Board of Appraisers of the Port of New


In the matter of C. W. Whitney of New
York, in the circuit court of the United
States, on Tuesday, Judge Wales handed
down a decision affirming the ruling of
the Board of Appraisers for the port of
New York.
The ease was one in regard to the CLASH
ficaton Of certain corrugated hues, whether
they were fines or furnaces and thus q
greater duty To be charged.
According TO Judge Wales decision the
ilues in question are dutiable ut y cents
per pound instead of 5j per cent ad
vaIorem.
The articles in question were brought
here in 1891, when the collector laid the
duty on them as furnaces. The consignees.
the Harlan & llollingsworth, appealed to
the board of appraisers, New. York city,
hence the action between the collector Of
the port of Wilmington and the New York
authorities.
Judge Wales decree is that the articles
are tlues, not furnaces, and that the proper
duty is = cents per pound not 80 per cent,
rs the collector in this city desired to
charge.

a Radical Cure,

The pastor Of church in mining
village was greatly annoyed by the
conduct of the younger members of
the flock.
When a young woman got tired
of the evening sermon she would rise
and go out, A moment later her
beau" would seize his hat and sheep
ishly follow her to escort her home.
By the time the sermon was over
it was mostly the old people who
were left to hear the conclusion of it..
Mr.. Blank smothAred his annoyance
for some time. At last he resolved
to act.
A youth grew sleepy one Sunday
evening, and picking up his coat and
hat stepped into the aisle. To his
dismay the minister stopped short in
his discourse.
Young man." he said, 1.-The lady
who went out last is not the one you
wish to escort home. When she goes
will let you know Sit down. In
future when a young woman goes
out | will call on the proper young
man to take care of her"
He resumed his sermon. There
was much giggling and a great deal
of wrath. But his sermons were not
interrupted again during the whole
winter. Yankee Blade.

Didn't Care to Go.

A young married woman who
takes an intelligent interest in cur
rent topics discussed the probabili-
ties of a journey to Mars with some
friends at her home the other day.
She said, II presume that some of us
will live to see the time when the in
habitants of the earth can journey
to Mars" The remark was over
heard by Maggie, the new chamber
maid, who had been in this country
but a few weeks and had scarcelyre-
covered from the effects of the voy-
age. At her first opportunity to
speak with her mistress alone she
asked, Say, mum, and where is
, that Mars" The lady carefully ex-
planned to the unsophisticated girl a
few simple facts about our neighbor-
ing planet and facetiously suggested,
You may go there some day, Mag
gie."
"And do you be after goinG" asked
Maggie, with a startled look.

murely.

Why Electric Cars Move Evenly.

do you know why an electric car
goes up hill slowly, as though drawn
by pony mules2" asked an electrician
the other day.
well, I'll tell you," said he.
There is a certain amount of volt
age or electromotive force distrib-
uted over the line, and in order to
keep each car running at a general
average rate of speed no car can be
allowed to usurp more than its share
of pressure. For instance, if one
electric car should be thrown wide
open and permitted to run up hill at
the same rate Of speed it descends a
hill it would for O minute reduce the
time of every other car on the road.
Hence the motormen have positive
orders about slowing down at every
pronounced rise in the roadbed. st.

One of the most unique mechan-
| ical devices rCsorted to is that for
inclined and horizontal log hauling
at u Hudson river paper pulp mills.
| The arrangement consists of an end
less detached chain running in re-
cess at the bottom of trough, hav
ing special links with log teeth every
five feet, and passing over sprocket
wheels whose centers are 200 feet
apart. The head wheel is twenty
five feet above the foot wheel, and
the head end of the chain swings and
can be raised or lowered by means of
a small winch to suit the depth of
the water.
The logs are foated to the haulup,
and, as they come around the foot
wheel, are caught on the teeth Of the
chain and carried up-the incline at
the rate of 125 feet a minute. On
arriving at the top they are dis
charged into horizontal log haul,
having head and foot wheels nearly
600 feet apart, the whole being sim
ilarly constructed to the inclined
haul-the return chain supported by
toothed idlers-and DETECTING piece
is placed across the horizontal CON
veyer, by which the logs, elevated
by the chain, are thrown out Of the
trough and rolled over the side upon
ong skids.
Great saving of time and cost is
thus effected, twenty five horse
power being employed, though some
Of the logs are of immense size.-

The Third party did very little in
the recent election. In all the
states where Weaver electors were
chosen the Democrats supported the
third party ticket-not because they
wished Weaver to be president, but
because he was certain not to be,
and they could therefore weaken
Harrison by voting ter him. In
fair contest, in which the Popul:st
projects made the issue, they would
not vote for the Populist candidates.
These Democrats were very numer-
Gus, and if their votes we're subs
tracted from the Populist total in
the last election the Weaver vote
would not seem so imposing
Even when the Democrats who
voted for Weaver for the purpose of
helping Cleveland are counted as
Populists, the showing made by the
new party is not impressive when
compared with that OF the Know
Nothing party in 1856. In 1892,
out of 65,00O,0O0 people, $4,000
voted for Gen. Weaver in 1856, out
Of 28,0O0,O0O people, 874,534 voted
tor the Know-Nothing candidate,
Mr.. Fillmore. About one voter in
fifteen throughout the country cast
his ballot for Gen. Weaver, while
about one in six voted for Mr.. Pill
more. Nevertheless the party which
the latter led in 1856 disappeared
before the election of 1860.
The election of Weaver electors
was in every state, except possibly
one, tactical success of the Demo
Gratis, rather than a victory for the
third party. 1t is entirely possible
that the party will promptly disap,
pear, as did the Know othings, in
spite of its boosted victories in Kan
sas and other Western states. Then
life would seem very blank to Mr.
Watson, if what he says of his devo
ton to his party be true.-Macor

That Chestnut Gown.

There's another thing I'd like to
tell Mrs. Langtry. said a woman at
reception, and that is that I can
never forgive her for telling a re-
porter about that one black gown of
hers with which she went through a
London season at the time when
she could afford but one dress. You
remember the story-everybody does
how she turned down the neck one
evening, wore it high the next, and
mended and pressed it between
times, and how she ends up by say
ing, Never tell me that woman
can't dress well who has a single
frock, etc.
well, that wretched little story
came out when she first bobbed up
into popularity years ago, and it's
like the Wandering Jew-no, more
like the other fellow-it's still going
to and fro upon the earth, seeking
whom it may devour. It's always
travelling, and it looks in on you at
least about every five or six weeks.
1t pops up in the woman's column,
leers at you from the editorial page,
and even winks the other eye from
the staid, respectable family journal.
1t isn't maddening enough to be
badgered and pursued in this way,
but your husband must needs make
a point of reading that last para
graph out loud with exceeding rel
lsh, and then, if you lose your tenn
per, thinks you are calling him
stlngy old thing under your breath.
Now the next paper see that in
shall stop taking instanter. The edi-
tor that doesn't know a ten-year- old
chestnut when he sees it isn't to be
relied on for news. don't believe a
woman editor would do such thing.

the minute she laid eyes on it,

and behold, Phillips Brooks emerged
from his study, welcomed the visitor
with open arms, babe him enter and
talked with him an hour or so. The
servant felt deeply mortified and

servant, that you told me that you

When Coal Was First Dug in England.

1t was to supply the wants of
smiths and lime burners that English
coal began to be Systematically dug,
about A. d. 1900 This mineral fuel
suited the requirements of their
crafts even better than wood. An
unwonted and widespread demand
for fuel for these purposes doubtless
sprang up at this period, in connec-
ton with the numerous feudal cas-
ties and ecclesiastical buildings
which were being erected through
out the kingdom Not only were
smiths and lime burners the sole
patrons of coal at this early stage,
but for long time subsequently
they continued to be its principal con-
mers.--Contemporary Review.

UnreQuitted Love.

They are telling a story on a young
man in Detroit, which somehow has
only recently got into the current
gossip. 1t appears that during
the past summer he put in a
month at lake resort in the north
west, and there fell in love with a girl
who didn't believe in reciprocity. His
persistence, however, was in no wise
abated by little thing like that. One
day the girl fell off the dock into the
lake, and the young man, being some
what of an athlete and a swimmer,
jumped in and rescued her without
much difficulty.
"Now," he said, as he stood drip
ping on the dock. Il have saved your
life and you must marry me-"
Marry you?" she repeated in be-
wilderment. "Must II"
Its as little as you could do" he
whispered, putting out his hands to
her.
She gave him one look as he stood
there all draggled and sloppy, and
with smothered shrek she plunged
into the flood once more.
The next time she was rescued by a
boy in a boat, and the young man was
so mad he sent bill to her father for
a new suit of clothes. Detroit Free

A. RAlLROAD-CAR HOG.
He Got a Lesson in Courtesy Which Will
Probably Do Him Good.

The smoking-car of the local train
from Bozeman yesterday evening was
the scene of a little unpleasantness,
which might have been worse had it
not been for the excellent Judgment of
one of the parties to said unpleasant
ness, says the Butte (Mont.) Miner.
From information it seems that
woolly man from RoOt-Hog-or-Die
gulch was occupying a whole seat with
his feet and body, while the company
usually figures on two bodies to each
and reserves the floor for the feet
The car was well filled with passen-
gers, and, notwithstanding the man
had been asked to remove his pedal
extremities so that some one not
afraid of wool might sit beside him, he
refused to do so. At one Of the little
gulch stations, however, a cowboy got
on the train, and, seeing all the seats
occupied save the one in which the
woolly man was sitting, he approached
and asked him to move his feet and
make room for mild-mannered
vaquero of the Gallatin valley.
'Now, I'll be id if | do" snarled
the woolly man. Them feet is going
to stay right whar they is, partner,
and don't you forget it." And with
the remark he dropped both heels up
on the cushion to emphasize his re-
mark.
take 'em off, sonny" said the cow
boy, "and make room for your Uncle
Fuller" and as the last words fell he
showed the feet on the floor and fur
Their informed the woolly man that he
would keep his company to Butte. In
the next instant, however, the cowboy
was looking down the muzzle Of as bio
a gun as ever entered the confines of
Montana, but quicker than a flash be
caught and wrested the gun from the
woolly man and began tattoo on his
head with it. After hitting him sew
eral times he placed the muzzle OF the
weapon in the mans right ear and
asked him if he thought tkay could
bOtn olU in ,le same seal. Being an
swered mildly in the affirmative, he
coolly pocketed the weapon and took
seat. while the woolly man watched
the blood flow from his wounds and
drop in great slabs on the floor. AS
described by passenger who witnessed
the affair. the car after the battle look
ed like slaughter-house, but the man
GOT what he was looking for
