WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE
In No Hurry to Report Tariff or Amy
Other BILL

lM NO hurry 60 Report a Tariff or Amy
Other Bill.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.--It was reports
ed Monday that the majority Of the
committee on ways and means had de-
cided to formally report bills doubling
the internal revenue tax on beer and to
impose tax on legacies, etc.
These propositions are before the
committee in more or less formal shape,
but Chairman Wilson is authority for
the statement that any report imputing
to the majority Of the committee de-
cisive action upon these matters or any
other within the next two weeks would
have no foundation in fact
Mr.. Wilson, in answer to a question
as to whether or not the tariff bill
would be reported to the house by Nov.
/, recalled the fact in the Fifty-frst
congress the committee on ways and
means, which was appointed early in
December, did not report the Mckinley
bill until the middle Of April, period
of four months

sne HAD . Right to Know,

There is a Washington young woman
who, while not conspicuous beauty, is by
no means as homely as she affects to believe.
A young man has been deyoting much OF
his time to her, and she has given him rea-
son to think that his society pleased her.
The other evening he said:
do You believe that you could learn to
care for anybody well enough to marry
him?"
She caught her breath and then answered
In low tone:
Yes; am sure could"
Have you--have you anybody in your
mind now for whom you could care in this
wayfn
'tYesn
Tell me, am that personin
She opened her lips to speak and then
closed them without speaking She looked
at him narrowly for moment and then
said: &

And how" said Es Sind. "shall they
learn tbis?" And pointing toward the
east the sheykh said, Thus" whereup0n
rs Sind saw approaching him, bearing
down upon him like the olinding lightning,
monster of awful aspeeI. with head
like the fiery dragon of the East and
body like the great serpent of the sea- and
a fiery eye, and the monster shrieked nor
ribly and spat out fire and black smoke as
he came along with the speed of the wind
And the people hissed and gr0aned and
shrieked defiance at the monster, where

OF whom ran forward among the crowd and
escaped, but others were thrown down and
their hands and faces were torn and their
bodies cut and bruised. so that Is Sind
burst not so much as breathe deeply for his
fright, for he saw that this must be none
other than King Wax Wax, and when the
monster had passed he said to the sheykh
There Is no strength nor power but in
Allah, the high and the great; doubtless ii
twas by reason of the sins OF this people
that Ala sent this monster to rule over
them." Aud again the sheykh was wroth
| and said: Allah aud the Rial reQuite
thee for thy turpitude. The people them
selves gave King Wax Wax his power and
they themselves permit hin to pass thus
through their streets, and yet thou seest
how they rcvile and deride him and would
cause his way to be obstructed."
The morning call., 1893-08-20

And Es Sind said: "For what does he
traverse the streets, and what is the rea-
son of his desiring to carry away the peO-
ple2 Does he slay and deyOur them 90
And the shevkh said; Not so. He carries
them not save that they may go To the
great city TO buy and sell and engage in
traffic, that they may get gain; but, 10, they
desire that he carry them within the
limits of their own city without recon-
pense, as was agreed in years gone by, and
are wroth that he has so arranged his mat
ters that they shall not be carried back and
forth without returning an honest equiva-
lent therefor"
"And did King WAX WAX" asked Es
Sind, return TO the people an honest
equivalent for the streets they have given
up to him. and the powers they have given
him, and the great wealth that he has
amassed Dy reason of their liberalitv and

Sind rode him afar until he fell down on
his face and no strength remained in him

efreet would have urged him further Es
Sind said; Verify, 1 deemed that the
efreets existed not save to serve the chill

And giving Es Sind thrust with his foot
he left him, saying: when thou art rested

preached him one walking, of sleek appear
