by an electric light from man-of-war.
He said further that the vessel was
steaming north. With this fact in
view there is but little doubt that
it is the Esmerelda going north to
intercept the Itata. If a naval engage
ment takes place it can not be delayed,
If the Charleston is on the right track,
much later than Saturday, and will
doubtless be fought off the coast of the
state Of Jalizco. The following dispatch
was received at the City of Mexico, Fri.

low, ralish craft is lying on and off this
port with steam up and flying no colors.
Fishing boats report her as being
manned by large crew, and protected

More Tariff RaIsIng.

It is hard to get tariff law applied
as the tariff makers themselves intend
ed. Under the old tariff law woolen
stockings and knitted wool underwear
were dutiable as "knit goods" In the
Mckinley bill this language was
changed to "knit fabrics" 1t was sus-
pected at the time that this change was
made in order that domestic manufact-
urers might raise the point that stock
ings and underclothing are not knit
fabrics" but wearing apparel which
bears much higher duty.
1t is said that Mckinley himself and
Congressman Dingley, who helped him
TO make the tariff bill, both deny that
they intended these articles TO bear the
heavier duty as wearing apparel At
any rate, the change of language was
made, and It seems almost certain that
it was made by interested parties who
meant TO spring their trap later.
We'll, the trap has been sprung, and
the United States circuit court IN New
York has decided in favor Of the wear
ing apparel" Interpretation. This
makes the duty on stockings and knit
underwear 49JS cents per pound and 90
per cent. ad valorem.

How Shoddy II Made, Spun and Woven
How TO Detect shoddy--1daking CHEAP
TeriT Clothes For tho People.
The word 'shoddy, /" as ordinarily
used in the past meant all sorts Of
wool waste made from wool which has
once gone through the various pro
cesses of manufacture, such as scour-
ing, carding or combing, spinning and
weaving.
Now, however, since so many substi-
tutes for new and clear wool have been
brought into use, the broad term shod-
dy has been narrowed down to include
only clearly defined wool substitute,
and the other substitutes formerly in
cluded under IL have been given new
names. Thus therefore, we have il
the category Of wool substitutes the fol
lowing: (l) new shoddy; (2) old shod'
dy; (a) extracts; (4) flocl<s; (5) COW hair

report declares that "the good, though
quiet demand for nearly all classes Of
stock which we have noted for several
weeks, continues, and dealers find little
difficulty in moving their stocks at
quoted prices. In extracts and
shoddies the outlook for both is espe-
ciaily good, and in both old and new
wooden rags there are indications of
continuation of the presentfairly strong
inquiry, If not a positive, general i'm

And month later, on April o, 1--WE note
continuation of the very good demand
for those lines of stock which have been
moving more or less freely of late, and
there seem to be no indications of any
tendency to weaken prevailing prices"
A comparison of the prices which pre-
vailed before the passage of the Nc
Kinley tariff assured to the shoddy
manufacturers a boom in their trade
and the latest quotations show how
great the boom really has been.

Virtues and Graces.
Chicago Advance.

Chicago Advance.
"Virtues without graces are rug
ged. Graces without virtues are
weak. Virtues and graces have the
strength of beauty and the beauty Of
strength. The pillars Of the virtues
should be crowned with the vines
of the graces. A man who has the
cardinal virtues without the cardinal
graces is hardly more than half
man. He has prudence, the selfward
duties he performs promptly; he is
just, the duties towards his fellows he
performs with alacrity; he is model
husband, a model father; he is exact
in his benevOlence. He has fortitude.
He has the patience of Job and the
courage of hero. He also has the
sense Of order; he has a time and
place for everything and everything
in its time and place. He never
oversteps the bounds; he always
steps when and where he ought to
step. Such man, possessed of the
cardinal virtues only, would be an
automatOn. He would lack heart,
love, life. A character which thus
embOdies the cardinal virtues should
be adorned with those graces of char
acter which we call minor, but which
are like certain minor keys in music,
the sweetest, and without which
the major would be heavy and dis
cordant. Tender sympathies, loving
sensibilities should be intertwined
with the great and strong virtues.
Those who remember the Ten Com.
mandments should not forget the
Beatitudes. The blessings of the
fifth of Matthew are to Irvine them
selves about the cold, white columns
of the twentieth of Exodus. The
sweet strains Of the Sermon on the
Mount should be heard in the thun'
ders of Sinai. The blessings Of the
poor in spirit should be wreatheC
round the character of him who wOr.
ships the Lord Jehovah. The bles
sings of the peacemaker is to adorr
him who revers the Sabbath. Tn,
blessing of the merciful is to belong
to those who honor father and moth
er, and the blessing Of the pure il
= heart-the sight of Gods the pos
session Of those who do not tax,
Gods name in vain. Virtues ant
t graces are to be united in each man.
