old Time Whisky Has Ne "Jim Jams''
 LOUISVILLE, Ky. Dec. 12.-Colonel Thompson, who spoke for the straight whisky interests at the pure food hearing, engaged the interest of the commissioners and the audience from the beginning. People who drank the old time whisky" said Colonel Thomp, son, did not have stomach disorders as they have now from drinking rec, tifed whisky. An old whisky is better than a new. The older it is the better and more wholesome 1t Is. Before the introduction of whiskies made from high wines or rectlfied cologne spirits with oils and fiavoring extracts a man never had the jim jams.' He never drank to excess. His wife allowed him to stay at home. One drink did not create thirst for another. The average man did not set drunk.' He then explained the process by which this whisky is made.

Star Witness Kelly Says Prisoner
 Wanted . Dynamite Handler.
 CHICAGO. Dec 12.-Evidence was brought in the Shea trial here that President Shea during the strike of the teamsters seriously considered the use of dynamite as means of winning the strike.
 Michael Kelly, who was in charge of one of the squads of pickets. testified that Shea asked him if he knew of any body who could handle dynamite. He also said that knives were given out to the pickets with instructions that they were to be used on colored men who had t,s:en the places of the strikers and also for the purpose of cutting harnesses.
 The attorneys for the defense made strong fight against the admission of this testimony of Kelly, but Judge Ball decided that it was admissible.

PORTO RICO MESSAGE.
Shoot and Mormonism Dis
 cussed In Senate.
CORTELYOU AND GARFIELD HELD UP.
Senators Insist Upon Knowing From President Roosevelt When Secre- taries Shaw and Hitchcock
 Will Leave Cabinet.


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The ques- ton of Senator Reed Shoots right to a seat as United States senator from Utah was discussed by Senator Bur- rows In the senate. Senator Shoot oc- cupied his place in the chamber. No Interruptions were made during the entire speech, which was an arraign- ment of Mormonism's responsibility which attached to Mir. Shoot for Nor mon principles as member of the apostolic body of the church. Mark Twain was an interested listener in the galleries.
 Senator Dubois announced that he should address that body tomorrow on resolution declaring that Senator Reed Shoot is not entitled to seat as senator from Utah.
 The finance committee of the sen ate considered the nominations of Postmaster General George B. Cortel- you to be secretary of the treasury and of James R.. Garfield to be secretary of the interior.
 The point was raised that no vacan- cy existed in either of the cabinet of fees named and that no definite infor- nation was at hand as to when va cancy would occur The committee, therefore, decided to postpone action until more definite information was had.
 Stand pat on spelling was Represent ative Keifer's plea during the course of a speech he made in the house. He said that for the first time in the his tory, of the country it was proposed to legislate on the proper use of the Eng fish language iD the public prints. You will be compelled to spell accord ing to law, according to Webster's or some other standard dictionary" he re- marked, and added, ''The author of Shakespeare's plays and sonnets was not much of a speller, and he used only a vocabulary of 15.000 words"
 The president has sent congress spe- cial message on Porto Rico, giving the results of his observations during his recent visit to that island. ''I found the scenery there wonderfully beautiful" he says. especially among the noun tains of the interior, which constitute a veritable tropic Switzerland" The president was also deeply impressed by the fertility of the island and by its admirable government" He praises especially the showing of the schools in the eleven towns he visited and the insular police and native troops. It would be mistake from every standpoint to discontinue the Porto Rican regiment, he declares. He found the fruit, sugar cane and tobac- co industries to be growing rapidly. but was disappointed in the coffee crop. which has not recovered from the ef- fleets of the hurricane of some years ago. He requests congress to take some action for the benefit of ''the ex- cellent and high grade Porto Rican to- bacco." Continuing. he says: "There is a matter to which wish to ! call your special attention, and that is the desirability of conferring full ! American citizenship upon the people of Porto Rico. I most earnestly hope 1, that this will be done"

All that week Rosa stayed in the
domestic portion of the pawnshop and
made herself useful in cooking and
cleaning. Hagar questioned her close
ly concerning the events which had
taken place on the night of the murder
in the house at Bedford Gardens and
elected certain information which gave
her great satisfaction. This she COM
municated to Horval when he one day
paid her a hurried visit. When in pos
session of the facts Horval looked at
her with admiration and on taking his
leave he paid her compliment.

dered Rosa to come with her.
Hagar took Rosa as 1ar as luke

''NER0'' IN RHODE ISLAND
Big Newfoundland Formerly the Prop
 eTty of nary ". Moses.

Nero, the big Newfoundland dog so long the property of Harry w. Moses, former sanitary inspector. is now To- cated on farm in Rhode Island, and is the pride of the whole district. Nero was the finest dog of that breed in Waterbury. but after MT Moses retired from public office he had no use for the animal and he sold him to F. w. Connor of Baldwin street, who kept him on farm in Oakville, where he was we'll thought of. until one fine Sunday afternoon, when Mir Connor was entertaining some friends and the dog committed a breach of the peace or theft, which ever you care to call it, which cost him the confidence of his new owner. Among the good things prepared for the guests was a beautiful roast of beef which was slowed away dn the cooler awaiting the convenience of the waiter. Whether the door was left open or not does not appear, but in any case Nero got his head into the refrigerator and made off with the roast just as the waiter was
  about to remove 1t to the table. The dog trotted off into the meadows with the roast and although the waiter called to him he took no notice of her. and the guests had to get along without that part of the bill of fare. This sort of thing made Mir Connor angry, and while some claimed that probably Nero thought the tooth some morsel was left there for him and didn't hear the waiter tell him to drop it, it was all to no avail and the big house dog had to find another home, which a friend secured for him far away from his old haunts. Notwithstanding all that MT Connor said of Nero. he is very valuable animal and the people who have him now wouldn't part with him for love or money.
