GERMAN TARIFF

On American Imports Largely Adj
ynnced-A Consular Report.
WASHINGTON August 22.-The
State Department has received from
Consul General Mason, at Berlin, a
long report, setting forth in detail the
features of the proposed new German
tariff which will most mater, ally affect
United States products By far the
most important of these Is noted in the
advances of from so to 300 per cent
in the rates on food materials, meats
and live animals. The present treaty
rate on wheat of SO cents would be in
creased. under the new bill, to s1.54 per
100 Kilograms The United States sent
465 1913 metric tons of this commodity
to Germany last year.
AS to American manufactures, the
most notable advances made by the
new bill are in the rates on bicycles
and shoes. An American bicycle
weighing about % pounds, would pay
s3.57 import duty. instead of about
Slips. as at present. Shoes would pay
about double present rates. Mr.. Mason
states that public discussion of the
tariff measure is confined to two points
the alleged inadequacy of the pro-
posed duties on manufactured products
and the effect which the heavy advances
in the rates on food materials will have
upon the non agricultural population oil

plete Frank &. Vetter, postal clerk,
went to the hospital year ago, an
almost hopeless invalid. He seemed to
grow steadily worse. A month or two
after his arrival at the hospital new

Theresa A. Burwell, of Canton, o. She
was in the corridor of the hospital in
an invalid chair when Vetter saw her,
and he stopped to pick up a paper she
had dropped The smile that rewarded
him caught his attention at once, and
, he attached himself to her as her con-
slant companion so far as the rules of
the hospital would permit
Their wheeled chairs stood side by
side for hours. 1t was not long before
the hospital doctors and nurses noticed
an improvement in the patients and
smiled, although both had been listed
as hopeless cases. The infatuation of
the patients for each other grew, but
neither was willing that their parents
should know of it. So when they were
well enough to leave the hospital last
May, the first thing they did was to get
married by Rev. Father o'Reilly, of

Baxter Returns From ExamIng Schools
In New Country.

Baxter has returned from a trip through
the new country where he looked after
the schools which are being started
there. The comfy superintendents are
working hard 70 get a school system
and in many cases the attendance is
quite large
According to his statements the peo-
ple favor the idea Of having school
houses erected as soon as possible out or
the fund derived from the sale of lots
in tho government towns. The plan dis
cussed by territorial officials was TO
erect 100 school houses in 100 districts
i'm the new country. each scnool house TO
cost $50o In addition TO these school
houses three county high, schools were
to be erected at a cost of $1,000 each.
This would not take 4 great amount Of
money and whe ntaken from the i'm
rnense amount of money secured from
the sale of town lots would leave large
amount Of money ia store for the people
Of the new country for other improve
mCnts It is probable that the plan viii
be submitted 10 the interior department
within a shcrt time in order that 8 de-
cision may be reached. Auditor Baxter
found many interesting things In the
new country and he was impressed with
the amount Of business being done in the
