SENATOR SPaONEG, Of Wisconsin,, in
the Senate on Monday declared his con-
yiciion that great many Of the sched-
ules ofthe Dingey taril were so high
as TO prove detrimental instead Of bene-
fetal to the country. Mr.. SPOoner's
remark came as the reply to statement
of Mr.. Aldricb, in which he challenged
Mr.. Spooneis loyalty 10 the principle
Of protection TO American industries.
II am as good a protectionist as the
Senator from Rhode Island, declared
Mr.. Spooner, although / have thought
Tor some years that the tariff ought to
be revised. We have had policy for
great many years TO protect American in
dnsthes by the levyiug Of adequate duties.
1 have been in favor Of that policy. have
always supported it. am in favor of
j, now, although think a great many
of the duties are excessive and therefore
detrimental because OF their excess.
Senator Ia Toilette, Of Wisconsin, yes
lerlay announced himself in favor of an
immediate revision Of the tariff lie
would revise the iarif at an extra ses
sion Of Congress to be called immediate
y after March 4, if such thing were
possible. There are but few Senators
now serving who do not believe that the
tariff should he revised, bnt they don't
seem 10 know how or when to begin.
There is Little doubt that if a vote on the
onestion of q tariff revision could he
taken i; would be carried by large ma.
j0rity.

THURSDAY EVENING, FEE. Il, 1907

THR DEATHS in Frederick, Nd, ie"
days ago of Charlt. f. aud Alice Bentz,
brother and sister, brings to light q
strange phase which is occasionally
manifested by some members OF the
human race. The couple, although
with many thousands Of dollars at thor
disposal, as well az being possessed OF
considerable real estate, had allowed
themselyes to freeze to death. They had,
it is supposed, denied themselves nutri-
tious food, as well as ali comforts OF life
in order to amass wealth. An exami-
nation of the premises occupied by the
couple resulted in the discovery OF con
siderable money which bad been
s,creted in various places. The above
c,lls 10 mind the case Of Danitl
Dancer, an English miSer, who lived
in the eighteenth century. He and
bis sister occupied email house
for many years. Both were OF a
misery nature, and the determination Of
their lives wss never to relax hold OF O
nenny that ever came into their hands.
II is said that the bill of fare OF the
couple consisted Of suel dumPlings,
fourteen of which we're boiled on Mon
dav. and that this diet was never
CHANGED Dancer VAS his own cobbltr
and he had mended his shOos 20 often
that they resembled hog trOughs. The
sister literally clothed herself in rag',
and when she moved abont her mp
pearance is said to have suggested a
hay stack. The brother wore The
same hat for fourteen years, and when
some person gave him another cap
ulical covering he sid it for shilling
and donned his old hat sgiin. The sis-
Ter finally died, it was supposed from
starvation alter which Dancer became
sick. Lady Tempest, a neighbOr, sent
him a choice dish and when it reached
che miser II was cold. 1t was necessary
"a heat Il before il could be eaten, and
il ia said Dancer, rather than incur the
expense Of fire, placed the dish under
him while he vas lying in bed in order
10 impart the proper temperature to IT.
After the death OF the niggardly man an
inventory OF his effects rosealed the iaet
that he was worth about fifty Thousand
dollars. Money %as lOundin chimneys,
barns and buried at different places on
his farm.
