Fatal Heart Disease.

Statistics compiled by the Boston
Board of Health show that heart dis
ease is now second only to consump-
tion. as a destroyer of human life, in
Boston, and that the number Of an
nual deaths caused by it is increasing
at such rate that consumption may
soon be relegated to second place. In
1901 heart disease killed 963 Boston
ians; in 1902 it caused the death OF
1,033. Thus far this year the deaths
from it show further increase. The
percentage of deaths from heart dis
ease has been steadily increasing for
many years, while that of deaths from
consumption has been decreasing.

ELIAS HowE's LUCKY DREAM.

How inventor Found Point Which Had
Long Puzzled Him.
Elias Howe, the inventor Of the sew.
ing machine, almost beggared himself
before he discovered where the eye OF
the needle should be placed. 1t never
occurred to him that it should be To-
Gated near the point, and he might
have failed altogether had it not been
for q remarkable dream.
One night he dreamed that he was
making a sewing machine for savage
king in strange country. AS In his
actual waking experience, he was
rather perplexed about the needles
eye. He, thought the king gave him
twenty-five hours in which to COM
plete a machine, and If not finished
in that time, death was to be the pun
ishment
Howe worked and worked, and puz-
zled and puzzled, and finally gave it
up Then he thought that he was
taken out to be beheaded. On his way
to execution he noticed that the war
riors carried spears that were pierced
near the head. Instantly came the
solution of the difficulty, and while
the inventor was begging for time he
awoke.
1t was then o'clock in the morn
ing. Howe jumped out of bed, hur
ried to his workshop, and by 9 o'clock
a needle with an eye at the point
had been rudely modelled. After that

PRESIDENT SIGNS
BANKRUPTCY BILL
Several Very Important Mod
ificatiOns Of the Pres
ent Law.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. g.
The president late this afternoon sign
ed the bill which amends the bank
ruptcy law of 1898. Willis H. Hotch-
kiss, Of Buffalo, president of the Ma
tfOnal Association Of Feferees in
Bankruptcy; William A. Prendergast,
secretary of the National Association
of Credit Men, and S. c. Mead, secre-
tary of the Merchants Union of New
York, were present when the bill was
signed. These gentlemen and the as
SOcIatlOnS they represent have been
largely instrumental in securing the
amendments to the original law, and
they expressed their qualification to
President Roosevelt at the interest he
has shown in the measure.
The bill modifies the existing law in
several important particulars, the prin-
cfpal one of which is a provision in
regard to preferred creditors. Under the
existing law those who had received
payments from a person who had soon
afterWard been declared bankrupt
could not have other claims passed
upon without surrendering the amount
received. This provision was modified
so as to allow the creditor to retain
the money received unless the previ-
GUS payment was fraudulent. This
change is in conformity with a deci-
sion of the supreme court.
Another amendment provides four
new objections to a discharge intended
to prevent persons from going through
bankruptcy, the most important of
which are the giving of false mer-
camille statement and the making of
a fraudulent transfer Of property. The
bill also provides that it shall be an
objection to discharge of a voluntary
bankrupt iif he seeks to go through
bankruptcy more than once in six
years.
Another amendment provides that
the appointment Of q receiver for a
corporation which is inSOIvent is an act
of bankruptcy, emitting the creditors
to choose their own trustee. Another
important change is one which gives
the federal courts concurrent jurisdic-
ton of suits to recover property which
has been fraudulently transferred.
Other amendments allow the wives of
bankrupts to testify in the proceedings !;
provide for an increase in the fees of
referees and trustees to an average of
about SO per cent over the fees allow
ed by the present law and prohibit the
courts from allowing greater fees than
the law permits in any case, and add
to the list of debts from which a
bankrupt cannot be relieved by a dis
charge from bankruptcy. The new
law includes debts to wife and children
and alimony. The list of corpora
lions which may go into bankruptcy is
increased by adding mining corpora
lions.

GERMANY'S WAR TARIFF.

Germanys proposed tariff is especially hostile to
the United States With all the professions and proesa
tons of friendship which Baron Speck Sernberg the
minister, is avsing upon and all the allegations
of profound affection which the emperor himself has ut
tered during the past year, it is difficult to understand
Germany's naval and revenue actions.
The duty all manufactured articles from the
United States is raised enormously as notice of war
against American trusts. Against the socaled "Amer
lean INVASION OF trust goods the German tariff is prac-
tcaly prohibitive.
But Germanys tariff hostility by means ends with
the duties manufactured The duties against
agricultural products from the United States just
Some of these high duties specially hit Mime
and the Dakotas.
The tariff against American wheat, for example is
than doubled 1t is raised from 80 cents ST Is
per hundred kos, about SO per bushc In other
words the duty is very nearly two-hirds of the Ameri-
export price This makes the duty prohbitory as
doubtless it is intended to be.
On -four and other cereal products the duty is the
same on wheat The duty therefore about $6o per
barrel on -four, and this again is Of prohibory.
Indeed, one-half that would do the business for no
American miller pay the freight from the Mississippi
valley to German market and then compete under an
additional handicap amounting nethird Of the value
OF the flour.
On live stock, apples. dairy products and practically
all staple productions of American agriculture well
manufactured products the proposed German tariff is
raised to quite the prohbitive point This
that the German empire does commercial rea-
tions with the United States
Before the proposed tariff goes into effect the new
reichsag about be elected will have chance pass
upon it. IT, therefore, the German people opposed
taxed food and clothing and hardware and feel friendly
disposed American products the government tariff
proposition may be turned down. 1t evident, however,
that with the present strained relations arising of the
Venezuelan tangle the expects be support
ed in its tariff hostility against Americans and their
commercial Invasion"
Perhaps Baron Specl Sternbcrg can explain to
that this tariff is another proof of the emperors
love of America.

any correspondence that may have oc-
Cured between the naval officers of
the United States and persons OH shore
in Colombia during the recent stay of
American vessels in Colombian waters.
Mr.. Morgan's purpose in introducing
the resolution is to ascertain whether
there is truth in the report that the
American naval officers made an offer
of S3000.000 to the revolutionists to
desist He calls attention to the fact
that the first treaty which the United
States sought to negotiate with Colonl-

called for $7,000,000, whereas the
treaty really negotiated calls for $10,-
600, 600, the difference being the
amount involved in the reports con-
corning offers to the insurgents.
