The Truth
about Whiskey

Blended or Compounded
Whistles have been char
acterized recently (n certain
newspaper interviews) as
spurious whiskey. Nothing
could be further from the
truth. Whiskey, scientih.
cally blended from different
ages, and particularly when,
as in the case Of IlhN1U
Rye, all the Whistles used in
the blend come from the same
distillery, is just as pure whis-
key as two glasses Of water
from the same spring would,
if mixed, still be pure water.
Straight bottled in bond whis-
key is whiskey that is not
blended, that has been
watched by the internal re-
venue inspector and actually
under his control from the
time the grain is introduced
to the mash until the govern
ment stamp or seal is placed
on the bottle and the whiskey
Is marketed.

WORCESTER, April 24.-Brought from
New York by telegram on a journey in
which she hoped to aid her husband, whom
she supposed to be under arrest here, Mrs.
Eugene Beck hurried into police headquar-
tiers this morning only 10 learn that she had
been the victim Of trick to get money
Yesterday she received the following
despatch:
Mrs. Beck. 62S East Elsrsnh street New York:
Send IS a. once ! avn arrested. Mutt
W. l. RAYMOND.
The police are not sure that the message
was not sent by the husband OF the woman.
This opinion Is not shared by Mrs. Beck,
who SAYS her husband would not be guilty
OF such deception.
Al noon two we'll dressed men called for
the answer at the telegraph Office. One said
his name was Beck. Both men were taken
10 Police Headquarters where they denied
that either was Beck, but said they had been
sent by Beck TO obtain the message. They
said they we're members OF Hebrew theat-
Tical company owned by Beck.
Police inspectors found Beck at a board
ing house With the leading woman OF the
company. He admitted TO her I hat he sent
the telegram 10 his wife, but when he gCt
TO police headquarters he was positive
he didn't send the telegram.
At the proper time Chief Stone sent for
Mrs. Beck and when the manager saw
his wife he began to scream like a crazy
man. Mrs. Beck who Is a large woman,
Got him in the corner and threw her arms
about his neck. Chief Stone remar ked :
Il told Mrs Beck to carry her husband
back 10 New York and wiring his neck.

said 20 Mean Birreli.
What Ia described by some local Re-
publican leaders as a specimen Of the bills
which Billy Halpin promised TO have passed
at Albany for the benefit Of the city at
large was introduced a few days ago by
Assemblyman Beihih Of the Thirty-tirst
district Of which Tax Commissioner Stras-
bourger u the leader. Il provides for the
appointment Of Commissioner Of Records
for the county Of New York, and II passed
will call for the expenditure by the city OF
100000 a year. The bill has passed the
Assembly and IL now In the rules com
mittee.
The real purport Of it has apparently
escaped notice at Albany, but down here
In New York IL "a beginning 10 be com
mented on, and the belief In the minds OF
many who have read it Ia that IL has been
framed in the interest OF Deputy County
Clerk Henry Birrell, who will go out OF
office at the end Of this year with County
Clerk Thomas L. Hamilton.
The bill provides that within ten days
after the passage OF the act the County
Clerk shall appoint a Commissioner OF
Records for a term Of six years, and that
the duty Of the new commissioner shall b
TO prepare indices OF mortgages and other
records Of the Registers and Surrogate's
offices and = have translated into English
the old Dutch records in those Offices.
The commissioner IA TO get $1,000 a year
and IA empowered under the bill 10 appoint
deputies assistants. clsrks and laboreu
and TO incur a yearly expenditure not eI-
Ceedilg $4,000, which IL Ia made man
datory on the Board Of Estimate 20 appro-
pirate. The commissioner and his stan
are also to be provided with quarters in the
new Hall OF records.
Mr.. Birrel Is lighting Herbert Parsons
for the leadership Of the Twenty-ffth
district. He has the support Of the Odell-
Halpin crowd. while Mr., Parsons has al
ways refused 10 take orders from Mr.. Odell
or Halpin. County Clerk Hamilton sailed
for Europe last week According 70 re-
port, he Il going 10 see Odell. Mr. Hamil-
ton Is being talked Of as the possible Re
publican choice for Mayor. Birrell, II IA
known, Ia boosting along the idea, and there
is no doubt In the minds Of moet Of those
who have read the Beihilf bill that II It Is
passed Hamilton will make Birrell the
new commissioner. With the 100000 a
year spending capacity which the bill car
ries with il Birrell could build up fairly
strong following TO shout for the nomina-
ton Of Hamilton, az well as TO help In the
effort TO Dust Parsons from the leadership
Of the Twenty-hfth.

THE DOUGLASS STUDIO.

Since the return of Miss Lucille Doug lass her studio has resumed it's usual winter activity and every day groups of ambitious young women may be seen there busily engaged in both water color work and in porcelain decoration. The Douglass studio is on the top floor of the Watts building, a big, sunny room, done in dark green, and attractively fur nshed. The large windows let in quan- titles of November sunshine and below them are cosey window seats looking out upon the throngs below or over the house tops, according to the mood you may be in at that particular moment. Lux uriousness is the key note in the studio which in it's dark green backgrounds is a perfect setting for the water colors and the china.
 During Miss Douglass absence this summer she continued her water color work painting besides the heads and figures of women, of which she has done so many, number of landscapes, bril- liant, daring things, and she has also brought back to her studio many hand some porceaines.
 Among her procelaines is a tea set done in q colonial design which represents some of her best work Her separate pieces vases, plates, punch bowls, are among the handsomest ever seen in the studios, and reveal the delicate touch and understanding of color that is notice able on the work of this young artist.
 Her rose pieces are almost startling in their color effects, and in their arrange ment, and while Miss Douglass has so far relied to some extent upon water colorists in whose studios she has work ed, her present work has taken her away from their influence, more or less, and they are the first to admit that in future she must follow her own inclinations and rely solely upon her self, that indeed she has grown beyond them and needs their influence no longer.
 Miss Douglass will probably not give an exhibition this winter. but she may | announce some informal at homes.

BULLFROG FRACTION
 CLAIM SEEMS RICH
AT THE 3O-FOOT LEVEL A BODY
 OF VERY RICH ORE FOUR FEET
 WIDE HAS BEEN ENCOUNTERED.

Bullfrog, New, November 1.-(Special)- Judge Volney T. Hoggatt, who, with
 'Lige" Harris, was one of the pioneers here, reports a sensational strike on the Bullfrog Fraction claim, which lies mid way between the Original Bulfrog mine and the property of the Bullfrog Exten- sion Mining company and adjoins both. At the 3-foot level, body of ore four feet wide has been encountered that averages s2671 A per ton in gold and s254. % in silver. The assay certificate bears the signature of N. M. Simons, a noted Bull frog assayer, whose privilege 1t has prob ably been to make assay tests of more high grade ore than any other assayer since the heyday in Virginia City. The strike has been made within few hun dred feet of the main tunnel of the the values are found in quartz identical to that in which the sensational strike of tellurium was recently made on the Bullfrog Extension property.
 On the Bullfrog Extension, the tunnel that is now in 190 feet has crossed vein S5 feet wide that gives assays of $40 per ton on an average; and there are four feet of ore in this vein. revealed by an upraise run from the tunnel, which averages better than Sl2000 per ton.
 The famous Alaska Treadwell mine, in Alaska. is grinding out dividends of over a million dollars Year from ore that does not average over three dollars per ton. and the consensus of opinion among noted engineers here is that the output of the Bullfrog Extension and the mines
