.STACKABLE WINS
IN BEAN CAKE CASE

The appeal of Wing Sing Wo and
others against the decision of the
Treasury Department on the question
as to whether bean stick, bean cake.
and potato cake. came under the head
of prepared vegetables has been set
tied by the Board of Appraisers at
New York. The settlement of the
case changes the duty on these arti-
cles from 40 per cent to 20 per cent
ad valorem. Collector Stackable held
than bean stick was not a prepared
vegetable, and although the Treasury
Department thought otherwise. the
case was taken before the Board OF
Appraisers and evidently they looked
at 1t the same light as did Collector
Stackable for the duty has been
changed.
Bean stick is an article used in soups
and is prepared by making paste OF
a certain kind OF bean, and after put
ting 1t through various processes, 1t is
allowed to harden, when 1t becomes
very brittle. According to the Treas
ury decision in this matter bread might
be called wheat, and the Collector here
considered that the bean stick and
other articles mentioned could not be
called prepared vegetables. inasmuch
as the prepared article had no resem-
blance toy the original vegetable.

NOW OVER
P Particulars Of the
Deal With
Navy.

Captain Rodman received word yes
terday from Admiral Bradford, the
Chief Of the Bureau of Navigation,
that the compromise between the Ho-
nolulu Plantation Company and The
Navy Department had been accepted.
The matters in dispute were settled
according to the terms which were
agreed upon at conference held In
San Francisco recently. between Ad-
mird Bradford and Attorneys Sill
man and Hatch for the Plantation
Only the ratification of the Navy De-
partment was needed and this has now
been had.
There are eleven conditions In the
compromise. The Honolulu Plantation
obtained Judgment for S1o3.5oo for q
thirty year leasehold on 5sl.3 acres at
Pearl Harbor, but according to the
compromise the plantation company
receives $4,000 in cash and 10 allowed
to retain possession Of land now plant
ed in cane until May /. 1899. Buildings
belonging to the plantation are to I've
removed, and none OF the plantations
agents are to 60 upon the land save
for agricultural purposes, ana that on
ly during the working hours. The
Navy Department however retains the
right to take possession Of any part
Of the land that may be required by
an emergency. Title to the land Is to
be vested in the government ana judg-
ment must accordingly be entered.
The government also retains the ex-
elusive right TO all water from wells
on the land, but the surplus not used
by the government may be used by the
plantation.
selected the sites for several naval
stations other than Honolulu and az
with the one here, 1t seems that he
has been having some trouble In ac-
curing land where It was needed. The
San Francisco Chronicle has the follow
ing to say concerning Admiral Brad
also touches upon the Honolulu mat
ter then unsettled.
While in San Francisco. he made an
effort to acquire title to Mission rock,
San Francisco bay, the place being
desired for a coaling station. The own
ers of the tide land around the rock
asked higher price than they orig1-
nally named and gave no evidence of
acceptance Of the Governments views
of it's value. Rear Admiral Brad
ford will recommend that negotia-
tions for Mission rock be dropped
and that another site be, selected
on California City point. opposite
Angel island Admiral bradford
also selected site for a wire
less telegraph station on Point Bonita
Another matter engaging his atten-
ton related to the acquisition OF a
coaling station at Pearl harbor, In the
Hawaiian Islands. One owner Of part
of the proposed site, a Honolulu
planter, has been loath to come to the
Governments terms, and 1t took three
suits in the civil courts and the threat
of fourth before representatives Of
the company would make what the
regarded as a fair propo-
sition. This was obtained by Admiral
Ere dford while he was in San Frah-
cisco and he has brought 1t back to
the Navy Department with an in
dorsement recommending its accept
ance, 1t Is probable the deal Will now
go through.

town of about six or seven hundred inhabi-

weeks after it was started, and it has the
same population today. At one time, of
course, there was a boom population of
perhaps a couple of thousand people, but
the wild rush gradually died away and the
population settled down to a more moderate
size. The people there live happily and
peacefully and consider themselves just as
much in the world as does the stock broker
in Wall street. There is a main street in
the town, paved with gravel, in order to
keep the street from blowing away on
windy days, and at night every corner

you may see a Pickering kerosene lamp,
shedding it's rays over an area of about six

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-02-14

The heart is the hardest worked organ of the
human body. 1t beats on an average of seventy
times a minute-from the minute of birth to the
minute of death. Every half minute or every
thirty second beat the whole of the blood in the
body is pumped through the heart so that the
dual heart moves about six tons of blood in each
twenty-four hours On the purity of that blood
health depends. On the strength of the heart
depends the strength of the body
The question then is, how can we keep the
blood pure and the heart strong? That question
answers itself when we know what is the common
cause of the blood's impurity, and whence arises
the tendency to heart "trouble." What is blood !?
Blood is only digested food. In proportion as
food is nutritious the blood is rich In pro-
portion as the food is properly dgested the blood
is pure. Indigested food clogs and corrupts the
blood, and indigestion often precedes or attends
the first symptoms of heart "trouble." The first
necessity to the production of pure blood is that
the stomach and other organs of digestion and
nutrition shall be in the perfect working order of
sound health so that the food received into the
stomach is properly dgested and perfectly assimi-
lated, for the stomach is the vital center of the
body. No man is stronger than his stomach be-
cause physical strength is derived from food di-
gested and assimilated. Deaths ascribed to weak
heart and vheart failure" therefore, are more
properly ascribed to weak stomach and stomach
failure.
It is this dependence of the heart upon the stomach
which explains the of "heart trouble effected by
the use of Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery. This

And all the past comes swiftly by our way
Within this conscious spell is the vast sum

Sweep back the tides that from each compass play
And render half the hearts emotions dumb,

HERolsM OF A WOMAN.
Proof Thas She is Capable of Rising
to Sublime Heiuhts.

Life constantly turns up facts which
are beyond all fiction. A few days
ago a case of restitution enlisted the
attention of the police. The husband
had stolen in order that his wife and
child might have food. Sympathy was
quickly enlisted and work was offered
to the man.
But the police discovered little too
much. The man, who had first seemed
to be hero, was a bigamist and
thief with a record. His claim that he
could find no employment was false.
He is now behind prison bars.
Still there was heroism in the Incl
dent. The second wife, whom he had
deceived, was an honest and honorable
woman. She refused to appease her
hunger from the profits of crime, how
ever desperate the circumstances
were. Her principles stood out in the
face of the severest temptation and
she still believed in her husband.
Heroism Is fine, but it seems a bit
finer when 1t is shown in an humble
instance and when the one who shows
it Is a woman who trusts.-Baltimor
Herald.
