IN THE MAINE WOODS.
Women With IL Desire to Kill Now
Hunt for the Big Gnne.
(From the Lewiston Journal.)

(frOm the Lewiston JOurnai.)
Once again the old guides are snorting
in disdain. Not only are the fair hunts
women fiocking into the woods with their
husbands and their fathers. but there are
several parties up On the Penobscot waters
that are made up wholly of feminine
shoOtsts.
Though women have been hunting in
the State each Fall with good success for
the past ten years. women have not be-
fore this ventured in unless with male
escort These women who are stopping
up beyond the DepsiconneaS dead water
are some very self-reliant women from
Massachusetts. They work in some of
the stores in a popuous city and being
spinsters. decided to paddle their own
canoe this season. One or two reliable
guides accompany them. and according
to all reports, they are doing extremely
well. One of them vouchsafed the infor-
nation to a passing sportsman that they
were doing "a blessed sight better than
If they had half a dozen men tagging
them around to see that they didn't wet
their feet or blow their heads off with
their rifles
But" remarks old Jed Hawkes., there
won't be any spruce gum left in that
nelShborhood. Lord, how those women
are yanking. They say they have chewed
a great deal of gum in their lives but
that they never knew what the clear
quill was till they came down here into
the State of Maine. While they're about
1t they are going 10 take back all they
can dig, buy or beg to the city. Even the
tall trees can't hide their big Jumps away
from these women. Three of them wear
boomers and have lots of muscle and
they kin climb anything that comes
along from trees to eatamounts Those
women are safe enough"
1t is said that half the parties that
have gone into the Moosehead region this
Fall have had women as members
You see. the women have for so many
years heard their male friends tell of
the ecstatic delights of hunting in the big
Maine woods that their feminine curiosity
has been excited and there has been a
veritable clamor to be allowed to go in
Once in while there Is one woman who
finds the trip enough to last her for
a lifetime. The fun isn't at all as she
has expected it would be. The woods
may be good enough for the men, but
as for her she prefers the boulevard and
tie shopping district
Then there are other women who meet
the most ferocious weather the Maine
woods have to furnish; who are drenched
every other day to the skin and who get
dumped out of a canoe two or three times
just by way of variety. These women
so home and tell all the folks that they
have had just the most lovely time, and
that they are all impatience for the year
to roll around so that they may go again.
Those are the kind of heroines that can
extract fun from every mishap. They
are the only kind that should tackle the
dubious pleasures of the Maine woods.
For that class-and it is an extensive one
that enjoys roughing it, there is no en-
joyment in all the world like the Autumn
forest. But the person who goes in for

THE STUDY OF THE BIBLE.
Mrs. Richmond Points Out Its Mani
fcstntions of Spirit Power.

Miracles and modern spiritual mani
festations were contrasted and compared
by Mrs. Cora L. V. Richmond, pastor of
the First Spiritual Association, of Wash
ington, yesterday at II o'clock in Macca-
bee Temple.
The burden of Mrs. Richmond's sermon
seemed TO be to encourage among spir-
itualists deeper study of the Bible and
more respect for its miracles. The gifts
of the spirit as recorded in Paurs chap
ter on the manifestation of the spirit,
she said. were exactly analogous to the
manifestations of modern spiritualism.
She mentioned the many spiritual mani
festations given the children of Israel
during their wanderings in the wilder
ness, and said there was nothing in the
old Mosaic law which forbade the exer-
else of spiritual gifts, and that the perse-
cutions of persons endowed with these
gifts grew out of jealousy on the part OF
the Jewish priests, and that the laws
on the subject Were inspired by them.
The woman of Endor to whom Saul
went for enlightenment, she declared,
was a spiritualist medium. and that her
revelations to Saul afterward came true
The three Hebrew children who were
cast into the fiery furnace possessed me-
diumistic powers. and Mrs. Richmond
said that there were at least six per-
sons living today who were endowed with
the same gift and could pnt their hands
in the flames and handle fire.
Likewise she explained the miracle of
Daniel in the lions den. This same DOW
er has existed in every age in India. and
Mrs Richmond predicted that it would
eventually be taken up by the Christian
churches.

THE N1cARAauAN TARIFF.
Decreased Importntions Expected as
Result of Changes.


Result of Changes.
The State Department has given out for
publication the following communication
relative to the new Nicaraguan tariff:
II forward copy and translation of the
new Nicaraguan tariff. established by ex-
ecutive decree and operative on Septem-
ber II, 1898. / am informed that it makes
an average increase of about 100 per cent
on the former schedule. Rice. corn, beans
and potatoes, which were formerly on the
free list, now pay duty of 10 cents equal
to cents in United States currency per
kilogram (220 pounds). The object of the
change is presumably an increase of the
revenue. but its probable primary result
will be a decrease of importations.
WILLIAM LAWRENCE MERRY.
Minister.
San Jose. October TO- 1885,
The new tariff regulation is as follows:
The president of the state, considering
that the customs tariff of July 2j. 1883.
does not respond to the actual conditions
of commerce. because 1t does not include
many new articles whose Importation has
increased, and because practice has shown
that 1t contains Irregularities in the classi-
fication Of goods. from which an unjust
distribution of their respective duties re-
the constitutional reform of October Is.
1896, DEGREES:
Article l. From publication of the pres
ent decree, duties on imported goods will
be collected upon each kilogram gross
weight according to the following rate:
Article 2. On articles not enumerated in
the previous classification, duties will be
paid as on those most similar; but IL COM
posed of diverse materials duty will be
paid on that which predominates.
Article ;. Merchandise that may have
been omitted and which cannot be as
simulated in accordance with the preced-
ing article Will be charged 200 per cent
on the original invoice COZ This duty
will be raised to $50 per cent with respect
to those articles whose raw material is
produced in the country, and 1t will be
reduced to 100 per cent regarding articles
pertaining TO art and sciences. These
duties will be collected in current money
of the country. In the absence of in
voices the value of the articles will be
fixed by adjustsTs.
Article l. When pne package contains
articles paying different duties, the
weight of the packing will be distributed
in proportion to the net weight of the
different articles contained in the pack
age.
Article 5. The present law does not in
cude articles proceeding from Central
American states whose introduction is
free or based on special duties in con-
formity with existing treaties.
Article 6. Duties under the present law
shall be paid into the general treasury
as follows: Twenty per cent by orders
on The custom-house. as per decree of
October 80. 1896; 10 per cent by orders on
the custOm-house. as per decree Of June
10, 1881; ID por cent by documents of pub
liz lI,- lai nd
edged and 50 per cent in cash. This dis
position does not affect the present per
mits. nor the deposits actually destined
TO their consolidation in the maritime
duties.
Article I. The tariff of July %. 1855.
and any other ruling opposed to the pres
ent decree. is hereby annulled.'
