RARE CASE OF BUSINESS HONOR
Anos y. Emo OF New York Pays 100000
TO settle Dsbts of n War Time Failure.

Anos y. Emo OF New York Pays $780, 900
TO settle Dsbss of n War Time Failure.
The most remarkable case OF busi-
ness honesty and conscientiousness
ever known has come to light In the
action of Amos +. Emo Of New York,
who. at an estimated outlay of $500
900, is paying of old claims against n
firm in which he was member, and
which failed two. weeks after the out
break Of the civiI~war. Before the war
Amos II. Emo. now of the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel. WIS the head OF the hrm
of Emo. Roberts. Rhoades & Co. In
1857 his son. Amos l.. Emo, succeeded
to his fathers interest. In 1883 the
firm dissolved. and WIS succeeded by
the firm of Emo. Benren Valentine,
Amos r. Emo being at its head. II
did a most extensive business In Hicks
dry goods. its customers being almost
entirely In the South.
At the outbreai, OF the war the
southern merchants refused to settle
their balances. Nnny firms crashed.
and two weeks after Fort Sumter WAS
fired upon the firm of Emo. Beuren n
Valentine went down. The stock and
business We're sold. and the proceeds
prorated among the creditors. wno
gladly signed release on receipt of
the small dividend thus secured. The
firm passed out of memory. but after
the war Mr.. Emo re-e;nbarked in busi-
ness and prosrered.
Nothin. more was ever thought OF
the old firm and its debts until quite
recently. when Mr.. Emo began uistrib-
utipg checks among the old creditors
OF his firm. with interest at per cent.
since 1861. He eDjoined confidence on
the receipt of each check, but the exhi-
bition was such rare one that the
news leaked out. Mr.. Emo positively
refuses to say word about it. Many
of those who have received the checks
know nothing about the old claims. be-
ing sons, nephews and grandchildren
of the original creditors of the old
firm. and the books in which the old
accounts Were Kept having been de-
stroyed. They can only take Mr.. Eno's
word for the fact that he owes them

Sport on tho Ice.

One of the most exciting of wi,ft.r
sports is the sled merry-go-round. 1t
is built very much like an ordinary
boys whirligig. only 1t is placed on
the ice. And for genuine fun 1t cannot
be equaled.
Any boy can make sled merry-go-
round. All the material necessary Is n
stout post, long enough to reach
through the ice and find secure rest
ing place in the mud or sand in the
bottom OF the pond. 1t should reach
about three feet above the surface.
When 1t is put in place hole may be
cut in the Ice Just large enough to ad-
nit 1t. and heavy mallet will drive
1t into place in the bottom OF the pond.
II 1t is left over night the water Will
freeze close around 1t and hold 1t solid.
In the top of the post large. round
bolt or spike should be driven. The
whirligig part OF the merry-go-round
is long plank or scantling with a
hole in the middle just large enough
to fit over the bolt or spike. When
this is in place the merry -go-round is
complete. Before it Is used, however,
1t is we'll to grease the top Of the post
and bolt SO that the plank will slip
around easily.
Any number of exciting games may
be played with the sled merry-go-
round. Perhaps the best OF these IL
the sled contest. Two stout sleds are
attached to the ends OF the plank by
long ropes. A boy sits on each of
them. Then half dozen other boys

LEE FORCES AHEAD.

Late Returns From South Dakota Mako
His Election Practically Sure.
SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., Nov. 14.-Up to
Friday evening the RepublicansI Ilaimed
the election of Philips for governor.
Early in the evening, however, the off,
cial returns had made such slump to
Lee that the Republicans were forced
to admit his election. The official re-
turns received up TO noon indicate that
Lee will have 400 to 500 over Philips.
Late returns have made q decided
change regarding the amendments,
especially equal suffrage. While the
dispensary and referendum amendments
may pull through, everything now indi-
Gates that the equal suffrage amend
ment has been defeated.

TARIFF MUST Be REVISED
Changes to Be Made to Meet
New Conditions.
SENATOR HANNA THE AUTHORITY
Says More Revenue for the Support Of the
Government Must BE Raised
In Some Way.

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. A.-In an in
terview Senator Hanna says the tariff
will have to be revised to meet existing
conditions.
"The war revenue measure" he said,
"must be revised, but we will keep
many of the original features of the law
simply because it is now necessary.
Under the old tariff law we are not get
ting very much revenue because we are
exporting instead of importing and
something must be done to meet these
new conditions. We must have a new
revenue measure. So far as / am con-
cerned I favor putting duty on tea
and coffee. The revenues for the sup
port of the government must be raised
in some way, and the indirect is the
best way, according to my idea"

GREAT DAY FOR THE CAUSE
Nearly All the Speakers Took Occasion to
Expound the Doctrines of the
Organization.

ST. PAUL, Nov. IA crusade for
members was made by the ladies Of the
w. G. T. U. in all the churches of the
Twin Cities Sunday morning and even
ing. The ladies We're invited by the
ministers to occupy the pulpits, and
they eagerly accepted the invitations,
and they seized upon the occasion to
expound the doctrines of the w. G. L.
u. and secure additional members.
In nearly every church a num-
Der of people agreed to join the
union. During the past week while the
convention has been in session in the
Peoples church there have been but
fow outsiders in attendance, and most
of the speakers urged all who could to
attend the sessions, which are open to
the general public.
The fight over the question of aban-
doning the Temple at Chicago Is very
bitter. If the national body decides to
let it go it is probable new organiza-
ton may be formed which will attempt
to raise the debt and control the prop
erty.

Not Believed Spaniards VIII Agree to q
: Treaty Americans Will Sign.
PARIS, Nov. 14.-Among onlookers
here the impression prevails, though it
is not the result of any official state
ment, that the Spanish peace commits
sioners will not agree 10 treaty of
peace which the Americans will sign.
Ever since Oct. it has been within the
possibilities that an open rupture might
occur and on one or two occasions it
might have been easily fact even be-
for the taking up of the Philippines
question,
The boundaries of the field in which
that question is being worked out are
becoming more apparent and the angle
OF final settlement cannot be far off. If
a treaty. is to result here it may fairly be
expected within three weeks, although
it is not true, as reported from the
United States, that the Americans have
instructions embodying a time limit for
the consideration of the negotiations.

Victims OF Failure Bid In the Securities

KENosHA, Wis, Nov. 14.-An inter-
esting auction sale was conducted at
Peter Fishers Office, when George Hale,
assignee of the defunct Dan Head bank,
offered all the property remaining in his
hands from the winding up of affairs.
Thousands of dollars worth of notes,
bonds and securities of an aggregate
amount Of $25, 900 was disposed Of, bat
the entire amount did not bring one one
hundredth of the value, and 1t was
knocked off after spirited bidding at
$247.35. The bidders, of whom there
was large number, did not seek to buy
the stock so much for it's intrinsic value
as for the fact that it furnished an in
teresting souvenir of the failure of the
bank which had cost not a few of them
thousands Of dollars.

General Comes VIII No Longer Tolerate

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 14.-Captain
Warren, an American who has been
with General Maxine Gomez, says the
latter will no longer tolerate Americans
about him and is getting rid Of them as
3ast as possible. He takes the same
course in the case of Cubans suspected
of fayoring annexation to the United
States. The result Is that some of the
best men who were long attached to
his immediate staff are not now with
him.
II will be difficult, Captain Warren
believes, to get the majority of the in
surgsnts to disband. His idea is that
when the American authorities get con-
troll Of the other portions Of the island
they should give out no rations and
punish severely all thefts of cattle and
produce.

Eighth Cavalry Sails From Sa-

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.-Adjutant
General Corbin has received dispatch
announcing that the Eighth cavalry

puerto Principe, Cuba. The regiment
will be the American garrison at Puerto
Principe and Nuevitas.
In this connection an interesting bit
Of Information has reached the war de-
psrtment. Arrangements have been
made by the Spanish authorities to send
back to Spain the Spanish troops num-
herring $500 men, upon the arrival OF
the American garrison. 1t was expect
/ ed they would sail next Tuesday or
Wednesday but an unexpected obstacle
has arisen among the men themselves.
They are on the verge of mutiny, openly
declaring they will not return to Spain
until they
Have Received Their Pay,
now far in arrears, for service in Cuba.
The mutiny extends not alone to the en-
listed men, but to their officers, and is
directed against the executive officers of
the Madrid government on the island.
Some of the men have not been paid for
nearly year and to all of them several
months pay is due.
The situation has created no particu-
lar concern in the minds of the Ameri-
can authorities, as it is not likely seri-
Ously to affect the control of that por-
ton of the island by the American
forces, but it is realized that those $500
soldiers, if they should persist in their
refusal to return to Spain, might be-
come dependents whom it would be
difficult to care for, and ultimately,
perhaps, a menace to good government
on the island.
