A bad wreck, two miles west of Fin
ny, interrupted traffic on the Clinch
Valley on Monday ard Tuesday. Eigh-
teen cars on No. sc were derailed on
Sunday night, and for the next two
days it was found necessary to transfer
those who happened to be either east or
westward bound as passengers. Two
hoboes were riding on the wrecked cars
and one was so tightly wedged in the
wreckaGe that he could not be gotten
out until wreckers csme with axes to
chop the timbers loose that had him i'm
prisoned. Strange to say, however, he
was not seriously injured.

THE FRENCH DUEL.
Tricks That Are Invoked to Make the
Meeting Bloodless.

A French paper has been describing
the various contrivances to insure pis.
tol duels ending in coffee for two" A
favOrite trick. il seems, is TO use pro.
jectiles that look like ordinary lead bull
lets, but crumble 10 pieces when fred.
In more serious cases bullets are used
of smaller caliber than the pistol, thus
lessening their penetrating power.
Sometimes the wad is Intentionally
left out, so that when the duellsts face
each other with the pistols held down
ward the bullets roll out. In many
cases bullets of the right calber are
used. but only with q third of the
proper powder charge, so that they are
practically harmless. a variation of
this trick Is 10 load with u double pow,
der charge. which also causes the bul.
lets TO 90 wide Of the mark. This, how
ever. Is dangerous to the spectators.
Again. well meaning seconds some
times use the right bullets and the
right charge. but stifRen the triggers Sc
that the extra pressure causes the bul
lets 10 20 wide. Perhaps the mosi
amusing device Is the use OF pistols
fitted with II sort Of secret safety
valve. which opens when the weapor
Is loaded, so that the bullet drops ou
and only the powder charge remains. -

A Drop In Rhetoric.

81 remember" said an official Of the
East Indian service. "the speech of an
Anglo-In Indian who was delegated by :
certain district to place before the gov
ernment's notice the horrible slaughter
Aof their stock by tigers. A very no.
ticeable litter could be heard In the
audience when the delegate shouted
very dramatically:
"'Mr. Chairman. the tiger is the
most ferocious animal that prowls and
runs at large in India. He creeps
from his lurking place at the hour of
midnight. when all nature is locked
IN the arms OF Morpheus. and ere the
portals Of the east are unbound or
bright Phoebus rises in his golden
majesty whole litters of pigs are de
stroyed'"

BLENDED AND
STRAIGHT WHISKEY
BY United Press Wire

Chicago, Oct, l0--Prsident Tafrs
reversal of the ruling during the
Roosevelt administration on the mat
ter of blended whiskies was bitterly
denounced in a statementt issued by
Joseph Wolf, president of the James
+. Pepper Distilling Company, voic.
ing the view of dstillers of old fash
ioned straight" whlskey. He is ac-
cused OF hurting the temperance cause
by deciding that liquor labeled
whiskey but cOncocted from cologne
spirits water and colored flavoring
may legally be sold as whisky.
DR.. Harvey W. Wiley of the United
States Department of Agriculture ruiz
ed to the contrary and was upheld by
Theodore Roosevelt. then president.
Mr.. VOLTS arraignment of President
Tafts reversal OF this ruling declared:
1T is the belief of the makers Of
straight whiskies in the United States
that the friendship of men who are
| engaged in the manufacture of blend
ed whiskey in Cincinnati, the Presi-
dents home city, Influenced Mr.. Taft's
ruling. Cincinnati in generally known
as the headquarters of the blende /
whisky industry and naturally Mr..
Taft has many friends among them.
They swayed his Judgment to the
wrong side.
The distillcrs OF straight whislSey
know that Mr. Taft has an intimate
knowledge of the lns and outs of tho
dlstilling industry by reason OF o.
ficial positions he has held in the
past and for that reason they regard
his ruling as an Injustice rather than
mistake.
Or Wiley's declaration that no
man ought to make or sell anything
for food or drink that he did not dare
label truthfully was upheld by Mr..
Tafts decision that alcohol and water
oolored and favored with drugs
some of which are rank poisons,
might be labeled whiskey was a step
backward.
The manufacturers of real whiskey
got the worse of their fight in Con-
gress for no other reason than that
the money and the stronger political
influences were on the side of the
blended whiskey makers. II costs
less to make whiskey overnight than
II does to distil and mature an honest
N''''~N wv blB puiSSo eiioN e''i-
tributed TO block pure food legisla-
ture."
Mr.. Wolf advocates rather advanced
views on the regulation of the liquor
traffic. He believes in high license,
limitation of the number of licenses,
asserts that the liquor interests should
demand that licenses be issued only
to reputable retail dealers. and that
all laws regulating the traffic, even
II unreasonable, should be enforced
TO the letter rather than broken
through hypocrisy.
He Is opposed TO the county unit
local option movement, however, on
the ground that It unjustly interferes
with town and city government, ana
also thinks Sunday closing a mistake,
although limit on the open hours
OF sunday saloons he would not op-
pose. ~

TRACING C0UNTERFEITS.
Exciting Employment For Skilled ss'

The tracing of counterfeit bills back

the most skilful members of the Sc

currency depends in large measure up
On their efficiency. and the pains they
take are almost infinite. The follow

culties which the secret service people
meet and overcome:
A bank clerk in Cleveland had de.
tected Il counterfeit twenty dollar bill
IN the deposit OF small retail grocer.

He found thht. hie grocer had re-.

ed. Indeed. II appeared that the mon
ey had been received by the New Or
leans man in part payment for rent
OF house he owned in Pittsburg.
While the sleuth was bit discour
aged. he couldn't give over the case
when he had gone so far, so he took
the next train for Pittsburg.
The tenant of the house in Pitts
burg proved to be . travelling oculist
who spent most Of his time In the mid
die west. The secret service man had
the good luck, however, To catch him
just AS he had returned from trip,
and the man at once recognized the
bad bill as one that had been given
him by patient In Cleveland. the
very point whence the sleuth started.
The patient was boss carpenter. |
The secret service man got his address
from the oculist and went right after
the new clew. At this point he had Il |
premonition that something was going |
10 happen. and he wasn't disappointed.
The carpenter. an honest old fellow,
said that he had received the bill from
certain Parker. The said Parker
was the snsl.~errrer,in whose bank
deposit the cpyptsEfeit had turned up.
The expert rev to'athe grocer's as
quickly as cab could take him and
found II closed. He had left town.
Afterward 1t was shown beyond
question that the grocer was the agent
Of an organized band of counterfeiters.
His shop was mere blind. That the
bill which he gave the carpenter
should get back into his own funds
after travelling all over the continent
was one OF those miracles of chance
for which there is yno explanation. =
