SHELTERING ARMS FREE HOSPITAL An" Appeal Made for This Most Deserving Insti? tution. . A few weeks ago tho Sheltering Arms Free Hospital made a publlo appeal for $000. This amount, usually appropriated by the city, has beon withdrawn, and tho Board of Managers are confronted by a most difficult problem?that of keeping open the doors of the hospital .longer than the first of May, without tlie neces? sary funds. There were eever.il responses to this appeal, and $'?18 received, ono hundred of which was given by one gontlomnn. With the strictest economy tho cost of a patient Is one dollar per day, For this amount every attention Is supplied, In? cluding medicine, trnlnod nursing and physician's attendance. Many surgical eiset are treated, and oCttlmos the most expensive drugs are roqulred, Tlie board fools that tho condition of affairs needs only to be known, when the charity-loving people of this community will come to the aid of this most noble Institution. jt Is the only entirely free hospital in the State.

Aggrieved over the llcenso tax Imposed upon them and hoping to secure rebates, over two hundred merchante?chiefly liquor doarjors?appeared at tho City Hall last night, expecting to bo heard by tho Committee on Finance, as a result of tho recent action taken by tho Common Council. Not over twenty, at the out side, wore admitted to tho privato sanc? tum of tho Commissioner of ltovonuo's room, whera the session was held, whllo the multitude awnlted patiently on tho outside, thinking surely their timo would come. Nothing definito resulted from the session. Howovor, beforo hearing from any of tho aggrieved dealers, tlio committee de? cided that only thoso who had Hied with the Common Council a genuino petition would be heard. In taking this action tho body decided that a list of over two hundred and fifty names wero not com? petent, although thoy had been submitted to the Council and referred. NOTHING BUT NAMES. The action of tl^e Finance Cornmltteo In ruling out this list recalls vividly tho wild scramble In tho Council chamber whon the liquor licenses wore up. It will bo remembered that at the conclusion of tho debato over the matter, tho saloon lsts present tumbled over ono another In an effort to havo filed with tho clerk a petition. Nino out of ten of the men sub? mitted only their names, foregoing tho, formality of writing an appeal In their hurry. City Clerk Ben T. August was suddenly possessed of blank letter heads, containing a elngle name; small slips of paper, long lists of names, corners of., newspapers, on which wns scribbled one or two unintelligible words. And thero wore a few properly drawn and fairly well worded petitions of complaint. When the committee met last night? nil of these papers wero on hand, and It was stated that ?very saloonlst in Rlohmond was represented In tho appli? cations by name, if nothing else, Tho body decided that only regularly drawn petitions would be consldarid, end tho clork was Instructed to pass by all papers on ?which was written only names and nothing moro, Including tho carefully complied, typewritten list of liquor dealers. When this was submitted. Mr. Cren? shaw stated that he wns In a position to provo that over fifty of tho people whoso names appeared on tho list wero not appealing and wero well satisfied with their present rating. REPRESENTED PAWNBROKERS. Captain George D. Wlso was admitted to the commjtteo room. Ho stated that he represented three pawnbrokers of tho city, all of whom desired to appeal from tho ratings of the body, but a closo ox-, animation fallod to reveal any formal pe? tition submitted by them to the Common Council. As a result Captain Wlso was not heard. After long discussion General Anderson moved that all regularly drawn petitions bo considered and reported upon to tho Council. This was passed. Three or four attorneys, nmnn? whom was Mr. Harry Smith, appeared in behalt of certain dealers. Under tho committee's ruling ho had only threo clients to repre? sent, and ho told tho committee that not ono of them was making money sufficient to warrant them paying as high a li? cense tax as Imposed. Mr, Smith said that Inasmuch as tho committee had decided not to consider names, lie would havo to present petitions for his clients at the meeting of tho Board of Aldermen to-night. No definite notion wns tnkon last night by the committee, as still other petitions are to bo considered. A report may bo formulated this week. DR.

They don't distill a drop of whiskey and have no connection with a distillery. For proof, see Government Reports, which give a list of every distillery in the United States, You won't find any of our imitators in this.list, but you will find "HAYNER," We art th? only distillers In the world who sell direct to consumers and we are the originators of the plan. Our success has bred scores of imitators, who are simply dealers. Some run grocery stores and sell liquors as a side issue. They buy to-day cheap spirits made yesterday, and, after "doctoring" it up, sell to-morrow as 8 to 20-year old whiskey. We have been distilling whiskey for 87 years, but that is too fast for us. It takes us 7 years to age our 7-year-old whiskey. We have tested the "stuff" sold by our imitators as whiskey of every age imaginable and we wouldn't be guilty of selling it. It's not whiskey, but cheap adulterated spirits and nearly half water. TheHwo essentials for making good whiskey are choice grain and pure water. Gov? ernment statistics prove that the Miami Valley, in the very heart of which our distillery is located, produces the best grain and has the purest water of any section of this country. We have one of the largest and most completely equipped distilleries in the World. There is more HAYNER WHISKEY sold than any other brand of whiskey in the world. We supply regularly >with HAYNER WHISKEY nearly half a million of the n^ost prominent and influential business and professional men, in this country, the very people who want the best and wouldn't be satisfied with anything else, No matter how much you pay you cannot get anything purer, better or more satisfactory than HAYNER WHISKEY? Remember it goes direct from our distillery to you, with all its original strength, richness and flavor, thus assuring you of perfect purity and saving you the enormous profits of the dealers, who are compelled to sell watered and adulterated "stuff" in order to meet a distiller's price. The cheaper they sell the more water and adulteration you get. Don't buy cheap adulterated spirits from our imitators, when you can get pure and unadulterated HAYNER WHISKEY? YOUR MONEY BACK, IF YOU'RE NOT SATISFIED. MID nCEBTD Wc wil1 send y?u F0UR FULL QUART bottles of hayner'sseven. UUn Ul G B-li YEAR-OLD RYE for $3.20, and we will pay the express charges. Try it and if you don't find it all right and as good as you ever used or can buy from anybody else at any price, then send it back at our expense and your 33.20 will be returned to you by next mail. > Just think that offer over, How could it be fairer?
