Only One-Fourth Pure Whiskev Wilson Finds That Blenders Get Remaindor ol Country's Output. Secretary Wilson says that his visit to some of the Baltimore dis tilleries in company with Dr. II. W. Wiley, chief of the 3 reau of Chemistry, and George F. McCabe, the law officer of the Agricultural Department, has been productive of good results. They examined the operations of two distilleries, one blending establishment and a gin still, with a view to ascertain ing precisely how the liquors are made. At the gin still only six barrels of the liquor are manufactured each day. It is pronounced pure by Dr. Wiley, but not a gal'on of it is sold in the market. It is sold exclusive ly to blenders, who mix the pure gin with neutral spirits and some flavoring material, and that pro duct is put on the market as gin. They also discovered that three fourths of the straight whiskey made in this country is sold to blenders, who use it in connection with spirits and flavoring and color ing matter to make their products. As a consequence ot the investi gation it is quite probable Secretary Wilson will not recede from his de cision, that the so-called "bended whiskies," artifically colored and flavored, were "spurious imitations of whiskey and that "the mixture of such an imitation with a genuine article cannot be regarded as a mix ture of like substances within the letter and intent of the law. McHenry Whiskey is pu.e and is sold only in bottles so that blend ers cannot use it to mix with im pure ingredients. A fine new line of Wedding in vitations just received at this office. " 3t.

Application was made at Harris burg for a charier for the Harwood Transmission Company, but for some reason Governor Penn packer refused to sign the necessary papers, giving no reason for his action. It is the intention of this compa ny to manufacture electricity and furnish il for the purposes of light, heat and power in the counties of Luzerne, Columbia, Schuylkill Berks, Lehigh and Northumberland. The principal incorporator of the company is Calvin Pardee, Sr., of Philadelphia. The other stock holders are Alfred Pardee, Ario Pardee, Calvin Pardee, Jr., and A. W. Drake, general superintendent of the Lattimer and Harwood coal mines. The coal operators have conceived the idaof manufacturing electricity at the mines, where fuel is cheap, and then marketing the magic fluid to all the country for miles around. A big power plant is bi-ing erected at Harwood and lines of wires will reach from the mines to Reading. Allentown, Sun bury, Milton, Northumberland, Danville, Mauch Chunk, Pottsville, Shamokin, Bloomsburg and all the towns and hamlets where electricity can be used. The idea of the coal operators ij that they can manufac ture and develop electricity at such a trifling cost that they can under sell any one else in the market. The main article so essential in the production of electricity, coal, is, there in abundance. The men in this enterprise propose to utilize the vast banks of culm and rice coal that have accumulated during the last half century for producing steam with which to run the elec trical works. The projectors of the Harwood Transmission Company are con6dent that the cojt of elec tricity, taking into account mainte nance of poles and wires and inter est on the investment, can be con siderably reduced by locating the power plants at the mines, thus saving the freight on the coal $t-75 per ton to Philadelphia and $1.80 to New York and the cost of its handling in the manufacturing centres where it is used now in gen erating electricity. For the present the projectors of the company do not care to give out any figures as to the probable percentage of reduc tion in the cost under the method they have in view. - . Railroad Mail Too High. Congress Likely to Make a Cut ot Ten Percent. The Post Office Committee of the House will recommend a 10 per cent, cut in the amount paid to rail roads for carrying the mails. Rail way mail pay and subsidies now amount to $43,000,000 annually, aud the proposed cut will mean a saving of about $4 500,000 a year. The committee in an informal vote, stcod 12 to 6 in favor of the reduct ion. Seccond Assistant Postmaster General Shallenherger was before the committee last week and pro pounded two startling propositions Heretofore be has maintained that the money paid to railways for car rying 'tthe mails is fair. He sur prised the committee, therefore, by declaring that he favored a cut of 6 percent. The committee went him 4 per cent, better. Shallcnberger's second surprise came when he said that there is no such tremendous loss to the depart ment as has been claimed in the transportation of second-class mail matter. Up to this time the depart ment has maintained that the ratio of loss was between 8 and 9 to 1. In :he fiscal year the receipts from second-class matter were $3,000,000 and the cost ot transportation was estimated at $27,000,000. Mr. Sballenberger now says there is no such tremendous difference as this. He now believes that second-class matter pays its own way. This will probably explode the move ment to have the charge for carry ing second class mail matter in creased. I Give Honor to Whom It is Due. Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, of Rondout, N.

A Tatnaiiqua correspondent of the Philadelphia Accord says: Farmers are neither romancers nor prevaricators. When they speak their1 words ore heavy-laden with trutn. Such being the condi tion, general credence is given the stories that aie being told by the worthy grangers of the West Penn and the Lehigh and Mahononing Valleys regarding I lie phenomena of a spring like winter. Blue birds have been seen by fully a score of farmers, while al most every granger who has stirred from his house has seen robins. One worthy ye man, who is a dea con in a West Penn church assever ates that for the past five mornings he has been awake led by the pip ng of the robins. He also de. lares that the chorus of the crickets, blending with "me-rum" of the frogs in a swamp on his land, have lulled him to sleep for three weeks past. On one farm in Mahononing the cherry trees are in blossom and birds are mating and building their nests The sloping fields of this beautiful countryside are blanketed with green and flecked with the golden dandelion fl .wers. Gazing upon this vernal scene, it is only natural that the hens in the barn yard should forthwith refuse to lay, take to a nest and clamor for eggs to batch out. One farmer says that out of a flock of 25 heus 21 are "hatchy." This farmer is not a deacon Li a church, but he does teach a Sunday school class. But it is from the Lehigh Valley that the most amazing story comes. There the horses and cattle are shedding their winter coats, the leaves are coming out on the apple as well as the cherry trees and in the woods trailing arbutus is raising its bead timidly above the dead leaves. On a farm close to the Schuylkill line a granger and two of his help ers tell of a terrific battle they saw on Thursday last between a bull finch and a snake. The. tillers of the soil say on their honor that the bnll-fmch was protecting a nest in which there were two eggs. The snake, they say, was extremely lively, showing that he had been out of his winter quarters a suffi cient time to allow his siuggishness to wear off. The bull-finch picked the snake to death. - - Makk a note now to get Ely's Cream Balm if you are troubled with nasal catarrh, hay fever or cold in the head.
