Hotel Keeper and Robbsr.

A remarkable exhibition of pres
ence of mind stands to the credit of
James Dennis, an Australian hotel
keeper. One day he found himself
behind his own counter looking
down the muzz!e Of revolver held
by a villainous looking fellow who
was requesting him to put up his
hands. He raised them, but protest
ed. Surely it doesn't take two of
you to hold me up" The robber,
who had come alone, turned his
head to see who the other man
might be. In flash Dennis own
revolver was out and the rascal's
opportunity was gone.-Westmin-
ster Gazette.

DECLARES CAFFEINE POISON .
Drug Contained In Popular Soft
Drink, Says Chemist.

Chattanooga, March 15:-In the
hearing of the case of the United
States against a certain number of
barrels and kegs of coca-cola in the
Federal court here today, some of
the most interesting testimony yet
brought out was given by DR. Lyman
F Kebler, chief of the drug depart
ment of the bureau of chemistry,
Washington, D C. DR. Kebler is the
chemist who made a test of coca
cola and today he testified that coca
cola contains caffeine, declaring that
to each eight ounce glass there was
one and one-fourth grains Of caf-
feline, which, he says, is poison. DR.
Kebler cited many eminent authori-
ties in proof of his statement that
caffeine is a poison and cited num-
Der of deaths reported as being
caused by its Use. One of these
writer's had reported a case where
four and one-half grains of the dl ug
had produced death and he said that
about three glasses of coca-cola con-
tained this amount of caffeine.
DR. Kebler testified as to the find
ing of vermin and bugs in the watts
as the result of his inspections Of the
coca-cola plant, in Atlanta. He also
testified that caramel and brown
sugar were added because of their
opaqueness.
DR. Busby, for the Government, ,tes-
titled along the line of the name of
the drink coca-cola and stated that
no other product bore the name of
either coal" or "kola.
Government chemists stated that
coca-cola contained neither coca nor
kola, and the effort of the Govern
ment will be to prove that the drink
is misbranded.

Are the courts and the juries all
wrong in this matter OF convlctlng
and Furnishing criminals? Is the
shotgun sovereignty" suggested
by the Governors admirer, | w
Justice, to take the place OF our
courts of Justice? If every criminal
who happens to stand in" with
the Governor, or some of the Gov
ernor's pals, is to go scot-free, why
go to the expense and trouble OF
prosecuting them? Let the Gov
ernor get up a list of the 'eligibles"
for punishment and let the rest 60
free without any foolish attempt to
bring them to justice. That plan
would save much trouble and ex-
penSe.

We believe that every farmer
who sells his cotton for less than
fifteen cents a pound under pres
ent conditions is being robbed of
the difference between the price
he receives and fifteen cents. Spot
cotton is intrinscally worth fifteen
cents, if the law OF supply and
demand govern the value Of the

In about three weeks, De0 10
lente, The Record will have in
stalled a new Cranston cylinder
newspaper press. 1t weighs about
five tons and is one of the latest
and most desirable machines on
the market for weekly news
paper. 1t has a speed of two
thousand four-page papers an hour.
This press cost us more than
one thousand dollars and it will
take years of hard work to pay
for it. But, as we have said all
along, the best is none too good for
our readers, and we propose to give
the people of old Williamsburg a
newspaper second to no county seat
weekly in the State in point OF me-
chanical excellence. 1t may take
some little time to do it, but we are
getting our plans in tan
gible shape. Meantime, now is the

Part Of the Talent.

A church once gave charity con-
cert where the best talent volun-
teered-the city's leading singers,
elocutionists and actors. At the
end of the concert the chairman
went up to the organ loft and said
to the little boy in patched clothes
who had blown the organ:
"Well, Freddie, what do we owe
you for your work this evening"
The little boy looked at the chair
man in genuine astonisbment.
"Why, sir" he said, "didn't the
rest of the talent give their serv-
ices ?"

The Council FrOWnS
 On ()bstruCti0nistS

That very grave question of whe ther or not merchant shall be allowed to display his goods on the sidewalks and thereby obstruct the life, liberty and happiness of pedestrians, came up for consideration before the council last week, and required the mastication of much muslin. The news was crowded out of our last paper, but the event is ao important that we feel that we must amble around the subject this week.
 Of course the council ruled to uphold heir ordinance. The committee re- ported that they had interviewed all the merchants around the business blocks and they found l5 for the privi- leGe of showing goods and 26 against.
 There was some wrangIing among he members who thought that perhaps it would be we'll to allow some of one street where the majority were in favor of permitting goods on the sidewalk The utter impossibility of such dis criminati0u soon became apparent, and it was decided that they would go through with the ordinance and keep the sidewalks clear.

The Fourth of July ball given by the Arctic Brotherhood at the new A.

It was q large crowd and merry one, and, as far as can be judged, not poor film in the roll.
 Following day of sports that kept people pleasantly interested, the ladies begun to blossom about 10 o'clock, and finer collection of gowns has not been seen. All those airy, fairy creations from Paris, those hobbies, pipes and salomes,--it was enough to give plain man ruDberitis.
 At midnight the gayety was at full swing, with q crowd that just comfort ably filled the large ball room. Drake md Bourret's orchestra sounded the loud pedal and the place swung in d haze of bright color and bright faces. It was late hour in the morning be- fore they had enough.

Growing out of the contest that was declared no contest on July I, after the judges had witnessed the trial log rolling between Bill Smith and Ben Bromberg, the two have established a rivalry that can be wiped out only by complete and decisive victory, and hence they will go at it tomorrow night on the waterfront to decide a bet of Sl00,
 Owing to the unfavorable conditions of the start during the contest on the Fourth, the men were unable to get clear of the boats in a manner that would permit of a fair start, and al though they did receive a cold ducking for their pains, the judges decided it could not be called contest.
 However they have put up their money and will go at it for personal satisfaction. The public can get in on a good show about 7:30 o'clock.
