WOOL IN BOND.


BecrstaEy Carlisle Explains the Tariff BIN
to n Philadelphia.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-James w.
bakersfield of Miller & bakersfield,
importers and dealers in wool in Phil
adelphia. had an interview with Sec
-etary Carlisle regarding the con-
struction to be placed on the new tar
III bill as to goods in bond The par
ticular question which Mr.. Tatters-
Geld desired to have settled was
whether wool now in bond could be
withdrawn without payment of duty
when the tariff act placing it on the
free list became a law. Mr.. Carlisle
explained the wording of the enacting
clause of the new tariff bill was such
that there could be but one cons true
ton placed upon it, and that was that
all wool while in bond to avoid the
payment of duty, would have to be
exported and again imported. A
statement prepared at the bureau Of
statistics shows that on July 1, 1894,
there were approximately SO, s99, 321
pounds of wool in bond, valued at
81. SIS, 622.

PECULIAR TARIFF ERROR.
Anthracite May Come In Free Of Duty
but Cannot BE UnlOaded.

Anthracite May Come fn Free OF Duty
but Cannot BE UnlOaded.
WASHINGTON, Aug. "A. - Another
blunder has been discovered in the
tariff bill which is almost sure to
cause trouble. In the free list of the
Mckinley act appear these two para
graphs:
1886. Coa1-Anthracite."
1887. Coa1-Stores of American
vessels: but none shall be unloaded."
The new bill, however. unites these
paragraphs in section AL, of the free
list, which now reads:
'Coal-Anthracite and coal stores
Of American vessels, but none shall
be un1oaded-"
OF course, according to the punctu-
alton, the prohibition contained in
the last clause applies to all that pre-
cedes it in the paragraph, included
anthracite coal, which was intending
to be made free. AS the paragraph
now stands, anthracite coal cannot be
unloaded.

YOUNG AMERICA WINS.

Great was the excitement at the va
cant lot back Of the opera house, that
was, yesterday, when an association
game Of football was played between a
team from Uppertown called the AS
torians against a team called the Young
Americas. Master Charles Wright acted
as referee, and was kept busy enforcing
rules, etc. Master ~Schonakeau captained
the Astorians, and Master Prescott
Wright the Young Americas, the score
being, at the call of time, Q to 6 in favor
of Young America. Quite a number OF
spectators were sorry when time was
called, as the game was full of interest
from start to finish. At .one time the
referee called out the game as even,
when one of the contestants yelled, "No
it isn't, it's five to FIVE" The captains
say another game will be played in a
day or two, and it will no doubt be
well patronized.

WHEN 70


The very fact that only a few mer-
chants are wise enough to advertise in
dull seasons, makes 1t all the more
profitable for those who do. You are
these when others are not. II gives you
greater prominence. 1t will make your
advertising in busy times much more
effective.
Common sense has a great deal to do
with advertising. Think about 1t from
a common-sense standpoint. 1t may take
some nerve" to pay out money for
newspaper space when the business isn't
paying expenses, but it will pay.
More than half the business houses in
the country would be ahead If they
could shut up for three months in the
summer. But they don't dc/it. Why?
Simply because they can't afford to.
People would forget them.
Same way with advertising. Think

CAN BE BUILT IN SIX YEARS.

Lieut.. Menocal, of the navy, tells the
house committee on m that the
Nicaragua canal can be built in six
years, at a cost not much exceeding
$50, 900, 900, and that contractors stand
ready to undertake to do the work for
this price. Several years ago he gave a
higher estimate of cost. This revised es-
innate is based on additional study of
the conditions. The whole tenor of his
testimony is favorable to the prompt
undertaking OF this great work, which
the government, in view of its vast i'm
portance to u commerce and to the
security Of our national power, ought to
foster and aid as may be needful to
make It's accomplishment certain.-New
