! house he went in TO reassure the family,
| and did not see the blow struck.
Policeman Barbee, who made the arrest
! testified that when he arrested Furnace
| the latter said: II haven't killed anyone;
| only hit a man in the jaw"
Mr.. G. c. Whiting. who lives at 1913
/ G Street northwest, was able TO identify
I Furnace as the man who came to his house
! and rang the door bell on the night OF
| the assault.
DR.. Ohio Muncaster who attended General
| Greedy Immediately alter he was injured
said that he found him suffering from 4
bruise on the mouth and two severe con-
tusIons OF the head. In answer TO ques-
tion as TO whether General Greedy was out
of danger or not he said that that was Il
question he could not answer. as it was
impossible to tell what the after effects
OF an injury to the head would be.
Mr.. Edward Keefer testified that two men
came to his house on the Sunday evening
in question and asked him the location Of
the Portland fats. He said that they were
both under the influence of liquor.
Charles Binn, who detained Furnace and
turned him over to Policeman Barbee, tes-
titled that Furnace was intoxicated and
wanted TO fight.
Judge Kimball here said that sufficient
evidence had been brought before the
court.
Mr.. Smith counsel for Furnace, said that
his client did not care to make a state
ment That he (Furnace) felt keenly the
injury he had done and had made every
reparation in his power. The young man
had never been in trouble before said Mr.
Smith. and was absolutely oblivious of
what. had occurred on the evening of jan
uary 9.
Furnace. he said. had never before
been arrested and had always borne an ex-
cellent reputation. His client was still an
employe of the Adams Express Company,
he said and had occupied a position OF
trust and honor
I'VE are not here said Mr.. Smith, Ito
say that he did not hit General Greedy, be-
cause my client is unable to deny or affirm
the charge but Is prepared to enter into
a solemn pledge to abstain from the use OF
intoxicating beverages"
Mr.. Smith then asked General Greedy II
he had any objection to the court extend
ing mercy TO the prisoner.
General GReely replied that he had no
personal feeling against the defendant,
but that all he desired was that the peo-
pie of Washington should be protected
against similar occurrences. The pain
and dlscomforts that / have suffered have
nothing to do with my feelings in the
matter" he said, but if what has been
said of the young mans previous good
character is trne / have no desire to ruin
his life
In summing up the testimony Judge
Kimball said that he had two duties to
perform First. the duty toward the COM
munity. which was paramount, he said
and the duty toward the defendant.
Drunken men are responsible for their
actions, he said. but all that the court
desires is that the citizens OF Washing
ton be protected.
Judge Kimball then imposed the fine Of
$3.50.
He said that he would be willing to let
counsel put in a plea for a reduction Of
the sentence, but that it would have TO be
made before Saturday.

HIGHPRICE OF PAPER.
TARIFF TAX ON WOOD PULP A
COSTLY ONE.
may Compel Subscribers 10 Fay More
for Their Country Newspaper - The
Cry for Its Instant Repeal IN VEG
Loud-PRpor TruSt Robbery.

There are very conclusive reasons
why the present tariff tax on wood
pulp and printing paper should be re-
pealed, and there Is no reason in the
interest OF American industry that
pleads for the continuance OF these
taxes, They are now simply an ele-
ment Of robbery under color OF law,
and they should be eifaced from our
statutes.
The paper trust ls now taxing the
newspaper and book publishers Of the
country many millions, not because OF
any such actual Increase In the cost OF
producing paper, but because the trust
has the power TO extort from the pur-
chasers Of paper up to the extent that
would make tarlff-taxed foreign paper
and pulp cheaper than the prices de-
manded here, This trust has played Ito
scheme OF eYtorton to the uttermost,
and congress should at once remove
the tax that protects no American In
dustry and that has become only an
agent to rob the consumers,
Two-thlrds OF the wood pulp used In
the manufacture OF paper for American
consumption should come from Can
ada, but II Is excluded by tarlif tax,
and we are now rushing headlong In
the destruction OF our forests, while
Canada, with It's almost llmitless sup
ply of timber, cannot reach our mar
kets because OF the tax imposed by
the tarlff.
The two conclusive reasons which
should make congress act promptly are
first, that the paper trust should DO
at once halted In Its rapid destruction
OF our American forests by the admls-
sion Of free wood pulp from Canada;
and, second, that the present extortlon
practced by the paper trust upon pub
fishers OF newspapers and books shall
cease to have the protection OF the gov
eminent.
The time has come when any trust
that makes arbitrary pronts Dy IaVlh
duties must cease to be protected by
the government. Where American In
dustry needs protection It Is reason
able to permit 1t, but where alleged
protection is used only for systematic
robbery, 1t must be overthrown.
We can now manufacture paper as
cheaply as any country In the world.
There Is no excuse whatever for a tax
upon the manufactured articles, and
the raw material should be free, not
only because the general principle Is
correct, but because II It shall not be
done promptly our forests will be prac-
tlcally destroyed within n few years by
tariff taxes excluding the lumber OF
Canada from our markets,
Paper and pulp must BIO made free
OF all taxes,as the paper trust has DEM
onstrated that these taxes serve only a
single purpose-that is TO invite rob-
berry under color Of law Philadelphia

STORY OF A STAMP
Worth a Quarter, Then $1,000, Thon
WoRt Up In Smoke

Worth Quarter, Then $1,000, Then
WoRt Up In Smoke.
In the year 1851 q 12-penny black
Canadian postage stamp was printed
by the government at Ottawa. Tho
public did not regard this somber Is
sue with favor, and few were issued.
One Of these stamps was sent to the
Hamilton postofice, where 1t was sold
to an old man, who said 1t was a
shame to print the queens picture on
a stamp that might be handled by pro-
fame hands. Tenderly the man put 1t
on a parcel sending It to a friend in
the United States Here, in the waste
basket, 1t lay for many a day, till an
errand boy found 1t and qlckly trans
ferred 1t to his album. Despairlng Of
getting good collection, and his fe.
yer somewhat abating, he sold them TO
a dealer. The new dealer, on looking
at the catalogue, found that what he
had paid IS for was worth $25. Acct
dentally this stamp was slipped into
25-cent packet and sent to q dealer
residing In Hamilton. When the lat
ter opened the packet he was aston
ished to find such valuable stamp,
and, being honest, wrote his friend to
inform him Of what had happened Of
fering him 81 200 for 1t. The offer was
accepted, and the stamp again changed
hands. BY this time the stamp had
increased in value, and not a few came
from a distance to look at the treas
ure. One day an English nobleman
who, through friend had heard Of
the stamp, offered $1,000, which Offer
was accepted, The English lord, fall
ing In love with an American heress,
and wishing to gain the favor Of her
brother, presented him with the stamp
as token Of his esteem. Here, in It's
new and luxurious home, 1t came to a
sad end, for one day the maid by
mistake swept the stamp, which had
accidentally fallen out OF the album,
into the fire. In an instant the stamp,
which thousands had heard Of and
longed for, went up in smoke to the
broad, blue sky, leaving not a trace
behind.

mentioned that I attended the we'd
ding"
The words sounded 80 plain and
positive that doubt was no longer
possible, But Maxwell was now as
sailed with questions from all sides.
Everybody pressed forward, and he
found himself compelled TO relate
briefly what had happened.
"our return was accomplished with
out the least danger" he said, In con-
cluslon. I'm an elegant carriage and
accompanied by a lady, we were be-
yond the pale OF suspicion and reach
ed the outposts safely, where Lleuten-
ant Davis received us with the utmost
courtesy and went into raptures over
Mrs. Roland, But he is right. Will
liam Is q daredevil and incorrlglbly
obstinate, but we must admit that he
has good taste, His wife Ia charm
ing"
The last remark seemed to interest
the younger officers extremely. They
wanted to learn all sorts OF particulars
about Mrs, Roland and were greatly
disappointed when informed that tho
young bride was very much agltated
by her fathers death and probably
would see little OF her husbands COM
rades for some time,
"Ah, there comes William" he ex-
claimed, interrupting himself, Con
graduate him, He wears his new
dignity somewhat timidly"
II was really William, who had come
to report his return. He was warmly
greeted by all. The colonel especially
received him with great cordially,
Welcome, Lieutenant Roland! Here
you are at lastl Doctor Maxwell has
already told us the whole adventure
OF which you were the hero"
mot l but John Maxwell was the
hero" said William, holding out his
hand to his friend with ill-repressed
emotion. Had II not been for him,
should have lost happiness and life.
l shall never forget what he did to-
day."
Maxwell laughingly refused his
thanks.
Let that pass, VIII; we shall
wrangle again at the very next oppor-
tunity. Germans and Americans al
ways quarrel, and our armlstlce won't
last long. Today l risked my life for
you; tomorrow you will, perhaps per-
II yours for me; 80 we shall be quits.
AT any rate, you returned punctually
at sunset"
He pointed toward the window. Tho
sun was Just sinking below the horl-
zon, and Its last beams were fading.
Yes, | gave my word of honor that
| would do So" said William, with
the deepest earnestness. But that
kept twas able to keep til owe
to you alone"

Roland may be compelled to make a
circuit or walt for the darkness. Doc
tor Maxwell has not returned, either"
Maxwell is at the outposts; there
is no danger in that quarter. I am
glad that my fears concerning the fe-
yer proved groundless. The doctor
sent me the most reassurlng news"
Good evening, gentlemen" said a
familiar voice at the door. This SOL
emn assemblage is probably on ac-
count Of the victory of which l heard
on my arrival. 1t will give an unex-
pected turn to the campaign"
And a fortunate one," replied the
colonel, reckoning Maxwell to enter.

Maxwell, taking the proffered seat. 81

on the way back?"
mo. We returned from Springfield
together"
From Springfield? What were you
doing there?"
Very different things--some pleas
ant, some disagreeable. In the first
place, I had to bring Lieutenant Ro-
land from behind iron bars, then to
secure the worthy Mr.. Harrison, who
wished to brand us as spies; then to
subdue all Springfield, including
justice Of the peace, and, finally, to
act as best man-all in a single hour.

ed the utmost amount possible within
this brief time"
The officers glanced first at one an
other, then at the speaker whose love
OF banter they knew, and the colonel
said disapprovingly:
Don't jest, doctor. Such things
are no laughing matters. II Roland
Is really here, why doesn't he report
at once?"
Because he Is escorting Mrs. Ro-
land to his quarters. One can't blame
man who has been married only
three hours, II he cares first for his
young wife. He will be here pune
tually at sunset"
His wife? Do you mean Miss Har-

Pardon me, I mean Mrs. Roland,
