The wool bill proposed revnue

duction of considerably more than
so per cent on woolen cloth and

tariff for revenue and was not
drawn for the purpose of protecting
the industries. IL passed the House
and went to the Senate, where an In.
surgent Republican Senator proposed
a substitute in which the duty on
wool of the first class was fixed at 40
per cent, and of second class, or
carpet wools, at 10 percent, and the
average percentage on the woolen
manufactures was made so percent

no eveidence was ever taken in re-
gard to 1t, and it was evolved from
the Independent investigation of a
single Senator. A majority of the
insurgents and the Democrats in thc
Senate compromised on bill which
made the tax on raw wool, first class,
35 percent; second class, 10 percent;
and the average duty on woolens, SIS
percent. The bill against the vote
of nearly all of the regular Repub-
licans and some insurgent Republi-
cans, passed the Senate and was sent
TO conference, where bill was
agreed upon in which the duty was
20 percent on raw wool, and an ave-
rage of 40 percent on woolens. This
bill had the effect of raising the duty
on carpet wools, as fixed in the Sem
ate, 8 percent, and as fixed In the
House, 8 percent Here was the

a Brave Regiment.

Few regiments, says the New York
Evening Post, have better record
for heroism than the oath infantry,
colored. During the war in Cuba the
colonel of this regiment was ordered
to detail sixty men, to replace as
many nurses who had contracted yell
low fever in the quarantine hospital.
The colonel, recognizing the pc
culiar work to be performed by his
men who would go to the yellow-fever
camps. ordered out his regiment in
line, and said to them:
Soldiers of the Oath, want so vol
unteers to help nurse your white COM
rades who are suffering with yellow
fever
He commanded, Volunteers. three
PAGES to the front! march,"
Every man Of that line stepped TO
the front.
But wait! Mark well the sequel to
such Christian heroism. 1t was only
short time before word came to
the colonel that half of his men who
had volunteered to nurse their white
comrades had been taken down with
yellow fever A number of them had
died of that terrible disease, and 30
more nurses were wanted to take
their places.
Again the colonel called out his
black soldiers in line. He told them
what had happened, and again he
commanded:
volunteers, three PAGES to the
front! March!"
And again every man of that line
stepped to the front.

ero Hats Worn to Cover Bald Spots.

6Iq Hats Worn to Cover Bald Spots.
According to a recent arrival from

hat down over their eyes and con.
slider 1t smart merely to have 1t sew

tect of the recent London fashion of
having the hats so much larger than
they used to be.
"The smart dressers in London, :"
observed this close student of mems
dress, "get hat two or three sizes
larger than they were in the habit of
wearing and put it as far back on the
head as possible. The object in that
is to conceal the bald spot that SO
many men have just at the back of
the head under the brim Of the hat.
It only needs a trifiing adjustment OF
the hat by bringing 1t down over the
back of the head to hide this. So
two-thirds of the men one sees in
London are going through the streets
with their hats far back on their
heads and covering the bald spots In
