Coffee Is Not Free.

Coffee lis placed the free list with the pfoviso that if the country from which etterts exported imposes a duty, like amount is to be collected as an import duty here. The defenders of the bill say that this was done to compel the coffee producing countries to remove any export duty they may have imposed and to pre- vent them from imposing such duties in the future. But it is stated here today that every coffee producing country has an export tax already reaching as high as 20 per cent in the San Carlos district of Brazil. And 1t is further pointed out that Brazil cannot abrogate this duty for the reason that this tax is named in the bonds Brazil has huated from time to time as guarantee of their payment So that instead of having coffee coming in free as the Payne bill ostensiby decrees, it is agreed the countervailing clause would operate and a tax would be col lected in some cases as high as 20 per cent on all coffee brought in under the Payne bill

 One end of the town is in Florida and the other in Alabama. That is the way it got it's name. The letters spell ing Florala are taken from the words Florida and Alabama.

Bug Under the Chip.

Connected with this there is a strong suspicion here that immense favoritism has been shown to somebody. Millions of bags of Brazilian coffee are being held in this country, it is alleged for some such chance as is here afforded. It is declared that the mportations of coffee in the last ten years have far exceeded the consumption until there is in storage millions of pounds which came in duty free. It is estimated that there are four million bags in New Y ork alone. In ad- dition to this there are millions of bags in Europe owned by the same syndicate. 1t is said, all of which could be brought into this country duty free under the Payne bill because the country from which 1t is imported would not have an export duty thereon. But every pound sold to the American consumer would have tagged to it the regular price and this would mean a clean gift of millions of dollars from the United States gov ernment to the coffee trust at the ex- pense of the American citizen.
 Hide Tariff Suspicious.
 The leather people also declare that the proposed tariff measure is likely to work them great injury. The bill puts hides on the free list and that is reason for Joy among the manufacturers of leather. But the maximum duty on hides in the proposed bill is 20 per cent as against 15 psf cent under the present tariff. The Argentine Republic is practically the only {cOuntrv from which we can import raw material. Suppose that Argentina should enter into an agreement with some other country and discriminate against the United States in one or more particulars o1 trade. The maximum tariff would go into effect automatically and the New

That the Cleveland Americans want Pitcher Miller the hefty southpaw of the Mobile club, and also Outielder Wheat, was verified last night by an official of the Mobile Baseball associa- ton, who said that while fattering of fers had been made for both men, there was hardly a chance of the Maps getting either of them, as Mobile needs them in the race for the pennant this season.
 It was reported that the Cleveland club had offered $500 for Pitcher Mil Ter, and the pick of any two outfield- CTS, with the exception of the regular men, for Wheat. One of. the local of ficials said that the reports were true, but that nothing official had been done about it.
 It was reported last night, though not verified, that Mobile had a deal on for Catcher Blue of the Philadelphia Athletics. Should Blue be added to the Mobile club he would prove a valuable addition, as Shea the catcher who has not yet reported, will probably not come to Mobile, owing to the club owners of the Northwest league en- deavoring to hold him there. Blue is a good hitter.-Mobile Register

noticed small red spots on her right
cheek. They, grew so large that I sent for
the doctor but, instead of helping the erup-
ton, his ointment seemed to make it worse.
Then | went to a second doctor who said
It was eczema. He also gave me an oint-
ment which did not help either. The dis
ease spread all over the face and the eyes
began to swell. The itching grew intoler-
able and it was a terrible sight to see. I
consulted doctors for months, but they
were unable to cure the baby. Lpaid out
from $40 to $50 without relief. One evening
I began to use the Cuticura Remedies. The
next morning the baby's face was all white
