Not Ready for Free Alcohol.

The government will hardly be ready to
enter upon the experiment or free alco-
hol In the arts and manufacturers by the
time the law goes into effect January /,
next. Mr.. Yerkes, commissioner of in
ternal revenue, has taken a trip TO
Europe to learn how Germany and other
European countries handles the propo-
sition. He is not expected back until
late in September, and after his return
several months viii necessarily lie con-
sumed in preparing regulations for the
protection of the rrv"nus of the govern
ment before the manufacture and sale of
free alcohol can be permitted. Serious
doubts are entertained as to whetner the
.aw can be enforced so as to safeguard
tho federal revenues s,d prevent widely
diffuEed frauds, both against the govern
meft and the stonlaehs Il the pe1pis.
Alcohol for fuel purposes can be made
in some parts of the country for to
cents gallon. The disparity between
that figure and the price of tax-pald
spirits distilled from grain is so very
great that the temptation to beat the
tax" must inevitably lead to the com
mission Of frauds. Methods will be de-
vised for the reclamation of denatured
alcohol by washing" out the poison, and
the fear is that great quantities of cheap
and tainted spirits may find their way
into the drink market through the med
ium Of the low doggaries, thus directly
attacking the health of a considerable
part of the population. Washington au-
thorities estimate that about one-third
of the spirits produced In this country
finds its way into consumption without
payment Of revenue taxes.
The tax paid spirit average about l2S,-
600 900 gallons in the United states. III

A SERIOUS CHARGE
PeddIer Given Lodging at a Farm,
Attempts to ChIoroform and
Assault Servant Girl

Charter Oak. Aug. 20.-Quite SEN
sation was caused here in our town
Saturday night by the arrest of one
Joe Andrews. travelling peddler,
who has been frequenting this COM
munity, upon the complaint of Mary
Minder, a domestic in the employ of
one Ed. Myers, about five miles north
west of this place, charging him with
breaking and entering. 1t appears
that the peddler called at the home of
Myers for lodging, which was granted.
The family retired about 10 O'Clock.
and along some time later the COM
plainant was awakened by noise in
her room and the smell of something
akin to chloroform. She sprang out
of bed, struck a match and by its light
saw the defendant in her room. She
screamed and tried to escape through
the door, but was pushed aside and he
made. his escape, after being shot at
by another member of the family,
who heard the cutlery.
The girls room was locked, but the
peddler had effected his entrance by
removing screen. He was brought
before Justice Robertson, and put un-
der bonds for his preliminary hearing
on the 2lst inst, at this place. Mar

FALSE ALARM AT SANTIAGO
Report That Observatory Had Hoisted
Black Flag Causes Panic.

Santiago Chile, Aug. 22.-The popu-
lation of this city was thrown into a
condition OF great alarm as a result
of the circulation OF false news that
the observatory had announced a soc
ond horrible catastrophe to be imml-
nent. People would not SLEEP indoors,
and large numbers spent the night on
the streets and in the squares. The
alarm originated from some persons
declaring they had seen the black
flag, the sign of danger, flying from
the observatory, which is situated on
San Cristobal hill. The shrieking of
steam sirens announcing danger also
added to the alarm and the police, in
stead of calming the people. lost their
heads and added to the terror. Presi-
dent Riesca wrote letter to the di-
rector of the observatory asking for
an explanation. The director an
swered that the whole thing was a
misarprehension on the part of the
people.

THE SODA WATER BUG.
Boston Woman Swallows One And
Sues for $1,000.

New York, Aug. Is. Everybody
has heard of the green bottle bug.
But the soda water bottle bug is a
new one. 1t is the Old Pop of them
all. Still, bottle bug by any other
name is just as unpalatable.. At
least so says Miss Evelyn Metcalf of
Boston, who has just sued a bottling
company here for $1,000, alleging
that she drank large bug in bottle
of soda. She further states that it
caused her much pain, anguish and
discomfort. of course, ''fizzical''
discomfort. This was in Boston.
If she had been used to drinking
Croton water with Croton bugs she
would not have been so peevish. AL
SO if she had got it free she wouldn t
have cared so much. But she paid a
nickle for the bug. The water was
charged" so it must have been the
bug she paid for.
Miss Metcalf didn't order any bug.
True, one doesn't order cherry or an
olive in a cocktail, though one may
expect it. But it doesn't follow that
a lady expects bug in a bottle of
soda water. 1t is not intimated that
Miss Metcalf is blind, so she couldn' t
have been looking on the soda water
when it was fizzy or she would have
seen the large, black and discomfort
ing bug she complained of and would
have had the waiter carry it behind
the counter, when he could have fish
ed it out with thumb and finger before
returning to her.

MANILA EDITOR ATTACKED
Mallory Morgan's Humor Not Appre-
ciated by Billiard Hall Proprietor.

Manila, Aug. 2O.-As an aftermath
to the recent base ball tournament, a
personal encounter took place between
Mallory Morgan. editor of the Manila
Republican, and L. G. Miller, pro-
prietor of billiard hall here 1t is
claimed that Miller was the aggressor
and assaulted the newspaper man,
having been provoked by a humorous
article appearing IN the Manila Re-
publican in relation to a certain game.
Under the caption, First Epistle
of Paul" Morgan, in one of the twen-
ty-seven verses. said: "And the next
game taketh place in the city of

suckers of that place are elated at the
success of their club and are ready to
stake the town upon the result, and

And the town of Fakes taketh
over strong battery and the best
players of the country around, while

of Graft filleth his nine with poor

1t is understood that Miller took
umbrage at the imputation that the
players under his management had
been filled with BOOZE which pre-
cipitated the trouble. Very little

Valparaiso, Aug. 22.-Slight shocks
are continuing. The people have not
yet returned to their homes, but are
sleeping on the surrounding hills and
in tie streets and squares. The fires
have all been extinguished. More
than 100 men, taken in the act of COM
hitting robbery, have been shot.
The authorities of Valparaiso have
taken over the feeding of the people
and provisions are being brought in
from places that we're not destroyed.
The loss of life by the earthquake
of Thursday, Aug. 16, probably will
not be short of 800, while the property
destroyed is estimated at $100,000,000
and possibly is far in excess of that
sum.

DESTROY EMPTY CIGAR BOXES
Few merchants are aware of new
law which went into effect last July.
One merchant in nearby city is al
ready grieving on account of his ig-
norance of the law to the extent of
heavy fine that was imposed upon
him. Heretofore it had been GUS
tomary to scratch the stamp of a CT
gar box, and if he so desired, to give
1T away or do with it as he saw fit so
long as the stamp was destroyed. But
this is no longer the case. The mer-
chant or dealer must destroy the box
Immediately after the cigars are
gone. He must at once remove the
box from the case and break it up.
The law may sound queer, but be
sure that it is needed or you will be
caught before you know it.-Ex-
