court of a small town in Saxony Will

as attendant to the presiding judge
for many years without ever having
received any reward aside from his
legal stipend. On the day of adjourn

AGREE ON THE
WOOL MEASURE.
Raw Material Gets a Flat Duty
of 29 per cent.
FREE LIST STILL IN DOUBT.
Compromise Also Makes ReadIustment
Of the Duties on Manufactures of
Wool TO Correspond With the
Duty on the Raw Material.

Washington.-For the first time in
the history of the Government a tariff
bill was disposed OF in an open con-
ference between the representatives
OF both houses. The public was ad-
mitted. and witnessed with acute curl
osity the chatting and informal dis
cussion Of Senators and Representa-
tives which heretofore has been con-
Quoted always behind closed doors,
with only a few special clerks in at
tendance.
The result was a definite agreement
on the Wool bill and what looks like
an agreement definitely TO disagree
on the Free List bill. Meanwhile the
Senate had voted down a motion to
take up the Cotton bill, and the ex-
pectation now is that adjournment
will be accomplished without a vote
upon the measure itself.
The basis in the Wool agreement is
20 per cent. on raw wool. The origi-
nal House bill was 20 per cent; the
original La Toilette bin 40 per cent:
and as passed by the Senate 80 per
cent The inclusion Of carpet woods
in the rate of the first class" at 29
per cent. instead Of the 10 per cent
of the La Toilette schedule brought
up his average somewhat and formed
a basis for later increases in the car
pet paragraphs. AS the carpets in
question were considered luXuries, the
Democrats gladly accepted the in
creases, and the final rates are, as a
result, in some cases much higher
than either the Senate or House bills.
The bill was amended to go into eff
feet Jan. l instead of oct. ], but IN
view of the Presidents certain veto
this Is not considered important

Family Enough.

Horace, five years old, has a broth
er nine, and a sister three, and with
his father and mother, he deemed
this family large enough. When,
therefore, he was told by his aunt
that little baby was to be added to-
the family, he protested:
II think papa and mamma might
better spend their money for more
strawberries and powdered sugar for

On a certain day a doctor came to
the house and Horace thought he
knew what that meant. His spirit OF
revolt nearly got the better of him.

A few hours later, after the doctors
had departed. his Aunt Ella told him
he had a new little brother. Horace

and motors are almost entirely absent
from Tower Hill. Petrol cannot be OBJ

wagon wheels is to be heard nothing
is audible but the vast murmur of the
voices of the strikers and the shout
ing Of the speakers 1t is SO in other
districts Of London The distribution
Of commodities is paralyzed.
The Great Northern, the Great West
ern. the Great Central and the Mid.
land railways have made no deliv-
cries
The strike fever has spread to the
drivers and motor Dusmen employed
by the big carrier companies, and
even women operatives in the south

army Of strikers. Thousands of tin
workers, sackmakers and lawmakers
have walked out.
