TARIFF AMENDMENT

The New York World has summariz-
ed the most important changes ln the
tariff bill as made by the senate fin
ance committee as follows:
|. The absurd retroactive feature
is stricken out.
9. For the sake Of revenue a duty
OF 10 cents pound is imposed on tea
until 1900 and an additional internal
revenue tax Of "A cents barrel on
beer.
3. For the enrichment Of the beef
trust imported hides are to pay duty
OF II cents pound, but as sop IL
the shoe manufacturers all leather
goods made from imported hides are
upon expectation 70 be entitled TO a
rebate. That is to say, only the
American user OF leather is to pay
tribute to the beef trust. The for
cigucr is TO go free.
4. The sugar duties are made
heavier, an ad valorem duty being
added to the specific duties. The dis
elimination in behalf OF the sugar
trust between raw and refined sugars
| is heavily increased.
/ 5. On woolS of the first and second
class the duty is lower than in the orr
ginal Dingley bill. On cheaper woods
it is higher This will give advantage
to the user OF ne woollen goods over
the user Of coarse and cheap fabrics.
1t taxes the poor rather more, the rich
rather less. Under the present Wilson
tariff woods are free, 50 that nobody
pays taxes on the raw materials OF
clothing and blankets.
6. On steel billcts and rails the
rates are much lower than under the
existing tariff. This will probably
produce increased revenue and will
certainly help the transportation sys-
TEN Of the country.
:. The anthracite coal trust is pro-
tected by a duty Of IS cents a ton, and
the duties on lumber and timber will
adequately stimulate the destruction
Of our forests.
s. The tobacco tax is raised to s
cents a pound. This will swell the
revenues.

There is all sorts OF nerve in this
world, but when 1t comes down to
brass tacks, as the fellow said, we like
the nerve Of a certain Iowa editor,
who led of his editorial columns with
the following: persons knowing
themselves indebted to this office are
requested to call and settle. All those
Indebted to this Office and not knowing
it are requested to call and find out.
All those indebted and not wishing
to call are requested to stay in one
place long enough for us to catch
them. All those who are not in
debtcd to us are requested to call and
be indebted"

SENTIMENT IN SCOTT, The young
gentleman from Forest was in his
most soulful mood, and as he gazed
into the liquid depths OF the maiden's
dark eyes he felt that here was one
who could understand and respond to
his innermost feelings.
"Do you not sometimes feel,' he
asked her, "as if you were trying to
grasp something that ever eluded you,
as il you we're, so to speak, reaching
out after the unattainable?"
She raised those dark liquid eyes to
HIS and he read in them depth Of
comprehension even beyond that
which he had hoped for
"Why, yes" she said. 81 always
feel that way when try to scratch
the middle Of my back"

Epictetus, the famous philosopher,
said OF life: 1T is a mere passage
from one world to another and all
here are but travellers at an inn. The
earth is a stage; life is a role, and
men and women merely players. The
part OF each is awarded by God, ac'
cordng to His judgment. And it be-
hooves US to exert our utmost to act
well our role, whether it be long OF
short, the character Of king or OF
bcggar. The charter Of the allot
ment is Gods affair, but the manner
OF performance ours"

THE VALUE OF MISTAKES.


Pittsburg Times.
This would seem to be a contradic-
tion in terms, because mistakes are
errors, and errors are not generally
considered profitable TO bank upon.
Still we cannot help but give some
measure OF Endorsement TO the dictum
OF recent writer, who says: ut Is
certainly pleasant thing to be right,
but it is generally Il more useful
thing to be wrong The man who
never made mistakes is yet to be born
and those who have achieved the most
have been greatly indebted to the er-
rOrS OF themselves and others. The
man who oracularly declares that he
never makes mistakes is good one to
steer clear Of having any close rcla-
tion with, for he is apt to put his foot
into pit while he is loudly maintain
ing that it is impossible for him to
make misstep.
The fact that one makes mistakes
need not necessarily be discouraeing.
/ II the proper lessons are learned from
these errors they will prove but the
stepping stones TO success otherwise
impossible. 1t will not do, however,
when one has made mistake to 60
on heedlessly to other blunders. The
thing to do when you find you have
been wrong Is to ascertain why you
made the error and how a similar one
can be avoided in the future. Don't
be ashamed to acknowledge that you
have been wrong and insist upon
continuing in your erroneous way
simply TO show that you don't care or
to deceive yourself or others. You
will only get deeper in the mlre and
will have to stop whether you will or
no and strike for the proper path, and
the sooner you recognize the true sit
uatiOn the better. The value Of a
mistake consists in the wisdom you
draw from it, and the sooner you ac-
quire this the greater the benefit 1t
will yield.
Valuable discoveries have resulted
from the mistakes Of chemists and 9TH
crs, who have come upon new and USE
full compounds and principles through
an accidental error in their expert
ments or researches, SO that in these
cases mistakes have actually proved OF
great value. The mistakes OF the un-
ion and rebel officers during the early
part Of the war were OF great value to
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and their
able leutenants, who by protiting by
them, were enabled to bring the con.
fict to a successful termination. The
mistakes OF one man are often the
salvation OF another. Wellington and
Blucher won Waterloo because OF the
mistakes of Napoleon and GrOuchy,
and but for the mistakes Of BurgOyne,
Gates would not have had the Sara.
toga triumph.
Don't be cast down too much, there.
fore, il you make mistakes, but be
sure that you turn them to account
when made and make them valuable,
for il you do not, then you are sure to
score a failure. 1t is not so much the
errors you commit as your insistance
on repeating them in spite OF tile
light OF experience they shed that IS
the source CT unnumbered evils and
irretricyable failures.

DOING THE HONORS.

"YOu must be on your good behavior
this evening George, for the minister
is to take dinner with u.s." said a
Hyattsyille lady to her worser half as
he got home from his office ia the city
last Thursday, says the Bristol Cou-
rier.
What have you for dinner" in
quired the husband
Well | know he is fond OF fish, so
| bought quite string Of small river
fish, and several large ones from the
DAM
Half an hour later they were seated
at the table and a blessing had been
asked by the minister. A little ner-
vously the head Of the house began
dishng out the vegetables, and, turn
ing to the guest he said;
"Will you have some OF the little
river fish or would you prefer some Of
the dam big fish,"
The warning kick under the table
from his wife was unnecessary. He
knew he had blundered, and cold
beads Of perspiration started out on
his forehead,
"Oh mean"-trying to repair the
error-"will you have some Of the dam
river fish, or some Of the big fish 2"
Worse and more OF it! His daughter
slyly pulled his coat tail to bring him
to his senses.
THAT is would you like some OF
the river fish or some Of the other dan
fish ?'

Statistics show that the medical
profession is more prone to suicide
than any other. During the last three
years the number OF suicides occurring
among physicians has been respect
lively 45, 40 and AZ per annum, an av-
erage OF nearly | to 1000; or, as the
death rate among physicians is about
% to 1000, nearly Onc-lftcth Of all
the deaths in the profession have
been by suicide. 1t has been sug.
gested that an explanation OF this
tendency may be found in the devel-
opment for morbid fancies in the
mind OF doctor, on account of his
constant association with the sick and
dying, or Of an actual indifference to
death, or because he has the requisite
knowledge Of how to die painleSsly
and conveniently. A medical journal
dssents from all these views, and
holds that the leading factor is the ac-
cessibilty OF the poisonous drugs,
which are almost invariably used.

A meeting Of stockholders Of the Metro
politan Athletic Club was held yesterday
afternoon, at which several matters of
Importance were under consideration.
Some dissatisfaction was manifested con-
corning the conduct of the last contest at
the club house, and the stockholders dis
cussed the idea Of securing Prof. Gordon,
of Washington Pa, to officiate as man
ager and matchmaker for the club. 1t
was decided after a full discussion 10 APP
point Mr.. Philip Maurer to manage the
next contest, and after that to again take
up the matter of securing manager.
The preliminary arrangements have all
been completed, for the contest at catch
weights, between Jack McGouldrick, OF
WATERFOWL, N. Y, and Peter Sheehan. of
Pittsburg. The men will enter the ring
on the night of the Esd inst, weighing
about 140 pounds. A number of prelimi-
naries will also be arranged McGouldr.ck
is in the city and has made many warm
friends. Sheehan is not connected with
Maher, Quinn, Cornelius, ct al, but has
the same regard for that crowd of sports
as has the Wheeling public.

SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A SIMPLE HARMLESS REMEDY
Yet 1t Cures tho Worst Cases of Dyspepsia
and Indigestion.

\ ct H cures tho W0rbt C04e8 OK OyopeP8t8
and Indigestion.
DR.. Jennison, who has made life
study of stomach trouble, says: All
forms of indigestion really amount to
the same thing, that is. failure to
completely digest the food eaten; no
matter whether the trouble is acid
dyspepsia or sour stomach, belching OF
wind, nervous Dyspepsia or loss OF
flesh and appetite; person will not
have any of them if the stomach can
be induced by any natural, harmless
way to thoroughly digest what is eaten.
and this can be done by simple rem>
edy which I have tested in hundreds
Of aggravated cases with complete sue
cess. The remedy is a combination or
fruit and vegetable essences, pure
aseptic pepsin and golden seal put up
in the form Of pleasant tasting tablets
and sold by druggists under the name
of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. One or
two of these tablets should be taken
after meals and allowed to dissolve
in the mouth and mipgling with thu
food in the stomach dissolves it COM
pletely before it has time to ferment,
decay and sour.
On actual experiment one grain or
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
three thousand grains of meat eggs,
and similar wholesome foods.
1t is safe to say if this wholesome
remedy was better known, by people
generally, it would be national bless
ing, as we are a nation of dyspeptics
and nine-tenths of all diseases owe
their origin to imperfect indigestion
and nutrition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a
secret patent medicine, but fifty cent
package will do more real good for
weak stomach than fifty dollars worth
of patent medicines and a person has
the satisfaction of knowing just what
he Is putting into his stomach, which
he does not know when widely adver-
tised patent medicines are used.
All druggists sell Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets, full sized package, fifty cents.

M'GILL TRIAL
For the Stabbing of Policeman Bert
Evans is on in the Circuit Court at
Moundsville--.No Verdict Before To
Morrow.

William McGill, charged with stab
bling Policeman Bert Evans, OF
Moundsville, at that place on the 22d
of last July, is now having his trial
in the above city. Yesterday a great
many witnesses were examined, anG
it will not be before tomorrow that
the jury will get chance to render a
verdict McGill has been out under
bond since the above date, and at this
writing it is hard to say what will be
the outcome of the case.
The defense will try to prove that
McGill did not do the stabbing, al
though when Evans arrested him that
night no other person was seen near
the two men. For some time past
there is said to have been bad blood
between McGill and Evans, and all this
evidence will likely be introduced in
the trial. No important testimony was
heard yesterday, and when McGill was
on the stand he swore he did not do
the stabbing, nor did he see the knife
that the deed was done with. At any
rate, there are a great many strange
things connected with the case, which
will be sifted out during the next day
or two.

ticularly in his rendition of the Wag-

voice, and her solos were rendered in
faultless style, Here we Israeli being
