Mr.. Mills interviewed on the Effects OF
the Tariff Bill.

the Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, March I'm an inter.
view with representative of the Uuited
Press on the Tariff bill, which was sub.
mitted to the ways and means committee
yesterday morning, Mr.. Mills said: ~To
begin with, let US glance at the free list.
There are two or three hundred articles
on which the duty is to be removed
large humber of these articles thus placed
on the free list are of minor Importance
and the effect can in no wise affect Our
industries, and where n country charges
an import duty upon any of the articlys
named, the present duty will remain. The
principal item is lumber, and as to some
of the articles placed on the free list. the
result will be to break up a few
of the numerous trusts now form.
ing in the country. The total amount
of reduction that will arise from
the extension of the free list wilr ,lhe
something like S22, 100000. The reduction
on wool and wooden goods will amount 90
about $12,000,00H. On sugar a reduction
is made of about 81, 900, 900. One result Of
this will be to break up the infamous
sugar trusts that have formed for the pur.
pose OF increasing the price of that article
The reduction on iron and steel rails. etc.
are small, and l think the importa ton nj
such articles will not be materially In.
creased. On imported tobacco, in leaf
manufactured and not sten,mee. we have
fixed the duty at fifty-five cents per
pound. SuuatTa Is included

That $4,000 House,

Personally, and in the name of the
Potomac Boat Club, wish to assure our
friends and the public generally that
the donation of the $4,000 house is a
bona fide scheme, in conjunction with
the Fair now being held by the club to
liQuidate an Indebtedness on our boat
house property. Every ticket-holdcr will
have an equal chance to become the pos
SCISSOR of this beautiful home.
After the Fair is over, and all the unsold
tickets are gathered in, the ticket holders
will be called together by advertisement,
and they shall appoint committee, on
which not one member of the Potomac
Boat Club shall he. This committee must
be composed Of twenty-five or fifty per-
sons whose integrity viii be beyond ques-
ton, and they. will see that the matter is
conducted fairly and in the interest Of the
ticket holders.
The question has been asked, Suppose
there are not enough tickets sold to cover
the cost of the house, what will be done
with the money!
If such thing were probable, and from
present indications do not think it Is,
assure the public that every ticket will be
redeemed in full, and TO this end hold
myself personally responsible.
! further assure the public that only the
numbers of tile tickets which have
actually been sold will come in competi
ton for the house, and no tickets fol
which the actual cash has not been re-
ceived will come in that competition.

President Potomac Boat Club.

Willing 10 slax Right Therc,

The young man has asked hlm for the
hand of his daughter and pang wrung
the fathery heart of Mr.. Kajones as he
looked at the youth for some moments in
silence and thought of the bitterness of
parting within well-beloved child.
II suppose, Oliver he said, at last,
sit is only natural and right that when
the young birds have become old enough
to fly they should leave their parental
nest and so off with their chosen mates to
build nests Of their own, and yet it hurts,
Oliyer-it hurts when | think of one of
my iledglings getting ready to fly away
This seems to be good-sized nest, -

soften the blow; perhaps you'd rather
have me and Alvira stay right here"

A VIEW OF Low LIFE.
Not from "a Moral Standpoint, But in
an Entirely Physical Sense.


an Entirely Physical Sense.
When thepulse beats feebly; when the
energy is gone; when the appetite is weak
and sleep uncertain, then the body is in a
condition of actual Glow Life" No mat
ter what the cause may have been, Nature
has given way, and unless her strength is
restored disease is certain to take posses
sion of the body. The first thing any doc
tor does in such a case Is TO assist Nature.
Here are some Instances:
Professor Austin Flint of Bellevue New
York; College says: "rhe judicious use of
alcoholic stimulants is one of the striking
characteristics of progress in the practice

The well known Professor Joseph Par.

steady the heart, slow the pulse warm the

Frisco street-Car Etiquette.

James Carhose, an old resident of San
Francisco, struck Chicago for the first
time this week and took ride in a
crowded State sueet-car In a few
minutes a lady got in, and, as no one
offered her seat, Mr.. Carhose got up
and politely piloted her in the place he
had occupied, Then he turned around
and saw that a Chinaman was one of
the men who had neglected to give the
lady a seat Without saying a word
Mr. Carhose grabbed the Chinaman by
the nape of the neck, carried him to the
door and threw him into the street.
The Mongolian got policeman and the
San Franciscan, to his great amazement,
was fined $40 for assault. He told the
Court that in San Francisco it was not
considered etiquette for Chinaman to
sit in street'car when ladies had to
stand,-1N. Y World,

by unanimous consent vote of thanks

announced.
Among those present were Madames Dr..
Howard Leila Martin, Fleetwood, Will

Nalle, Bruce, Howard and Duilield. The
graphically put experience of Mrs. Nc
Pherson, and parallel cases of persons on
n similarly elevated social sphere, and the
equally elegant and pointed speech by
Miss Foster, were evidently inspiring and
timely TO the assembled group of intelli-
gent persons, emphasizing the growing
opinion that colored women, as men,
should be alive to the great issue:
Womans Enfranchisement and Woman S
Suffrage.

MIR. Wcrber's Land ProbIem.

EDITOR CRITIC; In the solution of the
problem contributed to Saturdays Critic
by j.. Werber, jr, it must be remembered
that it makes no difference as to the
amount they paid. On the one hand the
land may have been given to them, or on
the other hand may have cost $4,000.
The point to be remembered is, they are
equally interested. But one portion of
the tract is less valuable than the other,
and A agrees that If b will include that
in his share he will allow him to rate his
entire share at Sl.75, while he himself will
rate his at 1926, and the land shall be di-
Yided on that basis. Hence we have
X=A's share, and Y=Bs share Then,
X plus Y=200 acres, Clst. equation) and
225x=l75 Y, or, 7X-7Y=0' end equa-
tom. Compare these equations and we
have %-S74 and Y ll2l.
Proof list, S7l plus 1924 200 acres; 2nd.,
s74xS2. % $l00S7l, and 1l2lxSl.75
Sl96.S79 thus showing that they have
taken up the entire 200 acres, and also
that when each mans portion is multi
piled by his rate per acre they are equal.
But either they paid more than the land
was worth, or else set less value on il
than the real value when they went to
divide il. 10. ID. III.

why the "Cornaower" was Em

Why the "COrntiower" was En-
perOr Williams Favoritc Flower.
EmroB Critic: Perhaps some of the
readers OF your bright paper may not
know why the Cornllowcr, with which
the dead Emperor's coveret was strewn,
was his favorite flower, and thought the
following item, which was written to me
by a friend who was travelling in Prussia,
might be interesting now that everything
connected with the dead Emperor is read
with interest. You know the "kOrn-
funie'' is called in our country Ragged
Robin, or. Bachelors Button. IL grows
among the wheat in Prussia and is gener-
ally accompanied by the red Poppy, or,
as the Germans say the "klitchrose." 7"
When the mother of the dead Emperor,
Queen Louisa of Prussia, had to fly with
her children from Napoleon Ronaparte,
| the little Princes were so hungry they
! were crying for bread; and while they
waited somewhere for relief towards the
eastern frontier, they were among
the wheat fields and the Queen
made crown of "Kornblumen" and put
10 on the head of the second son, not the
Crown Prince, and told him she believed
and hoped that he would some day
nvenge the wrongs of his country. The
Queen mothers words seem to have been
prophetic, and she must have foreseen
that the Crown Prince would prove in.
caple and the dead Emperor, who was
her second son, would be the one to
punish France, and this noble mother
ana good Queen looked into the future
with no uncertain eyes. SO the Korn.
blume was always the Emperor's lavorite
flower from the day his mother made him
q crown of IL to try to divest him and
keep him from thinking of his hunger
until he laid down the cares of State
forever.
