THE DIRECT TAX.
In All Probability Citizens Who Gave to

TIC WI EtpaIu.
WASHINGTON, March Silt looks
now as though the states in which the
tax was paid direct to the government
need not worry themselves about
what they shall do with
the direct taxes when they are
refunded. Treasury department au-
thorities announce that they have full
record of every individual who paid the
tax to government officers and the
amount paid, and that a plan will be
found by which each state can obtain
full list of its citizens who paid the tax
and the amount by each one. 1t is
probable this may lead to similar action
in cases where states advanced money
and collected tax from citizens.

was the washing of the feet
of twelve boys from the

of the example of humility set by the
Savior in washing the feet of his disci-
pies. Archbishop Kenrick is s. years of
age and his appearance in itself lent re-
ligious sentiment to the scene. The
arch bishop was attired in the ordinary
sanctuary robes. In the church the
deacon sang the part of the Gospel per
tanning to the washing of the feet of
disciples by Christ. In the sanctuary
had been erected a platform ON which
were ranged twelve boys from the
orphans home, Upon the conclu-
sion of the Gospel the archbishop
laid aside his crosier, removed
his cape and approached the orphans,
whose bare feet dangled from where
they sat. An assistant held the basin
and the archbishop washed, wiped and
kissed the feet OF the boys. Then the
simple but touching ceremony was con
