Ever since Commodore Yields swell
reception at his 100000 barn III Brook
Ign, last week, there has been certain
amount of GOODNESS in the atmosphere
of the Back Bay because certain leading
families were not invited. Of course
the non-appearance of the dainty lnvi-
tations was looked upon as snub, and
Mrs. Weld has suffered in consequence.
But it was not Mrs Yields fault. The
blame lies with one of the youthful and
almost always alert and ambitious tele-
graph messenger boys. A few days be-
lore the reception lady friend Of Mrs
Weld, who knew that the latter had en-
gagged messenger boy that evening to
deliver large number of invitations to
the Back Bay, happened to see a large
number of what appeared to be letters
in Charles River. The lady was driving
through Beacon Street at the time. At
ter the reception she heard that some
had not received their invitations, and
inquiry developed ethe TACT that the
messenger boy, becoming tired and cold,
threw the letters into Charles River, not
realizing how much mental suffering
would result from his action. That
messenger boy is now seeking another

England's Export of Horses.
From London Trut

It appears that the value of the horses
which have been exported from En-
gland during 1889 was 1882, 500, against
9793,73l during 1888. The number of
horses was 1926, there having been
and 1919 stations. During 1883 the
total number was 12,O45. OF the mares
1888 were sent to Canada, most OF
these, however. being really destined
for the United States; S84 went to Bel
GUM, zoe to Holland, 434 to France, 418
to the United States direct, and 1888
to other countries. Of the stations,
zoos were sent to Canada and the
United States, rs to France, 81 to Hol-

much of it is allowed to go there, only a
part of the annual income being avail

tuition guarded its sacredness. Mean
time it is piling up every year, and the
commissioners are at their wits end to
find an investment for it. The original
idea was to have a fund large enough to
entirely support the public schools
throughout the state, but that, it is said,
would take $70,O00,000; and, besides, it
is generally believed that it is better for
the second system to have the local
schools directly provided for by local
taxes. People take more interest in

TIE Bay of Fundy forms cul-de-sac
at which the Atlantic Ocean seems to
have taken a spite, and at regular inter-
walls pours in it's waters viciously, and
with intent to do all possible harm.
Take, for instance, the harbor of St.
John. In most parts of the world a
tide of from six to ten feet is quite suf-
6cient to satisfy all reasonable demands.
In St. John harbor the tide rises TWEEN
ty-one feet on an ordinary day, and oc-
casionally varies the monotony by push
ing the mark up three or four feet, as
the humor seizes it.

The Old. Old Story.

A little cough; feeling ill:
A headache oft; daily chill:
A slower walk; a quickened breath;
A frequent talk of coming death.
No strength to rise from day to day:
From loving eyes he fades away.
Now lifts no more the weary head,
The struggles DER; the man is dead.
Such is the fatal progress of consump-
ton. How often is repeated the old, old
story. Yet not half so often as it was be-

PRICES JUMPING FORWARD.
How the Mckinley Tariff Bill Affects
Local Prices.

The Mckinley tariff bill as it affects
local matters will not be apt to make
votes for the Republican party. A
HERALD reporter has investigated the
difference it has caused in prices, with
some results which will be OF interest to
consumers. For example, from j. I.
Steward and Company, the following
changes in prices were obtained: Wool
imported serge was 81 cents a yard, it is
now 65 cents; plush garments which
were $3.50, are now $3.50; hosiery which
was 1925 per dozen, will henceforth be
$685. hosiery throughout will be ad-
vanced from 20 to 25 per centum; on
gloves the price is constantly advancing
on account of the tariff, and what point
it will reach is not vet determined;
warns have advanced from Is to 20
cents per pound. Velveis which cost 70
cents yard are now worth "a cents.
Pearl buttons have advanced "clean out
of sight," as the HERALD's informant
put it, the new tariff increasing the rate
from 80 10 so per centum, according to
the goods. The firm of Murphey, Grant
and Company, of San Francisco, tele-
graphed their agent in this city to make
general advance in the price of all i'm
ported goods of 20 per centum, as soon
as the bill was passed. This includes all
sorts of wooden dress goods. hosiery,
linens, velvets and pushes. Wool Hen
riettas have gone from 72cents yard to
80 cents. Shoes are also on the list, and
for foot wearpeople will henceforth have
to pay an increase of 20 to rs per centum
on former prices.
A hardware firm was next seen, and
some examples or the increase in that
line obtained. Tin plate is increased
according to grade from 90 cents to $3.50
per box, or on an average OF 10 per
centum. Tinware will take jump
forward in some instances of 10 per
centum, and in others of Is. All tin
ware is liable to advance still further;
"these prices are nothing to what they
will be-" said the dealer to the reporter.
Cutlery is taxed an ext, 10 per centum,
but has not materially advanced as
yet.
A crockery house was next visited,
and it was learned that the duty on such
goods had been advanced from 40 to 80
per centum, and that prices, notwith-
standing the large domestic supply,
would jump forward at least 20 per
centum.
A peculiar feature of the affair is
that most goods are doubly taxed by the
bill; the duties themselves being
charged so much, besides an impost on
the package or box containing them.

a physician to a HERALD reporter re-
Gently. The HERALD man made COM
parative study of the appearance of the
girls and youths he saw after that, and
the evidence was conclusive. The girls
characteristics were plumpness, clear
eyes, springy walk, alertness, straight
backs and broad hips; the young men
were sallow, spindle-shanked, round
shouldered, dull-eyed and weary looking.
There is little doubt but what the effect
of the craze for physical culture which
has been prevalent for the past five
or ten years is being put in evidence by
the appearance of the young women of
today who were then children. The
same HERALD reporter yesterday had
the privilege of meeting Jaguarina, the
famous swOrdswoman who has been the
heroine OF innumerable sword contests,
and who has never suffered defeat. She
has opened fencing school at the
Johnson mansion on Downey avenue,
for women, and teaches physical culture
in all it's branches. The excellent
effects of this sort of thing could have
no better exponent than Jaguarina
herself, a specimen of perfect physical
womanhood. Any woman who sees her,
her grace, her complexion, her splendid
proportions, and the condition OF perfect
health she enjoys, can but envy and be-
come a convert to physical culture.
Jaguarinas fencing room is most at
tractive place. The walls are decorated
with an infinite variety of swords,
sabres, rapiers, small arms and trap
pings, with pictures of the fair teacher
and her favorite horses. Here every
day gather some of the most fashionable
and beautiful Of the young girls of the
city, and in most bewitching costumes,
thrust and parry il the most approved
style. The enterprise of the maitresse
d. armes is one which ought to receive
encouragement.
