BEVERfDGE DEFENDS BILL
ON TARIFF COMMITS
SION.
Answers Criticisms Hurled at
Measure He Fathered in
Senate and Says Critics
Are Ignorant.

Senator Beveridge addressed
the Senate Tuesday afternoon in
support of legislation for a COM
mission to examine into tariff
schedules. He introduced a bill
on this subject some weeks ago.
Certain criticisms have been call
ed forth against the tariff COM
mission idea, and his speech Tues
day was devoted to answering
two of those criticisms. One of
the criticisms was that a tariff
commission was Objectionable be
cause it would require Congress
to part with its legislative pow
erS
Senator Beveridge maintained
that this criticism was not we'll
founded and asserted that those
who made it had not read the
measure. His bill. he explained
carefully, refrained from taking
any of the legislative powers
away from congress, and confined
the body OF experts solely to the
investigation of facts and report
ing thereon.
The second criticism which
Senator Beveridge met was the
one alleging that the commission
of 1882 had not accomplished any
substantial work. The Senator
denied this and sought to show
that Congress had followed close
ly the recommendations of that
commission in fixing a great
many of the schedules.

Pe-ru-na i'm Tablet Form.

Some people prefer to take tablets,
rather than to take medicine in a fluid
form. Such people can obtain Peruna
tablets, which represent the medicinal
ingredients of Peruna. Each tablet is
equivalent to one average dose Of Pc

were destroyed by fire today, enta:lins
a less OF 100000. The fire this evening

flames spread rapidly through the mill,
TWO other buildings attached to the

1t is estimated that about 100000 or
900 feet of lumber in the mill yards
was saved. The company carried no

nerS---1he Last Of the Premiums
Are Awarded the Exhibitors,

Rcadfield, Me, Sept. 17.-(SpeciaD.-
The closing day of the kennebec
county fair at Readfield was attended
by good crowd. an the racing, while
disappointing in some particulars. was
marked by brilliant features which
went long way toward redeeming
the program of the afternoon, and left
a Deter feeling of satisfaction in the
fortunate that one string of horses
should have had things about all it's
own way during the meeting, yet no
one could blame the Gerow Brothers
for the showing that they made or
the ability of their string of fast ones
to trim the other fields of horses. Rae
but the inevitable result, the winning
OF the races by the horses that wanted
the money. A glance at the back
stretch would convince the Verest
tyro among the race followers that it
was impossible to make fast time I'M
der such conditions. except at the ex-
pense of running ones horse. All the
horses, when they came in at the fin
ish, showed signs of having endured
as much or more in the way of hard
teaming, than they did on the fast
tracks of the big fairs earlier in the
season. That is the reason why horses
of the class of TriXey S. were defeated
i'll time as slow as 2.27R, after trying
hard 10 win.
All that was worth taking went to
the horses entered by C. w. Gerow of
Fort Fairfield and G.. W. Gerow of
Yarmouthville n. s. The Yarmouth
villc mare, Miss Casey, won the free
for-all with Shamrock of Fort Fairfield
ID, and the Fort Fairfield mare Moflie
L. took the special class which was
made up to take the place of the I'M
filed $50 class.
But altogether, the last day of the
fair was a success, and it would be a
to call it anything else. Ev-
erybOdy connected with the fair has
worked very hard. and a generous
measure of real applause should be
sounded by those who value the agri-
cultural prosperity of the old county of

Girl Found in Water al
New York Murder Victim
Unknown Man Believed 10
Have Caused Her DEATH;
locket Bearing Initial May Prove
4 Good Clue. i

Ned York, Sept. lin their effort ia
learn the identity Of the well-dressed
young woman whose body was found
floating off North Beach yesterday, the
police have concluded that an unknown
man was in some way concerned in the
death. In examining the beach thew
found footprints Of a man and a woman
leading to the waters edge. Only the
mans footprints returning could %. found.
Today the police learned that a young
woman answering the description OF the
dead girl boarded car near the Long
Island City ferry early yesterday morn
ing. She was accompanied by a man who
remained with her until the car had trav-
eled q considerable distance AS he was
leaving the man said to the conductor:
Take good care of this little girl She
is my sister" The young woman left the
car at point near where the BODY was
found in the sand.
The body lies today unknown and I'm.
claimed in the morgue in Long Island
City. Beyond the gold locket bearing the
initial ~" a purse upon which is in
scribed the address "Provincetown.
Mass" and the trademark of a New
" Pc .'iSh' 9''ie OH tile Slfl s coat,
nothing has been found which will assist
in the identification. The purse is of the
souvenir variety and there are probably
hundreds exactly like it in the possession
of vacationists who have visited the
resort.
1t is only upon the locket that the police
now are basing their hopes. They believe
that someone who has seen the trinket
may have known the young woman.
