offer our congratulations. -"

Suiting the action to the word and
without pausinx TO reflect that there
were two Messrs. Smith. she started post
haste for the desk of the chief of divi-
sion. He was buried mp to his ears in
work and did not notice her approach
till in her gentle little voice she said:
PLEASE accept my cong ratulations.
Mr.. Smith,
Chief Smith is kindly man. His
friends of the other sex had been inter-
rupting his work all the morning with
wishes for happy new year, and in his
absorption he had fallen into stereo-
typed way of answering without half
hearing the remark or noticing its form.
So when he heard Miss Jones light
treble saying something indicative of
good wishes he merely raised his eyes
mechanically and responded with an
absent air:
Thank you, Miss Jones. The same
TO you!"
Miss Jones gave little gasp and at
tempted TO stammer out something ex-
planatory of which nothing was audible
to the clerks sitting around except the
words little stranger. Still the chief,
his mind full of his work, missed the
entire purport of her speech. All he
observed was that the dear little lady
had not left her place at his side, and
thinking that possibly he had not spo-
ken distinctly enough the first time he
repeated in louder tone:
THE same TO you, Miss Junes-and
many of them.'
This was too much both for Miss
Jones, who retreated to her room, blush
ing like a peony, and for the surround
ing clerks. who roared till the Office
fairly shook. Ever since Jan. 9 it has
been noticed that Miss Jones conducts
her business with Chief Smith s division

Rendering Gas Burner. Safer.

Electricity has not yet displaced gas
altogether as an illuminant. nor will
il do SO for a long while yet. A large
number of people. therefore, continue
to have practical interest in gas burn
ers. An attachment for such devices
has recently been patented by Benjamin
F. Field of Los Angeles, designed to
serve a good purpose. One occasionally
hears of partial or complete suffocation
from carelessness in extinguishing gas
lights in sleeping rooms. Inexperience,
inattention, fatigue or possibly intoxi-
cation prevents the valve from being
properly closed when the gas is turned
off, and probably this has more than
the alleged blowing out of the light to
do with the accidental asphyxiation re-
ported every now and then by the news
papers. Proceeding on that theory. at
any rate, Mr.. Field affixes to the valve
stem light spiral spring. which con
tinually tries TO shut off the gas. When
the gas is turned On. a jointed thumb
piece may be caught in any one of sew
eral notches and held there automatic
ally. To put the light ou'. il is neces-
cary only 10 disengage the thumbpiece.
The spring then closes the valve and
closes il tight. The mechanism does
not interfere Mt all with the regulation

ROYAL BETROTuAL.
Czarowitch and Princess Alix OF
Hesse the Contracting
Parties:

Coburg, April 9O.-The betro
thai Is announced of the czarowitch
(Grsnd Duke Nicholas) to the PIN
cess Alix Victoria Helena Louise
Beatrice of Hesse. A few days
ago it was reported tina: the caro-
witch intended reeigning his snc-
cession to the throne in favor oil
his younger brother, Grand Duke
Michael. The belief was that this
action was contemplated on account
of the opposition of the car to his
marriage of the Princess Alix: 1t
was also stated at the time that the
czsrowitch would never marry.
But all obstacles to the happiness of
the couple seem to have been re
moved and the announcement oil
their betrothal at this time, before
the dispersal of the many royal per
sonagcs who had assembled for the
wedding of yesterday, affords OPpOr
tuni,y for the customary congraiu-
lations.
Emperor William of Germany
was the first to communicate the
news of the ctlotha1 to Qncen Vic
roria, who expressed himself as
highly pleased.

THAT INC0NE TAX.

A correspondent of the New
York World writes as follow:
"Senator Hill assumes that the
rich men who happen to live in
New York and draw their incomes
owe nothing to those parts of the
country from which their incomes
are derived. Mr.. Huntington lives
in New York, it is true, bnt l
question whether the principal part
of his income does not come from
his investments in the South and
West. The Sunset Railroad runs
directly through the South aud
with its connections extends to
the Pacific Ocean, and the re
sources OF those sections contribute
largely to his income. The Van
derbilts draw large profits from
the resources of that part of the
country tributary to the Lake Shore
and New York Central. Mr..
GouId's income comes from the
resources of the country through
which the Missouri Pacific, Union
Pacific and Wabash systems ex
tend. | can see no reason why
these vast estates should no be
required to pay their just proper
ton of The expenses of the Govern
ment, made necessary in order to
protect their interests from insurrec
ton and invasion, and l can
conceive of no better plan than q
direct tax upon the large incomes
derived from these properties:

COKE'S BILL
Will Have a Hard Struggle-Coun
ties In the Proposed District.

Washington, April 1S.-It is
evident that the bill which Senator
Coke had passed through the sens
ate yesterday for the creation of
the Southern judicial district of
Texas will not EaVe easy sailing in
the house. There is disposition
in that body to prevent any add
ton to the Federal judiciary. a
like bill relating to the Southern
district OF California has several
times failed even of consideration,
storm of objections being raised
against it:
What is worse in the present
case is the opposition of Mr.. Bal
ley Of Texas, who is very candid in
stating his objections to the bill;
He is in favor OF the passage of a
bill introduced by Representative
Culberson now pending before the
house, curtailing the power of Fed
eral district courts. If this bill is
passed the duties of the three Tex
as courts will be SO materially di
unfinished that fourth will not be
necessary,
The Post correspondent suggest
ed to Mr.. Bailey that it would be
pity for Texas to have to suffer
with local need while waiting for
general reform Of the whole judi
ciary system.
Mr.. Bailey said that if the case
were looked at in this light and the
general reform seemed too far away
he might favor the complete redi
stricting of the whole State into
four judicial districts with the loca
ton of the courts at suitable and
convenient places.
Mr.. Gresham of Texas, who is
the author OF like bill before the
house, will have charge of the bill
and is working tor its passage
through the house.
Senator Coke is very much in
favor OF the creation Of a new dis
trict. He said today that it is al
most foolish to cause Texas to wait
for the general revision of the whole
judiciary system.
No small object to be gained in
the creation Of a new district at
this time is another democratic
Judge on the Federal bench.
The counties in the new district
created by the senate bill are as fol
lows: Orange, Jasper, Newton,
Tyler, Harding Jefferson, Cham
bers, Liberty, Polk, Madison, San
Jacinto, Walker Montgomery,
Houston, Harris GalvestoDy Bra

that such an immense number of
