blocks of houses He was about to start for Hussia Laving uiatle enough over here in about Cve years to ret he from business Moie iver all hU confederates were rith As they were not caught led handed as It vteie they got oil with a heavy tine for laving mi illicit still on their pu miscs so they lay low for u few months They went down into the tieait of the east hide uml fitted up a cellar in Madison etrcet Here they thrived mightily They had lined the interior of their cellar with zinc so that the bincli of the mash was kept in for It is often the peculiar odor of steaming mash that betrays them A yood revenue otlicer has a keen eonfc of smell then Yes it 1iib led to many a raid in mot unexpected places Ou this occasion one of the gang pretended to turn Mates evi dence Kiiyln that he had been idibed by leeilfell lie told us that the gang wai working nt the old game on the west side away up in One Hundred ami bortieili irevt Thin win to nut u off - METROPOLITAN Kentucky Mountaineers Outdone In the Suburbs of New York City t tSNOCKNT IOOKINU ILLICIT DIHTILIKRY might have leuialueil then coining mon ey to this day but It seems that the thrllty wife of one of the gang went into the game on her own plan ami began selling Illicit whisky to such of her friends in the quarter as knew what to call for who had the seciet pisswoid you might say anil the Dinger Ale Sarsnpurillu and other spouts of her little Hotli foiin tain tlowed pule illicit gin rum ami whiil not when the occasion deuiaitl eil The whole neighborhood was sun plied with whisky at the expense of the saloon ami the Internal revenue for she sold a pint of pure whifky for a tliiie ami it was remarkably gootl stuff too Then there is money in makint illicit whisky Certainly else why would men take such gieat lislis You can make a good grade of whisky from molasses it as you see tit or as customers demand The actual cost is fiom IS to ill cents a gallon The ievenlt tax is 110 a gal lon Now if a man wants to take the list and has an illicit distiller whom he can trust lie can buy his whisky for 10 or SO cents a gallon mid the distiller will make from -00 to -100 per cent proht while the retailers profit will nut into the thousands In the fust place the most of the spir its is high pioof -say SK This is the way it Is bought but it is diluted almost one half hefoie manipulated and sold This gives the retailer an enormous pi nt It but his ilsk is also ery great and if he runs away to escape captuie he usual ly leaves a good deal of valuable stock behind Yes they all get lich in the illicit tils tilling business if tliey can keep at it lung enough befoie being caught but it goes haul witli them then There was a iiiau at HayNide for instance His mime was Sprohl but he hud hulf a dozen aliases ami his attiuaiutaiices were legion We got wind of the fact that bomewhere on Long Island theie was a deal of illicit whUky pouring into New Yoik anil Hiooklyu and we scouted the Black Stump mid other foiests with guns ami dog- ostensibly hunting game but ail in wiiu One morning the citizens of the little village of ltaysitle heaid a treiuen dous explosion and ran to a small build ing which was occupied by it tnodeut sa loon keeper anil his family It was right on the main thoroughfare too The whoh back of the house had been blown into the Mild and the stench of hot mash wa a talebearer to the four winds When the deputies arrived there they found the owner of the place huryiig some copper trumperies in a compost heap although in the explosion of his ic tort h had himself been blown through the iitck of the house and landed ueai the biru half dead with the blow ami the scalding Two cliihlien slceng by the side of the distilling loom in the uppei rear chamber weie neuily blown to at onis It seems that Sprohl only kept the saloon us a blind ami neighbors said that for a man who only caught an occasional soft drink wheelman lie did u great busi ness for eveiy night or two there ar rived a wagon tilled with bin rein and while some of these were lolled into the cellais of the tiny Saloon others were rolled out The truth of the matter is thut while we weie

tho Sunday papers and a reporter the Associated Press was received by the admiral in a cabin lit tered with tho illustrated Dewey edi tions which together made hundreds of pages in black and white and in colors all concerning the great admiral and the preparations made to receive him Nchiiih It lit Ashore It almost suddens me ho said to see what my people are doing for me Tins pride and grutilicatiou is immense and I cannot express the appreciation I feel I did not know I titl not really perceive until this moment the splendid welcome that my countrymen are giv ing mo The governors of many states are coming to sets me and troops from Florida Georgia and other far away btutes are on heir way to take part in receiving me Tho admiral stroked tho head of a tawnoy hairetl dog the chow dog of a Ohiuese breed that appears in the illustrated interviews of tho admiral Bob here ho said is not well He yearns to bo ashore Ho is sick to get a little grass und to scamjser around 1 feel a good deal that way myself I am mighty glad to get home It is not good for a man any moro than a dog to livo on board ship for an months Tho admiral said he felt tired but ho ditl not look so His complexion is a clear bronze his hazel eyes bright his bearing brisk and rather jaunty Some deep lines are under his eyes and around his mouth but his voice is singularly clear and pleasant Tho admirals ap pearance is that of a man in his fullest powers His manner is gontlo und kind but he is exceedingly wary and did not permit himself to wauder off into politics or to express those positive views he no doubt holds about tho Phil ippines and American uffairs there His attention was brought to iuterviows in which ho is described as goiug rather fully into tho character of tho Filipino und

anchors woro hardly down before details of tho crew wore washing the ships whites sidos und touching up tho status with paint Tho admirals first business was to send an olllcer ashore with telegrams for the navy department Mayor Van Wyck and General Bnttorileld an nouncing the arrival Ho then spent niofit of the morning in looking over newspapers and receiving reporters He was just tluishiug a midday breakfast when Sir Thomas Lipton called on him With Sir Thomas wero Dr Mackay and other visiting English men I Hiipisoso you have como for tho tea saitl Admiral Dowoy referring to Sir Thomas gift of live pounds of tea to each man ou tho ship at Colombo No you aro welcome to that if any body can think it replied Sir Thomas Tho admiral and the cup challenger had a 5 iiiinutu talk As Sir Thomas and his friends left the Olympia a half hundred of the ships crew cheered tho baronet I could not stop them cried out Admiral Dewey waving his hand at Sir Thomas Lipton They had not any orders to do that Admiral Dewey then hud a succession of notable callers Suinpioii lit Next Arrltnl Rear Admiral Sampson with Cap tain Uhatlwkk his chief of staff antl Lieutenant Commander Winslow his Hug

came up near tho Olympia and took a look at her Everybody who asked was permitted to como aboard Some of the parties of sightseers on launches aud steamers were invited by the oflicers of the deck to come up the gangway The Olympias anchorage is near the main shipohanuol Tho North German Lloyd steamer Saale outward bound passed close to tho Olympia The Saales passengers crowded to the rails Admiral Dewey responded to waving handkerchiefs by lifting his cap several times The Saales band played The Star Spangled Banner and the Olympia dipped her flag Tho Cunarder Urania passed out half an

doctors do more harm than good in treating Contagious Blood Poison many victims of this loathsome disease would be much better off to day if they had never allowed them selves to bo dosed on mercury and potash the only remedies which the doctors ever give for blood poison The doctors are wholly unable to get rid of this vile poison and only attempt to heal up the outward appearnnco of the disease tho sores and eruptions This they do by driving the poison into the system and endeavor to keep it shut in with their constant doses of potash and mercury The mouth and throat antl other delicate part9 then break out into sores and the fight is continued indefinitely the drugs doing the system more damage than the disease itself Mr it 1j Myers 100 Mulberry St Newark N J says hundred dollars
