Jim Jeffries Retires.

In about ten days this country will
have no champion heavyweight pugil-
list. for Jim Jeffries will at that time
resign to become a gold miner. He
proposes to hunt for gold in quartz
veins instead of gold in the pockets
of the admirers of. the manly art of
smashing the ribs and other parts of
an antagonist. The resigning cham
pion casts no reflections on the ladder
by which he has risen, but he says
there is little money in the prize ring
business. He therefore will pull out
of it. preferring to mine gold hidden
in the earth.
This is all very well morally and
individually, but it leaves the country
bereft of a champion, and what is a
country without a champion? And
how are We to acquire one? AS things
stand after Jeffries resigns, any man
of size and weight can claim to be the
champion heavyweight pugilist of the
country, and every state, and perhaps
every city, will be equipped with a
champion. The sitting and analyzing
process will be long and difficult, and
in the end there will not be left, in all
human probability, a man who could
successfully stand before California S
redoubtable boiler-maker.
The truth is. prize fighting is de-
cadent, and Jeffries but anticipates
the decision of the public. There is
no longer any money in it, and it is
really this that leads the unconquered
pugilist to declare that on Monday
week he will make his bow as a public
character, never again to be seen
either on the stage or in the prize
ring. He is about to take a wise step.

RETURN OF THE cRINoLINE.

feet that crinolines are Coming in" again.
1t has long been the fashion to regard
those curious cages as too unspeakably

Germany's Tariff Policy.

Germany is alert in trade matters
The Dingleyites have pigeonholed a
liebral reciprocity proposal, and Ger.
many has served notice that the tariff
agreement of five years ago will be
ended on March 1 next. A writer in
the North American Review thus
shows what will then take place:
1.-THE duty on bacon is raised from 20
marks per 100 Kilograms In the old tariff
to 36 In the new, or so per cent; on canned
beef, from Is marks per 100 kilograms in
the old tariff TO go marks, plus a surtaX
of 20 per cent in the new. making a total
increase of $50 per cent; on lard and cot
ton seed oil, from 10 marks in the old
tariff to Il. so marks in the new. or % per
cent the duty on various kinds of lum-
Der Is Increased about % per cent the
old duty of "a marks on sewing machines
Is raised to 35 marks or As per cent: the
Increase of duty on other kinds of ma
chinery, such as typewriters. agricultural
implements, ETC., reaches as high as ~
and 100 per cent; the duty on wheat, which
has been $50 marks per 100 kilograms
under the conventional tariff still in force,
Is raised to $50 marks per 100 kilograms
(about so cents per busheD. or over ia
per cent; on corn, from ]. go marks to 8
marks, or 2l2 per cent; on flour, from
7.SO to 1875 marks, or 156 per cent"
Our products will thus become sub
ject when exported to that country to
the maximum rates of that country's
new general tariff Our trade will be
hard hit in order to let the stand
patters hold fast to all their protec-
ton privileges. The Senate stands by
the protection robbers, and our trade
with Germany will receive a severe
blow simply because the standpatters
prefer their special privileges to the
general good of the country. 1t is in
fact Dingleyism in the concrete and
in the Senate. Germany, next to Great
Britain, is our best customer.
1t has been made to appear that
Germany is endeavoring to coerce this
country into a support of its meddle-
some policy in Morocco, but all such
talk is nonsense. Germany simply pro.
poses to secure from this country a
reciprocity treaty such as she has ne
gotiated with seven other countries.

Wisconsin's knti-Graft Law.

Wisconsin's anti-graft bill Is now a
law, and grating in business is now
as unlawful as grating in politics IN
Wisconsin. 1t provides that whoever
corruptly gives or offers any servant
or employe any gift or gratuity with
the intention of influencing his actions
in relation to his employers business,
or any employee who requests or ac-
cepts such gift, shall be liable to a
fine of from $3.50 TO $500, or to such
a fine and Imprisonment for one year.
This law is so broad and compre-
hensive that it includes even tips to

The tipping nuisance is widespread.
Even bill collectors expect nowadays
an "honorarism."
Even Uncle Sam is subject to the
practice. He has fully recognized it,,
for the Secretary of the Navy has
issued, or will soon issue, an order
regulating the expenses of naval Off

follows
"Hotel bills of commissioned officers not
to exceed So a day.
"Sngle meals, 81 each; tip, 10 cents.

Tips will not be allowed on parlor car,
except on journey of five hours or longer.

pate. 1t will be time to cross the
bridge of tips in Wisconsin when we
come to it. The tip is the million
aires way of being more quickly
served and getting better things than
the poor man does, and as long as we
have millionaires in our midst we will
no doubt have the tipping nuisance.

ROGERS HELPED MARK TWAIN.
Standard Oil Vce-Presldent Saved
Copyrights.

The Worlds Work for May tells for
the first time the story Of Henry IL.
Rogers service to Mark Twain. 1t be-
gan long before the Standard Oil man
knew Mr.. Clemens. Once, years ago, Mr..
Rogers read "Roughing r." He not only
read 1t again, but he read 1t to his wife
and to his children. He said If l ever
have the chance to help the man who
wrote it, l will" And the chance came.
When Webster & Co. (of which Mark
Twain was a member) allied, every asset
of the famous humorist, including the
copyrights of his books, went down in
the wreck. 1t was what is called "a bad
failure Mr.. Clemens surrendered every
thing. Not long afterward, he walked
into the Murray Hill hotel one night with
Dr. Rice, a well known New York spe-
cialist A man with a white mustache
was seated a divan in the middle of
the lobby.
"There's the man you ought to know"
said DIR. Rice, land he'd like to know
you. That's Henry II. Rogers"
DIR. Rice presented Mr.. Clemens. Mr..
Rogers knew of the Webster failure. He
asked permission to be of service. In
forty-eight hours he was managing the
authors business affairs. He gave his
time, worth thousands of dollars day, to
recoup the fortunes of broken literary
man. Into it he put all his business acu-
men and energy. He found that Webster
& Co. owed Mrs. Clemens personally $685..
900 cash lent from her own pocket upon
the FIRMS notes He made her a preferred
creditor and to secure the claim gave her
the copyrights of her husbands books.
In this way the books were saved for
Mr. Clemens. They have been his princi-
pal assets. They were worth more to
him then than the gift of half a million
dollars in cash. Mr.. Rogers saw Mr..
Clemens safely through these trying bust
ness troubles. But he did not stop there.
Ever since he has, with few others,
constituted himself a guardian of Mr..
Clemens business affairs. Last year he
aided in communicating the deal for the
publication of Mark Twain's complete
works which placed the author beyond
financial care for the rest of his days.
Out of that service has grown affec-

always protested against proselytism, as
they place proselytes in the same category

Electric LIGHT Signs.

Under ordinary circumstances I might
object to the electrict light signs that
are being put up over the city but l have
come to the conclusion that they have
virtues that fully compensate for what
ever objection there might be raised
against them" remarked an alderman
yesterday.
They help wonderfully in lighting up
the streets and Illuminating the city up
to midnight and Birmingham needs all
the lights on the streets possible
Birmingham really needs more street
lights but the city has not been in con-
dition to put them up and every light
displayed on the streets is a help to the
city's illumination.
1 understand that several more of these
electric signs are to be put up in the
business section of the city at once"
