Washington, November 29.-(Special)- An official of the United States internal revenue department was relating some true stories of experiences with moon sinners few nights ago in Washington when ne told the following story that will be appreciated by readers in Ala bama where the incident is said to nave occurred:
 When Mr. Cleveland was elected Presi- dent he appointed New York man as special revenue agent and he was assigned to duty in Alabama. This new agent nad never had experience with moonshinefs and he went to Alabama with an inflated ambition to show old officers of the ser- vice how to make successful raids. | He saw no reason in allowing ignorant farmers to transgress the laws of the country at will, some of them evading ar rest for years.
 l He went down to Alabama wearing q broadcloth Prince Albert and a high silk hat. His arrival in, small mountain town in Alabama caused a sensation. When he announced that he was reve- nue officer and would show the people in that neighborhood how to raid moon sinners and put them out of business in a new and approved fashion there was another sensation that did not end in the little village
 He organized his force of deputies and announced that on certain day he would ride into .the mountains at the head oi I his little company and clean out the woods.

 silk hat at the hotel
 But on the appointed day he rode fortf from the village at the head of his com pany of deputies who followed with many well grounded msgivings. They could an

Australian Did No Foul Lang
ford Intentionally, She De-
clares After the Battle.

LONDON. Feb 25.-Lady Constance
Richardson. the beautiful Scottish woman
who has given New York and London So
ciety more genuine thrills than any other
woman IN the United Kingdom. watched
the Lang Langford prize fight from a
rlnEside seat. Society. however, was not
surprised: 1t never is at anything this
tilted woman docs: but just TO show that
she WIS In earnest Lady Constance
brought half dozen women friends with
her.
Not movement in the ring escaped
their notice from the time the men shook
hands until the interrupted sixth round
Lady Constance pattcd her carefully
dressed heE3s and rooted" for Lang up
TO the very moment he was disqualified
for fouling the Boston negro.
And Lady Richardson was disappoInt-
ed over the outcome She said:
~ wasn't bit nervous. no. indeed: l
have seen boxing contests before. II was
delightfully."- exciting while IL lasted, but
the finish was decidedly disappointing 10
me, as II must have been TO every one.
Il don't believe Lang fouled his oppo-
ncnt Intentionally. lie doesn't appear 10
bali dazed and really didn't know what
he was doing.
Lang Plucky Chap.
Lang is a plucky chap. Gracious! Did
you see the punishment he got? The
blows he received were most severe after
the third round. and he withstood them
very well. ] really feel sorry for him.
AS 10 the Boston Tar Baby" Lady
Constance furnished this comment:
"Bangford is a magnificent boxer The
blows he got-hard ones. too. some OF
them-dldn't seem TO disturb him al all.
oh! but ] do wish IL had been a fight
to a finish. Though l don't think II
would have lasted much longer II would
have been a whole lot more satisfactory"
Lady Constance took more than pass
Ing interest In the welfare OF Lang. She
had been telling her friends for weeks
that she hoped he would win. Then she
went to- his training quarters and saw
physique and all-around ability Of the
Australian.
To bolster up Lang's spirits Lady Con-
stance had sent 10 him in the morning q
Japanese lucky charm, at the same time
wishing him success. Lang. puffed with
pride Immediately sat down and In his
best Kangaroo English wrote n reply, eX-
pressing his thanks.
Whether Lady Constance had a wager
on the outcome OF the fight was a Ques-
tion. There was plenty OF Langford mon

riage five years ago was Lady Con-
stance Mackenzie, Is almost as we'll
known In New York S she is in Eng
