Unexpected Results.

Temperance meetings were being
held in the town of R. In the
course of the lecture the speaker relat-
ed story of { man who drank in
toXicating liquors to such an extent
that at one time when he went to eX-
tinguish a lighted candle his breath
was SO full of alcohol fumes that when
it came into contact with the burning
candle 1t ignited and burned the man
to death
This story impressed many in the
audience, and especially an old Irish
man who was noted as being a very
hard drinker.
At the close of the lecture the old
Irishman arose and asked: Faith and
shure, and did the man baurn up"
Yes, the man burned up" the lee
turere informed him.
The Irishman said: Give me a BIZ
BILE"
All were now waiting for him to
sign the pledge. The Bible was hand
ed him, and with a very solemn tone
of voice he said:
Il swear by the Holy Bible I'll niver
go near candle when it's burning"

wHIsKEY AND ITS ORIGIN.
Facts About The Invention Of The ra-
 nous Irish Brand.

Facts About The Invention Of The ra- nous Irish Brand.
 The word whiskey Is of Irish origin. Indeed, the Irish claim that whiskey itself is of Irish origin, and. moreover, that the Irish taught the Scotch peo- pie how to make whiskey. As for the name. it springs from the Irish word uisgue which means water. The dis titled spirit was called oy the Irish In ancient times uisgue betha, or life giving water.
 Distillation is a process said to have been known to the Arabians in ramote ages, but the first author to speak of 1t explicitiy-and he speaks of it also as a recent discovery--was chemist who lived in the thirteenth century. Aronaldus Dc Villa Nova. Nova deemed distillation to be the universal .panacea which all ages had sought for in vain.
 The cry of modern degeneration was raised even in those far-off days, and a pupil of Nova. one Raymond Lul- ly of Majorac, accl1imed distilled waters as a divine emanation, declared that 1t was destined to revive the ener- gies of modern deer 'pitude." This aqua vitae, indeed. denoted the con summation of all things in the brain of Lully; 1t heralded even the end of the world!
 It is a legend of St. Patrick that he was the first who instructed the Irish in the art of distillation. Ger tain modern historians. however. hotly contest this, setting forth the evidence of authentic sources of information that St. Patrick was an exceedingly strict promoter of temperance. The argument is scarcely strong, for there is obviously nothing really antagonis- tic in the two ideas. Besides distilled spirit. whether brandy or whiskey as we know 1t today, was used in early ages for medicinal purposes and not as a beverage.

CAR RIDDLED WITH BULLETS
Gang of Men Bombard Pickett
 Springs Coach Twice
Tsirteen BuIIet HsIes Counted, But No 0ne is Injsred-west End Cars Also Attacked
 Later.

Riots. which have been anticipated sincs the beginning of the street car strike. began last night. ,.hen one car was completely riddied with bullets, shots were nred at another. and a third was bombarded with bricks and stones,
 The most serious riot occurred on the Pickett Springs line. shortly after 10 o'clock last night, when gang of men fired fusillade of shots into car No. 70. The shooting occurred at the switch, near the slaughter house, and judging from the rattle of fire arms, there must have been at least twenty mon in the crowd that formed the at- tacling party.
 There were only two passengers on the ear. both of whom were negroes, and both escaped uninjured. which is considered remarkable. as Captain Miles Smith. and Officers Glade. Russell Williams and Curtis. who were quick iy at the scene of the shooting. count ed fourteen places where bullets had entered the car.
 The parties who did the shooting made two attacks on the same car, the first fusilade being fired as the cas was going to the Springs. and from the right side of the tracks.
 As the car was returning, there was . second voIley from the left side o' the tracks, equally as fierce.
 On the car was motorman. conduct or and detective hired by the Tract ion Company, who returned the shots at the time of each attack.
 The officers were unable to find any. one who had been injured or to con. meet anyone with the sho. ting.
 Shots were also fired on a car on the West End line, on Bell Street, near Burkhard's store. This occurred about 11:45 o'clock. As in the former case by the time the officers reached the scene, the rioters had disappeared and no arrests could pc made.
 Reports were received to the effect that a car on the West End line had been bombarded with stones at Clay and May Streets The guilty parties could not be apprehended.
 As the result of street car collision at the Square yesterday morning short. ly after I o'clock Officers Dukes and Maher arrested Patrick Converse, John Bowdoin and c. M Phillips.
 The collision occurred as the result of q switch being turned the wrong way, causing one of the cars to TUT onto the wrong track. Little damage resulted. The men were released or bond furnished by the Traction Com. pany. 8

 Foul play Is strongly suspected in connection with the death of the youth whose remains were found in the woods near Lawrence, last week. ft was at first believed that the boy had been drowned during the recent over flow of the Coosa River, but the tracks of horse leading to and from the place. have led to the conclusion that the body was brought to this place on horseback. and left there in the effort to conceal a crime.
 No inquest or examina ton of the body was made. by which any marks of violence would have been discovered, the remains being inferred in the place where found.

ITO REFUND BONDS ADVANCE IN EFFECT
IRON RATE GOES UP TwENTY.rrvE
 CENTS.
Manufncturers and Consumers Both Asked fer . Further PostpOnement Until Accumulated Products
 Gould Be Moved Away.

Birmingham. April Especial. )- The advance of twenty-five cents per ton on pig Iron and cast iron pipe, besides other kindred products of the indus trial section of the State. which was announced several months ago, and through permission of the Interstate Commerce Commission was postponed. Is now In effect.
 The advance is on the products from the southern territory to the ohio Riv- CT. The rates north of that river were , advanced two months ago, ut a post. ponement was taken on two different occasions by permission of the Inter- state Commerce. Commission. The ad. vance means much for tn railroads, in . asmuch as the shipments are heavy from this section to points north of the Ohio River. The consumers pay th,. freight on Iron and kindred products. all contracts being based on iron f, 0. b. cars at furnaces.
 The manufacturers and consumers both asked for a further postponement in the advance of rates until the accu- .nuiated iron and other products brought about by the Inability of the sairoad companies to handle the pro- duct promptly could be moved away ~
 A meeting was held recently by the railroad officials in Louisville, and the only information that l, given out until today was that no permission had been requested of the Interstate Cam. merce Commission to postpone the ad. vance again. The advance was not sup- posed to go into effect until April g.. but prominent iron manufacturer ap- nounced today that the new rate was now on.
 In the same connection 1t was stated today that there was another spurt on the orc nmart, and that the demand was greater than the make. The firrt two days saw more than double the amount of iron sold than was roan,, factured.

Road Uniforms.


 The road uniforms of the local club have arrived and they are "beauts.' The color scheme Is unique and far dif- ferent from any ever used in this league. The suits are gray with a wide blue stripe. This stripe does not run crossways. but up and down the uniform.
 The uniform looks much better before the eye than the color scheme appears on paper. With this uniform black stockings. black caps and black belts will be work. The players are ali tickled over the arrival of the new uniform and all fitted on their new togs yesterday afternoon.
 The uniform will attract much at tention, no doubt, and the club will probably be voted the best looking on the field from an appearance view point The idea is a diversion from the hackneyed idea of solid ocolor and is very pretty.
