PER YEAR.

AFTER CONSIDERATION BY THE
HOUSE, BILL GOES TO
PRESIDENT.

Washington.-A Republican sugar
tariff bill, the first purely Republican
revision measure of the present Con-
gress. has been adopted in the Senate
DESERVING their allies of the last few
days, the Republican Progressives. by
an iron clad agreement with the regu-
lars. succeeded in passing tariff re-
duction bill which they believe Presi-
dent Taft will sign.
1t is estimated that the sugar tariff
reduction, il it becomes effective, Will
reduce the governments custom re-
ceipts about $5,500.000, while its saw
ing in the retail sugar bill of the nation
is estimated at $20.000.000 per year.
The sugar bill was compromise be-
tween the Lodge plan endorsed by the
regular Republicans. and the Bristow
bill, behind which the Progressives
lined up. 1t would cut the present
sugar duty of $3.50 to $1.60; would
abolish the Dutch standard, under
which practically no refined sugar can
be imported. and would abolish the IA
I.
additional duty on profit of the refin-
eTs.
The regular Republicans came down
from the $1.S21a duty of the Lodge
bill, while the Progressives moved up
ward from the $1.521k rate in the
original Bristow bill The compro-
mise is only III cents above the low
est figures named by the Progress
ives.
The Democratic free sugar bill
passed by the House did not come to a
vote in the Senate.
The Bristow-Lodge amendment was
first adopted in committee OF the
whole by vote of 81 to 25. Senators
Thornton and Foster of Louisiana,
Democrats, voting with the Republi-
cans.
The Senate Democrats then offered
their substitute for the House bill. pro
posing n one-third reduction in the ex'
listing sugar tariff. This was defeated
SO to "a, the Republican regulars and
progressives holding to their agree
ment. The Bristow-Lo odge amendment
finally passed the Senate with all but
two Democrats voting for it. The final
vote was 80 to 3, the negative votes
being cast by Senators Hepburn, Re
publican, and Foster and Thornton
Democrats.
The attitude OF the Senate Demo
Gratis in finally supporting the Repup
lican bill is expected to have influence
with the Democrats OF the House
when the amended bill goes back
there.
An attempt to attach the Canadian
reciprocity repeal amendment to the
bill. made by Senator McCumber. was
defeated, 81 to "a. This vote showed
the purpose of the Republicans to pre-
vent any change in the sugar bill tina:
might mean its defeat when it goes
back to the House.
The Senate bill would reduce the
duty on Cuban sugar. which comes In
under the reciprocity treaty at $1.3i
to about $1.20 per hundred pounds
The maximum reduction Of duty on all
refined sugar is threetenths of cent
pound. The abolition OF the Dutch
standard, it is understood, will make
possible more foreign competition in
cheap sugars, which have been shut
out because they did not meet the
color test.

While not perfumes exactly, toilet
waters are always scented, and their
use Is very beneficial to the skin, par
ticularly in the summer. when 1t needs
all the refreshment 1t can get. The
scented waters are diluted with plain
water for use. for some of the vim
egars are 30 strongly perfumed as to
seem disagreeable when used full
strength.
From 20 drops to a teaspoonful OF
the toilet water is put In a basin bath.
the water 30 treated being intended
for the rinsing after cleaning
sponge or tub bath The liquid is left
to dry on the skin, as one of the chief
purposes of the toilet water is its ton
ic effect. After a weary day, a rub
down with good toilet water. proper
ly diluted, makes one feel like a new
being, and while 1t is very convenient
to get the vinegars ready made they
can be turned out at home very easily
and sometimes much more cheaply.
OF all the fragrant toilet waters
none Is 80 much used as rose water.
and when this is pure 1t possesses the
greatest cosmetic virtues. One for
mula for this delicious toilet water
calls for four pounds Of rose petals
and ten quarts of water The water
upon the petals, which are shaken
around in the liquid. Then the vessel
is loosely covered and put in a cool,
dark place for several weeks, until
the liquid becomes odorous. Then it
is again distilled. and the drippings
are gathered in small bottles and
closely corked.
Another formula calls for putting
the rose petals in an earthern jar
and covering them with a weak brine
Of common salt. The roses may be
gathered every day. and the petals
added as they come handy.
An improved still can be made by
fastening an india rubber tube to the
spout of q tea kettle and passing it
through cold water to condense the
steam. The distillate,. or drippings
should be received in a glass or earth
en- receptacle; for II toilet waters

Richard J. Rooney of Westerly has presented the Stonington Historical society, through Henry Robinson Palmer, the Bible of the steamer Nar- ragansett that was in collision with her sister ship, the Stonington, of the old Stonington line, off Cornfield Point, Juno Il, 1880. Six months after the collision the Narragansett was raised, taken to the Palmer shipyard in Ston- ington and converted into a barge. While the mud and sand were being shoveled from the wreck, Mir Rooney was among the many spectators. lie saw a book shoveled out with lot or sand and took the book as a souvenir. Upon washing off the mud he found he had the steamers Bible, and for the past g years he has prized It as one of his most valued treasures.
 Abram Coon of Westerly, father or Charles F. Coon, superintendent of Wilcox park. was bow watchman on the Narragansett at the time of the collision. He launched two life boats for passengers, and did not leave the vessel until driven off by the fire which started soon after the Narra- gansett was struck, the vessel burning almost to the waters edge, before sinking. MT. Coon jumped overheard, taking a chair with him for support, swimming off a safe distance from the burning and sinking steamer. There was a dense fog at the time and he kept shouting for help from the steam CTS that were engaged in the rescue work. After being nearly an hour in the water, he was picked up by the crew of a life boat from the steamer City of New York. William Howard Robinson and Henry Douglass, also of Westerly, were among those rescued by the same boats crew.
 At the time the remains of the Mar ragansstt were being converted into a barge, Charles Coon secured the bunk boards of his fathers state room, Nos. 64 and 65, and they have place in the Coon residence, Sailors Snug Har- bOr in Beech stree.
