Won't Buy Boni a Paper.

PARIS, Sept. 26 ALL in vain have
been Count Boni de Castellane's plead
ing's for the purchase of the Paris
Press. His wife, formerly Miss Anna
Gould, still positively refuses to buy
it for him and set nim up as an editor.
The countess is reported to have said
that Boni has had too many expensive
playthings to weary of and throw
aside. and that she does not propose
to risk any more of her money in what
she feels is nothing more than a pass
ing whim. The count, much beset by
this direful state of things, will make
no overtures to end the serious family
ouarrels it has caused. His wife, he
says, is not only Withholding shekels,
but immortal fame, for the Paris Press
is a historic paper in which many OF
Balzac's novels first appeared in
serial form. The paper is to be sold
because Of the failure of it's owner
who was caught in a recent sugar
crash.

FOR DUAL TARIFF,
American Rec procaI Tariff League Is
Formed on Non-Partisan Lines.

CHICAGO, III, Sept. 26.-Determined
to stand firmly on their own feet to
act as the support for no political
boom, and to fight "the fight of the
vest for a dual tariff permitting for
eign trade, the executive committee of
the American Reciprocal Tariff league
met and organized yesterday in the
Great Northern building
The non political character of the
league, which is the result of the re-
ciprocity conference held in Chicago
last month, was shown by the fact that
neither Governor A. B. Cummins nor
any of his faction were put on the
committee.
Headquarters will be maintained in
Chicago, and William E. Skinner will
have charge of much of the executive
work in the great campaign to be
waged over the country in favor of the
dual tariff.
Gustave Scnwab, who represents the
New York Produce exchange, F. J.
Hagenbarth, president of the National
Stock Breeders association, and E. N
Foss, recognized leader of the reci-
procity forces in Massachusetts. are
the most prominent committeeman ap-

PLAN OF MAYOR HUNT TO HAN.

FINANCES ADOPTED.
Accounts of Water Office Will be First
o. KID by the Council Before Be-
ing Paid.

Five members Of the council met at
he water registrars office in the
Keefer building this morning and
adopted the plan suggested by Mayor
Hunt to change the method of hond-
ling the finances of ne later depart
ment. Councilmen Glasford, Cox
Bacntold, Bridges and Mexican and
Mayor Hunt were present The new
plan does away with the water regis
trar being furnished a sum each
month to pay the current expenses
and requires each bill contracted in
the water department to be first add
tied by the water committee and then
referred TO the council as a whole to
pass on before being ordered paid by
warrant A new form of warrant will
be adopted and these must be first
signed by the mayor and clerk and
countersigned by the water registrar
before being valid.
The new plan was thoroughly in
vestigated before being adopted
Councilman Mexican was of the opin-
ion that it might confuse matters
when freight bills, ETC., were brought
in that required immediate pay
ment This will be overcome, now
ever, by giving the mayor and clerk
power to issue warrants for freight
bills and sundry accounts that moy
require attention before the council
as a whole would meet. Under the
new plan every bill contracted by
the water department must first meet
the approval of the council before Or
dered paid. The new warrants will
bear per cent interest. At pres
emf the water department is replacing
much of the old wornout pipe in the
city in order to be in readiness for
new gravity water system when 1t
is decided to put in such system
AS the expenditures in the water de-
| partment in carrying on the work
! exceeds considerably the revenues the
water department has been compell-
ed to borrow from the general fund OF
the city. This in turn runs the city

plan Of issuing water department
warrants was suggested by Mayor
