case of personal integrity and business
honor which has come to light in that
city. In 1861 Mr.. Amos F. Emo was a
member of firm which failed shortly
after the war began. The stock was
sold, the debts paid pro rata and re-
leases were signed by the creditors
Now: after s. years, Mr.. Emo is paying
off the balance of all claims, with four
per cent. interest since 1861, amount
ing in the aggregate to about $500, 900.
Such cases as this tend to strengthen

The French have decidedly prac-
teal way of looking at new methods
of locomotion. No sooner was the BIZ
cycle established than a large revenue
producing tax was imposed on it, and
now it has been decided by the French
authorities to impose a tax on motor
cars, the tax apparently varying in
different parts, according to the density
of the population. In the large CEN
tiers of population the tax will be a
somewhat serious item, and in Paris it
amounts to $12 on vehicles for two pas
sengers, and $40 on larger vehicles.

bed chamber to that of her daughter,
Miss Helen Mckinley, to give the first
intimation of the attack, and at that
time seemed to be in possession Of all
mental and physical faculties, but soon
afterward a change was noticed, and
in the afternoon she sank into con-
dition Of semi-consciousness, in which
she has since remained.
The President Notified.
Mr.. Abner Mckinley communicated
with the president as soon as he learned
the serious nature of the illness of his
mother, and the president asked that
he be advised Immediately of every
change. Appointments were made for
communication by telephone, and tele-
grams were also exchanged frequently.
Soon after noon Mr.. Abner Mckinley
notified the president that the sufferer
had lapsed into semiconsciousness
and promised to communicate further
at five o'clock in the afternoon. The
president did not wait for the five
o'clock message. He responded: "Tell
