Mr.. William j. Free, of $40 Four and
a-half street, has n hen which is almost
too proud TO acknowledge the acquaint-
ance OF the proprietor Of the house. This
has only been the case for n short time.
This hen formerly was meek enough, but
to be the mother of n chicken the like of
which no other hen in Baltimore or any
other place could produce, overturned
her ideas of modest stiffness and humil
ity.
This hen, the property Of Mr.. Free, al
though she now holds herself aloof from
most hens, has among a newly Matched
brood a little chicken which has the let
tiers 40 X" plainly marked in black
on the top Of its head in down, with n
distinct space between them. The chick
en- is what is called part game;" the
balance is just plain chicken. 1t is
brown. with light colored wings.
The mother sat for three weeks on thir-
teen eggs, triumphantly Matched out ev-
cry one, and, of course, feels that liberal
principles have been abundantly reward
ed in having n chicken with its head all

SENATOR BECK DEATH

Wv SA@SAh 4 49,
The death Of Senator James B. Beck,
Of Kentucky is a distinct loss to the Demo
cratic party as well as the country at large.
Mr.. Beck was n hard headed, practical
and lAborious member OF the senate, As
in the case of Samuel j. Randall his
strong forte was statistic. Figures were
marrhalled by him with the most telling
force and the greatest accuracy. In tariff
debates and 10 the discussion of economic
questions he was the strongest man in the
sensts.
Nj. Beck was born in Dumfrie sshire,
Scotland. Feb Is, 1922, and emigrated to
this country when 10 years Of age. He
was graduated from Transylvania univer-
sity in 1916, and subsequently devoted his
entire attention to the practice OF law. In
1867 be was elected a member OF the
Fortieth congress and was reelected to the
three succeeding congresses. He then
declined to again accept the position and
vas elected to the United States senate,
his term commencing March 4, 1877. He
served continuously in hat body until the
day Of his death.

RnRDENS OF TIE TAYEN.

In response to an inquiry from a cor
respondent as to what class bears the bur
then Of taxation in America the Chicago
Herald replies: You should have asked
what classes bear the burden of taxation,
unless you arrange the people of this
country into two classes: l. Protested
manufacturers; ., other people. In that
ease the second class bears the burden Of
the ta1es-and by taxes we mean the
tariH-for the tariff is = tax in comparison
with which state and county taxes are
really insignificant A person is either
benefited or injured by the protective
tariff; there can be no middle ground, no
man that is neither benefited nor injured.
The man that works for the protected
manufacturer is not benefited, for his
wages are lower than those Of men work
ing in unprotected industries, ard his
expenses are Just as great; he has to pay
Just as much for his necessaries. OF
course the unprotected laborer is not
benefited; how can he be if be Is unpro
tected2 The same is true Of the unpro-
tected manufacturer. 1t is true also of
the farmer, who has to buy his necessar-
les at high American prices and sell at
low Liverpool and foreign prices. Pro
lection does him no good. The pro-
tected manufacturer, then, is the man
who gets the benefit of the tariff; other
people get no benefit from and are injured
by it-they bear the burden that enriches
the protected manufacturer. Classify
all the people in the country
as: l. The manufacturer. .. The
farmer; each is taxed alike. When it
comes to paying the tariff tax the manu-
iacturcr pays (say) 800 and the farmer
slOo. The total revenue, 5000. When
it comes to a division the manufacturer
gets his 800 back and gets also the farm
er's 400. The manufacturer is 500
ahead on the operation and the farmer
800 out. That isn't much Of a burden
on the manufacturer. Now, how many
people are included under our term PRO
tected manufacturer Not more than
2,000.0 600 by any conceivable stretch of
imagination; all the other people in this
country, then. bear the burden Of the
tax by which these few are enriched.
These many millions pay more than FIVE
times the amount of revenue that the
government collects Ss customs. On
such articles as glass, nails, leather. rub.
Der goods, zinc. paper. iron and steel
goods, cotton goods, coal, lumber, sal
fish, soaps. implements, agons anC
carriages. cutlery, household furniture
etc., the bounties paid the protectc,
manufacturers exceed the duties from te
to 100 times. So that when the govern
ment gets s240, 900, 900 in sto III
few protested manufacturers take 81, 200
900, 900 from the pockets of the unpro
tected and put it into their own pockets
The many bear all the burden; the few
reap all the benefit

The Georgia papers are fertile in won
derful stories. One of the latest is to the
effect that early in 1861 n young farmer
Of Bullock erected n house for himself
and bride. The kitchen was n log one,
with one OF the old fashioned hard clay
floors. He had built over n gopher hole,
and of course the hole was filled up and
the owner was forgotten. The .armer
went of tothe war, and when he came
back he found some charred timbers
which Sherman had left. The house was

The returns of the fatalities by the re-
cent group of tornadoes are not yet all in.
It is probable, indeed, that some persons
were killed in the thinly settled regions
Of northwestern Kentucky whose names
will never be known. 1t is possible, how
ever, to make a pretty accurate estimate
of the loss of life. In Louisville the num-
Der OF those killed outright n receiving
fatal injuries will not be far from 1870.
In other parts Of Kentucky 2O7 persons
were killed, TIE largest fatalities being
as follows: Clay, so; Glasgow, 80; Black
ford, 90; Pooltown, II; Kuttawa, IL;
Eddyville, II; Dixon, 8; Sebree, g. Ma
rion, Z, and Bremen, 9. In twelve other
towns 81 persons were killed. the total
for Kentucky being 327.
In Illinois SO persons were killed, the
largest fatalities being as follows: Shiloh,
10; Little Prairie, 0: Grand Tower, q;
Mount Vernon, 8; Vienna, 4; Poplar
Ridge, 4; Metropolis, 3, and Carbondale,
8. In Indiana % were killed, IS at Green
River and 4 at Evansville. In Tennessee
o were killed, 8 at Gallatin and 1 at Ro-
ana. The total is Ala, but it is probable
that in round numbers 500 lives We're
lost. 1t is almost impossible TO make an
accurate estimate OF the value of proper
ty destroyed, but it may be generally
stated as follows: Kentucky, 81, 900 900;
Illinois, $500, 900; Indiana, 1895 900; Ten
nessee, $3.50, 600. Chicago Tribune.
