CELEBRATING THE FOURTH or JULY

Il "
Several of the cities of this State have de-
| termincd to let their patriotic JOY be unccn-
fined on the coming Fourth of July. They do
not however, express themselves in that way,
but with one accord they are saying, as we
learn from their newspapers We must nave
an old fashioned Fourth this year" These
cities are to be congratulated. and 1t Is 10 be
hoped that the example which they have set
will be followed by all their sister cities and
by the rest of our great Commonwealth urban

WHAT AZ INCOME TAX WOrLD YIELD
Since 80 much is said about the income tax,
and since it is by many regarded as an avail
able resource for raising all money required for
pensions payments, it may be well to submit
few facts about the matter. Something Is
known of the results Of an income tax in this
country. in the sixties this tax was imposed
with a strong patriotic sentiment to support it
as necessary, and with the whole power Of a
vast army of Government employees TO enforce
It's collection. There is reason to doubt whether
any similar tax could now be collected as fully
under circumstances altogether less favorable.
a tax of 10 per cent on all incomes over
80, 900 yearly yielded about S34 600. 600. and
was paid by about 80, people, so that the
aggregate Of such yearly incomes was about
s34O. 900, 900. In the previous year the num-
Der paying the tax at this rate was smaller,
somewhere between 80, 900 and 10000 In
another year the aggregate OF incomes over
$40. 900 each was one hundred and eighty
seven millions, and the aggregate Of incomes
between $500 and $40, 900 each was about
three hundred and twenty three millions. As
the aggregate value of property in the United
States was then about fifteen thousand mill
ions. and the current rate Of interest," then in
dictated profits averaging not far from per
cent, it may be roughly estimated that the
aggregate of all incomes was more than nine
hundred millions, Of which about five hundred
and twenty-One millions was the sum OF in
comes ranging from $500 to $1,000 each year
ly, about iOne hundred and fifty three millions
of incomes from $1,000 TO $4,000 each.
and about one hundred and eighty seven mill
ions of incomes over $4,000 each. The fig
ures serve to give only an approximate idea
Of results in different years, but cast some light
on the probable results of such taxes as dre
now proposed.
The aggregate valuation of property has in
creased to about sixty-five thousand millions.
but the current rate of interest shows that
the average returns from property are much
lower than they were thirty years ago. and
probably the average for all kinds of property
is not much above 3 per cent. At this rate
the annual income would be in the aggregate
not far from two thousand millions yearly and
of this more than half would be exempt il in
comes of not over $1,000 each should be un-
taxed, and not far from three quarters if in.

WHAT TO DO WITH ST. JOHNLIND.

Mayor Body recently expressed the opinion
that the establishment of a county farm If
ST. JOhnland, l.. l., by the county Of Kings was
gigantic blunder As the result of visit
which he paid last week to the St. Johnland
institution he is now convinced that the county
ought to sell ont speedily possible. II is
certain that no one can regard the result of
the experiment begun on Long Island several
years ago with anything approaching salts
faction. In establishing what is known in
Brooklyn as st. Johnand Mr.. Seth Low. Mr.
Ripley Ropes and other citizens deeply inter
ested in the lettering of the charitable insti-
tutlons OF Kings County took warm intrcst
and Mr. Low has lately declared that on alb
.trad principles the plan was a Thoroughly
good one. There is no doubt on this point
The trouble has been from the beginning that
the politicians got their hooks" in, ard the
county farm project has been an unceasiny
source OF jobbery, extravaganza, scandal and
corruption. The Board of Supervisors had con-
troll Of 1t IN part; the Commissioners of Char
tiles had control of it in part and the result
has been what always follows from division

Of the cruiser Newly DIRK is borne ont by the
report of the Naval Board that conducted the
recent test of the new warship, which was
given out by Secretary Herbert yesterday. Her
speed, as already stated, was II knots, and
the action of the vessel in all respects was
eminently satisfactory, while her equipment,
strength, seawothiness, etc, leave little, if
anything to be desired. All Americans must
take renewed pride in our new Navy when it

THE WISE GIRL,
And How She Arranges for Comfort In n
Sleeping Car.

ana HOW SHe ArrAnEeS Tor Comfort In n
Sleeping Car.
The wise girl knows that nothing is
quite 50 desirable for wear in the sleep
ing car as a wrapper of dark-colored
flannel. 1t may be stated as a positive
fact that women who try to make
themselves look coquetish in a sleeping
car, and wear elaborate nerlires
or lace-trimmed wrappers, show ex-
tremely bad taste. Experience has
taught that a wrapper of soft
flannel in stripes Of black and
blue, made in the simplest fash
ion, is most useful. When she
is ready to go to bed, and the
porter arranges her berth for her. she
goes to the toilet-room, taking with
her her shawl-strapped package. She
removes her shoes and stockings, puts
on the knitted slippers that she has
taken out of her bag, gar
ments which she pIeases, and assuming
her wrapper, which has been folded in
her shawl strap, repairs to her berth.
After fastening the buttons of the cur
tains, She disposes of her clothing as
best she can, folding each article
smoothly and carefully, and placing
her money, watch and tickets in her
wrapper pocket. And then she should
try to rest the porter will call
her IN good season, and her ticket
will not be asked for during the
night. In her shawl strap, which
shows as its outer wrapping a
shawl or travelling rug, she NAV
nave her w pillow if she desires il.
But this is not a necessity, as the cars
are supplied with linen that is usually
fresh and clean. In the morning the
wise girl will put on her stockings and
shoes in bed, leaving the lacing or but
toning Of them till later. Then she
will assume her other garments and re-
pair to the toilet-room, where she
should as expeditiously as possible
make herself neat, trim and fresh. that,
her friends who are to meet her NAV
not lind her dusty nor travel-stained.
This she should do quickly, that She
may not be classed among the women

After all hat pen and pencil had done

not one-half had been told me. The
great White City which rose before me,
silent and awful, seemed to belong to
an order of things above our common

human speech by the voice of some

beauty which blended the memory q

the architectural imagination. The
wildness of the day lent its own
apocalyptic setting to the scene. A
swaying, drifting curtain of cloud shut
in the horizon, blurring lake and sky
on the one side in an indistinguishable
haze, and IN the other shrouding the
city in a gloom of smoke and rain.
Ever and again the towers of the fair
