sion, on Baltimore tariff appeal, is
of interest to Hawaiian sugar planters.

from 100000 to 100000 worth year

the Treasury in fixing the rupee value
at 81 cents instead of 20 cents as claim
ed by Baltimore importers of gunny
sacks. As the Hawaiian importers have
been paying duty at the higher rate.

ward for his inestimable services. So I'M
worldly was he-or so capricious-that he
frequently refused his help to the powerful
and wealthy where the problem made no
appeal to his sympathies, while he would
devote weeks of most intense application to
the affairs of some humble client whose case
presented those strange and dramatic quail
ties which appealed to his imagination and
challenged his ingenuity.
In this memorable year 95 a curious and
fncongruous succession of cases had en-
gagged his attention, ranging from his ia
nous investigation of the sudden death of
Cardinal Tosca-an inquiry which was car
rled out by him at the express desire of his
holiness the pope-down to his arrest of
wilson, the notorious canary trainer, which
removed a plague spot from the East End
OF London. Close on the heels of these two
famous cases came the tragedy of Wood
mans Lee, and the very obscure circum-
stances which surrounded the death of Capt
Peter Carey. No record of the doings of
Mr.. Sherlock Holmes would be complete
which did not include some account Of this
very unusual affair.
During the first week of July nv friend
had been absent so often and so long from
our lodgings that knew he had something
on hand The fact that several rough
looking men called during that time and in

me, and II was not my habit to force a con-

gave me of the direction which his investi-
cation was taking was an extraordinary
one. He had gone out before breakfast,
and had sat down to mine when he strobe
into the room, his hat upon his head and a
huge barbed-headed spear tucked like an
umbrella under his arm.
