ciety item relating to the Southland
Hoffmans. falls into several errors. Og-
den Hoffman was judge of the United
States District Court at San Francisco
from its esta blishment to his death,
fully forty years. He was never mar
ried. He was a son of Ogden Hoff-
man of New York one of the ablest
lawyers noted in American history, and
was himself a distinguished man-of
great erudition and with a remarkable
power of expression. His judicial
career was brilliantly and continuously
successful. Southland Hoffman, an ac-
complished and popular gentleman,
was one of Judge Hoffman's nephews
or cousins. He was for years the clerk
in the u. S. District Court, and he is
also the head of a family which stands
very high in society.

The large commercial test of her pat
ent was not commenced on December
g. 1905, as was expected. 1t is prob
ably going on now at Mt. Sto1l's distil-
cry, near Lexington. 1t was consider
ID best preliminarily to have some
ests made at the University of Ken
lucky. in addition to many successful
ests by Professor HiIgard of the Uni
7ersity of California. This was done
nd resulted very favorably. If the
egal question, as to whether any
to the existing internal
evenue laws is necessary to the COM
'lete application of the patent in large
Iistilleries. should be decided mega tive
V, the best authorities agree that the
INVENTION covered by the patent is of
reat immediate value. This question
ill soon be settled by the Commits
Toner of Internal Revenue at Wash |
