f one of the leading restaurants of the 1
ity. 'lIow do we do it?' Well, we do c
ot decline to feed them. This is a
lie way we get around the law. A col- a
red man comes in and takes a seat I
t the lunch counter. Ile calls for pork pj

ay our price?' ie Invariably answers, c
Nhat am the price ?' And we mention v

im the 'black' bill of fare,which reads (
omnething like this: 'Two boiled eggs, t
5 cents; pork chops, $1 ;lham and eggs, -i
41.50,' etc. Of course he (oes not order I
nd he never returns to that restaurant. i
'lie corresponding articles in the 'white'

ills of fare that I lost my job there. I
Lbsent-nindedly I gave a -white' bill I

ias allowed to eat. It could not be

his time he was given the 'black' bill

he same order he had the previoue
lay. But this time I gave him a check
or $1.75. Ile walked up to the cashier
nd plinked down a half dollar piece,
aying he would dtuplicate his order of
he day before and would pay the same
ate and no more. lie threw the half

One strange feature abot this t
vasioni of the law is that colored wait- i
rs are the most zealous in excluding (

t. nevvrtheless, the constant showers tt

vhilst they have benefited the cotton ont

BAD FOR UNCLE SAM.
A Case Involving Mlions Decided I
Agalnat the United States.
I'IILEDELPIA, I'A., June 19.-.The
jury in the suit of Meyer & Diekinson '
against the Government, to recover the s
excess of duties levied on the material C
used as hat trimmings, this morning
returned a verdict of $632.40 for the
plaintiff. The Government will appeal
from the verdict to the Supreme Court. r
By the verdict of thejury in this case
the Government in made liable for from t
$20,000,000 te $30,000,000 that it has col- a
lected in duties from importers of t:
millinery materials in various parts of f
the country. The suit of Meyer & y
Dickinson was a test .suit, and was in- t
tended to test the right of the Govern- c
ment to collect (uties on goods in t
dispute. Other pending suits are affect- t
ed by the verdict, and that is where the f
large amount of money and the great
interest taken by the importers comes 11
in. 6
The importers claim the goods in i
question to be hat trimmings, and to 2
be dutible at 20 per cent advalorem un- p
der the clause of the Act of March 3, t
1883, which provides for hats, etc, s
materials, braids, plaits, laces, trim- r
mings. willow, sheets and squares used a
for making ornamental hats, bonnets h
and goods composed of straw, chip, o
grass, palm-loaf, willow, hair, whale- p
bone, or any other substance or material s
not specially enumerated or provided ri
for. The Governtn et clatms that they ii
are dutible at 5 per cent ad valorem. a
under the clause of all goods wares and b
manufacture of silk, or of which the c
silk component material is the chief
value. 0
'The question arose by reason of the si
omission in the Act of March 3. 1883, of it
the word "vegetable" from the hat t]
material clause in the former Act, and ei
was first brought before (he Court in '
this jurisdiction on April 6, 1886. In h
the case of Langfeldt vs IIartranft, in n
which cotton-back ribbons were the h
articles before tho Court, it was C
decided by Judge McKennan that if p
the jury believed that the chief use (
to which the ribbonis were put was r(
for trimming lats, bonnets and hoods, tt
then it was subject to 20 per cent duty. bi
The jury found in favor of the plaintif, ti
andI Jdge McKennan's ruling was i
aillrmed by the Suprene Court. By this m
decision 6,000,000 were refunded to the t:
plaintilfl. Afterwards,intheNew York in
jurisdiction, a similar question was de- st
ideo in the case of Edelhloflf vs Collec- d
Lor, in which the articles imported were of
Lised as hat bands, and in th:at case also cc
'he decision was in favor of the im por- le;
.er, as its chief use was for trimming

tepublican Extravagauce Has Spent the
Last Cent.
WASHINOTON, ). C., June 18.-The
7reasurer's statement issued to-day
hows that the cash balence is $44,415.
00, of which S22,029,000 is on deposit
vith the national banks and $20,250,000
s in fractional silver, deducting which
tems the net cash ballence is but $I,
3o,000, which is the lowest figure yet
eached.
It is said that the Treasurer's state
nent to be issued to morrow will show
deficiency of $600,000 instead of the
sual net cash balance. This is the
irst time this has occurred since the
present form of statement was adopted
y Treasurer Jordan. In making this
alculation, however, no account is
aken of the 822,000,000 on deposit in
he national banks and the $20,000,000
ractional silver in the treasury.
The expenditures so far this month
ave been 88,188,824 In excess of the
ntire revenues of the Government dur
ag the same period, amounting to $18,
21,852. These were exceeded by the
ension payments alone, which amount
) S18,312 155. The treasury officials
ay that the expenditures during the
emainder of the month will he light,
ud that the receipts will be sufficfently
eavy to overcome the present excess
f expenditures and leave a small sur
lus for the month. The same officials
ty the treasurer's statement to-mor
:w will not include the receipts dur
ig the past two days, and that if it did
n actual surplus of $2,000,000 would
e shown, instead of an apparent dell
iency.
A meeting of the Cabinet will be held
n the 26th inst for the purpose of con
derating the financial situation, espec
,lly with reference to the extension of
ie 4% per cent loan,and the continu
. coinage of silver after the 1st prox.
hie President and Secretary Foster
ave arranged ta be in Washington
ext Thursday. Secretary Foster, in
is speech written for delivery at the
hio Republican State Convention,
)id particular attention to the silver
aestion, and made a special point in
gard to coinage, calling attention to
ke fact that after July 1 next it will
) discretionary with the Secretary of
ie Treasury whether the silver coinage
all be continued or not. A great
any suggestions have been offered to
te Secretary on this particular feature,
dicating a strong sentiment against
ispending the silver coinage on the
Lte named, and it is within the range
probability that the coinage will bo
ntinued ofter July 1 tor a while at
'Ist.
