Parallel to the thoughts on immor-

ernoon that the words came to the

An UntimeIy Royal Letter and tbs
Message 1t Conveyed. ii
One night at o'clock the bishop of
Orleans was reused by a royal cou-
rier who had in hot haste brought
dispatch from bis majesty Louis XIV.
The bishop imagined that something
terrible had happened. Tremblingly he
opened the package and read:
'NIonsieur the Bishop OF Orleans-My
daughters wish for some preserved Or
leans ounces. Pray send some. Ii

In this part of the letter there was
drawing of a sedan chair, and under
meath the chair the kings letter con-
tinued thus:
"Send Immediately into your episco-
pal town and get them, and, monsieur
the bishop. may God have you in his

1t is a great deal more necessary
to keep clean ON the inside than on
the outside. Cascarets are more i'm
portant than soap. The pores of
the skin may become clogged with
dirt, but they don't absorb the i'm
purities. The pores of the bowels
do.
There are myriads of pores in the
bowels, the duty of which is to
absorb the nutriment from food.
That's how we get our nourishment.
But if the bowels are sluggish the
food is delayed. 1t decays and
forms gases and poisons. Then
those pores of the bowels suck poi
son into the blood. That's how we
get our ills.
We urge the habit of cleanliness.
Don't wait till you need a physic
That leaves too much of the time
when you are only half we'll. Keep

REVEAL GREAT !:
CUTLERY FRAUDS
Secret Service Men Have Un-
earthed Plot.

Washington, June 20.-Frauds said
to amount to several millions of dol
lars in duties on importations OF cut
lery during the last few years have
been discovered by secret agents OF
the customs service who, under the d.
rection OF Chief Willlie, have been
working quietly in this country and in
the Solingen district of Germany,
whence most of the imports come to
the United States.
Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh
began the investigation several months
ago. 1t is not sufficiently completed
to say what action may be taken to re-
cover the duties of which it is alleged
the government has been defrauded.
Neither is it known if there will be
criminal prosecutions.
Customs authorities say the peculiar
construction of the cutlery schedule
OF the tariff had given opportunity for
immense frauds on comparatively
small undervaluations.
A seizure of cutlery made in New
York on Saturday illustrates that fact.
On forty-three cases of cutlery, entered
as having a valuation of $10,243, an
differentiation of only 1858 was found,
but nthat one sizure the government
had been defrauded of $3397 in duties.
The duty on cutlery is very high.

Mud on Spar Deck.
Havana, June 20.-The first parts of
a human body from the wreck of the

They were taken in charge by an

this may be established by discovery

been lowered thirteen feet below nor

that it will be possible to float the

WOOL BILL
e. PASSES HOUSE
Revision Measure Put Through
by Vote Of III to 100.
II REPUBLICANS FOR IT
President Sent Message Saying Tariff
Board Had Not Completed Report
and He Could Not Send Data on
Wool

Board Had Not Completed Report
and He Could Not Send Data on
Wool.
Washington, June 21.-By vote OF
221 to 100 the house of Representatives
passed the Democratic wool revision
bill. The announcement OF the result
was greeted with great applause by
the Democrats, who gave Representa-
live Underwood, of Alabama, the ma
.ority leader, an ovation as he stood
in his place to make the final motion
following the formal passage OF the
bill.
Democratic JOY was quickly changed
to chagrin as Speaker Clark, taking a
document from the table, announced
that a message had been received
from the president Of the Unitei
States. In the message the president
said that the tariff board had not
completed its report on the wool
schedule, and that for this reason he
found it impracticable to comply with
house calling for the data on wool col
lected by tie board.
The presidents cpportune announce
ment that the complete wool report OF
the board would be forwarded to con
gress in December this year provoked
applause among the Republicans, who
ieered at the Democrats, the house as
q whole having in mind assertions re-
peatedly made by Republicans in de
bate that it was unwise to attempt a
revision of schedule K in advance OF
q scientific statement as to conditions
by the tariff board.
Unconsciously the president had
played joke on the Democrats.
Twenty-seven Republicans jumped
the reservation and voted for the
Democratic bill. Most Of them were
insurgents, some of them near-insur-
gents, while two representatives, An
thony and Campbell, OF Kansas, have
hitherto been classed as regulars
Representative Berger, of Milwau-
kee, Socialist, stood by the bill, as did
Representative AIKEN, of New York,
who is not classified politically. Rep
resentative Francis, of Ohio, who
comes from big wool district, was
the only Democrat to desert his party.
The last stand of the Republicans
against the bill was made on a motion
of Representative Payne, OF New
York, that the measure be sent back
to the committee on ways and means,
with instructions to that committee to
hold it until report on the wool
schedule was made by the administra-
ton board. This was defeated by a
strict party vote.
The wool bill goes to the senate
with the prestige of having passed the
house by big majority.
