AT the Annual Meeting Officers Are
Re-Elected and RenOrtS Heard

ACtne annual meeting O1ncefS Are
Reelected and Reports Heard.
The sixteenth annual meeting of the
New Jerusalem Church of the State OF
Minnesota was held Yesterday afternoon
at o'clock in the pretty little church at
the corner of Selby and Virginia ave-
nues. A few pots of green here and
there in the church, and great bouquets
of ruddy autumn leaves afforded
pleasant contrast to the scheme of color
in the interior decorations. After the
simple devotional exercises the meeting
proceeded to the transaction of routine
business. The reports OF the various
officers were brief and featureless. The
report from the Minneapolis society
showed a church membership there of
siXty-one, with an average attendance
of forty The church and Sunday
school work is progressing we'll, and
considerable missionary work is being
done throughout the state
The st. Paul society reported an en-
couraging condition of affairs. The
membership is forty-four, with an av--
erage attendance of forty-eight.
All the officers of the organization
were reelected for the ensuing wear.
The only other business transacted at
the convention was the consideration of
proposition to found~a building So
ciety of the church all over the United
States. This was referred to the presi-
dent of tine society, with power to act.
The president. Rev. E. C. Mitchell, of
ST. Paul, delivered an interesting and
able address OH the position and work
OF the new church, after which the con-
yentlon resolved itself into social at
the house of E. Ii. Cutler. at $50 Summit

delegates entertained.

WOOLLEN IMPORTS.
Highly Important Case Now on
Trial


Trial.
New YORK, Oct. 23.-Tha final reap
praisement hearing on the part of APP
praiser Cooper and later of General Ap-
praiSer Lunt upon the valuation for
dutiable purposes of certain importa-
ton of worsted suitings is going forward
before General Appraisers Sharrett,
Wilkinson and Sharpe. The case is one
of the most important which has ever
come before the board. 1t involves at
least 81 100. coo worth of goods at pres
ent tied up awaiting decisions. The
decision on this case affects the future
importation Of s20,00o,Oo0 worth of
woolen goods.
The principal of the case involves the
question of what constitutes market
value. The particular firm in the case
was that of III. Herman Sternbach &
Co., but it involves all the importing
houses of the country. Local Appraiser
Cooper advanced the goods 10 per cent
above the invoice prices, which means
an advance in duty of AZ per cent. This
advance was made on the representa-
ton of the American Wooden Manufact-
urerS' association, who claimed that the
goods were undervalued and were sold
at price below the actual price of pro-
duction. While this was the plea
urged and the view taken by the
appraiser. the real principle in
the case, and that whic h will affect the
future importations of goods, is that of
market value.
Many prominent importers gave reSti-
mony, and it was brought out that the
goods were purchased in the open mar
ket in Bradford, Eng. of commission
merchants who are agents OF the buyers
and not the sellers. A number of aft
dayits were presented. showing that the
cost Of production was below that of the
price paid in the open market at Brad
ford. Both the importers and the
woollen manufacturers were represent
ed by counsel. il conclusion of the
hearing will be had Saturday. when the
manufacturers will present their side of
the case.
