Change In Presidents Signature.


Stress of business and the dearth of
time will lead to change in President
Roosevelt's signature, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch. He has always been
accustomed to write out his first name
in full, but he finds that it will save
him about 80 per cent Of time and
trouble to make it simply T. Roosevelt.
Where a man has to sign his name
about one thousand times a day 1t
makes a big difference. There Is
man in the office Of the auditor for the
postoffice department at Washington
who, it is said, owes his appointment
largely to the fact that his signature
contains but five letters. He is Second
Deputy Auditor N. Chew. He does
little but sign his name, and he does
that for about eight hours a day
steadily.

THE TRIP TO BRIDGEPORT.
Roosevelt Went That Way to Save
Congressman Hill.

Congressman Hill.
There's a good story told about Con-
gresham Hill and 1t Is taken to indi-
cate that in this off year in ConRecti-
cut politics, when the vote Will fail
considerably below that polled when
there is a presidential battle ON, the
congressman proposes to play all the
trump cards he can command to arouse
the republicans to a performance of
their duty in November, and to keep
the democrats as far away as possible
from capturing the congressional prize
in the fourth When the congressman
heard that President Roosevelt would
return to New Haven after his tour of
New England and then go to Oyster
Bay on the Sylph, he made up his mind
t ochange that presidential program.
He got next to the ears of Senator Or
vile H. Platt and Postmaster Marigold
of Bridgeport and poured this tale
therein:
Whats the president want to go
back to that dead town of New Haven
again for? Why can't he come to
Bridgeport and go to Oyster Bay on
his yacht from Bridgeport harbor? The
republicans want to get a look at him
down this way and he's, got to come
here. That's all /"
This determined talk stirred up the
senator and the postmaster and they
proceeded to interview President
Roosevelt's private secretary, Mr. Cor
telyou.
Cant do it, said Cortelyol. Like
to accommodate Congressman Hill, but
we must adhere to the program. We
go from New Haven to Oyster Bay
That verdict would have settled it in
most cases. Senator Plat stopped
right there. Hill said to Marigold
"Look here. Marigo1d, the president
has got to come on my account. This
Is an off year and our party in the
fourth may not come out in big num-
bers, as they do in presidential cam
naigns. You just get on train, go to
Vermont. and lay down with the presi-
dent and tell him he's cot to come to
Bridgeport for my sake"
Off whirled Marigold into the wilds
of Vermont with Hills appeal. He

Beauties of the Tariff.

IF'rom the New York Evening Post.l
We are in a fair way to learn what is
the duty under the Dingley tariff on
sweetened bilgewater. An importer of
sugar brought in a cargo of A, $50 bags.
The sugar was soft and leaky. A good
deal of it dripped into the ships hold,
where il mingled with sea water that
had been taken on board in rough
weather. When the cargo arrived here
the sugar was taken out and tested by
the polariscope and the duties paid.
The bilgewater was sufficiently sweetish
to warrant somebody in buying it at
one dollar per barrel for distilling pur-
poses. The amount paid for the lot
was about s450.
Now the Dingley duty on sweetened
bilgewater is reckoned according TO the
polariscope test If it tests less than Sc
degrees the duty is three cents per gall
~; if it is Sc degrees or more, the duty
is doubled; it then becomes six cents
per gallon. 1t is customary to make
two tests and then take the average as
the standard. One test showed SIS de-
grees, the other S. The average being
under 56, the duty would have been 3
cents per gallon. The appraiser in
charge was not satisfied with these ex-
periments and ordered two additional
tests. These showed one-tenth of a de-
gree more than S. The average of the
four tests was now scoops. The duty
was levied at that rate and the whole
sum charged against the owner was
1884. SO, being about double the cost of
the article that he had bought. He en-
ployed private chemists to try his bilge-
water and they made six tests, the
