SIXTY PER CENT.
MUST BE PAID
ON THE $4,000 PEARL NECK.
LACE IMPORTED BY MRS.
w. 3. LEEDS.

NEW YORK, June 3.-Customs du-
ties of 60 per cent. must be paid on
the $4,000 pearl necklace imported
from France by Mrs. William B. Leeds,
under a decision rendered by Judge
Lacombe in TIE United States Court
today. This decision sustained the
ruling made by the Collector of the
Port. which subsequently was set
aside BY the Board of General APP
praisers. 1t was the result of an ap"
peal taken by the Government from
the finding of the general board. At
ter the necklace was purchased IN
France the pearls were separated and
brought to this country as individual
gems. in the belief that they would be
admitted upon the payment of 10 per
cent. duty which the law provides for
individual pearls. The Collector or
the Fort. however, ruled that as the
pearl had been used as a necklace
and were intended to be used In that
form again the full duty of 60 per
cent. should be levied.

Lean, Dark Horse.

4 iermly believe that one OF the
motives is, that there is a very lean,
dark horse hitched out in the brushes,
who is whining for my stall in the
United States senate.
But alas, alas for human patience.
1t is five years yet and five crops OF
corn must fade into fodder before the
gate is open.
Il shall spend that time in prayer
that we may have a statewide pri-
mary law before my term expires,
guaranteeing to the majority the right
to rule, and that before the final hour
shall come the Sycamore powder trust
will explode and blow the Louisville
& Nashville railroad out of Tennessee
politics.
Il shall pray that Tennessee and the
national government shall stop the
diversion of assets which belong 10

a newspaper for political purposes and
for personal abuse and SANDER Of those
who dare to oppose its methods.
The railroads throughout the coun-
try are complaining of the hardship
slich public agitation and national
and state laws have brought upon
them.
If could get the ear of the Syca-

tain railroads in Tennessee, ] would
say to him that the railroads them
selves have brought their trouble upon
their own heads by the violation OF

LIFT BAN FROM DANCING.
Methodist Ministers of New York OPP
pose Prohibition of Amusements.


New York, April THE New York
Methodist conference adopted the reso-
luton asking for the elimination OF
clause No. 24S of the Book of Disciples,
which prohibits card playing, theaters
dancing and other amusements. The
question will now come before the gen.
eral conference in the shape of a rec
ommendation or request of the New
York conference.
The attitude of the New York confer
ence was indicated when the resolution
was passed almost unanimously and
with little debate. The general feeling
of the members was that the rule was
antiquated, useless and met with
scanty observance save in very small
communities and that it would be bet
ter for the church if wholesome amuse-
ment and recreation We're encouraged
rather than put under a ban.
There We're but seven votes recorded
against the resolution. Its passage ere
ated surprise among some, even of
those who voted for it,
The resolution, it was explained, does
not take Methodism from its historic
position in the matter of amusements,
but places such matters within the
conscience of the individual.

WITH FLEET
In THE PACIFIC
The Citizens Of Rio de Janeiro
Welcome and Speed the
United States Fleet.
THE COMING AND The GOING

Through the courtesy of Mrs. Cur
tbs, mother of Mrs. G. A. Reed, we are
enabled to present to our readers the
following from Rio de Janeiro paper.
Mrs. Curtis son is fleet surgeon of the
U. s. Vessels in the Pacific, and with
all the others participating is ENJOY
ing the trip around the world (the die
tiCn and spelling of the Rio paper are
followed):
! Everybody knows that it is far easier
| to welcome ones friends than to say
| to them, Adieu, ANYWAY that is what
we feel about it, and all the more so,
because those friends have so endeared
themselves to us, as to make the part
ing painful. They called on US in full
battle array, laid seize to our hearts
and conquered. From what they tell
US though, the grief. is not all in our
side, they, also fell a twinge, great
pain of regret in parting with their
newly made friends.
Never before in the history of Brazil
has the country been called upon TO
entertain so many guests and never
before have the people of Brazil been
more glad Of the opportunity, to treat
right loyalty visitors such as they have
had the honour to welcome during the
last ten days.
About sixteen thousand men, and to
say goodbye to all of them, seems a
big task, particularly when you do not
want to say it, and would much prefer
to ask them to remain a while longer
But it cannot be, duty's cause must
be obeyed. We had become accustomed
to the white and blue uniforms, with
the little stars on the shoulders, in al
I most every part of our city, beautiful
resorts, and the waters of our Bay
Now-the places will seem deserted.
The tram loads of sailors Ginning up
the heights of Corcovado and Tijuca,
or winding their way towards the Zoo
or the Botanical gardens, or trailing
round the beautiful Bay of Botafogo
on their way to Leme and Ipanema,
will be no longer seen.
The jovial ring Of mirth from the
tables at the cafes in the Avenida will
no longer be heard. And the pretty
picture of The war ships in the Bay
will be lost to view.
The breakfast, dinners and dances
to which each day, we looked forward,
the little party entertainments, ten
mis- matches and base ball games, will
be sorely missed but with US will re-
main the memories of those pleasant
times, the way in which they enjoyed
themselves and relished our hospitali-
ty will make us long, to entertain
them again.
Yesterday on board the Minnesota
some of US called to wish them God
speed on their journey, and in the
most lavish manner they showed how
well they liked us and appreciated our
efforts to make their stay in Rio most
enjoyable. Most of us have made some
fast friends, and into our lives have
come an interest before unknown.

SOFT COAL MEN OUT.
Quarter of Million Miners Quit Work
In Bitumnous District.

In Bituminous District.
Pittsburg, April 7.-Committees rep
resenting operators and miners having
failed to agree at a joint wage confer
ence, the bituminous coal mines OF
western Pennsylvania closed down for
an indefinite period-until a working
agreement can be reached.
Reports from other states in which
soft coal mining is carried on show
that nearly 250,00O men have stopped
work in the absence of agreements be-
tween the United Mine Workers union
in the various districts and the opera
tors.
The question of wages is not directly
involved, for the miners are asking no
increase in compensation, and the OPP
orators are not asking them to accept
a reduction. The most serious differ
ence before the joint committee was
the period to be covered by the wage
agreement adopted The operators are
against any settlement for a period of
less than two years. The miners are
not willing to accept last years terms
lOI luOIe tudu- one year. 1ue operators
are also opposed to general strikes and
insist upon a clause in the agreement
that will prevent miners in one mine
quitting work because of grievances in
some other mine. The operators also
insist upon clause providing for set
Element of differences by conferences,
appeals and arbitration.
Operators say they are willing but
by no meanssanXious to continue under
old conditions. The miners are particu-
larly worried over the situation be-
cause, this being neither a strike nor
lockout, they cannot draw benefits.
1t is generally believed that the diff
ferences between the miners and oper-
ators will be satisfactorily adjusted
soon.
President Lewis of the miners I'M
ion is endeavoring TO revive the inter
state unit rule. In the meantime dis.
trict joint meetings are being held in
the various states.
