Decision About Pearls Handed Down
 in New York.

New York, Jan. 2o.--A decision has been handed down in the United States circuit court by Judge Hanzel sustaining the decision of the Board of United States general appraisers dn classifying two consignments of pearls as pearls set and strung, and accordingly assessable at sixty per cent. ad valorem. The pearls are val ued at $123.S04.
 Jewellers and customs authorities throughout the country have been in terested in the decision because it brought up for a final settlement the question as to whether pearls. placed in box instead of paper. and ar ranged in graduated sizes, could be classified as being strung or set.
 The board took the stand that stones were so classified and levied the highest duty. This is upheld by Judge Hazel.

VETERAN DISCHARGED
Walter Norris, Member of End
Minnesota Volunteer In
fantry, Died In this City
on September 8,

Deceased was born in Tompkins
county, New York, June 1885.
He was absolutely without kith OF
kin to solace him in the dread hour
of death which all must face in God Is
appointed time. Yet loving hands
ministered to his needs and old
companions in arms stood by to bid
him bon voyage as he embarked with
the Pale Ferryman across the mystic
river that separates the brief now from
the eternal then.
When his country called for de-
tenders he answered.: "Here am l."
1t was enough.
He braved all, dared all, staked all,
on the alter of his country.
1t was enough.
Men who fought with him in q
great cause, suffered with him in a
great cause and triumphed with him
in a great cause, saw. that no need
they could supply was lacking.
His companions of the Grand Army
OF the Republic who fought the
Nations fight, when the perpetuity Of
the republic and the rights of man
were the wager OF battle, when misles
OF death hot as shafts from the fiery
depths of hell flew thick as autumn
leaves in the sulphurous air, when
screaming shell, whirring solid shot
and whistling rifle ball sang the
awful requium of the grave: times
that tried mems souls, times that
tested mems metal, times which men
sharing in mutually formed ties
compared to which the ties of con-
sanguinity are weak as bands Of
rotten straw, ties that reach beyond
