A Popular Error Exposed.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Actipg
Secretary Nettleton, of the treasury de-
partment, has issued a circular letter
modifying the form of Government spe-
cial tax stamp for retail liquor dealers, so
as to clearly show the United States do
not authorize the sale of liquor contrary
to State or municipal regulations. The
letter says:
Letters are frequently received at the
department stating that in many parts of
country rstail liquor dealers claim to hold
permit or license from the United States
for carrying on their business; that in
many cases where local laws prohibits
public drinking places the law is openly
violated by persons who claim to do bus,
iness under at least the moral sanction of
the Federal license and that this fact,
together with a belief common among
many good citizens that the United States
Government does in fact issue such licen.
ces, greatly retards the enforcement of
wholesome restrictive laws and promotes
disorder.
1t should be unnecessary 10 state that
the United States Government does not
issue license or permit of any nature to
any person in any State to carry on the
business of retail liquor dealer, and it
is difficult to understand how any intelli-
gent citizen can be imposed upon by the
opposite claim. Congress having levied
q revenue stamp tax of $25 per annum on
the business of retail liquor dealer, the
commissioner of internal revenue endea.
vors to collect that tax, wherever and by
whomsoever the business is carried on,
but no semblance of permission, express
or implied, is given by the United States
Government in its revenue laws or other.
wise to begin or continue such business
in any place contrary to local legislation.
thereafter the following will be in
scribed across the face of the stamp to be
issued to retail liquor dealers
"This stamp is simply a receipt for a
tax due the Government, and does not
exempt the holder from any penalty or
punishment provided for by the law Of
any State for carrying on said business
with such State, and does not authorize
the commencement nor continuance of
such business contrary to the laws of such
State, or in places prohibited by munici-
nal law"

Escaped Being Eaten,

CHARLESTON, March 20.-The entire
colored population of Charleston was
thrown into convulsions to day by a
panic among colored children in the Mary
Street school. This is the largest colored
school in the United States, having nearly
1900 pupils.
1t was about 1890 o'clock when a
wiry built, bright colored man dressed in
the fantastic costume of an east Indian,
walked into one of the class rooms of
the primary department. and began to
make speech 10 the Chi ldren. BE told
them he was reformed cannibal and
used to eat human beings, and his gen
eral appearance bore his assertion out
The colored people have lately been on
their perennial scare about the medical
students and were easily frightened.
The children laughed at him at first, but
he ran at one of the girls with outstretch-
ed arms and she fled, shrieking that the
man was going to eat her.
Swiftly the panic spread, and in mo.
ment the whole school was in a fright.
They rushed heller skelter out of the
class rooms, down the stairs into the
yard, and hence pell nell across the
grounds, over the fences and into the
street. They stood not on the order of
their going, but went.
The excitement spread through the
primary to the intermediate department.
and within three minutes after the first
shrek of the frightened girl rang through
the building there was not child in it.
By this time the colored population for
squares around had been attracted by
sounds OF the children's screams and had
gathered. from all directions until the
street in front of the building was sea
of black faces. Every was yelling
at the topof their voices, and awhile it
seemed es though pandemonium had been
let loose.
News of the panic spread far and wide
throughout the city, and by the time it
reached the lower portion of the city it
had been magni6ed into terrible acct
dent. The building was said to have
caved in, causing the loss of hundreds of
lives.
A platoon of policemen arrived on the
scene but we're utterly powerless to keep
the crowd out. Mothers scaled the fen.
ces shrieking for their children and the
confusion became worse and worse con.
founded. After long battle the police
managed to clear space enough to allow
the children to come out and things were
finally quieted down.
The most remarkable thing about it is
that only three out of 1000 pupils we're
injured, none fatally. The man who
caused the panic was arrested and had to
be escorted to the police station under a
strong guard. He says he is a Fiji Is-
lander 79 years old and was once canni-
bal. BE gives the name of John Char
vim and says he dined once with James
G.. Blaine at his home at Augusta. BE
is now on lecturing tour and gas to
have lectured tonight in one of the col.
ored churches. He claims to be q British
subject, and says he will demand salts
faction for his treatment through the
British consul here from the British gov
ernment.
When he went to the school house he
was dressed in crimson damask and
showed finger nails- Seven inches long
and filed teeth. He denies that he want
ed to frighten the children.-Dispatch to

at the marvellous vitality he displays.
The old premier is fighting with char
acteristic tenacity, but the fight cannot
be much longer maintained Since Fri

APolItical Crisis Imminent.
A crisis in political circles is imminent.
The Cabinet sat six hours Saturday, but,
as if by arrangement, the lips of all the
Cabinet Ministers are sealed as to what
was done. In the event of Sir Johns
death, Sir Henry Langevin, the Privy
Councillor, will be summoned by the
General to assume control of
public affairs, but with grave charges of
malfeasance in Office hanging over him.
The Minister of public Works will natur-
ally refuse to do so, leaving the question
of leadership between Sir John Thomp-
son, Minister of Justice, and Sir Charles
Upper, High Commissioner for Canada
in England.
The government has already held an
informal onforanca with the Minister of
Justice, but indications are that large
wing of the Conservative party will in
sist on the sanction of Sir Charles Tup-
per as the new Premier, Sir John Thomp-
son being Roman. Catholic.
A caucus of the party will be held at
an early date, and Parliament to-day will
be asked to adjourn for three weeks.

SIR JOHNS CAREER.
For Years He Has Been q Prominent Fig

For Years He Has Been q Prominent Fig
ure in the Affairs of Canada.
Sir John Macdonald was born in Suth-
erlandshire, Scotland, January II, 1915.
He was brought to Canada in 1920, when
his father, Hugh Macdonald, settled in
Kingston, Ont. He was educated at
Kingston, and when 10 years old began
to study law. He was admitted to the
bar in 1885, and in 1886 became counsel,
and achieved distinction by his defense
of Schultz, who made a raid into Canada
in 1886.
Macdonald entered public life in
1874, as the representative of the city of
Kingston in the House of Assembly and
continued to sit for this constituency
until the Union of 1878 when he was
defeated Several other constituencies
then elected him and he sat for Lennox
County. In May, 1S47, he was first ap-
pointed to office, becoming Receiver
General and subsequently, Commissioner
of Crown lands. Early in 1913 the
government was defeated, and Macdonald
remained in opposition until 1854. In
September, 1854, the government was de-
feated on the question of secularization
of the clergy reserves, and he entered the
coalition cabinet which was formed, be-
coming attogney-general,a and under his ad-
vice the clergy reserves were secularized
on what was considered fair basis.
In 1856, on the death of Sir Allan Nc
Nab, Macdonald became the leader of the
Conservatives, which position he has held
yer since, exercising great influence on
Canadian history.
In 1858 the Macdonald ministry was de-
feated on the question of the location of
the seat OF government, but the new min
istry was defeated on the first day in the

TO LEAVE THE CABINET.

A Rumor that Secretary Noble Will Go to
st. Petersburg or London.
WASHINGTON, June 1t is generally
believed in official circles that while
Secretary Noble is not going to
leave the public service they would not
be surprised if in very short time he
would retire from the Interior Depart
ment to accept a prominent place in the
Diplomatic Service.
One story is to the effect that he will
take Minister Smiths place at St. Peters
burg. Another and more probable story
is that If Secretary Proctor should be
selected to succeed Senator Edmunds,
which now seems certain, Minister Lin
coin will be made Secretary of War and
Secretary Noble will be sent to the Court
of St. James.
Secretary Noble is still absent, but
there are those in his department who
believe that he will not much longer
occupy his present position.

will see the most of, but the necessary
changes and repairs in the plumbing and
other work of that character is giving
her as much concern. If the weather is
favorable for the change, she now expects
to go to Cape May Point about June Is
and spend the entire summer there The

FIFTEEN SKINNED.
a Novel Granting Process Perforracd ON
an Injured Miner.

O SNONGA EEoCceh GerAO"AAS1 On
an injured Miner.
PLYMOUTH, Pa, June LA successful
case of skin grating was performed by
DR.. Frank Mckee, of this place. About
one month ago John Watt, a miner, sus.
tanned an injury in the mines whereby he
lost all the skin and flesh Of his thigh and
leg, necessitating the removal of several
muscles.
Watt is a member2of the Plymouth
Lodge of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans, and 10 of his brethren in the lodge
volunteered to present him with portions
of their skin when the operation was de-
cided on.
It was novel spectacle to see these 10
strong, healthy and CHEEKY miners enter
ing the operating room literally for the
purpose of being skinned. They were
prepared antiseptically before the knife
was applied. =
Ten gratis were secured from each
man, making $50 gratis in all. These
were placed on the raw sore near the
edges of the healthy flesh and over the
injured muscles. The men from whom
the skin was removed did not complain
OF any serious pain, and the physician
said they would be perfectly we'll In a
very few days.
The operation consumed four hours.
DIR. Mckee expects that the grated skin
will at once unite with the living flesh,
making the member as sound as ever.
