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

CLOSE OF THE SHOE TRAIL
Haverhill Leads the World as the
Greatest Producer.
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.

DUMAS THE YOUNGISH.
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-

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.

Seventy Allies.
Instantaneous communication be

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

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

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:

LIVE QUESTIONS
IN THE
FREELAND TRIBUNE.
Commencing with Monday,
January 13, 1800, and continu
ing through the year, the TRI
BUNE proposes to publish a
series of able articles upon
subjects of vital and general
interest to our readers. Emi
nent thinkers and writers of
national reputation on Social,
Economic and Industrial Prob
lems have promised contribu
tions upon topics of universal
interest. The list of authors,
and the comprehensive group
of "Live Questions" that will
be treated by them, can be
seen on this page, and will, we
confidently believe, merit the
hearty interest of readers who
are already interested in these
themes, and are anxious to
receive the most rational opin
ions obtainable.
All articles will be prepared
in an inquiring and scientific
spirit, and Will be non-sectional
and non-partisan. Vigor and
simplicity of statement will be
aimed at, and all phases of re
form thought will be fairly and
impartially presented. Upon
subjects about which there is a
variety of candid opinions, all
sides will receive an equal op
portunity to be heard, that the
truth may, if possible, be ar
rived at.
This is the first co-operative
attempt upon the part of able
writers to thoroughly discuss
all the interesting phases of
social and industrial life for
the masses who would be the
beneficiaries of substantial re
forms, and the arrangements
made by the TRIBUNE give us
the sole privilege of publishing
the articles in this town. They
can be read in no other Free
land paper, and those of our
readers who are not subscribers
should have their names placed
on the list without delay.
