MIR. FIELD is BEATEN.
He Must Pay Duties Imposed by McKin-
ley's Tariff Law.

ley's Tariff Law.
AT Chicago Judge Blodgett decided against
Marshall Field in his suit to recover certain
moneys paid on imported woolens and en-
broideries under the Mckinley tariff act.
Mr.. McKihley's bill materially incre ased the
duties on those goods. and Marshall Field
protested against the increase on the ground
that the law was unconstitutional. The
importer held that the well known fact that
the bill as 1t was sigTrd by the President
was not the same as the bill passed by Con-
gress, because In engrossing 1t and prepar-
ing 1t for the Presidents signature the
clause on tobacco rebates had been left out,
rendering the act null and void. Judge
Blodgett did not hand down a written de-
cision, but disposed of the matter in few
words. He said the case was one for the
consideration of the Supreme Court of the
United States.

Found the Station.

Two Egyptians, dark-skinned and
fez-topped, boarded downtown train
on the Sixth avenue elevated road a
few days ago, says @ New York paper.
They took,seats near the door. One of
them produced q piece of paper and a
pencil. On the paper were eleven
straight lines All inch i'll height. An
inch Of space separated them. AS the
train stopped at Fifty-niDth street the
Egyptian drew the pencil ob1iquely
through the first line. The other man
watched the operation intently and
nodded approval. At each station q
line was turned into an X until Eighth
street was reached, when they were all
KS but one. There the pair left the
train. That was the Egyptian way Of
finding the right station. Some phil
antlropist counted the stations between
Seventy and Eighth streets and
gave them the paper and pencil, With
instructions.
