| win There be Immediate Changes c
Collectors of Public Revenues?
WASHINGTON, March 9Th - Democratic
politicians do not think that officers in
| trusted with the collection of public reve-
nues Eili be allowed to retain their places
until their commissions expire, inasmuch,
they say, that as the President has ap-
| pointed new men to diSburse the funds, he
has right to demand that officers of his
own choice be Immediately appointed to
collect the taxes. Being responsible for
| the disbursements of the revenues, he
should select his own men to collect them.
| IL Is reported that before the Senate ad-
journs test case will be made by the re
| mOvaj OF some prominent Collector of Gus
toms such az Robertson III New York. or
Hartranftin Philadelphia, and the appoint
ment of a Democrat in his place, The
President, it is thought VIII send 3 mes
sage to the Senate, giving in explicit form
| his reason for making the change, based
| upon the foregoing argument. Tie Re
i publicans, holding the power, can deter
mine whether they will confirm the nomi-
\
| numerous changes in the customs and
federal revenue service. ff they refuse, it
IS not likely that changes in these depart
ments @'tl be made otlcneF than the com
missions OF the present incumbents expire,
| or good tluse Tor removals is given.

Another spirituaiistic Fraud Exposed.
| ST LOUIS, March CHA sensational ex-
pose of spiT1tualistic fraud occurred At 1913
| Chestnut street Wednesday. Mrs. Mamie
| Miller, medium well known in New York,
! Chicago and Denver, has been giving some
wonderful seances at the above number for
| the last month. Her manifestations have
| been the talk of the town and have enlisted
the attention of score of scientific men
who have attended the seances, paying an
exceedingly high price for the privilege
The phenomena nonplussed the gentlemen,
who took up r1uch space in the papers to
explain it. Professor Johnson, of Wash
| ingtOn University, and Professor Madden,
of Johnson's Commercial College, were
skcptical of Mrs. Miller's powers and to
| test her they went to a seance with num-
Der of well-known people. When the lights
were turned down the audience began sing
ing The Sweet ByandBy. Suddenly
out from the cabinet came q young man
with pale face and ghostly appearance
He beCkoued TO Professor Madden and said
he was his brother, who died number Of
Yeas ago. The Professor Immediately
grabbed the ghost, and Professor Johnson
| struck light and rushed for the cabinet.
| Meanwhile the ghost get up a terrible
shrieking, and Mir. Miller rushed in and
was promptly knocked down and sat upon.
| The lights were turned up, and the ghost
was found TO be Hrs. Miller in mems
clothes. The skeptics ransacked the cabi-
net and brought out two armfuls Of CO.'S
tunes. ooh, this is too badW screamed
the ghost, struggling in the arms Of the
Professor. The whole room was by this
! time i'll an uproar, and the skeptics sent for
two policemen, who placed the medium
and her husband under arrest. The para
phernalia was confiscated and taken TO DO
lice headquarters, where warrants charging
Mamie Miller and her husband Thomas
Miller, with fraud were sworn out.
Importans to Hop-growers and Brewers
NEW YORK, March 6th.-The National
Convention of Brewers, which assemblies
here on the Goth of May promises to be inn
| pOrtant, on account Of the differences exist
ing between the hop-growers and brewers.
! The bill passed by the State Legislature,
making the legal tare on each bale OF
b
conflict and confusion, the brewers having
established a rule of seven pounds tare
One result has been an antagonism between
farmers and brewers, manifested in the in
| PRODUCTION of a bill in the present Legisla-
ture by the farming interests, compelling
the brewers to affix to each keg label
showing the ingredients of the beer or ale
sold. The brewers and hop trade are it is
said, favorable TO uniform tare of five
pounds, but rs this does not meet the views
of the farmers no change in the present sys-
TEN is likely. The brewers say if they can
not buy within the State limits with the
tare claimed by them, they will purchase in
New Jersey. A leading hop dealer says ne
business is practically dead, owing mainly
TO reproduction. After the big rise two
years ago, when hops went up to 81 per
pound, the brewers discovered that 50 per
cent. more strength could be extracted
from the hops This has amounted to an
