APPLEJACK As A BEVERAGE.
Once Favorite Drink in New Jersey
Where IL Was Dubbed Lightning

where III was DuDDeu 'ltgltning.
What may be surprising to the
general public is the story of apple
jack factories in Manhattan. in
Brooklyn and up the Hudson Valley.
Once the stuff came almost wholly
from just across the stream due west
of New York. IL was called Jersey
lightning" and il could strike more
than twice in the same place. We
have, then, the interesting pheno-
menon of a fiery demon wandering
in undated ardor far from its most
famous habitat.
The dictionary defines applejack
with terse accuracy as apple bran
dy." Memories of its after-effects
are much longer than this definition
and take a great many more words
in their relation. There is a period
between indulgence and headache,
however. which few persons are cap
able of remembering. Baffled recol-
lection doubtless has driven many a
man to vain, repeated returns TO the
Icup.
Applejack presumably was not
known in the flowery days of Eden.
IL would have done the serpent's bus
mess much more expeditiously, If not
more absolutely, than did the I'M
crushed fruit. There is a Jersey
tradition, to be sure, that properly
hotwatered, sugared and lemon
juiced. the liquid jack worked mira
cles with winter colds.-New York

Heved of a second Robin Hood, says
the San Francisco Chronicle. Grit
fin was apprehended for numerous
thefts committed by him from camps
located in the interior of the noun
tains. The story of his experiences
prior 10 his arrest has in it many of
the elements of the dramatic, and
the authorities before whom he was
brought consider him a sort of
enigma. Griffin appeared in Santa
Barbara a short time ago, having
walked all the way from Portland
According to mis- statements, he
sought work in Santa Barbara. but
unsuccessfully, and finally took TO
the mountains. II is socialist and
believes in the doctrine OF common
ownership of property, and upon APP
preaching the uninhabited San
Marcus club house felt no hesitancy
in breaking in and helping himself TO
a number of rifles and an abundant
supply OF ammunition. Weighted
down by his load of stolen property
he tramped scores of miles into the
interior Businesses of the mountains
living principally upon such game as
could be brought down with one of
his numerous guns. During the
course of his tramp he came upon
the cabin of Forest Ranger Dins-
more and appropriated to his own use
such articles as struck his fancy be-
fore continuing his wild tramp on
ward. Upon discovering his loss
Ranger Dinsmore and Ranger Dibeu
started in pursuit, and knowing that
their quarry was heavily armed and
likely 10 resist arrest, they disguised
themselves as yaqueros and came
upon him from the rear, and before
he was aware of their presence
they had him covered.
Although OF slight build and
weighing but 100 pounds, Griffith
during the course of his tramp over
the rough mountains, carried pack
weighing $50 pounds and endured all
sorts of hardships, which resulted in
practically denuding him of clothing
and covering his body with numerous
scars where ne had come in contact
with the st.ff brush and sharp stones.
When found he was almost starved
and his wild fight had left him in a
precarious condition. In spite of the
seriousness of his position, Griffith
seemed TO take the matter lightly

He refuses to divulge any information
regarding his history. and his strange
actions have made his arrest one of
more than ordinary interest.

HopkinsyiIle Tobacco.

Hopkinsville, KY, Aug. 10.-Sales
on the local tobacco market last
week amounted to 1913 hogsheads
and probably 1900 pounds of loose
tobacco. Stoekers are very low, and
from now until the new crop comes
on the market there will be very lit

association sold 81 hogsheads during
the week, this leaving them with
only II hogsheads on hand. II. ii,
Alternately sold IL hogsheads. Loose
sales have decreased until the mar
ket might be considered closed for
the season. On what little is still
being offered for sale prices are rul-
ing fairly up to the quotations that
have been noted at any time, the de-
mand having been ample to take all
the offerings at all times.

International.
The International situation is bet
ter than a week ago owing to abate-
ment of the troubles in Spain. These
now seem to be over and are not
likely to cause any difficulty in the
foreign money markets, although
l'aris, which represents large hold
ings of Spanish securities, showed
some temporary weakness when the
crisis was at its height. Now that
the tariff is settled the sentimental
effect will prove beneficial, although
practically the tariff makes no diff
ference whatever to business in gen.
oral. No very important changes
have been made either downwards
or upwards. the net result of the
new pill being practically a victory
for the "stand-patters." For some
time past our manufacturing inter-
ests recognized that they had but lit
tie to fear from any downward re-
vision, and have consequently gone
ahead with little regard to the tariff
situation. For this reason the new
tariff will have little influence upon
general business other than the SEN
timental effect of relief from agita-
ton. Such troubles as come from
the new measure will be chiefly
those relating to its administration.
Stock market operations must still
be conducted with great precaution.
1t is not impossible that prices may
be forced to a still higher point, but
ii should be recognized that values
are already unwarrantedly high and
that the big holders are qunetly dis
tributing their surplus upon every
advance. The activity and weakness
of the market whenever good news
is forthcoming-signing the tariff
bill. for instance-are highly sug-
gestive. The outlook is certainly
encouraging and prevailing optimism
cannot be ignored, yet all the good
features discernible have been pref
~ well discounted. A distributive
market, such as the present one APP
pears to be, holds many opportuni-
ties for the nimble operator for
quick in and out trading. 1t is
reasonable to assume that the tactics
of the past (such as marking up
sharply first one stock and then an
other) will egain be used in an en-
deavor to aid, as well as disguise,
the Liquidation which will be at
tempted in other departments of the
list Quick in and out operations on
the long side however. should be en-
tered into with carefulness, as we
are still of the opinion that clam
