 Poem," care of Fred. c. Will
 Hams, Io8 Fulton St., New York.
 No MSS. will be returned. The award will be made by three literary people and announced before October 1st, and the poems published in leading papers. The following figures or metaphors
 on the Union of Boiling water with In- dla and Ceylon Tea, must be included in the poem.
 IA Teaspoonful of Ceylon and In dia Tea is like maiden's heart, pure
 and unsullied. 2.-The boiling water represents the
 man. The warmth of his love extracts and sets free the strength and sweet ness of the maiden's heart and thus as silimates all her goodness and purity.
 The water must be boiling (carry on the metaphor) or the true essence is not extracted.
 3.-The Teapot is the altar where the marriage ceremony is performed; in other words, five minutes infusion or ceremony make the two into one life. 1.-The liquid tea is the married life, free from bitterness, wholesome, re- freshing and two in one goes forth do- ing good to all; soothing, comforting and invigorating.
 5.-Sugar and cream are like riches and luxury. To many, life is incom- plete without them though some think l that they spoil its fragrance. 6.-All other teas being soiled by the touch of many unclean hands (here metaphor), can only make unhappy
 unions resulting in nerve disturbance | and repu1sion.

THE TARIFF BILL.
IL Will Probably He Reported Friday
Saturday.

The ways and means committee were to
have met at 10 o'clock this morning to pro-
ceed with the consideration of the tariff
bill. The minority were so positive, how
ever. on their insistence upon more time In
which to examine the measure before being
required TO propose their amendments that
The majority yielded. The intention of the
majority was to complete their explanation
of the measure this morning and to allow
the minority to offer amendments at meet
il SIS this afternoon and tomorrow morning
so that their work could be completed and
the bill be reported TO the House tomorrow
The postponement of the meeting this
morning Interrupts this plan, and the ex-
Pectation Is that the bill will be reported
or Friday or Saturday. and be taken UP for
cor sideration on SATURDAY..
The democrats of the committee on ways
al d means are to meet tonight to agree
Upon line of action, and to consider a
minority report on the bill.
Ths proposition to enact the wool sched-
ule of the new tariff bill as emergency
measure TO check the heavy anticipatory
importations of wool and wooden goods is
being considered by the republican men,
bers of the ways and means committee.
II this policy is decided upon the schedule
viii be introduced as an Independent meas
ure. passed by the House after short
debate, and sent to the Senate. with the
hope that it will be quickly passed by that
house. In the form proposed 1t would
be in effect from the date of it's enactment
until the tariff bill itself became operative.
This policy is proposed to protect the rev.
enue of the government. If Congress
has the tariff bill Under consideration for
two or three months it is possible that
enough importa tions will have been made
in the meantime to deprive the govern
rnent of revenues from wool for a year or
more after the new bin goes into effect.
This emergency bill plan is being discussed
by the republican leaders in both houses.
