She Had Lived in II ,tirennent In the An
nexed Di>tri,. lor Many Years.


NEW YORK. July ls.-M.ss Abble d.
Clay, So ond cousin Of Henry Clay,
and probably the only relative Of the
great Statesman IN this section Of the
United States. was buried Yesterday az
terHCCn in WOOdhayen G. mctery.
She had lived in Harlem almost as
rcclute Tor many years, and only her most
intimate friends were aware OF her reia-
ton 10 the great man whose name she
bore.
Miss Clay was sixty-eight years old at
the time OF ner death, ana was ~ many
avs a remarkable woman. At one time
POSSESSED or considerable wealth. she
sank into comparative poverty ana OBJ
scIrty during the last years OF her life,
bl< remained broad-minded, self-sui-
ncient phiiantrOpist 10 the last.
She was born in New Hampshire IN
1871. Her father, a colonel in the militia
there, was a first cousin Of Henry Gay,
and one Of Miss Clay's most pleasant
rccOllections OF the Statesman dates hack
to time when he rode on horseback
through several states 90 visit her father
She bore a marked resemblance 10 her
great cousin, but she spoke of him but
little. having always had an almost NOR
bid fear OF the curiosity which an an
nouncement Of the relationship might eN-
cite.
Miss Clay for many years had lived
with J. b. Kelly and his elderly sister
at No. sfi cast 10th street. Mr.. Kelly
was Formerly ore OF lU- NtdiAlif0A tlf -
chants I'm Broadway. She was an excel
lent business woman. and while he was
accommodating a fortune she prOspercH
also. Reverses came To both in time.
and she found a home with him and his
sister In a little cottage IN the annexed
district
Gradually Miss Clay became the friend
Of all the children IN the neghborhood
They were always welcomed by the sweet
faced, kindly woman. and she was al
ways distributing gifts. which. while not
costly, were not the less highly priced
by the little ones. She presented some
books 10 the Sabbath school Of the Sec
ond Church OF the Disciples Of Christ, IN
east 18TH street only a few weeks ago.
Sho visited he school occasionally and
although she went TO church mfr quent-
". the old Bible which she read con-
tinuallv at home was marked on almost
every page at texts which she considered
especially comforting.
She was a woman Of refined tastes
and although she lived in comparative
retirement she read widely, and was
thoroughly cOnversant with modern liter

Although Miss Clay had not been very
strong for the last few years she looked
Younger than she was. and was always

applied for assistance at Mr.. Kelly S
door. 49,
she fell IN four weeks ago. bat her
friends felt no alarm until last Friday

In the debate now going on In Cnica-
20 between Messrs. Horr and Harvey.
Mr.. Harvey said. amongst other things.
on Tuesday last:
Money Is a medium OF exchange and
a measure OF values. AS a measure or
values II is thing representing valle.
Money Is also medium of exch in2e.
What is meant by that is this: Instead
of exchanging one property for an
ether property. we exchange ii for mon
ey, and money being by law and uslge
a common medium of exchange, we are
thus able to exchange it for the other
property desired. We exchange property
for money and then exchange The money
for the property or for services. To I'M
derstand the importance of money we
mist consider the conditions that would
exist II we had no money. II would then
be a matter OF barter ard exchange-of
one kind of property for another.
Now this is perfectly correct. except
that money is the medium Of exchange

that Mr. Hill is guilty OF all that Mr.
Roosevelt charges against him, but what
travosty upon all government such an idea
of procedure is. How demoralizing ana
degrading TO a people for II to see its
Legislature deliberately enact n law with
the intention that the executive officers
of the State should dishonesty exc
cute It,
a spectacle OF this sort saps the foun-
dalton OF all public virtue, and must
sooner or later convert any people into
a nation Of tr1cksters and habitual per-
petrators of fraud.
And Mr. Roosevelt said what was per
fectly true when he said that the Sun
day law had never been a dead letter in
reality; that it had always been en-
forced against the man without money
and without political influence. II has
remained unenforced against those sa-
loon-keepers only who have political in
influence. or who are able 10 pay police
nen for not reporting them. Such
course Of procedure is the most demor-
alizing and degrading influence upon the
character Of a people that can AFFECT
them. 1t will corrupt and destroy any
people that permits It.
Mr.. Howard is right in his present
course. and all the reputable people OF
this city will endorse him in 1t and will
thank the Police Board for giving us
a chief who knows his duty and has
the courage to perform it.

The Work of Rcfunding viii soon BE
Ecgun.


WASHINGTON. July S.-The Internal
Revenue Bureau has practically com
rleted the work OF re, ording and sched-
uling the returns received under the In
come-taN act. ANA very soon Will be ready
10 begin the work OF rounding the
amounts paid before the law was de-
clarod unconstitutional. The applications
Tor refund, however. are coming IN very
slowly. No class ficatiols 10 determine
the occupations Of the Taxpayers or the
relative amounts paid by each state or
section of the country have been made
thus far but Judging from repeated
handling OF the returns. a tolerably close
estimate Of some OF the principal deduc-
tions which will Doe made later can now
be stated They are. however. only ap-
proXimations.
From the returns made. IT is believed
that fully Onc-hall OF the num-
Der of persons subject TO the
tax made no return whatever, and
this proportion is believed TO be even
greater in respect Of the amounts Of
tax involved. The aggregate OF the re-
turns made represent about Sl5.0l9ooo Of
tax. and hence about S3O.eDO00. 10 is call
culated, would have been collected. If
all who were subject 10 the tax had
sent in returns. II is also estimated
that the first decision of the Supreme
Court, exempting rents and receipts from
bonds from the operations of the act.
resulted in a loss Of fully 100000. so
that. had the law remained. as il origi-
nally stood, the total receipts from this
source, according TO estimates now made.
would have Appropriated S5.0o0000. or
even 100000. As 10 the proportion OF
the tax which would have been borne
by each section Of the country. only a
rough estimate can now be made. The
returns. however. seem TO indicate that
the New England and Middle States
would have paid about tw0-thirds of the
whole tax, and the Western and Southern
sections. each about one-sixth of the
whole.
