Lots In Westerleigh

Westerleigh is the most desirably
located suburb of Yorkville, and Is
close to the business centre OF the
town.
1t is the only place within the cor
porate limits where a negro can buy a
suitable building lot at a reasonable
price.
Already some thirty-five or more
lots have been bought by substantial
negroes.
There are only about fifty more lots
for sale.
The prices are low, very low consid-
ering the value, and the terms are
easily within the means Of any indus
trious laborer.
Negroes who desire to invest in lots
for the purpose of building homes, or
for the purpose of getting good profits
within a year or two should see me
for particulars.

JUDGE PENNEwILL's DECISION.

Z I Is announced in most authoritative way
Il that Judge Pennewill has definitely decides
TO not allow the use of his name in the senatorial
contest Such decision was reached by Judge
PennewilL it is said, after giving careful consider
alton to the earnest and sincere appeals of his
many friends that he lay aside the judicial err
>mine and enter field Of greater arrivity There
can be no question that as a Senator Judge Pen
newill would compare favoraby win the leading
men in the Senate and the ablest men our State
ever sent TO that body, yet his success there
would be no more signal than is his record as
jurist. 1t is fact conceded everywhere and by
everybody, that Judge Pennewill has done much
10 raise the standard of the Delaware judiciary.
Exceptionally fitted by training, disposition and
fondness for judicial work. he has more than full
filed the expectations of his warmest admirers.
His choice is to remain Judge position in every
way congenial to him. and he believes his field
of best work and greatest usefulness is on the
bench Disappointing to many as is Judge Pen
newills decision on the senatorial matter, yet his
best friends concede to him the right to consult
his personal wishes in such a matter. They feel
that the State will not suffer by his action, for
whatever may be Delawares loss by not having
him in the Senate, it will gain much more by his
remaining the bench and the promotions he

PASS FOR LIFE"
IS RECALLED
Man Who Saved a Train al
Risk Of Life Loses His
Only Reward

ST JOSEPH, NO, Jan. Tin 1877 W.
T. shackelford rislxed his life and saved
a crowded passenger train from rum
ming into a ravine on the main line Of
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Railroad, and was rewarded by the
corporation with a pass over its lines
for life"
Yesterday Shackelford was officially
informed that the pass was recalled.
and now he says he hopes to live to
cast his vote for government ownership
Of railroads.
Shackelford's heroic act took place
near Quincy. He was n farmer there,
and the Burlington tracks ran through
his farm. A trestle bridge spanned
the ravine, which was deep and rocky,
with n small stream running in the
bottom.
Shackelford had come to the belief
that the bridge might be undermined
by a freshet Rains swelled the stream
into racinN torrent, and Shakelford
became so restless with alarm for the
safety Of the trains that he could not
sleep.
He went out with lantern, and ap-
preaching the railroad found the bridge
broken. He knew that a late passenger
train was almost due at the bridge. and
he ran TO hold 1t up.
1t was necessary for him to cross the
tottering structure, and he reached the
opposite side just as 1t was carried
away by the torrent.
shackelford was just in time to save
the train. which stopped with the loco
motive only u few feet from the edge
of the ravine.
The farmer refused a subscription
from the passengers. but accepted The
life pass offered by the railroad. Shack.
clifford has used the pass only about Z
score of times. and in each instanc'
only for a short run.
He said that the recall of The pass
meant little In a material way TO him
but that he placed a high sentiments
value on It.

WHISKEY MEN TO
FIGHT Mr.. WILSON
Makers Of Blended Goods o.
ieCt to SeCretary'S InterpTe-
tatiOn Of Pure Food Law
QUESTION OF A DEFINITION

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. Lines
are being drawn for a fight between
the Agricultural Department.. which is
charged with the enforcement Of the
Pure Food law. and manufacturers Of
blended whistles. 1t is a fight along
the same lines as the contest when Dr.
II. w. Wiley. chief chemist of the de-
partment, declared three years ago that
so-called blended whiskles were not
straight" Manufacturers of bottled
in bond whiskey hailed this as an en-
dorsement Of their goods.
Secretary Wilson, DR.. Wiley and c..
p. McCabe, solicitor Of the department,
are now on a trip of inspection to dis
tillerles in Pennsylvania and elsew here
TO gain information as TO methods of
whiskey manufacture. Before leaving
Secretary Wilson rendered a decision
on what constitutes blended whiskey"
It's effect is to compel manufacturers
of several well known brands to label
their product limitation whiskey" or
compound whiskey," which they as
sert is a hardship.
The Pure Food law defines the term
"blend' as meaning "a mixture of like
substances, not excluding harmless coll
oring or fiavoring ingredients used for
the purpose of coloring and favoring
only" Whiskey blenders considered
that the law protected them from doing
more than merely advertising their
goods as blended"
The first chance Secretary Wilson
had to apply the law he ruled. in effect
that like substances" in a blend meant
the mixture Of whiskey and whiskey.
Neutral spirits and whiskey, he held
were not like substances" The ques-
tion came up on the submission OF
samples. One contained fifty-one per
cent of bourbon whiskey and forty-nine
per cent of neutral spirits. The Other
contained hfty-one per cent of neutral
spirits and forty-nine per cent of bour-
bon whiskey Both had burnt sugar
for coloring and prune juice for flavor
ing. Neutral spirits" to the chemist
means alcohol.
"The DEPARTMENT is OF opinion" said
Mr. Wilson, that the mixture present
ed cannot legally be labelled either
blended whiskies' or blended whiskey
The use Of the plural of the word
iwhiskey in the first case is evidently
improper, Tor the reason tnNl lhett ~
only one whiskey in the mixture. II
neutral spirit, also known as cologne
spirit silent spirit, or alcohol, be di-
luted with water TO proper proof for
consumption and artihcially colored
and artifcially favored. it does not be
come a whiskey, but a spurious imi-
tation' thereof. not entirely unlike that
defined in Section S,244, Revised sta
tutes. The mixture Of such an imitar
ton with a genuine article cannot b,
regarded as a mixture Of like sub
stances within the letter and intent o.
the law"
Secretary Wilson's opinion mean.
that he win prosecute those who fai
to follow it. but the courts have fina
authority. and no doubt a test case vii
soon be made.

"POWER" HIS THEME
Speaker at earrick Meeting Depl0res
Spread Of Blaspheny.

Spread Of 5lasphemy.
Power" was the subject of a brill
liant address made yesterday before
the mems meeting at the Garrick The
atre by william M. Rouzee, a mission
worker from New York.
The speaker referred at length to the
growth of the Y. M. G. A. and the great
good being done by it, using it as an
example of power wisely directed. He
referred to the present prevalence Of
blasphemy and its increase and stated
that he was glad the Catholic Church
has taken up the task OF stopping the
habit through the organization of Holy
Name societies. To stop this evil and
to become thorough going Christians,
the speaker said, required power, and
that power could only come from God.
Mr.. Rouzee pointed out the marvellous
power of God, which is so great the in
finite mind cannot grasp 1t. The
speaker argued IL God could create
man through the wonderful work Of
nature. how much easier can He reach
into the darkness Of the grave and re-
surrect a body. God has a plan and
his resources are beyond comprehen-
sion. lie urged the men TO pray for
power TO avoid evil and TO walk in the
path Of righteousness. for once that
power entered their hearts they would
become true soldiers Of Christ.
During the meeting several "songs
IN the dark" we're sung and excellent
music was given.

Germs as the duPonts and the Blumenthals back

ing reason for the organization Of the company.
The new line will prove great attraction for

The Salvation Army in this city is,
and has been doing a good work. and
the good people Of the town should give
them a lift and help them along. II
doesn't make any difference whether
one approves Of all the Army's
methods or not, It is engaged IN doing
good, and certainly does no one any
harm. If it can reach down in the

and make a man Of him, it is hardly
worth while to bubble over the meth
DDS employed as long as they are
prompted by good motives.

We know of no other act or law in which the
thousands of railroad men of this country are so

kind of insurance for them and their families in
case Of misfortune by accidental injuries death.
They are, therefore, no doubt deeply appreciative
of the stand the President takes in regard to that
law, and his determination to have the law de-
cared constitutional by the court of last resort,
and thereby make it safe from the attacks later on
of the railroad companies.
The reason given for the law being unconstitu-
tional is that it undertakes to prescribe remedy
in a case that arises in and is confined to one
State, and not, therefore, in any way connected
with interstate traffic If that position be we'll
