HOW THE CLUBS STAND.
TARIFF COMPARISON.

The Wilson Bill was Forty per Cenl
and the Dingley Bill is Fifty Four.
Washington, July 31.-The comparisoa
of the present tariff law with the VVilsop
Act authorized by Congress has beef
completed. 1t was made by Charles tn
Evans, who has been engaged in the
preparation of all the tariff bills with
which Congress had dealt since 1872.
The comparison is made in rates ex-
prssed in ad valorem terms between the
present law and the Wilson law. The
statement places the average duty rate
under the Wilson law, the average being
valorem as against an average of 40.1p
under the Wilson lw, the averages being
figured upon the basis Of values in 1896.
The schedules show the following in-
creases in percentages: Chemicals, from
1888 to 3O.67; Woods and woolens, 47.62
to 1854; silks from 1896 to 53.41; earth
enware and glass ware 35 to 52.47; met
ais 3S.11 to 1924; sugar 40.94 to 74.16;
tobacco 109.06 to 121.90; agriculture
products, 22.44 to 3S.42; spirits, etc,
61 "a to 6S.S3; cotton manufa ctures 1875
to 52.33. Some of the increases expect
ed in revenue are as follows: Chemicals
from $5,619, ,239 to $S,423,0S earthen-
ware and glassware from $S,0O6 S39 tp
$12, ,302, 14S; metals, from $13, 1876, ,416 tE
$17 ,487, ,482; woods from $605, 749 to sci.
4S9, $50; sugar from $29,910,703 to $54l-
207, ,642; agricultural products from $7I'
727. .614 to 1853, ,601.
These estimates are based upon thf
|supposftion that the value and volume
( imports will remain the same.

CURTAIL PRODUCTION
AN OBJECT LESSON IN THE
BENEFITS OF A PROTEC-
TIVE TARIFF.
OPERATIVES VOTED FOR PROSPERITY
They Are Getting Submerged Fin the Wave Of
Prosperity That Flows in the Wake
OF the Dingley Bill.

Boston, July 31.-The voluntary cur
tailment in production which is being
made by the cotton mills of Fall River in
cludes the mills of nine corporations,
representing about $4,000 spindles and
$1,000 operatives. Many of the mills in
the movement began curtailing to-day,
Ialthough several shut down a week ago.
The Fall River Iron Works Company
mills have been stopped for three weeks
and will not start up for at least another
week.
The Sycamore has also curtailed pro-
duction and will continue the movement
The Weetamoe, Wamponoag, Stafford,
Robeson, Richard Borden, Merchants
and Chace mills will stop to-day for at
least one week and the Stafford will not
start for two weeks.
Managers Of these mills are united in
the opinion that curtailment is the best
remedy for present ills. and are very
hopeful of beneficial results. Such OF
the mills as are not well stocked with
cotton may be forced to this action. The
mills which will be stopped next week
represent about one-thir of the total
number Of spindles Of the city and it is
probable that before the arrival OF the
new crop Of cotton relieves the situat ton
much larger proportion Of the total
will have been shut down for one or
more weeks.
The Stevens mill, which manufactures
marseilles quilts, has been closed this
week and will probably continue for three
more. The curtailment at this factory
does not affect the print cloth market.
Ten cotton mills of the Hamilton cor
poration at Amesbury shut down tonight
for one week.
At Lowell the Belsedere woolen mills
will suspend operaf'.r for two weeks. it
being the annual vacation and the Law
renee Manufacturing Company, will
close for three weeks.
The Goddard Cotton Mills OF Provi-
dence operating 1000 looms, with 5000
spindles and employing five thousand
people, commenced a shut down to-day
for the week beginning August 8. This
will be the second time within a month
that this cotton plant has been obliged to
curtail production.
The cotton mills Of the York Mandfac-
turing Company at Saco, Maine, empoly-
ing 1,500 people have closed for FIVE
weeks. The shut down is due to the un-
satisfactory condition Of the cotton mar
ket.
| The Saco Water Power Company,
manufacturers of mill machinery and
supplies, announced to-day that it will
run on two-thirds time beginning Mon
day, Augusta The company employs
over 300 hands.

Discussion of American Politics Across tie
Waters--Is Secretary Sherman
to Retire.

Berlin, July 31.-Emperor William
reached Kiel on board the Imperial
yacht Hohenzollern yesterday. On
Thursday next he will start for st.
Petersburg to visit the Gear. The
municipal authorities Of st. Petersburg
will signalize the visit by presenting to
their majesties slices of bread on silver
dish and salt in a silver salt-seller, both
richly ornamented in the Russian style
and engraved with the joint arms of
st. Petersburg and Germany. Upon the
rim of the dish is the following inscrip-
ton:
''To Their Majesties. the Emperor and
Empress of Germany"
The grand autumn military manOeu-
vres at Hamburg will begin on Septem-
ber 2nd, and will continue to the 10th.
The Prince of Wales will be among the
guests of the Kaiser at he principal re-
views.
The rumOrs rife in London concerning
the possible retirement Of Secretary
Sherman are echoed here, even in Of
fetal German and American circles but
with this difference, that Mr.. Sherman
is to be succeeded, not by Mr.. White
law Reid, but by Ambassador White.
Gossip even goes so far as to attribute
Mr.. Whites hesitation to leave the
Kaiserhof hotel for permanent quarters
to the possibility of his having soon to
return to Washington.
The comments of the German press
upon the Dingley tariff are extremely
acrid, but great satisfaction is expressed
at the fact that large quantities of Ger
man goods were sent to the United
States in anticipation Of the event.
While wishing to revenge themselves
upon the Americans, the most chauven-
istic journals are not blind to the fact
that reprisals on the part of Germany
would surely prove boomerangs.

shark Carries Message Five Year.


While strolling along the shore Of the
Delaware Bay, near Fishing Greek, n.
j., five years ago, Miss Beulah Bate and
three young women companions wrote
their names and addresses on four slips
of paper, sealed them In as many bot
ties. and cast them far out into the bay.
For days and weeks they watched and
waited for tidings of the bottles, but
none came, and they had almost forgot
ten the incident.
A day or two ago Miss Bate received
long letter from the captain OF an
English man-of-war, stating that while
coasting along the coast of England
one of the seamen fell overheard and
narrowly escaped being devoured by a
huge shark. After hauling the man
aboard, the sailors secured the shark,
and found In It's stomach the bottle
containing Miss Bates message. Miss
Bate is now student at the State
Normal school In Trenton, and has be-
come quite a heroine among the more

that the wizards of the scalpel may
save their lives. Joseph Davenne, a
Frenchman, was In such condition
when he allowed the doctors to clean
his heart. He had long been a sufferer
from fatty degeneration Of that organ.
He knew he could not live much longer
when he took the chance the scientists
proposed. They cut Joseph's ribs apart,
showing the lungs, with all their fine,
shining membranes. These were thrust
aside and four swiftly moving hands
were busily engaged In scraping the
fat from the sides of the heart. The
entire process covered only few mo-
ments. But 1t was enough. The man
was dead. The surgeons engaged sent
a full account of the affair to a medical
journal. The law did not hold them to
account because Davenne had left a
paper stating that the experiment was
tried at his own request.

I'm His Church.
Because the members of his church
were negligent in attending Sunday
service and still more so In contribut-
ing to the support of himself and the
church, Rev. Maurice Pentield Fixes,
pastor of the First Baptist Church ut
Trenton, N. j., decided to try an inno-
walton to attract people to hear him
preach and their nickels and dimes
from their unwilling pockets. He In
troduced pretty girls as ushers and Is
more than pleased with the results Of
the first experiment. Mr.. Fixes had
the sagacity to make announcement Of
the fact that the young women would
show young folks to their seats and
take up the collection. He was careful,
too, to pick out six of the prettiest girls
in his flock, SO the church had more
young men in its pews than had ever
before been seen there. Every seat In
the church was filed long before SER
vices were begun, and 1t was necessary
to get chairs in the aisles. AS ushers
the girls were a grand success, but
their best services was given when the
time came to take up the collection.
The innovation doesn't meet with the

ON The GRAND BANKS.
How and Cod and Hnlibut Are Taken
by the Small Vessels.

nav and Cod and Hn1ibut Are Taken
by the Small Vessels.
Gustay Kobbe writes an article en-
titled ION the Grand Banks ana Else
where" for st. Nicholas. Mr.. kobbe
says:
The trawlers are generally found on
the Grand Banks, the hand-liners on
the Western Bank and Quiro. Inese
hand-liners are smaller vessels with
fewer dories, and the men fish with
hand lines, one man and two lines TO
a dory. The hand-liner sits In the
middle OF his dory, with compart-
ment in It's stern, another IN It's bow,
| for his catch. When you see the bow
sticking far up In the air, you know
the fisherman has his stern-load. Then,
as fish after fish flashes into the other
compartment, the bow settles, ana
| when the dory Is on an even keel the
hand liner pulls back to the vessel.
The trawlers bait with fresh her
ring, mackerel, and squid; the hand
liners with salt clans. The catch or
both Is split and sailed, and the vessel
has n full fare" or catch, when she
has wet her SALT that Is, used up all
her salt-and is full of fish traw-
ler's voyage lasts about eight weeks; n
hand liners, eleven.
A trawler's crew receives no wages,
but fishes on shares. First, the cap
tain gets a percentage; of the remain
der one half goes to the vessel, which
"tinds," that Is. supplies the gear,
stores, salt, and half the bait; and the
other half to the captain and crew III
equal shares, which run from S1lO to
$3.50, and even to $3.50.
But among the handliners each man
Is paid according to what he catches,
the fare from each dory being
weighed as 1t is taken aboard. This
stimulates competition. There Is
judgment in knowing where to fish. or
how long to stay over certain spot;
md even the quickness with which a
line is hauled in will make a percepti-
| bic difference at the end of a days fish
ing. 1t means something to be high
line" rs they call the best fisherman,
at the end Of a voyage, and those who
win this distinction time and again, rs
some do, become known as killers
and big fishermen
| The main catch on the Banks Is cod
| and halibut There Is also a fleet of
small American vessels which pursues
the merry swordhsh. SwoFdtishing is
good sport whaling on a small scale.
| A man, dart In hand, stands in the
vessels bow, supported by a semi-cir-
cular iron brace. When near enough
to the fish, he let's fly the dart. A
swordfish may weigh 800 pounds. One
can tow a dory a mile, and piece OF
the sword has been found driven
through the bottom of pilot boat.
