to the government, insisting on rails

proved so intense that in spite of its

ed out that Germany's commercial
armour would prove too heavy for a
successful struggle. The .conserva-
tives, representing the agricultural
interest thought they needed more
Protection, and the radicals and the
socialists denounced it as robbery.
1t was soon perceived that only he

from wreck. Accordingly, the gov

on compromise by which the former
accepted the increased rates adopted !
by the committee, and the latter |
agreed to vote with the government
on a motion to cut off the debates
and to vote the measure as a whole. !
This was carried over the vehement
opposition of the Left. and the bill
became a law and received the En-

The government was now ready to
enter into negotiations with the diff

IN the new Tariff. 1t took two years

Germany Has No Tariff Commission.

Washington, November 25.-There
Is such widespread misunderstandin,
OF the German tariff making system
that II will probably create surpris,
when the definite statement is mad,
that Germany has no permanent Tar
if commission. In other words,
Germany has no such Tariff com.
mission as is proposed for the United
states at the present time. She has
no commission even resembling the
late Tariff board.
At certain times, when her trea-
ties with foreign nations expire. Ger
many appoints a commission to re-
make the Tariff laws, and with the
governments approval the new Tar
in is submitted to the Reichstag and
approved generally with few correc-
tions. At all other times, however,
there is no commission. The Home
Once continues to study and handle
the Tariff, just as the Treasury De-
partment and the Department of com
merce are supposed to do in this
country.
The idea of German tariff com-
mission composed of experts con-
stantly experimenting the operations
Of the Tariff and suggesting occasion
al changes is simply myth. II 1t
had not been for the European war
Germany would be revising her Tar
IFS at the present time. Her trea
ties with foreign nations expire in
1917. The Germans begin to work
on the problem usually about this far
in advance of the expiration of the
commercial treaties. The Germans
have a way of moving slowly but
surely. For instance. Prince Bis /
marck became convert to Protec- !
ton. Even al that time, however. /
the arrangements and wording of the
Tariff schedules were left substan-
TALLY the same as they were i'm the
early part of the nineteenth century
and only the rates were considerably
increased. Since 1879 there was no
Tariff revision until 1891, when the
inaugurated a new policy
OF concluding commercial reciprocity
by which several of the rates were
reduced in favor of the countries
with which such treaties were con-
cluded. These treaties were all to
expire I'm December, 1903. and in an
ticipation of that event the govern
ment set about preparing for new
series of treaties.
The system of Germany is to make
her commercial treaties with other
nations for periods which run four
teen years. The treaties which were
made in 1903 run until 1917. There
ias been no Tariff revision in Ger
many since 1908. The German gov
-rnment would be revising The Tar

NO SHELTER FOR MURDERERs
Protection Afforded by House Of
an Ambassador.

1t was the grim old Oliver Crom-
we'll who first showed that the house
of an ambassador was not an inviola.
Bile sanctuary for all classes of Of
tenders and that at least the line Of
protection could not hold against a
murderer. In November, 1852, Don
Pantaleon Sa, brother of an ambassa,
dor from Portugal to England, walk
ing in the New Exchange, London, en-
gagged in a quarrel with a young Eng
lish gentleman named Gerard They
were separated, leaving Gerard
slightly wounded in the shoulder The
next day Don Pantaleon came to the
exchange with fifty well-armed fol-
lowers, for revenge. Four English
men were slightly wounded and Mr..
Greenway, while walking with his SIS
ter and lady to whom he was en-.
gagged, being mistaken for Gerard,
was killed by pistol shot through
the head. A great and enraged crowd
collected The Portuguese took ref
uge IN their house of embassy. Crom-
well, the lord protector sent mes
senger to the embassy, stating that II
the criminals were not given up to the
civil authorities the. soldiers guarding
the embassy would be withdrawn and
the mob left to do as it pleased. Don
Pantaleon, three Portuguese and IAN
English boy" were given up and com,
mitted to Newgate. Their trial was
delayed. A mixed jury of Englishmen
and foreigners brought in verdict
of guilty and the five were sentenced
to be hanged. The three Portuguese
were pardoned, the English boy
was hanged and Don Pantaleon, at the
request of his brother, the ambassa-
dor, was spared from hanging and
was heheaded on July 10, 1858. This
case impressed foreign nations with
sense of Cromwells power, and
nas eter since been considered
as a precedent in questions respecting
the privilege of ambassadors and the

Dog funerals are no longer an I'M
common thing in New York Every
day the local office of the dog Gene
terry in Twenty-ffth street has few
visitors who shed copious tears as
they make arrangements for their
dogs interment. And some of the
numerous mourners are willing to pay
large sums to give their favorite pet
a comfortable resting place, even to
the extent of buying tombstones for
them. A ramb1e through this dog Gem.
etery, which is at Hartsdale, will dis
close many remarkable instances Of
the devotion of owners to the memo
ries of the animals they loved. Most
of the graves have monuments erected
over them with inscriptions telling Of
the good qualities Of the pets which
have gone to the happy hunting
grounds" Some of these monuments
are very pretentious affairs and cost
as much as $1,000. The cemetery is
we'll kept and flowers bloom on prac-
tlcally all of the plots.

Living Whist"

The game of living whist" is fG<
lower, and most unsatisfactory one,
as a matter of fact, of the game of
living chess" The latter has been
given frequently in out-of-doors fetes.
The ground is marked in squares, like
a huge chessbOard, and the pieces are
represented by women and men in cos
tunes that indicates their positions.
queens, bishops, knights, pawns, etc.
The game is played by me directions
of two persons seated on thrones at
the edge of the board the pieces max
irg the moves indicated by them.
Living whist" followed this scheme,
but by its nature was far less success
full. The board and squares were lack
ing and the game did not lend itself
to the scheme. Of such a game as
living bridge or living auction"
however, we can find no record, and
it is most unlikely that such a gams
could be played at all, as the bidding,
which is, of course, the real essence
of these games, would be an imposst
bility.

Two deaths from infantile paralysis
occurred at st. Johnsbury during the
night of Sept. 10, one at 1l45 O'Clock,

child of Mr.. and Mrs. Floyd Holmes, of
Harrison ave., the other at one O'Clock
Monday morning, Henry, the eight
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Thibodeau, of Concord avenue.
AS the crow flies the two houses are
less than an eighth of a mile apart.
Both children became i'll last Friday.
The Thibodeau child was in the first
stages of the disease. There was no
paralysis but he had all the other symp-
toms. The Holmes baby lost the use
of all his limbs Saturday. Sunday
morning he was able to raise both
hands but his bowels and lungs were
paralyzed.
Burial took place Monday morning in
the Roman Catholic cemetery, priests
reading the committal services.
The death of the 1hibodeau child is
particularly sad as the parents in March,
1914, lost little girl who was run over
by freight train while she was on the
way to church.
The two families will be in quarantine
for 10 days.

Small Potato Crop in Windham.

In the opinion of A. W. Sweeton,
Windham county agricultural agent, not
over so per cent of the average potato
crop of the county will be marketed this
fall. The extremely long season of
very hot weather and the late-blight,
dry-rot which has been prevalent this
seeson are the two principal reasons
for this small crop. The acreage this
season is about the same as for severa
years past, but in most cases where the
potatoes were planted in moist ground
they are not being dug. The low places
stood in water much of the time and
there was no crop.
1t has been some years since late
blight has bothered the potato growers
Of the countyvery much, and in fancied
security most of them this year failed
to spray as a preventative. In conse-
quence, they are paving for this failure

Despondent Man Commits Suicide

James M. Lewis, aged II years, COM
mitted suicide at st. Johnsbury Sunday
morning by hanging. Lewis went to
st. Johnsbury four years ago from Ar
monk, N. Y, with the family of Louis
J. Long, with whom he had lived for
10 years. Although he had three broth
ers and five sisters, he had lost track of
them and it is thought that he was de-
spondent over the fact that his own
relatives were neglecting him and that
he was dependent on others.
Mr.. Lewis seemed in his usual health
when he ate breakfast with the family.
Shortly after, he went to the barn and
making moose out of halter hanged
himself from a beam in horse stall.
