A PosTMAN INDICATED.
After Seven Years Chicago Carrier
Secures Rcinxtatement.

After seven years of patience and
steady endeavor to clear his name Henry
d. Tailman, formerly a letter-carrier at
the Chicago postoffice, was recently noti-
fled by the Postmaster General that he
had been reinstated as letter-carrier.
On August 81. 1891. Tallman, then a
newly appointed letter-carrier, was arrest
ed on his route by inspectors and lodged
in the county Jail OF Cook County, ILL
nois By a singular coincidence the tele-
gram from the Postmaster General an
nouncing his reinstatement was dated Au-
gust 81. 1901, or exactly seven years after
the date of the charge brought against
him. In Tallman's mail bag a decoy let
ter was placed addressed to a fictitious
person at a house in West Madison Street,
Chicago, and containing several 81 bills.
Unable to find the party addressed, the
carrier replaced the letter In his mail bag
and few minutes afterward was arrest
ed by the Inspectors. the letter confis-
Gated as evidence. and Tallman dis
charged from the service. AT his trial,
however, he was acquitted.
Although letters were secured from
Judge, jury, and the prosecuting attor-
ney in the trial. attesting their belief in
TallInan'S innocence, his appeal TO be re-
instated was disregarded. United States
Senator Mason, who was Tallman's at
torney. gave his assistance, but they were
met ut al times by the rule prohibiting
reiItste t"u1ents after a lapse OF one year.
The at-al. Zen of the rule last year by
Pcstu.Si General Smith opened the
WIZ n Tallman to establish his inno-
ceuc - everybodyS satisfaction.

THE NEW GERMAN TARIFF.
A Copy of the Draft Seat to the State
Department.

The State Department is in receipt of a
communication from Andrew d. White
the United States Ambassador to Ger
many, including n copy of the draft of
the proposed new German tariff; also
transations of clippings from the ''Nord
deutsche AlIgemeine Zeitung," compar-
ing the various duti.<ss as at present in
force with those in the proposed tariff
The new tariff includer ,s4 pages of mat
ter. as against &c pages in the present
tariff. with II heading and s46 subhead
ings. The arrangement Is by subjects in
stead of alphabetical The duty on wheat,
rye, oats, and barley, says Mr.. White, is,
roughly, double what 1t is at present
Vegetables and flowers are free. The
duty on bulls and cows is s5.95, and on
calves 80 cents each, or three times the
present duty. An entirely new principle
has been adopted regarding the duty on
cattle for slaughter; the tax will be cal
culated from the living weight and will be
81. the double hundredweight (dopple
zentner-22o.4 .46 pounds) for oxen, and s. IS
for swine. The duty en- meat and lard is
raised to s7.Ii the double hundredweight,
double the present treaty tariff and half
as much again as the present ''autono-
nous tariff.
Upon eggs, the present treaty tariff is
trebled and the autonomous tariff is
doubled The duty on woods is raised 50
per cent on an average The duty on tex
tiles remains the same; on leather, boots
and shoes it is largely increased, as well
as on Indian corn, sausage, poultry, and
-four of all kinds.
After giving the list, Mr. White adds:
1t must not be forgotten that the
measure has not yet been discussed by
the Federal Council G3undesrath). and
consequently that it is not at all certain
that the provisions of the bill itself or
the items of the tariff will remain un-
changed in the measure, as it Is eventual
ly presented to the Reichstag. AS the
matter stands. this draft of the bill has
been submitted to the several Govern
ments for consideration, and it is quite
possible that material alterations may be
made in 1t before II comes before the

a majestic oak could be seen two young
men. in the early bloom of manhood stu
dents of the law and devoted friends. The
one was Thomas Jefferson and the other
Dabney Carr. There they studied togeth-
er and there they made solemn compact
that beneath that oak should be their
burial place. Dabney Carr died first. He
married Martha. sister of Thomas Jeffer-
son, and eight years later, at the very
commencement of what promised to be
a brilliant career died, leaving to the
care of his distinguished brother-in-law
widow and six children. Fifty-three years
later, after forty-four years in public
service, Thomas Jefferson died and was
buried beside his boyhood friend under
the great oak. Among his papers after
death was found rough sketch in ink
of an obelisk, together with this inscrip-
ton for marble tablet:

that she had felt little sympathy for for
