TO HEAR OTHER SIDE.
Tariff Reductionists VIII Have an
Inning With the Committee.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-When today's
hearing before the house ways and
means committee for the consideration
of the schedule of the tariff covering
sundries began it was expected that it
would develop the most radical tariff
reduction testimony that has yet been
presented at the hearings. This attitude
was expected to be assumed more par
ticularly with regard to hides and
leather, coal, agricultural implements
and works of art. The Sundries sche-
dule is of greater general interest than
any other of the tariff.
Shoe and leather manufacturers from
every part of the United States were
scheduled to appear before the commit
tee today to make a strong fight to
have hides again placed on the free
list. The Republican members of the
committee are said to look faVOrably
upon a reduction in the duty on hides,
especially as it has been the policy of
the Roosevelt administration to take
every possible means to increase the
trade relations between the United
States and South America whence most
of the hides are imported.
Representative Champ Clark, of Mis-
souri,, and the other Democratic mem
bers of the committee probably will
seize the opportunity to probe the So
called beef trust" and testimony in
this connection will prove interesting,
al those who favor free entry of hides
contend that the large packers are the
only ones WHO derive any DeU0nI lTOIH
the present Is per cent ad valorem duty
on hides. They claim that the farmer
who is supposed to be protected by the
present duty does not get any benefit
from the tariff because the packers fix
their own prices for the animals they
purchase from the farmers.
Beads, precious stones, trimmings
and ornaments for women's hats, but
tons, feathers and gowns, furs, fans of
all kinds, human hair, curled hair for
mattresses or beds, hats and bonnets,
jewelry, pearls. diamond and gloves
were among the articles considered to-
day.
There also will be many requests for
free entry of coal.
Educational and art institutions
throughout the country have urged the
committee to recommend favorably the
placing of works of art on the free list.
The tariff for revenue members of
the committee, will argue against such
action, and the arguments in favor of
such action will prove interesting in
view of Andrew Carnegie's recent re-
marks regarding the free admission of
articles used by the rich. Those ia
voring the free entry of works of art,
claim that it would be in the interest
of education to encourage the importa-
tion of art objects.

THEY ARE NOT AFRAID.
Standard Oil Men Do Not Expect
Criminal Prosecution.

New York, Nov. 28.-While there
has been considerable gossip recently
concerning the probability of John d.
Rockefeller and John D. Archbold
seeking immunity from any possible
future criminal prosecution on the
plea that their testimony given in the
governments dissolution suit entities
them to such, counsel for the COM
pany lay absolutely no stress on such
a move. They say that no Importance
what ever was attached to the i'm
munity question inasmuch as in their
opinion, the possibility of criminal ac-
ton against Mr.. Rockefeller and Mr..
Archbold was too remote to be taken
seriously.
The Standard, it is said, will occupy
almost every day in December in the
presentation of testimony. This would
seem to indicate that after Mr. Arch
bold concludes his testimony and VIM.

MADE FORTUNE IN BASEBALL.
Lajoie Has Drawn $4,000 for IL
Years in Big Leagues.

Cleveland, Nov. 2s.-Napoleon
Lajoie will, in all probability, have
made as much money out of base
ball as any other player in the busi-
ness by the time he is ready to quit.
In his twelve years of big league ball
playing he has netted about $4,000,
and since the Cleveland manager and
second baseman appears to be of a
careful nature he is probably well off
in this worlds goods.
His various contracts since the
time he made his debut as a big
Lacquer with the Philadelphia Ma
tionals in 1896 show that he has
gathered in that amount in salaries.
He drew $2,10O his first year. $4,000
the next, $4,000 in the succeeding sea-
son, $4,000 for 1899 and 1900, all the
while being with the same club. In
1901 he Joined the Philadelphia
Athletics, and during that year and
1902 he received $500 each season
for his services.
The Cleveland secured him under a
three year contract when the Amer
lean league was organized and since
then he has drawn a still larger sal
ary than he ever did before the base
ball war.

interest of the entire nation in one of
its most perplexing problems, the ma
tional conservation commission has
made an inventory of the natural re-
sources of the country. This inventory,
which embraces waters, minerals for
ests, lands will be presented by Gifford
Ptnchot, chairman of the commission
who in his report to the president,
January /, will make recommenda-
tions which both the work of the com
mission and the joint conference may
suggest as vital in solving the conser-
Vation problem.

Brimful of confidence and hardly able

for the fray. With admirals and gen

a brisk contest watching them the an

and midshipmen on Franklin field have
always been fought with such fierce

please the most blood thirsty of the

exception to the rule.
Because of the experience of the men,
the greater weight and good showing in
the comparative scores the navy is the

enough, only twice since these teams
have met on the football field has the

can portray the pleasures of walking, nor can it's advantages be secured at second hand. It must be ones own in- dividual employment. Walking is a game for any mood. The sad, the down-hearted, the exultant, the serene ly content all and these in any other mental condition, may find satisfaction in wandering out upon the earth. Walk ing softens sorrow, tempers trouble and adds a halo unto happiness. It gives health and vigor to body and mind. Many a headache has been chased away by walking and many q heartache lifted or frightened. The best thing for the inside of a man is the outside of the earth. Unlike other games, walking may be played in com pany or alone. It may be for one, two or more. It is at it's best, of course, when played by two who are really one Yet solitary journey is better far than a continual stay in the house at toll or in company at toll or in com pany gay. Better loaf and invite ones soul than work or play o'ermuch and leave ones spirit atrophied. Sunshine and fresh air are twin agents in the promotion of happiness and health and peace.
 Every man who walks should be lover. He should be not merely lover of his companion, but of the birds and buzZing bees, the bursting leaves and the blue ceiling of the sky beyond One may walk in winter days full of frost
