MUCK BAR" IND BAR
IRON ARE IDENTICAL
Federal Circuit Court Holds Them
to Be the Same for Purpose
of Customs Duties.

PITTSPURG, Jan. 16.-In the United
States Circuit Court to-day Judge NJ. w.
Acheson handed down decision which will
be of interest to every manufacturer or
importer of iron in bars. BY his decision,
in the eyes of the officials of the United
States at least, bar iron" and muck
bars" are virtually the same thing.
The decision was handed down in the case
of Mooorehead Bros. & Co. VS.. The
United States, an application for a review
Of the decision of the United States Board
of General Appraisers, as to customs duties.
The collector of the port of Pittsburg as
sessed a lot of muck bars imported by the
Moorhead concern as bar IRON subject to
a duty Of six-tenths of a cent a pound.
This appraisement and assessment was
made under Paragraph 123 of the tariff act
of July "A, 1897
Judge Acheson says that by all the tes-
umony in the case it appears that muck
bars are iron bars, or iron in bars, and he
therefore orders a decree that the decision
of the United States Boad of General APP
praisers be affirmed.

DEATH TRUST IS AGAIN
DENOUNCED At CHICAGO
Manufacturers of Antitoxin Al
legged to Be Trahcking in
Human Life
BIG BOOST IN PRICES

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-An official statement
regarding the death trust in antitoxin was
issued to-day by Secretary E. r. Pritchard,
of the health department OF the city of
Chicago. The statement follows:
THE antitoxin trust is nothing more or
less than a traffic in human life. The con-
Germs which manufacture and practically
control the antitoxin supply OF almost the
entire country have seen fit arbitrarily 10
advance the price of their product 100 per
cent. This discovery was made by the
department of health of the city of Chicago
only a few days ago, when in ordering its
needed supplies for charity work IL was
met with these increased quotations, which
were uniformly the same from all three of
the firms engaged in the manufacture of
antitoxin. The department felt compelled
to call public attention to this action OF
bine had been formed which effectually
controlled the price of the only known
remedy for the most dread scourge to the
child life of the country. Primarily, our
object was to call attention to the immedi-
ate effect this would have on the death
rate of children in the city of Chicago.
Since the discovery of antitoxin the de-
partment of health has done all in its
power to encourage its use. 1t has furnished
its own medical inspectors TO administer
and has provided the antitoxin in all cases
where people were too poor to purchase il.
The horizontal increase in price made
by the trust means that the city of Chi
cago will be compelled to appropriate double
the sum to do the same amount of charity
work in diphtheria cases for 1904 that it did
in 1903 This the city can do and doubtless
will do, but outside of this il must be re-
membered that this burden will fall heaviest
on the self-respecting, self-supporting heads
of families of modest incomes To all such,
should diphtheria invade their homes, and
they will be compelled to pay the increased
prices, the burden put upon them by the
trust will be grievous.
1t is noted that the increased prices quoted
by the trust to the city are the prices of the
manufacturers to a jobber. This means
only the initial or starting point of the
advance in the cost OF the product. The
jobber must increase his price proportion
ally to the dealer; the dealer must increase
his prices to the physician who purchases
from him and the physician must necessari-
ly increase his fees TO cover the cost of adj
ministering this lfe-saving remedy. This
applies not only to Chicago, but practically
to the entire country.
The action of the trust in raising prices,
il will be seen, affects almost the entire
country. The publicity already given has
aroused the medical profession TO the high
est Indignation, and will no doubt result
in some steps being speedily taken to pro-
vide a supply of antitoxin from sources
other than that OF the combine.

GERMAN SCOUNDRELS
BLACKMAILING TRICK
He Attempted to Wiring Money
From Well-Dressed Won1-
an, Was Arrested.

BERLIN, Jan. 16.-One morning recently
some ladies in Charlottenburg, returning
from church, were stopped by a little boy,
who handed them a letter. The ladies, pre-
Stunning it was a novel form of begging, gen.
orally pocketed the letters. intending to read
them at their leisure. They were not lit
tie surprised when they found that the mis-
sive contained impudent insinuatlons and
asked that 1.-The handsome reader who. as
the writer knows, feels herself neglected by
her husband, should address the sympathet-
ic Max, poste restante. Some of the la
dies turned these letters over to the police,
and watch was kept on the postoffice which
was named in the letter.
The next day boy called for letters ad-
dressed to Max" There were several, and
the messenger hurried to a side street to
deliver them to a well-dressed man wait
ing there. The man was Immediately ar
rested, and gave his name as Franz Muehl-
leider. He confessed that he and a friend
had the letters, in all about 120, distributed
on Christmas morning They had watched
on the other side of the street and when
ever they saw good-looking, elegantly
dressed woman approaching they signaled
to a boy to hand her one Of the letters.
The police think they have caught pair

SMITH, JONES IND BROWN.
Three Names that Burden Lon
dOn'S Directory.


LONDON, Jan. 16.-If numbers make for
greatness. then is the Smith family incon-
, testably the greatest of all the families in
habiting these islands.
The pride of Smith is writ large upon the
pages OF the new postoffice London direc-
tory, for in the Court section are en-
shrined the names of 5Ol Smiths. to which
may be added twenty-one Smyths and nine
Smythes. There are individually recorded
here thirty-six ladies whose sole appellation
is plain "'Mrs. Smith"
At the head of the family list stand a
judge. a baronet two knights, two members
OF Parliament, an admiral, three colonels,
one lieutenant colonel, one major, four cap
tains and thirteen reverends, all of the name
OF Smith.
In the much larger Commercial sec
ton OF the directory are found eighteen col
umns of Smith. each containing the names
of about ninety individual Smiths, so we
may take II that there are at least 1900
Smiths inhabiting the commercial world of
London.
A large number of the permutations and
combinations of Smith are to be found.
Thus we have Smith and Smyth or. with
the addition OF the genteel e. Smithe and
Smythe. In the plural we have Smiths,
Smythes, Smithyes. Smythies. In the COM
parative degree. Smither, Smithers, and
Smythers; there is no Smithest We also
have the allied active forms Smithem,
Smithiam, and Smithett; also Smithson
and Smythson.
Foreign forms are Smit schmit Schmitt.
Schmidt Schmitz. and Smits. There are
doubtless other variants, but the above are
all that the eye of the unframed man is
likely to detect; further differentiation may
be left TO Smith experts

two are plain Mrs. Jones" There are 200

BLEACHING NEGROES BY
MEANS OF THE X-RAYS
Claimed That They Produce a
Creamy White Color-Physi-
clans Differ in Opinion.
DESTROY THE PIGMENT

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 15.-Professop
PancOast, of the University of Pennsylva-
MIA, believes that negroes can be made
white. His belief is due TO the fact that
the skin Of negroes treated with the X-rays
for cancer and lupus has turned white and
remained so for months. No attempt has
been made to use the rays on a healthy
negro for the sole purpose OF whitening
the skin, but DR.. Pancoast knows no rea-
son why it cannot be done.
DR.. Gottheil, Of New York, an expert in
the use of the X-rays. is of different
opinion. He says that instead OF bleaching
the skin they tan IT, and that I'm the case
of a negro they would turn the skin darker.
DR.. Beck. another authority on the uses
and effects Of the X-rays. says that a ne

similar experiments" he said land the
result was dull, dirty-colored skin. In a
short time the pigment would return and
the skin resume it's natural hue"

tce and experiments department of thu

Pancoasts photographs, in which some OF
the subjects are shown TO have partly
turned white and others entirely so. Thess
patients before treatment were the black

lief, speaks only, think. from superficial
treatment Of the skin with the X-rays.
1T is a fact that the application OF thu
rays TO the outer skin does tan IL, but the
color or pigment OF the skin lies beneath
the surface. When the rays are used ira

DEVICE TO QUENCH
FIRE IN THEATERS
New York Manager Invents an
Apparatus to Flood the Stage
in Thirty Seconds.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Another invention
has been perfected by a local theatrical
manager for the protection of lives and
property in case of fire. Holding that all
devices now in use are inadequate the man.
ager has perfected plan under which the
mere turning of a valve will cause the
deluging of stage. All that is necessary,
he says, is to substitute for the wooden or
iron cross pieces of the "gridron'' above
the stage iron pipes an inch and a half in
diameter perforated at regular intervals
of less than an inch. Eight-inch head
ers'' on each side to connect the smaller
pipes with two 5OO0-gallon tanks make

thirty seconds after the discovery of
flames, can pour out a cascade heavy
enough to ouench the fercest blaze.

One might almost say therefore that both
the acquisitions received by the museum
during the year and the work accomplished
by its different departments included near
ly every quarter of the globe. The total
list of donors TO the museum number, some
thing over Seventy-five and the list of con-
tributiOns TO knowledge that have eman-
ated from its various departments, in
scientific articles and official bulletins and
memoirs, numbers something over half a
hundred. Many of the collections have been
greatly strengthened by the smaller gifts.
particularly the collection of the fossil
fishes and of alcoholic reptiles and zactra-
clans, and the courses in zoology and geo.
logy given in the museum building during
the year were attended by about 900 stu
dents.
