DISCUSSED BY CABINET.
Decisions of Supreme Court in In
suIar Cases Quite Satisfactory
to Government

Washington, Dec. 4.-The cabinet
meeting Tuesday was principally con-
sumed in a discussion of the insular
decisions handed down Monday by the
supreme court. On the whole it is
believed the views of the majority of
the court were quite satisfactory to
the administration. 1t was pointed
out that the ultimate results of the
decisions are in measure speculative
at present with the exception that
the customs duties collected in this
country on goods shipped from the
Philippines since the ratification of the
Paris treaty will have to be refunded.
It is not thought, however, that the
aggregate will be large and Secretary
Gage expects that it will be within
81 100000 He called attention to the
fact that the great bulk of the i'm
ports from the Philippines were adj
mitted free of duty under our gen.
eral tariff laws, notably hemp, which
is one of the leading staples of the
islands.
The present tariff laws now in OPP
Grafton in the Philippines, Mr.. Gage
thinks, will need little or no revision.
1t was prepared after the most thor
ough and intelligent Investigate ton
and is said to be highly satisfactory
to the business interests of the is
lands. The preparation of tariff on
Philippine importations into the Unit
ed States, however, is expected to con-
sumo considerable of the time of con-
gress, but there is expectation that,
pending a final settlement of the ques-
ton, congress by joint resolution may
continue the duties imposed by the
Dingley tariff and thus, if it is so dis
posed, cut off a flood of imports which
might follow the announcement that
all duties were removed.
Manila. Dec 4-The local newspa-
pers published extras on the news OF
the United States supreme courts de;
cision that the Philippines were
American territory and that the i'm
position of duty on articles imported
into the United States from the Phil
ippines is improper. The decision
caused jubilation among the mer.
chants and the general public. Repre-
sentatives of the principal business
houses say it will revolutionize the
entire trade of the orient. Civil au-
thorities believe the law applies only
to goods going to the United States
and are anxiously awaiting an official
communication, since, if the decision
holds here, new means for obtaining
funds to run the government will be
necessary. Gen. Luke Wright, the
vice governor, thinks general revi-
sion of taxation is imperative.

Thrown from His Cab and
Killed.

The following is most interesting and, in
one respect, pathetic tale:-
Mr.. j. Pope, AZ Ferrar Road, Streatham,
said:
Eyes, poor chap, he is gone, dead-horse
bolted, thrown off his seat on his cab he was
driving and killed-poor chap, and a good
sort, too, mate. 1t was him, you see, who
gave me the half-bottle of St. Jacobs Oil
that made a new man of me- Twas like
this: me and Bowman were great friends.
Some gentleman had given him bottle of
st. Jacobs Oil which had done him lot
of good; he only used half the bottle, and
remembering that had been a martyr to
rheumatism and sciatica for years, that 1
had literally tried everything, had doc
tors, and all without benefit, l became dis
couraged, and looked upon it that there was
no help for me. WE'LL" said Pope. "You
may not believe me, for it is a miracle, but
before had used the contents of the half
bottle of st. Jacobs Oil which poor Bow
man gave me, was well man. There it is,
you see, after years of pain, after using rem
edies, oils, embrocations, horse liniments,
and spent money on doctors without get
ting any better, 1 was completely cured in
few days. 7 bought another bottle, think
ing the pain might come back, but it did
not, so | gave the bottle away to a friend
who had a lame back I can't speak too
highly of this wonderful pain-killer.

A windmill is apt to be a very
prosaic and ugly construction, but
many attempts have been made with
varying success to beautify these very
useful and economical power produc-
ers. Our engraving illustrates how
nature and mechanics are sometimes
blended. The trees serve only as a
support for the platform at the top,
and as side rails of ladder, it being
necessary only to provide rounds.
The trees serve also to stay the iron
supports. The windmill. which was

Law Is Valid.

The supreme court has sustained the
act of the legislature creating Gates
county. The opponents of the law
claimed the law was unconstitutional
because it contravened the apportion-
ment law of 1901, which went into eff
feet before the Gates county law, the
latter breaking county lines in the for
nation of assembly districts.
