people Who count on mans strength
because he is in power and has pat

Pays Duty on Holy Water.
IL OVell u VI tIdSSIIlC1IlOflO OF general
appraisers has decided that holy water
taken from the spring or Well at
Lourdes, France, is not subject to duty.
though the importer of the particular
lot which called forth the decision will
nave to pay in consequence of his own
neglect
The water, which was imported last
october by William Terves, was re-
ported by the appraiser to be natural
mineral water a nd i
at The rate of "a cents per gallon. The
importer claimed that the duty should
pc only III per cent ad Valorem, as on
raw or un1nanufactured articles not
enumerated or provided for.
The board, while finding that the
water is not mineral water, holds that
the claim made by the importer is not
sound and the water is enumerated i'm
the Tree list, but as the importer failed
to make this claim his protest is over
ruled and duty will have to be paid
in this instance.
No Inartistic Fountains.
Minnie Maddern-F iske is very anx-
lous to establish small fountains about
the city where the dogs can Stake their
thirst. For this purpose she not lone
ago sent her check to Jacob A. Cantor
president Of the borough Of Manhat-
tan, with the request that he select
a design and put up as many of the
fountains as possible with the money
Mr.. Cantor asked the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
to submit design, and he is much
reused over the attempt of the society
to get an Objectionable design for a
dog fountain adopted by the Munich
pal Art commission. The society has
had manufactured a queer looking re-
ceptacle shaped like a cuspidor, with
the initials OF the society emblazoned
in red over it's sides
The fountain weighs nearly one
hundred pounds and there is a heavy
chain attached by which it is intended
to be tied UP to fire hydrants.
This is one of the most horrible OBJ
Jeets have ever SEEM said Mr.. Can
tor, trying to lift the fountain" from
the floor. Il think the average doc
would run away from this and a stray
cat would make in another direction. "
Mr.. Cantor will wait until sugges
lions are received from the Municipal
Art society before making his final Sc
lection of a design.
