REVOCATION OF ANOTHER TREASURY DECISION
The new regulations OF the Treasury De-
pagtment for the valuation of foreign coins In the
assessment OF import duties have caused much annoy
ance and dissatisfaction among merchants resulting IN
numerous protests and appeals. There have been
large number OF cases involving the value OF the
Prussian thaler. which has been raised by the new
regulations from CO to 745 cents The act OF March
1863 provides that the o: tho standard coins IN
circulation of the nations Of the world shall be
estimated annually by the Director OF the Mint and be
proclaimed Jan. by the Secretary Of the Treasury
In the table of values which took effect on
jan 1, and which was issued by the Secretary
on Dec 90 1879 coins named except those which
IRE the units Of account different countries. The
thaler was therefore not mentioned the mark had
been substituted such unit in the German Empire
The old valuation OF the mark based the act OF May
o. 1896 which fixed the value of the thaer co cents
was % cents but in the table valued at
80 cents. three marks make thaer, the customs
officers this port in the assessment OF duties, held
that the valuation OF the thaer therefore changed
TO TAO cents and this was sustained by the treasury
Department.
This decision has Just been reversed by letter
Tuesday hy the Collector OF the PORT from
Secretary Richardson, in which he says: The Depart
f. OF opinion that until the value OF the thaer has
been officially proclaimed. In accordance with Che act Oh
March 1873 the value thereof hXed by the act OF May
20 1916 10 w.t. 90 cents should be taken the proper
value thereof estimating the value OF invoices made
out that currency As rule, IL may DC stated, IS
has been heretofore held In the letters OF the Depart
ment that all currences not fixed by the new table
issued by the Department slal taken at the value
fixed by the laws Of the United States In force p!or TO
the act OF March s. 1873.

A School Boy Flogs the Master
And Served Him Right.
From the Chicago Tribune.

w j. Weber has been teaching the "younr
idea how to shoot" at the village of Palos, some
thirty miles south of Chicago.
One day last month some Of the mischievously
inclined pupils captured about hafa dozen souir-
rels and carried them into the school-room. and.
waiting till the eyes Of the teacher were not up
on them, turned enc Of the risky little animals
loose 1t Immediately percbed upon the nearest
vacant desks, and with its antics created great
merriment among the children.
Mr.. Weber left his chair, and, while he was
attempting to capture the intruder, another was
turned loose, and still another, until-one after
another-the whole six were running around the
room. The master, striving vainly TO dispose of
the innocent cause Of the confusion, only added
more to the excitement, until the whole school
was in uproar and confusion-the girls Joining
with the boys in their pretended attempts to cap
ture the squirrels
At last order was restored and silence reigned
supreme except occasional litter from some
far of seat in the corner Weber now proposed
to have a settlement with the culprit or cupr!ts.
but as he had not seen the parties at the time the
squirrels were liberated, he did not know where
to commence. lie called on the offender, who
ever he was, TO walk up. No one walked mp.
Tic then asked some Of the smaller scholars 10
name The guilty one. There were no informers
present Finally, his patience becoming exbaus-
ted he called in loud tones "Who did it?"-
Echo answered "Who."
lie next rcsortod TO The schoolboys terror
the fcrrule-aud said no would fog the whole
school, and as The innocent would not inform
they should suffer with the guilty Thercupon
he began the srduous task Of inficGng corporal
punishment upon no less thar forty boys
After having gone about half way through the
school, he met with set back 10 one Of the boys,
Michael CaveDaugh who was blest with strong
arm ,incw, nerve and courage. when Cave
naugh's name was called, he stepped boldly up,
and with resOlutc demcanor, and an eye that
looked dangerous, informed the master that he
had no hand ia causing the merriment and.
therefore he would not suffer himseifio be dis
graced by quietly submitting to a lhrashing -
This was more than the irate Weber could stand,
so he walked into Cavcnaugh with a Vengeance
which The children stated was terrible to behold,
and here IL was that the boy found his strong
arm Of value, as he knocked The master down
and punished him severely for the assault.
Weber, feeling that bis dignity was outraged,
boarded the fret train for Chicago and, erriv-
iag here, swore out warrant for the arrest Of
Cavenaugh for assault and battery. Justice
Hillsdale beard the evidence against the lad aud
discharged him, stating ,ha, ,he boz had only
acted in sefdefcncs

A Remarkable Suicide.

NEW ORLEANS, May IA most remarkable
and tic suicide of a member Of one Of the

have been a suicide.

that the young man had won the maiden's heart

romance, and she accepted the hand Of the mer-
/ chan'. few days ago they ere married A
mong the guests present at the ceremony was the

never shone to better advantage. The quests
having departed the bride retired and the groom
and few friends gathered in the supper room
to drink a parting toast Just as the champagne
cork popped and flew to the ceiling the young
man entered, approached The groom and without
an angry or n warning word feled him 10 The
immediate encounter. The groom, much excited
insisted upon prompt settlement. The house
was searched high and low for weapons, and
nothing but an old pair Of rnsty foils found
The buttons were broken from these, the men
placed in position aud in moment more were
engaged in mortal combat. The young man was
the better swordsman, and by quick, sudden
pass disarmed his opponent, threw him on his
back and was in Tie act of thrusting his foil
through the struggling man throat, when the
door flew open and the bride clad in her night
dress, rushed in, threw herself between the COM
batantS, ard begged her husbands life from his
rivals hands. The young man, with an oath,
