THE TAx ON BEER.

Believed There is No Necessity For An An-
 crease.
 Washington, Jan. 1O-The proposition to increase the tax on beer from $1 to $2 per barrel, introduced by MT. Money of Mississippi and sent to the ways and means committee, has not yet been con sidered
 MT. Wilson, the chairman, believes that no necessity exists for the increase, as the revenues of the government will be greatly augmented within the next few months from the customs receipts on sugar, which is largely imported in the spring, and from the income tax, all of which will be collected by the 30th of June next. There is marked indis- position on the part of the committee to increase the beer tax until the com dition of the treasury makes such in- crease necessity. The ways and means committee will meet tomorrow. There are several measures before 1t, one to abolish the differential duty on sugar from countries paying an export bounty, which is causing German retail iation.

IN THE REICHSTAG.
An Extended Debate on the Anti-Revolu-
 ton Bill.


 ton Bill.
 Berlin, Jan. 1O.-Debate on the anti revolution bill was resumed in the reichstag to-day. Count von Limburg- stirurn, conservative. spoke in support of the bill and vehemently denounced the pretensions of the socialists that they constituted the labor party.
 Herr Munckel, Richter radical next spoke in opposition to the bill.
 General Bronsart von Schellendorf, imperial minister of war, in brief but vigorous speech in which he was fre- ouently interrupted by Herren Singer and Liebknecht, socialists, declared that the discipline of the army was still per feet and the men composing 1t were ready for duty against any force whose enmity to the empire or It's institutions might call their services into requisl- tion. It would be rampant lunacy, he said. for the socialists to attempt to put their theories into practice, but the time would come when their followers would compel the socialist leaders to take dangerous position. The bill was required to obviate the necessity of the army having to put upon the sand hills the misled followers of irresponsible agitators.
 pr. Schoenstedt. minister of justice, refuted the legal objections to the bill raised by Herr Munckel.

 New York, Jan. 1O.--For some time past there has been friction in New England railroad matters regarding differentials. The differences resulted in the withdrawal from the Boston freight committee last year of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road and the New York and New Eng land.
 A conference was held here to.day for the purpose of settling the New England troubles. The traffic manag- CTS of nearly all the trunk lines and of the New England lines were pres- ent. The general sentiment had al strong tendency toward harmony and the outlines of an amicable arrange ment was agreed upon. The task of working out the details was referred to the Boston freight committee, which will probably meet in Boston within a few days.
 Six New England lines originally com- posed the Boston freight committee, viz: New Haven road, New England road, Boston and Albany, Boston and Maine Central Vermont and the Fitch- burg. The arrangement reached to- day is calculated to reunite this com- mittee,

SEIZED HER CHILD AT SCHOOL.
A New Haven Mother Makes a Sensation at
 Phillipsburg-An Adopted Daughter.

A New Haven Mother Makes Sensation at
 Phillipsburg Adopted Daughter.
 Phillipsburg, N. J., Jan. 10.-Mrs. Frederick Anderson of New Haven, Conn.,, went to one of the public schools yesterday afternoon and tried to get the custody by force of Mabel Johnson, the eight-year-old daughter of Mrs. W. E. Provost. She was prevented, but is still in town and has engeged a lawyer to bring habeas corpus proceedings.
 The contest for the custody of Mabel promises to be an interesting one. Mrs. Anderson is the child's mother. She came from England, where Mabel John son was born. Five years ago she married Frederick Anderson, minor. A short time after this marriage she gave Mabel to Mrs. w. E. Provost to bring up, saying that she did not want to be encumbered by her.
 A few months later Mrs. Anderson came to Phillipsburg and took the child away. Mrs. Provost subsequently wrote to Mrs. Anderson telling her that she thought the world of Mabel, and expressed a wish to adopt her.
 Mrs. Anderson made no reply for two months, but finally wrote to Mrs Pro- vost, telling her to come to New Haven and she could have the child forever. Mrs. Provost was greatly pleased and lost no time in going to New Haven. Mabel seemed perfectly willing to go. In fact she appeared to think more of Mrs. Provost at that time than she did of her own mother. Mrs. Provost want ed to have the adoption legal, so she secured written statement from Mrs. Anderson, in which the mother gave the child without conditions, except that she should be educated and cared for. In the statement the mother promised never to claim the child again, or to ask that the child be let in her custody even at stated periods. This agreement was signed at New Haven March 31, 1S91
 Mrs. Anderson arrived in town yester- day afternoon and went immediately to the school house, where she inquired for Mabel Johnson. The girl refused to go with Mrs. Johnson, and when she took hold of her began to cry. Mrs. Johnson started off with the child who was crying and struggling to get away. A citizen stopped Mrs. Johnson, and, as the child persisted that she was being stolen, Mrs. Johnson was com pelled to release her.
 In the meantime the janitor of the school had heard of the matter and took Mabel back to the school room. Later she was sent home. Last evening Mrs. Anderson called on Mrs. Provost and demanded the child, but was order ed from the house. Still undaunted Mrs. Johnson went before Justice Smith but he refused to take any action in the matter. Then she engaged a lawyer, and will fight the case to the end. Mrs. Provost has appealed to Mayor Perdoe for protection. Public sentiment is with Mrs. Provost, who has brought the child up we'll.

THE EVILS OF OVER-EATING.

housewife TO keep down the appetite of her

luly is this necessary III the cases OF we'll
to-do professional and business men. In
the families of mechanics earning low
unnecessary but it may be said of most men
in good circumstances that they eat too
freely Of rice food. If men would begin
careful and systematic physical culture in
early youth and continue the practice
through life, good health would be the re-
suit. Beyond the aye of forty-at a period
when so many are physically lazy-the
superior value of exercise is apparent, but
ordinarily, this is just the time when the
hygiene of athletics is neglected. There is
no reason why punching-bag, rowing

But having done good deal of work in
his time it is allaoSt impossible to persuade
business or professional turning forty to
give any sort of attention to physical cul-
ture if such training has been previously
neglected. Hence ! say it is the duty of IL
woman to keep from her husband all rich
compounds that will ultimately ruin his
digestion. High feeding is occasionally
neuteralizcd by hard exercise; but in
the absence OF the latter it is miscellaneous

stand the treatment, begin by switching OFT
from the heavy breakfast Of steak, hot
rolls potatoes etc, and set before him
eggs on-toast, oatmeal and coffee.
