MUST PAY s24,000 TO GET BACK HOME
GRANT BROTHERS WILL DO THAT AT MORALES, AND SUE UNITED STATES TO TEST LAW.

DOUGLAS, Aug. 26.-tSpecial.)-
 Grant Bros, large contractors for the building of Southern Pacific lines, with some 500 or more head of Amer ican" stock at Nogales. on the bound. ary line. have gwen notice to the U. s. customs service that they will move their stock back to American soil through this port on Saturday of this week. The duty they will have to pay will be $24.O00 on the 500 animals. mostly mules undoubtedly. $30 per head. It is considered certain that they VII then bring suit against the United States for the recovery of the money in order to test the U. s. Treas ury Departments present interpreta- tion of the law.
 This action is due to a provision of the new tarin law involved in the iD- troductior Into the old law of the three words, mot including animals. by which they were excluded from the operation of the old provision for . return duty free of certain things os which a customs house registration was made on their exportation from the United States.
 The rectification of the tariff law relative to zinc-bearing ore, of much interest at Fl Paso, is of probably no importance here, as the ores imported here are not expected, on assay for zinc, to show as high as 10 per cent um. which is the lint of free admis' sion.
 Hides, particularly those Of cattle and sheep. formerly bearing 15 pei cent duty, are now admitted to this country free.
 The policy relative to exportatior and return of moving picture films has been changed in the same way as that on an .mals; they must pay duty ol 45 per cent on return to this country now.
 It will interest the householder or this side of the line and near it tt know that the duty on meat has beer reduced from % pound to i 1-2c 1 pound; mother words he can bring 1T one and a half pounds more now with out paying duty, since no charge les
 than 10c is made. The duty on cab bage has also been reduced from 3 t'
 2c per head
 The duty on lemons was advances from 1 to l l-2c, and that on liquor
 from $2.25 to s2.s0 per gallon.
 The provisions regarding cattl
 straying over the line, and in regar'
 to immigrants bring ng in necessar,
 household stock are the same as fol
 meriy.

Queer Habits Of Authors.

Both Dumas and Balzac showed no inclination to pass the w.ne-bottle. On the other hand. voltaire drank huge quantities of coffee when engaged in writing. As matter of fact. over-in- dulgence in that beverage during . protracted literary effort was the real cause of his death. Schiller also drank coffee ito thaw the frost out of his wits" but he fancied imbibing the infusion while seated with his feet Ia hot water. This. he believed, stimu. lated his imagination fin sluggish moods. and he refreshed it during work by copious draughts from . flask of Rhenish wine.
