Washington, Nov. 15.-The ltal ,idos-
cope has again turned and the status
of the Philippines has changed again
They have been out of the United
States for some purposes and In it, for
othersi they have been territories OF
the United States and on the sans
day have been colonial dependents.
Today they changed again.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Yerkes has reversed a former ruling
made by himself and has held that
whisky, beer and tobacco, withdrawn
for consumption in the Philippines.
shall be subject to the internal rev.
enue tax, thus holding that the Phil
ippines for internal revenue purposes
are domestic territory. The corten
ton of the government thus far has
been that in the matter of customs
duties the Philippines were foreign ter
ritory. This means heavy tax on
liquor and tobacco going to. the Phil
ippines.

The Mckinley block, southeast cor
ner of the public square, is familiar
to every one in Canton, and multitudes
outside of the city. That same cor
ner fifty and sixty years ago was well
known as the Hazlett corner. James
Hazlett built fine two-story brick
building there about eighty years ago,
which Is shown in our illustration.
IN the corner room next to the square
was the store room where James Haz-
lett kept store for quite numbe.'
Of years. 1t was called dry goods
store, but all the stores in the early
days kept some groceries, hardware
and crockery in connection with the
general stock of dry goods, and thev
also took in exchange for goods coun-
try produce, such as butter, eggs, lard,
end the smaller products of the farm.
Mr.. Hazlett also bought a great many
hides and skins, as he conducted q
tan yard. This tan yard was located
one square east of his store and resi-
dence. where Faar's blacksmith shop
Is now located. The yard took UP one
whole lot 66x200 feet running from
Iiedmont street to Walnut.
The two-story frame building used
I'm connection with the tanning busi-
hess was for many years thereafter
used by the late Robert Latimer as

was afterwards moved back farther on
Piedmont street and converted into a
dwelling house, owned and occupied
quite while by Adam Thorn. 1t has

the present political units OF central

three great units-C China, Russia and
America. When China was equipped

that she had the most capable mer-

Great Suffering
Northern Indians

TACOMA, Sept. 6.-Bishop Peter f..
Rowe of the Episcopal Church in Alas
ka has returned to Sitka from four.
teen-months' trip to the farthest wilds
OF Northern Alaska. During this time
he has wandered along the Artic shores,
traversed Bering Sea, journeyed down
the entire Yukon, and, with dog team
and snow shoes, tramped over 1900 miles
of frozen river and snowy forests. His
object was to spread the gospel of mercy
among the Alaskan Indians, who have
been dying by tens and scores during
past two years. Bishop Rowe pronounces
their affliction the grip, and says that it
has not been caused. as some supposed,
by the incoming OF white men and the
purchase of the fur robes and clothing
which the Indians formerly posse ssed.
In the large Indian village of Port
Clarence Bishop Rowe found only few
Inhabitants still alive, while the dead
were lying everywhere unburicd. Among
the dead was a native who had been en-
trusted with herd of 500 reindeer be-
longing to himself and friends. After
his death white men endeavored to get
possession OF the herd. and would have
