STORM DAMAGE LARGE
MANY FAMILIES IN DENvER WENT
suPPERLEss TO bed.
Telephone syatem Almost Anniht-
lated-scrioas Interruption to
Railroad Traffic.

Denver, Colo, October 27.--The blisxarA
which began Monday night lasted until
early this morning. During tho night the
storm gradually abated and at O'Clock
this morning the snow ceased falling.
Not only did the storm cause universal
discomfort, but 1t inflicted heavy pecuni-
AIRY loss as well. In one item OF broken
telegraph and telephone poles the damage
foots up to $4,000 To this must be added
the heavy expense entailei upon the street
railways in attempting to keep their rail-
ways open and the loss to the merchants
In the way Of business. Many q family
dined on tea and crackers or went to bed
last night without any dinner at all. Gro
cerymen could not deliver goods.
The streets were piled up with snow and
presented curious spectacle this morn
Ing. There Is hardly street In the city
over which there Is not at come point a
tangle of fallen telephone and electric light
wires. On all sides broken poles hang in
mid air or peer from big snow drifts. II Is
estimated throughout the State that no
less than 5000 wires are strewn on the
ground. Manager Field OF the Colorado
| Telephone company said
"Outside OF the business districts where
our wires have been placed under ground,
our system In Denver has been practically
annihilated."
The City Cable company managed TO
keep its cars moving throughout the storm.
but the tramway lines were brought to n
complete standstill.
The Denver and Gulf was the only rail-
road that succeeded In getting train
over the divide to Colorado Springs and
| Pueblo yesterday, and It's officials are
proud OF the achievement. Trains from
the south are coming In today, twelve to
fifteen hours late. The Denver and Rio
Grande succeeded In opening its main line
last night Shortly after midnight the ro-
tary snow pillow was started pushed by six
passenger trains, which should have ar
rived In Denver at different hours during
the day yesterday. beginning with
O'clock
The mountain roads escaped the full
fury of the storm and trains on them ran
nearly on time. The Burlington and other
Eastern roads were kept open by means
Of snow plows and trains were sent oui
last night as usual.

THE PRINCETON INN.
Professor Shields VIII Omit the
Presbyterian Church..

Professor Shields VIII OMIT the
Presbyterian Church.
New York, October ga dispatch to
the Tribune from Princeton says: The
published announcement that the Rev
DR.. Charles Woodruff Shields. professor of
the harmony of science and revealed rellg-
ion in Princeton university, had decided to
withdraw from the Presbyterian church,
caused a sensation in university circles. The
severe attacks Of the Voice, the we'll
known temperance organ, on Professor
Shields because he had signed the applica-
ton for liquor license for Princeton inn,
are said to have been the primary cause
OF DR.. Shields determination TO leave the
church. When the various synods. follow
ing the line of the article in the Voice,
further criticised Professor Shields. he
decided to announce his intention at once.
Beyond the bare statement that he will
leave the church, according 10 the con-
stitutional customs DR.. Shields will say
nothing for publication.
The circumstances which led up to Dr.
Shields determination tc~leave the church
are these: About five months ago the IL
cenSe or the Princeton I'M eAplTtu anu III
order to get a renewal 1t was necessary
TO have a petition signed by dozen prop
erty holders living on the same street on
which the inn was located. The signers
were secured and also the license. 1t hap
pened that on the petitions there appeared
the names of xPresident Grover Cleve'
land and Professor Shields.
The Voice published several attacks on
Princeton university in regard to the man.
ner in which the inn was conducted and
also commented severely on Professor
Shields. These attacks were In such an
exaggerated strain that several proninen'
Princeton alumni wrote reports defending
the position OF the university and revealing
the true state of affairs.
The Princeton Inn was first opened tc
the public about five years ago. 1t wac
built by prominent alumni CT frincetor
university and lie considered one OF th'
finest hostelries OF the country. the head
quarters CT the great crowds Of alumni ant
their friends who come back to the uni
yersity to attend such affairs as com

games The inn has always been under IN

| dsnte have all been highly colorcd. Thou

A Tax ON Appearances.

Baltimore Sun.
For soma time back the income Of the
State OF Massachusetts, has been made
q,bate TO the demands and commission
was appointed to devise some scheme for
increasing revenues. This commission has
prepared and recommended the enactment
OF an income tax bill Of novel kind. The
title 70 the bill Is IAN act imposing a tax
en- occupants OF habitations." II Is said
that more accurate title would be IAN
income tax based on the mode OF life."
1t Us assumed that man living In line
has a large income, and he Is taxed
upon the income he Is supposed 10
have. The rate Is 10 per cent Of the esti-
mated rental value OF the habfation in
excess OF $500 a year. Thus n man who
lives in house which the assessors think
should rent for $500 year has 10 pay an
income tax OF $40. II the rental value OF
the house is $1,000 the tax IS 500 year.
IL man has two residences. city home
and country home. each worth $.t0o
rental. his tax would be $3.50. The tax
must be paid whether tho person owns the
property or rents 1t. II he owns II. %
course, he must pay, 30 we presume. Inc
real estate tax upon it's value. and IN ad-
dillon the income tax upon the rental
value. II would seem that persons IN mod-
crate circumstances who Hive In houses
| which rent for less than $500 a year tHcape
| tho tax altogether. and . rich man can
a.so escape by being content 70 live IN
| $500 home Such taxes as these are dan
| geiors experiments. In the olden time
| there was window tax upon dwellings IN
| England. The result was that In order
| to escape that tax people deprived them-
| selves Of sufficient light and ventilation py
building houses without windows. II may
be that the effect OF this way Of esti-
mating mems income may cause them 20
build cheaper houses, and 70 retard I'M
| provement and In measure deprive me
| chanics OF employment.
