Bureau of Highways, which viii probably
occur late in February, and which will be
observed as a big public demonstration
for smoother and more modern pave
ments.
The highway improvement comm ittee
OF the League of American Wheelmen has
taken the initiative and has decided to
call preliminary meeting for February
Ii, to be held at the rooms of the Bay City
Wheel men, at o'clock. In addition to
the committee itself, there will be repre-
sentative of each of the cycling clubs in
this City, representative of the Drivers
Association, representative of each of
the boulevards and a representative OF
each of the improvement clubs.
The object OF the meeting will be to Gre
ate in the various parts of the CITY
through the delegates in attendance q
rousing and concerted public interest, to
be demonstrated on the occasion of the
initial meeting in San Francisco of the
new State Bureau of Highways.
In order to facilitate the preliminary
work and broaden its scope the highway
improvement committee requests that
every interested organization or club send
the name of its secretary to G. Kitchener,
Mills building.
Section 4 of the act OF March 81, 1895,
creating the Bureau OF Highways, says:
One or more members OF the Bureau of High
ways shall visit each county in the State at
least once in each year, and shall hold therein
q public meeting at which there shall be an
open discussion of all matters relating to high
ways or highway improvement
The visit to San Francisco will be of
novel and unusual interest, because it will
practically complete the tour of all the
counties in the State and furnish the
bureau an opportunity to discuss the gen
eral road problem in California.
Already many of the northern counties
have been visited by Manson of Alameda.
one of the three Commissioners, and Maud
and Irvine have been over the bay coun-
ties and down to Santa Cruz.
Commencing tomorrow a meeting will
be held in Ukiah, and soon thereafter
Manson will visit the counties of Lake,
Humboldt, Del Norte and Siskivou. In
the southern part of the State Maud and
Irvine are now engaged In travelling
through Los Angeles, Riverside, Orange,
San Diego, San Bernardino, Tulare, Kern,
Fresno, Kings and MADEIRA Counties.
Henry +. Wynne, chairman of the high
way improvement committee of the L. A.
W., speaking yesterday of the prospective
mass-meeting when the Bureau of High
ways shall visit this City, said:
ut seems generally that wheelmen must
take the initiative in all the road improve
menus tnrouRnOuI tne state. we want TO
hold preliminary meeting to formulate
and discuss plans for booming the big
meeting. OF course, If we are to have the
help OF the bureau we must find out lust
what the sentiment is and what we can do
to cooperate with the commission in OBJ
tanning better thoroughfares.
when the bureau meets in San Fran
cisco it will have completed circuit of
the State, and we want to derive the bene-
tit of its suggestions and observations.

Last evening Policeman George Brown ar
rested a man giving the name of William
Lyons. The prisoner will be detained until he
can give an explanation of his possession of
four croWbars and a natchet. When the officer
eccosted Lyons the latter said that he had
found the tools in the sandhills, but afterward
he acknowledged that he had stolen them.

picture of the Savior's life, and illustrated
how the name of Christ lived imperishable
in the lives of men, in the history OF the
world. The names OF other great men
had come and gone, but Christ's name
went on forever. Alexander, Caesar and
Napoleon were but memory. They in
huenced the history of their time, but
Christ Influenced the history of all time.

ishioners to assist, but are constantly appealed
to by destitute Catholic families who remove
here from other parishes to take advantage of
cheap rents. When compelled by necessity o
seek relief, these people naturally look TO us as
a Catholic society TO assist them, and it is our
duty to do SO.
Thus tar we have always helped every de-
serving family that has applied and in the
distribution OF funds intrusted to our care it is
only after a careful investigation at the home
OF the applicant that any relief is given, and in
this respect We are deeply indebted to Mrs.
Flint and her associates of the Associated
Charities Tor valuable information given US on
doubtful cases.
Now, to continue this charitable work, we
must have your assistance. During the past
year our contributing members have dwindled
away and our monthly receipts now average
only S32 80. Wree it not for donations we
could not have paid our bills for the year

work should amply reward you.

cially for this play. Miss Laura Bert will

great effect by the company with the aid
of the scenic artists.
"a Man Without Country is what has

is new in the way of dialogue.

The wool which was imported from
the United Kingdom was not, of course,
very largely the product of of the Brit
ish Isles. 1t was mostly South Ameri-
can and Australian wool, imported by
way of English ports. and paying trib-
ute, in the way of freight and profits,
TO our English cousins.
American fiockmasters have not only
had their market invaded by increased
importations under the free trade
policy of the Democracy and the Wilson
bill, but they have suffered in the
price of their product. The wool
schedule of the Mckinley law went
into effect Oct. q, 1890, and the New
York prices of the different grades of
wool in that month were; fine 33 cents
per pound, medium 81. and course 81
cents. In October 1895, under the in
fuence of the Wilson tariff law and
increased importations, the prices
were; fine 1917 medium 81 Il, coarse %.
Here is another point. In 1884,
under duty of l2X cents per pound
on wool, there were $500, 900 sheep
on the farms and ranches of this coun-
try. In 1883, under tariff of 10 cents
per pound, the number had fallen to
Al 100000. In 1893, under the McKin-
ley tariff of IL cents per pound they
had increased TO 47,5O0,OOO. On the
first of January 1896. under the free
wool clause of the Wilson tariff, they
had fallen TO 3s,500,00O.
DO the wool growers OF Michigan
want another four years Of the Will
son tariff law, or do they want re-
turn TO the system OF protection for
wool?
The platform on which Bryan and
Sewall are running for President and
vice-president declares against any
change in this tariff. The platform
on which Mckinley and Hobart are
running declares in favor of a return
to the protection system.
Which will you have?

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflammation
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inhamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflaned condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.

FREE WOOL.
DISASTROUS EFFECTS OF THE
WILSON TARIFF ACT ON THE
WOOL INDUSTRY.
Imports Enormously Increased. = Prices
Ruinously Reduced. - Flocks Greatly
Diminished.

The farmers of Michigan and OF the
northern states generally have suffered
in the prices and demand for many OF
their products under the operation OF
the Wilson tariff act. Some of the de-
tails of this injury to their markets
have already been published in this
paper. In nothing has the loss been
more general than in the wool product.
And this feature is deserving of an
article by itself.
There is no other product of field or
pasture that the tariff reformers"
have been SO eager to attack as wool.
One of President Cleveland's earliest
messages TO congress was devoted
largely to an argument in favor of put
ting wool ON the free list. The Mills
bill proposed the same thing, and the
Wilson bill, which is the first tariff
measure the Democrats have been able
to pass, accomplished what had long
been threatened. The reduction on
wool and woolens took effect Jan. /,
1898, although the influence of the
threatened attack upon the industry
had been felt on prices for two years
preceding that. Some of the figures
relating to this industry are interest
ing and significant.
The imports of wool, by classes, for
the calendar year 1894, which was the
last year under the Mckinley tariff,
and for 1895, which was the first under
the Wilson tariff, were, in pounds as
follows:
