WHERE STAMPS MUST GO.
Batch of Important Decisions From
 the Treasury Department.

The following list of decisions relative to the new stamp tax law was received by Collector Lynch yesterday:
 A 2-cent stamp is required on an order for cash drawn on a merchant by one of his customers.
 Certificates of deposit drawing interest, If left certain time, are taxable the same as promiSSory notes.
 IT papers in the nature of receipts are given in lieu of checks and are used as commercial negotiable instruments they are checks and not receipts, and are sub ject to tax.
 Where certificates of stock are delivered as collateral, the stock to be forfeited only upon condition of failure to pay the debt for which 1t is pledged, a stamp is required as pledge and not as a sale.
 Real estate mortgage notes require to be stamped in addition to the stamps placed on the mortgage.
 Where there is pledge of property ac- companying and promissory note, which pledge Is subject to stamp tax under Sched- ule A, this stamp tax must be paid, not withstanding the fact that a stamp is also required on the note connected with it.
 In cases of loans on real estate. where promissory notes are given. which are not paid at maturity. but on which an extension of time of payment is granted without the taking of new note, it Is held that every such extension is a re- newal of the note within the meaning of the statute, and that the requisite stamp must be affixed for every such renewal discounted before July l, falling due on or after that date.
 The person who signs and issues a bank check without aftiXing the proper stamp becomes involved in liability to penalties under section 10 of the act, unless 1t is

that said Doyle to gratify his malevolent and evil nature intimidated said O'Kane, assignee, and likewise influenced Howard HaVens, partner in the Donohoe, Kelly & Co. bank, to so misrepresent, frighten and intimidate said O'Kane not to act as assignee for said estate of Daily 6 Hawkins, notwithstanding Doyle. the law yer, and Ravens, the banker, well knew that said O'kane had in his name the deed of assignment of all of their valu- able estate, and had ratified his accept ance of said deed by solemn oath that he would protect their estate to the best of his ability, yet they kept on persuad- Ing and intimidating him until they fin ally coerced said O'Kane to refuse to file estate of Daily 6 Hawkins was let go to waste. O'Kane did not act, yet the deed Of the estate was on record in his name, and nobody else could act.
 The affidavit goes on in this vein unto the end. It treats of other mat ters which in the main are not of pub lie interest, and through it all there sounds a note of grievance, of in- Justice done and done under the forms of law. The paper enters minutely into conversations and gives copies of let ters written by Doyle and others. It contains nearly 25,000 words and is re- markably we'll written for a man who had no education as a lawyer, it's only defect being it's historical character and its references to subjects which would not be deemed material to the issue in a court of law. One of the Doyle letters is characteristic and is quoted here:
 Rooms 36. 37, 3S.
 916 Market street, Columbia building,
 SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.
 April 25. 1895.
 My Dear Sir: Mrs Donahue don't care whether MT. Hawkins accepts the s10 per week l offer or not. If he accepts she will put at O'Farrell & Co.'S S10 per week for him, which he can draw while he behaves himself; but the condition is that he shall quit talking or writing letters to any of us, you or Mrs. Donahue, or Mrs. Martin, or MT. Harvey or myself, about this claim. He may commence as many law suits as he sees fit. When he begins again writing letters and seeking inter- views we will stop payment of this sti- pend. That is all there is about it. Yours truly. JOHN T. DOYLE.

Messrs. Galpin 6 Zeigler, assisting of the Police Court. that was held by the committing magistrate to appear be- fore the Superior Court.
 Another interesting episode men, tioned in the document is the following describing a talk between Hawkins and Peter Donahue when Peter was sick in bed:
 Affiant expressed his sympathy and re- gret to and for Peter, and the cause of it. when Peter raised himself from the bed and said, "Oh Michael, this fight is not a you, it is at me; this is the work of my and he has so managed 1t through that d-d stupid shoemaker, John O'Kane, to make it appear before the public as If my brother James children were fighting at me. Oh, If my brother James were alive, his children would not have done this" Affiant replied, Cousin, I know il Is Doyle's work, and it Is his fight at you but l will make 1t mine. I will take your Doyle" Peter said to affiant, "Ah Michael. you do not know. Doyle as well as l do" Affiant has, to the date of this 1898, been in that fight with Doyle for now nineteen years and four months, and still Doyle and atfiant are in conflict over the home affiant deeded in trust to his cousin Peter, he now having associated with him, Doyle the nephew of said Peter s widow. J. Downey Harvey, the executor defendant herein.
 Mr. Hawkins personally served a copy of the affidavit upon Garret Me Enerney yesterday and MT. McEner- hey admitted service of the document When asked last night for a statement concerning the matter MT. McEnerney said
 T have not yet had time to read the affidavit filed by MT. Hawkins on his own motion for a new trial, but he is insane and everybody knows it. He was up before the Commissioners for Insanity some years ago. This suit has been running along for the last twenty years, and it has been decided four or five times. During the life time of the late Mrs. Donahue he shot at her and was sent to jail for year for it. He is laboring under a sup posed grievance. There are no new facts in the case that I know of He claims that he deeded his house worth 1000 to Peter Donahue and the Hi bernia Bank foreclosed on it. Hawkins brought suit against Donahue's execu- tors and the suit was decided in their favor. He was continually thereafter writing letters to Mrs. Donahue, and the executors gave him s10 per week just to keep soul and body alive. Hawkins, supposing that this gratuity was for life, brought suit for it, and it was proved that there was no contract Whatever and that it was a gratuity"

GRAPE-NUTS.
A SECOND DISH.

 Condensed Food

When the new food was first placed ID my store l took a package home to try. The name, 'Grape-N Nuts had at tracted my attention and the state ment that it was partly composed of grape-sugar excitt my interest, as we all know that grape-sugar, made by certain methods of treating the cereals, is one of the most nourishing and di- gestible articles that can be eaten.
 II rather expected to like the food, but was not expecting that the ch;l- dren would take so kindly to it. Each one of the little folks, however. passed up the saucer for a second supply and so did l.
 Tt is a delicious novelty and very grateful to the palate. I found. about midway in my second dish, that I had sufficient for meal and realized for the first time that I was eating a con densed food that supplies one's wants with few spoonfuls and does not re- quire anything like the volume to furnish the amount of food required. as when any of the ordinary forms of cereals are served. Grape Nuts are an elegant food and the Postum Cereal Co, Lim.. are to be congratulated upon Nhe discovery" said M c. Goossen, the well known fancy grocer of Grand Rapids.

Eugene V. Debs in Denver.

From the Denver Industrial Advocate.
Last Sunday was memorable in the
history of the labor movement by the
appearance of Eugene V. Debs at three
great meetings. He spoke in the morn
ing at the Broadway, in the afternoon at
the Coliseum and in the evening at
Trades Assembly. On each occasion he
was greeted by enthusiastic audiences,
and his remarks were all well received.
Debs is an observer, thinker and man
who can tell what he thinks Without
any attempts at oratOrical display he
tells his opinions forcibly and carries
conviction with his great earnestness.
He has appeared in Denver before and
may come again, and it is safe to say he
will always be welcomed by the people
who want to see better conditions for all
If any one had desired evidence of his
popularity and the ideas and principles
which he represents, such person should
have been a spectator at the reception
given the labor leader at Coliseum hall
under the auspices Of the Social DemOc-
racy. Every inch of floor space was
taken, the aisles were filled with chairs,
the rows of seats in the galleries were
filed and spectators lined the walls. Men
who could not obtain seats elsewhere sat
on the edges of the platform and with
heads thrown back and eyes upturned
toasted their sight on the animated
Countenance of Debs, who for two hours
talked steadily, musically and logically
on the questlOn-capital and labor.

YOrk's leading stores and two members
of Boston firms have stated that they
could ascertain great deal about the
conditions under which their goods are
manufactured, If their customers showed
any desire to obtain such information.
Therefore, If buyers are conscientious
and persistent, they will insist that mer-
chants give to them guaranty Of the
wholesomeness Of the goods that they
sell, and merchants will then insist that
manufacturers provide them with such
a guaranty. Notwithstanding it's name,
consumers would not be responsible for
the proposed label. 1t would be awarded
by the factory inspector, and would serve
as the crest of noble manufacturers
each of whom would zealously guard it,
so that none who did not deserve it could

Needs of a Consumers Label.

Maud Nathan in the North American Review.
What we need is label which will not
arbitrarily exact that the workers
should belong to labor organizations, but
which would insure to the purchaser: (1)
Sanitary conditions in the production;
(2) living wage to the producer; (3)
good workmanship; (D the Endorsement
of the factory inspector; (5) the option
Of its use by all manufacturers who can
prove that they fulfill the necessary con-
ditions. Such label would be an ad-
vantage to the producer, to the buyer, to
the merchant, and to the manufacturer.
Moreover this label could Tightfully be
called the consumers label" (to distln-
guish 1t from the union label'), and,
If adopted by the leading merchants Of
any one city, it would soon force its way
into universal USE All merchants would
have to adopt It, or lose their custom as
soon as the purchasing public understood
its nature In the commercial rivalry
between the great cities Of the country,
the conditions under which merchandise
is manufactured must, of necessity, COM
mand more and more attention, and may,
indeed, prove deciding factor in the
struggle for business. Massachusetts
claims to have no sweat-shop work done
within her borders, owing to her strin-
gent laws and the proper enforcement Of
them. Massachusetts, inspectors also
have the authority to examine goods sent
for sale from other States. Boston mer-
chants have already shown disposition
to cooperate with consumers by ascer-
tanning under what condition goods are
made. A well-known Philadelphia firm
has advertised recently that the under
wear sold over its counters was made in
farmhouses under pure, healthful con-
dltions, and not in sweat-shops." This
is a sign of the times, a sign that the
public is being educated to demand how
its garments are manufactured, just as
1t has been taught to demand how its
meat is inspected and slaughtered, and
under what conditions it's bread is made
in the bakeshops

In upholding the constitutionality Of
the BARRIERS license law of Minnesota
Judge Shissler, of that State, said:
THE law here under discussion has
for its purpose the better protection of
the public health against certain diseases
and Affections that are we'll known to be
created and disseminated by the lack Of
skill OF many BARRIERS in the care and
use of BARRIERS tools and instruments,
all through lack Of proper education
OF BARRIERS relative to the cause Of these
diseases and Affections, and Of the means
of preventing their creation or spread
All skilled BARRIERS will admit that men
are often inOculated with foul disease
because Of the miscellaneous shaving of
people with the same instruments in the
hands Of ignorant and unskilled work
men. This being true, it seems to the
court that chapter 1856 tends to protect
the public health against these diseases,
and has some relation to the welfare of
society. 1t Is not to be denied that the
evil effects of unskilled barbering are
not as frequent or widespread as aflic-
tions Of mankind against which the po-
