ington special says: The treasury de-
partment will Immediately appeal to
the United States courts for judicial
Interpretation of the question Of when
the Dingley tariff bill took effect. The
department, acting on the opinion Of
the attorney general, ruled that all
goods taken out of bond or entered any
time Saturday, July "a were subject to
the new duties. The board of general
appraisers, however, in Hn opdnionsby
General Appraiser Somerville, took the
opposite ground, holding that the aot
was not effective until 4 p. m. that day.
Should the opinion of the general ap-
praisers be upheld, the treasury will be
compelled to refund the excess of duties
upon all goods entered before the hour
mentioned.
BY upholding the opinion the courts
will also compel the government to re-
fund the ~ cents rebate on each beer
stamp sold on that day. If the law did
not 60 into effect as to customs duties
until Saturday afternoon it follows that
the internal revenue clause did not be-
come operative until the same hour.
The decision of Judge Somerville, II
upheld, will cost the government At
least $500, 900.

Little Hope in the Yellow Fever Situation
at New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 12.-From the
returns there is little hope in the yell
low fever situation. The board Of
health is daily demonstrating that with
a fair show it is possible for modern
science to restrict and stamp out the
disease. But the people who must suf-
fer from strict application of scientific
methods rebel, the result being that the
pathway Of the board of health is be-
set with difficulties. If there were
strict compliance with the laws If
prompt report were made of cases, the
fever germs would quickly be wiped
out. But it begins to look now as if
from 80 to 40 cases and from to 6
deaths would daily be reported
until Jack Frost puts in an
appearance. The board of health bull
letin is as follows: New cases Of
yellow fever, 80; deaths, 4; total cases
to date, GIG; total deaths to date, IS.

WINNIPEG, Man., Oct. IL Stories of
the awful effects of the late fires still
come in at intervals, the report of many
fatalities which occurred at q distance
having been delayed. The latest tale
of horror comes from st. Anne. Mrs.
Breanin, haif-b1eed woman, and her
six children met their death on the Daw-
son road at the edge of the bush. The
husband and father was away and it is
probable that the poor victims fled
panic-stricken from their home only to
be overtalsen by the destroying element.
Another case is that OF man named
Teneau, a near neighbor of the Brea-
nins, who was burned to death in his
stable while attempting to save his
horses.

The Wonderful Mile Christine
In the annex hall at the Grand Opera
house there Is on exhibition a two
headed maiden who sings like a night
ingale. She is comely to look upon and
endowed with extraordinary talents.
She has visited the principal cities and
towns in all Europe and British isles
and in every land She has been COM
manded to appear before the nobility
and rulers. Before she had landed, up
on her return home, representative
of the New York Herald greeted her,
and the next morning that journal gave
forth to the whole United States the
return of one of its children, who had
fully established herself to be the
greatest curiosity of the greatest coun-
try in the world. Since her return she
has exhibited to thousands in the cities
of Boston, Philadelphia and New York.
While in Philadelphia she again ap-
peared before the professors and stu
dents of the Jefferson Medical college
Professor Pancoast for the second time
examined her and made her the subject
of lecture.
She will be in New Haven but a
short time and this will probably be
the last opportunity our citizens viii
have to see her, as she will probably re-
tire at the close of this season.
Exhibitions are given from 2 to ) and
