Atlanta, Fob. 10.?In a nutised i grave of a country graveyard, near j .Macon, an illicit distillery was found last, week l?v the revenue force. Monday, officers in the York sot 11 fin oh t or t he "Dark Corner" of! South Carolina, found three childron, j each of whom is under ten years, making brandy with a still which' they had constructed themselves. | The distillery in the graveyard was concealed within th" grave, an! the dirt was heaped up in a way to give the impression that the grave! had been used. The owner of the distillery had first opened the grave,' fixed in the still, then placed planks across the top and covered them with earth. At one end, but very carefully bidden, lie had left an opening by which he might enter and go out. In the gray of the morning, a negro passing along the road that runs bv the church yard, saw a head apparently bob up out of a grave, then quickly disappear. lie didn't stop to investigate, and he was still speechless when be reached the next house. Others took the matter up and a small party was formed. When tli,, ivmi'. v mi'.I >> "" ........ i. > ? . .. n' VI n <10 I r,n IU'd, 111!')' formed a line; and slowly closed in on the uncanny grave. F.ut Instead of thi> weird things tludr Imagination had painted, they found the opening at one end and the still inside. It is believed that this distillery had been operated for some time, but even tlvose living within the immediate vicinity were unaware of its presence. The liquor it produced is said to have had a peculiar depressing and saddening effect. After drinking it, one's desire was to sing, "Hark From the Tomb a Doleful Sound," instead of "We Won't Go Home 'Till Morning." The place where the children wer* discovered making illicit whiskey tr not far from Asheville. They had constructed a complete still themselves, and were making brandy of as good quality .as any that can be distilled. A wooden bucket served them as cap, a pair of kegs were used as doublets, and a bored-out poplar limb served as a worm. The oflicors say that not one of he children could have been over ten years.

ItFPOItT FIIO.M JAPAN Says Papers Over There Are Copying Yellow American Tales. Tokio, Fob. 10. Sensational reports of the anti-Japanese sentiment in t he Pari He States, pnhl I shed in the papers here are havinir si nmrK-???i influence on public fooling. All foreigners doing business hero are likely lo bo adversely affected, as in the minds of all but the educated .Japanese, who are relatively few members, all foreigners are alike. The sensational llochi appeals to the passions and prejudices of its readers, concluding with the proverb, "Fvcn Ituddhc loses patience if his face is slapped thrice." The more conservative Asahi urges patience on its readers and reliance? upon the better element in America for protection of t he rights of the Japanese living there. The olllcial situation remains unchanged, assurances being given that Japan is in no fear that the action of a State legislature will be per- i in it ted to interrupt friendly relations with the United States.

It is a fact, however, that five young women of about tin* same ;ige ami social eondit ion, have been mysteriously murdered in the Ohio city and there are various tangible cirrumstanr? j which seem to connect t lie ci i nies. The police call the supposed r....rderer "tick the Ktrangler," from t ho fact that till of the girls were apparently killed by the clutch of a monster's hand upon the throat.

The body had been wrapped in a pitce of gunny sack. The police went out to solve the mystery without any definite clue or theory as to a possible motive. The girl was known as of good character.
