A Combination Suit in Equity Begun IN
New York City.
Louis H. HYDE, who resides at Orange, n
j.. commenced a suit In equity In the United
States Circuit Court against the Continental
Trust Company, OF which he is shareholder,
to test the constitutioaality OF the new in
come-tax law. It is understood that num-
ber OF corporations AMI individuals largely
effected by the income tax have combined TO
protect their interests and to test the constl-
tutionali.y OF the act.
In his bill OF complaint the law Is de-
clared unc ons situt onal, null and void, and
for the following reasons.
That the tax Is d rect tax in the respect
OF the real estate and PERSONAL property held
and owned BY the company, which direct tax
|, not apportioned among thu several States.
as required by s'c.ion OF article 1 OF the
constitution OF ths Unted States; that II the
income tax be hell not to be direc. tax. it
is still null and void because it is not uni orm
throughout tho United S atcs for the reason
that it Is imposed upon only about per cent
OF the population Of the country, while the
remaining SO per cent. are exempt although
they hold the greater portion OF all the real
and personal property.
The reas ms held to establish the non-uni.
iormity OF the tax are set forth at length and
the bill then continues to set forth further
grounds of unconstisut Glity These are that
slate, county and municipal stocks aud bonds
are taxed, and that they are not proper sub
iects OF the tax n power oftne United States;
that the income tax i'm rairs property rights
vested prior 10 the pa 'ainy OF the act; thaF
any one tax un ler its terms and provisions
may be deprived Of their property without
due process of law, ald that persons and
corporations MAJ be compelled to disclose
their private looks IN papers In order ID
make them Liable for penalty or to forfeit
their property.

COTTON MILLS GOING SOUTH.
Two of tho Largest Companies IN New Enc
land Preparing to Hove.

A special dispa' ca from Boston to tho New
York Evening Post says:
Tnere has been presented in the House
petition from the MerrImack NJ Inu acturin5
Corporation for leave to increase its capital
stock to 50. so, 900 and to do business outside
OF the State, or in any part OF the United
States" as the words OF the petition have it.
On Wednesday similar petition WAS pre-
fented from the Boot Manufac uring Corpo-
ration. which is one OF the largest cotton
concers In New E iglaad.
As Wednesday was tho FIRST day on which
petitions were presented % the Legislature it
looks rs if the cotton mills were getting
ready to adopt this policy. The frs: to
make this move was tLe Dwight mills, Of
Chicago, which got the desired permission
from the Los sislaiure last year, and have since
decided 10 lccI.e in Georgia.
Thero are three motives which tend to
bring about this removal Of mi Is from the
North. Probably first OF all is the cheapneSs
OF manufacturing where raw material Is close
at han an wlcre tn, supplies Of coil are
also nearer. Then there is also the lower
prics OF labor In the South and the fear OF
hostile abor lo ;i,at on In tho North.
The movement OF the Boot and MerrmacS
mills is practically that OF the sam, boly o..
men. The president OF each corporation IS
Augustus Lowell, OF Boston, and Arthur L.
LYMAN. one OF tho most influential OF Bos-
tons business men, isa director in each.

HAMLET's GRAVE

Appropriate to Keenes, the emi.
neRt 4ragediau's coming it will be of
interest to refer to an incident Of
his travels in las summers vaca-
tiou.
While Keene was rummaging
through the old book and brio a
brac shops of Paris, somebody told
him of Hamlet's grave, and he de-
termined to visit it, although ii was
hye hundred miles from out OF the
way OF his intended route. Mari
clyst is a village a mile and a half
from the ancient fortress Of Helsin-
gore, the Elsinore of Shakespeares
tragedy. 1t is directly on the Bal
tic and but few miles from Copen-
hagen, In a small pine wood skirt
ing the village, Keene came upon
the object of his quest-a truuca
ted cone made of rude stones, nine
feet at base and about four feet at
the top, from which springs mon
olith of granite, on which is cut in
quaint, Danish old time letters:
"Hamlet's Grave. The villager
who acted as guide seemed to have
no knowledge of the dead Hamlet +,
except that he was great warrior
1t was a wild and wierd spot, lone
and ghastly enough, as the wind
from off the Baltic howled and
shrieked through the frs, keeping
their sentinel watch over the lone
ly mound. Just such a spot as
Shakespeares melancholy Dane
would have chosen for his last sleep.
At the grave side, Keene could not
divert himself from the Shakespear-
ian sentiment which seemed to pre-
vail all about him. Nothing could
have more powerfully Illustrated
the impress which Shakespeare has
left upon the world" said Mr..
Keene, ethan this visit to Hamlet's
grave and the old castle and plat
form. Hamlet is rather a common
name in Denmark, and the grave
under the pines may or may not
have been that of the Hamlet Of
our Shakespearlan love and rever-
ence The belief that it is really
s. is certainly encouraged Jby many
people of repute. Be that as it
may, it did not interfere with Mr..
Keene's belief. He had travelled
five hundred miles to find Hamlet S
grave, and you could no more shake
his belief that the veritable Ham
let's dust lay there, than you could
destroy his faith in the authorship
Of Shakespeare's plays. Ghio's OPP
