DELAY IN rARIFF BILL.

n UST when the tariff bill, now before the Sem
ate at Washington will be disposed of IS
a matter Of speculation The blame for the de-
lay rests with the Senate. The House prompt
w got down to business when called together
and prepared bill that was satisfactory to the
country 1t was in answer to the widespread
demand for a prompt and fair revision of the
tariff TO meet present conditions
There may have been some objections TO a
few OF the schedules because no human beings
could frame such bill that would be satisfac-
tory to all, but the House measure came pretty
near filling the demands Then the bill was sent
to the Senate and we have witnessed a pro-
longed discussion, halting of business and
general mudde in which the end does not seem
TO be in sight Had the Senate taken the House
bill as reasonably satisfactory, the measure ere
this would have become a law and the matter
would have been settled
But, instead. there has been constant wrang-
ling. The tariff bill has been mixed up into a
discussion OF the income tax and tax on cor
porations together with other matters not per-
tinent. The business interests have to pay the
penalty for this delay 1t has meant heavy loss to
them. We should think that it has done much to
create sentiment in favor OF permanent tariff
commission which could consider the tariff
question along rational protective lines and
make the schedules In a broad-minded manner
so that no legitimate industry would be harmed.
but so that no trust would be able TO exploit the
people by taking undue advantage of the tariff.
The approach Of the Fourth of Iulv has caus-

INSURE AGAINST THE MOE.
London Merchants FEAR Outbreak Of
Unemployed.

London.--A genuine novelty in the
way of insurance has Just been intro
duced in London, called mob insur-
ance." 1t is taken out by merchants
against possible losses through rioting
or looting by mobs.
This does not mean that merchants
fear the suffragettes are about to burst
all bounds and inaugurate a reign of
terror. Protection is rather sought
against the violence Of the unem-
ployed. who are unusually numerous
in London this winter, and are likely
to become more so as the season adj
vances.
The most active demand for this
queer insurance is in the vicinity OF
the parliament buildings, which would
naturally be the objective point of a
mob melted to make a demonstration
against the authorities. Nothing may
occur to justify the fears of the mer-
chants who are seeking this form OF
protection. but it is highly significant
OF conditions in the worlds metropolis

PRISONERS soss JAILER.
Send Him to Town for Tobacco and
Escape In His Absence.

Bentonville, Ark.--When three in
mates OF the jail here broke out they
abused the klnd.heartedness OF Sher-
in Russell.
Go uptown and get us some to-
bacco," was the request sent to the
accommodating sheriff by his restless
wards.
Sure. was the sheriffs comment as
he reached for his hat.
And when he came back there was
big hole in the wire cage and there
was onls one man in the cell He ex-
planned that he had decided to wait
for the tobacco. AS reward OF merit
he got the entire supply, while the
sheriff mounted a horse and set out
after the runaway prisoners.
A recently discharged prisoner had
cut the bars nearly through from the
outside and the inmates had then
waited for an opportunity TO break out
the severed section OF the cage.

Barnstable, Mass.-Probably there
is no man who has more respect for a
whale, even II II did dine on ten OF his
wood decoys, than william f. Hallett,
who has camp on Sandy Neck He
relates the following story that put
gray hairs on his head and made -
minutes seem like four hours one
morning while coot shooting on the
back Of Cape Cod
Mr.. Hallett said he went out just be-
fore daylight In the morning and put
out about thirty decoys, all wood. He
thought he was about mile or a mile
and a half from the beach, in about
twenty feet OF water. The wind was
light with no sea- Just as the sun
came up he saw a black whale follow
ing the shore down from Plymouth
point, about the same distance from
the shore as he was. He thought
nothing about &C. as the birds had com
menced TO fly and the cunning was
good The next thing he knew the
whale came up and was blowing about
100 yards on. The great creature lay
few minutes on the water. looking
around, first at him and then at the
bunch OF woods. Mr. Hallett said It
was no doubt thinking whic' would
make the best starter for br Kfast.
Mr. Hallett said to his best judg-
ment the whale was about eighty feet
long and fifteen feet across the back,
and had a large hump on its head
about half way from the blow-hole to
the nose that was a light gray color.
During the time the whale was siz-
ing up Mr. Hallett and his outfit he
was clrcling around the boa. alowly.

move to haul in the anchor and try TO
row away, as he thought if the whale
saw him move it would be more likely
to take after him; so he sat low in
the bottom Of the skiff, with his hair
standing on end, expecting that every
minute would be the last, as the
whale seemed to take more notice Of
him than it did Of the decoys
After the whale had made three
turns around the outfit 1t backed Off
and made dash for the bunch of
woods with its mouth open The whale
sucked down ten Of the pine woods,
lines and all. After it apparently
tried to swallow one that had got
stuck in its throat, the whale seemed
to get angry and lay oR.the water and
thrashed its tail until the water was
like boiling vat.
Mr.. Hallet was Kept busy bailing,
as the spray from the tail and fiukes
flew all over him. About the time
that Hallet thought he would have to
give up, as his boat was low in the
water, and one or two more sweeps of
the mighty tail would send him to
the bottom. the whale turned around
until it headed off toward Province
town. Then 1t went as straight as a
string and as fast as steamboat out
of sight.
Mr.. Hallet said that he did not stop
to pick up any Of the woods that were
left-he just pulled in the anchor and
rowed for the beach. He said he had
read stories about shipwrecked sail
ors being happy to reach land, but
none could compare with the way he
felt when he jumped out on the beach
and looked off to the north and saw

Bellingham, Wash.--It develops
that the will OF Miller G. Scouten, who
killed himself by sending bullet into

OF his aged and crippled mother, pro
vides for the establishment Of a home
for aged women after the death Of
Mrs. Scouten. who is beaueathed the
property until her death. Not only
Is the will. made three years ago, in
teresting because OF its provisions,
but It is the more so on account OF
the causes that led up to its making.
One OF the requirements for admis-
sion to the proposed home is that the
woman must deposit iher funeral ex-
penses. with the board OF trustees be-
fore entering. and there is the further
provision that the body of each in
mate must be cremated upon her
death.
When Miller Scouten was a child
his father lost his life while serving
his country as a soldier. Since then
the boy had been all I'm all to the
aged mother. During the last few
years Scouten had been almost con
stantly with his parent. finding II i'm
possible many of the days to leave
her side long enough to walk to the
post Office for his mail.
For years the woman has been an
invalid. and her temperament was
such that she would have no one
about her but her son. He did the
work about the house, attended to her
wants in a thousand ways and was
out Of her sight hardly a minute dur
ing the day or night This state of
affairs had existed for some time, and
OF late there had been considerable
comment on the fact that Scouten

time and pleasant associates, but
when his mother became unable to
care for herself and refused to permit
any person other than her son to care
for her Scouten gave up everything
else to be with her. Although she had
been care for years, II was only
within the last few months that her
condition became such that he was
unable to leave her for more than a
few minutes at a time
This condition of affairs caused him
to prepare the will that will be filed
for probate. The two executors are
instructed to secure a site for a place
to be known as The Marion Scouten

fit Of women over the age OF SO
years This figure was decided upon.
Il Is believed. because II represents
the age OF the mother for whom he
was giving up everything at that time.

Pastor and Leaders Take Action

Pittsburg. While they believe II is
proper that marriages should be sol
emnized in church. the pastor and
leaders In the Free Methodist church

have taken a stand against courtship
inside the church doors. especially
during religious services.
Recently the pastor has been annoy
ed by the actions OF love-sick young
people, who have been carrying on
eourtships during the services. Open
osculatory expressions of affection
have been witnessed in the church,
and the climax came the other night
The pastor had before warned the
young people that better order must
prevail That night Aaron Gadd. a
leader in the church, arose and ex-
pressed the idea that, while marriages
are perfectly proper, church courtship
is not, and insisted that the later
cease.
Mr. Gadd announced that he had
secured the names of several offenders
and that. If the love making did not
cease, steps would be taken to see that
