Every husband can testify that this is incorrect. According to a recent regulation, pupils in the schools of Saxony will } her ter be required to commit to memory 291 Biblical verses and 193 verses of hymns in addition to the catechism. An Ohio speculator fainted when he saw that stocks in which he was in- terested were going down, and when he came to he found that he was many thousands of dollars richer than when he lost consciousness. Yet a few years from now he will tell his grandchild- ren that he made his money by econ- omy, industry, and the exercise of his superior ability. Exercise cannot with impunity be neglected, and should be taken reg- ularly and in moderation. Most wo- men would be all the better for walk- ing four or five miles each day, and, were they to do so, instead of de- pending so much on street cars, good complexions and trim figures would be far more common than they are among those who are no longer in their first youth. The origin of the tiger as an emblem of Tammany is said by W. C. Mont- a coffee and spice dealer, in New York, to date from the time when Tweed, then foreman of fire company, took a fancy ture of a royal Bengal tiger in the elder Montayne’s store in the "50's. Tweed adopted the emblem for the American club, and it soon was accepted by all Tammany. TARIFF WAS ILLEGAL ONCE, BUT Is LEGAL NOW. Duties Collected Before the Passage of the Foraker Act Were Ittegal and Must Be Returned—Consress Has the Right to Preseribe the Method of Collecting the Istund's Revenues and the Foraker Act Is Held to Be Constitutional —Tor Taxation Purposes Porto Révo Is Not a Part of the United States Dissenting Opinions. Washington, May 29.—In the United States supreme court yesterday opin- fons were handed down in all but two of the cases before that court involv- ing the relation of the United States to its insular possessions. The two cases in which no conclusion was an- nounced were those known as the Fourteen Diamond Rings case and the second of the Dooley cases. The un- decided Dooley case deals with a phase of the Porto Rican question, and the diamon rings case involves the right to the free importation of merchandise from the Philippines to the United States. The original intention of the court had been to adjourn for the term after yesterday's sitting, but diseus- sion of the cases passed on yesterday took about five hours, so the court ad- journed until to-day when it is pre- sumed the remaining cases will be passed on. On the several cases de- cided yesterday the two which at- tracted the greatest share of Attention the Court were what is known as the De Lima case and that known as the Downes case, and of these two the opinion in the Downes case is considered the most far-reaching as it affects our fu- ture relations, whereas the De Lima case dealt with a transitional phase of our insular relations. The De Lina case was the first to receive the at- tention of the court, and it appeared From A bill in the New York legislature proposes to give electric railway com- panies the same rights of condemna- tion as steam railways, with a view to promoting general competition with existing roads. The propriety of put- ting electric roads under regulations similar to those placed upon the steam roads with which they are expected to compete has taken form in some of the legislatures, and the Michigan house has passed a bill requiring owners and managers of interurban electric lines to equip their cars with lavatories. drinking water, axes, fire shovels cand other appliances, the same as are 1¢- quired on steam railroad cars. The omnigraph, as a new instrument designed to teach the art of telegraphy is called, consists of a baseboard on which are secured an ordinary key and sounder, between which a disk is mounted, formed on its periphery with teeth. A spring contact adjacent to the wheel engages the peripheral tecth of the disk. Although irregular, the arrangement of the teeth is arbitrary. ° For if the disk be rotated by means of to be quite sweepingly opposed to the government's contentions, many per- sons precipitately arrived at the con- clusion that the government had been worsted all along the line. This view suffered a decided change when the conclusion was announced in the Downes case. The court was very evenly divided on both cases, but polit- ical lines were not at all controlling. The De Lima case involved the power of the government to collect a duty on goods imported into the United States from Porto Rico after the ratification of the treaty of Paris and before the passage of The Porto Rican Act. The court said the government's con- tention in. this case was substantially a claim that Porto Rico is foreign ter- ritory. The entire cose turned upon thet contention. The court held that the position was not well taken; that Porto Rico was not at the time foreign territory and that, therefore, the duty which had been collected must be re- tu The decision in the Downes case followed the history of the dealings of the United States with Porto Rico a step farther. That case dealt with the _.vity of the exact’on of duties on goods imported from Porto Rico into a small crank shaft geared with the disk shaft, the spring contact is forced outwardly by the teeth, but drops back by its own elasticity and thus makes and breaks the circuit. The experienced telegraph operator detect- ing these makes and breaks at the sounder recognizes them as the dots and dashes of the Morse alphabet. Omitting the cost of water and the products of the soda fountains, the American Grocer estimates that the national “drink bill” for beverages of all kinds amounted last year to more than twelve hundred and _ twenty- eight million dollars. Alcoholic liq- uors account for more than a billion dollars; coffee, for one hundred and twenty-five millions; tea for thirty- seven millions, and cocoa for six mil- lions. Statistics are given to show that our consumption of alcohol is not increasing, and this, of course, is a thing to be thankful for; but the seri- ous fact remains, that for these bever- ages—some of which are unnecessary, and others distinctly harmful—there is squandered every year money enough to provide the comforts of life for all who are in misery, The old Scotchwoman who liked her minister because “he joombles_ the, jeodment an’ confoonds the sense” would have appreciated a bit of British legislation which the premier seems to view with sardonic amusement. “In an act of Parliament,” says Lord Salisbur: “which authorizes us to pr forward technical instruction, it is distinctly said that technical in- struction does not mean instruction in any art, or craft, or livelihood. Of cou t is rather difficult under those circumstances to w what it does mean, but if you will go forward in the act of Parliament you will find that it means the cultivation of foreign lan- . This is diverting indeed, but mor of the thing does not limit ance. Probably the British did not know exactly what he did want. Assuredly he is not the first man who has found it hard to draw a clear distinction betwixt “you may, you must, you cannot, and you should.” A remarkable flint bowlder has been discovered in England. In a eavity within the bowlder was found a full- srown toad, which must, when young, have entered the hole in the stone by a small aperture. There the unfortu- nate prisoner waxed to adolescence, and probably may have died of chag- rin that he had delayed his exit too Jong, for the hole afterward became silted up. The bowlder was exhibited recently before the Linnean society, and is eventually to be placed in tho Brighton museum. New York after the passage of the Foraker act providing for a duty upon goods s »ped from the United States. In this case the court held that such exaction was legal and constitutional. The point of the two opinions consid- ered collectively is that Porto Rico was never, After the Acquisition of that island, foreign territory; that until cangress acted upon the question no duty could be coliected, but that as soon “Ss congress outlined a method of controlling the island’: revenues that action became b'n other words, that congress has power under titution to p ibe the man- ner ng the revenues of the cecuntry’s s and has the right to levy a duty on goods im- ported into our insular po sions from the United States, or ex orted frcm them into the United Stat.s. It he'és, in brief, that for taxation pur- poses they are not a part of the United States to the extent that goods shipped between their ports and the United States are entitled to the same treat- ment as though they were shipped be- tween New York and New Orleans. Justice Brown delivered the court's opinion in both and there were vigor- ing opinions in both. In the s se, four of the nine mem- bers of the court united in an opinion, combatting In Strong Language the opinion of the majority in that case. In this opposing opinion the chief justice and Justices Harlan, Brewer and Peckham united, and the chief justice and Justice Harlan pre- sented their view: n written form. Justices Gray, Shiras, White and Mc- Kenna also, while agreeing with the conclusion announced by Justice Brown, announced that they had reached the conclusion by different lines of argument, and Justices Gray, White and McKenna announced opin- ions outlining their respective posi- tions. Justices Shiras, White and Mc- Kenna also dissented in the De Lima case, uniting in an opinion. Justice Gray also presented an independent and dissenting opinion in that case. The small court room was crowded to repletion throughout the day, prom- inent government officials and many attorneys being present and the pro- ceedings were followed from start to finish with keen interest. Other Cases Decided, The other cases decided by the court were those of Goetze vs. the United States, involving duties on importa- tions from Porto Rico, and Crossman vs. the United States, duties on Hawa- ian imports being involved. In these two cases the De Lima decision was followed and assessment of duties prior to enactment of legislation for the islands held illegal. The assess- ment of duties was partly sustained and partly upheld in the cases of Dooley and Armstrong vs. the United States, The duties were held legal when made during military occupation of Porto Rico and prior to ratification of the peace treaty but illgal when levied after the peace treaty but prior to the passage of the Foraker act. DEATH TAKES MANY. Twenty-one Miners Killed by an Explosion, Dayton, Tenn., May 29. — At the Richmond mine of the Dayton Coal and dron company, two miles from here, .a ‘terrific explosion of coal dust yesulted in the death of twenty-one men, all white, and most of them mar- ried and with families. The explosion was caused by what is known among miners as a “blown blast.” It is the custom of the miners to place blasts and fire them off at quitting time each afternoon, leaving the coal thus thrown down to be loaded and hauled from the mine the next morning. The Richland mine is destitute of water and great volumes of fine particles of coal dust, invisible to the naked eye, accumulate at the roof of the mine. ‘This dust is subject to explosion if ex- posed to flames. Yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock a dynamite cartridge was placed in position in one of the rooms for a blast and the miners started for the mouth of the mine. The blast did not explode as intended, but instead, A Long Flame Shot Oat of the blast hole and ignited the dust. Instantly a terrific explosion occurred and a seething mass of flames shot to the mouth of the mine and extended 300 feet into the open air, scorching the leaves from the near-by trees. There were thirty-four men in the mine at the time. Four of these escaped with slight injury. Twenty-one were killed and nine were terribly burned, most of them fatally. The force of the ex- plosion caused great masses of coal and slate to cave in from the roof of the mine and many of the fated miners were completely buried. Word quick- ly reached Dayton and rescue forces were at onee organized and proceeded to the mine. One by one the blackened and horribly disfigured bodies were taken from the debris and carried to the mouth of the mine, where they were put on a locomotive and taken to Dayton. Scores of relatives and friends gathered at the mouth of the mine and the shrieks of anguish as the bodies were removed were heartrend- ing. WILL REVISE CREED. Decisive Action Taken by the Gen- eral Assembly. Philadelphia, May 29.—By a unani- mous vote the Presbyterian general assembly yesterday adopted the report of the special committee on the revis- ion of the confession of faith. The de- bate on this important question had extended into the fourth day and to Rev. Dr. James D. Moffat is due the credit of having brought the commis- sioners to such a harmonious conclu- sion. When Recommendation B was, on Saturday, adopted by a compara- tively small majority, Dr. Moffat an- nounced that in view of the divergency of opinion he would offer an amend- ment which he hoped would meet with tre approval of the entire assembly. When he presented this amendement yesterday it was instantly accepted by the commissioners and the adoption of the report as a whole followed with but little delay. A viva voce vote was taken, and when 640 ayes responded to the question the commissioners arose and sang “Praise God from whem all blessings flow,” which was followed by a prayer of thanksgiving by Moderator Minton. Dr. Moffat's amendment pro- vides that the committee on revision be instructed to submit to the next general assembly a brief statement of The Reformed Faith expressed as far as possible in untech- nical terms. This statement to be pre- pared with a view to its being em- ployed to give information and a bet- ter understanding of their doctrinal beliefs and not with a view to its be- coming a substitute fer or an alterna- tive of the confession of faith. New York was selected’as the meet- ing place for the next general assem- bly. In commenting on the action of the assembly on the question of revis- ion Moderator Hinton sa! “The discussicn has developed and displayed far more clearly the agree- ment of the whole assembly upon the question of revision than any division of discord. The decision reached is a victory for no one, but for all.” Rev. Dr. Charles A. Dickey, chairman of the committee on revision, said: @ “The church may expect peace and progress during the coming year. The action of the assembly manifested mu- tual confidence. Without dissent the assembly determined to go forward and distinctly marked out the way for the forward movement.” THEFT OF A ART. Prisoner Wants to Know Whether It Constitutes Grand Larceny. Louisville, Ky., May 29. — Alford Hughes, a prisoner at the county jail, says the Kentucky courts will be called upon to decide whether the theft of a woman’s heart constitutes grand lar- ceny. That is the charge upon which he was arrested, and he claims that he has committed no offense save that of securing Mrs. Mattie Renison’s promise to marry him. Mrs. Renison is a pret- ty Sheperdsville widow. Hughes was formeriy engaged to Mrs. Renison. He says after the engagement was broken off he had not thought of her. “Mrs. Renison is a wealthy woman,” said Hughes, “but I never got any of her money. ILLICIT OLEOMARGARINE PLANT, Judge Kohlxant I oses an Fine of $10,000 on A. T. Dow. Chicago, May 29.—A fine of $10,000 said to he the heaviest money penalty ever imposed in the United States dis- trict court, was given by Judge Kohl- saat, together with a jail sentence. against Albert T. Dow, proprietor of the Fertile Valley Creamery company. The defendant pleaded guilty to con- ducting an illicit oleomargarine plant. PREFERRED SUICIDE. Anarchist Didn’t Like the Job of Killing the Kaiser. Rome, May 29. — A newspaper pub- lished in Verona reports the attempted suicide of a youthful blacksmith named Pietrucci, who has confessed that he belonged to a society of anarchists and was chesen by lot to kill the emperor of Germany. He preferred suicide to making the attempt. In his confession he also divulges the names of certain of his comrades who had been selected to kill Queen Helena of Italy, President rage of France and the czar of Rus- RACE ENDS IN DEATH TERRIFIC COLLISION IN WHICB FIVE LIVES WERE LOstT. Over Forty Prominent Peopte In- jured, Some Fatally and Others Seriously—Electric Cars Race for a Switch While Running in Op- posite Form Directions — Passengers a Struggling, Shrieking Pyramid, Mixed With Blood, De- tached Portions of Human Bodies and the Wreckage of the Cars. Albany, N. Y., May 28.—Electric cara racing for a switch while running in opposite directions at the rate of forty miles an hour, cost five lives yester- day afternoon by a terrific collision in which over forty prominent people were injured, some fatally and others seriously. The lobby of the local post- office filled with dead and wounded, hysterical women and children looking for relatives and friends, surgeons ad- ministering temporary relief and am- bulances racing through the city, tak- ing the wounded to hospitals, were the early intimations of the accident. ‘The scene of the accident was a point about two miles out of Green Bush, on the line of the Albany & Hudson rail- way. The point where the cars met on the single track was at a sharp curve, and so fast were both running and so sudden was the collission that the mo- torman never had time to put on the brakes before south-bound car No. 22 had gone almost clean through north- bound car No. 17, and hung on the edge of a high bluff with its load of Shrieking, Maimed Humanity. One motorman was pinioned up against the smashed front of the south-bound car with both legs severed and instant- ly killed, while the other one lived a few minutes. Fully 120 men, women and children formed a_ struggling, shrieking pyramid, mixed with blood, detached portions of human bodies and the wreckage of the cars. Some of the more slightly injured of the men extricated themselves and be- gan to pull people out of the rear ends of the two cars, and almost every one was taken out in this way and nearly all were badly injured. The few wo- men and children who had escaped in- ‘jury and death were hysterical and added their cries to the shrieks of the dying and mutilated. Men with broken arms and bones and dislocated joints and bloody heads and faces, tried to assist others who were more helpless. Help had been summoned from East Greenbush and vicinity and in a little time the bruised mass of humanity with the mutilated dead for a gruesome and silent company were loaded on ex- tra cars and taken to Albany. There ambulances and physicians had been summoned and the postoffice turned into a morgue and hospital. As fast as the physicians could temporarily fix up the wounded they were taken to their homes or to the hospitals. Metorman Took Chances. With both motormen Killed it was hard to get at the real cause of the accident, but it was pretty well de- termined that it was caused by an at» tempt of the south-bound car to reach a second switch instead of waiting for the north-bound car at the first siding. The cars weigh fifteen tons each and are the largest electric cars built, but so frightful was the crash that, both cars were torn almost to splinters. Both cars were filled with Sunday pleasure seekers returning from the new recreation grounds that the rail- way had just opened.- The cars on the line were running at switch headway— that is, asa car reached a siding switch it was supposed to wait until another going in the opposite direc- tion passed. The motorman of the south-bound car reached one of the switches, but seeing no north-bound car, decided to take chances and go on to the next siding. It was at a curve between that the two cars met. TILLMAN AND MWLAURIN RESIGN. WH Give Peopie a Cixnee to De- cide Between Them. Gaffney, S. C,, May 28.—United States Benators Benjamin R. Tillman and John L. McLaurin have resigned their high offices, to take effect on Sept. 15 next. The resignations, which have beer forwarded to Gov. McSweeney and are already beyond recall, resulted trem an acrimonious political debate in this city, the culmination of a bit- ter factional fight long existing be- tween the two senators, who represent the rival divisions of the Democracy in the South. In Saturday's debate, where McLaurin charged Tillman had no business to appear, personalities and strong language were used with liberal- Ity. The senior senator's declaration that the re-election of McLaurin would be teken as meaning that the people could not indorse him (Tillman), was folicwed by McLaurin’s suggestion that both resign and go before the electors of the state for incdcrsement. Senator Tillmar agreed and went farther than Mc}.aurin in that he left the race open to all candidates, refusing to sign an agreement that the governor should aproint him or his rival to the office when the voters named their choice. It is understood that Senator Mc- Laurin and Senator Tillman have a tacit agreement to contest for the long term to which Tillman was elected last January. Under the state Demo- cratic party rules the candidate must designate specifically the office to which he aspires. Whether McLaurin wins over Tillman or Tillman is re- elected, McLalin’s unexpired term will be filled by a new man. SIVER SERVICE FOR WISCONSIN. Big Battleship Made the Recipient of a Beautiful Present.

Milwaukee, Wis., May 29.—With hull completely overturned, spars down and rigging torn away, what appears to be the three-masted schooner Rand is drifting down the lake and is now oft Fox Point, fifteen miles north of here. Reports from Racine tally with the description furnished by the life-saving erew which returned at 6 o’clock last night with the mizzen boom and mast in tow. ,If, as the indications would signify, the vessel is the Rand. it is more than likely that the crew of four persons is lost. BLA Powerhouse of Incline Road Is in Duluth, Minn., 29. — Fire de- May stroyed the hilltop pavilion at the top of the incline road, Seventh avenue west.
