HER TALE OF WOE HAD a GOOD EfFECf.
James Holt, near Branchville, Ind. while
intoxicated, went home last Saturday night
and kicked the stove over, burning dowa
the little one-room log shanty which shell
tered his family, after first backening his
wife's eyes and otherwise disfguring her
face. The next day Mrs. Holt appeared at
the little church where. the family occasion
ally worshipped. and requested permission
to address the congregation, and then shefol:
lowed with a pathetic talk on the evils OF
strong drink, making many illusions to her
own battered features in proof of what she
was saying. In the audience was "Bud"
Robertson, the only whisky dealer In the
township. After she had concluded, Mr..
Robertson approached Mrs Holt and ten
dered $40 toward re-establishing her In
home, and he vowed that he would never
again sell another drop. That evening he
emptied the contents OF his several casks on
the ground, despite the pleadings OF dozen
thirsty friends, TO whom he refused drink.

Take hence the bowl, though smiling

The balmy drop beguiling
Too often ends in tear5,
Take hence those brimming glasses,
They have no charm for me,
Their boasted Joy soon passes
To end in sorrows sea-
Take hence the bright decanter,
Which some unwisely drain;
I've known the gay enchanter
To wlther heart and brain;
To scatter woes wherever
'Tis welcomed and caress'd;
Then touch it. taste it, never,

Lest you may weep hereafter
With sick ahd saddened soul,
And curse the bliss you covet
Mid youthful mirth and glee;

If happy days you'd see.

Counting silver Dollars.

The count of money in the vaults of the
United States Treasury is still in pro-
gress. and will not be finished for several
weeks. The unusually long time occu-
pied in the count is due to the cautious
ness Of Treasurer Roberts. In all pre-.
vious counts the money has been weighed
"a bags, there being 1000 silver dollars in
each bag. Two tests would be applied
TO these bags, depending on whether the
dollars were new or had been used. A
bag of 1 600 new and unused dollars
weighs about tlfty-eight pounds and fif-
teen ounces. A bag Of badly used dollars
weighs about fifty eight pounds and nine
Or ten ounces, difference of Sc or 81.
Counting this way the count did not take
So long, but Treasurer Roberts has insist
ed that in one of the vaults in which old
silver dollars are stored each dollar shall
be counted. This is now being done, and
the tinkle of silver dollars is heard for
many feet throughout the Treasury.
Twenty -onegyoung women have. been as
signed to this count. In the vault which
held the new silver dollars the count was
made in the regular way, and the gold in
the vaults will be counted by weight.

DUTIES ON CANADIAN FIs H.
The General Appraisers Asked to Deter
mine What Constitutes an American
Fishery.

A number of fishing companies which
declare they are working with American
capital only are in the habit of taking
fish in the Canadian waters in the great
chain of lakes, and bringing the fish into
United States ports for purposes of COM
merce. Some of the Federal collectors of
customs have been requiring such COM
panies to pay duty of one-fourth Of one
cent pound on fish thus caught in
Canadian waters, chiefly on the ground
that the fish are taken by persons not cit
liens of the United States.
A protest from the Buffalo Fish Com
pany against the imposition Of this duty
was sent to the United States General Ap-
praisers, and yesterday there was hear
ing in the matter before General Apprais-
ers Lunt and Sharretts. George Clinton
of Buffalo appeared as counsel for the
Buffalo Fish Company, and there were
also representatives of the Lake Ontario
Fish Company of Cape Vincent, N. Y,
the Ainsworth g. Carney Company of
Sault Ste. Marie, and two or three other
fishing companies. 1.-THE point at issue, -
explained one of the importers, lis what
does actually constitute an American
fishery Between two and three million
pounds of fish designed for the United
States markets are taken in Canadian
waters every year.
The new tariff law provides that among
the imported commodities which shall
be admitted free of duty are Fish,
fresh, frozen, or packed in ice. caught in
the great lakes, or other fresh waters, by
citizens of the United States. The Gus
toms officers maintain that fish caught
by Canadians, even If they are in the en-
pIoy of American companies, cannot be
classified as having been caught by citi-
zens of the United States. The customs
officers say that when an American vessel
sails from a United States port, catches a
quantity of fish i'll Canadian waters, and
brings them back to this country they
are properly admitted free of duty. But
in the case of fish taken in Canadian
waters by Canadians with Canadian ap-
pliances, the fact that the Canadians are
employed by citizens of the United States
does not entitle the fish to admission free
of duty.
The importers insist that under the law
1t is the American company that takes
the fish, and the nationality of the labor
ers should not be considered. Considera-
BILE testimony was taken yesterday re-.
garding the methods of catching, collect
ing and shipping the fish..that are taken in
the great lakes. The General Appraisers
reserved their decision.-New York

Coast
A few days ago the pastor of the Bethel
of this city returned from a trip to the
eastward where he had been visiting the
people. He reports an unusual need of as
sistance, on account of conditions beyond
the power of the people to change. The
xtreme wet and cool season has spoiled
the crops, especially the potato, which Is
prime item of living along the coast,
and the same condition of wet has
hindered the drying of fish, and the fish
ing was never poorer There will be much
suffering the coming winter 1t is hoped
that the kind hearted will make generous
donations of spare clothing, bedding, etc.
Such gifts may be sent to Mr.. South
