Heavy Pig Iron Cut.

Pig iron and slabs. which Were 1875
per cent and 17.79 per cent, have been cut
20 per cent in each case; beams from
2. 20 per cent TO u per cent, and forgings
from 80 per cent TO 10 per cent. On the
other hand. bicycles, a much more highly
manufactured product, are dutiable at 2
per cent. as against a. per cent and
razors at Sc per cent. as against 7I6S per
cent

!cabinet wood, have been carried to the
rfree list. while sawed cabinet woods,
(which were 1916 per cent in 1872, are now
10 per cent; casks. barrels, etc, which
were 80 per cent. are now 1477 per cent.

in full. This was done because most OF
the widows have been found incapable
of properly caring for the money paid to
them, and some of them have started out
looking for new husbands Immediately
after receiving their awards.
Most of the improvident widows are
foreigners, who have little idea of the
value of the money given them, and con-
slider it sort of a dover for another
marriage When the compensation act
first went into effect the commission
ordered some of the awards to widows
paid Immediately; but upon investigation
it was found that the reasons given by
the women for immediate payment were
untrue.

FEWER STRONG MEN
IN UNCLE SANS ARMY
Physical Standard of Recruits
Is Deteriorating, Declare
Medical Corps Officers.

Recruits in the army are deteriorating
in physical standards since the days of
the civil war, according to Capt. Harold
w. Jones and other officers OF the Army
Medical Corps During a recent investi-
cation, measurements of 500 recruits We're
examined. and it was found that the per-
centage of strong men enlisted is by far
the lowest at the present day. only 33
per cent. as against 81 per cent in 1875.
The men considered weak at the present
time are 43 per cent, as against 10 per
cent in 1879. Attention is called to the
fact that the percentage of foreign-born
recruits has fallen from more than 60 per
cent to about . per cent. 1t is suggested
that many of the recruits obtained years
ago We're hardy German and Irish emf
grants OF stocky build, which may ac-
count for the great difference in the per-
centage of strong men.
Many Recruits Under Weight.
Capt Jones states that many of the
present recruits from the country districts
OF Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi
are found to be III fed and under weight.
and that the universal custom of waving
several pounds under the minimum gets

While President Wilson is
chasing golf ball around the
Country Club links at Gulfport
next week, and incidentally get
ing back his health, Mrs. Wilson
and her daughters, Eleanor and
Margaret, expect to slip away to
New Orleans. a
They will do little shopping,

If Mrs. Wilson and her daugh-
ters succeed in coming to the
Crescent City without being dis
turbed, they undoubtedly will
visit their cousins, Misses Lucy
and Mary Smith, living in Henry
Clay avenue. !,
Misses Smith visited the White
House for the wedding of Miss
Jessie Wilson and Francis
Bowes Sayre. They returned
several weeks ago to New Or
leans, and the visit of the ladies
of The Wilson family would be a
return social call.
Nothing definite could be OBJ
tanned from the White House
Monday about the proposed visit
of the Presidents wife and
daughters to New Orleans. Ev-
erybody was too busy getting
ready for their departure Tues
day night for the Sunny South,
and, besides, any announcement
would spoil their plans for a trip
to New Orleans.

There has not been anything
new about the suits which were
filed by the sugar planters against
the American Sugar Refining
Company. But if we are to judge
by the present policy Of the
Democratic administration, the
sugar planters have a bright
chance of winning their cases
provided that they can prove that
the trust violated the law. The
Democratic party today, outside
of that one mistake in placing
sugar on the Stree list" is fear
lessly prosecuting a proram which
is perfectly honest and sincere
and in the interest Of the people
of the United States, and against
the few who are asking certain
