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

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

The Park commissioners held their regu

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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 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.

In the way of musical literature , says a

As to muslcpl biography , do not fall to own
our old friend. Srhlndler's "Life of Bee

charming ns It Is suggestive ) , end Wagner's
"Beethoven : An Kseny. " Lady Wallace's
translation of the "Letters" ot Beethoven ,
ot Mozart and of Mendelssohn , must ho
familiarly known , and they are richly per

"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

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

"Only a Fiddler. " Mku Fotherglli'e "The

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

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. " * "
