The stomach and bowels refused to

be paralyzed by the impact mass of eggs.
The patient lived practically without
food for three weeks. Newton was aged
forty-fve and was a perfect specimen of
physical manhood, six feet tall, and

FREE RAW MATERIAL.
Reduction or Abolition of Wool Tariff De-
mandod by the Wool Consumers' Assoct-
alton, Composed of Manufacturers.

Reduction or Abolition of Wool Tariff De-
mandod by the Wool Consumers AssocI-
alton, Composed OF Manufacturers.
BosToN, June 16.--The Wool Con-
sumers' Association has sent to the Sem
ate Finance Committee at Washington
memorial in which they say: "For the
protection of the woolen manufacture
of the country, and for it's rescue from a
most hampered and depressed condition,
we ask for great reduction or the total
abolition of the duty on wool" The
memorialists proceed with an elaborate
argument in favor of this proposition,
in the course of which they say: "a
free selection from many varie les of
wool is essential for the manu- ,ture of
the cloths required by the trade and
the exclusion of foreign wool so inter-
feres with the necessary supply of raw
material as to reduce rather than in
crease the quantity Of American wool
used"
In conclusion the memorialists say:
"As all the wool grown in the world is
now wanted, the American grower could
hardly be injured by the readjustment
of values. If, at the worst, his product
should fall slightly in price, he would
be compensated soon by the larger and
more certain demand from the stimu-
lated and increased manufacture. The
demand for mutton is rapidly increasing
and mutton is afforded in better quality
by sheep which produce long wool than
by the breeds producing short, fine
wool. The half-bred mutton sleeps
wool, in the warp, works admirably
with the rejected worsted fibres and the
Montevideo fleeces in the filling. Thus
the mutton flocks would be stimulated
through the importation of free raw
materials. The American consumer of
woolens and worsteds would get better
fabrics at prices generally lower"
