The Wisdom OF Wives.

A mans wife often knows more
than he does about q great many
things, and while he need not lower
himself in her estimation by admit
ting her mental superiority, he
may silently recognize her superior
intelligence and profit by it. A
wise man is not too ready to adopt
his wife's opinions, but pretends
to have much wisdom Of his
own, even though he knows that he
has none. While it lessons q wife's
respect for her husband to know
that he is her inferior in anything,
it certainly does not increase her
affection TO have him intimate that
she does not know anything at oil.
Feminine judgment about the spend
ing OF money is often better than
that of the average man, especially
IN the case of domestic expenditures.
IL takes a shrewd salesman to out
wit the average sensible woman,
while stale goods are easily worked
off on The average man, and the
most conceited man might as well
acknowledge frankly that his wife
can attend To household matters
better than he can. Indeed w0-
men often have acute perceptions
regarding business affairs. Many q
business man owes his success to
the keen judgment OF a partner
whose name does not appear in the
firm, and that partner is his wife
in whom he is wise enough to con-
ide.-Adapted from The Lady.

RUDE REFUSAL |

BY tho Moorish Government to Recognize
PORTUGUESE and United states.Repre-
sentative.
TANGIER, Feb. 24.-senhor Rizzo, the
new Portuguese consul, appointed to
represent that country at Fez, and who
also claims authority to represent the
United States in consular capacity,
has presented his credentials to the
Moorish government at Fez. The
Moorish authorities rudely refused to
recognize him and declined to grant
him residence in the capitol on the
ground that foreign agents were only
allowed to reside at the Moorish ports.
1t is pointed out that France and Great
Britain have an agency at Fez Atten-
tion is called to the presence at tho
sultan's court of three military missions
accredited by tho French, Italian aud
Spanish governments, and connected
with their respective legations at
Tangier. These establishments arc paid
for by the Moorish government and
cost the sultan about G2,400 year.
These missions are in fact small intel
ligence departments on affairs Moorish
for their respective governments and
are Of considerable value, especially in
the case OF France.

Boston, Feb. 24.-The $4,000 repre-
senting Corbett's stake in his match
with Mitchell was posted this morning
in the shape OF certified check by
William A. Brady, Corbett's manager,
with Dave Blanchard, who has been
agreed upon as final stakeholder. All
thatwill now be necessary to complete
the match is the putting up of $4,000
by Mitchell. Mr.. Brady arrived this
morning. When asked about signing
articles, Mr.. Brady said: II can't say
anything about that"
"When Mitchell's money is up tho
match is made. We have got TO keep
very quiet about this affair, Us you
know about the trouble given us by the
police in New York"
"Will you go to Niagara Falls to sign
articlesP"
"No, nor to any other place. AS !

not do that. The stakes will remain at

A RADIoAh CHANGE

In the Seating Arrangements OF tho House
Proposed by Ex-speakcr Reed and
Others.
WASHINGTON, D. G.. Feb. 24,-speaker
Crisp has in his private drawer in the
rules committee room number OF
plans outlining on paper suggested
changes in the appearauce'of the hall OF
representatives. The birth Of these
plans is due to the necessity OF provid-
ing some means for the accommodation
Of the % additional members OF the
house, who, under the apportionment
of the last Congress, will be entitled to
seats in the Fifty-third Congress.
Ex-Speaker Reed and BourKe Cochran,
OF New York, are the trainers OF the
most radical OF all the plans. They are
believers in the system OF seating men,
bers on benches as is done in the Eng
lish parliament, and OF removing the
desks now in the house. Under their
plan tho hall Of the house would be not
more than half its present size and in
the space thus left would be provided
reception rooms. Committee rooms and
writing rooms, where members when
tho debates grew prosy could retire and
attend to their correspondence. The
new arrangement would be great bene-
fit to the weak voiced members, who
find that they cannot make themselves
heard in the immense hall wherein
they new sit, and arc therefore in de-
bate at disadvantage with some lusty
lunged representative.
Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Cochran believe
that the change would give life to our
debates and make the proceedings moro
interesting than they are now. 1t ia
open to one decided objection, which
its authors concede, and that is it is not
beloved il compelled to sit on benches
in small room whore neither smoking
nor general conversation could be in
dulged in, members would attend regu'
larly in sufficient numbers to make O
quorum. The plan which, however, is
likely to be adopted for the next Con-
gress at least Is simpler than any of the
others. 1t proposes to remove the raj
back of the rear row OF members, desks
desks sufficiently to permit twelve new
seats to be placed in row on each side
of the house. The change would give
seats to all the members.

It's Production on tho Whisky
Trust Investigation.


Trust Investigation.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. 24.-Lewis
Abraham, a Washington lawyer, to-day
testified before the committee investi-
eating the whisky trust that the adul-
teration and sale of imitation goods was
on the increase. This business caused
n large loss to the government. The
imitation goods paid an internal reye-
nue. tax OF about 90 cents gallon. The
importer paid about 81 50a gallon. The
output OF these limitations decreased
the importation and the government
lost the difference between the internal
revenue and tho import duty. The
production OF rye and bourbon was
greatly decreased last year.
Rye decreased l,0O4,949 gallons and
bourbon 1868 gallons. The increase
in spurious goods increased accordingly.
Deputy commissioner Of internal rev.
enue Wilson took tho stand and was ex-
amined in relation to the internal
revenue laws. lie spoke OF the privi-
leges OF rectiflers and said that the
present laws did not require thom 10
report the amounts OF essences, essen.
tial oils, etc, used in compounding and
mixing. He could not say II they could
be compelled to do 80 under the law.
He hardly thought it practicable to do
so, as tho quantities OF these essences
and oils used was go small. 1t would
require this information to be collected
from some $4,000 rcctifiers and greatly
increase the work OF the internal rev.
onue bureau.
MIR. Bynpm asked ii witness could
suggest son change in tho law TO pro.
toCt consumers against compounded
goods.
Mr.. Wilson replied that tho law could
bo 80 changed rs 10 require all such
goods to bo stRmped, A stamp could be
placed on each bottle TO show whether
or not II was compounded. IIo thought
that this plan would work Gs the manu.
iacturors OF pure goods would watch for
and report violations Of 1t. Importers
were watchful and reported promptly
all limitations OF imported goods they
found. This made compoundcrs care
ful. The committee adjourned till TO
mOrrnW
