Fort Scott, July 8.—A jury of the most prominent business men of Fort Scott was just four minutes in finding one of tho state’s new liquor laws, passed as a result of Mrs. Nution’s crusade, unconstitutional.

New York, July 8.—Tho new Phil­ ippine tariff has received its finishing touches at tho war department, tho Washington correspondents reports, and it will bo sent by mail to Gov. Taft in a few days.

After that period tho old military customs rovonue law. fdtiuileil oil Spanish law, will forever coase. Tho now law is expoiled to produce annually $15,- 000,001) levenue for the support of the insular government and to redueo materially imports from all countries except the l nited States and Spain, particular attention being given to the protection of Philippine indus­ tries against rivals iu tho western Pacific and tho Indian ocean.

To obtain the facts in tho case 1 wrote to Mr. Whito tho Christian Seienco publication committco at Philadelphia, who sent me tho fol­ lowing statement. “It is said- Mrs. Birdsall has been attending tho Christian Scientist church iu tho Fuller building, on Eighteenth and Market streets. This is entirely incorrect. Mrs. Birdsall is not a Christian Scientist, has not been attending tho services meeting in tho Fuller building, and is not known to its members.” -T . R. Hinsdale.
