A GREAT INTEREST

Strong Arguments Before the Ways and
Means Committee Against n Reduction
in the Higher Wool Trnfic.
Mr.. John l.. Hayes, of Boston, secretary Of
the executive committee Of tho National
Wooden Manufacturers association; Messrs.
Fairbank and Kendall, Of the Bigelow Carpet
company; John Sloane, of the New York firm
of W. & j. Sloane, carpet importers and man
ufacturers; J. l.. Houston, president of the
Hartford Carpet company; Robert ornan, of
Philadelphia, carpet manufactures; VIM. Whit
man, of the Arlington mills, Boston, and MIR.
Amidon, of tho firm Of A. A. Lane, of New
York, were before the committee on ways and
means yesterday in the interest of wooden
manufacturers Of the country. Mr.. John L.
Hayes read carefully. prepared paper against
any change in the tariff on wooden goods, on
the ground that the tariff legislation of 1883
was, in its nature treaty with foreign
power. 1t was in the view Of the stability of
that legislation lat least for reasonable
time) that the wooden manu- featuring inter-
ests had accepted it, and had submitted to
some of its noxious provisions.
They had been ready to submit to tenn
porary sacrifices for the certainty of future
peace. Any material modification of the
duties on wool or wooden goods would be
felt instantly in every wooden mill in the
country. In the faith of the legislation of
last year they had contracted for,or enlarged,
OF adapted machinery, had designed goods,
and had made contracts. No one could deny
the injustice of disturbing those arrange
ments by a radical disturbance Of duties.
The instability of tariff legislation had been
the bane of tho wooden interests of the
country.
Mr.. Whitman appeared in the same in
terest but his statement was confined to n
series of questions and answers in relation to
the effect of a horizontal reduction Of duties,
and how (supposing the existing tariff rates
to have been equitably proportioned) a
horizontal reduction could alter those rela-
tions also, as to the effect which the aboli-
ton of the duty op raw wool would have on

LINCOLN HALL-BRIaNoLI.

The production of Donizetti's charming
comic opera of Don Pasquale" tonight ut
Lincoln hall will be not only musical en-
tertainment of high order, but the social
event Of the week. signor Brignoli is de-
clared to be in better voice now than for ten
years past, and as this is favorite opera Of
his, he may be expected to sing his part with
old-time fire. The President has expressed
his intention to be present, and the fact that
Brignoli will devote the entire proceeds of
the evening for the benefit Of tho sufferers by
floods out west gives an additional attraction
to the event. Madame Godini, the well-known
soprano, and Signors Leoncini and Mama
will support Brignoli. Seats may still be had

IN Memory Of DR.. y. Marion Sims, from The Spdnist
The waters in rivers flow on TO the sea,
Eastward forever Is turning the oarth,
Only in wintry chimes can the ice be
omuipotent light to each day givelh birth.
In the shade Of the forest bright flowers grow
BY fountains like crystal so clear;
Man has life, man has death, but his soul who
shall know,
The soul to divinity near.
Marion Sims lived, ana has gone TO the grave,
But wherever no moved flowers bloom
By gratitude cherished they ever shall wave,
And shed their immortal perfume.
Great son of the south a Castilian sings
His praises Of thee DER thy bier.
And bowed by the weight Of the grief that no
brings,
Bends DER thee with many tear!
Now, 10 the aged maiden all over TIE land
The high-coored valentine goes
1t showeth slim shanks and skeleton hand,
And q mole on the deck Of the nose;
But to the sweet maiden with eyes like the dove
Whom the average young man would viii.
Goes a rare work OF art, for which, in his love,
He blowed weeks salary in.

1t was the gala performance of tho operate
season, and the house was packed by the
immense crowd gathered to hear Audran's
masterpiece as it can only be rendered by the
Ideals. 1t was hot and muggy outside, and
within the air was heavy with the odor Of
crushed flowers, and not zephyr stirred the
hundred gas jets whose flame lifted the
temperature up to summer heat. On the

loving embrace; she filled with the sweet
ecstacy of love for the handsome shepherd who
lifted up his voice in song at his deliverance
from the scaffold to the arms of the beauti-
