That it was left on q doorstep was due
to Misunderstanding or quarrel OF some
kind. The child mother is Mary Hoft-
man, the daughter of a wealthy hat man
ufacturer. She was engaged to be mar
ried, but her father objected, and If there
was any marriage ceremony, it was Sc
cretlv performed. The child was found
by the colored housekeeper In the house
of a female doctor named NJ. L. Devessey.
A negro man took care of it for q while,
and then Miss or Mrs. Hoffman got Mrs.
Hammill to adopt 1t, giving her release
that was drawn up by y lawyer. The
adopted mother heard last week that the
father of Miss Hoffman, having learned
of the birth of the child, had deposited
$4,000 with q trust company in New
York to be paid over to his grand daugh
ter when she should arrive at the age of
eighteen, but she was not to know from
whom the fortune came. A LAWYER from
Trenton was employed to keep track of
the child and see that she was properly
brought up. Fearing that in view of the
chlld's wealth the release to her by the
mother would not hold good, Mrs. Ham
mill took the baby to the female doctors
house intending to demand a new con
tract. DR.. Devessey was out of town and
Mrs. Hammill left the baby with the
daughter Of the doctoress, saying she
would have nothing further to do with it.
When DR.. Devessey returned home Tues
day night she was wroth at finding the
baby there and engaging hack she took
it at midnight to Hammill's door where
she left it. Mrs. Hammill now has the
child again. She says she does not want
to part with it but insisted that proper
contract must be made.
A CHAMBERMAID's GOOD FORTUNE.
A Leadville Herald of late date
contains an account of streak OF
good luck that has befallen cham
bermaid in Leadville. The story
is as follows:
The transfer of the Robin mine for 81 500
last week brought out yesterday a pecu-
liar story attached thereto. One OF the
owners in the mine was young woman
who came to this city from Kansas about
five years ago, and has since been engaged
in the entirely proper and honest occupa-
ton of ''sheet- shifting" at various board
inghouses in Leadville. TO be palmer,
she is chambermaid-not at all hand
some, but decidedly sensible, and her
name is Mary. Mary became interested
in a certain prospector not long after COM
ing here, and it was through him that she
was induced to help pay the yearly assess
ments on the claim. When the mine was
sold the other day, therefore, she received
a little over $4,000 as her share in the
transaction. Mary will return to Kansas
and may, it is said, marry the man who
put her onto the DEAL" provided he
consents to go East also. 1nasmuch as
she has been working for little more than
her board during her residence in Lead
Vile, hadn't cent to spare and was in a
slough of dependency, the little sum
will give her quite "lift'' in the world.

A Protectionist SQueals.

The Philadelphia Telegraph, a
republican protectionist newspaper,
in speaking Of the present tariff
says: ut is growing unpopular and
obnoxious for the reason that it is
discriminatory in favor of a class
the moneyed class-and against
the non-moneyed Glass;" and the
committee hearings have been call
one-sided, the great masses, the
tens of millions of consumers, not
being represented at ALL" The same
paper adds:
If nothing should be done by the present
Congress about the tariff, it is confidently
believed that not only New York will
he doubtful state in 1892, but Illinois,
Iowa, and Massachusetts also. The de
lection in the latter state with respect to
free raw material is serious, and it must
be Offset by gaining the favor of the
masses for tariff law which, while it
protects capital and labor, shall not gorge
the pockets Of an over protected class.
The Western farmers, who want lower
duties, must be considered; and all du-
ties which are hair breadth above the
point of real protection should be re-
duced. The worst mistake that the ma
jority of Congress could make would be
that of neglecting to revise the present
unpopular tariff law.
So, all at once it has been dis
covered that the present tariff law
is unpopular, is it? If this be true,
and a protectionist newspaper ad-
mits that it is, how much has been
stolen from the great mass of toll
ing people since the present tariff
system went into operation seven
years apO2

A Shady Concern Squelched.

The affairs of the American Build
ing and Loan Association, of Min
neapolis, Minnesota, in which many
Idaho people in different localities
are interested, were brought to a
close few days ago by the State
Public Examiner. The Examiner
discovered that the Association had
received $74,21S.2S from stockhold-
ers, for which it had failed to ac-
count, and this in the face Of the
fact that over $26O,0OO additional
had been collected as admission
fees. The Acknowledgement of Min
nesota has applied to the supreme
court for writ of quo warranto.
The concern will then be placed in
the hands of receiver.

IT seems that the people of the
Dakotas are not the only ones that
are suffering from restitution. We
are accustomed to think of Virginia
as the LAND Of plenty, but now a
cry goes up for bread from that
state. The failure Of the crops in
Greenville county has resulted in
great restitution to the people of
that section of Virginia. As con-
sequence, they have been forced to
make an appeal for aid to the peo-
pie of the whole country.

held corn to be fuel. A thousand
bushels of corn belonging to far

said he was using the corn for fuel,

not more than enough to last a
year. The justice ruled that under
the law exempting a years fuel, the
attachment would not hold.

PATCHING UP MKINLEY's BILL.

The Committee VIII Report 1t to the
Senate Within Two Weeks.
WASHINGTON, June 7.-Work on the
tariff bill was resumed this morning by the
republican members of the Senate finance
committee. All the time up to the recess, at
1:45 o'clock, was given to the agricultural
schedule. The subcommittee was delayed
in its consideration of the bill this morning
by the necessity of listening to several con-
gressmen who had pleas to make in respect
to duties on various articles.
Senators Cameron, Platt, SAWYER and
Spooner, and Representatives La Toilette,
Brosius and others spoke In favor of duty
of So pound on Sumatra cigar wrappers
Representative Kinsey of Missouri; asked
for a higher rate of duty on barytes, or
heavy spar.
RAPID PROGRESS.
Rapid progress was made on the bill in
the afternoon session, as at the adjournment
announcement was made that the subcom-
mittee would be ready Monday to take up
the cotton schedule.
The tobacco, agricultural, provisions,
fruits and nuts and spirits schedules are said
to be ready for the consideration of the
democratic members of the committee The
indications are that the bill will be ready
to report to tho Senate a week from next
Monday. However, should the differences
over sugar. wool and silk prove to be more
radical than some of the members of the
subcommittee now anticipate, the bill will
not be returned to the Senate for two weeks
but that is the longest period that any
member now fixes for its further considera-
tion in the committee.

France VIII Try to Have the United
States Rule Changed.
PARIS, June 7.-Considerabie excitement
has been aroused among Partisan merchants
in consequence OF the Washington rulings
which require that consular certificates for
goods exported to the United States shall be
issued at the consulate nearest the point of
manufacture. They complain bitterly, and
the minister of commerce has been asked to
interfere. 1t is said that representations on
the subject have been made by the govern
ment to the United States minister IN the
hope OF securing fresh instructions from
Washington for the consul general.
The votes in the Chamber of Deputies
this week imposing high duty on Indian
corn are only precursor Of what is sure to
follow with reference to other articles. The
whole tendency OF the present chamber is
overwhelmingly protecitonist. Some ex-
citement continues with reference to the
new duties proposed In the Mckinley bill,
and also about the more stringent require
ments of the customs administrative bill.
Some OF the deputies threate retaliation by
heavy duties on petroleum and other i'm
ports from the United States. The press,
however, remains as yet good-tempered and
conservative.

evening M. Floquet, M. Melire. Comte
