Tart Reply of Gotham Newspaper ts
Critic.
From the New York Times: An ami.
able friend writes to us, lanenting
what he mistakingly calls the "unkind.
ness of certain remarks about Boston
that have appeared in this column
from time to time since the war with
Spain began. His letter closes with
the words: Boston is the Athens OF
America; you can't deny that" Per"
haps we don't want to. Let's see.
Athens, like Boston, is city with a
great and glorious-past. Athens, like
Boston, more or less has produced
many illustrious sons-soldiers and
sailors of dauntless courage, philoso-
piers with mighty minds, statesmen
able to found nations in deserts, poets.
sculptors, painters, architects, with
whom rivalry seems almost hopeless.
The world famed Athenians, like the
world famed Bostonians, are all dead.
and report hath it that in each of these
towns the ghosts regard the living
population with a CONSERVATION verg-
ing on despair, and give it lots of room
on the sidewalk. Considering all this
We are willing to admit our amiabIe
friends contention, if he really wants
us to do so, and even to put his asser-
ton in the most explicit form. Bos-
ton was to America what Athens was
to Greece; Boston is to America what
Athens is to Greece. Now, is he con-
tent, or does he realize that his plea
was decidedly more "unkind" than our
criticisms?

1ANGDoN BOY SHOT.
HTommy" Reid Mixed Up in Shooting
Scrape Out in Montana.

Langdon people learned through the
telegraphic columns of the state dailies
Tuesday that Tommy Reid, former
Lsngdon boy, was among the victims III
a mix-up that occurred last Sunday
night at Culbertson. Mont, between q
party of c"w boys, of whom Reid was
one, and the local authorities. Accord
ing to report tho boys were in town on q
spree, during which they came in contact
with the citizens and local authorities.
The town is run on thoroughly wide
open western plan, whiskey had flown
freely and the bad feeling that has
existed for years between the cowboys
and the people Of Culbertson accounts
for the shooting that followed. Several
OF the citizens were wounded, while
Nolan Armstrong, one of Reid's compan-
ions was shot dead. Tommy Reid is
about twenty years old and was resi-
dent of Langdon up to five years ago
when he went to the Mouse River
country to work on horse ranch,
gradually drifting further west into the
cattle country. Until the event of the
past week he had not been heard from
for long time by his father, John q.
Reid, one of the old residents here. In
response to inquiries bv wire the doctor
at Culbertson states that Reid's wounds
although severe are not necessarily
dangerous.

FELL DOWN
THE WELL
Narrow Escape Of an EmpIoys
Of tho Cold Storage Ware
house This Morning.

Norman Cormack. OF $40 Atwell's ave-
nue., is at the Rhode Island hospital suf-
fering with a broken ankle and nasty
cut on his left leg but he feels as II he
had much 10 be thankful for, from the
fact that he is living.
Just before 5 o'clock this morning. he
fell down one of the four elevator wells
at the Cold Storage building on Kinsley
avenue. and was not so badly injured. but
what he could crawl UP two flights of
stairs.
He then lay down upon a four-wheelcd
truck where he was found by his fellow
workmen
As near as can be learned, Cormack,
who has been employed there for a year
or more, went 10 the elevator and pulled
one OF the ropes and, as'he supposed. that
the elevator was above him. laid his
arms over the small automatic gate and
was taking life easy.
But IL proved that the elevator was be-
low him, and when the automatic gate
began to move up. Cormack sprang back.
and was somewhat alarmed, and before
he got his balance. the gate and elevator
had passed by.and he fell forward into
the well.
There was no one on the floor with him,
so nobody knew that he had fallen.
how he managed 10 crawl from sub-cel-
lar to the second story is not explained.
Nor is the fact that he went by the Office
door where he could have received assist
ance at once.

REVENUE
WAR TAX
REVISION.
Ways and Means Committee
Republicans Discuss the Mat
ter in All Its Bearings.

Washington, Nov. 2l.-The Republican
members of the ways and means commit
tee met to consider a measure for the re-
duction OF the war revenue tax.
The most important action taken was a
decision not to remove the tax OF 10 cents
a pound on tea. The committee will not
take up or disturb the tariff on imports,
as, the members claim. II would open up
the whole subject of tariff revision.
The committee will not grant any
hearings while framing the bill. as full
hearings were given during the last ses-
sion of congress and since then briefs
and statements of various interests have
been received.
Parties who are interested. however.
can file briefs or statements with the
committee.
The session was devoted mainly TO a
general discussion and no agreement
has been reached upon any of he
schedules
The discussion indicated that the COM
mittee favored quite a change In this
feature of the law and reductions wher-
ever possible. The committee also de-
sires 10 eliminate the taxes on convey
ances, of which there has been a great
deal of complaint.
IL can be stated that In a general way
IL will be the aim of the committee TO
abolish the most burdensome taxes ana
TO grant relief from stamp taxes as far
as possible.
The committee late I'm the day called
on the president to obtain his views on
the proposed reduction
After there has been a general inter-
change OF opinion on the proposed re-
duction IL is quite likely that sub-com-
mittee will. be appointed TO draft a
measure.
II Is not believed the bill can be pre-
pared and ready for the full committee
until the session begins. The measure
after IL is agreed upon by the Republicans
will he submitted 10 the Democrats OF the
committee.
President Mckinley believes the sur
plus I'm the treasury is accommodating too
rapidly and that the conservative reduce
tion may be made safely or the taxes en-
tirely removed In some instances.
The Republican members say they will
be able To agree In a very few days ON the
general line of changes to be made.
