THE NEW German customs tariff has
increased duties on American goods to a
surprising extent. On bacon the in
crease is so per cent. on illuminating
oil. &C per cent wheat, ia per cent;
wheat -four, 157 per cent; corn, PIP per
cent. dried fruit, $50 per cent; and
fresh oranges, 200 per cent On manu-
featured goods the changes are almost
equally great For instance, the tariff
on sewing machines is increased AZ per
cent. agricultural machinery, 20 to 8S
per ceat. steam engines and motors OF
all kinds, 40 to 1850 per cent; boots
and shoes, 70 to III per cent. and cot
ton seed oil about 20 per cent. The new
rates are of such moment to Americans
that they will be made the subject of
serious negotiations between this coun-
try and Germany as soon as Ambassador
Won Sternberg returns to Washington,
but what this country can do in regard
to the matter so long as it maintains its
present high tariff can hardly be fore
told.

In the report of the Board of Visitors TO the
United States Military Academy, at West
Point, N. Y, the statement is made that the
practice of hazing at the academy has been
entirely abolished. The board says that ii
has no hesitation in declaring that at no time
since the establishment Of the Military AGA
DENY have instruction and discipline been
more efficiently and satisfactorily conducted
than during the past year. The Board OF
Visitors expresses the belief that the regula-
ton exempting from examination students
who have been proficient in their work
throughout the year has proved of great
value because of the effect it has in stimulat-
ing students to keep up high standard
throughout the entire year.

the heads of the Treasury, War and In
terror Departments in Washington to
drive out the usurers doing business
within these departments, and to break
up certain organizations formed for

derstood that secret service agents are
working in several bureaus of the de-

already secured evidence of usurious
practices that may result in the dis
missal of number of clerks. No mercy
should be shown such clerks, for il is

coat. A large crowd of people and a
steady dcwnpour of rain greeted him.
1t was the first rain he had encountered
on his present trip. As the train stop
ped at Carlisle the crowd let loose a
chorus of cheers, a whistle some where
in the neighborhood set up an awful
screeching, and the President had nc
doubt that a large portion of his con-
.tituency was demanding his presence.
The President made the Carlisleites a
little speech from the platform of the
Signet. Just before the train left Bir-
mingham last night Secretary Loeb and
a local detective had an argument which
resulted to the sleuth' discontinue. The
detective rushed up the Presidents car
rage in the gloom and the Secretary
warned him away. Ppm a secret SER
vice man," cried the stranger. 81 don't
care who you are" replied the Secretary.
"You must not get too close to the Pres

the warning and received staggering
blow from the Secretary's fist. He
made a misdirected kick at the Score.

Some seasonable Advice.

1t may be piece of superauous adj
vice to urge people at this season of the
year to lay in a supply of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. 1t is almost sure to be
needed before winter is over, and much
more prompt and satisfactory results are
obtained when taken as soon as a cold is
contracted and before it has become set
tied in the system, which can only be
done by keeping the remedy at hand.
This remedy is 50 widely known and so
altogether good that no one should hesi-
tate about buying it in preference to any
other. 1t is for sale by Gibson & Tim
herman and w. Z. Creighton & Go.
