respect of 81. .050. 900 bonds held by corpora
tion which had paid a tax on net earnings;
that to tax the income derived from the
bonds as net earnings, and then to tax the
bonds themselves is to impose double tax
alton, which is not permissible in the ab-
sence of express authority of law, the court
decides. however, that the tax upon net
earnings is not a tax upon property. but upon
the franchise of the corporation, and that,
therefore. the result OF taxing the net earn
fngs of companies owning the bonds ana
also the bonds would not be double taxation
The court decides, also, that the Common
wealth can collect tax under the act OF July

Billy Madden Thinks the Irish Champion
Will Do Better Next Time.
NEW YORK, March ls.-The news may as
tonish good many people, but the fact re-
mains that Billy Madden sticks to Peter
Maher, and wilItry to get another match for
the 1rishman. Said Madden tonight:
Il have had to take an awful scoring on
Maher, but 1 am not yet satisfied that my
critics know as much as do or as they think
they do. still believe that Peter Maher is
boxer capable of besting plenty of chaps
who aspire higher than their prayers COM
prehend. Peter is terribly sore now and 1
think the experience he had In New Orleans
has been good thing for him. Anyhow,
am willing, in the face of all hostile criti-
cism, to do something more for him. He has
promised to abide by my directions here
after, and | am going to take a chance. l
think You will hear from Maher yet"
A majority OF the sports who backed
Maher have been congratulating themselves
ever since tire Fitzsimmons mill that the
Irishman did not happen to put Fitz ont in
that first round when the New Zealander
was so nearly ruined OF his senses. and was
only saved by the ringing OF the gong.
"1f Maher had knocked him out with that
punch, they say, 1--WE would all have gone
broke on him when he met the next man,
whether that next was Sullivan or anybody
else. Forewarned was forearmed this trip,

TRYING FOR RAYMOND.
He May BE Signed To-Day Because Denny
Cannot Be Found.

He May BE Signed To-Day Because Denny
Cannot Be Found.
The management of the local ball club
have not heard from Jerry Denny and they
cannot discover where he is. They want a
man to take third base so as to use Farrell as
a utility man. Consequently they are now
dickering with Raymond. Henry H. Ray
mond, Manager Buckenberger says, will be
used as a general utility man when he is
signed, and he is ready to sign. He was
Captain of the Louisville, team when they
won the Association pennant.
The directorate know their own business
probably better than outsiders, but if Ray
mond turns out as good as Denny might he
will be star. The trouble always is here
that first intentions are swerved by outside
talk. A man like Anson always makes up
his mind to take man according to his i'm
pressions. He took Cliff Carroll and got q
winner although outsiders discarded him.
Who knows what Denny's qualifications
would be here this year? By all means give
Denny chance if terms can be made with
him

HALL AND FITzsIMMONs.
The Vanquisher of Maher Is Not Ready for
His Countryman.

NEW YORK, March ls.-[Speciol In reply
to Warden Lewis challenge on behalf of Jim
Hall, Bob Fitzsimmons said yesterday that
he would only meet Hall at 15s pounds,
which he added, 'fs four pounds above
middle-weight, and is all will give away. 1
am a middle-weight and do not intend to
fight out of my class. Moreover, the stake
of S., 900 is not enough. There must be sl0,00
a side when 1 meet Hall. But there is no use
in talking about it so long as catch weight is
mentioned. Beside. want to rest a while
before fighting again.
When Fitz's words were repeated to War
ren Lewis he remarked that Fitz was afraid
of Hall, and viii put forward any excuses
that came to mind to prevent meeting him.
He is inconsistent, though" continued
Lewis, "and his own statements convict
him. He wants to fight in his class, vet he
gave away ten pounds or more to Peter
Maher, the heavy-weight. He wants a stake
of SI0, 900 a side, and also wants rest, yet he
is quoted as being anxious to make a match
at once with Ted Pritchard for a purse.
That kind of talk is easily seen through and
think the public will easily see
through it."
Lewis did not take down his forfeit of
$1,000. Jimmy Carroll stated in the Hoffman
House on Thursday night that he would like
to match Fitzsimmons against Charley
Mitchell.

They Bother the People and Not the Hen
roosts at Huntingdon.
HUNTINGDON, March 1s.-John Martin was
in town to-day to collect the bounty on wild
cats recently killed by him on Stone Noun
tain, north of this place. He reports an
enormous increase in the number of these
animals in that part of the county, and he
and his neighbors have turned trappers and
are otherwise endeavoring to exterminate
them, or at least to diminish their depreda-
tioEs on poultry and domestic animals on
the farms along the mountain and in the
valley. Many of the farmers there have
been unable to keep fowls during the past
winter, and even sheep, pigs and calves have
been attacked and destroyed.
1t has been impossible to put these mid.
night prowlers out of the way fast enough
with traps and by shooting them, and
poisoned meat has been scattered on the
mountain side and many of them killed in
that way. The bounty and the price that
can be obtained for the skin amount to
about 81, and this revenue partly reinl-
burses the farmers for the destruction COM
mitted by the ravenous beasts in their
nightly raids. An increase in theic number
and boldness is reported from other parts of
the county. To-day one was captcred alive
by Martin and brought to town.

AL forms of headache are Of q nervous

Debility, malaria, and to cure such cases It
fs absolutely necessary to use DIR. Greene's
Nervura. The Grip also, which has been so
prevalent, causes more headache and leaves
the nerves of the head in a more weakened
and diseased condition than any other
known affection. This condition should nere'
be neglected. Many persons who suffer from
headache have, by repeated failures to find
relief, despaired of cure. To such we would
say, by all means secure bottle of this won

A Mythical Colonel Has q Big Boom in
Blair County for Congress-
HoLLIDAYsBURG, March 1s-[Specia,. 1.-The
heat of the present political strife in Blair
county has been greatly relieved by the
running of a series of letters in all Altoona
paper, espousing the cause of Colonel Eras-
tus Briggs for Congress. The unknown cor
respondent styles himself "The Rambler"
and his letters are modelled after the his
toric Junius contributions. The special vir-
tues of the several candidates before the
people are embodied in this Mr.. Briggs, and
interviews with prominent politicians of the
county, favoring his candidacy, are printed.
Now, the truth of the matter is that "Col-
onel Briggs" is a mythical parsonage, and
the joke has been rather carried too far by
the issuing of regular tickets, with his name
heading the list, which have been scattered
at ever polling place; The primaries occur
lican ticket. headed by }. D. Hicks, OF Al
toona, will easily win out, it is also quite as
certain that many of the farmers will vote
for that ideal parsonage, Colonel Briggs.

One of the Most Successful Dog Exhibi-
tions Ever Held in Pittsburg Closes.
The dog show is ended and its termination
winds up the best dog show ever held in
Western Pennsylvania. The attendance has
been larger and the quality of dogs better
than ever seen in Pittsburg In the history of
local dog shows.
1t is pleasing to know that some of the
most prominent winners were local compet-
itors. John Moorhead, with his Streatham
Monarch, won no less than five prizes The
dog is beyond doubt one of the best bull ter
Iiers in the world and George Raper says So
John Carson also came in for glory>among
the bull terriers, and his Billy Bulger, bred
by J. c. Mailer. of this city, is one of the
finest young dogs ever shown here. In
short, all the local dogs were good.
The management deserve all credit pos
sible. That veteran of Judges Mr. David
son, said last night that he had never seen q
better managed show. The success OF the
present show, or the show that ended last
evening makes it certain that Pittsburg will
be a competitor for the best show in Amer
ica shortly.
Almost all the dogs were taken from the
city last evening. some were sold here and
will remain in the city.

influence, especially in the country districts
where the army vote is strong, and many
