Not TaxabIe.-The Appeal Tax Court
Judges, in Baltimore, on Tuesday gave it as
their opinion that savings bank books are
not to be taxed.
Instructions to this effect were given by
them to many of the assessors who called to
inquire whether bank books and certificates
of deposit in savings institutions should be
included by them in making returns of per-
sonal property.
The judges hold that to tax depositors for
would in effect be double taxation, as the
institutions themselves already pay fran
chise tax of one. fourth 81 one per cent. on
all deposits in their banks on the first of
each January.
The judges also state that, in their opinion
it was not intended that such bank-books
and certificates of deposit should be taxed,
or they would have been specifically men
toned in the reassessment law. The clause
under which it was believed that the bank
books could be taxed was that which levied
tax of 30 cents on the 500, in addition 10
State tax, on all "eVidences OF debt, OF
whatsoever form, issued by any corporation
incorporated by the laws of Maryland or
any other State" A bank. book was regard
ed by those who argued for this interpreta-
ton of the law as an evidence of debt due
from the bank to the depositor.
The Appeal Tax Court judges also hold
to their opinion because Of the fact that the
United States Supreme Court and othel
higher courts have frequently decided tina
money is not taxable.

In life's evening pleasing shadows
stand before my vision still,
Happy days of joy and sunshine,
In the school house on the hill.
In eighteen forty nine and fifty,
by Shermans Creek from Dugan's mill,
l ventured forth with much misgiving,
To teach the school on Psgah hill.
In the west the sun was setting,
AS with grip sack in my hand,
l arrived on Pisgah's summit
| And took survey of the land.
My limbs were tired, my journey ended,
My "boarding house" was now in sight !;
| AS listened, strains of music
| Waited from that mansion white.
Hope and fear my heart was swelling
While listened to the song;
A wish for home my bosom filling.
While tear drops from eye-lashes hung.
stopped moment undecided
Should venture on and in?
"rwixt fear and hope my heart divided,
AT last stepped forward, "sink or swim"
l was young and inexperienced,
Not yet arrived at "sweet sixteen"
But with all the courage in me
l gently knocked" and heard "Come in !"
received kindly welcome
From the inmates of that home.
No home on earth was ever better
Than that OF Joseph Heckendorn.
Father, mother, son and daughters,
Each was a model pure and sweet;
No Earring words, or notes discordant,
Fer were heard, or ears did greet.
In the evening and the morning
On Bonded knees we sought the Lord,
AS the dear old father lead us,
In prayer and reading of the Word.
On Monday morning, bright and carly,
Started !, with key in hand,
Unlocked the door, and opened shutters,
kindled fire, then took my stand.
Soon my pupils, big and little,
Came in groups, or one by one
With smile and kind "good morning."
My work as teacher now begun.
The Browns the Wolfs and the McClintocks,
Jacobs, Smiley, Heckendorn,
Souder, Cleland and Mahaffie,
Names recorded on that morn.
Bates and German, also Shearer,
Some cannot now recall;
Also Fennicle and Trostle
Were on that list, nor is that all
Five and forty years have vanished
Since that bright October morn;
From mind and heart can meier re banished
Lilies lessons began to learn.
| have heard the noise of battle
And the dreadful rebel yel
Nothing e'er so much impressed me
AS what learned on Pisgah hill
There met such love and kindness
Old and young, and rich and poor,
Dld their utmost To beIrlend me
Rendering my success secure.
In that church beside the school house
All did meet on Sabbath days;
Worshiped God aud heard the Gospel,
Joined in prayer and sang Gods praise.
In that church yard near the school house
Forms once filled with human love,
Now are crumbing, free their spirits,
Ranging golden streets above.
Near that house 'mong alder bushes,
kneeling on the snow crust there,
Early on one Monday morning
God did answer my poor prayer.
Gave me peace and pardoned freely
All my sins and made me pure;
Clothed me with full salvation,
Bid me rest in him secure.
When rise from earth to heaven
l will cast my eyes once more
Where | knelt and rose forgiven,
Where entered the opened door.
When inside the gate celestial
Happy spirits crowd me round,
| am sure my friends from Pisgah
Will among the throng be found

more City, the decree is reversed and cause
remanded in an opinion by >the Court of
Appeals. Judges Fowler and Page concur
in the opinion in so far as it holds that
building association mortgages ara not sub
ject to taxation under the act of 1896, but
they do not deem it necessary at this time
to pass on the constitutionality OF those sec
tons of the general assessment law impos
ing taxes on the income Of mortgages. The
opinion per curSana is as follows: ain this
case an effort is made to test the constitu
tionalty of public revenue law by suit
between individual litigants. Because of
the great public interest of the questions
which have been argued we will express an
opinion upon them, but we do not wish to
be understood as establishing precedent for
such mode of practice in future cases.
ave think that sections AGA, 146B, 146C,
chapter 100, are constitutional and valid.
1--WE think that section 80 of article 23 of
the Code OF Public General laws, as amend
ed by the act OF 1894, has not been repealed
by the act of 1896 so far as building or home.
stead associations are concerned; and that
their mortgages and the mortgage debts
thereby created are exempt from taxation
We will hereafter file an opinion which

GER. GOMEZ is A SICK MAN.
The Insurgent Leader is Suffering from
Consumption.

Havana, Jan. 24-For some time
past reports have been in circulation
here concerning the physical condi-
tion of Gen. Maximo Gomez, comman-
der-in-chief of the insurgent forces.
One story asserted that he was suffer-
ing from wounds, and another that he
was seriously i'll with fever. 1t appears
from information derived from trust
worthy sources that neither of these
reports are correct, but it is positively
asserted that the insurgents chief is a
very sick man.
The doctors in attendance recently
held consultation and diagnosed his
case as being an advanced state of con
Sumption, complicated with fever. The
physicians have come to the conClu-
sion that Gomez can only live about
two months longer. These statements
have caused considerable alarm among
the insurgents and their friends.
Reports continue to be received of
small engagements with the insur-
gents in all directions, indicating that
they are no longer united in main
body, but are broken up into small
parties. confident of their ability to
evade any Spanish force that they are
not strong enough to oppose.
The insurgent leader, Miranda, is
reported to have been killed at Como
jas, in Matanzas.
The important town of Sabinilla on
the railroad south of the city of
Matanzas, has been attacked by the in
surgents. No details of the damage
done to property nor are claims stated
as to the success of the resistance, but
it is said that three of the volunteer
soldiers were killed and ten of the civil
guard were wounded The insurgents
are said to have lost seventeen killed.
