TO COLLECT INCOME TAX.
Mr.. WeIburn's Office Preparing for
the Ordeal.
Complaint Made About The Limited Extra
Force Of Deputies Allowed for
the Work.

United States Collector of Internal Rev
enue Welburn sees trouble ahead for his
Office.
He is drilling the available force of his
office in the methods of assessing and col
lecting the income tax.
What is worrying the Office here is the
limited force that will be allowed to per-
form the work.
In the United States there are sixty-four
districts and only 324 extra men have been
appointed to carry out the law These will
be apportioned in accordance with the
wealth of the various sections in which
they are located.
Mr.. Welburn estimates that under this
rule he will get only three of these men,
and in view of the fact that he will have
to cover most of the State, this number is
quite inadequate.
For this reason Chief Deputy Loupe is
engaged in instructing all the clerical
force of the Office that can be spared for
the purpose in the routine of their future
work.
By assiduous exertions the Collector ex-
poets to find out about the incomes of the
wealthy men, provided the capitalists tell
the truth under oath.
Under the law any person, whether re-
siding in the United States or abroad and
who has an income exceeding $4,000 ac-
quired in this country, is subject to a tax
of per cent year on such income.
Persons having an income of over $500
must make return to the revenue col
lector, but persons whose incomes are less
than this amount are exempt from making
returns.
In case one fails to make the required
returns to the Government officer a tax of
80 per cent is levied, and if false returns
are made the penalty is practically confis
cation.
1t is provided that all returns made to
the Collector must be verified by oath, and
if that officer has sufficient reason for be-
lieving that they have been underesti-
mated he has power to investigate and
raise the assessment as it properly should
be.
All the returns must be in the hands of
the Solicitor by the 1st of March, and the
tax is to be collected on or before July /
in each year.

four hundred years ago, and saw the re-
mains of some of the forty ancient cities
which were in ruins. The country was in
habited, then as now, by a race known as
the Mayas; they protested utter Ignorance
of the story of these cities or of the race
which had inhabited them. There was not
even a tradition regarding them. The
Spaniards reported that they had seen
ruins, apparently of vast antiquity, reveal
ing the existence OF high civilization;
that is, in one sense, all that Mrs. Plongeon
reports to-day. But she is more consci-
entious explorer than the eountrymen OF
Cortez, and she is gifted with lively
imagination; some of the revelations she
makes are likely to command the attention
of skilled arch@ologist, and thus there is
a possibility that schemes of history and
mythology may be built up on these me-
MORALS of the past.
In some of the vast buildings she visited
are spacious chambers which were plastered
with stucco that has in most cases fallen
from the walls. But here and there the
stucco still adheres, and it is found to be
covered by paintings in fresco. These
paintings represent human beings. One of
them shows young girl seated before
shrine and gazing fxedly into mirror.
Another represents a tall man seated with
his head inclined upon his breast Before
him stands a girl with her arm outstretched
and her hand extended toward the man as
if she were magnetizing him. A third
depicts man who seems to be priest and
appears to be making invocations.
fourth introduces US to parsonage who
looks like an augur, and is inspecting the
entrails of fish. Out of these pictures
Mrs. Plongeon has constructed con-
jectural theology, which included animal
magnetism and belief in metempsy-
Ghosts.
The lady's theories are entertaining as
conjectures. But they are nothing more.
We shall not know the truth regarding
Central American antiquities till they have
been examined by skilled Psychologist
like Brugsh Bey, or Marietta or Flinders
Petrie. There is nothing incongruous in
the notion that at the time Europe was

lean Indian was a mound-builder there
may have hourished civilized and Gull
tured race on the isthmus which connects
the two Americas. But at present we
know positively nothing on the subject.

The proposed formation of union
among the streetear men of this city and
the possibility OF trouble arising out of
rumored coming cut in their wages have
caused a good deal of discussion among
the employees and others interested.
While the report that a cut was pending
could be traced to no definite source the

in most instances mentioned that fact as
an illustration of the necessity for an or
ganization which would in measure, at
least, protect their interests.
