two punches received aggregate
two and a half pounds in weight.
The grapes are quite large, well

success Of Mrs. Hill in growing
such fine grapes should encourage
others in this section to do likewise.
A very pleasant happening of
Saturday evening last was sur
prise party rendered by number
of her friends to Miss Eta Kow-
alski, at the home of her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Kowalski.
The unexpected, though undoubt-
eddy most welcome, guests enjoyed
q delightful time with music, both
instrumental and vocal while some
engaged in card plavin. Tempt
ing refreshments consisting OF ca.>,
bon. bons and lemonade, were serv-
ed Those participating in this
enjoyable affair were Misses Annie

The good work of sanitation IS
being pushed energetically by
Mayor Combe, assisted by City
Physician Layton. Six and half
barrels Of oil was distributed over
standing water in the up
per part of town the past few
days. Today a house to house
crusade was begun by the force OF
inspectors carrying oil cans, and
all cicterns or other containers of
water at the houses visited were
treated Literally with oil. This
may not improve the flavor of the
water, but it is death to mosqui-
toes, and as a little kerosene oil is
said TO be good for the human sys-
TEN none should object to it.
Mayor Combe set a good example
by taking the inspectors to his own
home first and having them to APP
ply the oil TO his cistern.-
News of the promotion of Major
Geo. +. Cooke, 23rd. Infantry,
commanding officer at Fort Brown,
is expected soon. The major now
stands az the top of the list of
majors in the army. His many

proud to salute him as lieutenant

Officer, or more courteous gentle

Albert Meyer. Frenchmsn, Of 1869 West

play at the Italian concert In Carnegie Hall

slept In the Tombs and his wife said un-

Il was Albert's skill with the violin that
caused all tho trouble. About a year ago
he was playing at the Burger Brau Cafe, IN
i26th street Among the audience was a
tall lady with black eyes and attractive
figure. She was Miss Hermine Emile, also
French and a music lover, who lives at III
West Eighty-frst street. From that night
Albert held her soul captive. One day
according to Hernine, he went to her filled

Hermine says she gave Meyer the money
and he departed and never returned. That
was on Dec. % last. Four months later
she says she heard for the first time that
he had married another.
Il would not have cared so much about
that, said Miss Emile with a sob, If he

On Saturday Miss Emile told her sorrows
TO Assistant District Attorney Appleton.
He got a warrant for Meyers arrest and
Detective Mcknight found him Yesterday
afternoon at home and took him to the

obtaining money on false representation.

Of Gen. p. II. Sheridan. Secretary Taft
and Senator Wetmore Of Rhode Island,
the Sheridan statue project, instituted
in 1889 by the Society Of the Army OF the

decided that Secretary Taft should ask
the society to turn over the money il has
secured for the erection Of the statue and
combine il with the $4,000 appropriated
by Congress. Secretary Taft will ask
Congress for an additional $4,000.
Inc Society Of the Army Of the Cumber-

ton from Congress there will be about

some equestrian statue can be erected for
that sum, II will be placed in Sheridan
Circle here. Mrs. Sheridan has built
residence on the circle.
Two models for the statue have been
made. but neither has proved satisfactory.
Both were by j. Q. A. Ward. The first he

The Truth
about Whiskey.
Rye whiskey is made Of

Rye whiskey is made OF
rye grain moistened and
heated until the starch in
the grain is developed. Rye
or barley malt is then added
to the mash and a chemical
change takes place, turning
the starch into sugar. This
last mixture is fermented by
the use Of yeast and the pro.
duct, now technically known
as the beer" is sent
through a still and then
again through a second cop
per still, from which we get
whiskey-a high-proof color
less liquid. This liquid at
the distillery is put into oak
barrels charred on the inside
to open the pores Of the
wood, thus permitting the
tannin in the oak to come
more quickly in contact with
the whiskey, and in the course
Of time becomes the beautiful
amber colored fluid known
as Rye Whiskey. This pro-
cess seems simple. The
secret is in the way it is done
and in the quality Of the
material used.
66U1V Pure Rye Whiskey
is the standard for excellence
in whiskey Because in the
HAU7U distillery
ONLY THE BEST RYE GRAIN
is USED.
ONLY THE BEST AND HIGH
EST PRICED BARLEY MALT Is
USED.
Only the best oak that
can be bought is used for
the barrels. The H5U7Y
methods have never been
equalled.
All this has and does cost
money, but it has made the
reputation of &1bMl( Pure
Rye Whiskey; it has made
the AAsU71 distillery the
largest producer of High
Grade Rye Whiskey in the
world.

book. We read in~stinctively the charac-
ter of an individual in the lines of the
face, the expression of the eyes, the con-
tour of the mouth. Here is what a crit
ical study of Mr.. Sage's face reveals, as
seen by George Nox Mccain:
"The eye of Russell Sage denotes
t%ruthfulness; it also marks a mar of
make money. 1t is the eye of one who
has exceedingly keen perceptive facul-
ties. 1t is also the eye of a man who is
instinctively religious. This may seem
a remarkable deduction, but no one trait
expressed in Russell Sage's face is more
distinctly outlined than that of inherent
religious feeling. 1t is shown in the
deep-set eye, the width of the middle
ear, the length of face from the tip of the
nose to the top of the forehead.
Russell Sage is slow to anger and his
eye is the reverse of a boaster. The
coarse. bushy eyebrows indicate O coarse,
rugged nature; not an ~unlovely nature,
crookedness, of lying. 1t is a face which
marks keenness, the driving of hard bar
gains, and great Will power.
Russell Sage has been ambitious. He
has also been a dreamer. The success
he has achieved in acquiring great
wealth indicates that his ambitions and
his dreams have been along hat line. A
deep-set eye marks the dreamer; the
eyes close together, one who can keep
secrets. Oddly enough, too. whatever
men may say of his companionable quail
tiles. Russell Sage has always had a de-
sire to please and win the regard of
men.
According to the pysiognomist, If his
outward life has not always Indicated
these traits, IL is because he has per-
mitted circumstances to thwart his nat
ural desires. All told, Russell Sage has a
good face, albeit there shows in it a pre-
dominance of coarse lines which
might have been softened had Russell
Sage cultivated literature, music or the
kindred arts"
But he had no time for this. Newspa-
per readers will remember the storm
of Indignation which swept the country
a year ago over a magazine article by
Mr.. Sage. in which he opposed the an
nual vacation of the toiier. And yet Mr..
Sage only voiced his firm belief when he
expressed himself in these words:
Il think the vacation habit is the out
growth of abnormal. or distorted. bust
ness methods. | fail to see anything le-
climate in it."
