THE INCOME TAX.
What Representative Hall Says of the
Feeling in His District.

After six weeks spent In his district, Rep
resentative Hall of Missouri, one Of those
interested in the income tax feature of the
tariff BILL is back and is giving his atten-
ton to the changes which the Senate
finance committee has wrought In the In
come tax.
Il have gone over the Senate bill care
fully" said Mr. Hall, "and l find that the
charges effected are Of detail and not of
substance. The Senators have recognized
the essential principle of the measure-that
men shall bear the tax burden according to
their wealth, with that recognized as a gov
eminent principle and policy.
THE main change made by the Senate is
in limiting its operations to i've years. All
income taxes are temporary when first en-
acted, but when once in force they become
permanent. Englands income tax vas tenn
porary at first, but Ii has been continued for
years. Germany and Italy mad the same
experience. So that we can feel confident
in accepting an income tax limited to five
years that II win be permanently engrafted
on our laws before its limit expires.
THE detail changes made by the Senate
have rather improved 1t. They have merely
polished Il up and every successive going
owe. of the bill will improve its details a
little. The change of the corporation tax,
from a per cent tax on dividends to per
cent on the profits over operating expenses.
Is an Improvement of language. but is no
change in substance. The exemption Of all
building and loan associations is little too
broad. | was i'll favor of an exemption to
such associations Going a business at home,
but not to big concerns doing an interstate
business. The latter are speculative corpor-
atoms and ought 10 be taxed, while the local
concerns secure homes for the laboring en-
and ought to be exempted.
Taken as a whole, however, the Senate
bill will be thoroughly satisfactory to the
friends of an income tax. | am absolutely
positive of its passage by Congress and its
incorporation on our law books; and | am
free to say that l will carry the contest
until the law is made permanent, and the
policy of the government is established that
wealth pays the tax burdens in proportion
to the protection IL receives

Senator Hill for Free Lead Ore

Senator Hill has notified Senator Dubois
that he intends to move to put lead ore on
the free list. and will attack the position of
the Senate finance committee in levying a
duty of three-fourths of a cent per pound
on that article. Senator Hill says that in
the last Congress the House overwheim-
ingly democratic. passed a bill for free lead
ore, and yet the Senate committee disre-
CARDS this and places duty upon the ore.
Some OF the members OF the finance COM
mittee in talking of the matter say they
know that the intention of the New York
Senator is TO place them I'm a position of
embarrassment. Senators Dubois and Tel
Ter consulted with the members OF the
finance committee. and assured them that
they would defend the duty lead ore.

The Concealed Orchestra

Although visitors to Baireuth this
year have complained that the ac-
compartments to "Lohengrin" have
often been almost inaudible, yet 1t
seems that the concealment OF the
band beneath the stage is not alto
gether without its advantages in
warm weather. 1t has this summer
been very hot at Baireuth, and Sig
nor Eugenio Pirani, the special cor
respondent OF the Milan La Per-
severanza, on going early one even
ing to see Herr Felix Mottl in his
own domain, found the eminent con-
ductor welding the baton in his shirt
sleeves, while good many OF the
band had likewise discarded their
coats. The invisible orchestra is OF
any rate popular with the perform
ers, who are not condemned to the
'starehcd shirt fronts and clawham-
mcr coats necessarily insisted upon
at Covent garden, and may, indeed,
wear boating costume if they prefer
1t. Among the recent visitors 10
Baircuth, by the way, have been Sig
nor Mascagni and Signor Lconca-
vallo. The latter is confirmed Wag-
nerite. London News.

The Glove Crop.

Said o New York importer to
representative of the New York
Tribune: '1t is reported that the
Zanzibar Glove crop will be fifty per
cent. short. Should this be true, it's
effect will be largely Offset by the
fact that the present stock held in
London is 56,822 bales, which is
enough to supply the American and
European demand for twelve months.
If, however, this stock, which is
strongly held by spectators, Is to
be depended upon for supplying the
world, higher prices must rule. The
American and European markets,
not including the London supply,
are bare of stock, and recent large
shipments from Bombay to China
indicate shat the East Indian stock
must now be small. a heavy de-
mand from Bombay will be necessary
to Offset this drainage, and past ex-
perience has shown that the Bombay
merchants will secure supplies direct
from Zanzibar at considerably higher
prices than Europeans are prepared
to pay.

AN EDUCATED TRAMP.
A Heidelberg Graduate, He Was Sent
to Jail for Vagrancy.

A Heidelberg Graduate, He Was Sent
to Jail for Vagrancy.
When the regular morning busi-
ness OF the police court docket was
finished ragged and exhausted
specimen OF humanity was brought
before Judge Mulholland on the
charge of being tramp. In reply.
to the usual questions the man
stated that his name was Robert.
LAM, thirty-six years of age, born
in Germany and lawyer by pro-
fession.
LAM was born in Berlin, Ger
many. His parents we're very
wealthy. He attended Heidelberg
university, and was graduated there.
Then he went to Freiberg, where he
studied law and received a diploma
in 1883. About four years ago he
started from Berlin on a tour around
the world for educational purposes
and pleasure only. He travelled over
Europe, and crossed into Asia,
passing through India, China,
Corea and Japan. He then went to
Hawaii, where he spent some time,
and in December, 1892, landed in
San Francisco.
LAM liked America, and admired
the American people. Last winter
he went to Chicago, where he re-
mained for some time. and there
met woman whom he loved, wooed
and married ebout a month ago. On
the very day on which he was mar
ried LAM discovered that his wife
was o bigamist. The blow almost
crazed him. He had furnished
dwelling, and be had money in the
house which he had provided for his
wife, but he never went back to 1t.
He had money enough in his pocket
to take him outside Of the city of
Chicago, and bis only desire was to
fee from his disgrace and disap-
pointment and get back to Ger
many.
The man has tramped from the
eastern boundary OF Illinois to
Lyons, this state. At Lyons
friendly German assisted him, and
he was able to buy a ticket for SYRIA
cuse. Justice Mulholland sentenced
him to thirty days in the peniten-
tiary, where be will be looked after.
LAM says that he speaks six
languages. He carries his diplomas
from Heidelberg, his marriage GER
tificate, and q photograph of his
wife, all in the same package. He
says that he should receive remit
tance from Germany on the nine
teenth OF this month. Life, he says,
has no charms for him, and money
can bring no pleasure:-Syracuse

+: FACED ABOUT QUICK.
Mrs. Skunk and Her Family on the
March In Single File.

An Auburn man who was riding
in the country q few days ago says
he saw crossing the road ahead. OF
his team an old mamma skunk WITH
five youngsters trailing behind ner
in single file. Ranks were closed
and tails dragged. The little COM
pany moved toward an unoccupied
building, and the old skunk disap-
peared through hole in the founda-
tion wall. But just as the young
ones were about to follow the Au-
burn man flung stone, and the
missile banged loudly against the
corner of the building. The nara
tor says that he has witnessed many
military evolutions by crack COM
panies, but never in his experience
did he see drill squad "'bout face,
'tention, present arms" with any
thing like the rapidity with which
that platoon of slSunks moved. They
whirled like one, stood in line, their
tails whisking up straight over their
backs. It was o moment full of
critical suspense, but the command
"Fire" was not issued. AS no enc
my presented Itself, they trailed
arms once moro and made a digni-
fed retreat, one after another, into
the hole of the wall, and the Auburn
man, who had already repented The
first stone, was glad that 1t was
so.-Lewiston (Me.) Journal.

STORIES TOLD BY OLD TREES.
Their Rings Tell Of Wei and Dry Sea-
sons Hundred Years Ago.

Their Rings Tell Of Wei and Dry Sea-
sons q Hundred Years Ago.
1t has been found that the rings
of growth visible in the trunks Of
trees have far more interesting
story to tell than has usually been
supposed. Everybody knows they
indicate the number of years that
the tree aas lived, says the New
York Advertiser, but J. Keuchler,
of Texas, has recently made expert
.ments and observations which seem
to show that trees carry In their
trunks record of the weather con-
ditions that have prevailed during
the successive years Of their growth.
Several trees, each more than one
hundred and thirty years old, were
felled, and the order and relative
width of the rings of growth in their
trunks were found to agree exactly.
This fact showed that all the trees
had experienced the same stimula-
tion in certain years and the same
retardation in other years. Assum-
ing that the most rapid growth had
occurred in wet years, and the least
rapid in dry years, it was concluded
that out of the one hundred and
thirty-four years covered by the life
Of the trees sixty had been very wet,
six extremely wet, eighteen wet,
seventeen average as to the supply
Of moisture, nineteen dry, eight very
dry and six extremely dry. But
when the records OF the rainfall, run
ming back as far as 1910, were con-
suited it was found that they did not
allagree with the record of the trees.
Still it could not be denied that the
rings in the trunks told true story
of the weather influences which had
affected the trees in successive years.
The conclusion was therefore reached
that the record of the rings con-
tanned more than O mere index of
the annual rainfall; that 1t showed
what the character of the seasons
had been as to sunshine, tempera-
ture, evaporation, regularity of the
supply of moisture and the like; in
short, that the trees contained in
delibly imprinted In their trunks
more than one hundred years of no
ture's history, history which we
might completely decipheri if we could
but look upon the face of nature from
s. trees point of view.

Senator Hills Love Affair.

l asked Senator David E. Hill if
he was ever in love.
He glanced at me quickly, his eyes
twinl1led for o moment, and then he
hid himself behind o newspaper and
said something about the question
being delicate one. And that is
all be would say on the subject.
It is my opinion that he was in
love once, very desperately, and that
something went wrong and he
vowed to love never again, to shut
out from his life all affection, and to
live for ambition solely. Thnt the
senator has been loved goes without
qustion; that he is loved have seen
proof in o woman's written declara-
tion, and that he would be loved if
he saw fit to pay court no one con
doubt.-N. Y. World.

received s1O,OOO,0OO on the death Of
their father, and have managed and
spent it tas they pleased. That they
have done 1t we'll is attested by the
fact that, despite their liberal phi
lanthropies, which in the case Of
Mrs. Shepard amounts to almost
continuous giving, the fortune Of
each has increased by fully s5,0OO,-
