INCOME TAX REGULATIONS.
The RumOrs Caused by the Delay in
Their Publication.

The regulations for the enforcement OF
the income tax provisions of the tariff are
now awaiting the Presidents approval be-
fore PRONUNCIATION. They were prepared
by the commissioner of internal revenue,
who is charged with the duty of supervis-
ing the collection, and contain altogether
about $4,000 words. They are most COM
prehensive in character and are supposed
to cover all possible contingencies. Secre-
tary Carlisle and Commissioner Miller had
a conference with the President on the
subject yesterday afternoon. The rules
have been ready several days and the off,
Gals of the Treasury Department are
known to desire their speedy issue in order
that the internal revenue collectors may
have time to prepare for their enforce
ment. 1t was expected that they would
be issued early this week and the delay in
their publication has given rise to all sorts
of speculations. 1t is asserted by some
persons that they are being held back until
after Congress makes appropriation for
their enforcement on the theory that the
knowledge of their radical and inquisitorial
character might possibly prevent the pas
sage of the appropriation bill

WELCOMED HOME.
A Reception rendered IN Old an
Valued Pastor.

The Ministers Union of Washington hon.
ored its retiring president. the venerable
DR.. Alexander Crummell. with a reception
last night at the Metropolitan African
Methodist Episcopal Church, and the vast
auditorium was crowded to it's capacity
with representative colored people, who de-
sired to show their esteem for the popular
preacher. The services were commenced
with prayer, and Rev. DR.. J. II. Jenifer,
pastor of the Metropolitan. then delivered
an address to DR., Crummell on behalf of
the colored people of the District. He dwelt
upon the services rendered by DR.. Crum-
nell to the cause of Christianity and the
neyer-tiring zeal and energy he had ever
displayed in behalf of making the world
better. He alluded to the fact that min
listers and laymen of all denominat tons had
Joined in the tribute, which meant that
Christianity was greater than "ChUrchian-
ity' and Christ was greater than creed.
DIR. Crummell then made an address upon
bis fifty years service as a priest of the
Protestant Episcopal church and reviewed
MS extended career and the many obstacles
OF prejudice and hatred he had to over
come In graphic manner. Mr.. Frederick
douglass followed with fervent tribute
to DR.. Crunmells service in behalf of his
church and race, and the congregation then
came forward and shook hands with the
guest of the evening. At the conclusion of
the services a collation. was served in the
lecture room.

t'7 Maggie Clark.


Last night there was some excitement
In Trinidad. caused by the upsetting of
lamp in the house OF Mrs. Maggie Clark.
No. 1927 18th street, which resulted in the
death of Mrs. Clark. The affair happened
about $50 o'clock and was the result of an
accident, one of Mrs. Clarks children, who
had been playing on the floor, upsetting
the lamp in It's mothers lap. Mrs. Clark
was seated at the sewing machine at the
time and her four children were playing
about her on the floor. 1t was getting late
for them to be up, and she called to them
that they had better get ready to go to
bed. When one of them got up he acct
dentally struck against the sewing ma
chine and knocked the lamp over. 1t fell
In Mrs Clark's lap and in an instant the
spilled oil was in a blaze and the woman
was frightfully burned about her waist
In endeavoring to extinguish the flames
her hands were terribly burned, and she
also inhaled the blaze to such an extent
as to render recovery impossible.
Two neighbors who were passing the
house at the time rushed In and rendered
what assistance they could. They removed
the sufferer to the house of Mrs. Stewart,
neighbor, and there DIR. j. j. Nc Alster
attended her. She lived until after 2
O'Clock this morning, when death ended her
suferngs.
Deputy Coroner Glazebrook investigated
the case this afternoon. Mrs. Clark's chill
dren We're slightly burned.

FOR PURE MILK.
Carefully Prepared Draft of n BILL
Sent to Congress-.

The Commissioners today transmitted to
Congress, with their recommendation for
early enactment, a draft of bill to regu-
late the sale of milk in the District of Co
lumbia. The bill is designed. so the Com
missioners say, to furnish legislation, the
lack of which precludes successful effort
on the part or the District authorities to
secure a pure, healthful and nutrient milk
supply in the District.
The bill has been in course of prepare
ton by the Commissioners for several
months and has received the approval of
the medical society, the health officer, and
the attorney for the District. and the full
Endorsement of the chiefs of the bureau
of animal industry of the Department of
Agriculture. WHO have given it their criti-
cal consideration and revision. The i'm
pOrtanCe OF this bill, the Commissioners
say, in the interest of the public health
