The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1904-04-13

Topeka, Kan, Cspital: An entire
Iy new scheme of whiskey peddling
has just been discovered in the Indian
Territory, and it seems to have been
going Oh for months. The officers of
the district northwest of Herbert have
known for some time that whiskey
was being sold to various parties, but
not until recently were the psddlers
csught. They had travelled around
the country in an old wagon drawn
by q poor sraa of Indian ponies and
were, presumably, buying eggs and
poultry. They would sell small bot
Ties of liqRor to tanners and Indians
through the neighborhood, and 81 q
pint was the usual price. The Off
Gers discovered that both axles of the
old wagon were of iron and very large.
These axles were hollow and would
hold about four gallns each. The ped
dlers would reEoTe small bolt aud
insert q pump and draw the desired
amount of whiskey. One of the ped
dlers admits having solG ,whiskey in
this way for Gge nonShs, and has
made enough money to buy:a farm in
Texas. He saws be will serve his time
in Jail and then bug a farE.

here almost if not quite since the

PAVILION BUILT OF DRIED FRUITS.
Santa Clara County, CAL, Makes
Unique Display of Its Fruit Pro-
ducts at the Worlds Fair.

st. Louis, April 11.-With dried
fruits there has been performed at the
Worlds Fair feat of architecture
that vies in beauty of design with the
most pretentious creations of staff.
In the great Palace of Agriculture is
most unique pavilion erected by
Santa Clara county, Cal, for the dis
play of its vast fruit prodcuts.
Choosing for model the old San
Louis Rey Mission near San Diego,
the builders with dried prunes, april
cots, figs and peaches have fashioned
the walls and towers in all OF their old
Spanish picturesqueness, and with
more of the edibles miniature repro
duction Of the Lick Observatory has
been designed as a crowning ornament
for the unique structure.
Twenty thousands dollar were appro-
priated or Santa Clara's participation
in the Worlds Fair and the space
covered by the county's exhibit is
larger than that allotted to the island
of Cuba, which adjoins 1t. The pavil-
ion covers SO by 2l feet of room and
altogether l,610 square feet of space is
taken up by the exhibits.
Not alone do the luscious exterior
walls faithfully portray the outlines
of the Old mission, but inside the pro-
ducts Of the orchard have been dis
played in such array of splendor that a
uythiogical palace is at once brought
to mind. Jars of preserved fruit are
embedded in the structure of ballus-
trades and archways, giving the ap-
pearance Of sections of stone inserted
By the skill of masonry.
What a gorgeous spectacle is the
interior! Chandeliers formed by
clusters of globes filled with sparkling
| wines and juices, behind which are
hidden powerful electric lights, iilumi-
nate the chambers whore dainty dishes
| of Santa Clara sweets are served to
visitors. Here will be served not only
fresh and dried fruit, but demonstra-
tions will be made of how they are
used in making preparations intended
to delight human appetites.
| Wonderful is the color effect achiev-
ed in the decorations witt the limited
shades to draw from. With an artists
hand the ebony hue Of the prune has
been blended with the bright red
orange and tint of the dried apricot and
the gray and white of the bleached
peach in scheme that is as pleasing
to the eye as one made with all TIE
colors of the painters palette.
-Four tons of dried fruits were used
in the installation for Ornamental
purposes. Vsri-colored urns Of fruit
have been arranged in the windows
with such an effect as to cause the rays
of light to delude the vision into the
impression thta they are panes of rich
ly stained glass.
William Binder is the architect c1
the structure It is the most elabo
rate effort ever made by the fruit
growing interests of Sa1ta Glars
| county. Lending attraction to The
building is the locag color Californian:
will find in the model. The Sar
Louis Rey Missioa is ore of ths
historic attractions of Southern Cali
