WHITE CONCENTRATED Broth FRoA

WHITE CONCENTRATED BROTH FROM
PoULTRy.-PIace in a proper vessel two
fat fowls (tru sedD, with knuckle of
veal, weighing about three pounds. Fill
the vessel three-quarters full with good
beef stock broth, and cause it to boil at
a gentle heat. Then skim the broth, and
put in two carrots, a turnip, an onios, a
few leeks, and some celery, but do not
add any salt, as the bullion has been al.
ready salted. Boil the whole gently for
five hours, then skim it, and remove the
meat and vegetables. The broth should
afterwards be strained through fine
sieve, This broth is very useful for
white soups and in preparing other
dishes. Glaze is made in the same way,
except that in this case only n small guam
tity of beef stock should be used; the
smaller the amount of liquor employed,
the greater being the consistency of the
glaze. Great care should be taken to.
wards the end Of the process, that the
glaze may not be injured by the heat
used in its preparation.

THE BLESSING OF STEAM PowER.--
The aggregate steam-power in use
in the world is at present three and one.
half millions horsepower employed in
stationary engines, and ten millions
horsepower in locomotive engines.
This force is maintained without the
consumption of animal food, except by
the miners who dig the Goals, and the
force maintained in their muscles is to
the force generated by the product OF
their labor about to 1880. This steam
power is equal to the working force of
25 millions of horses, and one horse con.
sumes three times as much food as one
man. The steam-power, therefore, is
equivalent to the saving of food for 70
millions of human beings. Further,
three powcr-looms, attended by one man,
produce 7S pieces of cotton fabric,
against four pieces produced by one
hand.loom, worked by one man in the
year 1900. A carpenters planning ma
chine does the work of seventy men.

rived from Wrangle and Sitka. The

menced again as soon as she left. Large
numbers were seen assembled in war
paint. The Indians are destroying many
government and other buildilgs which
are empty, and the people are not strong
enough TO prevent il. The quarts lodes
at Sitka prospect well, but as yetno bona
fide effort TO deyelope them has been
made. Mr.. Dennis, U. S. Custom House
officer at Wrangel, has made raid on the
Hootznoo whisky makers, both Indians

CHICAGO, January 2l.-About five
hundred tailors, coat, vest and pants-ma-
kers, Of this city, belonging to the or
ganiratlon known as the Tailors' Union,
quit work this morning. Tho demands
Of the tailors are for an increase OF from
25 10 40 per cent on the wages they are
now receiving. The representation made
ia that the prices for making clothing in
the different lines have been reduced
time after time till figures had been
reached at which the tailor found IL
impossible TO sew. They accordingly
demanded S3 so for making fine frock
coat, or 81 more than the old price;
iiIty Eve cents instead Of forty Eve cents
for fine vests, and proportionate increases
all round. The situation, as stated BY
one Of the merchants, was this: Most oi
the wholesale stores have large stocks
left over on account OF the weather.
There being but very limited demand
for goods, the price Of the manufacture
Of the same had to be cut down, in order
that there might be anything at all done
in the line OF clothing.

the commonwealth Of Massachusetts" J"
A committee OF the Legislature OF that
State has recently had the question OF
amending this law under consideration.
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, OF Boston, made a
very able argument before the committee,
which has Just been published. He
claims that the certificate Of stock signi-
Ges the possession Of property, in the
same manne. as q deed, and is not itself
property. For instance, he says, q man
owning half cotton factory in Maine
snd holding the title-deed in Boston, can
not be assessed 10 that city; but another
man, owning one-half the capital stock
in corporation owning precisely similar
property in Maine. may be taxed in Bos-
ton upon his certificate OF stock, which Is
inst such evidence OF ownership rs the
deed In the other case. The right 10 tax
based upon protection TO the property Is
In Maine alone. II the deed and certifi.
cate were destroyed, neither party would
lose his property or his rights.
Said Mr.. Atkinson:
Your assessor applies torture; no dooms him 10
pay 4 sum OF money LANCER and larger each year,
until, as one assessor rightly termed II, "the VIC
,im SlueAls" ln other words, under the thumb
screw Of the doomhnAn, dlsclosel that he owns
500, ,OO1 In Maine corporation. The as
sessor next fines him for owning such property,
and, on the average, tue hno would 10 u $50.
Then II he, having no property under The domln-
Ion Of Massachusetts, refuses 10 or cannot draw on
his quad trustees for the amount Of the iue, you
clap him IN jalL
Then the assessor vlits tile man who holds his
properly by deed. Do they apply torture or do,m
him for the crime Of owning property 10 another
StSteT oh. no. He phoWl his deed, and they At
once nay 10 him. "Y0ur real estate Is not under our
Jurisdiction; We cAnuot tax you; not uyen on In
come II you earned no income that year."
The argument is a highly condensed
and iorcible statement OF facts, and oi de.
cisions in courts OF the United States
which bear adversely upon the Massa-
chnsetts practice.
There has been introduced into the
Senate Of this State n bill, which has been
reported iavorably by the Finance Com
mittee, that is Of interest in this connec.
tion. It amends q section Of the Re 'ised
Statutes so that it shall read as follows

or corporations, tHeHdH1 boNdI and Hor9dgst, no.ei

bic 10 taxation, &c.
The words IN italic embrace the amend
ment to the present statute. II the prin.
ciple involved in this amendment is TO be
ingraited upon the statutes Of this State,
It should be stated in terms SO explicit as
to avoid confusion and resulting litiga.

street is agitated over the troubles effect
ing the houses in the morocco trade. Thl
principal house in the trouble Is E. & c
Stokes, importers Of hides and skins
Mr.. Stokes says that the firm would de
eide to-day on what course they wonlt
take. The firm attributes their embar
rassment to the failure Of George w
Hummell 4 Co., who were unable t
meet their obligations and relied on Z. 4
@. Stokes TO meet them for them. Thil
firm Is indebted to E. & @. Stokes for .oyei
100000.
The following houses are also reported
insolvent: John Deemer & Son, 500, 900

Edward Evans & Co., $4,000; G. Book
ings, SO, 900; ]. G. Baker Manufacturing
Company, Of Wilmington, $4,000.
E. & @. Stokes & Co. are creditors fol
about three.fourths OF all the liabilities
OF the above named firms. They decline
TO state the amount OF their own liabili.
ties, but claim to hold the paper Of other
morocco firms to the amount oi from
100000 to Ss00,00O.
Ellis Stokes states that his firm has
been keeping other firms going for years,
and were crippling themselves trying TO
accommodate them. We had, he said, to
push them at last, and the result is the
failure Of our annual business, which will
probably amount to 81 ,000,0 900. We shall

cations from one to the other, and ] would

George w. Hummel, OF Hummel & Co.,
denies that their failure 10 pay their notes

OF the trouble was the failrre OF E. & G.
Stokes to take up their notes as accom-
paper. He further says that

IN nnrstion oi Tnxntion.

Ollate there has been TIRED up in our
midst new phase Of interest in the ques.
tion Of taxation, viz: the status Of parties
who, residing in this city, own stock IN
the various manufacturing industries on
the other side Of the river. For instance,
there arc number Of persons here who
own stock in the Bellairc Nail Works, and
in the various Glass factories down there;
Others again who own stock in the La
Belle Glass Works at Bridgeport, and in
the Iron Mill at Etnaville, and in va
rious concerns at Martins Ferry and
Steubenyille, besides stockholders in the
Cleveland & Pittsburgh Railroad and in
the Central Ohio road. What is
the status Of these stockholders as re.
CARDS double taxation2 Their various
interests are taxed where they are situa.
ted, by the State, county and municipali-
ties, and to all these they pay tribute out
OF the treasury Of each concern. Under
our law they are again taxed on this side
Of the river. The certificates OF stock
Are personal property, and as such taxa
bic in the hands OF the holder regardless
of the fact that the property itself has
paid tax on the other side. This law is
complained OF as embodying the principle
Of double taxation. The question is ask
ell, why not tax mans farm twice after
the same fashion, once on the Ohio aide
and again on this side?
A curious phase Of the question is pre-.
sented by the fact that II the property on
the other side is held in partnership and
not under an act Of incorporation as
stock, it is not taxable on this side. Thus
sseen the difference between owning the
same property as partners and as stock
holders.
This phase Of taxation is not peculiar
to our West Virginia laws, but obtains
inohio and several other States. 1t was
discussed not long ago by correspond
ent Of the New York World. Inasmuch
as there is at this time considerable local
interest felt in the subject, we subjoir
the communication to the IPorlA, as fol-
lows:
The right to tax the stocks Of foreign
corporations, or corporations organized
under the Laws Of other States, Is one
which had been exercised here New
York; until 1875. The courts have
decided that such assessments were
illegal, and the result has beer
10 strike many millions Of such
property from the rolls. The question
reached the courts here in the case OF the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company, where
it was decided that the company could
not he taxed upon the stock Il owned in
corporation IN California, and in the
case Of Trowbridge, administrator, the
question arose on the stocks Of various
railroad and coal companies. In this
ease the Court held that "the stock Cerli-
fcates are not themselves the property,
but are evidences Of the rights 10 be pos
sessed, enjoyed and enforced under and
In conformity with the laws Of the State
which created the body corporate" The
general ground was that the property
