Philadelphia, April p. = The famous

600, OG0, and which has been postponed
from time to time for the past three
years, was finally decided in favor of
the government by jury in the United
States circuit court.
THE suit was brought as a test case by
Meyer & Dickinson, big importers of this
city, who sought to recover from the
United States government difference Of
50 per cent. in custom duties. The firm 8
contention was that the importations in
question consisted solely of hat trimmings.
on which the duty under the Mckinley tar

that the merchandise was used chiefly for
dresses and dress trimmings, and that the
duty of 80 per cent. levied by the govern
ment was proper. Meyer & Dickinson
were nominally the plaintiffs, but there
were hundreds of big importing firms
throughout the country who were inter
ested in the outcome of the suit and who

meant to pay no attention to the chal-

a time, as he had earned rest and
meant to have it. He added, however.
that he proposed to follow Corbett's
example as dictator of the prize ring,

Important Decision.
affecting

An important decision, affecting
nearly all the saloonkeep ers and brew
er., was rendered by Judge Orr, in the
municipal court of st. Paul. when the
case against August Kroenin, accused
of selling liquor without license, was
dismissed. The case relates to the
transfer of saloon licenses, and as an
nounced by Judge Orr practically pro-
hibits any such transfer and renders
illegal those made under conditions
which obtained in the kroenin case.
The scope of the decision is almost linn
itless, as the process in the case de-
cided is that in general use among the
brewers who obtain licenses for indi-
vidual saloonkeepers, and are repaid
on the installment plan.

mission to provide good roads was
among the measures saved, Another
bill Of Importance which passed rebates
the state royalty on iron ore when the
ore is smelted in the state. The bill
regulating the prices to be charged by
stock yards was killed, as was the bill
increasing the tax on insurance COM
panies from 2 to 8 per cent on their
grose earnings. The bill forbidding
the sale of cottolene was lost. The
session was reprolonged and there was
so much confusion it will take all day
to-day to get the books posted and
find out what really was done last
night. The legislature will remain in
session to-day until the bills are en-
rolled and then finally adjourn.
St Paul. April 2.-Yesterday, the
closing day of the legislative session,
was much like others of its class. The
Legislature, having worked until a.
M. in passing bills the night before,
was little late in assem- bling, and the
mem bers came in with a weary air.
Resolutions could be passed, but no
bills, and the only business was to kill
get the bills enrolled which passed dur
ing the night. as they must be signed
by the lieutenant governor and speak
err, and those functlonaries cannot sign
after the session ends.
There were the usual resolutions of
thanks to officers and employees and
also the usual ones giving a little extra
pay here and little there to some en-
ploye. These usually pass the last
day. but yesterday was an exception
and nearly all were killed. Speaker
Jones was presented with large pho
tographic group of the house, which
he accepted with cordial thanks. The
governor reported that he had nothing
further to say and both houses adj
iourned sine die before 1 p. N.

stItutional amendment was not stolen

EFFECT OF THE WAR.
Dun & Co. Tell How IL Influences

New York, April 24.-R. G. Dun d

American markets were much more Eighty

Wheat rose six cents from Thursday to

The State Fair.

The premium list of the state fair
has been revised with generous hand,
and the offers made are more liberal
and comprehensive than any hereto
fore announced by the society. The
large amounts offered for horses in
other years are repeated, with addi-
tional classes and prizes for harness
and saddle horses. Additional classes
have been opened for cattle, increasing
the competition among breeders, and
the general interest in the department
The usual large offers are made for
sheep, swine and poultry, with some
additions. The amount offered for
creamery butter has been increased
frym sl40 to $3.50, while other liberal
offers of year ago in the dairy depart
ment are repeated. Premiums for farm
and orchard products are also largely
increased, thus giving new impetus to
the exhibition of dairy. agricultural
and horticultural products. The ma
chinery. honey, forestry and mineral
exhibits will each be in greater prom
inence than in other years. The
woman's department viii be made I'M
usually attractive, and the main build

profusion of miscellaneous exhibits.
The sum of 81. 200 is offered for county

NOT n REWARD OF MERIT.

Perhaps this town isn't as wildly ex-
cited over the new politics and the new
despotism as it was when they first be-
gan to rise and shine, but it is perhaps
more deeply stirred then ever. 1t is
wondering over what has happened and
wondering what will happen next. And
it Is especially wondering what, emer-
gency Of politics or despotism made
necessary the decapitation of George E.
Ives, who has been acting superintend-
emit Of streets. Mr.. Ives has been
most faithful and efficient public SER
want. He has been at his work early
and late. He has been uniformly cour-
teous and discreet, and has treated
everybody fairly. His industry, his
good judgment and his fidelity to the
public interest deserved a better reward
than they have received. It will proba-
bly, do no good to ask questions about
his case, but they will certainly be ask
ed. One Of the questions will be, What
kind Of politics or despotism is it that
demands such amazing work?

line advantage. She who cannot buy
rig just for a few days or weeks Of this
sport need not despair of making
good appearance on the ice either out
doors or in the rink. A simple street
dress will not be far from suitable; the
one pictured herewith would certainly
do nicely. 1t was Russian green dag
onal, the waist opening over vest of
placK velvet with collar to match. HUI
Ear finish came from braiding that ex-
tended from fronts to epaulettes, thus
ADDING to the wearer's apparent width
and making the dress especially suita-
BILE for slender figure. The woman
who looks forward to pleasant exercise
on the ice, and who cannot have a rig
made for the purpose, is wise to bear
the coming sport in mind when plan
ming her next street dress, and here's
good model for her consideration.
Another way is to work it into next
springs wheel suit. Make it OF rich
green corduroy, with norfolk Jacket of
absolute fit. Adjustable collarette and
cuffs of fur, which can be worn with
another dress, will add the needed win
try touch. The plain skirt will be just
a little longer than you would plan a
skirt for wheeling only, and perhaps
shade shorter than you might prefer
skating skirt. A cap of fur, or one of
those adorable little skating hoods with
a muff, will make a stunningly pretty
skating costume. Boomers are as de-
sirable for skating as for wheel use
The costume may not be inexpensive,
but when you consider that it will
serve Won two SEASONS for tho ubaaJ
and at least one for skating, that the
norfolk jacket can be worn with
walking costume that the fur access
series will be Of service upon many
other occasions, then the costume will
appear to be an economy rather than
an extravaganza. FTORETTE

EXCLU SfYE,

1t Is admitted that the Order of the
Twenty-Five is more exclusive than
anything that has been organized UP to
date and that anybody who can get
into 1T is entitled to feel as big as the
order is small. Those who know thew
can't get into it are casting about for
some way of consoling themselves and
making even the members Of the Order
of the Twenty-Five envious. One of
the ambitious ones has been studying
the pension business and he suggests
that a rather exclusive society can be
formed by those who don't draw pen
sions.
