posed commander Of the Salvation
Army in America, in a rival organiza-
ton on lines similar to the one from

EN- OLD MAN MURDERED.
Struck Down With an Axe or Hammer Al
most at His Door

Struck Down With an Axe or Hammer Al
most at His Door
New York, March S.-Stephen Pow
ell, a well known merchant of Hemp
stead. L. l.. was struck down and kill
ed within a few feet of his own door
late last night. The murdered man,
who was 20 years of age, was returning
home after closing his shoe store short
ly before midnight.
He was found dying on the road by
two of his friends, who saw two men
running down the road. 1t was found
that Mr.. Powell was bleeding to death.
He had received a terrible cut across
the eye, and another across the wrist
and still another on the back of the
head, it is believed from the blunt part
of an axe or hammer, which almost
crushed in his skull. He was taken
to his home, where he died within half
an hour.
Mr.. Powell was in the habit of carry
ing a large sum OF money, and it is
thought that robbery was the object of
the murderers. They were interrupted
in their work, however, and secured no
booty. To-day three negroes were ar
rested on suspicion of the murder. They
were Van Rensselaer, Simpson, John A.
Wayne and Arthur Mayhem.

THE RAINES BILL
It's Author Gives 1t Out Solid That 1t VIII
Pass the Assembly.

Pass the Assembly.
Rochester, n. Y, March S.-The Her
aid will tomorrow publish an inter-
view between Senator Raines and its
special correspondent, had while en-
route from Albany to Rochester, in
which the following is part:
THAT bill will go through the Assem-
bly, without crossing another It or dot
ting an t. Not only will it be unchang-
ed in form, but there will be no delay
in sending it to the Governor"
The bill referred to was the famous
Raines bill.
Continuing, the Senator said:
THE bill will be passed in the Sen
ate on Tuesday next. There is nothing
to prevent it from coming to a vote in
the Assembly on Friday next, although
it may go over until the beginning of
the following week. But inside of ten
days from to-day, that bill will be in
the Governors hands and ready for his
signature. Long before the end of the
current month it will be law on the
statute books of this State"
The present bill" the Senator said,
taxes only the seller of intoxicating
liquor. This bill will raise approx
mately S5,000,000 in revenue. My idea
is that next year we shall make the
manufacturers pay their share o. the
tax. The manufacturer ought to be
made to pay as much as the seller, and
$4,000 600 revenue from the manufac-
turer will practically wipe out the State
tax.
How will I reach the manufacturer?
In the easiest way imaginable. Simply
by putting a tax of fifty cents on every
barrel of beer made in New York
State. That's the next problem to be
tackled Before | retire from my three
years term as Senator, hope that not
one dollar will have to be raised by
direct taxation for State purposes. The
Inheritance tax, the corporation tax
the excise tax and the manufacturers
tax ought to bring in the S15,000,000
required to run the State government.
Then the people directly would have
only to be taxed to pay for local mat
ters and each community could raise
its local tax in its own way"

What Ia A Edition pv

"What constitutes an editiOn?" is 4
question that is frequently asked. and
nobody seem qualified to answer it
satisfactorily. The truth is that in 90
out of every 100 cases later editions
are merely servile prints of the first
edition, and there may have been 10000
copies of Il book made for the first
edition, or there may have been only
$50.
The first editions of all works by
Emile lola number 10000 copies each.
In a Paris shop, where only rare vol.
umes are sold, a first edition of LAS.
sOmmOir" is valued at 1O5 francs-say
t4-but this book came out at a time
when lola was comparatively I'M
known, and lola editions were then
limited to 1000 copies each.
In fact, in France an edition is sup
posed to consist of 1000 copies. hut
as Mr.. Robert III. Sherard says in Il re.
eel letter: "PubliSherS are not with.
out guile. and to whip up Il sale Il book
may be issued in editions of fifty cop
les. SO that by the time 1000 copies
have been disposed of the book is in
its twentieth edition. It'd Bits.
