Questions and Answers.


In making up the average of tariff duties, are
the articles on the free list included, only
those liable to duty? DYERsBURG
Generally most tables which give the
average rates of duty are divided into
two columns. One of these gives the
average tariff on dutiable imports; the
other the average tariff on all imports,
not dutiable as well as dutiable. If you
were told that the average duties
amounted to certain percentage, it
would be fair to assume that the per-
centage was of dutiable articles only.
Why is St. Bodolph the patron saint of Boston?
CHATAUoUAN.
st. Bodolph is the patron saint of the
English Boston, and not of the New
England Boston. According to tradition
st. Bodolph founded monastery at
Icanhoe in 654, which was destroyed by
the Danes in $40. From this monastery
Bodolph's Town grew up, the name of
which was contracted into Boston. Bos-
Z ton in Massachusetts got it's name be-
cause its first settlers, or many of them,
came from the older Boston or it's neigh
borlood.
How is the marriage ceremony performed
Among the Quakers? Is the ceremony legal
w-lhout license where persons of other de-
nominations are required to obtain license
FAIRFIELD.
The contracting parties, in the pres
ence of witnesses, formally take one an
tier for husband and wife; there may be
remarks by some of the witnesses who
are 'smoved by the Spirit" but not nee
essarily. If license is required of MEM

CURED of Quakers or friends. The Ii
canse is for the marriage, not for the
ceremony Or absence of ceremony.

Measure at New York.
NEW YORK, March 26.-A message was
cabled to Gladstone tonight by the Ma
tional Federation of America, pledging a
most vigorous support of the efforts to
carry through the home rule bill; ex-
pressing the sentiments OF thousands
gathered at the Academy of Music who
indorsed this action, and tens OF thou

There was great gathering this even
ing, presided over by Judge Morgan j.

Messages and letters of sympathy with
the movement for the freedom of Ireland
were read from the Governors of almost
every State in the Union
The principal speech of the evening,
by Congressman Bourke Cochran, was a
masterpiece of patriotic eloquence, and
was cheered to the echo. Major

regarding the efforts of the Federation
to raise money to aid the
consummstion of the measure, and

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
PHILADELPHIA, March 26.-With the
proud distinction of having broken the
records of all preliminary trials, and the
satisfaction of being the fastest armored
vessel in the world, the cruiser New York
returned TO the Cramp shipyard this
morning. Despite the heavy rain and
biting wind, 5000 enthusiastic Philadel-
phians cheered the warship as she backed
out into the stream and stood down the
river on her trial trip. Captain Sargent
acknowledged the salutes with her pow
erful siren whistle, and the mighty
$1,000, ,G00-ship was headed down the Del
aware. Then arose another wild shout,
as the four powerful engines began to vi
brate and the water churned from astern.
The maximum pressure of steam car
ried was l20 pounds. Starting with forty
five revolutions, speed of ten knots was
attained until Greenwich Point was
passed. After this the new vessel warmed
toher work, making ninety-tve revolu-
tons and the speed increased to l7.5
knots, deluging the vessel with cold
spray. The vessel glided through the
water as lightly and noiselessly as a
yacht, however, and there was scarcely a
vibration throughout the ship.
The first trial was from the five-fathom
bank lightship to the northeast end light
ship. The course, distance of 9.SS
nautical miles, was covered in 29 minutes
and 38 seconds. The speed was 20.0S
nautical miles per hour. The second trial,
returning on the same course, was made
in - minutes and 81 seconds, a speed OF
1887 nautical miles. The average of the
two trials was 1895 miles.
The cruiser then headed eastward to
deeper water. On run of four consecu-
tive hours she maintained a speed of 20 IS
knots, reaching as high as 20.57 as the
water deepened. The New York then
steamed up to the shipyard. She will be
ready for her official trial within three
weeks.

1T IS A GOOD INVESTMENT.
George +. Putnam Says Cleanliness is
a Big Factor In a CIty's Growth.
kansas Cvitv Star1

Looking at the matter from purely
business standpoint it is OF vital I'M
portance to a city that it should be kept
Clean" says George F. Putnam. "Our
Western cities have not paid enough at
tention to cleanliness. 1t makes more
difference than we think to a business
man whether the city in which he ex-
poets to locate is clean or dirty. A man.
particularly if he has capital and can afford
to do about as he chooses, likes to know
that the city where he is locating is one in
which he can keep clean and his neigh
bors must keep clean, if any of them hap
pen to be OF that kind that does not in
cline that way.
1T is worth an incalculable amount to
a city to have the reputation of being
clean, because men who want nice homes
and pleasant places for business will seek
such place. The very men we want to
get most are the men who are most
critical of this ubiect and will be most
likely to ask whether or not the city is
clean. For the good OF the city it is of
utmost Importance that it should be kept
clean and that its general appearance
should be such as will attract favorable
notice.
Spend more money cleaning streets
and removing garbage and you make a
good investment. 1t is very clear that
individuals will not attend to the re-
moTal OF garbage and the only way is for
the city To do it. The council ought to
appropriate whatever amount is neces-
sary. don't care how much it is"

Results or the Games Played Yesterday
and Saturday.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 26.-The second
game between the Friscos and Oaklands
drew out an audience of between nine
and ten thousand. The game was hotly
contested from start to finish, much ex-
element prevailing. Oakland's new
pitcher, Gritfiths, pitched for the Colonels,
and proved to be speedy man in his
position. He was not hit hard, but
lucky punching of hits in the ninth in
ming gave the Friscos the game. Oakland
held the lead up to the closing inning,
when two-base hit by Work, with two
runners on bases. changed the complex
ion of the contest. The game was we'll

AT Los ANGELES.
Los ANGELES, March 26.-The second
game of the opening series between the
Stocktons and the Angels resulted in the
former being shut out by score of to 0,
owing to the Inability of the Dukes to hit
Nicol's delivery. On account of the poor
game put up yesterday. there was not as
large crowd as had been expected, but
at least 1900 people witnessed to-day's
game and howled themselves hoarse over
the victory of the home team. Harper,
who pitched for the Dukes, was hit hard
and often, but he was we'll supported,
fourteen flies being gathered in by the
Dukes outfielders. Nicol, the new
pitcher, looks much like Knell, and has
almost the same style of delivery. He is
very speedy, and the fact that seven
Dukes were struck out and only three
hits made speaks volumes for his accu-
racy. The Stocktons on whole played a
much better game than yesterday, and
the consequence was that the game was
much more interesting. Only two of
their number reached third base during
the game, and at no time did they have
the bases full.

rates are effective. The lines which run
special limited trains will run others
equally as good at reduced rates. but per-
haps an hour slower from st. Paul,
Omaha or Kansas City. So far as is
known none of the St. Louis lines will
experiment with high-priced trains.
In addition to these rates others will be
given which will practically give any one
in the West an opportunity of visiting the
fair at one fare or less for the round trip.
Excursions in frst-class trains at these
rates will be run constantly, and coach
excursions at one cent mile each way
will be feature.
All the above rates will apply only as
far west as Missouri. In general, rates
from trans Missouri and transcontinental
territory will be one fare for the round
trip. The round trip rate from California
will be about $50. In general these rates
will be satisfactory in the West, especi-
ally when compared with the high basis
which Eastern roads will attempt to en-
force.

Deaths.
PORTLAND, March 26.-Conrad ].
Smith, bookkeeper for Levy, Spiegl d.
Co., was shot and perhaps fatally wounded
about 7:30 o'clock last night at the corner
of Third and Alder streets by c. A. Cove.
a real estate dealer. Cove then blew his
own brains out. The men were standing
on the corner. indulging in heated con-
versation, when suddenly Cove drew
revolver from his pocket and began fir
ing. When Smith saw Cove reach for
his weapon he started to run. Goves
aim, however, WAS accurate, and he hit
Smith in the back, the ball lodging in the
abdomen. After firing two shots at
Smith he turned the weapon to his own
head and fired. He fell and died in a
short time.
The street was crowded at the time, and
the shooting drew an immense crowd to
the scene. Smith was taken to the hos
pital and Gove's body to the morgue
The deed was premeditated, as large
knife was found on the body of the dead
man. He left a statement accusing Smith
of assaulting his wife several years ago.
Mrs. Cove is well-known teacher in the
public schools of this city, and about ten
years ago she was elected County School
Superintendent. The Supreme Court
held that she was not legible, and her
husband was appointed to the position.
The shooting created profound sensa-
ton, and was the principal topic of con-
versation on the streets.
