PROTECTION FOR THE HENS
The New Tariff Law Will Take Care
of Them.
The Republicans Propose to Redeem
Their Pledges to the Farmers
by Increased Duties.

New York, Feb. A Herald special from
Washington says: The Republican leaders
propose to fulfill their campaign pledges
to the farmers OF the country by general
increase in the tariff rates on all agricul-
tural products. Willie the Republican mem
bers Of the Ways and Means Committee
have not yet formally drafted the agricul-
tural schedule OF their new tariff bill, they
have practically agreed upon most OF the
items
With the exception ofcattle, nearly every
farm product in the schedule will be re-
turned to practically the Mckinley rates
The duty on cattle, which is 20 per cent
aG vaioreHl, under the present law, and
which was s per head on cattle more than
one year old and 81 per head on cattle
one year ole or under, in tile Mckinley act,
will be somewhat less than under the Nc
Kinley act, but will be high enough to keep
out most OF the Mexican cattle, which under
the present law are brought into the United
states to be- fattened in Kansas and neigh
boring States before being sent to market.
The hens along the border are also to have
return 10 the Mckinley protection OF 8
cents per dozen on the eggs laid by the hens
OF CanaGa. Butter ana cheese makers 0f
New York are also to have the duties on
those products increased from cents per
pound to cents, and the raisers OF vege-
tables, whose principal competition comes
from the early vegetables grown in the Rer-
muda Islands. are to have a substantial re-
turn to Mckinley protection.

AN ANOTOMICAL FREAK.
Harry Fitzgerald Puzzled Medical
students and Professors,

Harry $. Fitzgerald, an an atomiCal freak,
is stoppingi in the city for few days, and
last night exhibited the pecularties of his
muscular structure to hundred or more
students OF tie medical department OF Co
lumbar University. His contortions sur
prised the students and Dean Shute as well
who acknowledged his inability TO explain
many of tie startling muscular phenomena.
Tie division Of his biccps was so perfect
that the bone could be plainly felt between
tile masses Of muscle which marked the
fleshy formation Of the upper arms. A dislo-
cation OF the hip IS one OF the most serious
occurrences that confront the skill OF the
surgeon, yet Mr.. Fitzgerald in rapid sue
cesSion slipped both of the joints from their
sockets sc completely that Prof. Shute, who
was inclined to be skeptical of Fitzgerald S
abilities, was compelled to acknowledge
that to all appearances he had effected
complete dislocdtion. A double disloca-
ton OF the shoulder blades he executed
with equal facility. until by a backward
movement OF tie shoulders the great, bulg-
ing blades touched over the rubber man S
spinal column.
Mr.. Fitzgerald next performed a stimuli
taneous dilocation Of hip, knee and ankle
A series OF muscular hysterias. coupled with
grewsOme snappngs, and the work was
done Fitzgerald's knee was not only dis
located, but bent so that the contortionist
could scratch his shoulder with the tip OF
hs great toe.
This evening Mr. Fitzgerald will repeat
his exhibition before the students of the
National Medical College.

HUNGER AMONG THE POOR
The Contributions to the Relief
Fund Are Few and Far Between.
The Police Look to the Concert TO-
morrow Afternoon to Provide
Much-Seeded Funds.

The reports at the several headquarters
to the effect that contributions TO the
relief fund have been limited in the last
three days, but no cases of extreme desti-
titutiOn are neglected.
Secretary Wilson, OF the ASS Ociated
Charities, informed The Times that the
organization has number Of families on
its list, which requires continuous aid.
These include the sick, several families
having Giphtheria TO contend with, and
others having cases of pneumonia The
secretary said arrangements for con
tinuing the work for the remainder OF the
winter are in contemplation.
THE fact thatth weather has moderated
does not alter the situation, materially
said Mr. Wilson. There is still hunger TO
be provided for. Our funds are not ex-
hausted, but whether we have money or
not We turn no person away who is shown
to be in actual want"
Mr. Wilson was unable TO say Just how
much money is now available, some of the
monthly bills not having been received.
but he stated that the amount in hand vas
small
The Central Union Mission gave aid TO
but twenty-five families yesterday, and
their supplies are limited; but, like the As

Easy to Start a Fire.

The ease with which "A fire may be started
and the apparently iuexplicable causes
which may produce one are both empha-
sized by happening in an uptown house
last week. The mistress of the house was
seated in the extension parlor in the
afternoon, alone and perfectly quiet,
when, without warning, a hanging book
shelf broke from its fastenings and slipped
to the floor on its way it struck small
table standing beneath it and knocked over
a box OF matches, igniting two or three
of them. These flew off, one touching the
light gauge scarf which had hung from
the table, which fell blazing against
the lace curtain near by. The frightened
screams of the mistress brought servant,
and it took energetic measures on the part
OF the two women to extinguish the rapidly
spreading fire. Had the room been I'M
tenanted, as it had been all the morning.
and would have been again fifteen min
utes later, it would have been a case OF
fire-depaItment succor to have saved the
house.
