COFFEE PROTECTION.

Action Of municipal governments
in Porto Rico in levying prohibitory
excise taxes upon imported coffee is an
expedient that, if adopted at all the
ports of the island, might afford To-
cal solution of problem that will re-
ceive the attention of congress at its
next session. But it is doubtful wheth-
er similar local legislation could meet
the demand of Hawaii for protection
for its home coffee growers. Under the
decision of the supreme court, con-
gress would have power to enact du-
ties upon any imports into these terri
torial possessions. The problem sug-
gests an interesting illustration of tho
theory of protective tariff. Coffee
enters the United States free, because
we do not raise the bean ourselves.
But now we have acquired islands
where coffee-growing is profitable in
dustry, threatened by a cheaper foreign
product. There is direct invitation
to apply locally the benefit of protec'
tion.-New York Mail and Express.

Silent Eree.Wnolera.

Wooden mills are crowded with. or
ders, even the smaller concerns par
ticipating, and the wool market IL
steady, despite weakness abroad
From R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly re
view, August 81.
At the east the features are the
heavy demand for wool at firm prices
at New York, Philadelphia and Bos'
ton, and the expansion in dry goods
demand at those same cities.-From
Bradstreet's weekly review, August 81
1t has taken longer for the wool and
wooden market to recover from the in
jury of free trade than other indus
tries, but now, despite the low prices
abroad, our wool market is firm ano
steady and the outlook for the wooler
trade is better than for years. The

NEW YORK CUSTOMS FRAUDS.

The frauds recently unearthed In the
appraisers Office at New York are be-
lieved to have robbed the government
of nearly 100000. For months 1t has
been noticed that certain importers OF
Japanese wash silks in New York could
sell these goods below what would be
the legitimate cost II the duties were
paid. Chicago importers suspect dis
honesty on the part of their New York
rivals and set trap to convict the
guilty parties. This measure of self
protection has resulted in stopping
conspiracy Of fraud which was cheat
ing the government out Of enormous
sums annually.
The Chicago merchants believed
there were dishonest officials in the ap
praisers Office at New York who were
in collision with dishonest Importer
in that city. To test their theory they
refused to pay the duty on thirty cases
of silk in the Chicago custom house
and had them reshipped to New York
on some pretext, with the result that
the whole system of fraud has since
been unearthed. The dishonest prac'
tees in this case are the more mex
cusable because there is no opportuni'
ty for error as to the amount Of tho
duties. The customs charges on silks
are levied according to the weight of
the goods in pounds. There is no ex-
cuse for a clerk who makes an under
appraisement of goods subject to spe-
cific duties by the pound or yard.
When goods are taxed on the ad valo-
rem basis the importer may be tempt
ed to undervalue his goods in order to
reduce the duty, and the appraiser may
be deceived. Frauds of that kind are
frequent and hard to get at, but the
silk frauds are more daring and I'M

.Other Peoples Money

A leading magazine repeats the
story of a Vermont farmer, who,
on visit to city relatives, is taken
to hear q celebrated actor and
company. On being asked his
opinion of the acting, he replied:
Acting! they didn't do no acting,
they were just like home folks.
Why down in my part of the
country people do that sort of
thing every night" Itis needless
to remark that more sincere praise
could not be asked by an actor. 1t
is this same absence of acting
which characterizes the methods
of Hennessy Leroyle in "Other

ton and experience of the better
school of art, though comparative
ly young in years, he has evolved
a bit of character work in the
above production, which, in its
way, is inimitable. Go and see

Birthday Party.

Although old Boreas blew a
piping blast and shook his white
name in a most majestic manner,
he did not prevent the twenty boys
and girls whom Harlan Amen had
invited to help celebrate his birth
day from putting in their appear
ance about 1880 last evening. The
storm rather added zest to the
trip. The evening was spent with
crokinole, anagrams and kindred
games. As the boys outnumbered
the girls David Moore took the
part off a girl in the games.
When the scores were counted it
was found David was the best girl
in the crowd and was entitled to
the lady's prize. Harold Cook
had won the boys trophy. Har-
Ian was too gallant to allow the
young ladies to be thus left behind
in the race and decided an addi-
tional prize must be given to the
lady having the highest score.
Miss Ada Beagle was the fortunate
one. The boys received neatly
bound books and Miss Ada was
awarded pretty china cup and
saucer. About 8 o'clock a splendid
repast was served, made up of the
very things most pleasing to the
appetites of boys and girls. Miss
Edith played "big sister" to per-
fection and did very much to Lelp
the young people have the per-
fectly glorious time they had. At
10 O'Clock the snow balling began
and continued until every one was
safe in the home nest.

Burlington Buys Fifty En-
gin0S.

Announcement has been made of
the fac. that the Schenectady locomotive
works have secured the patent right
to build railroad engines of the So
called prairie type. In this same con-
nectlon the Burlington management
has given an order for fifty engines at
q cost of Ss750,OUO. Back Of these facts
there is an interesting story, which
tells how Chicago railroad man has
made a reputation and is now assured
of handsome fortune. 1t will be
news to every railroad man outside of
the Burlington's Chicago offices that
the prairie type of engine, which is
now being used by half dozen rail-
roads, is the invention of Frederick A.
Delano, superintendent of motive
power for the Burlington.
The prairie type of engine is simply
a machine with an exceedingly wide
lfirebox and an extra length of boiler.
Under the old type the limit in width
of the firebox was three feet and four
inches, while under the new limit it is
SIX feet. The patent for the type was
issued in January and as result sew
eral manufacturers had to settle for
having infringed upon the patent
Experiments made with the engine
disclose the fact that by its use there
is saving of fuel amounting to be-
tween 10 and 90 per cent. Owing to
this conservation of fuel and the
width of the firebox it is also possible
to get greater speed results.-Omaha
