COMPOSITIONS IN PRISON.
Confinement Did Not Apparently Disturb
These Men OF Letters.

Imprisonment of the learned whether
legal or illegal, does not seem to have dis
turbed the man of letters In the progress
OF his studies
1t was in prison that Boethus composed
his excellent book on the Consultations
Of Philosophy" and Grotius wrote his
Commentary on st. Matthew" during
his confinement.
While In the dungeon of monastery in
Portugal, Buchanan composed his excel
lent Paraphrases on the Psalms of Da-
vid. +"
''Fleta, n we'll known and excellent
law production, was written by man
confined in an English prison for life His

pursued with ardor his studies In the
Greek language and produced several good
compositions
Tho best and most agreeable book in
the Spanish language was composed by
Michael Cervantes during his captivity in
Barbary.
When Louis XII was Duke of Orleans
he was taken prisoner at the battle of St
Aubin and confined in the tower of
Bourges. While there he applied himself
to his neglected studies, with the result
that he subsequently became an able and
enlightened monarch
Margaret, queen of Henry ", king Of
France while confined in the Louvre,
warmly pursued the studies of elegant lit.
erature and composed very skillful apol
ogy for the Irregularities Of her conduct.
During his confinement Sir Walter RAJ
leigh produced his History of the World A."
Queen Elizabeth, while imprisoned by
her sister Mary, wrote some very charm
ing poems and Mary, queen of Scots,
during her long confinement by Elizabeth,
produced number of pleasing compost
tions
1t was while he was cruelty confined at
Holmsby that Charles I wrote that excel
lent book entitled The Portrait of a
King - which he addressed to his son and
in which the political reflections are said to
be worthy of Tacitus. BY some this work
has been attributed to DR. Gander, a
blatant Radical of that period, but who
was incapable of writing single para,

To Walk Chalk.

To "walk chalk" is a phrase borrowed
from the times when royalty travelled on
horseback or In carriages with consider
able rctinue. Before arriving in a town
herald or court officer would precede the
cortegc, select the best houses for the use
Of royalty and mark their doors with
chalk. Immediately after this was done
the residents in these houses were supposed
instantly to vacate them; hence the pro-
priety of the expression.

MAKING THE START.

Wind and Water Were UnfnyOra bles
No Record Smashing.
1t was 1886 yesterday afternoon when
Umpire Statzeu gave the word go" to
the first race on the programme Of the
Potomac River Regatta
Three O'Clock was the time set for the
start. The delay was caused by tug and
its tow coming directly down the middle
of the course, and the difficulty to get the
crews in line on account of the rough water
and a strong wind blowing across the course,
constantly swaying the boats away from
a straight line. .
The condition OF the water and mean
cross wind which blew in gusts making the
water lumpy, prevented any very fast time,
much less record smashing Had the water
been fair the results in at least two races
" ould have been different.
The regatta was one of the largest this
river has seen and contained more crews
OF good quality than any since the
National regatta. The afternoon was fun
of surprises and an immense amount of
money went to Baltimore City, whose en-
ries took four out Of the six races
ne pOliCe DOdJ Joe bLlGkDUTU, CODlI00-
dore Sutton in charge, had neyer-ending
task of keeping a clear course, especially
at the finish.
ONE GREAT MISTAKE
While everything was attended TO as
1t should have been by the regatta commit
tee, one great mistake was made and
caused trouble twice and that was having
he turning buoys too close together There
was room enough and too spare to have
put them fifty feet more apart. Outside
of this it was one of the best managed
regattas we have had. 6
The first race was for Junior eight-oared
shells and had as starters the Columbia
Athletics, Baltimore Athletics, and the Po-
;pmacs, of this city; all big, strong, vigur-
Jus crews, each one loo king - pink of con-
GitiOn.

CUT ITS HEART OUT
Continued from First Page.)

On the merits of the act he made the
following points:
First-The government of the United
States possesses plenary powers of tax
ation-all powers which belong To any
government as such-subject only to
the limitation imposed by the constitu-
ton in forbiding the levying of an ex-
port tax.
Second-This power, unlimited itself,
is limited as TO form by the require
ments that direct taxes shall be ap-
portioned according 10 population, and
duties. excuses and imports shall be
uniform throughout the United States.
Third-The limitation as to appor-
tionment is not a limitation on the
power of taxation. but a limitation of
the manner in which the power shall
be execiSed.
F'ourth-Whether a federal Income
tax is direct or indirect does not de-
pend alone upon the theories of econ
omiStS but upon the sense in which
these words are used in the conStitu-
ton, as heretofore interpreted
F'ifth-Shortly after the constitution
was framed 019D congress put con-
struction upon these words by impos-
ing a tax on carriages. The act was
passed by a large majority and was
approved by Washington.
Sixth-The above act was considered
by this court in the HyltOn case in
third Dallas and its constitutionality
was maintained, the reasoning of all
