PIG IRON GOING DOWN,
Reducing the Tariff on Rails Won't Injure
the Manufacturers,

Reducing the Tariff on Rails Won't Injure
the Manufacturers.
A Pittsburg iron man, in commenting on
the outlook for trade last night, said: "The
indications are that pig iron will 20 down
to S19 or $40 per ton. The present price Of
81 lis little too high, and the furnacemen
at the figures quoted would still make a
reasonable profit. As for other iron and
steel products the indications are good.
'The reduction of tariff on steel rails to
S12 won't hurt anybody, and see no reason
for the outcry. Why the English maker TO-
day can scarcely compete with the American
on an equal basis. 1t doesn't make any DIFF
ference with the rail men whether the tariff
is S12 or $50 per ton. Rails in England are
selling at S35, while in this country we get
S32 80. The only danger to be feared in re-
ducing the tariff is at time when rails are
away down in foreign countries. When
they were selling in ENGLAND a few years
ago for $40 per ton, then it was necessary to
have good tariff on to protect the Ameri-
can manufacturer.

Explained.

Through an oversight, an announcement
was allowed to appear in Danziger & Co. s
advertisement in yesterdays issue of THE
DISPATCH, which must have been confus-
ing to its many readers. 1t is to be feared
that very few people would translate the
printed words ''complex widow shades. i"
into complete window shades" as intended.
This explanation (Which is clearer than the
writing OF the man who prepared the ad-
vertisement), will doubtless enlighten them.

OPENING OF NAVIGATION.
The Old Rail and Lake Rates of Last Year


The Old Rail and Lake Rates of Last Year
Readopted.
Navigation between Cleveland and De-
troit will commence for the season to-mor-
row. The winter was such warm one that
as general rule the Lower Lakes were
open and comparatively free from ice. Rail-
road men expect that the Upper Lakes will
clear up in few weeks. Last year naviga-
ton was resumed about March %. It has
been many years since operations were be-
gun so early in the spring as in 1890.
A few days ago the Pittsburg and Youngs-
town committees of freight agents met, and
adopted the same rates that were in force
last year. The Pittsburg rates to Detroit
will be: First class, 34c; second, 31c third
22c; fourth. 15c; fifth, 14c; sixth, lie.

THE HOOKING KICKERS.

Their Action Responsible for No Reduction
of the 4O.NfiIe Radius.
Railroad men think that the 4O-mile
radius won't be reduced this year. Said
General Freight Agent F. A. Dean, of the
Lake Erie, yesterday: SIT was the Hook
ing Valley complication that foored us.
They admitted they had cut the rates 25
cents per ton, and then they said that they
would adopt any rate made for tine thin
vein men as the Pittsburg rate.
This would leave the thick vein operators
to pay more than any of them, and they
would be in the soup."

optician Well Alto Numerous Quail But
80 Were Too Many.

~ NtTo AOO
A month ago Optician Moses We'll
entered Hotel Kirkwood, stated that he
had just eaten three quail, had never
eaten that fowl before and that he was
delighted with it. III. d. Brownson of
Boston, guest at the house, overheard
Mr.. Wells remarks and said; "My
friend, | will wager you 800 that You
cannot eat u quail daily for30 successive
days" Mr.. We'll insisted that he could
and a bet was made. The wager pro-
vidcd that u quail should be eaten daily
for 30 successive days, that the fowl
should be eaten in Hotel kirkwood, that
the stake should be 800 side, that G..
j. ii. Beckett, manager of the hotel,
should be allowed SIS for purchasing
the birds, that Mrs Beckett should be
allowed the same amount for cooking
them and that the $50 for purchasing
and cooking should be deducted from
the stake,
On November Goth, the day after the
wager was made, Mr. We'll hogan his
difficult task. For II successive DAYS he
ate quail, principally fried and fricasseed,
with hearty relish. During the next
few days his appetite seemed to fail.
On Monday evening weekBhe went toEthe
hotel and ate an oyster pan, two quail,
half of rabbit and two sausagcs. This
large meal must have prevented him
from winning the bet On Tuesday
night week heidi not eatno than one
half Of quail, lie complained Of the
cooking and ate with considerable
effort The bird eaten on Tuesday was
the twenty-seycnth Yesterday week
Mr.. We'll did not 90 to the hotel and
consequently lost the wager.
The $500 stake, less the $50 for pur-
chasing and cooking the birds eaten,
will be paid 10 the winner Of the let.

cooPER's FIVE SHOPPING.
He Lost the Championship Because of
an Unjust Decision,


John Y Cooper, the promising young
athlete of the Warren Athletic Club, com
peted in the final wrestling bouts for the
amatuef championship of the United States
on Saturday night, in the Metropolitan
Opera House, New York. The spectators
numbered $500. Cooper threw y. Kenney
Of the Acorn Athletic Club of New York in
nine minutes and % seconds. This left the
competition for the championship and q
sou medal to Cooper and Wolff of the A. G.
). NJ, the latter having vanquished his
opponent, o. Cramer of the st. George Ath-
letic Club of New York. Cooper's weight
was l23 and VOLTS 1888 pounds. After
several exciting bouts, lasting Is minutes,
IA seconds, the referee awarded the match
to WOLF Cooper claimed that he was not
downed. He and a large number of those
present, who witnessed the final bout stig-
Matte the referees decision as entirely
unjust.
The referee was A. ]. Bogis and Wolff
was given the decision on a doubtful leg
hold II was freely admitted that had the
men continued wrestling Cooper would un-
doubleday have won. As it was the watch
should have been declared draw. Ex-
perts are of the opinion that when Cooper
gains 10 pounds more i'll weight he will be
without his equal in the lightweight class
IN the United States. Cooper brings to
Wilmington a handsome silver medal and
thus adds prestige to his club, which is
rapidly forging to the front rank in ath-
letic circles. Competent judges of wrest-
ling who saw Cooper's work on Saturday
night pronounced him without an equal
at his weight in the United States. Efforts
are being made to have Cooper and Wolff
wrestle at the Warren Athletic Clubs en-
tertainment in the Opera House in this city
on January 22d.
Cooper was without a handler, Jack
Hart who had promised to look after him,
failing to put in an appearance. Walter
Campbell, the A. g. $. n. boxing instruc-
tor, rubbed the local champion, but could
not instruct him when he met Woltf,owing
TO the latter being an A. g. S. n. man.

Duty on Articles Used in Public Scr.
vice.
WASHINGTON, Dec. ia practical
illustration of the beauties of the new
tariff law was given to the House to-day
in the shape Of letter from the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to the appropria-
ton committee asking that an appro-
prlation Of $4,000 be made in order to
enable the lighthouse board to paw
duties upon imported articles used in
the establishment of lighthouses and
upon which the government has to pay
duty,
In his letter the Secretary says that
the Illuminating apparatus used in the
light-housesis not made in this country.
"Ihe duty on the parts" he adds,
which are mostly glass, is 60 per cent,
and on the parts made mostly of metal
40 per cent. The fourth order apparatus,
those which are mostly used, cost, say
1000 francs in France. The duty upon
these is about one-half of this amount.
Certain other articles used in tile estab-
lishment of lighthouses and not made
in this country are also imported and
are subject to duty.
Under the new law" the Secretary
adds, free entries on articles imported
for government use are no longer III
lowed, and the appropriation will have
to be made in order that the government
pay duties to the government"
