These throw much new light upon the in
come tax and will be a revelation to some
of the people who come within the law.
In the beginning the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue says: cit should be made
to appear distinctly upon the returns that
expenses losses and worthless debts
deducted from income pertain exclusively
to the business of the year 1894"
Some of the other rules laid down for the
guidance of the Collector and his deputies
are as follows:
Where corporations disincorporate and dis
tribute their property to their shareholders
prior to making returns the dividends thus
distributed from net profits only should be re-
turned by the individuals receiving the same
as income for the year in which such net
profits were made. Such dividends, and also
those received by residents of the United States
from corporations doing business and having
their property entirely outside of the United
States, fail within that class designated in the
law as being derived from net profits upon
which the corporation is not Liable TO pay q
tax of per cent, and therefore all such divi-
dends should be returned as income by the
resident who receives the same, where returns
should be rendered.
Where person is engaged in business in
Guiding several different kinds, as for instance,
merchandising, manufacturing and buying
and selling real estate, his taxable income
should be ascertained by taking the gross
profits of all of said business and deducting
therefrom all allowable deductions, including
business losses, Notwithstanding the fact that
his gains from one business may be reduced
by losses from another. This, however, would
apply only to legitimate business, and no de-
duction in any case should be allowed for
losses sustained In horse-racing or at cards or
in other illegal gambling transactions.
The husband or father, as the head and legal
representative of the household, is required to
make and render return OF all the income of

himself, wife and minor children, in the aggre-
gate. For the purposes OF the income-tax law
1t must be assumed in all cases that he can as
certain the amount of said income, and except
In cases where said incomes are controlled by
legal trustees, or persons appointed by court,
it must be assumed that he has control of the
same. In case q wife has q separate taxable in
come, and manages her own business sepa-
rately, she is required to make return of her
own income, and such return should be at
tached to the return OF her husband, in order
that only one deduction of $4,000 may be
made from the aggregate incomes of the family
Prizes declared by and received from lotteries
year within the meaning of the income-tax
law, and should be included in the income of
the persons receiving the same, where, taken
with other sources OF income, such persons
would be required by law to make income-tax
returns
Persons receiving fees or emoluments for
professional services in making return of the
same for the year 1894 should include in said
return only the fees or emoluments received,
or due, from the business transacted in said
year. II the professional services began in the
year 1892 and continued through the year
1893, and were finally completed in 1894, and
the whole amount due for such services for the
three years was paid in 1894, the receipts
therefrom returned as income by the person
receiving the same for the year 1894 should
be only that portion of the gross receipts re-
ceived for professional services rendered in the
Mileage and allowance for stationery paid to
Senators and Representatives in Congress
should be included by them as income in rem
dering income-tax returns for the year 1894
and the actual expenses of travel and sta
tionery for official use paid by said officers
within the year for which return is made may
be deducted from the sums allowed to cover
such expenses. No deduction, except the ex-
emption $4,000, can be made under the law
from the fixed salary of any officer of the Gov
eminent, and deductions for expenses should
be made from specific allowances for such ex-
penses.

mitted by State laws to collect fees for off cial

spirits manufactured in this CITY, Harris
is the maker of well-known horse hni-
ment known as "Leg Dope" Its lngredl-
ents are said to be fusel oil, proof spirits
and vinegar.
Harris has been manufacturing this
medicine for nearly twenty years and OBJ
tanned his fusel oil and proof spirits from
the old distillery that used to be on the
water front at the foot of Laguna street.
In 1884 the proprietors of the concern sold
out to the whisky trust and the distillery
was dismantled. There was large guam
tity of proof spirits and fusei oil, made
from potatoes, left in the watts, and while
the distillery was being torn up Harris put
this in casks and moved it to his home, on
the corner of Scott and Turk streets. Ever
since he has been using this stuff as the
basis for his LEG Dope" The internal
revenue officers were informed of what was
going on, and they raided Harris house.
Seven barrels of the prepared liniment and
one barrel of overproof spirits were found
and seized.
As the captain seemed to have acted in
ignorance of the law he was not arrested.
The facts in the case were submitted to
Washington and the instructions came
back to arrest and prosecute. The warrant
was accordingly made out, Harris was
brought into court, gave bail and was re-
leased. He was out at the track yesterday

INSTRUMENTS,
The Viola d'Amor and Viol da
GAMBIA Used by the
Mozart Club.
A Remarkable Concert Given at the
Y. M. c. A. Auditorium Last
Night.

A unique and charming concert was
given yesterday evening in the Auditorium
of the Young Mems Christian Association
by the Mozart Symphony Club. The
organization consists of the usual string
quartet, comprising first and second
violin, viola and violoncello, but the
original character of the concert sprung
from the fact that couple of antiquated
instruments also figured on the pro-
gramme.
These instruments were the viola
d'amor and the VOL da gambia. The for
mer belongs to the violin tribe and the lat
ter has the appearance of small cello,
but the unusual number of pegs and
strings give both viols an unfamiliar and
complicated appearance, in fact the viola
d'amor has fourteen strings in all and the
VOL da gambia twelve.
The difficulty of lingering these obsolete
instruments would seem to preclude as
rapid and brilliant execution as can be OBJ
tanned on the viols in use to-day, but on
the other hand the quality of some of the
tones evolved from them was exquisite.
Richard Stoelzer, the viola-player in the
quartet, performed upon the viola d'amor,
rendering "Reverie Solitude" by
Schneider. and several encores, including
the prize Song from "The Master
Singers
The quality of the tones in the viola
d'amor consisted of two distinct registers,
In the upper one the notes were light,
graceful and not very penetrating, but the
lower tones were exquisitely sweet, full and
rich. This register was particularly sug-
gestive of singing, and a good many
Walters who give "The Prize Song" on
the lyric stage might take lessons from it
in tone production.
Mario Blodeck also produced some de-
lightful notes from the VOL da gambia.

sweetest in cantabile passages. the da

Local Politicians Await the Advent OF

Anxiety.

Only select few know that Colonel
Daniel M. Burns is on his way home from
his mine in Mexico. Colonel Burns is ex-
pected Sunday. The rank and file have
been kept in ignorance of this, however, as
it was deemed wiser to give the colonel a
few days in which to attend to the larger
affairs of state before the small fry should
begin their clamor for recognition.
Immediately upon the arrival OF the
colonel he will endeavor to modify the
patronage controlled by the Board OF
Supervisors.

INCOME TAX REGULATIONS,
New Rules Have Been Received
by Collector Welburn
From Washington.
MANY CHANGES ARE MADE.
Monday, So Everybody Is
Anxious.

Chief Deputy Collector Loup of the
Internal Revenue Department and his as
sistants had very busy time of it yester-
day in handling the income tax returns
From morn till night there was a rush of
people eager either to get their returns
sworn to or else seeking information. More
individual returns were made during the
day than at any one time since the act
went into force. Over 400 people swore to
their statements between 10 A. NJ. and 4
P. NJ, so it is no wonder that Deputy Col
lector Loup was tired of taking oaths when
the days work was done.
During the day special instructions
''relative to returns and taxation of in
comes for the year 1s94' were received.

this thing through. In order to raise funds
for right of way the ladies of Stockton
are going to get out Sunday edition of
the Mail and give the proceeds to the rail
road. 1t is the same thing all along the
proposed route through the valley; every
body wants the road and realizes it is the
peoples line. Everywhere the engineers
are receiving evidences of welcome, and
they Will be assisted in their work as far as
it is possible by citizens committees and
county officials.
''We have finished the survey down to
East street in Stockton from the water
front. There will be sidings at the ter
minus there to reach the water at
different places. We have practically
decided to place the passenger depot on
block % at Taylor and Hunter streets,
which is central location, and the best on
the main line on Hunter street.
'.For the lines already surveyed through
Stockton we have started a franchise
through the City Council and expect to
see it granted very soon. We are unde-
cided as to how we shall get out of Stock
ton on the way to San Francisco, but that
will be necessarily an after-consideration. !"

construction and fatcars and locomotives

gamba's most velvety and characteristic
tones seemed to be produced in lighter
passages.
Mr.. Blodeck was recalled again and
again. Another gifted soloist in the quar-
tet was Theodore Hoch, who played two
solos on small cornet with remarkable
command over his breathing and with
great sweetness of tone. The same per-
former also gave number of bugle calls
on Roman triumphal trumpet-an in
strument which was more suited to mill
tary band than to chamber concert.
The quartet consisted of Otto Lund,
Theo Hoeh, r. Stolzer and M. Blodcek.
The "Idomenes' overture, by Mozart, a
ballet by Delibes and several other num-
bers and encores were all very agreeably
played.
Otto Lund, the violin soloist, also won
applause and encores. The lady vocalists
who assisted the club were also encored,
but they were by no means artists in the
sense that the term was merited by the
instrumentalists. MEL.

| train last July in Yolo County, there is no
danger of their being dismissed from the
service of the company, as was lntimated
in a dispatch from Woodland. Burke and
Gibson claim to have been the means of
convicting Worden, who is now under
sentence of death at Fol som, of completely
in the crime. The dispatch further stated
that interesting developments were ex-
pected to come to light.
When w. f. Herrin, the head of the law
department of the Southern Pacific, was
asked why the detectives, who are in the
employ of the company, should have been
forced to sue, be replied:
"There are a lot of people claiming that
reward and it is simply the means adopted
to find out who are really entitled to it..
The money will be paid into court and the
Judge will disburse it to those who prove
they have legal claim on it. / under
stand that there are several claims already
in for the $4,000, and to protect the company
from any future complications in reference
to the matter we have adopted this course.
The same methods have been used in other
cases.
Asked whether the two detectives named
had been discharged from the service of
the company he referred the questioner to
Superintendent Fillmore. The latter said
the men had not been dismissed and that
he had no idea of dismissing them, ex-
planning their part in the Woodland suit,
as had been done by Mr.. Herrln.

Lord Randolph Churchill.

Lord Randolph Churchill is dy-
ing at the early age of +6-dying
as a result of over-indulgence i'll
narcotics and stimulants. 1t is
said he resorted to the latter for
relief from the pain of an agoniz-
ing internal disorder; but their
excessive use has proved that the
remedy was worse than the dis
ease. Thus ends career at one
time pregnant with glorious pro,
mise, but which proved to be like
that of a meteor-brilliant and
brief.
Ten years ago Lord Randolph
Churchill'S name was on every
English politicians tongue. He
was the younger Disraeli," the
bold leader of the young Tories
audacious in speech and action,
with the habit of making crisp
and pungent speeches on things
political, and the right-hand man
of Lord Salisbury. But success
seemed to turn his head. He
quarreled with the Premier, and
in a fit of pique resigned from the
CaEinet-gave up the Chancellor
ship of the Exchequer and the
honor of being the Tory leader
in the Commons, and went &c
the people with a demand for q
"vindication." The fate of Ros
coe Conkling under similar cir
cumstances befell him. The PEG

that his many popular qualitie:

Death O. Judge bingham.

We were startled last Tuesday
by the announcement, by tele-
gram, of the death of Judge
George A. Bingham, who died at
his residence i'll Littleton, n. H.,
Monday night. From the fact
that he was a native of Essex
County, together with his long
and distinguished career as a
lawyer and judge, the news OF
his death occasions deep ana
general sorrow. He was so close
lv identified with the business
interests, and socially with the
people of our county, that his
loss will be as deeply felt as
though he had always lived a.
mong us.
