ANOTHER INTERESTING FIND.
Old Indian Relic Picked Up on the Warren Estate-A Bit of History.

Old Indian Relic Picked Up on the
 Warren Estate--A Bit of History.
 An interesting Indian relic, of native granite, and aboriginal construction, has been found on or near the oblong adjoining the woodland estate of the family of the grandmother of Dr. Ma than B. Warren, who was buried in Troy, Wednesday of this week. Dr. Warrens immediate family includes members prominent in high metropoli- tan circles to-day, while his grand mother and maternal great grandpar- ents had place in Colonial Norwalk days. The old home property is reached by a drive of some nine or so miles from the present Norwalk bridge and lays in one of the picturesque sec tions of Fairfield county. Here the doctors great grandfather and his De-
 Forest wife spent their married life un- til the Revolution, when both removed to the provinces. Returning after the war and finding that the colony had made a general confiscation of their estate the family seat seems to have been broken up. The father it Is claimed, was killed at his door step while the mother left Ndwalk and married, in the kings possessions, an officer of the loyal army. Of her chill dren by her first husband one was the grandmother of the late Dr. Nathan B. Warren and another of the present Col onel LeGrand B. Canno, of the Union League, New York city, who with Dr. Warren's niece, Mrs. Robert Goelet, of Newport, was present at the funeral Wednesday. The curious Indian Temain" will, it is expected, be one of the contributions to a forthcoming red mems monument nlnt-NOrMalk Hour.

TO INTERNAL REVENUE COMMIS-
 SIONERS.
Circular Letter Sent Out from Wash

 Circular Letter Sent Out from Wash
 ington.
 Washington, Sept. 5.-Commissloner N. B. Scott of the office of internal rev. enue has addressed the following self explanatory letter to collectors of inter- nal revenue:
 Letters addressed to this office from all parts of the United States by per- sons who have become liable for spe- cial taxes under the provisions of the second section of the act of June 13, 1898, and who, having failed to make the prescribed return form ID under oath within the calendar month in which their liability began, have been called upon by collectors to pay 50 per cent. in addition to the tax, clearly show that these persons, while aware of their special tax liability under the new (war revenue) act, had no knowl- edge of notice whatever that it was their duty, under section 3237 R. s., amended, to make sworn returns re- garding the business to the collector or deputy collector not later than the last day of the calendar month in which their liability began.
 The war revenue act gave them full notice as to their special tax liability, but gave them no information of the requirement that they should make for nal sworn returns to the collector within the time prescribed by section 3237 R. s., as amended by section 53 of the act of October 1, 1890
 There being nothing in the new law specially calling the attention of the public to the provisions of section 3237 R. S., amended, as applicable to these new classes of special taxpayers, it would be manifestly negotiable and unjust to regard the mandatory provi- sion of section 3176 R. s. as requiring imperatively the addition of 30 per cen tum to the taxes due in these cases, as if they were on the same footing with special taxpayers under the old law, who have had for many years complete information as to what is required of them, not only through published off, cial notices, but also through the ex- press terms of the law itself and the regulations and instructions issued hereunder.
 Collectors are accordingly hereby au- thorized and directed for this time, in all cases of persons who had neither no- tice nor information that they are re- quired to make sworn returns within the calendar month when their liability began, and who consequently failed to make such returns, to report the facts In these cases in their next lists for as- sessment of the special tax without the 50 per centum penalty, and to refer to this circular letter as their authority for doing so. This is not to be extend ed to cases hereafter arising.
 In each particular case of this kind, therefore, notice had been given that hereafter for any neglect or failure to make such return, without the excuse of sickness or absence (the only ex- cuse provided for by section 3176 R. S.), the 50 per centum penalty must be as- sessed and collected.
 General notice hereof should be so given by collectors for the information of the public.

OBITUARY.
The Late Edward J. Glennon.

Edward J. Glennon, who died at his home, 264 West Carlisle street, Sunday, after a short illness, was a member of Israel Putnam lodge, A. O. U. w., and was an old Sarsfeld Guard member. He had worked for the Henry Hooker Co.,, carriage manufacturers, for twen- ty years, at his trade, harness making, and previously worked for Atwater and other barness makers. He was a faithful, reliable man. He leaves a widow and three children. A sad feat ure of the case is the fact that one of his boys is in the Third regiment at Mantle and cannot get away to his fathers funeral. His brother went up to camp to see if by any means he could get the lad away in time to see his father before he died, but could not. The funeral services will occur this afternoon with a requem mass at the Sacred Heart church, and many of the old associates of the deceased at the Hooker factory will meet at the factory and proceed in a body to the church to attend the last sad rites.

DECLINED, WITHOUT THANKS.

L w IloO lI1fA1Nhos
 Somebody is always proposing to al- tar immemorial usage in proper names. We are told that we ought to say An glo-Celt' instead of Anglo Saxon" A still more remarkable suggestion is that, as the United States of America t1o not comprise the whole of that continent, we should take ''U. S. A." as a proper name, and call the United States "Usa," and their inhabitants s.IJsans.'' It was wrong to speak of the war between American and Spain, for Spain has been at war with only me of the twenty American govern ments. and not with all the nations from Cape Horn to the North pole" The gentleman who wants this misun- derstanding removed is good enough to add that 'ff one or two of the daily pa ners would make use of the word Usa when alluding to that part of America comprised in the United States, the N ord Usa would be found so convenient taht it would very quickly be generally sdopted." We fear this view is rather sanguine The only papers likely to recommend "Usa" for general adoption are the comic papers, and even they would probably tire of the joke after the second repetition.-London News.

 The interest of the New Haven peo- pie in the soldiers now being cared for at the hospitals does not stop at their pocketbooks.

Wallace of the Grace hospital announces that the col lections deposited during those two days amounted to S9.9S. This money will be used to supply additional com forts and luxuries to the soldiers.
