below those for July last year
than to the strong exhibit OF

DEATH OF DENNIS KERMEY
Where the Sand Lot Orator got the

Eioquence

The death of Dennis Kearney re.

his crowd out in the sand lots and
rouse them against the Mob Hill peo-
pie with his rough and ready eloQu.
ence.
But kerney did not originate the
spectacular invective which he hurled
against the rich.
He was a natural orator, but he
never attracted much attention until
Chester Hull newspaper writer
picked him up and wrote his speeches
for him.
1t has been denied that the
speeches were written for him, but
the writer saw many of them before
they were deliverd in the sand lots.
null wrote them few days before
they were delivered and many of the
newspaper men along Clay street saw
them and often suggested some start
ling phraze which later on caught
the fancy of the mob.

audience as the expression Hell

garded by Hull as one of his best, and
The Chinese must CO.
| 1t drew forth cheers from the sand
lotters and was used frequently by
Kerney for he knew how to cater to
his listeners.
| He was a power at one time in
California and his oratory often
reused his followers to pitch of
frenzy which required the. watchful-
ness OF the police to prevent a riot
starting, the waves of which would
have washed up along the sides of
Mob Hill and might have gone clear
over the top. 1t is said that kerney
in some mysterious way grew rich
out of the agitation he created.

Denatured Alcohol.

The editor of the Indiana Farmer
is very earnest in his efforts to show
the benefits and the need of dena-
tured alcohol, and also how it is done
elsewhere and ought to be done here
One Of the chief benefits that it was
believed had been secured in the pass
age of the new alcohol bill by con-
gress was that it would enable far
mers to turn waste products into a
profit, such as cheap and damaged
potatoes, damaged corn, fruit, beets,
etc. This it seems will be defeated
under the rulings of the Commission
er Of Internal Revenue, which provid
es that the manufacture is to be limit
ed to distilling plants making not less
than five hundred gallons per day,
thus cutting off small farm and CO.
operative farm plants, which could
use UP these waste products in max
ing smaller quantity as they do in
Germany. Consular reports from Ger
many state that there are 72,I72 al
cohol distilleries in that country, of
which 57,3o5 are small farm plants,
which gather up and use many ar
ticles that would otherwise be wasted.
These small farm distil1eries make
from 1872 to I64 gallons year each,
and the large plants from 10000 to
10000 gallons a year each
These facts suggest the importance
Of amending the alcohol bill by the
