HIS PLEASURE A LATE ONE.
Probably Mr.. Hogan Did Not Realize
Just What Might BE Made of His
Expression.

Casey was dead, and to do honor to
him the members of the Thirteenth
district Tammany organization at
tended the funeral in body, says the
New York Press. Slowly and sadly
they filed past the coffin and took
last look at their departed comrade.
AT the door each man paused to shake
hands with the sorrowing widow and
to murmur few words of coincidence.
When it came to Mr.. Hogan's turn, he
retained possession of her hand, while
he delivered lengthy Grafton con-
cerning the good qualities of the de-
funct Mr.. Casey.
Sure, it's plain you knew my hus-
band well, sir" said the fearful Mrs.
Casey.
"Only by sight, ma'am, only by
sight" Mr.. Hogan fastened to ex-
plain, 81 never had the pleasure of
meetin' him til today"

The duty on watches was read
justed, remaining at about the same
as the Dingley law.
A duty of one cent ger pound was
put upon the zinc in the ore where 1t
contains more than 80 per cent. of
zinc. On zinc with less than 20 per
cent. there is lower rate of duty.
Zinc now has a duty of 20 per cent.
There was an added duty of one
half of one cent per pound upon plain
bottle caps, and on decorated bottle
caps the duty was increased from 45
to 55 per cent.
The reductions in the metal sched-
ure are more numerous and generally
more marked than in most of the
others. Heading the list is iron ore,
which was decreased from 40 to is
cents per ton. Pig iron, iron kent
ledge, and Spiegeleisen, were lowered
fro,A 81 to $3.50 per ton.
Scrap iron and steel from four to
one dollar per ton.
Reductions were made on bar iron,
round iron, slabs and blooms, structu.
raj steel not fabricated, anchors, iron
and steel forgings, hoop, band, or
scroll iron or steel, steel bands or
strips.
Railway Bars and Steel Rails.
The reduction on cotton ties is from
five-tenths to three-tenths of one cent
per pound, and railway bars and steel
rails from seven-twentieths of one
cent per pound to seven-fortieths
Iron or steel sheets were also re-
duced, and the duty on charcoal iron

Washington.-The schedules of the
new tariff bill, with comparisons with
1 rates under the Dingley measure, are
ss follows:
Rough lumber goes down from 80
to $1.25 per thousand feet, with cor
responding reduction in the differen-
tial on dressed lumber.
The wool schedule underwent no
change of consequence, but the en-
tire cotton schedule was reconstructed
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1909-08-06

and the phraseology greatly changed
in the hope of preventing reductions
through decisions by the courts such
as have characterized the administra-
tion of the Dingley law during latter
years. In many instances the rates
intended to be imposed by the Ding
= ley law were cut by the decisions, the
reductions in some instances being
from 60 per cent. to eight per cent ad
valorem. 1t is estimated that the
rates fixed by the bill are about three
per cent. higher upon an average than
those collected on cotton last year.
Probably the most marked reduc-
tions throughout any schedule in the
bill as result of the action of the
two houses and of the conference COM
mittee are found in the metal sched-
ule. Beginning with decrease in the
rate of iron ore from 40 to Is cents
per ton, there is a general reduction
throughout that portion of the bill,
pig iron going down from S4 to $3.50
per ton, and scrap iron from 81 to 81.
The reduction on many of the items in
this schedule amounts to about 80 per
cent, and this reduction includes
steel rails. There is an increase ON
structural steel ready for use and also
q slight increase on razors, nippers
and pliers, and on such new metals
as tungsten.
Rates on Hosiery Increased.
The rates on hosiery are generally
Increased. In the much contested mat
of tbr 10 cI l.;
tectionists fail to score. They sought,
through an increase made by the
house, to raise the duty materially
above the Dingley figures, but were
antagonized by the senate, and the
senate won, the only change made in
the entire schedule being one slight
reduction.
The silk schedule was reconstructed
with view of imposing specific rath-
er than ad valorem dutiec, with the re-
suit that the average duty will be
somewhat higher under the new law
than under the present statute.
Oil cloths and lineoleum are heavi-
ly cut, but otherwise the changes in
the fax, hemp and jute provision
were not material. A slightly In
creased duty is provided for
hemp, both crude and hacked, and
also on certain high-grade laces. On
linen yarns and mattings there is q
Induction.
Sugar and tobacco duties remain
substantially as they are under the
Dingley law. The free importation OF
considerable quantities of both OF
these articles from the Philippine is
lands is permitted, and a material
change was made in the internal reve
nue. law by an amendment taking the
tax off the sale of tobacco in the hand
There is uniform increase on spir
its, wines and liquors of Is per cent.
Raise Rate on Hops.
In the agricultural schedule hops
are increased from IL to 16 cents 9
pound and there Is also an increase
on lemons, figs. almonds and pine
apples.

What the Bridegroom Thought Of the

While waiting for the train the bride
and bridegroom walked slowly up and
down the platform.

guying may have been to you" he re-
marked, ''but it's death to me. never
experienced such an ordeal"
cts perfectly dreadful" she an
swered. 81 shall be so glad when we

They're actually tmpertinent," he
went on. 'Why, the very natives
At this unpropitious moment the
wheezy old station master walked up
to them.
"Be you goin' to take this trainT' he
asked.
"It's none Of your business" retorted
the bridegroom Indignantly as he
guided the bride up the platform,
where they condoled with each other
over the impertinence Of some Of the
natives.
Onward came the train. its vapor
curling from afar. 1t was the last
to their destination that day-an ex-
press. Nearer and nearer it came at
full speed; then in moment it whiz-
zed past and was gone.
"Why in thunder didn't that train
stop?" yelled the bridegroom.
"Cos you sed 'twarn't none Of my

And as the old station master softly
stroked his board there was wicked
twinkle in his eye.-London Tit-Bits.

rha Real NanoIeon.

At a review Of the national guard at
the TuiIeries shortly before Waterloo
I had for some time most complete
opportunity of contemplating this ex-
traordinary being. His face Is OF
deadly pale, his jaws overhanging, but
not so much as had heard. His hair
is short, Of a dark, dusky brown. He
generally stood with his hands knit
behind him or folded before him and
three or four times took snuff out of a
plain brown box. Once he looked at
his watch. which, by the way, had a
gold face and, think, brown hair
chain. like an English one. His teeth
seemed regular, but not clean He
very seldom spoke, but when he did
smiled in some sort agreeably. He
looked about him-not knitting, but
Joining. his eyebrows. AS the front Of
each regiment passed he put up the
first finger of his left hand quickly to
his hat to salute. but did not move his
head or hat. He had an air Of sedate
impatience.-From "Recollections Of a
Long Life" by Lord Broughton.

wHITEwAsHING COAL.
Not Done For the Sake Of Neatness,
but to Prevent Thefts.

Not Done For the sake OF Neatneos'
but to Prevent Thefts.
Persons who have been somewhat
astonished by having whitewashed
coal delivered to them will be inter-
ested to know that the withdrawing
is not done to improve the appearance
or to increase the burning qualities
The treatment neither improves nor
harms the fuel.
It is a detective scheme on the part
of the railroads to locate and to pre-
vent theft of the coal as it Is hauled
from the mines to the consumer
These depredations amount to thou
sands Of tons annually, and the rail-
roads are the sufferers, as 1t Is up to
them to deliver as many tons at their
destination, often a thousand miles
away, as were weighed in when the
car was turned over for transportation.
Two or three tons may be removed
from a carload containing forty tons
without attracting attention to its de-
creased quantity until the car Is again
placed on the scales. To locate the
loss, says Popular Mechanics. limewa-
ter is sprayed over carload or coal.
In a short time the water has evapo-
rated, leaving a load of white coal
Then removal Of any coal leaves big
black spot, which is quickly noticed by
insI ctors and station agents and the
leak found and stopped.

He Was Acting.

Stephen Phillips, the dramatist and
poet, began life as a member OF E. Il.
Benson's repertoire company. An
amusing story is told of his debut. Mr.
Benson had told him that the great
thing for an actor is to act. 1T does
not matter" he continued, 80 much
what the words are which the actor
speaks as the impression which he con-
yeys to the audience by those words.
Then he gave Mr. Phillips the part OF
Balthazar In Romeo and Juliet" On
the first night Balthazar managed the
first line of his part and then forgot
the rest. Romeo, in the person OF Mr..
Benson, had to go to his assistance
and speak the rest of the part for him,
while Balthazar exhibited an agony OF
speechless grief. what do you mean
Mr.. Benson afterward demanded, by
going on the stage without knowing
your partY' 81 was only doing what
you told me. You said the great thing
on the stage was not so much the
words you speak as to act. Welb
was acting."-London Tit-Bits.

How . Moose Eats.

OF sill peculiar sights | think that
that Of a moose eating grass Is the
most extraordinary The neck Is so
short and the legs are so long that the
animal usually kneels in eating grass.
True, It does not attempt it very of
ten, for grass is by no means staple
with It, but even moose likes
change of diet The appearance OF
this huge and awkward creature in
this devotional attitude is not only in
teresting, but laughable.-St. Nicholas.
