Important Ruling by the Internal

tobacconists and dealers. Collector Her

Gently made a ruling forbidding dealers

Congressman Brosius says on the SUBJ

at Washington informs him that Collector
Hershey misconstrued the rulings of the
department. The department has not fix
ed the minimum size of bales at eighty
pounds. Qualified dealers in leaf tobacco
are privileged to rehandle. re-asort, and
re-price their tobacco, and preparatory to
it's sale they are required to re-pack the
same in hogsheads, cases. or bales. but

ing the bosom in check has been
thought out by Robert Cluett, of Troy,

ed patent on the same. 1t consists of
a pair Of tabs fastened to each side of
the bosom, which are designed to fit
loosely around the suspenders, being
held either by a button or collar but
ton. AS there is a plurality of button
holes the tabs can be readily adjusted
to suit any figure. This tab arrange
ment successfully performs the mission
of the single tab sometimes put on the
bottom Of the bosom, which latter,
however, was always regarded as the
personification of uselessness.

FATHER" BoYNToN PLACED.
The Fight Among the Maccabees Has
Been Settled.

Port Huron, (Mich.)-The fight for
supremacy and office in the Supreme
Tent, Knights of Maccabees, is over.
Major Boynton withdrew his candi-
dacy for reelection as Supreme Rec
ord Keeper, and George J.Siegel of Buff
falo, N. Y, was elected to that office.
d. P. Marley was reelected Supreme
Commander. Major Boynton will
hereafter be chairman of the commit
tee on appeals on the board of trus-.
tees, and with title of Past Command
er. This, it is believed, will give
Father" Boynton as much power in
the management of the affairs of the
organization as before.
The major would rather have been
reelected to his old Office, and he re-
fused up to the time the convention
was called to order, to withdraw. The
fight was the most bitter in the his
tory of the order, and the differences
between Messrs Marley and Boynton
upon questions of policy entered into
the dispute.
DR.. Ransom E. Moss of this city, an
old friend of Major Boynton, was re-
elected Supreme Medical Examiner by
a vote of 40 to AZ, defeating Dr. D. q.
Wolf of Pennsylvania.

THAT MISSING LINK.

Chicago-A special to the Tribune
from Bonesteel, S. D., says that upon
the question whether his victim was
brute or human depends Archie Brew
er's guilt or innocence of the crime of
murder.
Brewer was one Of the owners of a
small tent show. Among the attrac-
tons was creature of seemingly a
higher form of animal life than a
monkey, and lower than a man.
Brewer and Thorndyke called the ami
NAL the missing link, and laid great
stress on the alleged fact that no one
was able to say whether it belonged to
the human or brute creation. Brewer
now ayers that the freak was a mon
key. In a scuffie with it, the show
man became angry and, selling a
heavy club, dealt his antagonist hard
blow over the ear, from the effects of
which it died in the afternoon.
The local authorities Immediately
placed Brewer under arrest under
charge Of murder. At the preliminary
hearing his lawyers set up a the de-
tense that their client did not take the
life of human being, but the magis-
trate bound him over to the grand
jury.

HAWAII BLOWN UP.

San Francisco-The officers of the
steamer Australia, which has arrived,
say it would not surprise them to hear
that there had been a fearful explosion
at the great volcano, and that Mauna
Loa is no more. After leaving Homo
lulu the ship ran into a remarkable
cross sea, which the crew thought was
caused by a submarine disturbance Of
unusual force. A blush vapor hung
over the water for days, and heavy
cloud, shaped like an umbrella, came,
borne on the winds, from the direction
of the volcano. When talking about
the eruption of the volcano, Chief Of
ficer Lawless said:
"The afternoon we left Honolulu,
the evening papers contained the
news that the lava flow was within
ten miles of Hilo and rolling steadily.
The island steamers were crowded
with passengers. Some people were
going to view the eruption, and others
were going to see how their families
and relatives were faring. In my opin-
ion the whole crest has been blown
off of Mauna Loa, and if the waters of
the sea has found their way into the
crater, then the whole island has been
shattered. In no other way can I &C.
count for the peculiar experience we
had after leaving Honolulu

TREE CULTURE.

There is no subject of so much pub
lie Importance, locally considered, as
forest tree culture, and this particular
ly applies to Southern California.
Here, it is safe to say, the planting of
forest trees is more needed than in al
most any other portion of the United
States. Fertile as this country is, strip
it entirely of trees and it would be-
come a desert. If the rain makers
would give their attention to planting
trees they would accomplish some
thing worth while. There is no better
way to conserve that dampness which
insures fertility than by planting and
protecting forest trees, and there is no
such sure way of converting country
into desert as by destroying the for
ests. When Western New York was
clad with primeval forests it was pen
etrated everywhere by the mill stream.
Since the original woods have been
mostly cleared away these mill
streams have been nearly all dried up.

PRIZE MONEY CLAIMS FOR DEW
EY'S FLEET.


ashington-Admiral Dewey has
filed suit as libellant in the district
court in the District of Columbia to
recover the prize money due him and
the officers and crew of his fleet.
Upon the ships and equipments
which have already been appraised
and inventoried by the board of ap-
praisers appointed by the secretary of
tho navy, Admiral Dewey demands the
sum of 1925. al. in addition to the
amount due upon the three cruisers
sunk in the engagement but subse-
quently raised, and upon which he
places value of $425,OOO. These YES
sells have never yet ben appraisal.
Hon. Hilary A. Herbert, the former
Secretary of the Navy, appears as the
chief counsel for Dewey.
The number of men engaged aboard
the American vessels during the battle
is 1886, and while Dewey declares that
he is unable to give the exact number
of men engaged on the Spanish side,
he asserts that the number was far in
excess of those under his command,
and that their forces were superior.
All the property recovered as the re-
suit of the battle is now in the possess
sion of the United States with the ex-
ception Of that which has been con-
sumed. Several days ago Admiral
Dewey filed petition for a claim for
a naval bounty growing out of the
battle of Manila Bay, and this with
many others filed before the navy de-
partment are now before the court of
claims for judicial determination.

FROM FOREIGN LANDS.

Valparaiso, (Chile)-Dr. Allis,
president of the American Presbyte-
rian Mission, is dead.
Rome-There was an eruption of
Mount Etna. After loud subterranean
noises the crater vomited forth dense
columns of smoke which were followed
by enormous masses of sand. A strong
earthquake shock occurred here at 80
o'clock and was followed during the
ensuing fifteen minutes by number of
other sever shocks.
A mysterious epidemic, which has
been prevailing among the cattle on

tents have been admitted to the hos

ly difficult to diagnose. Cattle are

planted by the liquid air, and the
space that has been required to store
ice will be utilized in extra quantities
of fruit. When it is understood that
icing a car is equal to one-sixth of the
space, the economy is apparent.
Experts assert that the moisture
from the melting ice is frequently
hurtful to consignments, and as the
liquid air expands into perfectly dry
element a desirable circulation is en-
gendered.
F. J. Horrigan, secretary of the Fay
Fruit Company, confirmed the fact
that his company has completed ar
rangements for the use of the Trip
Ter liquid air device.
while the liquid air method is still
largely experimental" said Mr.. Hor-
rigan, "its utility has been demon
strated, and it is susceptible of so
much practical use that we concluded
not to let an opportunity pass We
require annually thousands of tons of
ice, and as we send upwards of 1000
cars to the east we believe that with
the saving in space We shall without
increasing our service be able to han
die a larger quantity Of products. 1t
will take about fifty pounds of liquid
air to perform the same
service of as many tons of
ice. There is not feature in
science, domestic economy or in bust
ness that liquid air will not finally
reach. The process is now so perfect
ed that it can be made at the cost of
few cents pound.

LIQUID AIR WILL AID COAST
FRUIT SHIPPERS.
Fay Fruit Company has Secured Con
troll of the Stuff in Los Angeles.

Through the efforts of the Fay Fruit
Company Los Angeles will be the
second in the United States to be the
home of liquid air plant. The other
city is New York.
The first particular object that the
Fay Fruit Company has in view is the
use of this process in it's refrigerator
car system in the transportation of ci-
trus and deciduous fruits to Eastern
markets.
The inventor of the process, Charles
e. Tripler, has successfully demon
strated that it's utility is applicable in
maintaining an even and desirable
temperature in fruit cars, and that it's
use will combine many economic fea-
lures.
The present methods of using ice
and of reicing fruit cars will be sun
