THE COMMISSION ENDING ITS WORK.
THE LABOR OF REVISING THE EXCISE LAWS
DONE AND THE REPORT TO BE SIGNED
rnMoppovy

Tho Commissioners for the Revision Of the Excise
Laws yesterday practically completed their work and
when they adjourned all that remained for them to
DO was TO approve the secretary's minutes and sign
tho report, which win DO done at meeting to be held
to- morrow morning at 80. When they came to
vote the final adoption Of the BILL however, II was
found that the efforts Of the commissioners TO make
OIL an water mix were practically unavalDg, and
IL Is pi,,babc that there will be two reports II not
more. The commission took up yesterday the draft
prepared by the law committee, and adopted It section
by section. with but few changes. The first change
made motion Of Commissioner O'Brcn, and
raised the maximum license fee for hotels from s4o0
10 $500 Tho section also which provided that no
place should DO relicensed for SIX months after the
revocation OF license was stricken out The whole
draft having been considered vote taken the
bin itself, and resulted follows: Yeas-Rollins,
Crosby Smart and Thomann; nays-o' Bren, Stern and
Krusc.
DR. Crosby from the committee on report then
read the report which had been drafted by himself
and Mr.. Thomann. 1t was simply letter Of trans
INITIAL explaining the purpose Of the committee and
the manner In which 1t had done its work and also
containing the principle OF No minutes suggested on
Friday by Commissioner Thomann, and the recon-
mendatlon OF Commissioner Stern regarding the
amendment of tho Civil Damage Act. After some
discussion on motion Of Commissioner Thomann, 1t
was voted that those who were willing to sign the
report should do so, and the others should express
IbeIr views in separate reports
On this understanding Commissioners Rollins,
Crosby, Thomann and Smart expressed their deter
minatlon to sign It nqualIfedly. The other three
were to decide before the meeting Tomorrow whether
to sign or submit separate reports. II seems prob
able that there will be majority report and at least
one minority report, as Commissioner krnse gave no
sign Of yieiiing though Commissioners O'Brfen and
Stern said thpt they might finally sign IT, After
voting that Secretary Colby should submit the bill

Pure American.

Every age, sex and nationality has its own
weakness, which Is observed and played upon
by the crafty. Acertain salesman says that
when he particularly wishes to dispose Of
some article of dress, he states it to be Of
French origin
"These French shoulders are very becom-
ing to you, madam he exclaims, admiring-
ly, as some portly dame dons a peculiarly cut
garment. II don't believe q lady could DO
found, out Of Paris, who could wear them to
such advantage
The consequence Of such speech often is
that the purchaser feels herself TO be worthy
type of Partisan DANES, and snaps up the
bargain.
However, humbug OF amy sort Il likely at
some time to meet with check. One day,
this clever salesman saw modestIy dressed
woman examining some wraps in his depart
ment, and stepping brislly up to her re
marked
''Thirty-five dollars, madam. A new
French design. That plating at the back /:
the newest invention of great French
house,
Indeed" said the lady, quietly. "That
seems odd. Are the garments importedr
''No, they are made In New York, but as
said, the plating which gives them such a
jaunty look, is copied from French model. y
more and more surprising said the lady.
ut happens that work In the establishment
where they are made and I designed that
plating myself. ~ Youths Companion.
