Washington, Nov. 22. - The Re-
publican members of the Ways and
Means Committee today decided to

prepared some time before that. Com
missioner Wilson, of the Internal Rev
enue Bureau, was before the commit
tee today, giving information concern
ing the effect of the reduction of GER
tain schedules and also as to the
amount OF revenue raised by portions
of the present law which 1t is pro.
posed to reduce.
The committee has made such salts
factory progress with the bill that on.
ly details now remain to be consider.
ed. The members of the committee
amer adjournment this afternoon said
they believed there would be no diff,
Guilty when the bill was presented in
the full committee or in the house,
either among Democrats or Republi-
cans. Although they have not con.
suited the Democratic members, 1t Is
understood from information some Of
the Republicans have that the Demo-
Gratis do not intend to make any fac.
tious opposition to the measure.

'I suppose" said a government clerk

have heard of the Virginia family of

Of England, but / came across one the
other day that Ill bet hat you never
heard Of. The subject of the sketch
was virginian or claimed that he
was, and he was so youthful and un-
sophisticated that 1 guess he was tell
ing the truth. Children and fools, you
know, have weakness in that regard.
II met the young fellow on a train
between Richmond and Petersburg,
and we struck up quite an acqualnt-
ance. He told me his name was Tolll-
ver-Oliver Tolliver-and / very natu-
rally asked him if he spelled his name
as did the famous +. f. V. Taliaferros,
and he said he did and seemed to be
proud of it. l was rather proud to be
friendly with one of the name myself
and made myself extra agreeable.
when he left me at way station
and babe me goodby. he rendered me
his card and told me he hoped would
not forget him. l didn't look at the
card till he had gone. and, would you
believe 1t, the young fellow had his
name spelled to match, as it We're, and
it appeared thus, Mr.. Aliaferro Talia-
ferro, which, in my humble opinion,
was getting Oliver Tolliyer down pret-
ty fine. Don't you think so too?"-
