passed in
1898 makes it necessary for all phar.
macists known as "head clerks" to
have . certificate from the secretary Of
state. This can only be secured by
standing the examination. Before the
law was passed men who were gradu-
ated from leading schools of pharmacy
were entitled to be "head clerks.
More regulations and restrictions are
being thrown about the business all
the time, which means that the public
is being protected.

Big Libel Suit Brought at Wash
ingtOn d. c.
It Involves the Defense of Paducan
by Federal Forces During
the War.
Is AN IMPORTANT ACTION

A big libel suit based on the defense
of Paducah during the civil war lie
due to begin today at Washington, al
though doubtless a majority of the
people Of Psducah didn't know such
suit was in existence.
The style of the'suit is Captain
Charles A. De Armand against Briga-
der General Frederick O. Ainsworth
for $50, damages for the alleged
criminal libel, and it will be tried in
the United States circuit court.
A Washington dispatch says Of the
case:
This action involves indirectly the
defense of the city Of Paducah, KY.
by Union forces against the Oonfeder-
ates during the Civil war. Il is based
on q report made by Genera, Aims
worth, in his capacity ss chief Of the
record and pension division Of the war
department, to the military commit
tee of the house of representatives
apropos Of q movement to confer
medal of honor upon Captain De Ar
maud for distinguished services in the
war between the states.
The immediate cause Of the publica-
tion of the report in question by Gen.
eral Ainsworth was the application Of
Generals Sickles and Curtis, of the
military committee Of the house, for q
report upon the military record Of
De Arnaud, whose friends at the time
were urging the bestowal of the medal
on account of the distinguished ser
vices rendered in saving Paducah TO
the Federal forces by information fur
nished General Grant at Cairo in re-
lation TO the movements Of the Con-
federate forces. At that time,i is said
the Confederates were massing forces
to march against Paducah, which. IL
captured, would give them command
of the Cumberland and Tennessee riv-
ers and make possible their planned
movements from Kentucky and Ten
nessee.
De Arnaud, it is said, had been over
the ground in a military capacity, and
had made sketches of the country, not
ing the points of vantage. While on
that expedition Captain De Armand
was taken prisoner at Union City, KY,
by Major Morgan, of the Oonfede rate
forces, and held for execution. He
escaped from prison and made his way
to Cairo, and arrived within the On
ion lines in time to warn Grant OF the
plans Of the enemy. In consequence
of the information furnished by Cap
tain DE Armand, the Union forces
moved against and captured Paducah,
and so defeated the well laid plans of
the Confederates.
In answer to the request Of General
Sickles, il is said Brigadier General
Ainsworth sent q report to congress,
which is the basis of the suit for dam
ages filed by Captain DE Armand. The
report, the plaintiff contends, is man
ufactured, malicious and criminally
libelous. For long time Captain De
Armand took no notice of the state
ments made in the report, but when
he found that his best friends were
turning against him, the doors of for.
merly hospitable homes shut in his
face, his private business affairs, seri-
ously affected, and that he was reduo-
ed to penury, he decided to act.
