The Tariff Bill.

sentatives, today introduced in the
house the tariff bill that has been
framed by the committee, and that
will be the basis for the revision Of
the tariff for which the special ses-
sion Of congress was called 10y Pres.
ident Taft.
Payne, upon the introduction Of
the bill, briefly reviewed its provis-
ions, laying stress upon the fact
that 1t is maximum and minimum
tariff measure.
Payne estimated that the revenue
under the tariff duties prescribed in
the bill will amount To three hun
dred million dollars, which is about
the amount of customs revenue Gel.
lected in 1906 and 1907, but consid
crably in excess of the revenues the
past year, when there was a marked
falling off in receipts.
He predicted that the deficit now
existing in the national revenues
would be entirely wiped out in the
next fiscal year il normal business
conditions return.
THE CHANGES.
The most important changes in
the proposed measure from the
Diugley law now in effect are:
The tariff on Lumber is reduced
one. half.
Hides, which, under the Dinglev
law, pay fifteen per cent ad va!or-
um duty, are placed on the free list.
The schedules on shoes and leath.
er goods are materially lowered.
The schedule on steel is reduced
fifty per cent.
Tea is taxed eight cents a pound.
1t is under the Dingley law on the
free list.
Tallow, cottoDseed oil and works
of art are placed on the free list.
The pottery schedule remains
about the same, but the duty on the
larger sizes is reduced.
The duty on refined sugar is re-
duced.
The principal increases are made
III the duties OH lemons, cocoa and
and substitutes for coffee.
Coal tar dyes, gloves, coated pa
per, photographic prints and the in.
ternal revenue taxes on beer and
whisky are not disturbed.
The duty on the cheaper grades
of " ool are lowered, and those on
woolen goods slightly reduced.
Mechanically ground wood pulp
can be entered free of duty from
any country not imposing an ex-
port duty.
The duty on printing paper is re-
duced.
Bituminous coal and coke from
any country admitting American
coal free OF duty, are placed on the
free list.
Other articles are transferred
from the free list to the dutiable
list, and the duties on yet others are
considerably increased. Most ar
ticles on which the duties are in
creased are classed as luxuries.
NO TAX ON COFFEE.
No tax is placed on coffee, de-
spite the rumors that such action
would be taken.
The bill provides for reciprocal
free trade with the Philippines on
all articles, but limits the amount
of sugar to be imported free of du-
ty.
Another section of the bill pro-
vides for a tax on the transfers of
property, both real and personal,
by inheritance or succession, and
by will. This latter tax is expect.
ed to provide a considerable addi.
tion to the revenues.

From Charleston comes the re.
port that it is believed that the de-

will have a bearing upon similar
cases pending in this state. The
Coal & Coke railroad, among whose
heavy stockhol 'ers are Senator FL
kiDs and former Senator Henry G..
Davis, has applied for a writ of
mandamus to prevent the attorney
general and the prosecuting attorney
of Kanawha county from enforcing
the two-cent fare rate law against
that road, claiming it confiscatory
Geo. Il. Price, general counsel for
the Coal d Coke road, said that he
believed the Mcpherson decision
would have an effect on all roads
which are not getting fair return
upon their investment, but would
not effect roads earning fair returns.

Obituary.
ARTHUR.

John Arthur was born in lockwood,
Devonshire, England, March 16, 1927.
In the spring of 1849 he came to this
country, intending to live with an uncle,
Mathew Cawker, in Milwaukee, but
while he was crossing the ocean his
uncle died, so he came on to the village
of Catfish to reside with another uncle,
f.. Harrison Cawker, and made his home
In this vicinity ever since. For time
he ran the mill at Fulton and later was
a member of the firm of Ash, Dave &
Co., grain merchants here. In 1850 he
was united in marriage to Miss Mary
Brelsford and to this union six sons
were born, E. E. Arthur, now of Mil
waukee; James 0. Arthur, this city;
J. H. Arthur, Youngstown, Ohio; E.
A. Arthur, South Milwaukee; G. j.
Arthur, Sparta, and H. G. Arthur of
Madison. For many years Mr.. Arthur
and wife made this city their home, but
owing to their advanced age Mrs. Ar
thur went to Madison few years ago
and has since resided with her son, H.
G.. Arthur. About four weeks ago Mr..
Arthur was taken sick and was re-
moved to the home of his son, j. o.,
where he was tenderly cared for up to
the time of his death, Tuesday morn
ing, April 13, 1909.
Funeral services, conducted by Rev.
MacInnis, were held from the home of
J. o. Arthur Thursday afternoon at 1
o'clock and from the Methodist church
at 100, and interment was made in
Fassett cemetery. The pail bearers
were five sons, E. E. Arthur, j o. Ar
thur, E. A. Arthur, C. j. Arthur, H.
G. Arthur, and nephew, James Ar
thur The family have the sympathy
of all in this their hour of bereavement.

Golf In Hioh Attitudes.

It is strange how many golfers there
are who fail to appreciate the great
effect the density of atmosphere has
on the fight of a golf ball. On still,
misty day the ball flies about five
yards to ten yards less than it does
on a frosty day, when the air is keener
and more rarefed, and it is always
stated-whether truly or not is I'M
known-that in an east wind the ball
flies farther than it does when the
wind blows from the opposite and
more acceptable quarter The writer
was fortunate, or unfortunate, enough
to play many rounds few years ago
on the johannesburg links in South
Africa. These links are situated some
5000 feet above sea level, and the air
is wonderfully rarefied. The ball CON
sequently flew the most surprising dis
lance AS proof of this the winner OF
a driving competition sent ball q
carry of 22S yards, the second player
returning the modest distance of 223
yards. Yet neither of these two play
ers could approach the driving capa-
bilities of good amateur golfers

A Good Entertainment.

The noted impersonator, James F.
O'Donnell, will give an entertainment
at Royal hall, Friday evening, April %,

of st. Joseph's church. The proceeds
will be used in the purchases of new

Wednesday, April Fl. Of Mr.. O'Don-
nell the Nashville American says:
"At the Nashville Tabernacle Audi
torium last night several thousand peo-
pie listened to James Francis O'Don-
nell in The Sign of the Cross and
from the first note of his voice the vast
crowd was attentive. He paints the
scene of Marcus looking upon Mercia
for the first time with marvellous effect;
and when, as Marcus, he pleads before
the throne of Nero for the life of the
Christian maiden he touches hearts.
The climax comes in the final scene
with the girl he loves, when he gives
up his place as Caesars lieutenant and
goes forth with her to die. "

He Was a Poor Guesser.

He was a new conductor and anx-
ious to expedite matters. When he
saw woman holding two dollar bill
in her hand he dispensed with the
customary exhortation to pay her fare
and began to count out change There
had been a drain on his pockets
throughout the trip, and he was
obliged to interview half the passen-
gers in the car before he finally Sc
cured the desired small coin Finally
the transaction was completed, and the
conductor returned to the woman.
"Fare?' he said.
The woman fshed a nickel from her
pocketbook. Then she looked at the
two dollar bill.
"Dear mer' she said How careless
| ami / forgot / had that money in
my hand. Somebody might have
stolen it,
"Chumpw growled the conductor.
The woman thought he meant her,
but he didn't. He was cursing his
own stupidity.-NewY York Globe.

Animals and Electricity.

Man has much greater power of
electrical resistance or much less sus-
ceptibility than many other animals.
A leech placed upon a copper plate
which rests upon larger plate of
zinc is unable to crawl off on account
of the feeble electric action excited
by the contact of the metals. Horses
are troubled by slight differences of
potential. An OK treated for rheuma-
tism with electricity succumbed to a
current absolutely inoffensive to man.
