Paris, Oct 26. M. DeLoncke. a
member of the budget committee of
tne chamber of depnties, said today
in an interview on a report in circula
tion that Germany, Austria and Italy
were forming a tariff union against
the United States, that France eould
only join such n combination in the
event ot Great Britain also entering

scheme would be futile for without

has been fired and lots ot mules
poisoned at Bock Springs, the big
coal camp of the Union Pacific The
company offers a reward ot 81,000 for
the prehension of the incendiaries
and is looking for the poisoner.
The 3,000 men at tho mines are
decidedly restless. They work less
than half the time owing to lack of
cars and tho shortage on the motive
power.
The mine the fire occurred in last
evening and threatened to destroy, is
of one of the finest properties in tho

A botuschjld as a photographer.
Baron Albert Kothschild of Vienna
is an enthusiastic photographer. A
short tnne ago ho was in the Tyrol
and had found a good point of view,
halt way nponeof the hills rising
above the valley ot Cortina di Ampez
zo. Accordingly he set to work to
arrange his apparatus ensconced iu
tho black velvet covering. When ho
emerged a fat couple stood before him
whose dialect showed them to be well-to-do
Berliners. The husband prom
ised he would pay the photographer
handsomely if lie consented to take
their portraits with the background of
Monte Cristallo or the Antelao for the
uncles and aunts at home. Baron
Bothsdvld. highly amused at the self
sufficient tone of his would-be pa
tron, said his apparatus was for land
scapes only; but this was pooh-poohed,
by the Berb'ner, who knew better, and
gave his name, adding that he was a
banker who could afford to pay for
caprices. Baron Bothschild, repress
ing his laughter when the fat lady
arranged her dress and put on her
sweet smile, took the portraits. They
prooved a success, and the Berlin
banker gave strict injunctions that he
must have at least four copies by
noon the next day, as he had fixed
his departure for that hour. The fol
lowing day one of Baron Bothschild s
servants took the photographs to the
Aqufla Nera hotel, where the baron's
autograph on the beautiful portraits
standing in bold relief against Monto
Cristallo created a sensation.

If children could have the revamp

bo a great deal more analogical and
consistent than it is. A little girl in a

told by the music teacher what

above the staff the teacher asked what
that was called, and the pupil replied:

Champion Hnrdler.
A. A. Jordan, champion hurdler of
America, and holder of tho American
record for running 120 yards over 3 feet
6 inch hurdles, says:
"I have for a great many years used
Allcock's Porous Plasters, partic
ularly during the training season. I
find that if I am affected in back or
loins with any kind of a pain or strain,
that Alixock's Porous Plasters In
stantly afford relief. For pains in the
body, the result of a severe cold, nothing
can beat Allcock's Piasters. I
would certainly recommend theplasters
to any athlete who is suffering with
soreness or stiffness while in training."
