JANUARY 2 1896. A Temporary Tariff Job. From the Philadelphia Record. No one is likely to be deceived with the ruse of the tariff tinkers in framing a two-years limit to their horizontal bill as a temporary measure of "revenue only." The Republicans are confident, of course, of electing their candidate for the presidency next year; they will have control of the senate, and they have little fear that their overwhelming majority in the house will he succeeded by a Democratic majority in the lifty liftL congress. In these conditions the temporary tariff bill "for revenue" would remain a permanent tariff for protection, unless in the triumph of vic tory the duties should bo screwed up still higher for the sake of more "rev enue." At any rate, the pleasing pros pect is afforded the manufuctun r , work ingmen and merchants of the country of a renewal of tariff agitation in con gress at the end of the two years, no matter what might be the result of the elections. The Republicans are pledged by the terms of their bill to go, at least, through the motion of revising the ta• !T when the limit fixed in this hill - .11 have expired. Ti,.

Haverhill, Mass., Dec. 28. —The shoe year, which ended yesterday, shows an other record breaker and this eity sti retains the lead as the largest shoe producing centre in the world. The record of shipments for the year is 306,010 cases, which is an increase of 10,107 over that of last year. The ship ments for 1804 were the largest previ ously known, being 347,803 "cases, and this was accomplished during the busi est sale that has ever been known locally. The shipments last year were an increase of 11,163 cases over those of 1893, and the figures of the increase this year are most surprising when the labor troubles and the big strike of last January are considered. During that time the six largest firms in the I city were doing comparatively little j business. The total, with the esti- i mated average of forty pairs to a case, ! shows the production of 14,676,400 ! pairs of shoes, as against 13,912,120 for' 1894. BOND ISSUE SOON EXPECTED. Liu lo Hope of the Senate and Houso Agreeing on a Kelief Measure Washington, Dec. 28.—Secretary Car- j lisle spent most of yesterday in consul tation with the president and was at j the treasury only for a few minutes. 1 The impression is general that the ! president, living up to the language of his message to congress on its opening, will within a short time sell §100,000,- 000 bonds, unless there is evidence that some relief measure will pass congress speedily. The best opinion is that the chances for tin' senate and house to concur quickly in any measure that will meet the approval of the presi- j dent, are slight. 1 A 31! NI: TH RE ATEN ED.

In Many Respects Ho Was a Truly Remarkable Man. His Childhood Was Not a Happy One— Some f the Products of His Pen Which Brought Him Fame—Father and Son Compared. Alexandre Dumas, fils, who died on November 27, was born in Paris on July 23, 1824. lie was a natural ehild. In the preface to a volume of his plays, published in 1877, is found this frag ment of autobiography, which is a charming picture of the generosity of nature, tlie moral courage, the high mi tidedness of the average French schoolboy; "My mother was a good, courageous woman who worked to rear me; my father a goverment employe, with a salary of 1,2U0 francs u year ($240), ha ving his mother lo support. By a lucky chance It so hap pened that my father, though impulsive, was kind-hearted. When, after his first successes as a dramatist, he thought he could rely upon the future, ho recognized me and gave me his name. That was much; the law did not force him to do so, and I have been so grateful that 1 have borne that name as well as I could. Yet it appeared that his name was not enough In the eyes of the children whose position was perfectly regular before the law, and in the midst of whom I was placed very ; early in a great boarding school kept by I one of the best of men, M. ProsperGoubaux. ! These children Insulted me from morning till night; delighted, probably, to abuse in me the celebrated name of my father be cause my mother had the misfortune not to bear it. There was not a day that I did not have a tight with one or another of my comrades, and sometimes with sev eral together, for their cowardice was not solely moral. Those who were not thus said nothing and looked on. My suffering, , which I have described in 'L' Affaire Clem- \ enceau,' and of which I never spoke to my ' mother so as not to distress her, lasted five or six years." At an early age the young Dumas was placed in the Goubaux institution, I where (and also at the Bourbon college) lie made briliant progress. Aeeus- I tomed from his earliest youth to liter ary surroundings, he soon evinced 1 strong and positive likes and dislikes on the subjects that were discussed be fore him by his father and his friends. At the age of 17 he wrote a number of poems, which were published in a vol ume in 1847, entitled "Les Peclies de Jannesse." This work has almost been . lost sight of,a nd possesses little literary merit, although there are some pleas- ALEXANDRE DUMAS, FILS. iiig lines, and the motif is evidently sincere in its naivete; it is of youth | youthful. After having accompanied j his father on a journey to Spain and Africa he wrote a fantastic book called •'Adventures de Quatre Femmes etd'un Perroquet." In 1848 he wrote and : published "La Dame aux Camellias." Between the years 1855 and 1870 more j than 50 curtain-raisers and plays from j the young Dumas' pen were produced in the Paris theaters. After the first j disasters in 1870 M. Dumas retired to his j estate in Pnys, near Dieppe. The day ! after the commune he sent to a news paper in Rouen "La Lett re sur les | Glioses du Jour," full of patriotism and j invectives against the revolutionists. Returning to Paris in 1872, he had a | series of plays produced at the Gym- j nase. The first two pieces were "Une j Visite de Noces" and "La Princess , Georges." The great success of the play ' was in a measure due to Mdlle. Aimee Desclee, who played the principal roles, j Besides "La Dame aux Camellias," his j greatest dramatic triumphs have been ! "Les Idees de Mine. Aubray,"a comedy; i "Une Yiste de Noces," "La Princess© ' Georges," "Monsieur Alphonse" and "L'Etrangere." In 1572 he published ! "L'llonime Femme," which repeated ' the thesis of his novel, "L'AffaireClem- j enceau,' and a dramatic version of it was j produced at the Gym nase in 1873 under I the title "La Femme de Claude," a ! play which was revived at the Renais- j sance theater by Sarah Bernhardt in j 1894. M. Dumas was installed a member of I 1 lie French academy on February 11, j 1873, and was promoted to the rank of ! commander of the Legion of Honor. His drama, "Joseph Balsamo," based | en his father's romance, "Cngliostro," | was per. med for the first time at the j Odeon, March 18, 1878. He published in ISSO "Les Femmes qui Tuent et les ; Femmes qui Votent," in ISBI "La Prin- ' cesse de Bagdad," in 1885 "Denise" and j in 1887 "Francillon." M. Dumas was a remarkable exam- , pic of inheritance of talent. Yet be- j tween the author of "La Dame aux Ca- ; me' ias," and the author of "Les Trois j Mosquetaires" there is as great a dif- | fcrenee as between the "Annanil Du val" of the former and the "D'Ar- j tngnan" of the latter. The son once ! attempted to explain this difference j by saying; "My father was born in j a poetic ago. and he is an idealist; 1 j was horn in a materialistic age, and 1 ; mil a realist. My father takes his sub- j jeets from dreamland; 1 take mine from life. He works with his eyes shut, 1 with mine open. He starts from a fact; 1 from an idea." The father, j however, was nearer the truth, and ep- j {grammatically neater when lie ! summed up with the words: "He is ; a photographer; lam a painter." The ! father owed the larger part of his sue- j cess to his power as a story-teller— ! abounding in action, splendid in color, j full of life, gnyety and charm, always ! g?odly and glad; never sick and sorry. NEW ATHLETIC GAME. It IH Called Pushball and Is Vory Popular at Harvard. The new game of pushball, which has l-.tely been introduced and played at Harvard, has some of the essential fea tures of football, but possesses many original points. The ball itself is a great curiosity. It is constructed in much the same manner us a football—a rubber bladder covered with strips of leather—only it is perfectly round. When inflated it is six feet three inches ■ in diameter, and weighs 120 pounds. ! It can be moved with very slight pres sure—indeed, a good wind will send it j rolling across the field at a lively rate. i Pushball, says Leslie's Weekly, is ; played by two teams of eight men each. The main purpose of the game is, as in football, to advance the ball into the op ponents' territory and finally across the goal-line, and this is done by the con- Tim NEW GAiIE OV PUSHBALL. certed shoulder-pushing of the players. The game is played on a regulat ion foot ball Held, but only 40 yards of the "gridiron's" length is used. The ball in placed on the center line and the players group themeslves on either side of it. The center plays directly behind the bail, with a guard and tackle 011 each side of him. Two forwards play "off-side" to brush the opposing players away from the ball, and the captain, or full-back, stands at some distance be hind his men, directing the play by a code of signals. . The pushing is done with the shoulder entirely, and advances are made by sci entific twisting from side to side. Ow ing to the rapidity of the game, which requires much the same exertion as a tug-of-war, the periods of play are usually not more than two minutes in length. When time is culled the side having advanced the ball into the oth er's territory scores one or more points. One point is scored if a five yard advance has been made, two points if a ten-yard advance, and so on, until finally, if a 20-yard advance has been made, thus carrying the ball across the goal-line, it counts five points. Team play and scientific manipulations are the great requisites for pushball. The only pushball in existence is the one now in use at Harvard. It is owned by Mr. M. G. Crane, of Newton, Mass., the inventor of the game, and was con structed at a cost of S2OO. HELIOGRAPH SIGNALS. Can lid Ki'iid Easily at u Distance of Folly Seventy Allies. Instantaneous communication be tween two persons 70 miles apart with out the use either of the telegraph or the telephone seems to those who do not know of the process to he impos sible, yet recently it was easily accom plished by members of the L'nited States signal corps stationed in Denver, Col., and upon J.ong's Peak, which is three si ore and a half miles from the city; and, moreover, it is not an unusual achievement. An instrument called the, heliograph was the means where by the apparently impossible feat was performed. The heliographing outfit consists of a mirror, a shutter, a tele scope and a field-glass. The mirror and shutter are mounted on tripods, for it L HELIOGRAPH SIGNALING*. convenience. When it is desired toeom lminicutc with persons in any specified locality the mirror is set so as to throw a reflection of the sun in that direction The opening- and closing- of the shutter in front, of the mirror gives the effect of the dots and dashes of the Morse tele graphing- code, and the message can thus be read. At ordinary distances the telescope is unnecessary. The world's record in long-distance signaling is held by the Colorado department of the army signal service corps. The Whole Community flolntrri. It is stated as an actual fact that all the people residing in Letchter coun ty, Ky„ are related to one another, di rectly or indirectly. The reason of this is found in the remarkable Webb fam ily. There are three brothers and three sisters of the original family, all living near Sargent, and they have 110 fewer than 7IS descendants living in the neighborhood. The eldest member of the family, Lottie,isS2 years old,and has 20 children, 95 grandchildren, and 50 great-grandchildren. Polly, aged 80, has 10 children and almost as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren as Lottie. The youngest, Wiley, has the fewest descendants. He is 70 years old and lias 11 children, 51 grandchil dren uud 15 great-grandchildren. A SAMOAN SENSATION. King and Rebel Prince Figure in This Strange Story. they Arc Rivals In I.ove an Well as In Politics—The Woman In the Case Is Described as Ilring Pretty and Patriotic. The taupou of Vaiala is the woman in the story. Such another heroine for a novel could not be found in all Samoa, according to the San Francisco Chron icle. A taupou is among Snmoan wom en what a chief is among the men. All through her life she is carefully pro tected from temptation. A taupou may always be recognized, for, wherever she goes, attendants accompany her. These attendants are known as an u alum a. The taupou iB queen of the j village, of such nobility as to be the wife Of a chief, and is one of those few per sons ID Samoa entitled to wear the ula j Jei, or necklace of whale's teeth. 1 The taupou of Somoa is the prettiest ;of Snmoan women. The village in which she holds the high rank is the one : in the midst of which the American j consulate at Apia is located. Although born of Samoan nobility she was edu -1 cated by the missionaries, and reads, writes and speaks languages other than ' her own. She is described as cultured : and accomplished. So in love was she ! with native customs and her native ! home that, after her education had been ! completed, she chose to forsake the | :Furopenn garments she had be.en taught to wear and take up again the simple covering worn by the natives. Soon the pretty girl forsook licr Eng lish and her French, and tried much more assiduously to lead the siva or native dance than she had ever tried to learn stilted foreign accomplish ments. This girl, well known to many island travelers as the belle of Samoa, has had the strange good fortune to be loved 133- the king of Sumoa, Malietoa, and also by the rebel prince, Tamasese. Tamasese, the prince, was the first of the rival 3 to make his love known to the girl. Things went so far that there was a proffer of marriage. lie sent his "talking man" to meet her "talking woman" and to tell his desire. TAUPOU OF VAIALA. The beautiful Samoan girl loved by both king and rebel prince. | lie sent pigs and mats and other pres ents, but, in accordance with the native j custom, was not permitted to speak to the girl he loved in person. Tamasese was rejected, but contin ued to love the girl. To the horror of this rebel prince, and to make his hatred of the present government all the stronger, King Malietoa became enamored of the same beautiful taupou. 'I ho king, though, has an incumbrance, for he was married some years ugo. There is a native custom that came in iery handily in this emergency, how ever, for a Samoan chief of any rank is entitled to set aside his wife when ever he chooses and to take another. \\ hen King Malietoa attempted to set aside liis wife a month ago he found difficulties in the way. What happened then is the talk of all the islands, and l'iny, before the clouds clear, cause an other war. The queen refused to be set aside. This emulation of Catherine of Aragon produced a sensation in Samoa. Nothing of the sort had been heard of before. The queen, however, declared she had been married to the king by the missionaries and would not leave him. In case she was set aside she threatened most direful vengeance. King Malietoa, accompanied by liis advisers had gone so far as to pay vis its by night to the mother of the tau pou of Vaiala, but now the threatened tengennce of the queen has stopped even this. The queen and the lovely taupou do not speak as they pass by, and the king and rebel prince may meet 111 deadly combat before the romance is properly ended. Tamasese is the son of a man once declared king by the Germans, and his pretenses to the throne once before involved the coun try in war. Now he lias unother reason. An English Archdeacon's Toast. Archdeacon Denison is said to have once proposed a toast in the following terms: "Lest there should be anyone of this vast assembly who should feel him self left out in the cold, lest there should be anyone who should be. able to go away and say: 'My health was not drunk,'l am about to propose a toast which 1 think will include everybody. It is this: "Here's a health to all those that we love jlere s a health to all those that love us- Here a u health to all those that love them lliat love those that love them that love us.
