ANOTHER TARIFF BLUNDER
No Provision Made in the New BIN for
Fruits Preserved in Spirits


Fruits Preserved in Spirits
WASHINGTON, Sept. al Examina-
ton of the tariff law at the treasury
department discloses the fact that it
contains no provision whatever for
duty upon imported fruits, preserve ed
in brandy or other spirits The omis-
sion was not discovered until an APP
plication was received from a large
importer of such goods for informa-
ton as to their qualification
under the present tariff law
Under the Mckinley law fruits
preserved in spirits" were subject to
a duty Of IS per cent advalOrem. The
question as to the classification of
these goods under present conditions
has not yet been de termined. 1t is
probable, however. that the derart-
ment will decide the best way out of
the dilemma is to assess duty on the
spirits and the fruits subsequently ac-
cOrding to the rate provided for each
in the tariff act The preserving of
fruit in this manner is an extensive
industry and the iInportations of such
fruits, especially branded peaches, is
very heavy. In case the de partment
decides to assess duty on the spirits
as well on the fruits, the duty will
be higher than it was under the old

INTRODUCING A LECTURER.
An English Custom which Might lie bet.
tar IIonnrsd In tho nr..oa

An English Cuhtom which Might lie Bet
tor Honored In the Breach.
One of those English customs which
would be more honOred In the breach
than in the observance Is that of pre-
senting a lecturer to the audience by a
chairman. This unnecessary presiding
officer, having read up on the subject,
rises to say few words of introduce
tion,' and sometimes anticipates some
of the lecturers best points
In an English village loquacious
squire and a garrulous rector both in
troduced lecturer, and their few
words' occupied nearly all the time
which had been allotted to the lee
ture. The lecturer, however, was
equal to the occasion. lie spoke about
twenty minutes, and then, looking at
his watch, said;
Ladies and gentlemen, must now
leave that may catch my train, but /
will ask your permission before de-
part to suggest for your consideration
an occurrence which took place on
board a small American vessel.
''Ihe captain, the mate, and u pas
senger dined together.,A roly-poly pud-
ding was placed on the table, and the
captain said to the passenger:
"'stranger, do you like endsP'
"'No.'
"'Oh. don't yer? Me and my mate
does; and the captain cut the pudding
in two, giving one end TO the mate and
appropriating the other" The audi
ence saw the point, and heartily ap-
plauded.
An Englishman, temperance lec-
turer, was invited to speak on total alb
stinenco. Being nobody in particular,
he was placed last on the list of speak.
ers The chairman also introduced sew
eral speakers whose names were not on
the list and tho audience were tired
