for the tariff fight, which is soon to begin,

about the bill for revenue only that is

reasons for some changes, and manufac-
turers themselves point out some impor-
tant amendments that should be made.
But when Il comes 10 making the bill
one for revenue only, there win be a
big fight for protection on the old lines
and for the old reasons. Chairman VIII

Sick Lascars from India Prefer Death ia
Food Prepared by Christians.
The British ship Lanark arrived in
port recently. says the Philadelphia
Press. The physician from the British
consulate went aboard to examine the
crew. Three-fourths were Lsscars,
shipped in Bombay. The doctor found
six suffering from heart affection and
two from other diseases. The last two
were in serious condition. The doc
tor, through an interpreter. told one
he must be removed to hospital. The
crew gathered around the physician
and uttered the most furious protests.
The sick man said he would rather die
than leave the ship and his country
men.
A Lascar eats nothing but food pre-
pared by a countrynan: a Christian
touching it would cause contamina-
ton, and anyone partaking of it after
this defilement loses caste. This was
why the sick man preferred death to
leaving the vessel. He consented to go
only after the doctor had solemnly
promised that he should have food pre-
pared by one of tie crew, and be per
mitted to leave. whether sick Or well,
when his ship cleared this port. Then
he and the other sicl, man, who is an
Egyptian, were taken to the Medico-
Chirurgical hospital.
Not another Lascar could be induced
to leave the ship. They have their own
cook, who mixes the food on square
stone. mashes and boils it. Rice, tea.
currie and water form the main part of
their diet Under an agreement be-
tween the Indian Steamship association
and the British government better care
is taken of tho Indian than of English
sailors. The Lascars ship under spe-
cial and separate articles, which pro-
vide the kind of food they are to have,
permit to worship as they please, and
stipulate warmer clothing and plenty
of it in cold climates. Little meat is
eaten, for only those of certain caste
are allowed to indulge. The Lascars

vator in building on West Fourteenth

lite and full of information as to the

The reporter couldn't ascertain
whether the rosy-cheeked elevator girl
was a fixture Or not, as she refused
pointblank to answer any questions
about herself.

when asked her Lame. Il am here to
