APPsaiser II Balsinsrc Approves
Abolition 81 WOol Duty.

BALTIMORE, o., Sept. 2S-Appraiser
Sharrett has transmitted to the Secre
tary Of the Treasury a report in reply
to request for a compilation of the
best features of the three tariff bills
presented to Congress-. 1t recon-
mends the protection OF home indus
tries, but urges that raw materials and
goods not indigenous to the United
States should be admitted free, es-
pecially when they do not interfere
with home industries, such as wool,
tin, salt and lumber.
As foreign wool must be used to mix
with the domestic article to compete
with foreigners, it should be free as
the high cost limits production. If
free, the tariff of the Senate bill is SUI
perfuous, but if the duty on raw wool
remains, q mixed tariff is indispensa-
bic, and must be pound duty on raw
wool, together with an advalorm duty
on the manufactured article.

Pools Garry the Day.

The committee appointed by the
Agricultural Society concluded to
hold onto the Pool business at the
Elkton Fair and let the W. C, 7. U.
slide, concluding that the latter
room was more valuable than their
prayers and company. The dining
room privilege which had been sold
to the ladies was given up and will
ingly taken back by the Fair man
agement, who say they can sell it at
at an advance on the ladies' figures.
The prayer meeting and the horse
race don't jog together very long.
They are bound to part company
soon, something the ladies might have
anticipated from the beginning. OF
course the W. G. T. U. having settl.
ed down to the belief that the Fair
is an emisary of Satan, will make re-
lentless war on it in the future and
their watch word will be that of the
old Roman "Delenda est Carthago.'

ner and Mitchell, the finest trio of
heavy weight athletes in the world,
will probably compete. The days
programme will also include tug
of war.
The second days events will all be
devoted to light athletics, including
a 25o yards scratch race, potato
race, and the following handicap
events: 100 yards, 440 yards, $50
yards, 100 yards hurdle, pole vault,
running high jump, running broad
jump, and mile walk. These con-
tests always excite much interest
among the patrons of the Elkton
fair and this year they will excel
previous efforts in the same line.
The fair managers have earned a
good reputation for giving handsome
prizes and treating their athletic
guests generously and the athletes
flock there on every possible occa-
sion.
