 Washington. July 31sLT'he comparison of the present taliff law with the Wilson act authorized by congress has been com pleted. It was made by Charles H. Ev- ans, who has been engaged in the prep araition of all the tariff bills with which congress has dealt since 1872. The com parison is made in rates expressly named expressed in ad valorem terms between the presetn law and uhe Wilson law. The statement places the average duty rate under the new law at 54.66 ad va loren, as against an average of 40.10 un- der -he Wilson law. the average being figured upon the basis of values in 1886. The schedules show the following iIl- creases in percentages: Chemicals, from 2S53 to 3067 wools and woolens, 47.e2 to S654 sillS7, from 56.96 to 53 fl; earthet- ware aUi glassware, 35 to 52.47; metals, 3S11 uo 1924; sugar. 40.4S to 42.16; tobacco, 109.06 to 121 90; agricultural products. 22.44 to 3S.42; spirits, etc., 61.54 70 6S.S3; cottorf manufactures, 42.75 to 52.33. SD
 Some eff the decreases expected i'm rev. enue are as follows:
 Chemicals, from $5,619 239 ito $S, ,423, ,0S4; earthenware and glassware, from $S,006, S39 to SIP, 3O3, ,14S mahals, from $13 196, ,416 to $17. .4S7, ,4S2; woods, from $605,749 to 2,43s,- 5S6; sugar from $29,91O7OS to $54, ,217 SAP; agricultural products from $7,272, ,614 ito $14. .5S7 500.
 These estimates are based upon the suposbtfom uhat the value and volume of imports will remain the same.

FUCKER THE CAUSE OF TT

Atlanta, Ga, July 31.-At a meeting of the republican executive, committee, of Pickens county, he'd at Jasper today, resolutions wene adopted denouncing the partiality of the present administration for Ilsgro republicans and declaring that the white members of the party in tn Ninth congressional district would not stand and be discriminat5d against dn favor of the negroes. The meeting was heated and sensational. and the pa. sage of resolutions denouncing the admiedS.ra- ton outright was only narrowly averted. The Ninth district contains the bulk of the white republicans in Georgia, and thsir indignation has been aroused by the appointment of Henry Rucker as collec- tor of internal revenue. '7sz6 1stt-

And Denounce the Action of Sheriff Low
 ry-Some Hope Held Out

Pittsburg, Pa. July 31.-A number of coal operators who ccngregated at the Monongahela house during the day ex- pressed themselves very forciblys over the strike situation. They were all in favor of the strike and hoped the strikers would win. They were all strong in de- runciation of Sheriff Lowry issuing the proclamation ordering the miners al the New York and Cleveland mines to re- turn to their homes
 Robert Blythe, the coal operator. said: "I am more in sympathy with the min CTS in this struggle than I have in any strike they have organized. l. hope they will win. The proclamation of the kher if was an outrage and I do not believe he can force the miners to leave the ground they are now occupying with the per- mission of the owners. I do not think he has a right to interfere" ta.s4
 James F. Shields. who operates the big Osceola mine, is contributing to the strikers daily and, says he will continue to do so until the strike is4at an end. He denounces the action of the sheriff and says the mineTS should permit themselves t. be arrested and fill the jail, making the expenses so great on the countysthat the tax payers would interfere and com pei the shriff to withdraw his proela- nation. .sf,

Eats Dirt by the Bu.heI.

A remarkable instance of officiating
came to light at Maysville, Ca, a day
or two ago. Liza Wellington, negro
woman about sc years of age, entered
a doctors Office and called for "medi-
cine to make her quit eating dirt" The
physician asked a few questions, and
found that the woman was in the hab-
it, eating a washbaisinful of dirt daily.
The woman declared that the dirt gave
her more satisfaction than first-class
meal ut the hotel, and that she had
taken so much dirt from the back OF
chimney of Mr.. Brazelton's farm and
used it as an article of diet that the
chimney was in danger of falling. The
doctor says that the woman's health

The modern Don Quixote is F. Allen

To win the pretty 16-year-old daugh-
ter Of an Arkansas cattle raiser he is
making tour of the world in suit of
armor. He is accompanied by two dogs

never leave his side except when he is

raiser's plan to prove of what sort Of

McQuary, says the Chicago Tribune,
was editor of the Neosho (Mo.) Hustler
in 1896. Last spring he sold out and
went south. He arrived in Mountain
Grove, Ark, and promptly fell in love
with the daughter of the cattle man.
He proposed, was accepted, and pro-
ceeded to lay the matter before the old
gentleman, when the latter called n
halt.
He had no objection to the young man,
he said, but wished to try his fidelity,
and in order to get his permission to the

dressed in suit of armor and accom-
panied by two large dogs belonging to
his romantic father-in-law. He was to

Decoys Do Not Always Work Success
fully.
Despite the success with which de-
coys are sometimes used by skllful
hunters, birds, in the wild state at least,
are not easily deceived, says an ex-
change. Their sense of hearing is Pc
culiarly acute, and their instinct en-
ables them instantly to detect the
slightest variation in the song of one
of their own knd-as is laughably
illustrated in the following true story:
A bird catcher, wishing to increase
his stock of bullfnches, took out his
lined twigs1. e., twigs covered with
strongly adhesive preparation, by
alighting on which the poor birds were
caught like flies on sticky fy-paper-
and arranged them in what he consid-
cred a promising place. For a decoy
he took along tame bullfnch in a
cage. Now it happened that this bird
was, for "a bullfnch, highly educated
overeducated, in fact. At first the de-
coy uttered few natural notes, and
its cry attracted several of its kindred,
who posted themselves at little dis
tanoe, watching the bird in the cage
with much curiosity. Presently they
began to approach, hopping, inch by
inch, toward the fatal twigs. But just
at this critical moment the trained bull
finch, carried away by the excitement
of so interesting an occasion, began to
pipe the old country dance known as
Nancy Dawson" and away few all
the intended victims as fast as their
wings could carry them.

no apparent reason why she should not
have arisen the next morning. But she
concluded that she would remain where
she was and her relatives concluded
that it would be best to humor her
within. So she stayed in bed and her
meals were taken to her. The bed she
occupied was in a room upstairs and for
two years she stayed there. Then she
was removed to a room on a lower floor,
where she could watch the front gate
and the yard. She had series of mir
rors arranged so that she could see the
entrance to the house and the entire
yard, and she was thus able to know
what was going on. Her hearing be-
came abnormally acute and she could
hear noises that were inaudible to other
residents of the house.
Her mother and father died and she
still remained in bed. She became owner
of the small estate, and she managed II
with skill and judgment, but she adj
hered to her determination of remain
ing in bed. She died last week at the
age of n. The doctors who held the
autopsy said that her lungs and heart
were sound and that had she lived the
usual life she would have been good for
ten or fifteen years longer. She ate
usual meals all of the 40 years, took no
medicine and there was no apparent
change in her constitution until few
months before her death.

Salt Affects the Nerves.


To so great an extent is salt used
that many persons do not relish food
that has not salty taste that more or
less hides the real flavor which is often
very delicate. The system requires but
small amount of salt. Its excessive
use tends to paralyze the nerves of taste
or so pervert them that no food can
be enjoyed which does not contain an
excessive amount. In addition there Is
a direct tax upon the skin and kidneys
in removing it from the blood. Many
cases of kidney disease and derange-
