Now York. September 27.—Captain Henry
NV. Horsate, formerly chief of the weather
bureau in Washington. 1). C., and who has
been a fugitive from justice since the
winter of itso-td, was arrested today at
W o'clock on Ninth street between Broad
way and Fourth avenue by Detective A- L.
Drummond, cf this city, acting for J. Sterl
ing Norton, secretary of agriculture at
.Washington.
Howgate was not only chief, but disburs
ing oiileer of the weather bureau. His em
bezzlement. forgeries and larcenies, it is
alleged, aggregated $370,000 at least. He
was an officer of the regular army and be
ing a genial, whole-souled man. had hosts
of friends. There are seven indictments
hanging over Howgate, each containing a
number of counts.
Howgate was arrested in 1881 but escaped
from an atlicei who had him in charge on
a visit to his home. He disappeared and
has not since been seen and identified by
any Unite i States officers. He was known
to have left Washington with a woman.
Jiot his wife, lie ha<. a family at that
time. He now has a daughter, who lives
at Newburyport, Miss. The woman with
whom he tied Irons Washington has long
since left him. Newgate was. when he
lied from Washington, an active, black
haired man in the prime of life. He is
now sixty years old, bent and broken and
with gray hair an 1 beard.
Though the United States officers have
been hunting all over the United States
lor Howgate, he has been living quietly
here in New York city as a dealer in
second-hand books. His place of business
was at No. 8; Fourth avenue, in a base
ment. He has had cards printed bearing
the name of "Harry Williams,'' and by
that name h. has for years been known
to the book ar.i ie of this and other cities.
Howgate's cards announced that he dealt
In "old magazine*, reviews and period!*
cals.” His residence was at No. 195 West
Tenth street, win re he Lad "bachelor lodg
ings" and kept a large amount of stock for
!>et- -tives hunted the continent over for
liowcate. lull without success. Four
months ago Drummond learned that How
gate was in the book business in this city
er Brooklyn. A systematic hunt of all
the book stores in the two cities was made.
It was believed that he was an employe, as
no bookseller named Howgate was known
to the trade. Whenever any of Drum
trend's agents learned that a man resemb
ling Howgate in appearance had teen found
in a bo»k«q>>n* that einpl ye war shadowed.
His acquaintance was formed and his
private life was fathomed by conversation,
They Found Him.
A we. k ago Drummond tried the plan of
haunting book sales auction rooms. It was
a happy thought. A clerk from the war de
partment in Washington u'io knew How
gate made the rounds of the bw>k auction
r oms every day. On Monday the clerk
gaw Howgate ent« r an auction room on
Broadway near Tenth street. The clerk
w is not certain, however, as Howgate had
changed. From a man weighing upwards
of 150 pounds he has grown to be a dried-up
old man of about H 5 pounds. The clerk
went again to the book sale on Tuesday
and entered into conversation with How
gate. From Howgate’s manner of speaking
the clerk was c< rtain that he stood before
the fugitive at last.
Drumm< n I took the midnight train for
Washington on Tuesday and yesterday got
a b nc.r warrant from Judge Bingham, of
the supreme court. He returned this morn
in. When Howgate was arrest«-d he re

Chicago, September s.—(Special.)—Andrew
i J. Baird, formerly a postotfice inspector,
was arrested at Eos Angeles, Cal., today,
on the charge of forging a largo number
: of postal orders, amounting to about (S.OuO.
! His manipulation of blank orders extended
over a number of years, and the postottico
authorities are congratulating themselves
on having at last captured one of the clev
erest swindiers that ever battled the in
spectors.
Chief Postotfice Inspector J. E. Stuart, of
Chicago, arrested the forger, with the aid
of a photograph, which was identified at
' Baird's old home in Georgia
Baird's career as a forger began last
spring. He was appointed a postotfice in
spector under the first administration of
President Cleveland, and was assigned to
duty in Georgia. He was subsequently re
moved. nut shortly after the present terin
of President Cleveland began his daughter
was appointed postmistress at EaGrange,
Ga., and Baird liecame her assistant. About
a year ago. there being evidence that the
EaGrange postofliee was not being prop
. erly conducted, an investigation was begun.
Inspector Baird's investigation had barely
i been liegun when Baird, the assistant, left
EaGrange su<l*lenly, taking with him all
the blank money orders and advices which
were in the oilice. The ex-lnspector was
not seen again for several months, but he
was heard from through the blank money
orders which he haa taken.
Within a few wet ks after his departure
from I.aGrange forged mopey orders turned
up at different places in the south, and
' fmm them the forger was believetl to be
J.aird. Four of these orders for SIOO each
wore cashed at the Chicagq postoffice and
others were presented and cashed at a
score of offices between Georgia and Mlnne-
■ sola.

GALLONS OF SPJKITS.
The Internal Revenue Receipt* This Year
Will go Almost to Sloo,ooo,o9o—The
People a Money Squandered.
Washington, September 25.—(Special.)—
Americans are accounted a fairly solier
people in the hurlyburly of nafions, but
the figures of the internal revenue commis
sioner for the past year are enough to make
a temperance crank stagger without a
drop of whisky or beer. The preacher, who
peruses them, will hie him to the ptilpit
and tell his congregation what a nation of
drunkards we are, stupefied* with drink
half the year and drugged with tobacco
the other half. ’That each year we squan
der upon these inventions of Belzebub
three times as much money as is required
to keep this great government in opera
tion and more than is represented by the
circulating medium of the United States.
And when the preacher goes to throwing
moral bombs he can load them with inter
esting, if not astounding facts, if he so
chooses.
We distilled last year 87.31G.881 gallons of
liquor not including 1,430,353 gallons es
brandy, making in all $8,777,187 gallons of
alcholic spirits. Expert bartenders esti
mate 63 drinks to the gallon. Therefore
there were 5,604,062,81)1 drinks produced in
this country.
A conservative estimate of how much
was imbibed across counters is about 37,-
OOU.OoO gallons of whisky, brandy and other
distilled spirits, or in other words we drank
e.Ol'xi.OUO.nio glasses of whisky for which we
paid over the bar $609,000,000 or $5,000,000
more than all the annual appropriations of
congress combined.
This represents a consumption of 100
glasses of whisky each year for every man,
woman and child between tho rock-bound
Pacific and the storm-tossed Atlantic, or
counting only the male adults !*>oo glasses
per week ouch.
(if beer the figures are equally astounding.
The consumption was 31,962.943 barrels;
that is 12,785.169,299 glasses; representing an
expenditure for this mode of teutonic hi
larity «>f $617,258,469, or about 19 cents for
<*Uch inhabitant. In tho neighliorhood of
229 glasses tire charged up in this calcula
tion against each of us as our annual allow
ance, therefore if we do not average our
daily glass we may be sure that our neigh
bors are petting the benefit of our absti
nence.
By estimating this year’s internal revenue
receipts from spirits on the basis of last
year’s product with the increased tax of
sl.lO per gallon, the internal revenue re
ceipts will lie $97,674,995.
There is some question as to the duty on
artificial teeth under the new tariff bill.
Both in the n*w law and in the McKinley
bill teeth are mentioned only once. In both
natural teeth or manufactured teeth i re
placed on the free list. Artificial teeth are
not named in either act. It has now be
come somewhat of a fad for dentists to use
artificially m.-uh- teeth instead of natural
teeth. As there is no duty required on ar
tificial teeth it would first appear that they
would be allowed to come in free, thereby
making platt s cons! lerably tower. The
treasury department has taken a flank
movement on artificial teeth, however, and
it has been decided that the same duty
shall be paid 0:1 artificial teeth as on other
manufactur is contalnitig similar materials.
For instance, if made of porcelain then
teeth are dutiable at the same rates
as cups, sain ers and p.sie , ,ip. of that
material. If of ivor.» the duty is (he same
as that imposed on ivory billiard balls.
This will jiossibly be corrected at ttie next
session, teo’h being put on the fre" list
thereby putting good, solid molars within
the reach of everyL>dy.
The democratic campaign committee has
issued a statement sin wing how the repub
licans male away with (lie enormous sur
plus turned ever to them by the demoer. ts in
lX!v. Tile statement shows tnat at the cioae
of Mr. Cleveland’s first adniinistrat on
there was left a surplus in the treasury of
$5,",u,343,V16.12. Tills sum was not named in
the statement of 13$>, for the reason that
(he democrats did not Include the gold re
serve, the subsidiary coin and other funds.
The republicans after squandering in
three years $ 7,9!<7.A07.32 in paying premiums
on bonds and wasting money in other di
rections found it necessary in order to make
a favorable statement of the condition of
the treasury to revise the method of ac
counting and added the gold reserve, the
subsidiary c >in and other moneys held for
the redemption of notes to the ste’ement
of available cash. If the same form of
statement used by the democrats hail been
retained it would have shown that there
was not a dollar of available cash in the
treasury.
In summing up the diff rences in the
financial management of the two adminis
trations the statement shows that includ
ing the gold reserve, the democrais turned
over to President Harrison $3.’'.0.:f4(.'*16.12 as
availab! • caeh, while four years later the
rcpuliliians turned over to the democrats
but $162,493,920.78, having reduced the so
called surplus $167,i“19,728.31. The . panic of
was, the statement shows, dearly at
tributable to the condition <>f the treasury
and the effect upon the. public credit of re
publican extravagance.

and alxuit twenty-live representatives of

The dc!< xales organized as the Western
Distributors’ Association, electing Frank
Corning, of Peoria, president, ami G orgq
Deiter, of Cincinnati, secretary. While the
representatixos of the western distributors
are all members of the Distilling and Cat
tle Feeding Company, the meeting had no
official connection with what is popularly
know n a Ihe w h ekj t r mt.
The false reports and r tutors circulate 1
of late have caused a fee Ing among the
tr:uie that thij'e must be unity of feeling
and unity of action to protect their com
mon interest! 1 , and whether or not tho whis
ky trust is reor .anized, there arc c rtaia
modifications which must hi made to sat
isfy the trade. It is an open secret that
there are many important factors within
the trust who disapprove of many acts of
the so-called trust, but who are ]x>werless
to effect reforms under the present condi
tion of affairs.
The r« bate voucher system which has
lx*en adhered to by th- trust up to the pres
ent time has beer, the < auae of much < on
tent ion among customers, not so much on
account of the I cents ye ate as the length
of time the rebate is withheld. Customers
who approve of selling on a $1.33 basis,
at which price they have a clear profit of
7 cents per gallon, think that the present
time, six months, la entirely too long to
leave their money in the hands of the com
pany and ask a shortening of time if not a
reduction in rebate. Others believe that the
rebate should be reduced to 2 cents per
gallon and the time of payment contracted
to ninety days, if not less. Others demand
that no rebate be exacted by the company,
but that the goods be sold fiat at $1.26 per
gallon. The clamoring of the trade makex
it imperative that some modllh'ations be
made by the company and It is known that
the western distributors have taken action
looking toward a redress of grievances, but
no official action can be taken before the
matter is brought directly before the trus
tees or submitted to a stockholders’ meet
ing.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN f
Fact or Fiction A boat Two Great
Fair Awards.
A newspaper paragraph denounces as
"false” the claim of a baking powder com
pany to an award at the world’s fair. Whom
can it mean?
Certainly not Dr. Price’s. Why? Be
cause, as the records show, Dr. Price’s ex
hibited, competed and received the highest
award, both at Chicago and the California
Midwinter fair. The award in California
included gold medal. The official examiners
pronounced it the strongest, the purest,
the most wholesome and efficient of all
the baking powders. Its title to confidence
is unquestioned.
Can it be the manufacturers of a New
York powder, fictitiously labeled "absolutely
pure,” who are making “false” claims? That
would be strange indeed, inasmuch as they
were not even considered in the awards.
Was it ammonia in the New York powder
that prevented its makers from compet
ing? If nut, what?
INTERNAL REVENIE RECEIPTS;
The Withdrawal of Wbl«lcy from Rond
Caused a Large Increase.
Washington, September 27.—Commissioner
Miller has prepared a statement showing
in detail the collections of internal revenue
taxes for the past two months. The aggre
gate is stated tu be $51,924,8(8 ajjiinst $1 >,-
0.U.304 for the corresponding period of If.U,
as follows: Spirits, $39,705,'J(J9, an increase
of $26,468,000; tobacco, $5,021,bx», an in-, tease
of $655,450; fermented liquors, 837,0b', a de
crease of $310,877, ami misceliane<ju«, $38,-
•95, an increase of $15,812. Os the ?:.9,705,e00
collected from spirits $36,01'3,00(» was on
whisky alone, showing that in two months
nearly 49,000,000 gallons of whisky were
taken out of bond in anticipation of the in
creased tax. It is estimated that the
monthly consumption of whisky in the
United States is 8,900,000 gallons, so thnt
dealers have on hand a supply of several
months, which, until it is exhausted, will
not necessitate further withdrawals from
bond amt this will not bring internal reve
nue receipts up to their normal figure before
December or Janu ry next.

pilation, says The Tradesman, is the fall
ing off In companies of a speculative nature
and the steady increase in industries of a
more useful character. In the third quar
ter of 1891, there were sixty land companies
organized, agaifist only thirteen in the past
qua rter.
During' the three months the new phos
phate industries in the south were increased
by 12 companies; 7 in Florida; 2 in Tennes
see; 2 in Georgia, and 1 in Virginia. Twen
ty-nine mining companies were organized;
129 saw and planing mills, box factories
and other woedworking plants were organ
ized in the three months, Alabama leading
with 1»; Arkansas 16; Florida. 15; Tennessee
13; Mississippi 10. Forty-three flour and
grist mills were established. North Caro
lina leading with 10; Kentucky and Texas
6 each; Tennessee and Alabama 4 each,
and the balance about equally distributed.
The Tradesman calls especial attention
to the substantial progress in the cotton
mill industry In the south in the pest quar
ter and reports 39 new establishments,
against 22 in the corresponding period of
1893. Georgia heads the list with 9; North
Carolina has 7; South Carolina 5; Alabama
and Texes 4 each; Tennessee I!Florida and
Louisiana 2 each, Arkansas, Kentucky and
Virginia 1 each. There were 28 new elee
tri" light plants established, against 17 for
the same period of 1393, and were equally
distributed ovar the south; 33 waterworks
comuaniea were formed against 27 in the
same period last year; 24 foundries and
machine shops were established in the
three months; 15 cotton oil mills; 10 can
ning factories; 6 barrel factories; 8 brick
and tile works, and 2 blast furnace com
panies were formed notwithstanding the
dullness in iron, besides 74 miscellaneous
industries.
The Tradesman adds that the reports
from all sections of the south point to a
substantial revival in manufacturing in
dustries, enlargement of old plants and a
very marked increase in orders.

BISHOP Sl’Al 1.11 ING’S STATEMENT
In Reference to the Criticism of
IHnhop Keane.
Peoria, 111.. September 24,-The following
written statement was today issued by
Bishop Spaulding with reference to ihe crit
icism upon his American Protective Asso
ciation article in The North American Re
view by Bishop Keane: .
•I have real B.shop Keanes criticism
on irv article in The North American Re
view and as it has not been disowned. I
must suppose it to be authentic. *Le <ni<.
question ir. whether what I have puokshel
In The Review is true. A thing may be
unfortunately true and this is doubtless
what Bishop Keane means when he calls
my article unfoitunate. He says also that
it Is untimely, but 1 fail to see how this
epithet can be applied in any right sense
to the honest anl dispassionate d.scusslon
of a subject which now attracts general
attention, and is not without importan e.
If my very moderate expression of views
on a question which is actually before the
public and which ir. of concern both to
the church and to the country is to be con
drrnned as unfortunate and ill-timed, then
rational discussion am >ng Catholics is no
longer to bo thought of. ««'■! Catholic uni
vers'illtv is but a pretense. If w rit is said
of Cardinal Cibbo:’- is true the least I can
do 1 suppose, is to rev rot that he should
have to n irret to express his r-cret to the
pope. Regrets, however, are Idle an I the
manly and American thing to do is to con
front me with arguments and not to at
tempt to frighten me with groanings.
