PORTLAND. Me-. Jan. 3o.-Sheriff
Pennelrs force of liquor deputies to-
night discovered in a notorious kitchen
bar which they We're raiding a book
which contained accounts for liquors
sold to more than hundred members
of Portland's smart set." The book
in which the charges were filed was
an old social register" of New York S
400. The names IL this column were
used as a cipher code to represent Port
land people who were in the same COM
parative social scale, and there was a
key near the hook which contained the
names of the local people.
A number attached to each one of
these referred to a corresponding num-
Der with its name in the Social Regis
ter For instance. Mrs. John Jacob
Astor was charged with four barrels
of beer in the Social Register and was
numbered. 20. while No. 20 in the key
referred to a prominent Portland
woman.
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish had two quarts
of whisky and two cases of beer
charged up to her name. but the cor
responding number in the key referred
to a man.
1.-THE dive" where the seizure was
made is on Free street. in the toughest
headquarters for pocket peddlers, and
interstate liquor smugglers. 1t seems
to have done a thriving business with
the wealthy customers.

was very large attendance at the
Emeryville track today, great interest
being taken in the Tigress handicap,
in which Kercheval winner of the
Burns, again met Nealon and again was
ridden to victory.
The defeat of Durnells crack was in
the face of every advantage through
out the race. Nealon for some reason
or other was played down to an odds
on choice, Kercheval receding to as
good as to /.
Nealon had no excuse for his defeat
and although he was bothered some
near the finish by Dusty Miller, the
favorite was beaten at that time. Dusty
Miller made a grand effort and was
only beaten a neck after forcing the
pace, the favorite coming in third.

WIFE GIVES AWAY HIS
TROUSERS AND MONEY

DRESDEN, Jan. 3O.--A prosperous
farmer living near Meissen, Saxony,
some time ago mentioned to his wife
his intention of discarding pair OF
neither garments, and in his absence
the wife gave them away to a needy
individual who asked for left-off cloth
ing. When the husband on his return
heard of this he was furious. Being
clandestinely addicted to gambling he
had had a secret pocket sewn into his
trousers, where he kept his working
capital in paper money and as 1t hap
pened, a considerable sum which he
had recently won at cards. This he
had kept strictly from the knowledge
of his spouse, an austere lady with
pronounced anti-gambling views. The
farmers whole anxiety was now con-
centrated, not on the money, which
he could we'll afford to lose, but on
the fear that the recipient OF the
trousers might perchance turn out to
be an honest fellow, bring the money
back and so betray the secret to his
wife. Strange to relate. the unex-
pected happened. The other day our
friend received a letter from Dresden,
In which the writer stated that he
had found the money, and with 1t had
commenced a profitable trade He was
now able to pay off part of what he
considered as his debt, promising fur
ther instalments later on, II being his
firm intention TO pay off the inVolun-
tary loan with interest,

.SHEEK WINS
FROM DALTON
MEENEY-IRvIN BATTLE ENDS
IN THE NINTH
Turk stops His Opponent In the Sec
ond Round-ohink Sent to
Sleep In the
First

Twenty-eight rounds of the scheduled
forty-eight were fought at Maud juno
ton pavilion last night. Three of this
bouts went the limit, one was stopped
in the ninth and the other two resulted
in knockouts.
Jimmy Irwin and Eddie Meeney prob
ably furnished the greatest excitement
and when Billy Walsh called for a halt
in the ninth his action proved popular
Irwin Is surely q game little youngster
but Meeney was making n Choppins
block of him. and the battle could not
have possibly resulted in anything but
a decision for Meeney. Those who
would see man butchered appeared
discontented, though they were in the
minority.
The battle was in large measure SINH
lar to that between Irwin and Scotty
Johnson some months ago. 1t was to
be seen Immediately that Meeney was
far the cleverer but Irwin is glutton
for punishment and made no attempt to
block Meeneys leads, charging with
lowered head and swinging arms.
The third round proved spectacular.
Irwin let drive right which landed
flush on Meeney's jaw, bouncing him to
the ropes. Eddie was Visibly discon-
certed and Irwin flew after him. The
little fellow. however, did not have the
strength and was soon weak from his
exertions. Meeney too was not overly
strong, and the boys staggered about
the ring helpless. so far as offensive
tactics were concerned.
To the ninth Irwin was simply a
punching bag, though Meeney could not
stow him away. With Jimmy receiving
countless blows to the head, Walsh
stepped between the men and awarded
Meeney a decision.
Frank Sheek turned the trick on Kid
Dalton after ten rounds of lively mix
ing. Dalton had Sheek to the bad in
the fifth round when he landed right
to the solar plexus. Sheek doubled up,
and it appeared as though he was in
trouble. He regained his footing, how
ever and scored throughout the battle
to Dalton's head, receiving a decision.
Tommy Leahy again proved that he
has missed his calling. After sending
Swanson to the floor twice in the first
round of their six period bout he
evinced no desire to win, and the will
ing little Swede deserved the draw
which resulted. Swanson had no chance
against Leahy's weight and did not
exhibit hitting powers sufficient to
make a first class preliminarian.
All Wing, the Chinese false alarm.
again received a quietus which should
keep him out of the Maud Junction ring
for good. Young McGovern caught him
a clip on the chin in the first round and
a clean knockout resulted. The Chink
was carried to his corner, but could not
remember his dreams and wanted to
mix some more.
Because Jack Cox flew the coop
dusky colored person was brought in
to meet the Turk. The black was
ribbed with yellow and invited an op-
portunity to lie down. The end came
in the second after his Turkship put
the negro to the floor three times.
Jim Tremble and George Browne went
ten rounds to a draw that was fair in
parts but not conducive to much ex-
element.

CHOPPED FROM ICE-CAKE,
TROUT SWIM MERRILY
Special to The Herald.


CARIBOU, Me-, Jan. 3O.-That trout
remain alive for considerable time
after being frozen in the ice is declared
by some choppers here, who say that
they have proved the fact to their own
satisfaction.
The men We're encamped eight miles
south of here on the shore of a small
pond abounding in trout when they
ran out of provisions. 1t being illegal
to take trout at this time of the year,
they hesitated before fishing for them
through the ice, but hunger overcame
their scruples.
The fish bit well, and as they did not
wish to keep an Oversupply on hand
where game .wardens might discover
them, the men put all they could not
eat in a nearby spring. They would
then scoop them out as they were
needed
One night the temperature dropped
suddenly and in the morning the
spring, as well as the trout, were frozen
solid. Provisions had arrived the night
and no attention was paid to the spring
until the following day, when one of
the men went there with an ak and
chopped out enough fish for dinner.
The trout, stiff and hard. We're placed
in a pan of cold water to thaW out, and
a little later the cook was startled to
see them open their mouths, wriggle
their tails and move about. The small
est one showed signs of activity first,
but within an hour all We're acting as
naturally as though they We're swim
ming in the bottom of the pond Three
out of ten died before noon, but the
rest lived until the cook needed them
for supper

"JAGS" AND ROUGE
CAUSE CHURCH WAR
Special to The Herald.

Speclal TO L ne 1leIdlu.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3O.-Smulated in
toXication, aided by the rouge pot, has
almost disrupted the Congregational
church of HarWinton, Conn.
With the consent of the pastor, Rev.
j. G.. w. Heroid a company of anna
teurs, supplemented by Deacon William
e. Wilson, presented The Drunkard," >"
play with bbuous hero and a cast
iron moral, at the church last week for
the benefit of the building fund.
The deason did himself proud $40 was
raised, and everybody was happy until
the pastor, after service on Sunday
morning, asked the congregation for a
rising vote Of thanks to the cast. Mo-
body moved, and, after a second de-
mand, heard in frosty silence, Mr..
Herold counseled the actors to keen
their $50 for their own use.
Loud was the outcry. Deacon Catlln
announced that If the money were not
turned over the players would be sue d
for the rent of the church. He ex-
planned that the congregation disap-
proved OF drinking plays, or plays OF
any sort, at the church, and thought the
pastor should be disciplined. The fact
that the women had paint on their
faces, however, has gone further than
any one circumstance TO draw down the
wrath OF the Ladies' Sewing circle and
other church societies.
Let him sue If he dare" says Deacon
Wilson, with sporty indifference. "He
was at the show himself. We're COINS
to spend the $50 for oyster suppers."
