TAKEN GOAT CENSUS
UNCLE SAM RECENTLY COUNTS
A SOURCE or WEALTH.
From the Proud AngorA to the Lowry
Common Varieties w leh Lord It
Over Vacant City Lots, All Have
Been Enumerated.

Uncle Sam has counted his goats.
The funny persons OF the United
states mad been paying attention to
them long before Uncle Sam did. but
they did not spread qute the same
facts about them According to them
the goat is really only humorous OBJ
ject living mostly on ash heaps and
eating loose property, such as shirts
hung out to dry
But Uncle Sam finds that his goats
are extremely valuable possessions Of
the United States His census men
collacted the figures from all the
states and found to their amazement
that there are almost two millions
OF goats in this country.
There are more than 1871 900 on
farms only More than 100000 Of
them are the beautiful Angora goats,
bat the rest, which are Just the plain,
ordinary, common goat, are not to be
despised The value Of all the goats
on the farms is estimated at being q
little more than three and quarter
millions of dollars.
Yet with all these goats in the coun.
try the United States still imports all
Of its goat skins from other lands.
This Is not due to the fact that the
business isn't worth having, for last
year the imports of goat skins amount
cd to twenty-five millions Of dollars.
but the fact appears TO be that the
goat herders and the goat skin makers
Of other countries demand so little
money and live so poorly that there is
nothing in It for the American farm
cr, ard he prefers to raise his goats for
their hair. as in the case OF Angoras,
while he uses the common goat to
furnish milk and meat.
The twenty-five million dollars
worth Of goat skins that are imported
by Uncle Sam each year gives work
to many strange races. and draws on
goat herds from Uruguay and Aus
traasia to the White Sea in Russia
and Labrador in far northern Canada.
On the oceanic peaks of the Azores.
in the beautiful Madeira Islands,
where the days are all as dreams,
alar in the wild country around the
Black Sea, high among the clouds OF
the Swiss Alps. the herds are feeding
today to furnish skins for the shoes
and gloves and other wearing material
Of the boys and girls Of the United
States.
The soft velvety skin that forms
your gloves to-day may have passed
through adventures before il reached
you that would make a story in the
Nest thrilling Of story books seem

Even the Himalayas, distant though
they be from civilization, fed and shell

witness and the Chicago representa-
tives Of other coal-carrying companies
at Chicago hotel. The witness said
he never agreed upon any price 1or
coal. He had his Instructions from MS
superior at Philadelphia and d1d not
have authority to make any change IN
prices. 1t was undoubtedly true, ne
said, that the 1900 or 1890 retail coal
dealers in Chicago charged UNIFORM
prices. He believed the retail price al
ways is 81 in excess of the wholesale
prices.
H. j. PIatt, general sales agent OF the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company of Ch,-
cago, said he had attended some OF the
meetings of the Wholesale coal dealers
and western agents of the coal COM
panies of Chicago, but said that the
conferences had no jurisdiction in the
establishment and maintenance OF
prices.
what did you do when you found
retailers varying prices?" was asked.
II always tried to keep uniform
price among my own customers. When
they cut prices l talked to them and
showed them where they We're wrong.
The witness concluded by saying
ganization, no chairman and no secre-
tary and that they We're only gather
ings to discuss trade conditions to
compare notes Of the general situation.

TAFT's ITINERARY CHANGED.
Party for Panama Will Sail From
Pensacola Instead of Tampa.

1 CSbSdSOio suSsCdO vi dtnpds
| Washington, Oct 25.-The navy de-
partment has determined that Secre-
tary Tafts visit to Panama will start
from Pensacola, instead of Tampa as
was originally projected, the reason
being that the Columbia, which is to
carry the party, cannot enter Tampa
harbor safely because Of her great
draft. The party expects to start from
Pensacola on Nov. IA, and the Columbia
will be expected with her triple screws.
to make the trip to Colon within four
days.
District Attorney Beach filed in the
district supreme court demurrer to
the suit brought by Warren S. Wilson
of Hinsdale, ILL.,, for permanent in
junction to prevent the secretary of the
treasury from disbursing any money or
issuing any bonds on account Of the
Panama canal. The suit attacked the
constitutionality of the Spooner law,
authorizing the expenditures on the
canal and the hearing will be had in
the court today. The demurrer says
the complainant sets forth no interest
in the suit; that the United States are
not and cannot be made a party defen-
dant in the matter, and generally de-
MES the right of the court to grant the
relief sought.

COUNTESS cAsslNl PlouED.
Russian Ambassador Complains of He,
Extravaganza and She Will &C

| Home.
Washington, Oct. 25.-Half the mem
| bers Of the diplomatic corps are In
| despair and American society thruout
| the national capital is torn with anX-
| iety over the report that Countess Cas-
SIM, neice Of the Russian ambassador,
one of the brightest, prettiest and alto
gether the most charming Of Europeans
| ever entertained in this country short
| ly is to leave in fit of pique.
| The countess has been too extrava-
CANT for the rather heroic ideas of her
natural guardian and the ambassador
has called halt. In fact he called
| it several weeks ago when the coun-
| tess was in Bar Harbor, but lot OF
good it did him. Countess Marguerite
| arched her bewitching brows lowered
her soft fringed lids, sighed, promised
to be more economical, and then, just
to show her independence, proceeded
to spend 100000 more as fast as she
could. This is the precise sum-with
perhaps a little fractional currency for
tips-she has expended since her de-
parture from the fashionable Maine re-
sort.
| Count Cassin1 is patriot. His coun-
try is pushed for funds, and like the
true nobleman he is, he regards 1t as
his duty to strip his estates II neces-
sary, in contributing to the govern
ment's needs. So he FASTENED to cur
tail his enormous expenses for the sake
of his country.
But the ambassador reckoned with
out his niece. 1t was all very well
for a lot of stupid generals to go floun-
dering about in Manchuria and burn
ing money thru the lannon's mouth,
so long as their conduct didn't affect
ANYBODY else, but gloves were necessi-
ties. and so were frocks and ball
gowns, and hats and other things fem1-
nine Her idea of pocket money runs
dangerously close to six figures year.
So the count pulled his purse strings
with a snap that limited the countess
to an allowance. Thereupon the Rus
sian beauty fitted from Bar Harbor
and began a round Of visits to the
country houses Of friends among AM
erican multimillionaires, and the next
Count Cassini heard was that she was
resolved to return to her beloved st.
Petersburg
