persons who wear spectacles out of
doors will be troubled with the
lenses steaming upon entering a
heated room. This can be pre-.
vented by rubbing the glasses
thoroughly on both sides with
little vasaline or cold cream, then
rub with tissue paper or cloth to
clear the glasses. Glasses treated
This way will not cloud or steam in
the coolest weather for "a hours.

WASHINGTON LETTER.


The fact that Senator Aldrich, chair
man of the finance committee and who
will have charge of the tariff bill in the
Senate. has booked passage for Europe
for the middle of June next is considered
most significant and as indicative that all
unnecessary delay in the enactment Of a
new tariff law is to be avoided by the Re.
publican leaders. Senator Scott of West
Virginia has proposed plan which may
be adopted aud which will. in his esti-
nation, dispose Of the tariff in the most
expeditions manner A resolution was
offered in the Senate as soon as it con-
vened on Monday, making declaration
on the tariff question as a basis for any
number of speeches and thus bringing
the measure up for discussion in the SEN
ate at the same time that it is under con-
sideration in the House.

One of the first acts of Secretary Dickiu-
sou. the new Secretary of War, will be
the selection of the military court of in.
quiry. provided for by the Foraker act
for the investigation of the cases of the
enlisted men, negroes. of Companies B.
c, and d Of the 25th infantry, discharged
without honor by President Roosevelt on
account of the disturbance at Brownsville.
Texas. in August. 1906 President Taft
has already called for and received from
the War Department list of retired army
officers above the rank of lieutenant
colonel deemed eligible for service on the
court, and there is every indication that
il will be organized without much DELAY.
AS President Taft desires that each case
shall be decided on its merits, he will
select for membership on the court officers
who are free from suspicion of bias in
th9ir Judgment of the negro soldier. The
court must complete its work, under the
law, within one year from the date of
appointment. and as there are about $50
men affected. it has plenty of work ahead
of it.

The members of the ways and means
committee are having hard time Of it
in their efforts to frame up a bill that will
meet all requirements. They arein re.
ceipt OF large numbers of protests against
the tax on sugar. very lively agitation
has been started to increase the proposed
duty on lumber from 81, to 81 so; and
they are obliged to choose between an in-
crease of the tax on beer or Of placing a
duty on coffee. Members of both houses
of Congress are urging the reimposition
of some of the Spanish. American war
taxes, such as the 2 cent stamp on checks,
kilograms, ETC., as the only means by
which the additional revenue can be
raised necessary to make the annual in
come of the government approximate the
annual expenditure. This question has
received some serious attention on the
Senate side, and while there is no purpose
to reensct all of the stamp taxes, the
claim is made that some of them could be
imposed again without burdening the
ordinary consumer and without injuring
those lines of business engaged in by the
great mass of the people. The revenue
on stamps alone during the three full
years during which the war taxes were
in operation. averaged about $4r.ooo. 900
annually. and that on legacies in 1901
aggregated IS. aII.Soo.

marines are given sea duty Already
steps have been taken looking to the
distribution of the marines among the
