THE STORY OF JULY THIRD.
A Characteristic Letter From Conn
madare w. =. SchIeH

Major Horatio B. Lowry OF the Marine
Corps, now retired, who resides at Rock
vile, Md, is old sfipmate and intimate
friend of Commodore W. S. Schley, and has
received a characteristic letter from the
latter, written on the Brooklyn at Guam
tanamo bay August 4. 1t is as follows:
Dear Lowry: Thanks for your letter
and the clippings. 1t was surely a warm
morning, that Sd day of July off Santiago!
We got the chance We had been waiting for
and we tried to do our duty; how well We
succeeded the remains of Cervera's ships
on the Cuban coast tell a better story than
L could, for no mans pen can ever do that
Sunday mornings work full justice from
any single point of view.
Thanking you again, and hoping that
Peace, with all her blessings. may soon
come, am very sincerely yours,
wv. S. SCHLEY"

TILE NEW T4YES.

How the new taxes will affect bust
ness is a matter of much importance
and also of much difference of opinion.
Thomas G. Sherman, of Brooklyn,
who is an authority upon matters of
taxation, calls to mind the fact that
under internal revenue taxation in "the
SIXTIES over thirty distinct branches
of manufacture practically ceased to
exist in the country" Upon this fact
being reported, substantially all inter-
nal revenue taxes upon manufactures
other than liquors and tobacco were re-
pealed. Mr.. Shearman adds Fortu-
nately the new internal revenue law
does not repeat all the follies of the
old law of 1864. The truth is that it
would require superhuman wisdom to
foresee all the damage which will fol-
low from any tax whatever upon pro-
duction. ] venture to predict that the
trihing tax of two cents each upon
bank checks which has just been i'm
posed, will speedily result in stopping
the development of bank deposits in
rural districts, will lead to the almost
universal payment of sums under $40
in money instead of checks, and will
thus increase the demand for actual
money instead of checks to the extent
of at least $3O,ooO,0OO every day.
We shall soon see. If the tax on
bank checks has the result predicted
by Mr.. Shearman it will make great
changes. But many good judges do not
apprehend any such result.

marking Of cattle Is relic Of times so
long gone by, obsolete and worthless at
the present day, when cattle growers
are compelled to- utilize not alone their
beef, but the hide that covers it, and
doing violence to every correct idea of
economy that should prevail on well
regulated range. The resolutions state
that the branded portion Of hide is
rendered practically worthless to the
tanner because the burning destroys all
its natural qualities and renders it unfit
for use in any kind of leather manu-
featured. Dealers make a distinction
of from ten to twenty cents per one
hundred pounds at the big markets in
favor Of unbranded animals, for the
buyer knows that the hide buyer will
discriminate against branded hides and
he in turn Is compelled to make sim
liar discrimination against heavily
branded cattle when making his pur-
chases, which, in the case of a four
teen acknowledgement bullock, will
amount to from $1.4O to $3.50 to the ami
NAL.

A PATHETIC STORY.

Mayor Warwick of Philadelphia Lends
Helping Hand to Deserving
Man.
A striking story of plucky and cul-
tivated young colored mans struggle to
rise above almost insurmountable OBJ
stacles in securing higher education,
and of how Mayor Warwick was led
to sympathize with and lend a helping
hand to the heroic, fellow, is told by a
we'll known Philadelphia, who prefers

their Introduction to warrant final
conclusion on their merits. The COM
mittee carefully considered cases of
dislntegration and discoloration, which
We're particularly noticeable in papers
containing wood-pulp The former eff
feet, however, was noticeable in papers
Of all grades, and was generally due to
a chemical change in the fibres. In rag
papers the presence of acid bodies
seems to cause the disintegration, While
with papers made of mechanical wood
pulp the result is occasioned by oxida-
tion The discoloration seemed to af-
feet all papers to a greater or less de-
gree, and in the case of ordinary cellu
lose papers is proportional to the
amount of rosin and the particular con-

mittee presents practical recommend
alton of a normal standard of quality
for papers required for publications Of
permanent value. Their specifica-
lions are as follows: Fibres-Not less
than 70 per cent. of f1bres of the cotton,
flax and hemp class. Sizlng-Not more
than 2 per cent of rosin and finished
with the normal acidty of pure alum.
Loading-Not more than 10 per cent to-
