STILL THEY COME.

The warning THE Evening World"
uttered yesterday in reference to col
llsions in the rivers and bay was not
spoken too soon. Yesterday. between S
and o'clock in the evening. the Iron
steamboat Pegasus left her pier at the
foot of West Twenty-third street for
Coney Island. She had light load of
passengers, less than "a hundred, on
board.
When the Pegasus was abreast of the
White Star line pier she was run into
and badly crushed by the Erie stock
yard boat, the Gen, Mccullough and
there would doubtless have been loss OF
life IL the force of the collision had not
driven the Pegasus against the White
Star dock, where she remained TANNED,
This enabled Capt. Halsey to get the
pa stricken passengers onto the dock
across II GanSplank.
OF course. there is the customary talk
about signals ami bells and reversal of
/ engines and MISUNDERSTANDING and all
that. Eut II is evident there must he
gross ignorance or carel.ssnesS on the
part Of those intrustcd with the naViga-

TAX DODGERS.

When the greatest of all tax dodgers,
the late Jay Gould, was alive, he paid
taxes on one hundred thousand dollars
worth of personal property This he
afterwards generously raised to fve
hundred thousand dollars.
When Jay Gould died he left personal
property to the value OF between sixty
and seventy million dollars. and great
portion OF II was not subject to any
tax.
This year the Tax Assessors here fixed
the value OF the personal property of
the Gould estate at ten million dollars.
Thereupon the executors and trustees
under the will OF the late Jay Gould
George j.. Edwin, Helen NJ. and Howard
Gould, go into the Supreme Court and
plead that they have no taxable per.
sonal property here. inasmuch as they
reside and do business in Tarrytown,
and are assessed on the personal prop
erty OF the estate at that place and pay
their tax there.
Three of the executors who swear they
live at Tarrytown are assessed this year
on one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars. Formerly they were assessed at
nifty thousand for all They pay IA
total taxation this year OF between six
and seven thousand dollars.
George Gould now joins the noble
army OF tax dodgers, and transfers his
| residence to Lakewood. II he is as
fortunate as his brothers and sisters
he will get OFF with "A personal assess.
ment on nifty thousand dollars, or six
hundred and seventy-five dollars tax.
The Constitutional Convention Ia now
In session. Ought ii to he possible for
people to cheat the tax laws in this
manner? Does any one believe that
the business OF the Gould family Is done
in Tarrytown and Lakewood? That 1t
IL Just and honest that their taxes
should be paid there"
Ought not something to be done to
put stop to this tax lodging?

THE DEMOCRATIC REVOLT.

The House and Senate conferrees on
the Tariff bin have agreed to disagree,
and the report to that effect will be made
to the House to-day.
The Senate, under the lead OF Senator
German. is obstinately resolved to adj
here to the interests Of tho trusts. The
Democratic House AMI the Democratic
President stand by tho Democratic
pledges OF tariff reform on which the
present Administration and the present
House were elec,cd by the people AMI
through which the great revolution In
the senate was accomplished. The bat
tie is one Of vcnality against prin-
ciple. The Democrats who have
deserted their party and united with the
Republicans in an effort To continue the
Mckinley tariff have simply sold them
selves to the sugar coal and iron trusts.
Bribery and corruption have done their
work. The trust conspirators threaten
that II tho German bin Is not accepted
the Mckinley tariff shall continue. Many
OF the Democrats Insist that legislation
in the interests of the trusts would be
worse than no legislation at all.
Meanwhile the bankers and business
men OF Chicago give voice to the senil-
mcnt Of the whole business community
when they send n telegram to the Senate
and the House, saying: "'rhe whole
country demands that Congress termin-
ate the pending tariff legislation lnlm"-
diately. Failure to dispose of the ques-
ton quickly will work incalcriahle loss
and irreparabe injury to financial and
industrial interests"
These are words OF truth. The unccr-
tainty that now hangs over the country
is the cause Of the paralysis Of business.

from which We suffer. And Democratic
traitors are responsible for It,

washing Hosiery.

One Of the most persistent causes OF
worry and torment of the economical
housewife Is the extravagant fashion
cotton hosiery has of fading. one good
rule Is to buy the best. for though the
first cost is greater the result pays by
showing clear fast colors instead of
streaked effects. After the first washing
very few fancy colors can pass through
the ordeal of the wash-tub without
growing dingy. Strong salt water Is
advised by some laundresses. while
others adhere to ammonia water. Sugar
of lead water is held by certain excel
lent housekeepers to be the best thing
to preserve the color in cotton stock
ings. All stockings should be well
shaken before being washed in plenty
of fresh, clean suds. Rinse them well
