reasons. The father published some
French books of instruction, having
acquired an excellent knowledge of
that language while residing in France
with the grandfather OF the present
Mr.. Dubois.
The grandfather was a diplomat
from this country, and a resident of
Kentucky. Mr.. Dubois father conceiv-
ed the idea that books under a French
authorship would sell better. and so in
1851 he adopted his mothers maiden
name as that of the whole family.Since
that time they have been known as
Dubois.

age. He remained a member OF the
New Bedford city guards. and became
n corporal.
In 65 he finished his schooling and
went 10 work FOR Thomas OTIS, a New

WILL CLOSE UP : .
ALL THE SALOONS

Akron. O., Feb. "A reporter of the
National Liquor League was in the city
this week and local liquor men are very
reticent as to the motive of his visit. AS
a result a strange story is told of the
movement, of which he is said to be at
the head. 1t is no more than the closing
up of every saloon in the city for a period
of two years. Members of the Akron LID
uor league make this statement in all SER
iousness and claim that the project is en-
tirely feasible. The manner of doing this
is by the following method: The National
league. covering "a states, is strong
enough to pay the proprietors of the To-
cal saloons revenue enough to keep them
out of the business and will do so in order
to give the people of Akron and of ali
other cities an object lesson on the suffer-
ings which will be entailed on municipali-
ties by the closing of these places. The
Dow tax paid by the saloons amount in
Akron to a very large sum-, the most Of
which goes to the police and poor funds
and the loss of this, the liquor dealers fig
ure. will seriously embarrass the finances
Of the city. Akron has been selected as
the city for this object lesson because Of
the recent agitation by the ministers here
against the saloons of the city.

Wine Dealers Cooperate

San Francisco, Feb. 2.-The California
Wine Makers corporation and the AS
ISOLATED Wine Dealers have effected ar
engagements by which they will cooper
ate in the future. All their difficulties
have been settled and the judgments and
suits compromised. The associated deal
crs control about So per cent of the Cali
fornia wine trade in the United States.
Thus the dealers and manufacturers and
growers will get a fair division of the
profits. The wine makers corporation
will be recognized on the present lines
before the coming vintage is ready and
the dealers promise to lend their aid and
assistance to the project. After the re-
organization they will control at least
80 per cent of the wine on the coast. In
this way the dealers will exercise care
in their purchases, as they will know
that the same wine will not be sold later
at a lower price.

THE ARMY WAS NOT
GIVEN CREDIT

New York, Feb. "A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: While
admitting that no formal tender Of
thanks was given to General Shafter for
accomplishing the exchange Of Naval
Constructor Hobson and the crew of the
Merrimac, officials Of the navy depart
ment profess that proper credit has al
ways been given to him for his action.
Their declarations are in answer to Cen
eral Skaters statement in his article
in the current number of a monthly mag
azine that 1.-The fact hat they We're re-
leased by the army has never been ac-
knOwledged by officers of the navy, who
simply speak of Mr.. Hobson's return to
duty" 1t is true, so far as the published
reports of Rear Admiral Sampson show,
that he did not refer to Genera Shafter
or the army in announcing Hobson's re-
lease to the navy department.. Friction
between the army and navy commanders
at Santiago was too evident to permit
any c~ommendatOry reports of General
Skaters efforts to be made, but ava
officers say the army nevertheless has
always been given full credit for this act
of humanity.

The CONSULS
IN SAMOA
Have Had a COllisi III of Author

GERMANS WERE THE CAUSE
And Now There is Friction All Around
mo Further Fighting
Among Natives
WERE THE CAUSE

Auckland, N. T., Feb. 1.-The following
advices have just been received here from
Apia, Samoan islands, under date of Jan.
"a, from the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press:
There has been no further general fight
ing between the partlsans of the rival
chleftainS since the last adVlceS were
forwarded, except that a party Of Ma
taafa's followers was routed IN the bush
by Malieotans. 1t is expected, however,
that fighting will be resumed as Mataafa
is arresting persons who have been al
ready fined and released. The work of
pillage continues, among the houses loot
Cd being Valllma, the home OF the late
Robert Louis Stevenson, the novelist.
The eXiled Malieotan chiefs were landed
at Page Page, on the island of Tutullla,
the schooner on which they We're beng
carried being unable to proceed to the IS
land of Manua, owing to adverse winds.
The Tutuili0nS gave them a hearty well
come and made an attempt to seize Ma
taafa's sOn who vas on board the SchOOn-
er, but zee captain put to sea.
There has been a collision of authority
between Chief Justice William l.. Cham
mes Raffel, the German president of the
municipality of Apia. Herr Grosmuhl, a
German resident of Apia, who was
arrested for smashing the windows OF the
supreme court chamber, was sentenced
by thec chief justice to imprisonment and
pay a fine. DR.. Raffel instructed the po-
lice authorities to release Herr Grosmuhl,
whose fine was subsequently fixed at
81, 900.
The German consul, Herr Rose, there
upon wrote to the American consul,
Lloyd w. Osborne, and the British consul,
E. B. S. MaXse, protesting that the action
of the chief justice in fining Herr Gros-
muhl was an infringement Of German
consular rights. Messrs. Osborn and
MaXse jointly replied in their official ca
pacity hat the proper tribunal having
deal with the matter the consuls could
not interfere. More than this, they de-
clined to W further intercourse with
the German consul or the German NUM-
cipal president, except in writing, or to
attend meetings, except to consider the
acts of the municipal counci of Apia, un-
less an apology with full retractiOn were
offered for the behavior toward Chief
Justice Chambers. At the same time the
supreme court summoned DR.. Raffel for
contempt of court in releasing Herr Gros-
muhl.

COSTLY LEATHER.

The leather which is used to tip the
hammers of the best pianos is of a re-
markedly soft quality. 1t is prepared by
a family of tanners in Thuringia, Ger

of which they alone possess. The skins
are procured in this country from one
kind of deer-the gray deer of the north

useless. An agency in Minneapolis sup
plies the German tanners with the hides,
and they are such good customers that
they have no others.
