has been to the relief society, but
could not obtain help. He gives the
name of Martin We have two re-
ports about him, and wish that he
might be detained until we could in

to a woman who has in her possess

ladies that she Is using as references.
but they know nothing at all about
her, and she is now informing the pub

with third.
For the third race at the drop of the

was never headed, though half way
down the stretch Dicky Norfolk
started in dead earnest for first money
and landed in second place one length

Louisiana Democrats Scared Without

BY special wire to Sunday Light.
Washington, ID. c., Dec. 1.-THE lat
est report is that Robert $. Williams,
who was formerly employed as inter-
nal revenue agent at New Orleans in
the ring sugar bounty days will be
made collector of customs at New Or
leans. How this report will strike
Captain Wimberly or Chairman Her
wig no one can tell, but it is pretty
safe to assume that they will not like
it. Captain Williams is a very good
friend of Captain Wimberly, and is
said to stand well with internal reven-
lie officials. He is from Ohio, which
is nothing against him in particular,
judged from the plums that the sons
from that state have already plucked
from the tree of federal patronage
He is now on duty at Philadelphia,
where he is said to hold q very re-
sponsible position. The report could
not be traced to any one in particular.
but it was by no means news to some
officials in the internal revenue de-
partment. One of the officials of that
department who was seen today cor
roborated the rumor, but was unable
to say where it had originated. The
treasury officials, on the other hand
cOntradicted the report, point blank,
and alleged that there was absolutely
nothing in it. An official of the
treasury department, who stands close
to Secretary Gage, dubbed it as a
ely by night" story without the
slightest foundation and flattened it
out pretty effectually by saying that
there was no change in the resolution
OF the powers that be to send in
Captain Wimberly's name for the
place. The political situation in so
far as it affects the Louisiana an
pointments is distressingly dull at
present. The return of the president
is anXiously awaited, when. it is ex-
pected, a big batch of appointments
will be sent to the Senate for confir-
nation. There are about 500 fourth
class post office appointments in
Louisiana, awaiting disposition, but as
big as this may seem it is nothing
to the vacancies of a like character
which have yet to be filled in Texas.
The trouble there between the ma
tional committeeman and the chair
man of the state central committee
has resulted in holding up all the ap-
polntments among which are embrac-.
ed 500 postoffice appointments.

VIII Be Eventually Self Sustaining
BY The Ides of '9S.
BY Special wire to Sunday Light.
Washington, d. c., Dec. 1S1.-Assist-
ant Secretary Howell, of the treasury
department, bewails the fact that the
Dingley bill has failed to yield
the revenue which its projectors an
ticipated, and attributes this failure
to heavy anticipatory importations of
sugar, from which it would seem that
the government expects to get much
of IT'S revenue. In a chat today he
remarked that the stock of sugar on
hand had exceeded the estimate of
government experts, for it had been
generally expected that the stock by
this time would have been complete
ly exhausted. 1t is a fact. however.
that importations last month at the
port of New York had only yielded
S1,0OO,OOO in revenue to the govern
ment has been in n measure disap-
pointing for the governments calcu-
lations Were that importations at that
port during the season would not be
less than S5,000,O00. He thinks that
importations will pick up during the
hrst month of the calender year, and
expressed himself as satisfied the bill
would begin to be self sustaining
about February or March,

PIANOS AND MUSICAL INSTRU-
MENTS

Our recent notice to piano buyers, in
the different newspapers, has done
some good among unfOrtunateS who
bought shOddy consignment pianos, and
among those who intended buying the
same class. Ridiculous promises, the
demanding of notes on time sales, and
chasing cheap shOddy" pianos, as first
class, are now ventilated, so that buy
ers deserve no sympathy, if they get
caught by 'smOOth-talking' agents.
Manufacturers of reliable pianos, of
recognized high standard, have no
trouble to sell their products TO light
mate dealers. They do not open agen-
cies in big and little towns, nor scat
