When the statue of Stonewall Jack

July u, 1891, not a few soldiers who
had fought against him were found
among those who had come to honor
his memory. In a crowd of old Con

The Tariff Tinker Never Sleeps.

The TartH Tinker Never Sleeps.
The tariff tinker is one of the most
unique of modern freaks In promoting
his favorite scheme for the unbalancing
of business equilibrium he never sleeps.
He Is the fostering so;a and the inter-
mittent fever that afilicts struggling en-
terprises and he yields only to heroic
remedies.
1t is undoubtedly true that the tariff
could never be adjusted to suit every
body. Probably each and every one of
the 500 manufacturers who assembled
in New Yors recently could suggest a
tariff that would benefit his particular
business.
But how about the thousands of
workingmen, manufacturers and mer-
chants whose interests would not be
considered In the revision?

or its substitute tariff revision"
there is no question that under present

FORTY HURT IN CRASH.
Seattle (Wash.) Street Cars Come To-

Badly Injured.

men, women and children were injured,
twenty-six of them seriously, in a street
car accident here yesterday when two
speeding cars crashed into each other in
a dense fog. Both cars were smashed
up. The accident was due to the fool
hardy attempt Of the conductor and
motorman of a city bound car to steal a
switch on an outbound car.

persons were more or less seriously in
iured about 30 o'clock this morning

Larimer, near Greensburg, Pa. All the
passengers received a severe shaking up
and narrowly escaped injury or death.
The impact was terrific and the passen-

of the cars. Train escaped a disastrous
wreck because it was travelling only
twenty miles an hour. The injured are
all fasteners.

TO KILL TOBACCO PEST.
Government Expert Believes He Has
Found Way to Exterminate the
Dreaded Cut Worm.

HOPKINSVILLE, KY, Nov. 12.-At
the meeting of the Christian County En-
ecutive Committee of the Dark Tobacco
Planters Protective association, held Ill
this city, was an address by A. G. Nor
gan, a government expert, who has beef
studying and experimenting IN the dark
tobacco district since July, with the to-
bacco worm. so as to find, if possible, a
way to exterminate the pest which an
nually costs the farmers of the tobacco
region thousands of dollars by eating
their crop in the field.
He also urges the farmers to destroy
the suckers after the tobacco has been
cut. He found that this afforded an e,N-
cellent breeding and feeding place for the
worms. and that at the approach of frost
they went into the ground. When thi.
ground was spaded up the worms were
found in great numbers.
He states that if the suckers are not
allowed to grow in this way the quantity
of the worms will be diminished.

NOTED PHYSICIAN
VISITS EMPEROR,
Prof. Sir Felix Semor, Throat Specialist,
Comes to Windsor Castle-Can
Is of Significance.

WINDSOR. England, Nov. 12.-Prof.
Sir Felix Semon, physician extraordi-
nary to King Edward, noted throat
specialist, was a visitor at the castle
this morning. Those in the encourage
of Emperor William say he called sole
ly to see his friend, DR.. IEberg, the EN-
perors physician, with whom, after u
brief stay at the castle he went out to
inspect the Kings sanitarium at Frog
more.
1t is regarded as hardly conceivable,
however, that a specialist of the proml-
hence of Prof. Semon, knowing the sur
misses to which his visit under the cir
cumstances would be bound to give rise,
would have ventured to the castle unless
for the purpose of a consultation regard
ing the Emperor's throat trouble.
In any event his majesty's GONZALES
cence appears to be uninterrupted. This
morning he showed no signs of fatigue
after his journey. He was astir at an
early hour and declared his cold was
much better. After breakfast the EN-
peror accompanied King Edward on q
shooting expedition in Windsor forest.
