IT is a very risky thing on tho part ot
the buyer to purchase goods of which he
or she is no expert Judge, from a store
that has more than one price, mid especial
ly so is this the case when tho article to
b bought is a Piano!! The best Judge in
the world cannot put its value upon It by
a good 0 oer cent, and yet It must bo said
jou will find" our smart IS!) men and wom
en doing thli very thing, "going it blind"
and steering themselves, or being steered
by a friend (?). who. after the sale, slips
ick for her "commish" (9 per cent) into
the so-called Piano or Tenderloin district,
where tho price she pays for her Piano de
pends altogether upon the estimate the
Mller puts upon the customer's Gullibility'!
Now, CRAWFORD'S keep an Immenso

AP.GHBISHOP ON
REPORTED RULINGS.
The Most Reverend J. J. Kain Says
Absolution, Not Confession, by
Telephone Is Invalid.
DISPENSATIONS BY TELEGRAPH.
Says the Holy Sec Does Not Un
conditionally Condemn, but Dis
favors Encouraging the
Latter Practice.
Archbishop John J. Kain of St. Louis,
discussing yesterday the published reports
of two rulings, said to have been made by
tho Holy Sto in regard to confession by
telephone, and the practice of obtaining
dispensations by telegraph, said that both
matters were of much Interest to Cath
olics, but that h .lid not think iron-clad
rulings had been made In Home, as Indi
cated In the i'iU'1 .uions
If llnal action has been taken by the
Holy Sec. providing for the possibility or
an extreme case arising where a penitent
might be conif elled as a Ian resort to con
fess over tho telephone, tho Archbishop
snja such a ruling would apply to tho
validity or Invalidity of absolution and not
of the conftsi-ion.
As to dispensation by telegraph or cable,
the Archbishop said that the church
frowned upon this practice; that ho had
received notice some time ago that appli
cations for dispensations by cable were un
welcome at Home, but that he was un
aware and inclined to disbelieve that this
method was specillcallj- condemned.
"I and other I rusts have often talked
about such a cmitlm-ency a-, a confession
by telephone. There Is no doubt that tho
confession could bo made In tnis manner,
but I do not think that the priest could
give absolution unless ho was present in
person. Still, in a case of life and death,
with the circumstances such that the rriest
could fully understand them over the tele
phone, absolution might be granted. It Is
this point that a ruling, if one was made,
would cover.
"During the Archbishops' convention re
cently at Washington. D. C, Cardinal Gib
bons and all of the Archbishops were of
ficially Informed of the attitudo of Rome
toward dispensations. It was not thx result
of a particular inquiry on mi part, but
of all the Archbishops. As I understand
it, granting of dispensations by wire is a
practice looked upon with disfavor by the
Holy See. But there was no ruling pro
hibiting it under any circumstances. At
the present tlmo I am empowered to grant
a dispensation by telegraph to parties who
apply through a priest of my archblshopric
But I should be very cautious in so do
ing, and should know all the circumstances
before acting. In the same waj I cuiild
ask a Olsi-ensaXlon of Cardinal Gibbons by
telegiaph, but would be compelled to ex
plain all details in the dispatch.
"I do not believe that the 'ruling' re
ferred to in tho newspapers Is other than
that I have spoken of. which came to us
through the Cardinal at tho convention."

gave a long hearing to-day to four promi

against the nlleged obnoxious enforcement
of the baggago regulations at the port of
Now York. The four ladles wer Mrs.
Hobson. Miss Gwynne, Mrs. Richard
Townsend and Miss Mabel Boardman.
Mrs. Hobson rend a number of letters
she had received, detailing the unpleasant
experience American lady travelers had
encountered in New- York on their return
fiom abroad. These letters alleged Insolent
treatment, overcharge of customs duties
and other .things. Mrs. Hobson said that
American ladles are accustomed to being
treated so well that they feel keenly their
treatment at New Y'ork on landing from
trips abroad.
Secretary Shaw said the Treasury De
partment and it3 ofllclals were compelled to
enforco the laws in somo manner and his
desire was to havo this done as satisfactori
ly as possible. He would see. too. that it
wns done. At the tame time, he recog
nized that American tiavelers abroad wsro
prono to buy foreign dresses. H said
that the lady who went abroad had as much
obligation to pay vV per cent duty 011 a
Worth gown as tho American woman who
remained at home and had to jurehase a
gown of the same make here. One was
in rnuch entitled to pay as another.
Ho then called attention to some of the
figures of tho department as to the evasion
of the oath of declaration. Ho said that
a number of the travelers who had signed
the petition to the President were examples
of this. One woman, who had come in tho
year before the present law3 were put into
evccutlon, had paid no duty on her repre
sentation that she had nothlnc dutiable.
The following year, under the new law,
she had made a declaration that she had
nothing dutiable, yet the inspectors had

Superintendent Wants Govern
ment to Improve Reservation
Plans Xew System of Baths.
Th- Itepubllo Bureau,
lita St. and Pennsylvania A.
Washington, l'eb. 12. Martin A. Elsele,
Superintendent of the Hot Springs Reserva
tion in Arkansas, In a. report to-day to the
Interior Department explained in detail the
necessity for the appropriation of Jls,2I2 for
improving the reservation.
The Superintendent states that there are
ii,iV feet of mountain road and that the
plan of construction is very much admired
by the public, but objection is made that the
roads ate too narrow. Being mountain
road, there are many points that pass steep
and dangerous declivities, which alarm the
occupants of vehicles passing each other at
these points. The turns are short and sharp
and need extending and widening to allow
large vehicles to pass each other in safety.
Mr. Kiselo recommends that these roads be
made twenty feet wide and estimates the
cost at J13.2I.O.
As to gutters to protect the roads from
washing, he thinks for the,prescnt it should
apply only to tho lower tier of roads which
wind through and encircle that part of tho
""' springs .Mountain wnich embraces with
lZe villi the rustic :mni.iriim. it chnttlil 1ia
made of cobblestones laid in cement mortar,
which would cost about Il.wA
It is estimated that $l,3t would cover the
expenses for the repair of the present sys
tem of foot walks and the construction of
some additional ones at points that suggest
their convenience and utility, especially on
West Mountain, where there are none and
where the splendid scmery would bo made
more accessiMc to pedestrians.
The retaining walls uncompleted and those
originally contemplated on the Hot Springs
Mountain, ispeclalh along the reservation
point, should be built, at an estimated cost
of 51.7M To repair tho present drainage
system and add to it at defective points
would cost JMC2.
The old bathhouse is to remain Intact, and
it is recommended that Individual baths to
the number of sixty, constructed after the
Roman system, bo installed. In this system
the tubs are on the level with the floor, are
of concrete and practically form a sjstem
of individual pools, and it is estimated that
$25,000 will sultico for this renovation.
The. Bet Remedy for Croup.
(From the Atchison (Kas.) Dally Globe.)
This is th season when tho woman who
knows the best remedies for croup Is in de
mand in every neighborhood. One of the
most terrible things in tho world Is to bs
awakened In the mldle of the night by a
whoop from one of the children. The croup
remedies aro almost as sure to be lost, in
caso of croup, as a revolver Is sure to be
lost In case of burglars. There used to be
an old-fashioned remedy for croup, known
as hive sirup and tolu. but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is better, and does not cost so
much It causes tho patient to "throw up
the phlegm" quicker, and gives relief In a
snorter time.

Tho attendance at the Catholic churches
of the city yesterday at the observance ot
Asli Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, was
very good. Mass was celebrated at differ
ent hours, according to the conditions

severaj pnests, mass wai celebrated at In
tervals from 5 to S a. m., and in soma
churches later.
In other churches one or two masses on
ly were celebrated. Where one mass only
was celebrated, tho time was regulated to
suit the convenience of the parishioners,
so that they could hear mass before going
to their places of business.
The blessltig of ashi-s and anointing the
foreheads of tho faithful with them preced
ed (lie mass. A ohort service vyas also held
in the evening. In the different churches, to
givi- thoc w ho could not attend the morn
ing srv Ice an opportunity of receiving the
ashes.
Thw noonday service at the old Cathedral
on Walnut street, near Third street, was
largely attended. The Reverend Eugere
Coj le, pastor of the church, mado a short
address, explaining the courso of service
proposed during the Lenten season. The
Franciscan father who li to conduct tho
service did not officiate jestcrday because
the time allotted for the address was taken
tip in anointing. Father Cojle was
assisted in tills office by the Rev
erend W. J. Taj lor. assistant pastor of
tho Cathedral. Nearlj- all piesent went for
ward to the communion rail to receive
the ashes.
Father Cojio suggested that, during tho
season of Lent, which, he said, is a time
of penance, the faithful make somo little
sacrifice, as refraining from indulging In
amusement. The service closed with ben
ediction and with the blessed sacrament.
Tho services begin al the Cathedral at 12.30
p. m. and close a little before 1 o'clock.

CLAIM CUBA MAKES
PROFITJH SUGAR.
Brief Presented to Ways and
Means Committee Invites That
Body to Make Trip to Island.
Washington, Feb 12. Chairman Payne to
day presented to tho Ways and Means Com,
mltteo a brief submitted by the American
beet-sugar interests and indorsed by cane
sugar Interests btatlng that recent hear
ings had sho.vn that sugar was now- being
made in Cuba at a prolit and asking that a
special oommlttee proceed to Cuba to In
vestigate the question of cost of produc
tion, profit, eto.
Mr. Payne explained to his colleagues that
yesterday he had denied the existence of
tuch a proposal for a trip to Cuba, as the
brief had not been signed by the cane-sugar
interests unUl tills morning. Representative.
Steele of Indiana asked If the Invitation
to go to Cuba included payment of ex
penses of the trip, to which Representa
tive Robertson of I.ouls!ana answered that
the expense item will bo included if neces
sary. The brlof sums up the hearing at consid
erable length and states that, if the testi
mony of the Government experts is correct,
then tho Military Governor of Cuba, Gen
eral Wood, "has been misinformed, and
sugar is now being manufactured and sold
in Cuba at a profit, so that there exists no
possible Justification for the reduction of the
present tariff on unrer.ncd sugar coming
from C-ba upon tho ground that the Cu
ban planters are now manufacturing sugar
at a losst"
Beyond receiving the brief, the committee
took no action on the Cuban reciprocity
subject.

SAMPSON MAY LIVE
SEVERAL MONTHS.
His Physician Sas the Rear Ad
miral Will Soon Resume Out-of-Uoors
Exercise.
Th npuMtr-Bureau.
Uth St. and renneyivania. Ave.
Washington. Feb. 12. "Admiral Sampson
stands a guod chance of living longer than
a great many peoplu who are walklpj; about
the street to-day." taid Doctor W. S.
Dixon, tho Admiral's phjsiclan, vvhen
questioned about the statu of the retired
naval commander's health.
"Ho has rallied from tho slight attack
of Indigestion which he had ths other day
and vvhen I was at the Admiral's house
this morning ho was preparing to drtss
and come downstairs. He corner down to
his meals with regularity and cats the samo
food of which the othir members of the
family partake. He is by no means a well
man. but the reports that he is In immi
nent danger of death ure unfounded. I ex
pect him to live for several months
"It is probable that he will take to out-of-door
exerciso again when tho ice thaws
from the streets and pavements sulhciently
to make walking sate. I expect if the
weather becomes flue that he will be able
to take u little exercise every day.
"I do not know from what quarter the
recent report that the Admiral was at the
point of death emanated. I noticed that
some of thu New York papers have had
him all but dead several times. It was
also reported that his phjslclan was to
constant attendance at his lxdside. This
was not true. I rarely visit him mure than
onco a day. He is generally in good spirits
v, -""ise, receives me osst of care."
.Mrs. Sampson is averse to siving out
news of the Admiral's condition. She savs
that sho does not bee that his statu of
health concerns tho general public.
It Is well known that for some time Ad
miral Sampson has been in a condition of
m.erita,1 and bhjslcal breakdown. He grows
slightly weaker from day to day. but tho
decline is so very gradual as to leal those
familiar with the case to believe that he
has perhaps a ear of life ahead of him.
