Hoar said that while the question Of
trusts could be dealt with to some extent
by striking at their imports, as in the
law Of 1894. yet he feared that the most
serious phases Of the legal meaning Of
the word trust and showed the di1H-
culties in making the sugar trust and
Standard OIL trust amenable to federal
law. He regarded these monopolies as
. menace to the republic. and was hope
full that some means might be found to
check them.
Lindsay said that in the case Of q con-
fessed monopoly. such as the sugar
trust, one effective means Of dealing
with II would be to extend it no further
benefits from tariff legislation. When
the point was reached In q tariff bill
where sugar was to be dealt with, then
It should be 30 shaped as not to be in
the benefit Of the trust. nIE
Hoar replied that the answer to this
was that the policy seemed to be estab-
lished that revenue was to be raised on
refined sugar. and 1t was further desired
that the business Of refining sugar shall
be done in this country rather than
abroad. A great foreign government
was about the biggest trust that could
menace the trade OF the United States,
Hoar asserted. He hoped that some eff
fective remedy would be found instead
oe going on the theory that because a
5ackal or . fox preys on our commerce
1t should be given to q foreign wolf or
lion.
Gallery argued that the sugar trust
was within the operation Of the anti
trust law. and he felt that It was time
the attention Of the attorney general
and the United States district attorneys
was called to the frequent and fragrant
violations Of the law by the sugar trust
The senator declared that the sugar trust
was the most arrogant and inQuisitious
tyust in the world.

cording to those who argued that the

The session Of the house yesterday
lasted only long enough to call the roll
on Dingley's motion to adjourn, Dingley
saying he was not aware OF any matters
claiming the attention OF the house.
Bailey challenged that statement with
the observation that the bankruptcy
bill and the Cuban belligerency
resolution were Enacted upon. A ris-

The practice of plugging defective knots
In pines is "old as the hills" There IL
nota river county but has it's expert plug
gers, who pride themselves on being able
to fix up an old, sickly knot or to bore
the old one ont and insert new one
In such artistic manner as to defy the
detection Of the most experienced inspector.
Years ago, before most Of the largest pines
were cut down, special orders for mast
pieces were frequently received. Good
prices were paid for these, but the exist
ence of hollow or rotten knot made the
piece worthless for the purpose Intended.
1t was here that the expert was called upon,
and so we'll did he do his work in many
cases that neither the inspector nor the re.
inspector discovered his skillful manipula.
ton. The shipbuilder even could only dis
cover the fraud after having commenced
the rounding off process for the purpose OF
placing the spar in position. The rather
disreputable art of plugging pine IL
now dead or dying, but since the demand
for cypress made it profitable to manufac.
ture this wood the ingenious cutter has set
in to "doctor" its characteristic defects, in
many instances SO boldly as to bring down

The practice of doctoring these surfacel

popular. Fortunately, however, when a

painter which The Family Herald relates
One night Whistler dropped into SiI
Henry Irving's rooms to dinner. Other
guests were present, but Whistler alone
was silent. Two Of his landscapes adorned
the walls, and apparently he wanted nc
further entertainment. Every few min
utes he would Jump up from the table tc
got better view Of his own work.
At length, after prolonged examina
tion Of these studies In moonlight and
moorland, he cried out, "Irving, Irving

calmly walking up to the pictures.
"MatterY" thundercd Whistler. "Why
tho matter Is that these pictures have beer
hung upside down, and you have never no
ticcd it. l suppose they have becn like
this for months"
II suppose they have" replied Irving
"But think might DO excused, since 1,
has taken you. the man who painted them
over an hour to discover TINT they are up
