LOTS OF GRIP.
Advice of the Superintendent of Health.
Take Care.

superintendent Chaplin, of the board of
health, talked about "grip" today:
"There Is an unusually large
number of cases of grip just
now," said he, shut there is
one redeeming feature about this seasons
course of the epidemic-there have been
few deaths from it. However, as soon
as one feels tie slightest indi-
cation of it, let him stay at home two or
three days and take the best of care of
himself, not forgetting TO call IN the best
physician he can find"
Apropos Of this little talk il appears
that the city hall people have been great
sufferers from grip recently. Colonel
Clarke is at home on its account as are
Mrs. Avery and clerk Winship of his
Office.
Clerk Payton of the city engineers
office is convaescing from one of the
worst attacks, ana clerk Bishop of the
same office has but just recovered.
superintendent Mansfield OF the public
buildings department, has been "just
about sick" for two days, and will not
give in.
Secretary Slade OF the commissioner of
public works Office has just recovered
from a bad attack, and his wife is now in
bed with the same treub bic.
What is true OF the city hall folk is
correspondingly true of outsiders.

Three KILLED.
CONTINUED From Page 1.)

In the midst of the roar were heard the
three upper stories on the Forty-third
street side had toppled into the
interior of the building. A dozen men
ran distractsdly in all directions TO send
In fire alarms and calls for ambulances. In
a few minutes fire engines and am balances
were on the scene. Ambulances
were there from every hospital in the
city. In short while ten were
taken out. or these two
were already dead. Another
who was identified as Charles Bobson was
unconscious. He was hurried into an
ambulance, but died on the way to the
hospital.
The building as it stands shows on the
Forty-tbird street side a wall broken off
at the third story. The wall just oppo-
site Is broken of at about the same
point. The wall on the other sides
are still standing, five stories hign, and
here lies the greatest danger for the
men and the rescuers. Contractor
O'Keefe and his partner, Patrick sKeegan,
were arrested and locked up in the
West Forty-seventh street station. No
bail would be taken when the owner of
the fall building, James McKelvey,
called to offer security.
The body OF the unknown Italian was
identified as that of Angelo Ticcor. Con-
tractor O'Keefe denied the statement thata
lot of material had been left on the floors
OF the building. OF the injured men,
Malloy and Dobson will die.
Following is the list of the dead;

AN EXPLANATION.
Information for Bankers Relative TO
the Income Tax Law.

the income Tax Law.
Official information received from
Washington by Collector Byxbee, regard
ing the income tax law, sets forth that
the position of savings banks will largely
relieve them from threatened taxation.
The authorities state that savings banks
exempt from the provisions of the in
come tax law are divided into
three classes. The first in
cludes the fifth sub division
containing five paragraphs, as shown on
page % of the regulations. The second
includes the savings banks contained in
snb- division No. @ of said regu-
latiops and the third includes
that part of the business of any savings
banks specified in the seventh SUBJ division
of page 20 OF the regulations.
Savings banks, to entitle them to the
benefit OF exemption, must be organ
lied and must have con-
Quoted their business during the
year 1894 upon some one Of the plans spe-
cally designated In the law extending the
exemption.
In estimating the amount of the surplus
fund the actual market value i'm cash
should be taken as the true.value thereof
Corporations organized and doing busi-
ness upon a plan which exempts them
under the provisions of the law are wholly
exempt from all OF said provisions and are
not required TO make any return or report
as in the case OF corporations doing busi-
ness for profit.
The substance Is that n banker doing
any business under the second clause Is
exempt from taxation under the other
provisions.

demnation, by any and sll improvements

We have earnestly endeavored to so

not been taken"

To lnqulrers.
The competition positively closes at
p. m, March IS next.
Entries may be made at any time.
Whenisending in a batch Of votes it is
not necessary TO write the me of the or
ganization voted for on each separate bal
lot. Do up your votes in bundle, Sc
curing them together by a pin or string,
and write the name of the lodge they are
intended for or the top ballot. That will
be sufficient. Only be sure that the bal
lots are secured so that they will not get
astray.
Voters do not have to make any pur-
chases OF the donors of the piano in order
TO vote. Everybody is entitled to vote as
often'as they please. All they have to do
Is to cut the ballot out OF THE NEWS and
send it TO the arHaby Company, where IL
will be duly registered aud filed. What
ever organization has secured the most
votes gets the piano. That's all there is
to it.
The price OF THE News is one cent.
This price is invariable except To news
dealers and TO newsboys.
No papers will be available at THE NEWS
Office to anyone ut a less price. AS a mat
ter of fact this price is 25 cents hundred
cheaper than The wholesale price OF a
tWo,eens psper, rhe ieea decision 10
than dealers and newsboys, is based on our
usual practice. We have twice had, within
q few weeks, order for five thousand
papers, containing a certain article which
the buyer desired to nail throughout the
Etate-havipg nothing 10 do with the
piano contest-and the price demanded
End paid was fifty dollars. We will main
tain this rule during the piano
competition that all interested may
have an equally fair show
TO secure theis ballots without any dis
crimiuation In fsvcr of those who con.
ceive the idea OF buying in large quantities
and perhsps securing all the votes they
want from an extra order for part1cu-
lar edition OF the paper.
We do not propose that there shall bo
any "junk" during the piano contest.
Any and all papers returned and sent to
the waste paper buyers VIII be torn
through the ballot SO that it will be
unavailable.
z No one connected with THE NEWS Office
or with the J. b. Barnaby Company Will
cut out or send in ballots.
No ballots will be printed except in the
regular edition of THE NEWS.
The standing of the Barnaby Company,
who give the piano, ana OF THE NEWS,
the medium of their competition, Is sufii-
cient TO guarantee the friends OF the rival
organizations that not only will
the contest be conducted strictly
on fair and square lines and
decided solely on the number OF votes
cast, but also that there shall be no
outlet for the procuring OF ballots
other than the channels that are
open to all alike. There will
be no "inside" work possible OF
any description and we will thank any or
the friends OF the competing organizations
for Information that seems 10 suggest
anything of the sort.
