DOCK FIRE IN MOBILE:
Marine Ways of Gulf Dock
Burn-Steamship Is
Damaged

Mobile, December 3.-(Speeial.)-Ten
thousand persons on the wharf at the
foot of Elmira street at dark tonight
saw fire that partially destroyed the
marine ways of the Gulf Dry Docks
company and lighted the entire city.
The loss is estimated at $4,000.
The Norwegian Steamship Fort Gaines,
under charter of the United Fruit
company, which occupied a dry dock
on the north side of the plant, sus-
tained loss estimated at $4,000. The
bay steamer Pleasure Bay and the
tow boat Nimrod were lying at the
docks when the fire was discovered
and it was only because the tugs Lin
net and Startling were quick to the re-
cue that these vessels were not lost.
Delay in reaching the fire depart
ment by telephone caused a loss OF
time by the fire fighters. The blaze
was discovered by Second Mate Hurger
of the Fort Gaines at $50 o'clock. He,
with another member of the crew. was
standing at the stern of the vessel. He
rushed to a nearby telephone but was
unable to give the number he wanted.

ARGENTINE WHEAT
SUBJECTED TO DUTY

II washington, December 3.-Hopes that
the cost of living might be reduced by
free importations of wheat. flour and
other wheat products from the great
South American grain producer the Ar
gentine republic went glimmering to-
day when Assistant Secretary Hamlin
sent notice to collectors of customs that
the retalatory duty on wheat and its
products must be enforced against Argen-
tina and most of the other nations of the
world Under the new tariff law wheat
and its products are to be admitted free
from countries which admitted such pro-
ducts free from the United States.
Argentina imposes duty on semoiina,
a product of wheat and although poth
the President and Congress of that ma
ton are understood here to favor re-
peal of this provision of their tariff law
such action has not been taken.
On wheat the retaliatory duty Will
amount to a few cents per bushels, on
flour about 40 cents per barrel and on
other products 10 per cent ad valorem.
Under the treasury departments decision,
wheat and its products will be admitted
| free only from Denmark, Finland, Meth
erlands and Great Britain.
| Housewives, however, may find some
comfort in a second order to collectors
whereby the 10 per cent retaliatory duty
on potatoes and potato products VIII nor
| be assessed against fresh. dried or ground
potatoes from Denmark; potatoes and po-
| tato products except potato flour from
| the Netherlands, and potato flour from

been at work here two days and state
tonight that they are about to get to-

There are now only one or two

they do. and make good average,

FILE PETITIONS FOR
LOWER COAL RATES
Claimed Discrirnir o4.~- Is
Shown by Roads Handling
Coal From Birmingham

Montgomery, December 3.-(Special.)
Petitions for lower coal rates from the
Birmingham district have been filed with
the state railroad commission by the
Business Mems leagues of Montgomery
and Dothan and the Alexander City Cot
ton mills of Alexander City. The petition
ers all allege that discrimination is shown
by the railroads handling coal.
The action of the business bodies of
Montgomery and Dothan and the Alex
ander concern is thought to be the result
OF the recent victory of Mobile and Selma
in securing reduced rates from Bir-
mingham to those cities. The commission
ordered reduction of 81 per ton on pig
iron from Birmingham to the gulf port.
The petition of the Birmingham Busi-
ness Mems league asks for local coal
rate between Birmingham and Montgon,>
cry on the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road, while the petitions of the Business
Mems league of Dothan and the Alexan-
der City concern make the Central of
Georgia and the Louisville and. Nash
Vile railroads defendants.
1t is expected that the coal rate cases
will be put on the commissions docket
for a hearing at the January meeting.
In addition to the three petitions for
lower coal rates, the Southern Sewer
Pipe company of Birmingham has re-
auested the commission to force the Nash
vile, Chattanooga and st. Louis railroad
to establish a lower rate on earthen pipe

To Frustrdte Plan To Flood
Coast With Hindu LdborerS

Immediately for sending forward many
laborers in the same way.
The American immigration department
became active, Mr.. Caminetti said, as
soon as the plan became known and the
majority of the Hindus applying for ad-
mission at San Francisco and other ports
afterward were rejected as liable to be-
come public charges.
Mr. Caminetti said he had arrived at an
agreement with the Great Northern Pa
cific railroads, restricting the transpor-
tation of Hindu laborers and hoped for
similar agreements with other transcon-
tinental lines.
A dispatch from Ottawa today says the
dominion government is considering a
plan suggested by the imperial and In
dian executives that the excess Hindu
population, instead of going to Canada
and South Africa, shall be sent to the
Soudan.

Hindu movement TO Canada, is showing
signs of increasing.

On the 9th and 10th of January, 1889. a
conference of the more intelligent class
of negroes met at Montgomery to attempt
to commit the President-elect. General
Harrison, to policy of liberal recognition
/ of their race in the distribution of the
honors and emoluments of executive pat
ronage.
The scheme was indeed imported. The
negroes of the northwest invented 1t.

This error has led to the most inhuman

The discriminations against the negro
on railroad trains. at hotels and theatres
was held to be a reflex of the injustice
done to him In his right to labor. The
negro made nothing farming where his
race was the only laborer, becadse he ives
unjustly treated. The remedy was to
dismiss the crude idea that civil equality
granted to the race would be tantamount
to social equality. The outgoing demo-
cratic president, Cleveland. had retained

Huber Not Guilty

Cincinnati, December 3.-On the ground
that he was insane when he killed John
Kunselman, his brother-in-law. last
June, a court jury here today found Rob-
ert Huber. Chicago jeweler. not guilty
of murder. The verdict did not refer to
Huber's present mental condition, and the
court therefore ordered him before a
lunacy commission. Huber had asserted
that Kunselman's treatment of Mrs.
Huber, when she was a guest of Kunseli-
mans home so upset him that he shot
Kunsellman, intending only to MAIN, not
to kill him.

How to Prevent wrinkles.


AS a woman gets older the skin needs
more and more care, for Nature is less
active in renewing It and throwing OFF
impurities There is also apt to be a
lack of natural oil. and this is why
women. as years go on. need to use
creams of some sort and to refrain
from the use of soap. Skin that is al
lowed to become dry wrinkles easily;
than 1t is to cure them, and the first
step in preventing them is not to allow
the skin to become dry.
There is no question as to the neces-
sity of toilet creams; the only ques-
ton is. what kind? This depends on
the skin and the purpose for which
the cream is to be used. AS a substi-
tute for soap. cleansing cream. is nee
essary. This may be a soft ointment
or a liquid. but it should be absolutely
free from harmful ingredients, such
as mineral oils and preservatiyes. and
should be soft enough to be rubbed
freely over the skin without causing
any friction. A cleansing cream will
keep the face clean, soft and well
fabricated and its use will do much
to prevent wrinkles, sunburn, freckles
ing properties. neither does 1t fatten
or feed the skin.
Rules for Massage.
a. very young face, as rule, does not
need massage, but as woman ap-
proaches thirty, and, unfortunately,
sometimes younger, the IaLty tissue
beneath the skin begins to fall away
and, in consequence, hollows and lines
and fine wrinkles about the eyes begin
to appear. 1t is then that we resort to
massage, which means the proper ma
nipulation of the face SO as to strength
en- the muscles and feed the skin. In a
future lesson l shall give you COM
plete directions for facial and neck
massage; for the mernent I have only
space to touch on the subject. The
skin can only be fed in two ways-by
means of the blood and by absorption
from outside-and to do this we must
use with the massage movements a
proper massage cream.
There are only a few fats that the
skin can absorb, and skin food there
fore must contain such fats If 1t is to
be of any use in removing wrinkles
A proper massage cream or skin food
called, is much thicker than a cleans
ing cream it is apt to be more expen-
sive, but 1t need not be so freely used
and a small jar of 1t will last long
time.
Special Creams for Special Needs.
Blackheads, acne (what is commonly
termed pimples), serious roughness OF
soreness of the skin, call for a special
cream containing some healing agent
A healthy skin needs such cream but
rarely, perhaps never, but 1T is wise
TO understand the different face cream:
| and their uses. First, there is the cream
/ for cleansing and iubricating purposes
| which every woman, young or old
| needs; second, the massage or wrinkle
cream, to be rubbed into the skin whel
wrinkles and lines are appearing. and
| third, a healing cream for eruptions
| blackheads and so on
