When the Income Tax Starts.

A highly important question that
has been the Subject of much dis
cusaon ssffaas apparent
that lie seaate Tariff Bill would be
comea Ian relates 80 the income
tax md he date on which 1t will go
into effect. his fke opinion Of the
memberssasf DE Ways and Means
Commit1se that this provision viii
become operative next January, and
the tax which will then be levied will
be upon incomes earned since Jan.
/, 1894. This opinion is based upon
literal Interpretation of the terms OF
the bill, which are as follows:
.sSec. 81. That from and after the
lst of January, eighteen hundred
aud ninety-fve. and until the first
day of January, nineteen hundred,
there shall be assessed, levied, col
lected and paid annually upon the
gains, profits and income received in
the preceding calendar by every
citizen of the United States, whether
residing at home OF abroad, and every
person sesiding therein, whether
said gains profits or income be levied
from any kind of property, rents,
interest, dividends or salaries, or
from any profession, trade employ
ment or vocatien csgried Ton in the
United States elsewhere, or from
any other source whatever, tax OF 2
per centum on the amount 80 derived
over and above psr thousand dot
lars; and . Ike tax shall be levied,
collected and paid annually upon the
gains, profits. and ,sincome from all
property owned and Of every busi-
ness, trade or profession carried on
in the United States by persons re-
siding without J. the United States.
And the tax herein provided for shall
be assessed, by the Commis.

times sappliant, it IS to be. presumed
that there are many silent petitions
being sent forth that President Cleve-
land will veto the tariff blI and lh,is
kill the provision for tie lesying Of 40
income tax. Although the two per
cent. tax provided for Oh incomes Of
more than $4,000 win be q contribu-
ton of but one dollar ont Of City to
Uncle Sam, issis.geaeEallB believed that
in many mansions the wealthy owoers
look upon the tax as great hardship.
Il is estimated BY Treasury experts
that the revenue derived from the in-
come tax viii $50, ,e0e, ,e09ea year.
Other estimates vary from $25. .00c,-
0Oo to $40. 100000. OF this New
York's men of wealth and others not
termed wealthy. but who live comfor-
tably on more than $4,000 a year, will
pay large proportion.
The tax to be paid By some of the
leading milliouaires Of this city will in
maoy instances run up in the thousands.
William Waldorf Astor will undou btediy
lead the list. His incomea is estimated
at $1,000, 900 per year, and on this he
will have to pay yearly tax of $178.-
600. John D. Rockefeller, whose in-
come is estimated at 81, ,6l1.25O, will
have to pay $152. .225; the Gould
estate $50, 800, and poor and unhappy
RUSSELL Sage about 100000 Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt, with ans estimated in-
come of 81 ,04S. .OOg viii have to con-
tribute yeasly tax of $50, 800, while
William Z. YaDderbilt's- contribution
to the national exchequer will be about
S75, 900. John Jacob Astor will be
let Of on payment Of $50, 900.
Other millionaires aud their probable
income tax are Henry NJ. Flagler, $780,
600; Frederick W. Vanderbilt. $685.
600: Louis c. Tiffany, $4,000; j;
Collis P. Huntington $4,000; Will
liam Rockefeller, 100000; Moses
Taylor estate. $4,000. Robert Goelet,
$25, 900; Ogden Goelet. $4,000.
There will be some fair hands, too,
that will counnt ont cash to the inter-
nal revenue collectors It will cost
Mrs. Bradley Martin. Mrs. Ansou
Phelphs Stokes, Clementina Furniss
and Sophia r. Furniss about $4,000
each if the bill goes on che statute
books, and if Mrs Het.y Green doesn',
succeed in lodging the collector it is
estimated that she will have to part with
$40. 900.
The feelings, of the millionaires who
are to be taxed, if Mr. Cleveland says
SO, may be partially alleviated BY the
fact that the net earnings of corporations
are to be taxed before being paid out
10 dividends. so very few rich men will
be obliged to give over the entire
amount of their tax in lump sum.
Like men who buy their cigars singly
instead of in box, because it doesn't
seem to cost so much, they may thus be
kept from believing themselves on the
verge of bankruptcy when the tax col

CHAPTER XXXIII.

Taking Otomie In my arms, bore her
to one OF tho storehouses attached to the
temple Here many children had been
placed for safety, among them my own
son.
What ails our mother, father?" said
the boy land why did sho shut me in
here with these children when it seems
that there is fighting without?'
Your mother has tainted" I answer
ed, land doubtless she placed you here to
keep you safe. Now, do tend to her till l
return"
II will do so," answered tho boy, "but
surely it would be better that I, who am
almost man, should be without fighting
the Spaniards at your side, rather than
within, nursing sick women
"Do as I bid you, son." Sid, land l
charge you not to leave this place until 1
come for you again.
Now I passed out of the storehouse,
shutting the door behind me- A minute
later wished that had staid where l
was, since on the platform my eyes were
greeted by o sight moro dreadful than any
that had gone before, for there, advanc-
ing toward US, were the women, divided
into four great companies, some of them
bearing infants in their arms. They came
singing and leaping, many of them naked
to the middle. Nor was this all, for in
front of them ran the pabas and such of
the women themselves as were persons In
authority. These leaders, male and female,
ran and leaped and sang, calling upon the
names Of their demon gods and celebrating
the wickedness of their forefathers, while
after them poured the bowling troops of
women.
To and fro they rushed, now making
obeisance to the statue of Huitzel, now
prostrating themselves before his hidcous
sister, the goddess of death, who sat be-
side him adorned with her carven neck
lace of mems skulls and hands, now bow
ing around tho stone Of sacrifice, and now
thrusting their baro arms into the flames
of the holy fire. For an hour or more they
celebrated this ghastly carnival, Of which
even I, vcrsed as was in the Indian Gus
toms, could not fully understand the mcan-
ing, and then, rs though somo single I'M
pulse had possessed them, they withdrew
to tho center of the open space, and form
ing themselves into double circle, with
in which stood the pabas, of sudden they
burst into chant so wild and shrill that
as listened my blood curdled in my veins.
Ever us they sang, step by step they
