lowed by a social. This was also thor
oughly enjoyed by all present. Mrs.

90, were present, which added much to
the pleasure of the occasion.
As the Woman's Relief Corps took a
retrospective glance of the work of the
past year, 1t, as in all other organiza-
tons, found the cloud and the sun
shine, but the relief rendered during
the year has been equal to any in the
past and shows what harmony and en-
ergy can do. In lending the helping
hand the Corps gratefully acknowledge
the cheerful cooperation of its friends
who have responded so kindly when
solicited; and also extends it's thanks to
citizens who have patronizeo the sup
pers and entertainments. 1t also So

Jim" Davis Will Have Nothing to Do
With Deacon Dodge.

Mr.. Davis was seen this morning
and stated that in his opinion Dea-
con" Dodge certainly had the better of
the newspaper controversy, for the SIM
pie reason that he (Davis) ought never
to have wasted his time on Dodge as
the latter cannot fight anyhow. Davis
considered Dodge the easiest kind of a
mark. Dodge made number of mis-
statements in his article, but Davis de-
cllnes to answer him. In future Davis
says he will treat Dodge with cor lempt
and will ignore him. Continuing Da-

fight in Simmons Hall, Kenosha, with

afternoon he left his brother; saying he
would return home in short time He
did not return that night but no atten

thought he had gone home. Monday
G. A. Mowry became alarmed over his
brothers absence and went on a search
for him. Almost every hospital in the
city was visited. but no trace of the
missing man could be found. Yester-
day G.. A. Mowry went home, and, as
nothing had been heard of his brother

Tho Horoscope.

anu AOpO0cOpes
In the loftiest tower in the CITY of
Vienna there is a novel instrument,
known as the toposcope, constantly at
tended day and night, for the purpose of
locating fires. It consists Of a good tele-
scope, which is solidly attached to an
arrangement of levers, while graduated
sections of q circle are arranged horizon
tally and vertically in such way that
the moving of the telescope sideways or
up or down results in a change of posi-.
ton of the hands attached to the levers
in reference to the graduated scales.
Thus. the stability of the apparatus be-
ing assured by the firmness Of the fas.
tening, whenever the telescope is focus
ed upon the same object the hands will
point to the same figures ON the hori-
zontal and on the vertical sextant, and
since an index of the whole city has
been made it is but matter Of few
seconds, when a glare is discovered at
night, to direct upon the spot the topo-
scope on the side, to read off the num-
bers, to look up the object and to tele.
graph to the central station the details
observed. Local conditions are, of
course, necessary for the successful oper.
alton Of such an apparatus, but in this
case they are said to be almost perfect.
The tower is over 500 feet high, and an
uninterrupted view of the great area Of
the city is thus possible to the watch
man if the atmospheric conditions arc
favorable.

THAT DISCRIMINATING SECTION.
IL VIII Very Likely Come Before tn
Courts for Review.

Washington, Nov. 23-It is not i'm
probable that the questions involved in
discriminating section % Of the new tar.
III act will be brought to the courts for
final determination. Information has
reached the treasury department that
during the tendency of the questions be-
fore the attorney general the collectors
at number of ports assessed the 10 per
cent. discriminating duty on transit
goods from Canada under consular seal,
as well as upon goods produced in Can
ada. One of these invoices, it is under
stood, was for a considerable quantity
of chinaware which arrived at Sault Ste
Marie, Mich, from Dresden, under con.
su.ar seal.
An appeal in this case. Il is said. has
already been taken to the board of gen.
eral appraisers at New York. This
board. under the law. is not bound by
the opinions Of the attorney general OF
those OF the secretary Of the treasury,
the courts alone having authority to re-
view its findings In case of a decision
by the board assessing the discriminating
duty. II is almost certain that the i'm
porters VIII take an appeal. but should
they fail to do so. il Is not unlikely that
the government will take such action.

Probably the most wretched of the
Competitors crew is Ona Melton, the
newspaper correspondent, whose inten-
ton in going to Cuba was not to par
ticipate in the war, but to report the
true situation in that country. In de-
scribing his capture and subsequent
treatment Melton said that when the
! first shot was fired by the Spanish gun
boat he and two OF his companions low
cred a small boat and tried to escape.
They were pursued and captured a
short distance from the shore. On board
the gunboat they were cruelty bound
| with ropes and were prodded with
sharp-pointed sticks which punctured
their flesh. They were afterwards
thrown into q cell and fed but once a
day.
! After the first six days the prisoners
were permitted to see Consul Williams
and were fed twice day, but just the
| sort of food it was Melton is still una
ble to say. 1t barely supported life, that
eas all. After the respite Melton said
he and his companions were placed in a
large cell containing forty prisoners, both
political and criminal, in the Cabanas
fortress, and there he remained in
trembling and fear. Last Thursday aft
ernoon he was taken out of the
dungeon. as he supposed to be shot, but
in the corridor he met Consul General
Lee. who to Melton's surprise informed
him that all Of the Competitor prisoners
had been pardoned. Then he and his
comrades were placed on board the
Saratoga, which brought them here.
When arrested Melton weighed 165
pounds. but now he could not pull down
the scales at 100 pounds. He will re-
main here for about a week and will
then return to his hbme.

with Great Britain says that Pauncefote

tion a condition precedent to favorable
action by this government on a general

matter was arbitrated according to
agreement. but the senate Of the United

bury and Sir Julian found themselves
discredited and charged with having
been outwitted by the shirt-sleeved dip
iomats at Washington In having given
something for nothing"
IL is stated from an authoritative
source that no recent negotiations have
occurred between Secretary Sherman
and Sir Julian Pauncefote. the British
Ambassador. concerning a new arbitra-
ton treaty between the United States
and Great Britain: that TO exchange Of
notes has occurred between Sherman

SIR Julian has no; spoken Of the matter
since he returned to Washington some

statements were called out by detailed
reports recently published. one OF them
being sent from Washington to a London
newspaper. to the effect that regotia-

emascuiated version Of the former o.
