.GREENBACKS TAXED.
Financial Legislation of the
Present Congress.
BUT TWO ACTS REcoME LAWS.

attempts Made in Nearly Every Congress
since the War to Subject This Money to
Taxation-The Three Acts Authorizing
the Issue of Greenbacks-Much OF the
Money Lost or Destroyed.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The only
financial legislation accomplished by
this congress, except the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman act
and the passage of the seigniorage bill
which received the presidential veto, is
the bill to subject to state taxation, ma
,ional bank notes and United States
treasury notes, which passed the house
Tuesday with senate amendments.
Attempts have been made in nearly
every congress since the war to subject
these forms of money to taxation.
The bill provides that circulating
notes of national banking associations
and United States legal tender notes
and other notes and certificates of tht
United States payable on demand anG
circulating or intended to circulate as
currency shall not be exempt from tax
alton under the laws of any state OF
territory providing that taxation is
exercised at the same rate and in the
same manner as upon other property OF
money.
The three acts authorizing the issu-
ance of greenbacks each put in circula-
ton $50, 000, 900, but the total amount
was afterwards reduced to $346, 000,.
000-a figure that has remained perma-
nent, although much of the money has
been lost or destroyed. Each issuing
act declared the greenbacks exempt
from taxation by state or municipal au-
thority, as well as all other obligations
of the United States, and under this
law are the Sherman notes for the pur-
chase of bullion of $3.50, 900, 900, which
were issued under the act Of 1890. There
are, in round numbers, $500, 1000, 600 of
United States notes exempt from taxa
ton.
Against the bill it was argued that It
was an infringement upon the SOW
ereignity of the general government to
permit state and municipal authorities
to tax its monetary issues, but on the
other hand it was pointed out that the
states were not permitted to discrimin-
ate against any forms of money, and
that these greenbacks should be placed
on the same basis as gold and silver.

DR.. TALMAGE
May Preach Mt Madison Square Garden
When He Returns.

May Preach ut Madison Square Garden
When He Returns.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Rev. 7. De-
Witt Talmage is at present making a
tour of the world. 1t is possible that
when he returns he will preach in the
Madison Square Garden, this city.
Just as he was departing ON his trip, a
few months ago, the Brooklyn taber-
nacle was burned down. 1t is clear
that new house for preaching can not
be promptly erected in Brooklyn for
him. Meanwhile his friends are active
in developing some sort of plan by
which his voice may be heard when he
returns. Just now there is an effort on
foot to secure the Madison Square Gar
den. Many of the church people, how
ever, in the neighbOrhOod of Madison
Square Garden, through their minis
tiers, have protested against the coming
of DR.. Talmage as popular preacher to
the garden. They base their objections
on the ground THAT if he shall hold
forth mornings or afternoons Oh Sun
day he will attract many auditors who
would otherwise worship at other
churches, and, furthermore, that in this
way the treasures OF the churches
would be depleted.

PEARLS IN THE WABASH.
Jewels Worth $50 Washington
Mans Lucky Strike.

Mans Lucky Strike.
PERU, Ind, Aug. 10.-For a number
of years it has been known that pearls,
of small variety, existed in the Wa
bash river, but of such diminutive
size that they were generally accepted
as worthless. Three months ago Thomas
Blair Of Washington came to this city
with the intention of searching the
river in thorough manner, and has
demonstrated that they can be found,
and of equality that is worth searching
for. With a small boat and dredging
material Blair made the trip alone from
this city to Lafayette, 56'miles, the time
consumed being three months. He re-
turned from his trip Thursday.
The collection consists of 18 large
pearls, ranging in value from $15 to $50,
which it is thought will be largely in
creased III the eastern markets. He also
has a large number Of smaller ones,
many of them of pure quality, the
whole aggregating many hundreds of
dollars. The pearls are found i'll mussel
shells in the middle of the river. Blair
is practical man in the business, hay-
ing spent the best part of his life in dit
ferent pearl countries. He states that
the Wabash river gives better results
than any stream that he has ever
worked. Another trip will be made this
fall.

QUADRUPLE TRAGEDY.
A Lover Shoots His Sweetheart, Her Sister
and Mother and Himself.

and Mother and Himself.
Dies MONIES, Aug. 10.-The little vii
lage of Charlton, near here, Wednesday
morning was the scene of a horrible
tragedy. At 1920 o'clock w. D. Jen-
kins, night baggageman of the Burling-
ton road at that place, entered the home
of his betrothed, Miss Julia Murphy,
and after bitter quarrel drew re-
volver and shot her. He then turned
the pistol OH her sister, Miss Josie
Towns, and fired bullet into her, kill
ing her almost instantly.
Mrs. Murphy, mother Of the girl,
rushed into the room only to meet with
a bullet from the apparently insane
man. Her injury is such that the
physicians have little hope of her life.
jenkins then turned the weapon ON
himself and fired bullet into his brain.
He died an hour later. 1t is believed
that Mrs. Murphy. will recover. Jen-
kins had been drinking heavily for sew
eral days, and it is believed the murder
and suicide was the outcome of quar-
rel between himself and Miss Murphy
over his intoxicated condition. The
women were highly respected and in
good circumstances.

This Week.

are bright for final settlement of !
tariff in congress next week and the ont
look is that by tie close of this week the
rates under the proposed new tariff law

When the conferrees met Thursday
morning obstacles were encountered
that again cast gloom over the con-
ferrees, but an agreement was quickly
effected ON the matters in dispute, and
active work was begun on tho various
schedules and administrative features
of the bill
There were some bitches on these, the
house insisting on material reductions
on manufactures, but the indications
pointed to speedy agreement and COM
promise of these differences Senator
Jones expressed himself as very con-
tident of an early end of the struggle
between the two houses.
Sugar, it is understood, remains fixed
ON the 40 10 basis, iron ore free and du-

Senate.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1o.-The house
bill modifying and partly repeating the
revised statutes requiring proof of sub
sequent loyalty before pensions or bounty
lands are granted to Mexican war veter-
ans was discussed in the senate Thurs
day.
Mr.. Hill asked if the bill was to re-
move the last vestige of political disa-
bility against these veterans, and was
answered in the affirmative by Mr..
George.
Mr. Plat opposed the bill on the
ground that there were thousands of
these old claims, and suggested that as
Democrats complained of the present
pension list, this would be a good time
to call halt. The matter went over
without action.
The senate went into executive ses-
sion, and at ;45 p. m. adjourned.

Potato Blights.

l.. r. Jones of the Vermont station
furnishes this information concerning
potato blights:
Our potato vines are attacked by two
distinct blights. The early blight at
tacks earlier potatoes, spreading slowly
in July and August, causing premature
death of vines, but no rot. This late
blight attacks later potatoes in August
and September, spreading rapidly in
warm, moist weather, and is followed
by rot.
Both diseases can be checked by spray
ing with bordeaux mixture. On the
average on the last two years our yield
has been doubled by spraying. The total
cost for chemicals and labor is IS to $40
per acre. The strength of mixture we
recommend for general use is: Five
pounds blue vitriol, 8 pounds fresh
lime, SO gallons-one barrel water.
Slack the lime to form thin white
wash, dissolve the vitriol in another
vessel, strain both and mix thoroughly.
Apply in any way so as to thoroughly
cover the upner surfaces of the leaves.
