Benjamin W. Gist, a young

Benjamin w. Gist, young farmer living near Falls City, Neb., inherited S4O,O00 from his uncle's estate. His relatives were talking of contesting the will and he went to the bank and drew the money in S5, S10 and S2O gold pieces and drove through the streets of the city distributing it to the poor. The deserving and undeserving, the just and unjust, fared alike. He saved many a poor family from want and frightened many a home. 'In such sums he distributed the entire S40,00O and now he Says he has peace, although his rela- tives do not speak to him.

NEW YORK, September 10, 1908
It is plain from the models seen that
there is to be no great change in childrens
styles for autumn. School wardrobes for
all ages. however, display many novelties
In the way of details, charming odd collars
which take lines entirely new, and different
ways of putting on trimming. Some Of
these ways, 1t must be confessed are re-
vivals of other days. but that only makes
them the more charming.
One trimming method which suggests the
pantalet and prunella-g aiter period IS to
have bands of ribbon velvet or gimp in
graduating widths put on in deep points A
dainty little school frock decked in this way
with black velvet for maid of seven was
of sapphire blue meTino. The short bodice,
which was cut to wear with a lawn CAMP.
boasted quaint little flowing sleeves, cut
short to show the puffed white under ones.
Many becoming bertha effects are seen
upon these little cut-out bodices. though
sometimes the neck will be finished with
only a narrow ribbon ruche.
In such an event there may be similar
rucheS on the Slirt-the ribbon gathered
down the middle or at one edge-and one
finishing the bottom of the short puffed
sleeves.
It is not absolutely necessary that these
velvet and ribbon furnishings should be
black. though this contrast with color is
most often seen.
Not uncommonly the dress stuff and rib
bon matches in tint, the white CAMP and
undersleeves providing the break needed
for this SameneSs.

DISEASES
OF SISAL
Warning From the
Agricultural
Experts.
MALADIES MAY
BE IMPORTED
Growers Urged TO Examine Their
Crops and Grub Out Any
Sick Plants.

Lyster H. Dewey, botanist in charge
of fiber plants for the Department of
Agriculture, writes as follows of dis
eased fiber plants:
Washington, D. c., December 16,
1902
Mr. Jared G.. Smith, Director Of Ex-
pertinent Station, Honolulu, Hawaii
MY Dear Mr.. Smith: 1 have just
written to Knudson Brothers of Kauai,
Hawaii, eautioning them to look out
for the introduction of diseased plants
in the new sisal plantation which they
are starting, and 1 write you, giving
you the same information, for 1 regard
it as of the utmost Importance to the
sisal industry in Hawaii that the intro
duction of disease be prevented if pos
sible.
when l was in the Bahamas last
May, l noticed that there were, in a
few localities, indications of a diseased
condition of the sisal plants. 1 brought
back with me some specimens, and re-
ferred them to Mr.. Woods, who report
ed that there was a fungus on the
leaves, but that it was not in a condi-
ton for determination. Recently 1
have received from one of the principal
growers in the Bahamas letter stat
ing that while the diseased condition
seems to be confined to small areas, it
is slowly spreading, and is causing
some alarm lest it may in time prove
destructive.
The symptoms are described as fol-
lows: 'Yellowish spots or patches first
appear on the leaves. These spots
spread. The leaf gets dry and curls,
usually about half way down from the
point, the edge of the leaf becoming
pinkish in color. In a week or two,
sometimes longer, the leaf dries and
becomes black and hard. Usually the
upper half of the leaf is affected, the
lower half remaining green much
longer. Sometimes the funnel, as it
is called in the Bahamas, consisting of
the unopened leaves, is attacked at the
tip. The disease usually affects only
five or six inches of the upper part of
the funnel, but sometimes extends clear
to the base This condition has not
been observed in the Bahamas until
within the past year. 1t may have ex-
listed there before, but to so small an
extent as to be regarded as of no i'm
portance.
Il would suggest that the sisal grow
ers of the Islands be warned in regard
to the possible Introduction of such
diseases, and that they be urged to go
through their plantations and, if any
sisal plants are found exhibiting symp-
toms of the character described, that
they be grubbed out and destroyed"
Anyone interested in sisa1 growing,
and wishing more information on the
subject, may obtain such by CORE
spending with Jared G. Smith of the
experiment station

ARE IRON
Judge Estee Decides
the Hamano
Case.

Judge Estee rendered an opinion
yesterday upholding the General Board
of Appraisers of New York in its elias
sifcation of japanese sandals The
case has been pending for two ;ears,
and the decision yesterday disposes of
two hundred similar appeals from Col
lector Stackable's ruling. The Homo
lulu Customs Collector assessed slip
pers as manufactures of leather" at
35 per cent ad valorem, from which H.
Hamano appealed to the appraisers,
claiming that the duty should be put
at % per cent upon boots and shoes
made of leather"
The board of appraisers declared the
sandals to be composed chiefly Of raw
hide, and decided that as there was TO
provision for rawhide in the tariff act,
the assessment should be at As per cent
on articles composed chiefly or in part
of iron," there being a metal base on
The heel of the shoe.
In the suit before the United States
court Hamano based his appeal on The
similitude clause of the tariff act,
which would put the shoes in the leath-
er classification, but Judge Estee holds
that this could not be done, as the
point was not raised on the original
appeal.
Another point on which the decision
is affirmed is that the importer tailed
to present evidence at the hearing,
though requested to do so. The opin-
ion is based on the following Two rea-
sons:
list That the similitude statute
does not apply to this case, and
"2nd. That the importer did not ap-
l ear before the general appraisers at
the trial"
