Returns Must be Made to Collector
Stairley by This Evening.
The Internal Revenue office will be
kept open until o'clock this evening for
the accommodation of belaUed persons
who have not yet returned their income
tax lists.
The returns have been coming in quite
rapidly, although in this city, the largest
locality in the Fourth District. there is a
considerable number of persons whose
incomes amount to between $3, 500 and
$1,000, and over the latter sum, who have
not yet sent in their lists to the Internal
Revenue Collector.
III the lists are not sent in by o'clock
this evening penalty of so per cent. will
be imposed upon those who had failed to
comply with the law. The per cent. tax
On all incomes exceeding $4,000 year
will be payable on the 1st of July next.
The penalty for non-payment of the tax
on that date is per cent. and interest at
the rate OF per cent. per month from the
time the tax is due.
All persons whose incomes exceed
$4,000 per annum must make their re-
turns without making any deductions
from that amount. The net income cuts
no figure in that case. The gross income
is what must be returned.
In case OF neglect occasioned by sick
ness or absence, the Collector is given
the power to allow such further time for
making and delivering the list or return
as he may deem necessary, not exceed
Ing thirty days.

WAS 1T IOE SPRouT2

The Man Shot by sheriff Matthews
Resembled Him Closely.
It is thought that the man who was
killed by Sheriff Matthews of Monterey
last week may be Joe Sprout, one of the
notorious Sprout brothers.
When he was captured he refused to
tell his name or answer any questions
and said he wanted to be let alone. His
sharp eyes scanned every person who
came into the room where he lay dying,
and his anxiety seemed to be that he
should not be recognized. A picture OF
him resembles Joe Sprout very closely,
and when Sheriff Johnson showed it to
George Sprout, now in the County Jail,
he said that it resembled his brother very
closely and he was inclined to think it
might be he.

Chief Aids Appointed-Cau Schoolboys
Parade Also!
The Grand Marshal and aids for the
parade of the g. a. r. held meeting
yesterday at Foresters' Hall, but many
who had accepted positions as aids were
not present, and the object of the meeting
was thereby largely frustrated. The aids
were pointed from the fraternal socie-
tics " nIcn have accepted invitations to
take part in the parade.
The Boys Brigade will take part in the
parade, and the City Board of Education
will be requested TO grant a holiday to the
pupils, in order that the schoolboys may
also march with them, indicating that
they expect to take upon their shoulders,
when the Grand Army lays it down, the
responsibility attendant on the preserVa-
tion and perpetuatlon of our institutions
y mum Der OF business men have also sug-
gested the closing Of business houses, at
least during the time OF the parade
Several merchants have also suggested
that the business houses be closed for the
morning, or at least during the parade.
The question Of two proposed lines OF
march was discussed, one ending by
countermarching on J street, near Tenth
and the other, which was a little longer,
ending by countermarching on NJ street.
The matter will be settled at the next
meeting of the Committee OF Arrange
ments.
The Chief Aids are as follows: For the

EASTER SUNDAY In SACRAMENTO.
Nature Itself Entered Into the Spirit
of the Day.
The Churches All Well Attended and
Beautified With Flowers-some
Special Features,

The weather yesterday was simply per-
s 1sct, and all nature seemed to participate
an the Easter rejoicings. The day was
observed in most creditable manner in
this city. In all the churches the serv-
Ices were of special character appropri-
ate to the occasion, and they were all well
attended. In many of them the musical
features were very attractive, and the
pulpits were handsomely decorated with
Howers.s
The services at the Catholic Cathedral
and st. Pau's Episcopal Church were of
a more elaborate character than else
where, as is customary with those
churches.
AT st. Paups Church the interior was
beautifully trimmed, the chancel being
profusely decorated with Gala lilies and
other flowers, potted plants and palms.
One beautiful flower piece contained a
red cross imbedded in white, with the
motto, "In Hoe Signo Vinces." The
church was crowded at the morning
services, the aisles and rear being occu-
pied by chairs. The music was of high
order and well rendered, and the sermon
by Kew. q. a. Ottmann, the rector, vas
eloquent, forcible and appropriate to the
occasion.
In the evening the members of Sacra-
mento Commandery, No. 2, Knights
Templar, attended the services in body,
large percentage of the mem bership OF
The commandery being present. The
church was crowded and the music, as IN
the morning, was of high order.
Rev. Mr.. Ottmann took for his text
Galatians, sixth chapter, fourteenth verse:
"But God forbid that l should glory.
save in the cross of our Lord, Jesus
Christ, by whom the world is crucitied
unto me and l unto the world"
He spoke of the cross and OF its connec-
tion with the Knights Templar, the pur-
poses for which it was used in olden
times and what it symb boliZss to-day.
The attendance was large.
CATHEDRAL SERVICES.
at the 1920 o'clock services at the
Cathedral the large edifice was thronged
with people, many being non-mem bers,
for whom the chief attraction was the
superb music that accompanied the high
mass.
The church was made beautiful with
lilies and other flowers arranged by the
ladies OF the congregation. A sermon ap-
propriate to the occasion was delivered by
Rev. Father Grace who spoke eloquently
and feelingly of the sufferings of Christ,
his passion on the cross, his death, burial
and ascension to heaven.
The music was the grandest ever heard
on any similar occasion in this city, and
would have been creditable to the choir
of any cathedral, even in city of ten or
twenty times the population OF Sacra-
mento.

JUDGMENT FOR RuHL

Long-Contested Case Decided in the
Superior Court.
The jury in the case of B. Ruhl against
George NJ. Mott brought in a verdict
Saturday night for the plaintiff
In 1891 RuhI purchased some real q state
from Mott, and after a few months
elapsed he complained that the property
was not as Mott represented it to be. A
couple of months ago he brought suit
against Mott to have the transaction de-
clared off.
The case had been on trial in Superior
Judge Johnson's court for nearly
three weeks, and attracted more than
ordinary attention on account of the
prominence OF the parties.

Professor B1ackfe,s Last yyoras

We can vouch for the truth of the fol-
lowing very typical and pathetic story of
the last words Of the late Professor
Blackie. His wife was talking with him
OF charity. "Ah, yes. Hans" she said,
you have always been so fond of speak
ing of the three-Faith. Hope and Char
ity-be Ggdpe, as you called her." The
dying man. following the more accurate
pronunciation of Greek which prevails
in Scotland, gently corrected the mis-
placed accent-"Ggope, my dear" Aud
those were the last words Professor
Blackie uttered-a strikingly chara cter-
istic combination of his lifelong ideas OF
kindliness and scholarship. - London
