SO SUITS SELL AT S1S.
Is Statement of Wool Merchant
at h Tariff Hearing.

Washington, Jan. %. THAT the aver
age wooden S12 to SIS suit of clothes
actually costs the factory So and is sold
wholesale So to $40, was admitted to
the ways and means committee yes
terday. Joseph d. Holmes, a New
York wooden merchant, presented the
figures in asking for a retention of high
wool duties.
Clothing would be no cheaper if the
duty on cloth were removed" he as
serted.
Eben S. Stevens, a Webster, Mass,
wool manufacturer, took the same fig
ures to illustrate his point that at looks
as though somebody has an iron clutch
on the wool business"
Holmes has defended the American
Wooden company. declaring twas not a
monopoly. John r. Wood of Philadel-
phia, for the National Association of
Wooden Manufacturers, opposed any
change in present duties.
Frank p. Bennett of Boston. editor of
the American Wooden q Cotton Report
err, argued for the re-enactment of the
Wilson law of 1894 at the outset of
yesterdays hearing.
Mr.. Bennett made a plea for entire
removal of the tariff upon wooden goods
to so per cent. He said that would
be in the interest both of the manufac-
turers and the sheep husbandry of the
United States, and declared the wool
tariff distorted sheep husbandry by en-
couraging growers to keep Improbable
animals.
The duty of 33 cents a pound, now
assessed upon secured wool, had imposed
a tax of nearly 500, 900, 900 upon the
American people, besides hampering the
manufacturers, the witness said.

eyes | think | may say that is so.
There was no distinct division between
the orthodox and Liberal churches when
l ministered in America, but from the
beginning | assumed that attitude, |
think a good many men become Liberal
in theology who do not remain so. They
go away from the old orthodox stand
point and travel a certain distance, and
then they come in sight of certain things
which they are not able to accept, and
turn back to the old position again. |
would rather say of myself hat | have
gone right OF and come out on the other
side into light. Today l think | am
more in sympathy with orthodoxy,
largely interpreted, than l am with
Liberal Christianity. But | have not
gone back, but come right through, so to
speak, and believe that is the legiti-
mate road to take"
you meant"
Il mean that Liberal Christianity
began its reputation of the Christ of the
Church and went back to what it fondly
called the Jesus of the Gospels. The
Christianity that we want, they said, and
that the world needs is the Christianity
that Jesus himself preached. That
position demanded an historical Jesus,
and so for the last half century Liberal
Christianity has been trying to find this
historical Jesus; in Germany especially,
and in this country. AS a result of the
most painstaking search the historical
Jesus cannot be found, because every
thing in the gospels relating to him is
seen to be shot through with magic and
miracle, so that it is utterly impossible
to separate what is historical and what
is mythical and legendary. Whoever
Jesus was and whatever he was he can
not come into our modern life; he be-
longs to the first century and not to the
twentieth"

HUNTS IN
Dog With Bad Eyes Seems to I'm
dersta nd Value of the GOGGLES.

Minnesota Fanny. a thoroughbred
English settler, a granddaughter of the
famous Joe Cummins, wears spectacles.
She is owned by Troy Cantrell of this
city and was fitted out recently with
specs by al occulist, who found that
she was suffering from astigmatism.
She is the best hunting dog in north
west Arkansas.
Before the opening of the quail sea-
son Fanny went to the fields by herself,
coming in at night badly scratched and
bruised. Cantrell could not understand
why until the opening day, when he
took his gun with Fanny to the fields.
The dog could not keep from falling
into the bitches and running into trees,
and Cantrell thought she was ''locoed. -
1t was found, however that her eyes
had gone bad during the summer, and
the occulist, after an examination, pre-
scribed glasses. The dogs specs" are
held in place by straps and appear much
like goggles. The lenses are protected
by protruding rims of metal. The dog
seems to understand their benefit and
hunts like an old timer with them on
Lead Hill (Ark.) Dispatch.
