the quieter comedy of Jefferson's in the
earlier scenes is even more delicious to us.

1t is lucky that the modern acting edition
of the play is very much shorter than the

unfortunate failure to make connections on
the journey from Cincinnati to this city, the
Jeferson-Florence Company did not reach

A Milford Man Wants TO Know Wherein
II Benefits Him.

Editor Gazette. The tariff tax" on tin
has been much discussed in the press and
out Of it, by minds capable Of under
standing it, and all the other intricacies of
taxation imposed by the tariff.
On the subject of tin Mr.. A. b. Richard
son has written letter which has gone
the rounds Of the press, and ms he is a
practical Gamer (and Il very successful one
too, he is presumed to know how to handle
the subject. He is also skilled in the art
Of tin-rootfing, having been a practical
tin-smith. On the subject of canning,
Senator Richardson, in his letter tries to
offset the additional tax on tin with the
cans to make up the different grades of
sugared peaches; yet these are a small item
compared with all the other canned goods,
such as tomatoes, meats, poultry and many
othergoods that are packed without sugar.
TO be candid, Mr. Richardson, what is
there to effect the increased cost of tin in
which goods other than peaches are
packed? II surely cannot be'the reduced
tax on sugar, Your argument may be
good as far as il goes; it may be the truth,
but is II the whole TRUTH
The subject Of tin roofing is of vital i'm
portance to me, as ! am the owner of a
small house in Milford that shelters my
family from the incemency of the
weather, but, unfortunately for me, it
needs new roofing, to do which | am
negotiating with a tinsmith, and | am
very much Obliged to Mr.. Richardson for
his letter in which he very kindly enables
me to calculate the tax on tin necessary to
cover il.
My dwelling will require abont 1900
superficial feet of tin to cover il, and in
working it out by Senator Richardson's
rule will have to pay an additional tax
under the Mckinley law of Sl5Ss, and
under the original Tariff law S27 70, max
ing u total tax | will have to pay to the
United States tif Mr.. r. Is correctl of Si3.67.
Mr.. Richardson is gentleman for whom
have the highest regard, and if l am not
substantially correct in my calculation |
will thank him tn correct me through the
same medium in which this is published.
] will also ask him If the tax of 1885, is
not an onerous one? And also how am to
be benefited by such drain upon my
limited resources?
suppose the plea will be made that the
law increasing the tax will not 60 into
operation until next July. Has il not
already gone into practical effect, 80 far as
the purchaser of tin is concerned, in antiei-
patton of the increased tariff taxi Is it
not fair to suppose that the importers of
tin WILL between now and next July, load
up their warehouses and thereby derive the
benefit Of the increased tax without hay

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-Thc police are satisfied
that the young man, Leon Butler, arrested
yesterday knows more about the murder
Of old Norman Woolcott of Trenton Falls,
n. v, than he cares to tell. Two women
have been found who are sure they saw
Butler walking the man toward where his
body was afterwards struck by the switch
engine.
A dispatch from Menosha, Wis, says
Norman Woolcott the man supposed to
have been murdered in Chicago, was for 80
years well-known and highly respected
man here. He came to Menosha with his
wife in 1851 In 1859 he identified himself
with church work, founding and building
the first Methodist church in the city in
1855. His profession was that of veteri-
nary surgeon, and he was tolorably well
to do, and seven years ago he
and his wife celebrated their golden
wedding. A year later his wife died and
he sold his property here and went to live
with relatives at Trenton Falls, n. Y, and
a rather romantic story of the old man
comes here through correspondence.
Although go years old when he returned to
New York he met and married spinstcr
whom he had courted when a young man.
He wrote to friends here that he had met
and married his first love. One year ago
his second wife died leaving him in posses
sion of considerable property.
Recently his sister Mrs. Henry Standen,
of this city, invited him to return and
make his home in Menosha, and he WINS
on his way there when murdered in Chi
cage, II is thought here that he had con-
siderable money in his possession.

FIGHTING CANNON.


WAsHINdToN, Oct. ga gentleman in
Danyille, ILL.,, writing to a friend in this
city, says Of Congressman Cannon's efforts
for reelection that he will be beaten. The
writer says that Cannon has had serious
opposition in his party for some years back
arising from the personal manner in which
he has distributed the patronage Of his dis
trict, and his elections in every instance
cost him considerable sum. Al nearly
every election there was fair sized DEM
ocratic vote cast for Cannon, but this wear
he will not only lose all Of these, but the
Republican opposition aroused by his dis
reputable speech on the floor of the House
OF Representatives will overwhelm him.
Cannon processes not to show any fear
Of the results. but il is said on good All
thority that unless money could win his
election he would not return as the repre-
sentative. The Democrats claim majority
Of 5000 for Cannon's opponent.
