famous hat trimming case, which in
directly involved between $40, DOC, 600
and SIS, 600, 900, and which has been
postponed from time to time for the
past three years, was finally decided
in favor of the government by a jury
in the United States circuit court this
afternoon. The suit was brought as a
test case by Meyer & Dickinson. large
importers Of this city, who sought to
recover from the United States govern
ment a difference Of 60 per cent in
custom duties The firms contention
was that the importations In question
consisted solely Of hat trimmings, on
which the duty under the Mckinley
tariff act was only 20 per cent, but the
federal officials in their argument
maintained that the merchandise was
used chiefly for dresses and dress trim
mings, and that the duty of so per
cent levied by the government was
proper. Meyer & Dickinson we're
noIninalIy the plaintiffs. but there were
hundreds of big importing firms
throughout the country who were in
terested in the outcome of the suit,
and who were instrumental in pro-
curing the best obtainable counsel.

WASHINGTON. April 20.-The Graeco-
Turkish war was discussed in a general way
at the cabinet meeting today. All the mem
bers Of the cabinet were present. Secretary

decided that nothing further would be done
until the occasion seemed to call for it.

The dogs were the chief attractions ali day
yesterday and last night. more than holding
their own with the fair cycliennes as they
left the laps and miles behind them on the
board track in the auditorium. The signal sue
cess of the dog show is a surprise even to
those who have it in charge. Dogs Of al
most every variety and breed known to the
fancy are there in large numbers. As the
benches are now constructed they provide ac
cOmmOdatiOn for nearly zoo CANNES and every
bench was filled last night. In addition to
these, there are now en- route to Minneapolis
on belated trains two more carloads of dogs
from Wisconsin points, and to accommodate
these the benches will have to be enlarged.
These, it is expected viii arrive this morning.

HONoRING;, CONFEDERATE DEAD.
Dedicationle f. ! Monument at Mount
Hone Cemetery. New York.

New York, May 1.-THE Confederate
monument in Mount Hope Cemetery, which
will be dedicated on May 22, in memory Of
the Confederate dead of New York, was
donated by 'eornrade Charles Broadway
Rouss, who, knowing the necessities of the
camp, generously bestowed it. Such a
burial place forthe members of the camp OF
veterans that had been formed in New
York had become necessity, and an effort
was made to obtain one. There was
naturally d scarcity of funds, as there al
ways is In such organizations, but the old
soldiers must soon begin to pass away
rapidly, and many of them were poor and
unable TO purchase there last resting place
1t was suggested that small monument
should he placed upon the spot selected,
and Mr.. Charles Broadway Rouss was APP
preached upon the subject, and asked if he
would assist the camp in building the
monument. He promptly replied that he
would furnish all the money to build it
himself. The Mount Hope Cemetery Com
pauy were DESTROYS of having so beautiful
monument in their cemetery, and Of
fered beautiful site for the burial place,
lift was agreed to place a monument there
at a cost of not less than So 900 All this
has been done and the Confederate Veteran
Camp of New York now own sufficient
ground to bury their deceased members
and their families, and has also on deposit
'mortuary fund" to meet the expenses.
The monument was built by Messrs.
TayntOr Bros, OF this city, and it is but
justice to say TO these gentlemen that the
workmanship is actually perfect, and that
they have Intentionally built a monument
at cost to themselves far in excess Of
the amount Of money that was contracted
for, and for the simple reason that they
desired to contribute something i'll money
TO the work themselves. 1t has been pro-
bounced on every hand fitting memorial.
