FOR ABOLITION OF TAX STAMPS.
Memorial from New York Merchants
Received in Washington.

| Memorial from New York Merchants
Received in Washington.
Washington, April 19.-Chairman
Payne of the house committee on ways
and means to-day received memorial
from the Merchants association of New
York which will be presented to the
committee tomorrow. 1t is an appeal
for the abolition Of the stamp taxes on
express shipments, railroad and steam
boat shipments and kilograms. The
petitioners state that they represent
fourteen hundred business firms in New
York city giving employment to several
hundred thousand wage-earners, besides
nonresident membership of thirty
thousand other business firms distrib-
uted throughout the United States.
The memorial complains at consider
able length of the oppressive charges
eXacted by express companies, speaking
OF them in strong terms as 'monopolies
of quasipub]ic function, beyond the
reach of competition or the control of
the interstate commerce commission to
which other common carriers are sub
jec.ed.n
1t is stated that the charges enacted
to certain classes Of mercantile business
and that to this the express companies
add the stamp tax, placing 1t on the
shipper with the sanction of the SUI
preme court.
The petition says: Express charges
upon shipments in some cases equal the
value of the goods. In an average Of
several thousand cases collated by this
association the express charges We're
more than the profit upon the article
shipped and were found to average in
the classes of goods most frequently
shipped by express from six per cent to
ten per cent of the value.
Our investigations have shown wide
determinations in the charges imposed,
favored classes of shippers who are per-
mitted lesser rates than other classes;
cumulative charges; differing charges
for identical services and other varia-
lions the effect Of which is destructive"
The petitioners, in conclusion ask
that the stamp tax on express ship
ments be either abolished or removed
from the shipper and placed in a lump
sum on the express companies, and they
further request the abolition of the
stamp tax on railroad and steamship
shipments and on telegrams.

-FOUR CONTRACTS AWARDED
FOR THE ERECTION OF THE NEW
C.aNNER STREET SCHOOL.
Contract for Heating and Ventiiating
Held Back-EuIIer s. Warren Com
pany's Bid Protested by shschah -


eide.
With one exception the committee or
school buildings last evening awarded
the contract for the erection of the new
Gamer street school building to the
lowest bidders. The exception MADE
was in the contract for heating anc
ventilating, which, in consequence OF q
protest from the firm of Sheahan &
Groark, was not awarded. A letter
printed below explains the action of the
committee in the matter.
The lowest bid for the work of heat
ing and ventilating the new school was
made by an out of town concern, the
Fuller & Warren company. Their bio
and the other bids made for this work
were as follows: Sheahan e Groark
SO, 500, 1892; Rourke Brothers. $500
$4,126; the Fuller & Warren Co., $2,S9S,
$780, BY this it will be seen that the
bid made by the Fuller & Warren Co
was $500 lower than the others. Sheahan
& Groark's protest was made against
their bid on the following grounds: The
specifications provide for special style
of ventilator which is manufactured by
the Fuller & Warren Co. Local firms
procured prices from the manufacturers
for a ventilator and submitted their
bids to the board 1t developed at the
meeting Wednesday evening that the
manufacturers had sent in bid at a
figure less than the local firms. 1t was
tI,o he cf
Germ had employed unfair means to OBJ
tain the contract and objected to the
granting of the contract to them.
The board took the matter under con-
sideration and deferred the awarding of
the contracts until last evening, when,
after a long discussion of the matter,
the following letter was sent to the pro-
testing firm:
Office of the Board Of Education,
New Haven, Conn, April 10, 1900.
Messrs. Sheahan & Groark:
Gentlemen: In recognition Of your
protest and of the protest of those pres
ent with you at the meeting this after
noon Of the building committee of the
board of education, that the awarding
of the heating contract to The Fuller
& Warren company would be IN your
opinion Illegal and of your request that
the question of its illegality be referred
to the honorable corporation counsel, we
would hereby request that you present
this request in writing with a statement
of why in your opinion the award Of
this contract would be illegal and the
board of education warranted in reject
ing the bid of The Fuller & Warren
(who were the lowest respon-
sible bidders) and advertising for new
bids.
Upon receipt of the same, with your
signature and the signatures of those
present with you at the meeting alluded
to above, we will submit the request to
the corporation counsel for his opinion,
whose decision you have stated would
be entirely satisfactory to you.

BECAME SUDDENLY INSANE.
VIM. O'Brien. Kenosha County Boy, Who
Started for Colorado, Became Insane.

News has been received in this city
that William O'Brien, a we'll known
young man of Brighton, this county, is
in an insane asylum at Kingsley,
Kansas. The young man left this city
on Tuesday week ago to go to Colo
RADIO, with the intention of buying
land and locating there. He had quite
sum of money in the bank and when
he left he took portion of it with him
to be used in the purchase.
At the time of his leaving home he
was perfectly sane and in the best of
spirits. On Thursday he had gone as
far as Kingsley, Kansas, when he be-
came violently insane on the train and
when the train pulled into the station
he was taken in charge by the sheriff
of the county. Papers on his person
disclosed his identity and his friends
and relatives in this county were mott
fed as soon as possible of his misfor-
tune. When the letter was written the
sheriff made no mention of finding any
money on his person and it was
thought possible that the young man
had been robbed. He was sober and
industrious and his friends can assign
no reason for going insane unless it
was the fact that he had lost his money
in some manner.
Deputy Sheriff Charles Ball, of Ra-
cine county, started for Kansas last
night and will return with the young
man to this county. It is said that
when O'Brien became insane he suffer
ed from great halucinations. He
thought that the conductor was in a
league with a band of robbers, who
were after him and in his terror he
1eaped from the train and ran into a
barb wire fence. He was badly INJURED
but he managed to get away from the
officers who were after him and ran
about ninety miles before he was cap
tured. Since he was returned to the
Kansas city it is said that he has par
TALLY recovered from the spell.

A BUSINESS WOMAN.
Members of the Ken0sha W0man's Club
Discuss the Relation of Woman
and Business Education.
WHAT A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW
Mrs Ezra Simmons Read an Interesting
Paper on the Things That Business
woman Should Know ana Learn.

Wednesday afternoon the Woman's
Club held one of the meetings for
which the Club is justly growing ia
nous. In spite of the stormy weather
there were large number of ladies IN
attendance and ali went away more
than ever interested in the practical
side of life.
The Club has reached its member
ship limit of seventy-five and a wait
ing list has been started. No one
who has never been present and heard
the lively, earnest and pointed discus
sions of the ladies can realize what the
Club is doing in Kenosha. There is
not a household represented IN the
Club which does not receive benefit
and an impetus toward a healthier,
happier and more progressive way OF
living.
The subject of the essay was, Chow
much business knowledge ought a
woman to have and how should she
obtain it;'' the essayist, Mrs. Ezra
Simmons. Mrs. Simmons remarked
that Our Mother Eve was under dis
advantage in not having a paternal
side of the house from which to inherit
business talents and propensities; and
that in her first business venture,
over-persuaded by willy tongue, her
lack of training and experience ended
disastrously.
Very few girls receive any training
at ali in business lines, and yet there
has never been a time when it was so
necessary, when young girls and mar
ried women are so frequently thrown
on their own resources by some freak
of fate or fortune. The business edu-
cation should, like charity, begin at
home; but, like charity, need not end
there.
Business, or busy-ness, in all it's
forms in a woman's life should not be
neglected, and to save many painful
mistake or failure little preparation
almost unconscious1y obtained would
be all that was necessary. Economy
and saving in strength and time as
we'll as money was recommended IN
the training of our girls.
The married woman earns her share
of the money as truly in the oversight
of house and family, as the man in the
office down town, but she is often less
regularly and less cheerfu1ly paid than
the servant in the kitchen, yet husband
and wife are both working with the
same aim.
The woman who has some knowledge
l. ~
her husband, and as such is more fully
appreciated by the thoughtful man,
who will do all he can to instruct her
where she is lacking.
The long and earnest discussion
which followed showed how closely
the subject touched upon our interests
and during the tea hour and on the
way home the various questions were
as ardent1y discussed.

A GREWSOME MEAL.
West Side Resident Paws His Election
Wager in Presence of Friends.

AS the result of the election most
peculiar banquet was served out in the
Western part of the city Wednesday
night.
Some time before the election two
we'll known men of the West side who
supported the rival candidates, got to-
gether and made bet on the result.
Each agreed to eat a fried rat if the
candidate for the presidency whom
they opposed was elected. Of course,
the Democrat lost, and the banquet
was served last night. The rat, which
had been caught some days ago, had
been kept in waiting.
The rat was skinned and cleaned and
then baked by tke wife of the winner
of the bet. While the friends of the
men waited around the table the rat
was served up with all the accompani-
ments. The loser ate his rather pecu-
liar repast without kick and after the
last bone had been gnawed clean he
said that he had enjoyed the dainty
morse1 intensely.
