The PunNsutawney Spirit tells of an
old gentleman in Jefferson county, Pa,
who had worn the judicial ermine of an
associate judge for ten years. One day
nc was asked by an old acquaintance
if he had ever been consulted by the
court while on the bench. "Never but
once" said the judge. "Only once in
ten years." exclaimed the friend. "It
must have been a very important case"
"Oh, no." replied the eX-associate, at

THE D1NGLEY WOOL SCHEDULE

The decision of the House Committee
on Ways and Means to restore the Me-
Kinley duty on wool bids fair to restore
prosperity to the she p-raising industry,
even if some Of the wool growers are
dissatisfied with that arrangement.
The Mckinley law gave Il remarkable
stimulus to wool growing The numbsr
of sneep in the United States increased
from about fOrty-twO millions in 1883 to
more than fOrty-seven millions in 1888,
and the average price of sheep rose from
50 l3 in the former year to S2,6G in the
latter. The clip OF American wool rose
from 265,OOO,OO0 pounds in 1850 to 303, ISL
055 pounds in 1898, and the value of the
clip advanced from $90,6i0, ,369 to Sl259o9,-
26i in the same time, Not only that,
but the Mckinley law excluded shoddy
from the American market almost en-
tirely. The imports in 1889 amounted
to S,47S,9S4 pounds and We're valued at
$3,339, ,4sO. By 1894, under the Mckinley
law, the imports of shoddy had fallen to
104,sS5 pounds, valued at only S36S7l
These are few of the things which
the Mckinley law did for the sheep.
raising industry. The terrible effects Of
the Democratic tariff law upon the in
dustry are too well known to need repe-
tition here. 1t is sufficient to say that
the proposed restoration of the wool
schedule OF the Mckinley law will bring
prosperity to a large number Of Amsri-
can citizens who have been driven peril
ously close to bankruptcy by the inlam-
GUS Wilson law Every wool grower in
the United States ought to be satisfied
with the action of the Committee on

dark months, consuming what they had
earned during the short summer sea-
son. Winter was n time for gambling
and dissipation, and they all collected
at Forty Mile and whiled away the long
night of self-imposed imprisonment.
Though the people of Forty Mile still
expect quite a muster from the mines
at the approach of cold weather. there
is n very radical change from the old
order. They have discovered that they
can accomplish more in winter than in
summer, and as q consequence the
working year is three times us long rs
it used to be. And here comes the utili-
ty of classifying the diggings according
to their depth. If the gold lies only

In the other kind. where the gravel is
more than seven feet from the surface,
they sink shaft for q beginning and
then burrow or drift under the SUPER

to allow space to work in. These opera

are better adapted for the cold season.

THE AGE OF THE PEARL.
Probably the Oldest Precious stone
Known TO the Ancicnts.

Probably the Oldest Precious stone
Known TO the Ancicnts.
The pearl is the cne gem that comes
TO us perfect from the hand of nature,
and to this its great antiquity as a
gem is largely due, says the Popular
Science Monthly. Precious stones
whose beauty and brilliancy depend on
polishing and cutting would naturally
hc discovered and utilized. The discov-
cry of the diamond probably dates
within historic times. Though known
earlier, it was not generally included
among the gem treasures of royalty
even as late as the seventh century. The
modern cutting of diamonds in regular
facets was invented as recently as 1886.
Indeed, it is quite probable that the
pearl was the first gem known and
treasured by prehistoric man-since
the search for food must have been the
first occUpation of the earliest race
and the shining pearl would thus have
been discovered in river musscls if not
in marine oysters. Certain it is that
the Old Testament ard the ancient writ
ten history allude to pearls, and that
remOter evidence is found on the tombs
and cycayated cities in still earlier
cras. The Egyptians, Babylonians and
Assyrians held the pearl in an esteem
verging on reverence.

Bicycles of 1898 Will Be Chainless. Sc

1t is surprising the interest that
in the recent reduction in the price of
Columbia bicycles.
1t appears to be the consensus of
opinion that other manufacturers of
high grade wheels will be disturbed
by the cut and that during the season
of '9s bicycles will be sold in Honolulu
for SIS and $50 which are now bring
ing $11O.
Colonel Albert A. Pope of the Pope
Manufacturing Company says that +he
reduction was brought about because
his firm can make more bicycles than
it can sell at 800 each, and he has
personal responsibility in seeing that
the large force of workmen is kept
constantly employed.
The capacity of the factory will
make 600 high grade wheels in ten
hours. The Colonel does believe that
his firm could make money by running
the factories half full or or half the

time.
"We have been working on chain

made good many models. We ex-
pect to make it our leading machine

BRING INCOME TAX SU|TSHANANANS ARE UNITED
GOVERNMENT HAS TEN DAYS TO
ANSWER IN.
James Campbell's Suit Represents In
ividuals--Honolulu Iron Works for
Corporations.

There was filed with the clerk of the
Circuit Court today two important
suits against the Government by Gen
eral A. S. Hartwell and Kinney &
Ballou, representing the taxpayers
who oppose the present law regulating
the tax on income.
The Government has ten davs -
which to file it's answer. Counsel for
the taxpayers, it is understood, hope
to obtain decision from the Supreme
Court in August before the tax is col
lected.
One suit is brought by James Camp
bell on behalf of individuals and an
other by the Honolulu Iron Works on
behalf of the corporations.
1t appears in Mr.. Campbell's suit
the ground is taken generally that the
law is unconstitutional in making un-
reasonable exemptions of individuals,
and because it necessarily requires du-
plicate taxation and discriminates i"
favor of the unincorporated mercantile
firms as against incorporated houses.
as well as individuals.
The same points are taken in the
corporation case of the Honolulu Iron
| Works. and it is claimed in addition
that the law is unconstitutiona in We
quiring under heavy penalty that the
officers of corporations shall produce
their books and accounts and furnish
under oath detailed statements Of
their affairs such as are not required
of individuals or of mercantile firms,
without allowing any appeal from
such assessment as the Assessor may
make in such case.
Further, that the law is unconstitu-
tional because the exclusion and non
enforcement of portions of it would
throw the entire income tax upon only
portion of the community.
