That the Mckinley tariff IS givil

That the Mckinley tariff Is giving
us bad goods is becoming more and
more generally recognized by business
men. A prominent firm Of packers
writes to The National ProUisio''er as
follows in regard to tin plate
The tariff is levied, as you know,
against the weight Of the plate. In
consequence Of this the plates that are
being imported and used to make cans
Of are dangerously light. We buy
from one Of the most reputable firms
in Baltimore, yet we have much difi
Guilty in getting plate in our cans that
will stand up at all. What the effect
Of all this will be to the shipping trade
that rely upon canned goods mainly OF
their long voyages, as well as on thu
packers who send their goods to for
eign countries, it is difficult now t.
determine. But certain it is the quail
ty Of tin that is used this season il
canned goods must result in injury t.
the whole industry.

coon ROADS VERSUS had ROADS.


A project on foot to contructa smooth
broad boulevard connecting Baltimore
with the Capitol of the Nation, has at
tracted attention for the first time in
this section Of the country to the real,
vital Impotence Of the good road
question.
It was thought when railroads were
built and freight trains began to run
that there would be no more use fol-
canals, and when passenger coaches
were put on it was surmised that there
would be no more use for carriage roads
But the utility and Importance Of the
canal for the taxation of certain classes
Of freight has never been diminished
and never Will nor will anything ever
supplant the smooth carriage roads OF
furnish pleasure to the tourist so de-
lightful as that Of rolling over a fine
pike behind brisk pair Of horses.
The project for boulvard between
Baltimore and Washington is an indi-
cation Of modern enlightment and il
will succeed because it is wise and
practical and worthy Of public support
The day is not far distant when SINH
lar boulevards will stretch from end to
end of the land, nor is the day far of
when people will begin to realize that
good roads are better than bad roads
many per cent, and that while con-
structing and maintaining roads it is
just as wise and just as cheap to con.
struct and maintain good roads as bad
roads. 1t is hoped that the day will
soon come when bad piece of road
anywhere in the land will be such q
rarity as good roads are to-day.

Charles Brady, a farmer boy living

terribly mutilated. He would have
been killed had it not been for the ar.

credit. The evening was so stormy that
it was impossible for people to come OUT
so the house was very small. Tuesday
evening was St. Paul night. Mrs. Lyles
had charge of the programme. St. Paul
was at her best. The programme was
exceedingly fine and was greatly en-
joyed by all present. Mrs. Lyles and
all of the friends taking part from cur

But quite another way.
They went to some magician or seer
and had him hunt them up for them-at
least that's what the books say.
The "Magic Mirror" which was pre-
scented at Pilgrim Baptist church Friday
night was representation of how Sir
Knight Francis William sought bride
in ye olden time. He went to the
famous magician Cagliostro who at Will

able maidens which were shown in his
magic mirror until one was found who
suited the fastidious taste of the appT.
cant. The affair from an artistic stand
point was the most successful of any
thing which has been presented in St,
Paul and reflects great credit upon the
managers and the performers. There
was large crowd present which fully
