Under the circumstances, having never
seen the boy and feeling no tie of blood
It Is surprising that he remembers as
much as he does.
Mr.. Davis is very proud of the ex-
plorer. He has often talked about Stan
ley and the relation he sustained to his
mother among his friends, but as the
people talked Welsh the fact that Stan
ley's stepfather was living was not dis
covered by the public until now. Ac-
cording to published biographies OF
Stanley, he was born near Denbigh,
Wales, in 1910. His name was John
Rowlands. 1t will be seen the last name
given by Mr.. Davis agrees with this.
At the age of three he was sent to the
poorhouse at ST. Asaph, where he re-
NAMED until he was Is, receiving there
a fair education. He then shipped as a
cabin boy TO New Orleans. Mr.. James
never knew exactly what became of the
boy after the sea captain died, but he
understood a rich merchant named
Stanley, from New Orleans, had picked
him up In London. He adopted his
fOSter-father's name. The biographies
also state that Stanley revisited Wales
in 1864, and in 1868 sailed with the Brit
ish expedition for Abyssinia. Mr..
James is not sure Of the date when Stan
ley paid the visit to his mother, but it
may have been in 1864. The chances
are that it was in 1868 when he went
with the expedition, for he told his
mother he was in great hurry and
needed the oaptismal papers, or he
would lose his job.

phrase, which has been sorted increased
in value by the rejection of any parts Of
the original fleece, must be construed
in connection with the evil intended
to be corrected, which is known
to be the practices of importing the
superior portions Of wool Of this kind,
obtained by rejecting the inferior parts
of the fleece. Sorting is here in effect
defined by the statute to be process of
separation which increases in value the
imported wool by rejection Of a part
OF the original fleece, or increases it
above the average value per pound of
the fleece In its unsorted condition"
The appraisers also hold that East
India woods (the cases in question deal
ing with woods of that characterl have
been imported for thirty years. sorted
as to color, and that such sorting does
not carry double duty. The victory
is an important one for the importers,
and it is matter in which. all of them
have taken great interest.

Mass of Putrefaction. Doctor
Fails. Cured in Quick Time
by Cutioura,

deem It my duty to inform you Of the won
derful cure of eczema which CUIIcTRA RENE
DIES brought upon our little baby, three months
old. When about two and one half months old,
the whole Of its little head became one mass OF
putrefaction, over which we became very much
alarmed, as the medicine prescribed by our
physician only seemed TO aggravate and in.
crease the intense pain the little thing seemed
to be in. We were utterly at loss to know what
to do, as the physician seemed TO have exhaust
ed all efforts to give relief. But through the
recommendation OF Rev. ]. G. Ahern, pastor Of
the Brooks Circuit AZ. E. Church Society we
were induced to try the CUTIcURA REMEDIES,
and after few days application, We were as
tonished as we'll as delighted over the result.
We continued the use OF the medicine according
to directions, and after a few weeks, the little
fellow was entirely cured with no traces Of the
disease left. Many thanks for this wonderful
cure. MRS. JOHN HOLSTEIN,

BAD DAY FOR BARONS.
The Board of Appraisers Decide Against
the Ohio Wool Men.

The Board OF Appraisers Decide Against
the Ohio Wool Men.
New YORK, August 6.-To-day was a
bad day for the Ohio wool barons, for
the Board of General Appraisers de-
cided two cases against them. They
were cases in which the barons took a
deep interest, and over which they had
spent much time in the way of "agita-
ton" in favor of American "protec-
tion." The point at issue was the in
depreciation TO be put upon paragraph
3s3 of the Mckinley tariff act, which
provides that assorted" wool shall pay
twice the duty levied upon unsorted
wool. The importers have been bring
ing in wool sorted as to color only, and
have argued that In that condition il
was not to be regarded as sorted
wool in the meaning of the law. They
have also held that the law
did not apply TO third-class wool,
but that was minor point.
Test cases were made OF importations
by E. S. Higgins & Co. and Thacher &
Co., appeals being taken from the de-
cisions of the collector in favor of i'm
posing the double duty. Before the
General Appraisers the points at issue
have been argued at great length, and
both the importers and the Ohio barons
have been we'll represented. In q
financial way the cases were important,
for millions Of dollars depended upon
the result. The General Appraisers
give lengthy decision. In the first
place they rule that the sorting clause
applies to all woods, including those of
the third class. In the second place
they decide what sorting" means,
and that is the most i'm
portant part of the decision. Their
ruling on this is as follows: Sorting,
as commercially defined, means that
process preliminary to wool manuiac-
turing necessary to ft that article for
textile pur poses, which consists inclass-
flying By separation the hbers OF the
heeces clipped from the sleeps body
according to length, fineness, elasticity
and soundness of staple But the
