Correction in the Tariff Bin.

correcting an error of punctuation in the
Tariff act The error makes the act pro-
vide that cables, cordage and Irvine lex
cept binding Irvine composed in whole or
in part of textile of tampico fibre, MANILA,
sisal grass or SUNNI shall pay duty of
one and one-half cents per pound. The
trainers of the bill intended that binding
Irvine should pay duty of seven-tenths
of cent per pound, and the correction in
punctuation makes this legal. Under the
error of punctuation, all twines of what
ever fibre might have been admitted at
was the intention TO subject all of them
(with the execution of binding twines) to
duties of two and one-half and three cents

steamship that crossed the Atlantic was

A knot is $3.50 feet long. The dis
tance from New York to Liverpool is
1904 nautical miles by the northern
track and 3,l39 miles by the southern
track. From, Liverpool to New York
the distances are respectively 3,O39 and
3,lO9 miles. In estimating records the
points taken on either side are Sandy

British coast is the Bull. Cow and Calf,

either Nantucket or Fire Island.
The largest passenger steamship in

In one of the city's large dry goods

was justified. Carrying it to the super

tanned $5,O66. There We're i en- five hum
dred dollar bills, a check for forty dol
lars and some small bills and change.
Within half an hour pale faced
woman appeared at the Office, asking
breathlessly if purse had been recently
found in the shop. The well stocked
pocketbook was hers. She had not left
the shop before missing it, discovering
her loss at an up stairs department to
which she had gone from the one where
the purse escaped her. Her identifica-
ton of the money, including drawer and
drawee of the check, was complete, and
it was promptly delivered to her.
She thanked the superintendent warm
ly, and was about to leave the office
when that gentleman suggested that she
owed the recovery of her money to the
honesty of the little cash girl do You

honesty ought to go unrewarded?' The
woman stopped. mo. of course not"
she said hastily, and opening the Just re-

she departed with the fortune Of whose
keeping she was so careless, and of whose
finding she was so unappreciative.-

Died of Hiccough.

Robert Porter three weeks ago had an
attack of bilious fever, but nothing more
serious developed until few days ago.
He began to hiccough, but it was
thought by the physician to be only a
temporary affection brought on by the
disordered system. The hiccoughing
continued almost necessarily, and all the
doctors could do was to give the sufferer
opiates to put him to sleep. But the rest
was only momentary, and the fatal hic-
coughing racked his frame for more than
two days. The physicians who We're
called informed the family that unless
the hlccoughing could be stopped the
patient would die from exhaustion, but
they knew Of no remedy. Saturday

heavily built, weakened rapidly, and the

All ON Account Of a Pig.

The Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals, which has lately
assumed the management of the public
pound, and John Partridge, who is the
officiating poundkeeper of this city and
county, are in trouble. It is all over q
plg-the pet of man who walks the
streets followed by the animal, which
wears blanket and tamely answers its
masters call whenever it is given.
Neither the pig nor the man appar-
emily knows that they are the subject of
a much mixed controversy, but such is
the case. Questions concerning that
pig are pouring into the office of the
poundkeeper and the Society for the Pre-
ventlon of Cruelty to Animals daily and
are becoming more complicated as the
time goes on. Here are some of them:
Ii pig assumes the manners and
privileges of a dog is it not also COM
PEELED to take upon itself the same re-
sponslbilities the dog has to carry?
Why is this pig not regularly regis
tered and licensed. and why does it not
have p tag attached to its collar, which
puts it on an equal footing with dog?
What right has this pig to the freedom
ce :he city:
What legal standing has this pig in
case it gets itself into any trouble?
What is the difference between a dog
and pig from a legal point of view?
How can a man take out a dog license
for pig, and would not a pig travelling
with such a permit be liable to be ar
rested for false pretensess
Ii Mr.. Partridge or his deputies seize
this pig for not being licensed, will not
its owner have good cause of action for
a damage suit against the city and
county,
Such are the knotty problems Mr..
Partridge has to wrestle with, and it is
because he doesn't know any solution of
them that his nights are either sleepless
or troubled with dreams, in which he
sees people with every kind of animal
from an elephant to a mouse following
them about the streets as pets.-San
