your thoughts along paths profitable alike to both of us.
Alas, I cannot come to you, but l am comforted In knowing

fered from chronic bronchitis, I was weak In body and slow
of mind. When hope had all but vanished, a dear, old
friend brought me Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. I took it ac
cording to directions —a dessertspoonful three times a day.
You know full well what a cure was wrought in my case.
"Today I atn strong, robust, healthy. My throat Is com

Supervising Inspectors to Act on New
York's Complaint January 17.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1 Whether
the government can put a stop to the
whistle nuisance in New York har
bor. of .which complaint has been
made to the secretary of treasury,
and by him referred to the depart
ment of commerce and labor, is a
question which will be dealt with by
the Steamboat Inspection Service at
the annual meeting of the supervls
-1 Itig inspectors to be held In this city
or. January 17.
This was decided on today by Sec
ritary Metcalf, who is of the opinion
| that the steamboat Inspectors alone
arc capable of dealing with the merits
|of the controversy fairly. There is
i some question in the minds of the
commerce of labor officials whether
i the government ran control the use
of steamboat whistles, no matter
whether unnecessary signals arc giv
en or not. The rules against "mis-
I behavior" on the part of steamboat
1 captains has never been applied in a
case of this kind, and at present the
1 statute is not spaciflc enough to cov
, er such violation
It is believed that the steamboat In
*1 ectora at their annual meeting will
dent the matter of sufficient Import
ance to draw up a special rule bv
which the unnecessary use of whis
tles may be punishable under the gen
era! charge of "mlabehavior.” This, if
signed hy the secretary of the depart
ment of commerce and labor, will be
come a law.

I personally thanked him for it, not

him that I appreciated his kindness.
Then he told me that he had been

was present and saw the occurrence
to make a full report of the affair.
I consider the sergeant one of my

Lieutenant Butler is not a graduate
of West Point but of the Michigan Mi

the Spanish-Atnerican war, having
served two years in the Philippines.
There was a rumor prevailing yes

'try pleasantly. Dally the walka
r round the hotel and In the neighbor
ly country are crowded with guests
taking advantage of the good weather
and on the rainy days the billiard
nom Is filled. There are no dull mo
ments to those who desire wholesome
pleasure for every taste is appealed
to and every one pleased, if possible.
Driving Is as popular as ever, and
tb« hotel stables, which are aR fine
as any in the south, are doing a fine
business. The clear crisp days are
fine for man and beast, and there are
parties made up frequently to take
iong drives.
The weather of yesterday had
lather a quieting effect upon the
guests, but in spite of this there could
be- heard the clicking of the billiard
balls and the soft and sometimes
rather forcible ejaculation that fol
lowed either a particularly fine shot
or poor one. The tables were occu
l led practically during the whole day
and the guests seem never to tire of
this excellent game. It 1® an ideal
rainy weather amusement and at the
Bon Air, where the tables are fine
and the balls of the best quality, the
game is more popular than usual at
the resort. Shuffle-board is another
game that is popular, especially with
the ladies. This is another ideal rainy
aay game and is especially appre
ciated by the women guests of the ho
tel. Tb' board is of the best quality
and the game can be played with pre
cision that is difficult to obtain on
the inferior quality of tables.
New Years day was livened up to
some extent by a progressive euchre
tarty which was attended by many
of the guests and enjoyed by all who
attended. The party was held in the
sun parlor and the weather was ideal.
" hose present whiled away the even

praises heard of the entertainment.
Those present were: Mr. and Mrs.
