8 Twenty years ago the weekly religious
spprs we're nearly all big blanket sheets
ke the dailies One after another they
educed TO the size of Harper's Weekly
nd The Scientific American, or even to
alf thai size. Il was inevitable that the
lost enterprising Of them should reach
- ultimate form, that of magazine,
s nd The Independent Of New York, the
hos comprehensive OF them all an
tounces that with its first issue in July il
an appear as a weekly magazine of the
! lie Of the Century. II viii have a cover,
znd usually 81 pages, which will be in
..reased when necessity requires. II pro-
tases with the altered form to maintain
'ts full quota Of able writers, and its va
sious editorial departments, covering re-
3 igious, political, social and literary mat
a., 70 which il owes its prominence. IL
BIN not be illustrated, except as lis ad-
!, ,nirable series Of maps illustrate the
events Of current history. The price
hvill at the same time be reduced from
khree dollars to uniform rate of two
siollars a year and single copies from ten
ceuts to five cents.
When it comes TO figuring il down 10 q
anathematical nicely, says the Johnstown
5Tribune, ii Is hard TO see just how much
the retail sellers OF beer are going to re-
ince the size Of their glasses 10 make up
1ar the increased tax which has caused
. The manufacturers 10 advance the price 81
q barrel The increase in cost 10 the re-
taller Is about three cents a gallon, three
iourths Of cent a quart, or three-six-
leenihs OF a cent a glass. This is three
eightieihs Of the price Of glass Of beer
and 10 be honest and square with the
drnker the seller should reduce the
drink only in that proportion, which
would certainly not take out very many
drops. Il would hardly pay 10 make the
change at all, evidently. In the matter OF
cheap smokes-tobies, or stogies-the
burden Is more percepuble, as they are
taxed sixty cents Thousand, the same
rate as cigars that sell for 500 a thousand.
and manufacturers have added forty cents
on their own account, making the stogies
casi The dealers 81 a thousand more. or
one tenth Of cent each. Dealers are
more than taking care Of their own by
changing the price from four for five 10
three ior i've The revenue that will be
derived from the stogie alone is going 10
oe enormous, as some 81. .009 90 of them
are made annually in Western Peuusvl-
'Ania and West Virginia, which will
yield about S3o0.On.
Richard Harding Davis. in the New
York Herald, adds some details of the
Rough Riders inst battle. lie SAYS the
action was finally won by a piece Of
American blum.
The Spanish position was an old rnin-
ed distiilery, shut in by impenetrabie
bushes. In advance Of the bushes there
We're hundred yards Of omen ground
