American Economist, 81: The Brit
ish income tax system, which it seems
will shortly be in vogue in this country,
now amounts to fourteen cents IN every
five dollars Of income. 1t has just been
raised two cents SO as to provide that
free-trade country with S. ,750,00O more
of annual revenue, and it is found to be
the easiest method of raising the wind
among poverty stricken administrations.
In these free trade times of little work
and small pay such a direct tax on
wages of $3.50 per annum and over would
come hard upon the people.

Bill In the House Relating tn the
Equal Division of Offices.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-A bin has
just been introduced in the house
which, in case of passage, will equalize
the clerical and official force now COM
ing under civil service among all the
several states of the Union. The bill
is in the form Of an amendment to the
civil service law, and provides that the
heads OF departments shall report q list
of their employees to the president, to-
gether with the congressional districts
in which they are Bona ide residents,
It further provides that the president
shall direct that all future appointments
to the civil service shall be made from
the states and territories which are be-
low their quotas until the service shall
be equalized between all the states, ter
ritories and districts
by Congressional Districts.
Another clause Of the bill directs that
heads of departments shall furnish an
annual report to the president of the
employees, classified according to con-
g~ressional districts. with the aggregates
OF salaries, and that the equality be-
tween the districts in the amounts of
salaries paid shall be maintained as far
as possible consistent with the interests
of the service.
III this bill shall become a law there
will be a gradual change in the civil
service that will rectify the partiality
which has heretofore been shown In
favor of the states contiguous to the
national capital. More tnan one-half
of the employees in the civil service of
the country are from the Eastern states
con tiguous to Washington, Mary
land, Virginia and the District of Col
umbia alone probably have az many

There are people in every department
Lcredited to Minnesota and other far
Western states who e passed the
crest of the Allegheny mountains in
their lives. There are whole families,
including father, mother, IONS and
daughters. living here two Or three
generations past - families Of large
wealth-everx member Of which holds
some governmental place; and prob
ably credited to as many different
states as there are members in the fam
lily. The object of the bill is a right
eous one, and will serve to give deserv

West some little show at the full breas'
of the mother country. It is a good
idea t wean a few who have ''waxet

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Philip Hick-
born, the chief constructor OF the navy,
in his annual report to the secretary,
reports that good progress has been
made on vessels in course of construc-

WASHINGTON. Oct. 81.-The house

of Christopher Columbus has caused a
great sensation there. Our correspond
ent writes: The full length life size por-
trait was shown to me by Signor Gamma

from Count Aldobrandi at Bologna. The
whole. with 5the exception of the face
and hands, had been coarsely painted
over. This extraneous coat being re-

Spanish admiral was revealed.
The pose and coloring are very quiet;
the face Is that Of n man with hair just
turning gray; the eyesare blue, thoughtful
and even sad; the mouth is firmly cut,
and he wears a pointed, short blond beard
and mustache. On the tapering fingers
are three massive rings. The canvas is
of a peculiar twilled kind. Signor Can

for the authenticity of the picture. 1t is

During the Barnum & Bailey circus
parade Saturday morning a pretty Ital-
ian girl, Celeste Chiesa, appeared on one
of the floats as a Chinese woman. She
was dressed in rose cplored tights, and
very thin clothing covered the upper
part of her body. Celeste was only Is
years old. She was much pleased with
her exalted position and scattered smiles
all along the route until as the process
sion neared the close of its journey the
chill wind began to pierce her frail form.
She shivered like an aspen leaf. Return
ing to the Garden she complained of Sc
we're pains in her chest, but stuck brave
ly to her work and filled her part as a
ballet dancer in the spectacle of "Colum-
bus and the Discovery Of America"
She grew worse as the evening wore
on and was taken home by Tody Ham
ilton in hack to the humble apartments
at 228 Thompson street, where she
rOomed with several other members of
the troop. She suffered intensely dur
ing the night and died next day of pneu-
monia before physician could be sum-
moned. She came here three weeks ago
on the Paris with Kiralfy's corpsof dan

no friends in this city.-New York Ad-

Forbidden to Swear by a Chickens Head

Forbidden to Swear by Chickens Head.
The trial of William Walsh, charged
with robbery in the first degree, was be-
gun in the criminal court yesterday. The
defendant was represented by Ben Clark.
An amusing scene ensued when Clark
demanded that Jeu Hon zee, Chinese
interpreter, who was present to interpret
the Chinese witnesses, be sworn in the
Chinese fashion, and that the same rule
be pursued in regard to all the other wit
nesses. Judge Edmunds inquired what
was the Chinese oath, and Clark replied
that the head of a live chicken must be
cut off in the Chinaman's presence while
he uttered certain words, unintelligible
to the American ear, which signified that
he hoped he would be treated in the same
way if he told a lie while giving his tes-
timony. Humane Agent Holmes here
interposed and objected to any chicken
decapitation on the ground of cruelty.
Judge Edmunds stated that he could
think of no precedent in the law books
for such proceeding, and did not think
he would countenance it. Judge Ed
munds, after explaining to the China
men that they We're liable to be sent to
the penitentiary if they did not tell the
truth, allowed the trial to proceed.-St.
