Where Wife Whips Hubby.

AS rule the Indian women of Bo-
livia are superior to their lords in in
telllyence and earn the larger share Of
their mutual support. Being the
older of the two, she is naturally the
head of the house, and is more likely
to thrash her dutiful-spouse than he
is to misuse her. In the markets,
where farm products are disposed of,
she can drive a better bargain than
he: she can carry as heavy burdens,
endure as much manual labor. chew
as much coca and drink as much al
cOhOl.
The Indians have little no money,
their mediums of exchange being
whatever they may raise, or the Ia
Dor of their hands. They will eat
when not hungry, drink when not
thirsty, sleep when rot sleepy, any
where and at any time when oppor-
tunity offers, against the time of
need" as they say. The majority
are in Il state OF semi-IntONicatiOn
from babyhood to the grave, alcohol
being used on every pretext, freely as
their means will allow, on occasions
OF birth, deaths and least Gnvs-the
latter occurring nearly every day 10
the year.
They are social creatures and not
at all inclined to live alone; hence
their houses are always in groups,
and community OF them, though
numbering not more than half doz-
en-, is called an eStancia. In the in
terror of Bolivia ii an Indian desires
to change his place OF residence, he is
not allowed to settle in another vil>
lage until the authorities thereofhave
looked into his private history, when,
ii the record is not satisfactory, he
is ordered to move on. But that
seldom happens, for they are like
cats in their attachment to places,
and will cultivate the same bit OF
poor land from generation to genera
ton, though barely able to keep
body and soul together.

Something Regarding the Tariff Bill!
Which Must Be Decided.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-One of the most
important tariff questions now under con-
sideration by the treasury department and
the department of justice is whether or not
goods dutiable under the old law and ware
housed prior to Oct. 6. the date when the
present law took effect. and made free OF
duty by the present law, can be admitted to
tree entry on and alter the 9th instant
The question will probably be decided Ill a
few days.
l, was stated at the treasury department
this afternoon that i'll view of the prOviS-
ions of section II of the customs admins
trative law, which applies also to all inn
pOrtatiOnS under the present tariff law, the
department will positively decline to in
struct customs officers Oh any questions
arising under the present law affect

duties on imported merchandise
The section referred to provides
that the decision Of coll ctOTs of customs in
regard to tie rate and amount of duties on

persons unless they protes and take the
case to the board of general apprais RS. 1t
provides rther that if the importers are
dissatisfied with the action of that board
they may apply to the circuit courts OF the

Facts Related by a Young Lady Mission
ary in Utah.


New YORK Oct. Miss Inez Coultre OF
Grove City, Pa, who has recently arrived
from Salt Lake City, Utah, where she has
been doing missionary work, to-day sub
mtted q statement to Gen. James X.
70 Bren, superintendent Of immigration at
the barge Office. with a view Of helping
those who are interested in stopping the
immigration of Mormon converts to this
country.
The Mormon church, she says, pays Tor
the passage to this country of the converts
and then pays their railroad fare to Salt
Lake City. From her experience Miss
Coultre says that she knows this to be a
fact The ignorant converts come to Salt
Lake City filled with promises of lie or
ease and luxury and with an idea that the
church will aid in their support. Instead
OF tins, they are housed like animals III
miserable little adobe huts.
Upon the grinding labor of the converts
the Mormon church tiOuriShes. They have
to nay One-tenth oil all they possess ana
one-tenth OF all they earn to support the
church. Many of the Mormon settlements
use sage brush Tor fuel and have to subsist
principally upon fish, which they dry and
keep lOr food in the winter.
"liGW they do manage is Il mystery e al,
says Miss COultre why the Mormon elders
bring over so many young ignorant giriS Is on'y

to investigate the matter. These girls have no

some OF the baSeSt creatures the church pro

again in their own land and away from the
ciUt Ches of these Mormon tyrants. But there
is very little hope iOr them after they are once
in their clutch. Why not stop them i'll New
York. before they have become imburd with vice
and are beyond Our powers to help? Knowing
as DO so we'll from personal observation the
tate of the Mormon converts, ! do hope the
American peope may come to realize that it Is
their duty to consider this matter as one OF

these people here Not only would it benefit
these people themselves but the whole country,
Tor surely people who take the oaths they are
obliged to take would not become good law

fully rounded limbs and everything that
makes women attractive in their youth to
men, while she was yet in her teens. This
great flesh that you see is nothing but the
superlative Of that precociOu5 ripeness. The
rich young man saw her and was deter
mined to have her. Her parents command
ed that she should marry him. She was not
averse to the marriage, but she had no time
to think about it. She was told by her
mother that she should have carriages.

establishment to any OF her class. She
married the man, and was tied to a fool.
There was nothing vicious about him, but
nothing strong. He could not drink with

have an epileptic fit She was made from
her childhood up to be attractive to men
old enough to be ler father, and she knew
her power all through the city and society.
There was a certain hardness in her quality,
and she liked a bold man and was not in
capable of bold look or bold reply.
These women, when they fall into strong
hands, give a masculine tone to lie, but i'll

in business, and lost and lost until his ather

for him to spend more than the now limit

business man the son might have stood
among the highest milIioEaires. He has
never made anything: has not even had the
Orce of character to tall in love with anOthe er
woman; his wife is tied to him as to another
woman. So they wander to these cheap

A Fight in the White House,


There was an exciting scene on the
south portico of the white house
u short time ago, growing out
Of a battle between a gartersnake
and an enormous spider, resulting in
the death ofboth participants. While
the workmen employed in putting
down the tiling on the portico were
in the act of raising one OF the big
sandstone slabs they were startled
by the appearance OF a green snake
about two feet long, and evidently
spelling for fight. Curling himself
up in II knot, his snakeship invited
an attack by kissing violently and
darting his tongue in and out in an
alarming manner. A big black spi-
der, having just finished spinning a
new web, came slowly toward the
snake, being suspended on a single
strand. Both struck simultaneously,
and the spider dropped dead as if
struck by electricity.
After emitting frothy substance
from its mouth the snake began to
squirm as il in pain, and dashed the
stone floor with it's tail, making %
smack like the cracking OF n whip. A
wcll-directed blow with n shovel by
one of the tilers cut the snake in two
pieces, and it was soon rendered in
capable of further mischief. Jerry,
the presidents factotum, pronounced
the reptile a doctor snake" of the
garter variety, and one OF the most
poisonous ofthe snake family. Where
he had come from and how long he
had been under the floor of the por-
tico is mystery which has been in
trusted to the savants oil the Smith
souian institution, whittier the re-
mains of the snake were sent.-Pitts-
