GENERAL NEWS.
The senators are now devising
methods by which the oleomargarine
bill can be defeated. The scheme is
to amend it so as to nullify its pro
Tisions. E. C. Simmons, adivsory director
of the Simmons Hardware Company,
stated that there was a $30,000,000
deal on, which would probably end in
the consolidation of four of the larg
est hardware concerns in the coun
try. Florence Burns, the young Brook
lyn woman who has been in the cus
tody of the police of New York city
since February 15, under suspicion of
knowing how Walter Brooks met his
death, was discharged from custody
by Justice Mayer.
Unless one party or the other re
cedes from its present position, the
probabilities are that every brewery
In Boston will be closed April 1. The
trouble may also affect the barten
ders of that and other cities. The
1500 brewery workmen have request
ed the master brewers to grant them
an eight-hour work day April 1,
without reduction of wages.
The contest for a shorter work day
which is being carried on against
paper manufacturers by the United
Brotherhood of Paper Makers of
America, is oxpected to roach a crisis
within two weeks. Representative's
of nowspaper manufacturers and of
labor unions interested in the jraper
trade had a conference in wlMiaukee,
Wis. It was called by Secretary tens
ley, of the National Civic Federation
to avert, if possible, a threatened
strike of the men employed in the pa
por mills.

New York. March 24. After one of
the busiest sensons in lis history the
New York State Legislature closes
next Thursday, which by the way will
be the earliest adjournment on re
cord for that body. A large number
of bills have been passed and equally
as may shelved, but the most notable
of the latter is the "three platoon"
bill, which has been tho cause of a
great expenditure of money by the
policemen of New York.

of so much gratification on the part
of Comptroller Grout as the passage
of the bill by the state assembly to
permit the collection of Now York
city taxes in the spring instead of in
the fall. However simple the change
I may seem, it means a great deal for
j the city, which for years has been
ouugeu 10 live upon its iimuu iiicuihu
and for nine months of the year to
borrow from the banks $50,000,000
and more, in order to provide for Its
expenses until such time as its taxes
are paid. This cost the city some
thing like a round million in interest
charges.

i London that Panama hats arc goli.,?
to cost more the .coming season tnon
over before. This will be pleasing in-!
formation for the thrifty young num.;
whn nrnnnmlciillv Invested from $20 1
to $100 each last summer for a Pnn
amn hat. The English hats arc made
principally In Belgium and tho makers
have declared a DO per cent advance
in prices largely based on the oxcess
of demand over supply. Last year
the Panama here was so popular that
the supply was quickly exhausted de
spite the fact that some of the prices
paid for designs were high enough to
make a fashionable woman's milliner
hide her face and admit that she did
not know how to charge. If they are
ngni to be In style, It will relieve the
minds of many a young man who
squandorcd more on his last season's
Panama than he could nfford and
whose only hope of getting square
with his finances is to wear his Pan
ama another summer.
Admiral Taylor has addressed n
letter to Presldont Cantor of Man
hattan In regard to the bill to lease
part of Blackwell's Island, which is
now used for various city institutions,
to the government for a naval park
and drill ground. Tho position of the
island would cause it to become a
depository of Hags, trophies and in
teresting relics, and would become a
national site for monuments of other
naval memorials, Admiral Taylor
thinks.
Every year New York receives
from anonymous contributions money
paid in restitution and credited to the
"conscience fund." The amounts are
imall. varying some years from as
low as $50 and as high as $400.
Last year they were $302. The state
government gets very little from any
conscience fund. Some years ago
there were no such payments; the lat
est statistics show that last year they
were $10.
The majority of American girls
who have become English women and
who will be conspicuous as hostesses
during the gay season following King
Edward's coronation are New York
ers. The Duchess of Marlborough,
who will probably head the list of
most lavish entertainers as her func
tions will extend beyond London to
her country place at Blenheim, is the
daughter of William K. Vanderbilt.
Lady Strafford who is both beautiful
and immensely wealthy was Mrs. Cora
Colgate, of New York. Then there is
the Dowager Duchess of Manchester,
also Mrs. Arthur Paget, the Countess
of Craven and Lady Boresford, all of
whom have reigned as belles of Goth
am's smart set.
Nineteen hundred and two will be
what is known as a state vonr in Now
York, for the offices to be filled at
the fall elections except for congress,
are all state posts. The date of the
official primary election in Now York
Cjty will be September 1C.
Wall street men are looking for
ward with an unusual degree of in
terest to the visit of Count Matsu
kata and other leading Japanese
who are now en route to America
next month. Count Matsukata is one
of the foremost financiers and states
men of Japan and by his visit' in
the street will hear more about tho
proposed Japanese loan of $10,000,000
being floated hero.
One of the most striking incongru
ities of official salaries in New York
is the compensation paid the physi
cians In the fire department, as com
pared with that paid to the physicians
in the police department. The firmer
get $2000 and the latter $3000. The
matter has caused quite a deal of
grumbling and discussion, and the
present administration will be called
upon no doubt to act in the matter.

The complexion always suffers from
bllliousness or constipation. Unless
the bowels are kept open the Impuri

Little Early Risers keep the liver and

THE BIG BOSTON ST 0
Governor McBrlde, of Washington,
has sent Attorney-General Stratton to
Washington, D. C, to begin proceed
ings for the dissolution of the great
railroad merger. He is confident the
point on which Minnesota lost its
suit will not apply to Washington.
Attorney-General Stratton left Olyhi
pia last week ostensibly for Spokane,
but it now transpires he is en route
to the national capital on the mission
heretofore indicated. Washington
will have the co-operation of Minne
sota and Mantnna in the fight.

"Holt's Folly" is doomed to disap
pear at last. The famous old United
States hotel on Fulton street is short
ly to be torn down. The property
has been sold for $225,000 and will
give way to a.ten-story offlce and loft
building in the near future. It was
originally opened as Holt's hotel in
1S23, and the tall cupola was used as
a signal station for ships sighted at
Sandy Hook. The news of an incom
ing ship was flagged to the hotel by
way of Governor's Island.
