II IS understood the Treasury De-
partment has experts at work at tariff
revision, that ls, in formulating a
tariff schedule in accordance with the
Democratic idoa and modified by the
necessities OF tho country and revenue.
Whether n general bill will DO intro
duced or whether the question shall
DO approached tentatively has not
been determined. II has become
known, however, that it is proposed to
lower the existing duties on a number
of articles which have heretofore been
protected by high duties, and which
will most certainly cripple a number
Of our most ilourishing industries and
turn certain lines OF trade into tho
hands Of foreign manufacturers.
In order to mako up the loss In rev.
enuc which this cuurse will entail, IL
Will become necessary to relmpose
the duty on sugar, which WIS removed
by the Mckinley bill. and again put q
duty on tea and coffee, which have
besn duty free for some twenty.one
years. How will the people, the men
who work for low wages, relish that
change? 1t means an increase in the
I price of all these artlclus-artieles
u ied in every household in the land.
But the people dare not complain.
They voted for just this thing wher
they voted for Grover Cleveland and
they knew what they were about.

The crematory Committee Of the
City Council will meet with the Board
OF Health at a o'clock. to take into
consideration not only the building of
q crematory, for which proposals have
been received ranging In price from
fI0, 600 TO &c. 500. The joint commit
toes will nc doubt. at this time, con-
slider all the details connected with
getting clear of all the obnoxious
garbage OF the city which has been an
Increasing source OF trouble and anx-
iety to all cities. The public Will no
doubt be delighted to know that the
City Council has made direct appro.
priation of $4,000 to carry out the
project. 1t looks now as II the plan
can he put into complete operation
without going beyond the limits OF
this appropriation.
1t would have been better had the
committee and Board OF Health been
more expeditions In their movements
and had the crematory in operation
during the hot months OF summer.
But this somehow did not seem feasi'
BILE. and we will not have the advan-

Various plans have been adopted
fro time to time to get clear OF 1t
when the best has beeh done 1t SEEM
that the city was only benefited by in

feet returns to the feet of the thrower
Many OF the throwers ara left-handed.
These aborigiDes are q distinct race Of
| people. black as the negro, but the forehead
does not reoede; neither does the jaw pro-
ject. Their hair is Of fine texture, in
clined to curl and always black, but not
''kinkyn like that Of the negro.
A canuibal feast is celebrated with their
corroDorree or palti, a native dance. A
huge FIRE is built, around which the dancers
circle, without any clothing save a coat Of
paint on their breast and limbs They are
painted in white to represent skeletons.
Each rib is painted over with a stripe OF
white, a white stripe OF paint runs down the
breast, each leg and each arm, and the face
is painted with white slAshes Their black
bodies, in stripes of white, cireling around
the camp fire, give a rather startling and
sepulchral effect, with the deep darkness Of
the soughing trees for background.
They dance with a vibratory movement
from the knee upward, when standing. or
rather 1t is more OF contortion exercise.
A funeral dirge is chantsd, each chAnter &C
companying himself on their only instru-
mental piece OF music-the double boomer
ang. A boomerang is held by the left hand.
another is taken in the right, one Is beaten
against the other, and they call it music
Their feet are firmly planted upon the
grOund-the dancing" is done with the
body.
Their bodies are disfigursd with the trade
mark Of their tribe, each tribe having diff
ferent brand. They also "decoratep their
bodies with scars, after the manner of In
diars. They slash their bodies with a sharp
stone and fill the wound with clay, which
forms fridge" or meet, encircling the
arm, leg OF tody. The canuibal dude cuts
a hole in his wide nose, in which be wears a
polished white bone five or six inches in
length, and slashes his body in various de-
signs. Endurance OF pain is held to be evi-
dence of bravery.
In addition TO throwing the boomerang
they can throw" their voices and some are
excellent ventriloquists. Their voca ulary
is confined to about 30 words and as many
grunts and gestures. Having no language
of their own, only n gioberish they
are very quick to learn other languages
from pronunciation only. They are the
most llliterate of all peoples. have no con-
ception of time or dates, cannot enumerate
as high as ten units, yet have "a wonderful
faculty for learning languages of other peo-
pes.
Their native medicine ia the Juice of the
milk weed, which they squeeze out of the
stem aud drink At the funerals the women
do the mourning, shouting and wailing until
exhausted. Some of the tribes bury their
dead 10y dropping the bodies down into
hollow trees upright; others scoop holes in
soft rocks; another tribe bures the bodv in
a sitting position, the knees drawn up close
TO the chin, with the hands cAsped over the
knees. Sticks and leaves are placed over
tue body. Sometimes the body is placed 10
the fork OF a tree and tied to the limbs.

CHURCH AND GUARDIAN MATCHED

a queer Old New Orleans Chapel aud
Its German Sexton.
The chapel of st. Roche pronounced
"Roke'1 is by far the strangest place OF
worship have seen, even In Canada or
California, says a writer 10 Harper's.
Standing up tall and shallow, ike a kitchen
clock. is little brick chapel whose front is
all but hidden behind ivy. Ii has kneeing
benches but no pews, and under it's altar Is
recumoent life-size figure Of the Savior,
unclad as he was lifted from the cross. But
1t Is what is on the altar that is most novel.
All about upon it's shelves are loEenges OF
marble shaped like great visiting cards On
them are carved such legends as Thanks"
THANKS, J. W." "Meroi," Thanks,
granted June 80, 1871" Hang
ing by ribbons on the same altar are
wax casts Of little baby hands, or hands
aud forearms. or tiny feet One large pair
OF bands stands there in a glass case. All
these are offerings OF those for whose pray
ers such members have been rescued from
disease or uselessness. A double score Of
candles burn on the altar, and as many men
and women pray before II. The fourteen
stations OF the cross, seen in all Catholic
churches are here placed out of doors In
little shelters OF open,work wood, upon
which vines creep and illuminate their
foliage with blossoms. IL would be- difficult
picturesque than Is seen when hopeful wo-
men are passing from ono 20 another Of
these holy emblems to kneel at each in
prayer.
A very remarkable German is in charge
OF this sanctuary, and unconsciously re-
lieves the tension upon those who are awed
by the funereal and religious character OF
the premises. He does net mean TO be
funny, but be is exceedingly Sc. He goes
about hammering the virgins and saints on
the figured tablets of the stations of the
cross, ana saying: you see dot. Dot os
prouze from Munich; chenuwine pronze."
He hustles into the chapel past all the kneel-
ing supplicants aud talks about the things
there-even the most sacred ones-like an
auctioneer. He must not be harmed by my
saying this, or offended for he is GER
tainly jealous and dutifu man.

Policeman Masters was compelled to be abb

ceptions in cases Of sickness or OF death
and the application should have been

that the police force OF Savannah do not

when the required qualifications for mem
bership of the force are of a high grade
physically and morally; that the hours
OF their service are long and tiresome /;
that their lives ana limbs are in

TIE JUG, TIE EEL AND THE BASS.
An Incident That Shows the Sagacity
of Certain Variety of Game Fish.

An Incident That Shows the Sagacity
of Certain Variety of Game Fish.
From the Toledo Commercial
Frank Baird of the internal revenue Office
is just now telling of strange thing that
creek during an extremely hot day last
season. He and ex-Colector George L.
johnson were out for a days sport with
hook and line when this happened, and,
course, no one who knows the gentlemen
will doubt their veracity, or their ability
to catch more fish than anybody else on the
creek. On this occasion they had been
favored with fair luck, and it was with
much internal satisfaction that they sat
down on the bank to eat their noon lunch.
What they saw there is best told in the
words OF Mr.. Baird himself:
eve had with US small demijohn of
Lemonade" said he, land this e placed in
the water few feet from the shore to keep
1t cool. About fifteen minutes after we
left it | was startled by an exclamation
from johnson, who had his eye on the Jug,
and when l looked was as much surprised
as he to see big black bass Juggling away
at the corn cob stopper OF the jug. The
mouth of the demijohn was oven with the
surface OF the water, so that the fish could
just reach it. He was pulling for dear life,
but did not seem to make much Roadway
until big eel came along and took hand
in the game. The eel was about feet long
ana be swan leisurely around for few
minutes, as though he were trying to make
out what the bass was up to. All this time
we kept as still as mice, and in breathless
aPtonishment awaited further develop
ments. Coon the eel seemed to comprehend
the situation, and he VOLUNTEERED his help
HE YVES long and 1.-the, and raising his
body out OF the water about a foot he
twisted himself in q corkscrew and
soon had the stopper out of the jug. He
then slipped down and politely gave the
bass a chance for the first drink. The fish
made a desperate effort to get something
out OF the jug, but signally failed aud was
obliged to give up, evidently much dis
gusted. The eel then took his turn aud
found it AN easy matter to reach up out OF
the water, stick bis head in the Jug and
imbibe the contents This he did, with
joyous satisfaction showing plainly all over
his body. But the poor bass was disconso-
late and became more uneasy every minute,
while the eel stayed manfully at the jug.
Finally bright idea struck Mr.. Bass,
and quick as flash he grabbed Mr.. Eel by
the tail and with one snap bit off the end.
Then be kept the new end Of the eel in his
mouth and sucked that jug dry through
the cells body. When the Jug was emptied
they both swan away and by their actions
they must have been in a very hilarious
condition. We were out a QuarC OF first
class bait" but we were glad TO pny that
much for the novel exhibition we had wit
messed. The incident also shows the in
geniousness as we'll as the upgrateful quail
tiles of the black bass"
