other cities in the matter of the census.
She has been lucky enough to have her
city directory publisher appointed census
supervisor. and he has promised the St.
Paulites that he will give the city a pop
ulation of 25O, 900 or know the reason
why. Minneapolis meanwhile has raised
private sum for her census supervisor,
'in order to enable him to conduct the
count in a proper manner" Each city
might take in the gravcstoncs Of old set
tiers to help out the count.

a slender thread hang everlasting things.
Gators eat muskrats, and muskrats eat

the muskrat will multiply like the jack

MIR. MONKEYS ENTERPRISE

Combinations That Have Been Successful.
Out OF the many business men who have been
seeking their fortune in the Nations Capital for
the last twenty years none have been more sue
cessful in proportion to capital invested, and
is better known, than Mr.. L. Moxley, who for
many years was located at $40 Tenth street
northwest Many has been the person whom
he has furnished with domino and TASK for the
fancy and masquerade ball. In connection
with the above enterprise he carried on an ex-
tensive bill-posting trade, fulfilling the wants,
whims, and fancies of all persons applying to
him. Not long since the far-famed Cooks
Balm of Lfe'' was placed under the manage
ment of Mr. Moxley, and he has lately bought
out the heirs of Professor Truman A. Cook,
thus making him the full owner and manufac-
turer of this noted medicine, which is indorsed
by such authorities as the Chief Justice and
Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the
United States and the leading citizens of this
and other cities.
Mr.. Moxley, having had very tempting
offer made him for his property on Tenth
street, sold it few days since and purchased
the large and well-equipped four-story building
at 1905 E street northwest, in the business cen
tire of the National Capital, from whence now
the immense business relating to the 'Balm of
Life will be conducted. His mask and bill-post
ing department will be conducted on Thirteenth
street, between E and F, where he has pur-
chased property and is fitting up model
building for that purpose. Mr.. Moxley is to be
congratulated on the success he SO richly de-
serves.

Greatly Reduced.
The Duties On Mani,la Cordage In
creased-News Farmers Won't
Like-special Taxes Reduced.

WAsnINaToN, Sept. 27.-The labors Of
the conference committee which closed
yesterday, and which is q voluminous
production, includes in addition to the
report of your correspondent the follow.
ing salient points:
All Of the paragraphs inserted by the
senate providing for "custom com.
mission" were stricken out On plain
glass where single rate is fixed is OF
60 per cent. On pyrates the senate rate
OF "a per cent. is retained on ore con.
tanning copper.
In tin plate the houserate OF %cent per
pound above sheet iron rates to July
next and 2-lO cents after that date is
retained. The senate rate of future
additional duty of 35 per cent. on man.
ufacturers OF tin plate is replaced by an
absolute single duty of 55 per cent. and
its stipulation for free 90 pound tiR
after ls96in the case of the failure OF
domestic works to produce one-third OF
the consumption is retained.
In the case OF sawed boards and lum.
ber of white pine, the senate rate of 81
is adopted and the provision for the re-
tention of the old duty to cover the for.
eign export duty is retained.
In the internal revenue features OF
the bill, nearly all the house provisions
are restored. The provisions removing
all restrictions on farmers and growers
OF tobacco, in regard to the sale of leaf
tobacco, are restored, and proviso
added that the farmer shall furnish on
demand of any internal revenue ofhcer
a statement of his sale, etc. A fine OF
$500 is provided for violation of this
provision. The conference committee
struck out the senate amendment pro-
viding for a tariff commission.
The effect on revenues will be as fol-
lows: "For the year ending June 80,
1890, the receipts from special taxes on
the class OF persons to be relieved by
the bill were Sl,515,4sl; from taxes on
tobacco. $ls,235. 4s2; and from snuff
S737,731. BY the passage of the bill the
reduction in the revenue from tobacco
will be S4,5sl,370, and from snuff Sls4,. :.
a33, making from these two sources an
aggregate of 81, 7G5,S 500. Adding these
figures to the reduction which would
follow in the abolition of special taxes
would make total reduction in the in
ternal revenue receipts of S6.2Sl, ,2S4.
The probale reduction by the customs
schedule will probably be about $780,
Ooo,00o, which would give an aggregate
reduction by the bill of about S6G, 0oo,-
