MISS ALICE HAS DOUBLE.

washington Correspondence Chicago
Post).
A debt of gratitude is due Senorita
Mercedes Godoy from Mrs. Alice Long
worth.
Senorita Godoy looks so much like
Miss Roosevelt that not more than half
the people of Washington, and COM
paratively few strangers, can tell the
butant daughter of the Mexican minis
ter At the last White House recep-
ton the Mexican girl appeared and
all the evening she was followed, re-
marked upon and stared at in semi
polite way by the thronging multitude,
which thought she was the presidents
daughter.
The object of all this attention
speaks very little English, and it is
supposed that at first she had no idea
why she was being mobbed. Finally,
however, some one told her. and then
she entered into the spirit of the thing
and carried gu. the part forced upon
her from sheer love of the adventure.
Present at the reception were fully
fifty schoolgirls who are attending
some of the fashionable educational
institutions in Washington. They had
no thought that Senorita Mercedes
was any other than Miss Alice, and,
like the languishing maidens in pa
tience," they gave themselves over r.
a sort of schoolgirl alteration. Some
one unkindly undeceived them Late
in the evening" and the girls We're half
angry and half fearful
Meanwhile Miss Roosevelt, in a cor
ner of the blueroom, was escaping at
tention save from the members of the
receiving party and from a few special
ly invited guests who were allowed en-
trance to the apartment where the
general public does not dare trespass.

SUIT AGAINST UNCLE
Did Nol Gel Portion q Estate
 Len By New York Woman.

John 0'Hara, a clerk in Shows hsh market on South Main street. has brought suit against his uncle. John O'Hara, . nswsdealer and politician in Derby. for $1.5o0. Michael O'Hara of Ansonia and Sarah O'Hara of Clon- cona. Killimor. Galway county. Irs- land. have also instituted suit against their uncle for $1.000 and $2,000 re- spectively. They allege. through their counsel. Attorney E. P. Guil-
 foile. that they are heirs of Kate O'Hara who died In New York city some time ago, leaving an estate and
 that the defendant was appointed to administer 1t.
 It seems the administrator was di- latory in the performance of his duties and the matter went before the surrogate of Manhattan and there it was threshed out in great detail. The defendant put in claims amount ing to about $2.50O for services. but the surrogate disallowed 1t.
 John O'Hara and his brother Mich ael claim their portion of the estate is $716.13 each, while the lady in Ireland was allowed 41.482.42. The surrogate in Manhattan allowed these amounts and gave judgment for them against the administrator de- fendant, and they assert that while
 their uncle has assets on hand be-
 longing to the estate sufficient to pay their portions, he has refused to do
 SO. Money belonging to him in the
 banks in Shelton, Derby and Ansonia
 has been attached. The suit is re- turnahle to the superior court the
 first Tuesday in January.

HELLstANN BREWING PLANT.
Important Alterations to Be Made in
 the Near Future.

Important Alterations to Be Made in
 the Near Future.
 Plans and specifications have been prepared and contracts will shortly be awarded by the Hellmann Brewing company, for extensive and import ant additions to and changes in their plant in the Brooklyn district. The past season's business has been the largest and most successful the com pany ever had, and the plant has been almost continually taxed to its utmost capacity. The prospects of continued vigorous and extending business have caused the company to plan to have these additions and i'm provements made before the warm weather and busy season arrive.
 The estimated expense of the pro- posed changes is about $25,OO0 and will give the brewery capacity of about 100000 barrels yearly.
 An important addition will be the installing of large storage room for the proper aging of the products. This will include eight immense chip casks. A new fermenting room will also be added to the plant. This will contain ten vats, capable of holding 15O barrels each. A large beer filter will also be added, to. gether with another big washing ma chine suitable for washing everything from small lager to large ale pack. ages.
 A new 15O ton ice-making ma. chine lone of the largest in New England) has recently been contract. ed for. This will nave capacity of ninety tons of ice per day. With the three other ice machines already in use the plant will have a capacity of 160 tons of Ice per day.
 An idea of the business done by this local brewery can be had when 1t is stated that during the year oi 1906, the company received 9S large car loads of material for use in the manufacture of their products. There are seventy-five men on the payroll besides an office force of nine. The company has a stable of B horses and make deliveries with 3-horse. sil double and eight single wagons. The brewmaster of the plan is Ed ward Neschke, skillful and widely known in his line. Mir Neschke will have charge of all the important changes contemplated.
 The officers of the company ars Mrs Martin Hellmann. president; w n. Richardson, treasurer; and c. M Hellmann, secretary.

A year or two ago the city did con siderable work on the Waterville road. Mrs Ida Sackett lives on that thoroughfare and she claimed at the time that the workmen cut on slice of her land. She could not convince the city officials of this however. The surveyors for the city think them selves infallible, 1t seems, but Mrs Sackett has no such idea of their ability and she brought suit against the. city for 5000 damages. This suit was started yesterday In the su- perior court.

JAPANESE FISHERMEN
 STILL AT ATTU ISLAND
Oriental Squad Driven Off by Gutter Perry Last Summer Returned
 Immediately.

Work for the cutter Perry l, already cut ou, by the same troop of Japane C fishermen she drove from Attn island last summer. The Perry routed the little brown men without ceremony burned their camp on the island and came away torcport go good job speed, iIy done. The cunning Orientals sailed 30 few leagues To the westward and calculating nicely that the cutter would not return were back in few days in their chosen resort. Since then they have been pursuing their vocation peacefully and industriously without interference from any source.
 This news came 10 Seward on the Dora, the facts having been reported lately at Unalaska by American fisher, men arriving from the westward a short time ago.
 Attu island is at the extreme west ern end of the Aleutian chain. 1t is so far west that it lies in east longi- tude. about l72 from Greenwich. It is nearerJapan than it is to Seattle and is not far from the great circle path of Seattle Japan steamship liners.
 Revenue cutters may come and go but the destruction of a few Japanese fishing outfits, more or less, seems un- likely to discourage Oriental fataiists, even of the humble coolie class, who believe that whatever happens is sim ply in the process of nature. They will keep on coming even if few of them are killed,

Arrivals in Seward Tell of Rich Dig gings Recently Found on Differ

Favorable reports from the Yentna district were brought down this week by two arrivals. H. Anderson, who went in with John Mcdonald last win ter, returned from the upper Yentna river, where he prospected extensively this spring. On one creek he took out $7 a day with rocker. This was on creek near the head of navigation, we'll up toward the mountain range.
 William Jones came. down from Peters creek, where thS>frst gold dis covery on the Kahiltna or its branches was made nearly two years ago. He has been working a new claim there and took out repeatedly from ' to 10 cents pan. He states that men were beginning active work there before he left and that several of them had al- ready secured good results.
 Both men are going back in few days
