In the Forestry building at the Column

the most marvellous and interesting ex-
hibits of all the great fair. This will
apply more particularly to the farming
people, who quite naturally know more
about forestry and kindred pursuits

Rabbits and ELECTRICITY.

Two French scientists say that a
current of electricity does not always
kill when it appears to do SO. 1t SIM
ply produces an appearance of death,
from which the subject may be re-
stored by artificial respiration. In
commenting on this statement, the
Worcester Gazette suggests that this
may be the case with the criminals
who are executed by electricity in
this state, and that they are really
killed not by electricity, but by the
doctors who afterward make an au-
topsy on them. II seems that rabbits
have been revived after receiving a
shock Of twenty-five hundred volts and
twenty amperes, shock more pbwer-
full than is given in the execution Of
murderers

New York is the easiest of the big

Is the worst. That is because New

the trains have to cross other tracks

New York the trains run straight into
the station without a hitch. In Chi
cago the trains stop at every few rods
and it often takes half an hour to go
five or six miles. Perhaps in the future
there will be separate tracks for pas

AN IMPORTANT RULING
With Regard to the Duty on Wool OF the
Third Glass.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May Am inn
portant ruling as affecting the duties
on wool Is embodied in Instructions ad-
dressed by Acting Secretary Hamlin, OF
the Treasury Department, to the Collec-
tor of Customs at New York to-day.
The Collector is directed to refund to
certain importers the excess OF duty ex-
acted at his port on third class wool,
I'm accordance with the decision
of the Circuit Court Of Appeals
at New York. The merchandise
consisted of white, gray and yellow
washed wool. The white wool was as
sessed at the rate OF 100 per cent. ad-
valorem, and the gray and yellow wools
at the rate of Ga per cent. advalorem,
under the "sorting" clause Of the wool
schedule, and the court decided that
the white wool was dutiable at the rate
only OF so per cent. advalorem, and the
gray and yellow woods at the rate OF 81
per cent. advalorem, the result being
that one half of the duty exacted will
be refunded. These instructions will
be applied generally TO all pending
cases and will form rule for the future
guidance of collectors.

Among the lot were two women, Clara

POLITICS OR NO POLITICS
Is the Question That Now AgitateS the
English Temperance Women.

English Temperance women.
LONDON, May "A correspondent has
had an interview with Lady Biddulph and
Miss Decker, who are leaders or the Brit
ish Womens Temperance Association, IN
regard to the visit to this country Of Mrs.
Ellen A. Foster, the noted American tenn
perauce advocate. Lady Biddulph said
she was not aware Of Mrs. Fosters inten-
tiOn in coming 20 Great Britain, but her
ladyship warmly declared that Mrs. Fos-
ter would not be allowed 70 speak in the
convention OF the British Women's Tenn
perance Association tomorrow should she
make her appearance there. Miss Decker
said that she was likewise ignorant OF the
object of Mrs. Fosters journey. She had
recently received a letter from Mrs. Foster,
written in America. The convention, Miss
Decker added would be private. The chief
question before it would be whether Lady
Somerset would be allowed TO introduce
politics into the work of the association,
and the question would also be considered
whether the association would reafiliate
with the branch headed by Miss Frances
Willard.
Lady Somerset says in an interview re-
garding the attitude OF herself and her
supporters: while abiding Loyalty by
the old programme Of total abstinence we
adopt objects equally vital TO the interests
Of women. The purity question IS one
with temperance, and the suffrage Tor wo-
men is essential 10 the triumph of both.
The enlargement Of the platform will
give the association a political aspect
distasteful to many, but nowadays 1t is the
merest qualification TO stand outside OF
politics. II is true that l have found use
ful precedents in America, but there is no
shame in learning from America. Our
body owes its origin TO the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union. l do not dictate
the change which have referred to; am
only its spokesman. Thousands OF ener-
getic women are determined TO make the
association a fighting body"
