granted New York comrades without any wob-

veterans are gone, the armed soldiers who are yet

The most dangerous age for n bache-
lor is under 2G1a, TO be accurase 1888,
as the registrar general dryly puts it in
his statistical return just issued. The
most joyous and delightful age for
woman is something over 245A-24.50.
That is 10 say, that il was at those pre-
else ages that the average bachelor of
last year and the average maid became
one.
The bachelor, however, grows more
wary year by year. He was older in
1898 than in 1897 when he fell into the
tolls. The average bachelor was mar
ried in 1897 at 26.3O years of age, quite
.05 less. The girl, too, has to wait long
er now than she used TO. She was .05
of a year younger in 1897 when she be-
came wife than in 1S0s. As for the
people who marry as minors they are

900 husbands in 1874 were married
under the age of 81, and so,Were 227 out
of every 1000 women. The boy hus-
bands have come down to 81 per 1000
now; the girl wives have dropped to 17O
per 1,0DO. There have not been so few
boy and girl marriages n any time
since 1851.

grows more dangerous to the people

never seems to provide that she shall

TO sea, and Jack, half stifled, is under
water in it. A turret is visible awash;

and leanly to the sky; add a pole mast

AN INTERESTING CASE SETTLED

| Decision Regarding the Customs Duty
| on a Proprietary Sauce Brought Here
in an Unfinished State.
| An order was filed in the United States
| district court on August discontinulng
by consent Of both parties, the suit OF
! the United States against John Dun
cans Sons. This simple incident ter
minated a remarkable episode in the adj
ministration Of the customs laws.
About sixty years ago this firm be-
came the American agents for the firm
of Lea &, Perrins, of Worcester, Eng
land, manufacturers of the well known
proprietary preparation called Worces-
tershire sauce.
About twenty-five years ago change
of practice was begun by Lea 6, Per-
rims and John Duncan's Sons by which,
instead of sending over here the sauce
finished, bottled, labelled and ready for
use it was sent over in a partly man
ufactured condition in casks, and the
Messrs. Duncan finished the sauce here
according to formula furnished them
by the English house, and bottled and
put it up for sale. This course had GER
firms from paying duty on bottles, la
bells, straw and finishing expenses, and
avoided breakage. The article which
was brought over was an incomplete
material for the sauce, and was of
course, of no use to anybody who was
not acquainted with the formula for fin
ishing it. 1t was never furnished by
Lea & Perrins to anybody but the Dun
cans, and consigned only to them. 1t
twas, therefore, one Of the class Of mer
chandisa Cor which our tariff law pro-
vides that in determining the valuation
upon which to assess duty the govern
ment officers shall ascertain the cost of
production and make. suitable addition
to represent the manufacturers profit.
Lea g. Perrns had furnished the
United States consul with statement
of their cost of production, giving as
much detail as was consistent with the
inviolabilty of their proprietary secret.
A suit was brought against the import
ers. They defended it, putting In an
answer denying that the goods had been
undervalued, and alleging good faith ON
their part The attorney general direct
ed the discontinuance of the suit on the
Messrs. Duncan fling an affidavit SIM
liar to the declaration made by Lea &
Perrins, on the other side, that the in
voices in question had fully covered the
market value Of the importation. The
suit was discontinued without costs,
without payment of one dollar by the
Messrs Duncan, and upon the motion
of the governments officers themselves.
Lea & Perrins' Worcestershire sauce
is apparently more popular than ever,
and it is difficult for the manufactur-
ers to keep up the demand,-New York
