RFrELL TEE INcoNE TAX.

Iisuseless TO talk OF amending the present
emasculated income tax in Congress. The
decision Of the Supreme Court prevents the
enforcement Of a law to tax allincomes, and
any other kind Of a tax would be unjust
and discriminating. The court has decided
positively that tax on incomes derived
from rents and State sBd municipal bonds
isunconstitutional, and as there is no appeal
from that decision the income tax should
be repealed as soon as possible.
Assist ant A ttorney General whitney hasap-
parently borrowed the boots OF Chairman
Springer and is stepping high as
n hopeful supporter OF the income

The section of orbithology of the National
Science Club, entertained their members
by an enjoyable talk about ''The birds that
are here in the rooms. No. 1425 New
York avenue yesterday The subject was
introduced by aiss Florence T. MurraIn, a
teacher and student OF oruithology, who
brought with hersome of thhe birds andnests
from the Smithsonian Institute.

around Washington, OF those in the parks

Rock Creek valley - places where they can
be observed TO most advantage.
She spoke OF Washington as being an ideal
place to study birds and stated that now
though early in spring, was TIE most

Reform AND THE BOARD OF TRADE.

the gas and electric nloncpolles are mem

times in the past, and Washington owes
much Of it's thrift and progress to the ex-

But it is the very energetic. money max

10 the conflict with monopoly the public
must fight its own battles. Unless citi-

never succeed in securing cheaper prices.
10 years past a few patriotic persons have
vainly attempted to combat with the gas

their efforts were defea ted and the company

public.

duty OF al citizens to lend their influence.
The Times is preparing a petition to Con-
gress for cheaper gas, and your coupons are
earnestly solicited. Later on an attempt
will be made for cheaper electric light, but
as gas is the NEST important, it is best TO
first make that demand. Don't forget

MR. cLEYELANp,s INCOME TAX.

TIE publicity given TO the filing of Presi-
dent Clevel and's income report al most
leads TO the impression that such an event
was unexpected and that he was a tax
dodger The only real curiosity that
should influence the public mind is the
extent OF his tax, as it is indicative of the
amount OF has wealth.
Under ordinary circumstances such an
inquiry would be impeuinent, bat SO many
reports are circulated concerning his ability
as j money maker that thisone is justifialle.
By some il is said that Mr.. Cleveland is
worth two millions or dollars, which is
probably an exaggera;ion; but fix his
wealth at one million, and then try to guess
where he got it.
Ten years ago, at the beginning of his
first administration, President Cleveland
was generally known as a man OF very
moderate means Four years Presidential
salary, If saved, would net him $500, 900.
He then had four years practice as aIawyer
in New York, which probably brought him
500. 600 more. He has drawn a salary
OF $780, 600 during this term of office,
and if worth million the pub ic would
like to know the seeretor his power to make
money

UNPARpONABLE MIsCHIEF.

Perhaps Judge Miller erred on the side
OF mercy when he imposed a mere fine
OF twenty-five dollars on the young fellow
who, in spirit of wanton mischief, rang
in a fire alarm from one of the new boxes
early yesterday morning. 1t would
probsbly have had a more deterrent effect
if severer penalty had been imposed
The new fire alarm boxes are a great
Improvement over the old style, in that
they are more readily accessible in case
OF need. The crank is on the outside and,
in order TO give an alarm, all that is nee
essary is to turn it. The simplicity
of the device constitutes its chief merit,
because it saves time, and the Fire Depart
ment can be brought more promptly to the
place where its services are required.
Because of its accessibility, however,
it is also more liable to be misused by mis-
chief loving individuals. Three times
already has this beeen done
In the two first instances the miscreants
were not caught. and it is particularly
gratifying that the latest malefactor did
not escape punishment, albeit it was light
1t is not only the expense involved in the
useless calling out OF the Fire Department
that is reprehensible, for the most serious
aspect OF the offense lies in the possibility
that The services OF the apparatus might be
Urgcntly needed elsewhere.
II is TO be hoped that a sufficient warn
ing has been given. If there should be
a repetition OF the mischief, its originators
if caught ought to be more severely dealt

Mrs. L. A. Crandali entertained the
executive committee OF the Short Story Club
on Thursday evening. This committee has
in contemplation an entertainment, to be
given May 8, for the, benefit of this popular
organization. It5will not be an occasion
for the membership only; it is hoped that
the general public will attend, and enable
this literary association during tho next
season TO have G. regular meeting place or
home. During the past winter the attend
ance has been so large that private parlors
can no longer seat the assemblages. The
mem bership is limited, but every writer
of an original article is entitled to invite
friends, and individual members have the
same privilege. Public interest IN these
contributions has been very manifest.
The entertainment to be given on May 8
at the hall of the Loyal Legion of Women
will consist of musical and dramatic feat
ures. Prominent among the tale engaged
are Mrs. III. H. Mills and Miss Anita Ciuss,
the harpist.
After the discussion of business during
the evening of April IL Mrs. Mary Hay
wood gave q very fine dialect recitation
of 1.-THE Widow Malone" This talented
lady will have charge of the literary part
of the coming event As chairman OF the
entertainment committee during this sea-
son she has proved herself eminently capa-
Bile of giving finished and superb pro-
grarnmes. Mrs Hort read an original poem,
a veritable gem, written by Mrs. Crandan,
and entitled 1.-The Dawn" The hostess,
assisted by Mrs. Perkins, then served
elegant refreshments. Major F. /. Willis
closed the evening with short story. AS
president OF the Short Story Club this gen.
tIeman has been jealous and accom-
plished officer The aim of the club, aside
from its social purposes, is to encourage

CLEANLINESS AND coDLIEEss.

The end of Lent is here, al nd the beautiful
custom OF using natures blossoms to cele-
brate that event has made Easter Sunday
the brightest aud most inspiring Of holy
DAYS. aside from its religious Significance.
More than this Easter has its greater
Significance in the inclination OF all classes
to dress better, behave better and become
more worthy citizens. The anniversary Of
the resurrection OF our Savior seems to
have an uplifting effect upon the mind,
and thoughts and deeds are purified &C
ccrdingly.
The religious aspect OF Easter can best
be detailed by those whose duty IT is TO
point the way to future life. The lessons
they fnculcate should be deeply implanted,
aud every word connected with the oc-
casion that gave this day its name should
have its beneficial influence. Not only
viii these lessons reach the heart, but the
music of Easter win also add its useful
effect ia arousing new emotions ana in
spiring higher and purer ambitions.
Nor must we forget the worldly side OF
Easter-the neatly attired women and the
renteeiy dressed men. There are those who
dislike TO see this day given over to a display
of spring suits, but il nature puts on hergarb
OF lovIiness why should not mankind also
emulate the example7 Cleanliness is
