District Court.
Burlington, VT, Oct. 21.--A decision
sustaining the finding of the board Of
general appraisers Of New York that
there should be no duty on ''rossed"
pulpwood brought into this country
from Canada has been handed down by
Judge Wheeler Of the United States
district court. "Rossed' wood is that
which has been partially prepared for
grinding. The decision was made in
connection with a test case brought
about by suit instituted by the Unit
ID States against q. w. Pierce, who
represented one OF the largest pulp
importing corporations In the United
States. The fact that the appraisers
are upheld In Judge Wheeler's decision
means that full restoration must be
made not only to Mr.. Pierce for duty
paid but also to all other importers of
wood pulp who have: been assessed for
this commodity since the suit was in
stituted. The amount Of money in.
volved Is large, but the figures cannot

SUICIDE CLARK LEAVES
STORY OF BANK WRECK
CASHIER Of ALLEGHENY (PA.)
BANK SAID TO HAVE LEFT
WRITTEN CONFESSION.
NARRATEs INFINITELY METHODS
USED TO SECURE FUND OF
THE INSTITUTION.

Pittsburg, Oct. 21.-It is reported
that among the private papers of r.
Lee Clark, the dead cashier of the En-
terprise National bank of Allegheny,
is a complete confession of the opera
lions which brought about his ruin and
the closing of the bank. This confes-
sion, it is said, narrates minutely all
the steps in the proceedings attending
the securing of the banks funds and
how the loans were made, together
with the names of the politicians con-
cerned. >--..
AS the investigation of the banks af-
fairs proceeds it shows Cashier Clark
was interested in many corporations
and that his associates were prominent
men. Startling revelations are being
made as to the manner in which the
dead cashier managed the moneys of
the bank. Some of the directors, on
the strength of what has been discovs
cred, intimate that Clark was a de-
faulter to large amount. It is be-
ner and the weather. men of the
banks directorate will make some eff
fort to get control of the Santa Fs
Central railway and the Pennsylvania
Development company, which concerns
are so much involved in the banks
affairs. BY doing this as individuals
the directors may hope to save them
selves if they are compelled to make
good to the state any shortage in the
funds. -f>
It is further said that the directors
will lose nothing. Attorney Trimbell,
counsel for the bank and for the estate
of Cashier Clark, Is working with the
receiver at the bank and strong effort
Is being made to bring the muddled
accounts into some kind of reasonable
shape.

american Asphait Companies Held Up
for $4,000.
New York, Oct. 21.-The payment of
$4,000 through American asphalt
companies to support General Matos'
revolution in Venezuela was testified
to by General Avery D. Andrews, vice
president of the National Asphalt COM
pany.
General Andrews says that this
money was really extorted; that it was
paid to protect the property of the
company and not in voluntary support
Of the revolution. He said that Cen
eral Matos came to New York in the
summer of 1901 and, upon his repre-
sentation that the oompany's property
was in danger, they had paid first the
100000 and then the $4,000.
Mr.. Andrews gave this testimony
before United States Commissioner
Gilchrist in the taking of evidence to
be used to settle the suit of the Ven
ezuelan government against the New
York and Bermudez Asphalt company
for $11,000,000 damages for this COM
pany's alleged participation in General
Matos' revolution.

The lJseless Bantam.

While the majority of poultry lovers
appreciate the scientific breeding Of
the large utility fowls, they have very
little sympathy for the fancier who
calculates the weight Of his favorite
breed in ounces instead of pounds,
says Country Life in America.
The question that is always put to
the bantam fancier is: "Of what use
are these pygmies of the poultry
yard?" The answer is: "None what
ever" So far as utility goes they are
valueless, and commercially speaking.
they do not amount to much. On the
other hand, the pleasure Of being able
to produce even one little specimen
that matches the requirements Of the
STANDARD Of perfection more than
makes up for their deficiency in other
respects, so far as a genuine fancier is
concerned. Bantam raising is purely a
time fancier did not choose as his
ideal a variety that would on the face
Of things be an easy one to produce. 1t
is this fight against nature. as it were,
that offers the great charm of the fan
c.er.

Wolves Tra.d a Hunter.

Edouard Leduc, shantyman. who has
just returned from Des Joachims, had
a narrow escape from falling the vic
tim Of a pack of wolves, says the Otta-
wa correspondent of the Toronto
Globe
The shanty to which Leduc was at.
tached is located ten miles north of
Des Joachims, and he went out one
day recently to shoot partridge. About
sundown he started back for camp
again, when he heard a patter and saw
the forms of four footed beasts all
around him.
Leducs gun was a light weapon of
one barrel, and he took small tree in
preferences TO risking the continuance
Of his journey There he remained all
night and for hours. he says, he
could see the gray shadows steathiy
moving about, their green eyes flash
ing. Once or twice he fired at some
of the pack which ventured nearer
than the others. Just before the day
broke the animals disappeared and he,
hungry and stiff, climbed down from
his perch.
