EoR FREE ART.

The large percentage of the public
that favOrs the removal of the tariff
on works of art will be interested in
knowing that the fight is to be carried
into the present session of congress.
This although it has been announced
by the leaders of the Republican ma
jority that there will be no "tinkering
with the tariff this winter. However
the hope is held out that a single bill
having for its purpose the admission
of foreign works of art without duty,
may be enacted into law.
Certainly an act of this character
could not be regarded as an opening
of the entire question of the tariff. II
could hardly be made an excuse for re-
vising other schedules, however much
those schedules stand in need of re-
vision. Knowing the hopelessness OF
general revision at this session, the
congressman who are in favor of re-
vision would hardly jeopardize the
passage of free art bill by threats to
go into the subject generally if free
art bill is introduced One little step
is better than nothing.
The injustice of the duty on art
works is quite generally recognized. II
was designed originally to protect
American artists, to prevent competi-
ton by foreigners against them. But
American artists as a rule are in favor
of removing the duty. They are not
afraid of any competition from abroad
that might follow. The true artist is
never afraid of competition from any,
where, for the true artist has faith in
himself and his work. At the same
time he knows that he can get valuable
ideas and suggestions from the work OF
others.
1t has been argued that, as only the
rich can afford to import foreign works
of art they can also afford to pay the
duty. Strictly speaking. that is true
enough, but rich men are very often
deferred by the duty from making i'm
pOrtations. They feel that there is a
limit beyond which they must not go
Nor are the works of art imported by
wealthy Americans always designed
for their exclusive enjoyment. In the
course Of time every collection that is
really worthy finds its way into a pub
lie gallery or museum, where every
body may go to see them easily and
often.
The Herald sincerely hopes that the
free art bill will be introduced and
passed at this session of congress. The
national lawmakers could not do a
more graceful thing.

Worthy of Consideration.

When so many of the weather. own
ers of securities and valuables of all
kinds have demonstrated that they con-
slider our proposition to take care of
their valuables at cost of $3.50 a year,
or less than cent day, a worthy one,
it is time for people in surrounding
counties, who have not the facilities in
their own towns to keep their valua-
bles safe from fire or burglary, to
bring their possessions here. take one
of our safety deposit boxes and rest
assured that everything they put in it
viii be perfectly safe.
Already we have a large number of
box holders who live in surrounding
towns who have found this department
of our business a great convenience
inasmucb as they can make business
appointments with any one with whom
they may have transactions, and can
conduct that business in one of our
rooms in absolute privacy. This is
only one of the many conveniences
open to those who have keys TO our
safety deposit vaults.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION AT LAST.

Sometimes the English are laughably
slow about finding the most direct
method of unraveling a tangle. The
Druce-Duke OF Portland case is a fair
example. For weeks the newspapers
of the United States and England have
been printing reports of the proceed
ings brought by bruce TO have him
self declared the Duke of Portland
oustins the present holder of the title
from his title and entailed estates. He
declares that he is the son of T. c.
bruce. who was the Duke of Portland
The duke was an eccentric Individual
who. to while away time that hung
heavily on his hands, masqueraded as
T. =. bruce. a bookseller. When. at
last. he tired of playing the part of
Druee he arranged TO have bruce, ap-
parcntly, die. a funeral followed. but,
according TO some of the testimony,
the coffin that was supposed TO contain
The body of bruce actually did contain
only d roll of lead. bruce being dis
posed Of, the Duke of Portland became
himself again, eventually TO be gath
cred 10 his fathers.
Now the simplest way of solving the
problem has always been the opening
OF the coffin that was said to contain
the body of bruce. In America that
would have been done weeks ago. It
seems 20 have just occurred to the
English court. If the coffin is found to
contain only a roll of lead the case of
the plaintiff will be given great deal
more strength. If. on the other hand,
it contains the body Of man who can
be identified as bruce the plaintiffs
case viii surely fall to the ground.
OF course. during the years that have
ELAPSED since the death, OF the sup
posed death Of bruce, 1t may have
been possible for some interested party
to substitute a roll of lead for the body
or a body for the roll of lead. From
strictly legal standpoint the opening
of the coffin will not definitely deter
mine the matter. But it would deter
mine it in the minds of an average
Jury. and it seems mostssurprising that
the plan has not been carried out be-
fore.

FATALITIES IN THE ALPS.

| SeVenty-fiVe persons were killed and
/ $50 were seriously injured during the
past season while climbing various
peaks in the Alps. according to statis-
tics just issued. A comparison with
| figures of other years shows that both
fatalities and injuries of a more or less
| serious character are annually increas-
ing. In spite of the recognized danger
of mountain climbing. and especially in
the Alps, more people every year are
| engaging in it. The Switzerland, Ger
man, Italian and Austrian authorities
are now giving the matter joint con-
sideration, with a view to preventing
accidents in future. if possible.
One proposition is to prohibit climb
ing at points known to be dangerous
without procuring first the services of
| registered guides. 1t is asserted that
| by far the greater part of the casual
ties are among those who make ascents
without guides. And very often people
who have had considerable experience
in mountain climbing. who have come
TO the conclusion that they know as
much as the guides, lose their lives. If
all the climbers can be compelled to
hire guides it is believed many casual
ties will be averted.
America furnished only a small pro-
portion of this years accidents. Swift
zerland stood first. with Germany, Eng
land and Italy in the order named. The
gathering of flowers caused the great
est number of fatalities. Four women,
for example, were lost while endeavor-
ing to gather edelweiss. In their eager
ness TO secure it they found themselves
in dangerous places before they real
lied it, and we're then unable to get
out. Some OF the accidents were caused
by attacks of heart failure. Expert
enced people believe that this ailment
has caused many fatalities that We're
heretofore attributed to sudden loss of
footing.
A proposition to station medical at
tendants along frequented routes, so
that climbers may receive advice and
help when they need it is meeting with
favor ana it would doubtless be of de-
cided benefit. It might be well, too,
to require a physicians certificate as
to soundness of heart before permit
ting any individual to begin an ascent.
Mountain climbing is a most ex-
hilarating sport, as indeed. is almost
any sport that contains an element of
danger. Thousands of people will con-
tinue to engage in it, and all the safe,
guards with which it can be surround
ed should be placed around it.

QUEER CHINESE REPUBLIC.
Hitherto Unknown Territory DiscoV-
cred in the Far East.

Isl. Petersburg Cor n. Y TimeS.)
An account is published in the
Bourse Gazette of a hitherto unknown
Chinese republic in Russian territory
in the far east, on the Imam river, be
tween Bialy and Dyassyan, a barren
country not far from Vladivostok The
republic, which has escaped the atten-
ton of the Russian administration and
has made a set of laws of its own, is
called the republic of Imam. One of the
paragraphs of its laws, called "the
first law of the Turkey Red Fustian, -
contains the constitution and rules of
conduct, as follows:
These are the laws approved by the
Celestial Chinese government (Tun-
Ten-LOO) for the valley of the River
Imam (GunthuD and the surrounding
country:
Brothers, we have taken the oath in
the sight of heaven to govern the Imam
valley and its neighborhood, the Chi
nese citizen brothers and the Orochon
helots. as well as the guests and the
newcomers among US, according to
law and justice, and ALI violations of
our statutes will be punished without
the slightest clemency in accordance
with the following rules:
Gambling, card playing, keeping
bank, etc, are permitted only one
month in the year, from Nov. 10 to
Dec. 10. Those guilty of violating this
rule are punished by fine of $500 net
of their movable property and a fat
pig and twenty blows with a stick;
this punishment affects only gamblers
who have not the right to gamble, not
being registered in the list of Gross
Brothers. The bank keeper, the house
owner and the gambling clerk are
equally subject to punishment.
"If any of our subjects steals sable
skins from another's house or relieves
the set traps of others of this valuable
animal or takes it from another's
grounds, he is punished by burial
alive
Whoever steals the precious ginseng
root is put to death by drowning with
out any exercise of mercy.
Whoever steals panti-opium is bu-
ried alive without clemency.
Guests have the right to three days
free board and lodging at every house
in the republic. After this term ex-
pires they must pay 40 kopeks per day
for food, and if they happen to arrive
in the course of the celebration of the
Chinese New Year they must contrib
ute Is rubles for the said celebration.
Everybody is obliged TO keep a
watchdog at his house. If he has none
he must borrow one from his neighbor,
and if such a dog dies the neighbor has
no right to claim ii back. For viola
ton of this law one is punishable by
forty blows with the stick.
IF any Workmen or guests are seen
to fraternize according to the -Eayste-
rious rites of the Cross Brotherhood
and the landlord does not report such
fraternization to the authorities he is
fined e400 Of movable property. while

WONDERFUL SHOOTING.
Done BY Professionals at Montpelier Gun
Clubs Range.

The large number Of people who went
to the range Of the Montpelier Gun cluh
yesterday afternoon were highly enter
tanned BY the trick shooting of Mr.. and
Mrs. Adolph Topperwein of San Antonio.
Texas, and j. NOVEL; Hawkins, all OF
whom are professionals. In a team shoot
prior TO the fancy and trick shooting,
Mr. Hawkins hit o. birds out Of total
Of 100 and Mrs. Topperwein broke 92.
Mr. and Mrs. Topperwein are the origi-
majors of many marvellous fancy and
trick shots which they gave yesterday
amid great applause. One Of Mr.. Topper
veins tricks was to shoot rifle rapid
ly, and with the bullets draw the outline
of the head of an Indian chief on Fargo
sheet of tin. Mrs. Topperwein took up
shooting only three years ago, and her
first public appearance was at the worlds
fair IN st. Louis. They left on the af-
ternoon train for Plattsburg, where they
win give another exhibition today.
Following the exhibition shoot the
Montpelier and Mortified Gun clubs
pulled on the third shoot in series Of
five for trophy cup. The shoot re-
suited as follows: Montpelier 3sf birds
out Of a possible 500 and Northfeld s66

Three-year Old Luigi Sassi
Stepped On
WHILE PLAYING in STREET
Taken to City Hospital and 1t Is Not
Yet Known What the Extent Of His
Injuries Are. Accident Yester-
day Afternoon.


Little three-year old Luigi SASH and
his six-yem old sister were playing ON
the city hall park yesterday afternoon,
and in the course OF the play the sister
held her hand under the faucet Of the
drinking fountain and playfully threat
ened to throw the water on her brother.
The latter ran into the street and, not
seeing where he RAM went directly in
front Of passing team. The horses
feet knocked the lad over and one foot
landed on the little fellows leg aud am
other foot fell on his abdomen.
It all happened SO quickly that the
driver Of the team did not see the boy
until he was directly in front Of the
horse, but as the animal was only walk
ing the team was stopped instantly,
while the sister bravely rescued the boy
from the horses feet and dragged him to
the sidewalk. Then stronger arms car
ried the injured boy to his mother, Mrs.
Amelia Sassi, who works in the Chinese
laundry in the Durkee building. The
child was then taken to the City hospital
where an examination showed several
bad bruises, but no bones broken. 1t Is
hoped that the lad suffered no internal
injuries, though this cannot be deter
mined for day OF two.
