The Noise Aneut the Tariff.
President Elect Taft urges the C

President Elect Taft urges the con-
sumers to make themselves heard on
tariff revision. Hosts Of them sup
posed that they were doing that by de-
livering their minds as to the Chicago
platform and candidate in November.
They made less noise in that way than
they would be likely to should all get
together before the ways and means
committee. A member Of the commit
tee has said that he expects "some-
body to make the fur fly" when the re-
vision fight is on. There are, consum-
ers who would like to let fly chain
shot. solid shot, lyddite shells, or what
ever Is best at smashing armored
things, before the new schedule is fixed
up for good.
And there's the rub-agreeing upon a
tariff schedule that will drown the
several volumes of different kinds Of
noise. General Hancock was laughed
at for saying in the campaign Of 1880,
"The tariff is a local ISSUE" He had
been swinging around the circle as a
soldier candidate on revision plat
form. Every fresh swing brought him
face to face with a new brand Of
noise, one community shouting to have
this on the free list and that taxed to
the limit, while neighborlng section
shouted for exactly the reverse. If the
body Of consumers today could drop
in at a tariff committee hearing for
just one session they would feel like
asking Mr.. Taft to put the tariff up to
real experts. II he knows any then go

Found Coin of 1s4s in Garden.

That Josephine county is the most
resourceful as we'll as the most pro-
lific when 1t comes to productiveness
of the soil, of any in the world, is
no longer a mooted question, says
the Grants Pass Courier. When a
farmer can raise a big crop Of pota-
toes and a crop of gold and silver
coins on the same piece of ground at
one and the same time this should be
sufficient to convince even the most
skeptical This feat has been per-
formed by L. E. Sharp, who resides
near the mouth of Jones creek.
Mr.. Sharp's farm is what was for
merly the old Curry place, and last
season while digging his potatoes he
picked up with the spuds a $40 gold
piece of the date of 1S4S. The coin
is not worn perceptibly which would
indicate that it was lost before it had
been in use very long. At another
time and in very nearly the same
place he plowed up a Spanish shilling,
dated 1898. This silver piece shows
evidence Of long usage.
How these coins came to be where
they were found or how long there,
is a mystery.

Fire, which resulted in a $1,000
loss to the owners, broke out in the
Barn on the Baker & Druse ranch on
Summit View road Friday afternoon
says the Yakima Republic. Two
horses, a quantity of hay, the build
ing itself and a dozen fruit trees were
destroyed before willing neighbors
could form a bucket brigade and pre-
vent flames spreading to nearby out
buildings and the house.
The cause of the fire is a mystery.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Riggle have
been living on the ranch al lspring.
They were moving their furniture and
other household effects to town when
the blaze was discovered. 1t is be-
lieved drayman who assisted in the
moving dropped a lighted match in
to a dry manure pile.
So quickly did the flames spread
that it was impossible odo much
fire fighting. The horses which
were burned were valuable. They
both dropped in their stalls. A strong
wind was blowing at the time.

MARTYR TO HIS VANITY.
French Scientist Describes Strange
Case of Morbid Mentality.

A curious sort of vanity was de-
scrbed at the meeting of the French
Academy Of Medicine when Profess
sor Deulafoi detailed the case Of a
man who for over two years had
been afflicted with ulcerous sores,
which broke out on both arms.
The patient consulted over dozen
physicians and tried many varieties
of treatment, without relief. Finally
he submitted to the amputation OF
his left arm above the elbow. Some
Improvement followed, but later the
sores made their appearance with
greater frequency than ever. He was
then admitted to the Hotel Dieu and
placed under Professor Deulafors
care.
After keeping the patient under
close observation for some time, the
professor declared the patient to be
slmulator. The man admitted that
he had been in the habit Of produc-
ing sores with caustic potash, and

Glen TALKS ON
DRY PLATFORM


RICHMOND, ~a., Feb. 4.-Gov-
ernor R. B. Glenn of North Carolina
will deliver the principal address of
the three days convention of the
Virginia Anti-Saloon league opening
in this city today.
Governor Glenn who came into
national prominence last year by
reason of his battle with the rail-
roads and his stand for state rights,
is pronounced prohibitionist and
has long been identified with the
temperance movement in the south
This IS the seventh annual conven-
ton of the league.
The officials report that the dry
sentiment is rapidly gaining ground
in the Old Dominion and that Vir-
ginia will be wholly arid within a
few years. A large proportion OF
the counties of the state are now
dry" under the operation of the
local option law.

CHARITY BALL
GETS The MONEY
NEW YORK LoosENs IT'S PURSE
STRINGS AND MAKES BRILL
ANT AFFAIR OF THE ANNUAL
CHARITY BALL.

al charity. ball in aid of the Nurse
ry and Child's Hospital takes place
at the Waldorf-Astoria tonight.
1t is probably the most noted of
the annual functions of it's kind in
New York's society, and the event
tonight promises to be as brilliant
and successful as any of its prede-
cessors. Major General Frederick D.
Grant and Mrs. Grant, with his staff
in full dress, will take part in the
opening march, and a great throng
of other notables will be present.
For fifty years the charity ball
has been one of New York's features
of the social season, this being in
deed, the only public affair of the
kind in which society takes a part.
Not to be interested in the event
would be to argue indifference to
the social laws of the forefathers,
and old New workers as a rule
are very loyal to family traditions
and customs. Besides which, the
charity is one which appeals to ev-
eryone. The Nursery and Child's
Hospital for half century has been
caring for the unfortunate little
ones Of the city and has depended
largely upon the proceeds from the
charity ball for funds with which
to carry on the work.
