In compliance with a plan to sue nearly nil of the wholesale whlaky dealers In the United Stales for Infringements on a copy right and Imitation of goods n suit was be gun In the federal court hero yesterday by the manufacturers of the Hennessey Three- Star brandy against John Llnder. It Is al leged that numerous dealers and manufac turers all over the world , and particularly In America , have been In the habit of coun terfeiting all of the distinguishing marks on the outslilo of the package and putting on the market a brand of liquor that Is Identical with theirs with the exception of the stuff Itself , which Is alleged to bo any thing from aqua fortls to a mixture of al cohol and sulphurld acid , and that this stuff has been told on the markets of the world as the best Hennessey Three-Star brandy , preatly to their damage. They allege also that all of the better grades of domestic brandies arc sold under their label , and this they claim U what John Llnder has been doing In common with hundreds of other wholesale ) dealers.

There was no business totransact other than the allowance of the regular monthly bills , which reached a total of leas than $50. Only two men are retained In the em ploy of the commissioners during the win ter season on half pay. The financial report ehowed that there La now In the park fund subject to draft by the commissioners about $1,150 , After the payment of the first half of the taxes on April 1 the fund will ) bo largely Increased. It Is the Intention of the commissioners to UBO a portion of It early In the spring for the Improvement of Bay- lisa park.

Oily Fathers Dcs'ra ' to Have the Silent Steed Regulated , WOULD LIKE TO SUPPRESS THE SCORCHER 1'ropoHltlon ( o Attnch n llrnsn Tuff ti 'Every ' Wliuvl Unit lit Hltliluu \ii Council ItlUllH. The conservative clement In the city coun cil baa undertaken to permanently dispose ol the bicycle ordinance that has been hang ing on the files slnco last summer , awaiting a favorable opportunity to bo called up and passed. By a majority vote It has bccti laid upon the table. This means was taken to kill It , and Is considered as effectual as If It had been slaughtered In an attempt to pass It. Every bicycle rider In the city has taken n deep Interest In the effort to pass an an noying and restrictive ordinance , and their combined influence has had n marked effect on the members of the council. The proposed ordinance had some features that mot the approval of all decent wheelmen. One of these was the check that It put upon the scorcher. Ancient cedar blocks nnd granite are not conducive to scorching , and the little of It that has been done here baa been , con fined to the resident streets and Pearl street. The council has come to the con clusion that ample authority to punish the scorcher Is conferred by the present ordi nance against fast driving , and when the blcyclo season opens It will bo vigorously enforced. The chief part of the proposed ordinance and the main object of Its passage was to compel all wheelmen to carry lamps. This was especially distasteful to the wheel men , and n strong pressure was brought upon the council to Include nil vehicles traveling at night. A majority of the mem bers of the council had been pledged to In sist upon this amendment If the ordinance was to bo passed. Another amendment In sisted upon was a clause requiring all teams to keep to the right hand sldo of the street. With these amendments certain to bo made , It the ordinance was to bo passed at all , Its advocates wcro left In a position where they could not Insist on calling It up. The ofilcers of the city government who do not take kindly to tbo whirring wheel are now discussing a now plan to bring the bl cycle under subjection. Yesterday a number of them were discussing the project of pass ing a resolution requiring each owner nnd rider of u wheel to pay nn annual license of not less than $1 , Its payment to bo evi denced by the possession of a brass tag to bo attached to the wheel In some conspicu ous place. The object Is to bring the wheel men under the control of the police depart ment nnd permit the arrest of any ono riding a wheel who cannot show a tag. It Is need less to say that only extremists In the coun cil and the city departments favor such a scheme. There are about 2,000 wheels owned and ridden in the city , but less than COO of them have been returned by the city assessor for taxation , i Bradley's premium tickets are worth their weight In Klondike gold.

The observance of the first Tuesday In each month followed a suggestion that was ma'do toy one of the homo workers some time ago , and the prac tice has been adhered to un'tll ' It has become - como universal , and yesterday In every state In the Union and In many foreign countries devoted Christian men and women were praying for the benefit of the home. The practice has ticon to observe the day at the liomo by holding regular religious services , conducted by ministers of the various denominations. The Institution has no sec tarian taint and all Christian ministers have tuken part In the exerclsos. Yesterday morning from 8 to 8:30 : o'clock the children nnd workers of the homo joined with Itcv. G. W. Snydcr , Rev. Henry DeLoug ami II. A. Ballenger in observing the hour. The hour Is fixed early In the day and with the differences ot time the result Is that the hour Js spread over the entire day 'In ' the different parts of the world , making an hour of special prayer for the homo lasting frorot sunrise to sunset. At the homo yestcrJay the services consisted of singing 'by ' the children , addresses by the ministers and prayers. The report of the week's donations to the homo made public yesterday shows that the receipts in .both funds are again below the needs. The grand total to the manager's turn ! was $21.35 , being $13.63 below the needs 3f the week. Deficiency In this fund , aa re ported last week , $42.65 , Increasing deficiency .o date to $56.20. Grand total of receipts In the general fund xmounts to $130.21 , .being $69.79 $ below the stimated needs for current expenses of the iveclc. Deficiency In this fund , as reported in last -week's paper , 28.65 , Increasing de- Iclency to date to $98.44.

So far as can be ascertained , says the Dcf Molnes correspondent of the Cedar Rapids rtcpubllcan , no governor ot Iowa except Horace Boles , Is on record as commending the ultracentrallzcd single board of control Idea now advocated by some as the wlsesl way In , which to Improve the conduct of the Uato Institutions. Governor Gear came nearest to It , 'but ' his board , -was not abso lute. Governor Curpeiiter antl Governoi Sherman both heartily advocated a central board to promote system and uniformity , Dut an advisory , or supervisory board , In ad- litlon to and not In the place of 'the local boards. Governor Drake's recommendation upon this subject Is fresh In mind ; nndi It U in exceedingly practical , buslness-llko prop- isltion , too. i Would Hin Cond I.IITT. A ( bill known as the .habitual criminal act , Introduced In the state senate , says the Keo- kuk Gate City , ought to become a law. Jt provides that where a criminal has been convicted more than twice for .burglar . ; . , grand larceny , counterfeiting or similar crimes , ho shall , upon itho third conviction bo sentenced to the penitentiary for a perloj of not moro than thirty and not less than fifteen yearn. The third conviction for petty larceny Is made subject to Imprisonment In the penitentiary. Tills law Is in force In other states and hao worked well. It has tiad a deterrent effect and has operated to reduce the number of convicts in the state prisons. There Is 010 reason why tiao same CBUlt ehould not follow In Iowa. i TcTiijiiitlniv n Stntv llelit. Some objections are 'being ' made to the bill illowlng the state treasurer to sell state ivarranto to the highest bidder , eays the Des ylolnea correspondent of the Burlington tlawkoye , on the ground that It looks like icrpotuatln'g ' a state dcibt and that It will bo : hargeil that the legislature Is not trying , to > ay toft thd state debt as It should , 'but ' only irovlding for keeping it up and ( borrowing nero money. It Is generally agreed that the lebt ought to ibo paid during tlio next bien- ilal period , no matter what the state tax ovy may be. A 3-mlll levy will bo much nero acceptable than another deficit at the > nd of tbo next .biennial period.

DE3 MC-INES1 , Feb. 1. ( Special Tell gram. ) The question of senatorial root portlonmcnt has suddenly assumed fin magnitude : proportions. The senate comml tee , of which Lothrop Is chairman , on sen ! torlal and representative districts , met an the chairman submitted two maps ot th state showing the proposed schemes ot at portlonmcnt. The present apportlonmct was made twelve years ago and Is entire ! out ot date. The northwest part of th state has districts which , by reason of th rapid growth of population , have 200 to 22 moro population than other districts In th south part of the state. Lathrop's plan ha been to equalize the population as far a possible. It was vigorously opposed. It I necessary In some cases to throw two sen ators Into the same district , but no arrange merit can be made that places two holdover together , as there would bo no means of dc tormlnlng which should resign. But In sotn cases a holdover and a retiring senator nr districted together , which means that th retiring member would have to give up hi ambitions for another term. The small dls trlcts object to having now counties ndde to them and there Is enough trouble o hand to assure that the committee will b kept busy n good while , and will then no satisfy everybody. The house committee on ways nnd mean killed the bill to allow counties to dra\ interest on ifunds from banks holding them The measure passed the senate a day or tw ngo , where It was Introduced by Mitchell It authorized the board of supervisors nm treasurer In their discretion to contract fo the payment of Interest on county funds Only four votes were east against It In th senate. In the house the committee bll was kilted on the ground that It would gc the banks Into politics , and it would rcllcvi the treasurer of his personal liability fo funds lost by bank failures , etc. Thcro ma ; bo a minority report In favor of the mcas ure.

I'eu 1'lclnro of nn Krcpufrlc No * .Irrno.v SlntoMinuii. The statement that the "model village" c Smlthvlllo , near Mount Holly , N. J. , wll bo wiped out and cut up Into house lots fo the benefit of the heirs of the late Hczekla B. Smith brings before the public the lit and remarkable career of the founder c Smlthvlllo. Hezeklali ,71. Smith , throughout his seven ty-scvcn years of existence , was alway busy , relates the New York Mail and Kx press. His worst enemies never accuse him of sloth. Smith combined with all th shrowdnefs nnd taslo for mechanical Invcn tlon ot the typical Now England Yankc n tendency 'toward rcmarknblo and ccccn trio extravagance. He was In no sense spendthrift. Ho simply Indulged his od fancies to their limit , and from the begin nlng of his life to Its end ho was uttcrl ; careless ot the comments or censure of an ; community In which ho happened to live Heedlessly ho went his way , a man of grca force , many weaknesses and Intense an * dominant Individuality. Hczcklah 'B. ' Smith was born In Wood stock , Vt. , In 1815. llvi was a farmer's son but soon wearied of plowing the rocky pas lures of Vermont nnd learned the trade o carpenter. Very early In Ilfo his Invcntlvi turn ot mind developed , and dcvclopci chiefly In Its capacity to utilize the Invcn tlvo abilities of others. At length , throng ! Industry and thrift , ho managed to bccomi the owner ot n number of patents and es tabllshcd a machine shop In Woodstock Ho then married Evollno Vcronn English eloping to 'Boston ' for the purpose. He re turned to Woodstock , nnd , his buslnesi prospering , ho removed 1o 'Manchester ' Mass. , then -to Boston , and thcnco to Lowell Mass. Ho was at this tlmo 40 years of age His oldest son , Elton , a boy of 14. went will him , but his wlfo nnd his' daughter and his two younger sons remained In Woodstock Smith nnd his wife's relations having quar reled on account of her mnrrlago will him ho positively forbade her seeing nit > of her own family , but when her fathei died she went to comfort her mother. Het mother gave her a shawl. Smith came homo , took ono look nt 'the shawl , left the house and never saw his wife again. In the meantime Smith became Interested in a young woman of the name of Agnes Sllkcrson , nt that tlmo a school girl in Lowell. She became his amanuensis , nnd , wishing that she might bo able to earn bet own living at some moro profitable occupa tion , ho paid to have her educated as n doctor. And a doctor she became. Smith then moved to Shoovllle. N. J. He bought the whole town and rechrlstcncd It Smlthvlllo. where he had scope , to carry out his own Ideas of how Hczcklah B. Smith ought to live. Ho bought an old square brick mansion , probably seventy or eighty years old , nnd started In to alter it to suit himself. He built an L which. In the base ment , was , and still is , a combination ale vault and bowling alley , the ale vault occu pying one side of the basement and the bowling alloy the other. Over this base ment was a poker room , absolutely con secrated to Mr. Smith's favorite pastime ot draw poker. But the cardinal peculiarity a'bout ' the Insldo of the house and bowling alley was that the chalm andi tables and every piece oj furniture stood on Iron -legs. There were iron rungs to the ibannlster ? , Iron glrderc across the ceilings , Iran dogs and lions In the front yard , Iron "baskets hung from the piazza roof , even the clothrs poles In the back yard wcro made of Iron ; and In the poker room , at Mr. Smith's favorite ee.it , there was a movcable Iron foot rest which worked on a pivot for Mr. Smith's "game" leg. leg.In this Ironclad homo Mr. Smith Installed himself and his liclcraglngs , and then sent for Mlas Silkerson to como and net as hlo combined housekeeper , doctor nnd amanu ensis. Miss Sllkcrson at once'beoamo a pew- lioldor In the Episcopal church of Mount [ lolly , nnd 'proceeded ' 'to ' put to practical test , In the surrounding countryside , her particular fad cf hygienic food. Smith > wned Smlthvlllc. Mita Silkerson Influenced Smith , and all the inhabitants of Smlth vlllo and Us suburbs subsisted upon patent and unpalatable food. In the meantime Smith ran for congres ? 1n the Second Now Jersey district , and wan defeated , ( but was elected two yea.ts later , and led , -while In Washington , an easy life , Ho subsequently became state senator. All thin time , twenty-two years In all. Mrs. Smith had tooem supporting herself nnd her children as a dressmaker In Massachusetts. Elton Smith , the eldest son , after n stormy scene , In which his father repudiated him , shlppe-d 'before the mast , became n stovcdorewent to Savannah , Ga. , and became - came ono of Its leading citizens. In January. 1881 , Agnes Silkerson died , and Hczeklah Smith at once .had a statue of her itnado In Italy , brought It to this coun try and eet It up In Smlthvllle. Then feelIng - Ing himself growing old and needing care , ho Imported a couple of elderly maiden ladles from Philadelphia to look after him In ihls declining years. But ! the rulcij of diet eot down by Dr. Agnes Silkerson were rigidly adhered to and the elderly ladles had to suffer on hygienic ifood with the rest of Smithvllle. Hezekiah B. Smith died on November 3 , 1897. and left lall Ills estate , real and per sonal , for the establishment and conduct of a school for the education and training of apprentices and young mechanics at Mount Holly. His widow and children filed an appeal on the ground that at'.tho ' tlmo of his death ho was mentally Incapacitated. After ycaro of litigation the suit has been decided In their favor , and now Smlthvlllo will go out of existence , and only the Iron house will stand as a monument to the memory of an eccentric man. There are three llttlo things which do moro , vork than any other three little things crc- ited they are the ant , the bee and DoWltt'e .ilttle Early Risers , the last being the famous Ittlo pills for stomach and liver troubled. t MILSICAI , ' IlK.tni.VG.

As to muslcpl biography , do not fall to own our old friend.

" Lady Wallace's translation of the "Letters" ot Beethoven , ot Mozart and of Mendelssohn , must ho familiarly known , and they are richly per sonal reading. So also are Mendelsohn's "Letters to Ignaz nnd Charlotte Moschclcs , " the varied Wagner's "Letters to Liszt" and his "Letters to Uhllfj. Fischer and Heine. " A further Incursion toward musical biography will suggest Flnck's mlnuto and eulogistic "Llfo of Wagner , " the labor of an authoritative specialist. It will bo wlso to add , If Its expense can bo afforded , Cham berlain's "Richard Wagner , " and Wagner's "Ring of the Nlnbelung. " In complete trans lation ; Praegcr's "Wagner as I Knew Him , " and Von Wolzogcii's "Guide Through the MucJc of the 'Nlbclung's Ring.1 " "TrUtan and Isolde" and "Parsifal" ( for this last scries of explanations may bo substituted these by Mr. Hclntz or by Mr. Gustav Kobbe ) , and Hc'ntz's ' "Guldo Through Wagner'e 'Masterslugcrs of NurnbcrK , ' " are special Wagnerlan additions to any library. Do not omit Dieter's "Brahms : A Biographical Sketch. " Mr. Pluck's valuable "Chopin and Other Musical 'Essays ' , " and Mr. Willeby'h "Chopin" are needed by nil Chopin players. Delightfully suggestive essays como to you In Hadow's "Studies In Modern Music" "and In Apthorp's "Musicians and Music-Lovers. " Of most distinctively musical fiction the least Mid thebetter. . U has run to sentl mentality , feeble theorizing acid gush. Cer tain tolerably robust classics like Miss Sheppard's "Cbirles Auchreter" with Hn Mendelssohn worship. Rail's "Mozart" and other old frlomls can nowadays wisely bo forgotten. Worthier examples ot the musical cal- novel are Sand's "Countess of Rudol stadt ; " Anderson's "Improvlsatorc. " mid "Only a Fiddler. " Mku Fotherglli'e "The First Violin , " with Its picture ot contem porary musical life In Germany Is a favor ite. Also to to named are Crawford'n "A Roman Singer ; " Schuben's "Asbolo , " an anonymous nnd beautiful study and story of the days of Hssso and Gluck. "Alccstis ; " and some recent stories dealing directly with music and musical human nature are Luskn's MAs It Was Written , " "Music Hath Charms , " Bagby's "Miss Traumerol ; ' Clark's "The Dominant Seventh" and Ste- vensoa's "A Matter of Temperament. " So much for only a modest but absorbingly Interesting book eholf of the music room or the beginnings of the town library's literary collection. The list would bo longer were It to Include works fci foreign languagea. especially German. For a single example the late Eugene Thayer's great "Llfo of Beethoven. " the standard rcid completes ! of all studies of the composer yet prepared though unfinished by the author Is still only In German. Dr. ChryMnJer'n heavy work on "Handel" Is also untranslated. So are important works by Spltta , Fetla , PoiiRln , Salnt-Saens , Hfnsllck and others. Each season , however , adds to the supply of trans- kited musical literature. It is somewhat unfortunate for the honor and Interest of American musical literature that no complete collection in fact hardly any collection at all ot the critical writings of the late Jol-n S. Dwlght of Boston has been , put together. Doth In and out of his "Journal of Music , " ho waa a learned , stimulating and charming essayist. Nor does any eolicctlcn of that sound and delightful Now York critic , the late John S. Hassard , seem to bo made. It should bo a labor of love to somebody soon. A AVOMJUUKUI * STAIUWAV. HcninrUaliliainlnx Itcccnfly DlNcov- ercil in CfiUrnl Aini-rleii. George Byron Gordon , the explorer , In the January Century gives an account of recent discoveries at Copan , under the title of "Tho Mysterious City of Honduras. " Mr Gordon says : The most extraordinary feature that our excavations have yet brought to light Is the hieroglyphic stairway already referred to. Faolng the plaza at the southern end , It oc cupied a central position on the western side of the high pyramidal elevation that forms the northern wing of the main structure. Even In the sad state nt ruin in which we behold it now , it affords a magnificent spec tacle. What must It have been In the days when It was entire , nnd reached from the floor of the plaza to the entrance of the tcmplo that stood on the height a 100 feet above ! When discovered , In 1S94 , this stairway was completely burled beneath the debris fallen from the temple , of which not ono atone remained upon another. The upper part of the stairway itself had also been thrown from Us place as If by an earth quake , and lay strewn upon the lower per tion. When , at length , after months of la bor , on which from fifty to 100 men were employed , the fallen material was cleared away , an aero or ground was covered with broken sculptures removed during the prog ress of the work , and the lower steps wcro found unharmed. In the center of the stair way , at the base. Is a throne or pedestal rising to the fifth step , and projecting eight feet In front. The design upon Its face Is rich In sculpture and delicate In detail. It Is made up In part of handsome faces , maskst death's-heads , nnd scrolls , beauti fully carved , and disposed with perfect symmetry , but the ensemble Is perfectly unintelligible. On 'the face of each step in the stairway is a row of hieroglyphs , carved In medium relief , running the entire length. At Intervals In the ascent the cen tre. Is occupied by a human figure of noble and commanding appearance , arrayed In splendid attire , seated on the steps. The upper parts of all these figure's wcro broken away , but the pieces of several wcro re covered and restored. On each sldo was a solid balustrades two feet thick ; the upper parts of these were also broken away , but by careful study and comparison , enough was recovered to enable us to make out the cu rious and complicated design. I'ortralt-Ilko busts Issuing from the jaws of grotesque monsters , standing out upon these balus trades , and repeated at regular Intervals , formed their principal adornment. Notwithstanding the arduous toll under the fierce rays ot a tropical sun , the exhuming of this stairway , In the construction of which the ancient sculptors exhausted the resources of their art , was a fascinating labor , and was performed under the constant stimulus of expectation , coil the excitement of discovery. When the last day's work was done and I stooj upon the broken throne at the base of the fitalruay , to take a last look at the ectno of my labors , eo famlllor had I grown with every feature of the place that It seemed to cost but llttlo effort of the mind to roll aside the mist that hid the past , and restore again the chattered fabric. From my position' I could BCD the whole plaza , with Its monuments and temple- crowned pyramids , In front of mo the smooth cemented pavement stretched away westward to a range of terraces that bounds It In that direction , but leaves unobstructed the view of the mountains beyond the valley. In other days the parting shafts of the nun struck the temple , and Its sculptured walls , adorned with t > ilnt and stucco , ( lashed In the light , until the shadows , mounting the throne and climbing the stairway , tliot above the highest tower , and loft tlio city wrapped In gloom. For a moment the pcakii ntood dark and glgantlo against the dazzling sun- let hues , crowned with glory ; then the colors faded rapidly , giving way to a r.alo glow ibovo the mountains , while sudden darkncau fell upcci the valley , Mualng on the scene , I .was dimly aware of a long array of shadows projected ( com the past. Nor was It altogether fancy. " * " TRY GRfllN-0 ! TRY GRAIN-0 AsK. your grocer today to sliow you a package ot OHAIN-O , the new food drink hat takes 'ho place of coffee.
