RATES ON DUTCH SUGAR.
CounterNailing Duty to Be Imposed
as Upon Other Countries.

Assistant secretary Howell Of the Treas
ury Department yesterday afternoon maze
public the decision ordered by himself ami
Secretary Gage In the question OF i'm.
posing a countervailing duty on sugars
imported from the Netherlands. This cOun
tervaiiiug duty will be imposed just as IL
is in tie case of Germany, France, Austria
and other Countries where o'Ir export bounEy
on sugaI Is paid. The Netherlands and
Belgium governments protested against the
counter, ailing duty on the ground that no
export bounty was paid. The Treasury has
made a careful Investigation however, and
finds that an export bounty is paid. The
Government appropriates lump sum every
year, divided according to the production.
Last yeaI it amounted to 2 l g florins per
100 kilos, or 81 per 22O Pounds. Where
the sugaI is not exported, but enters into
consume tion, tax OF % florins per 100
kilograms is assessed The collectors will,
therefore. be instructed to continue collect,
ing the countcrrailing duty in accordance
with the Instructions OF September 22 last
on the basis of 81 for every 22O pounds, Al
though fiLai liquidation will be withheld
pending the receipt Of more accurate in
formation by the department.

A GOOD PRACTICE.

II You Want Good Appetite and
Perfect Digestion.
After each meal dissolve one or two of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in the mouth
and, min Cling with the food, the constitute
perfect digestive, absolutely safe for the
most sensitive stomach.
They digest the food before it has time
to ferment, this preventing the formation
of gas and keeping the blood pure and free
from the poisonous products of fermented,
half digested food.
Seuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the com
plexion clear by keeping the blood pure.
They increa ase flesh by digesting flesh
forming foods.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
remedy designed especially for the cure Of
stomach trouble and nothing else.
One disease, one remedy. The successful
physician of today is the specialist, the
successful medicine is the medicine pre-
pared especially for one disease.
A whole package taken at one time would
not hurt you, but would simply be w ,ste
of good material.
Over six thousand men and women in 4 he
State of Michigan alone have been cured #
indigestion and dyspepsia by the use of
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

1t Is easy to tell by settiug aside your

diseased kidneys and all forms Of bladder

Swamp-ROot give new life and activity to
the kidneys--the cause of trouble, but by
treating the kidneys it acts as a tonic for
the entire constitution. If you need a
medicine you should have the best. Sold

which c. r. Haas, of Topeka, has invented
and which he calls his "kite machine" s
made of caIvas. The broad plane which

while tie machine is in the air. This is
DIVIDED ih the center by another plane,
which rises perpendicularly from the large

twelve feet in measurements. This fur

The canvas is stretched tightly over a
light frame of spruce. The cord which
Haas manipulated while experimen+ ing
with his invention is attached to but one
point of the machine, where the two p,a.ies
join.

from which he wind comes, but when the

rises almost perpendicularly, and holds
a position nearly over the head of the one

The lifting power of the machine in the

200 pounds. This draft is about fonr

Richmond, Va, Dec. 3.-The City Union
of Kings Daughters met last night and

as an organization a movement to urge

hibiting the pla ying of football in Virginia
There was a large attendance ami the dis

1t was argued that the injuries and
deaths resulting from the rough manner
in which football is played are of frequent
occurrence and that the sport itself is
brutal. Whatever football enthusia sts
may say" said one lady, I'VE know that a
football team is the only one that alwa Us

The sentiment against the sport was not
unanimous, as shown by the fact that

BICYCLES ARE A NECESSITY
So Held to Be by a New York
Police Justice.
A Decision which. II Sustained, Pre-
vents Wheelmen From Bein.: de-
prived of Their Machines.

New York, Dec. 3.-''A bicycle is not
a luxury; 1t Is "a necessity"
So ruled learned Police Magistrate Deuel.
yesterday and his decision is Of great inn
portance to everyone who rides the wheel
II a bicycle Is really a necessity to the in IN
who rides 1t, aud IL he has paid for it. no
one can take II away from him by any
process of law any more than he can take
away the only bed he has or his onl y pair. T
shoes.
This interesting decision was made in the
case Of Charles o. H. Smith, a hotel man
ager, who has been living at the Hotel
Cadillac, Fort third street and Br al
way. His wife, who keeps a boarding
house at Nc. "a West Forty-ninth street,
caused his arrest because, she declared,
he has not contributed to her support since
they separated four years ago.
Fortunately such a charge is rarely made
against 4 IIian who rides a wheel and so
develops his calves and all his good qualities.
1t seems that Smith is a wheeman OF fore
sight. For knowing the dangers OF heal
ers and heels, he had his life insured and
made his wife the beneficiary. She de-
clared yesterday that he urged her to sur
render all claim to the insurance for $50.
But she refused, probably because he rides
wheel.
Smith appeared in the YorSville police
court wearing bicycle clothes. He said
in excuse for not giving money to his wife
that he is employed at summer hotels only
seven months out of the year, and that he
earns enough to provide himself with the
necessities OF life and no more.
But you have bicycle" triumphaatly
exclaimed Mrs. Smiths lawyer. ''If you're
SO po,r as you say how can you afford to
have Il bicycle? It's luxury
"A bicycle is not luxury, it is a
necessity said Magistrate Deuel., almost
soemnly, for he must have recognized the
gravity and importance OF his utterance.
