THE INCOME TAX.
It Is Said the Law Is Upheld by a Divided
 Court-Some Parts Invalid.

" As onau the LAW is Upneld by Q Divtde0
 Court-some Parts Invalid.
 CHICAGO, April s.-A special from Washington says: The United States supreme court, in the income tax case, has reversed the decision of the lower court, but the income tax law as whole is upheld only by d- vided court. Two important DOT tions of the law, however, have been decided to be unconstitutional, and they are so serious as to affect materi- ally, not only the revenues of the gov ernment, but the estimation in which the income tax will be held by the peo- pie. Under the decision to be handed down by the court, it is said all incomes derived from rents are ex- empted from taxation by the federal government and all incomes derived from state and municipal bonds are similarly exempted. In other re- spects the income tax law stands as it was passed last August, but the result of the consultations in the supreme court shows very conclusively that the law can easily be picked to pieces, pro- vided suits are brought to contest each particular point as it comes up.

The mounted trooper on the dapple- gray horse on the stage at the horse- guard ball was alive, but the horse wasn't. In fact he was built of the same material as the equine that figured in the fall of Troy. But he was the most natural looking wooden horse you ever saw.
 l overheard two men iu the uniform of the infantry in conversation.
 Have you noticed how quietly that horse stands there with the trombones fairly blowing in his face?"
 Yes" responded the other, but these old troop horses don't mind sTy- thing. ."-Hartford Post

A LYNCHING IN MARYLAND

Jacob Henson, a young color
ed man, convicted in Howard
county court and sentenced to be
hanged on June 9TH for the muir
der of d. +. Shea, wus taken
from the Elliott City Jail early
Tuesday morning and hanged to
a limb of a dogwood tree.
The lynchers feared that the
Governor of Maryland might be
induced to interfere and com
mute the dead mans sentence to
life imprisonment.
The grounds for this apprehen-
sion came from recent repeated
visits to the Jail of specialist in
mental diseases to inquire into
Henson's sanity, and the report
ed intention of Gov. Brown him
self to go out there for the same
purpose. The effect of this be
llet was found i'll a placard
which was left pinned to the
breast Of the lynched negro, on
Which was written,
awe respect our court and
Judges. Gov. Brown forced law
abiding citizens to carry out the
verdict of the jury.

Two green goods men calling
themselves Nash and Brown, re>

offered him 81 900 i'll counterfeit

from the genuine, for $500, and
lie bit and got the money stolen,
and did not get the green goods
either. Williams informed w.
G. Baldwin, chief Of the Bald

capture the swMdlers, but the
Pocahontas police got on to them
and scared them out of town.
Baldwin pretended to want to
buy their goods. One of the
men laid the whole plan before
him. The contract was made
and was to be carried out the
same day but the birds skipped
to parts unknown as soon as they
found they were suspected.

Droppe1 From a Balloon.

Among the attractions for the
benefit Of eNcurtionists at Arscn-
al Island, pleasure resort on the
river a few miles south of St.
Louis, Mo. last Sunday afternoon,
was a balloon ascension and
parachute drop by Professor Bar
son, a local pronaut. The Pro-
fessor had a number of men en-
gagged to assist in filling the bal
loon with gas and to steady it be-
fore it was released. Among
these was Tony Heafle, aged p
years. HeaAe urged Professor
Barton to permit him to accom-
pany him i'll the flight, but was
refused.
When everything was i'll read
mess, and the Professor gave the
order to "let 60" and the ball
loon shot upwards the people
were Mortified to see Heahe hang
ing to the netting on the upper
part Of the immense bag. The
Professors attention being at
tracted to- Heale when the bal
loon was about 700 feet from the
ground, and he cried to him
"For Gods sake hang on to the
Balloon but at that instant
Heafle loosened his grasp on the
ropes, and went swirling through
| the air, turning several solner-
saults in his descent, and strik|
ing the ground with such force
as to III sh his body into shape
less mass.
HeaAe is said to have gone tc
the grounds early in the day
with a young lady, and later OF
quarreled with her. 1t is sug.
gested that his trip on the bal
loon was with the deliberate pur.
pose of committing suicide il
| this novel manner.

A MOTHERS CRIME
SHE MURDERS HER DAUGHTER
MA1"TIE AND THEN COMMITS
SUICIDE.

Lying in pools i'll blood III
the second story of No. 1917
Asquith street, Baltimore, Md, ,
Tuesday afternoon were found
the bodies of Mrs. Marion J Ours
tain, aged 40, and her 10 year
old daughter Matte. In the
hands of the mother was a razor,
fresh of the life blood of both.
The elder woman had killed her
daughter and committed suicide
with the same instrument.
Mrs. Curtain and her daughter
lived at 1000 North Bond street.
Tuesday they visited Mrs. Emma
King the elder daughter Of the
murderess, and III her absence
from the house the shocking
tragedy was committed. Upon
her return from all errand that
had occupied only few minutes
Mrs. King found her mother and
sister stretched OH the floor,
while the compartment rcsenl-
bled slaughter house. Blood
was everywhere.
The ghastly discovery drove
Mrs King into the street shriek~
ing with fright and horror. A
crowd soon gathered and physl-
clans were summoned. 1t was
discovered that mother and
daughter were growing cold i'll
death. The neck of the girl
Matte was slashed from ear to
ear. Several other deep gashes
were found on her body. szsI
The condition of the room,
with its overturned furniture and
blood stains, indicated that the
girl had fought hard for her lie.
It is supposed that Mrs. Curtain
cut her own throat Immediately
after she murdered her child. The
| girl was lying Oh the floor with
her hands at her throat and with
every indication of having died
in fearful agony Mrs. Curtain S
head was resting against the leg
of the bed. One vigorous dash
OF the razor had been sufficient
to put an end to her life. Her
face wore its customary look of
sadness.
Mrs. Curtains husband, who
was a saloonkeeper on Central
avenue, died. labout three years ago
and she had brooded over his
death ever since. On several
occasions she had threatened to
do herself harm, and her rela-
tives were contemplating placing
her i'll an asylum to be treated
for insanity.
