Department to-day by telegraph in favor of

siderable experience in postal service. A

"SORTING CLASSES"
Decision on The Construction Of a Para
graph in the Tariff Law.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The Board Of Cen
eral Appraisers to-day rendered an i'm
portant decision on the construction of
Paragraph 3S3 of the new tariff law, which
recently became a subject of controversy
between the woOl-growers of Ohio and the
carpet manufacturers of New England. The
opinion is that the ''sorting classes" re-
ferred to in Paragraph SS3 apply to all woods,
including wool OF third class. Sorting is
here, in effect, defined by the statute to be
the process of separation, which increases
III value imported wool by the rejection of
part of the original fleece. The phrase,
Shall be twice the duty to which it (wool
or hair would be otherwise subjected"
means that the duty on sorted woods (when
separated otherwise than as 10 colon and
increased in value shall be twice the duty
to which fleece in an unsorted condition
shall be liable. Any sorting or manipua-
ton of woods made with intent to evade
lawful duties is fraud on the law and SUBJ
lects the merchandise to the penal duties
imposed. The board reyerses the Collect

AN EMBARRASSING BLUNDER.
A Young Milwaukee Bride Claimed b,
Two Husbands.

n IOunS milwaukee, Bride Claimed by
Two Husbands.
According to the Chicago papers young
business man of Milwaukee had most en-
barrassing and unusual experience whfle
passing through the Windy City recently on
his wedding trip. While in Chicago ths
newly married couple went to the races,
where they were seen by a well-kuown
Chicago sporting man who mistook the lady
for his wife, and had them secretly tracked
to their hotel by a detective. The indignant
husband. followed. and meeting the bride
groom in the hotel rotunda denounced him
and demanded the return of his wife
whom he insisted he had seen at tile
race-course with the Milwaukeean. The
latter protested in vain that the Chicago
man was mistaken, but ne said he knew
his own wife and was not to be fooled in
that fashion. Finally 1t was agreed that a
boy in the employ of the Chicago husband
should personate bell-boy and Carrying a
pitcher of water upstairs to the lady's room,
should take good look at her and report
He did SO, and returning reported that she
was undoubtedly the spouse of the Chicago
man. This did not please the bridegroom,
and the boy was sent back TO give him a
more extended opportunity for observation.
On his return the second time lie said he
had been mistaken: that though the face
was the same in every feature and the dress
was identical, the voice was different. The
Chicago man Immediately said the boy had
been bribed and declined to accept
his verdict. 1t was then suggested
to him that he should go home
and see II his wife was not there, but
he looked upon this as trap. anu declined
to stir. lie agreed, however, to an arrange
ment by which he should guard the hotel
door while the detective should visit his resi-
dence. The latter presently returned with
the information that the counterpart of the
bride safe her home and Chi
cago's representative sneaked off feeling
very small indeed. The Milwaukeean next
day received letter of profuse apology,
but his bride is said to be still in ignorance
whether the Chicago husband made anv
apologies to his wife, but, if the incident
really occurred, it would seem that she
should have had the privilege of serving
him with very large slice of the humble
pie which he was compelled 10 eat.-Balti-

A Cat Creates a Small Panic.

A cat created brief tempest in Bowdoin
square yesterday. and it was this way:
An Italian of generous girth keeps little
fruit-stand in that quarter, and his chief
pride is in his oranges. which he stacks
up in one huge golden pyramid, with the
apex of single orange nicely poised on
sued by a dog, thought he saw coign of
vantage in the pyramid and made wild
leap for it. OF course it gave way, and the
more the oranges fell the more frantic were
the clawings of the cat, until in a sort of
over the street. The small boys reaped a
harvest. and the grief of the Italian was
pitiful to see. When lie had recovered the
better part of his stock in trade he seized
the feline by the neck and gave her one
mighty shoot up an alleyway, from which
she returned no more. And then peace
came down on the square agaiD.-Boston

SUGAR CUTS.
Inauguration Of a Bitter Fight by The
Trust Against Claus SpreCkeIS.

New YORK, Aug. A bitter fight was
begun to-day by the Sugar Trust against
Claus Spreckels, who has been thorn in
the side OF the sugar refiners on this coast
for many years. About ten DAYS ago the
President Of the Sugar Trust was called
away from the city by the fatal illness of
his father, F. c. Havemeyer. While he was
away the Sugar Tru st maintained tue price
for gianulated sugar. but Claus Spreck els
announced reduction Of 1-16 of q. cent per
pound, cutting seriously into the trade of
the Sugar Trust. Yesterday President
Havemeyer returned and at once ordered
the Sugar Trust price reduced 1-16 of cent
below the cut made by Spreckcls. The lat
ter to-day made another cut, bringing his
price 1-16 of a cent below the price asked
by the trust. The reductions made bring
the price for granulated sugar down to 4
cents per pound in Philadelphia, on which
2 per cent is allowed off, making the net
cash price 3-92 cents, the lowest on record.
The price named by the trust is 4.16. In
August. 1889. after the formation of the
trust. sugar sold at So cents per pound.
Inc curious feature OF the fight is that In
the raw sugar market both parties are
urgent buyers, and the Sngar Trust tO-day
bought raw sugar at 8 5-16 cents. This
brings the profit Of refining down to very
low point
