Illinois and In the Valley Above
St. Louis.
ST.LOUIS, Mo, March 22-The steady
doWnpour of rain for the past five
days has not excited alarm, but there
is strong probability that some re-
gions of the Mississippi valley will suf-
fer the disasters Of a flood. The fall
has been exceedingly heavy and for
the past 4S hours the river has risen
steadily at the rate of an inch an hour
The rain extends generally all over
Missouri and the eastern Mississippi
valley. The rainfall for March has
already passed the average fall Of 2.79
inches.
Tonight at midnight the river gauge
registered % feet, with a probability
that 1T would read 25 feet by morning
In the district south of the city along
the river, known as Little Oklahoma" 4"
the river is almost over the banks and
the inhabitants worked all day in the
pouring rain to remove their belong
ings to places Of safety Almost the
whole territory presents the spectacle
of a swamp, in places many acres be-
ing inundated.
At midnight the rain continued stead
lily and it was growing colder.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, March 22-The
heavy rains Cf the past few days have
flooded the creeks and rivers of Cen
trail Illinois until many of them extend
for miles in width. Several washouts
were discovered today on railroads.
Vandalia, ILL.,, March Pin conse-
quence Of the heavy rains, the Okaw
river and tributaries are spreading
over the entire Ohio bottoms. Tonight
the water lacks about IL inches of
reaching the high water mark of 1882,
andis rising at the rate Of an inch an
hour.
DELAWARE, O.. March 22-The
rain storm here tonight has proved to
be serious and destructive. People re-
siding near the Obentang river were
compelled to move out in carts and
boats because Of the rising water The
covered bridge connecting Central and
East Delaware may be washed away
before morning.
Millersburg, O., March 22.-The worst
floods since 1883 are now prevailing
here. The Kilbuck river is rapidly
rising and rain is still falling People
living in the low bottom lands are leav-
ing their homes. No trains arrived here
during the day.
Cincinnati, O., March 22-The heavy
rains have caused the Miami river to
overflow its banks here. The river
rose over foot today and Is still ris-
ing, and many people living along its
banks have commenced to move out of
their homes
Massillon, O., March 22-The Tus-
carawas river at this point is higher
than it has been for several years, and
is rising steadily at the rate of two
inches an hour.

TAXATION.

The taxation question is disturbing
the people Of Massachusetts, as it is
the people Of some other States. Some
Of the weaknesses of the present sys-
TEN of taxation were clearly and forci-
bly, exposed by Charles Francis Adams
in his talk before the legislatures COM
mittee on taxation. He told them that
they and the other members Of the
law-making body were suborners of
perjury as long as they permitted the
present law, taxing intangible proper
ty, to remain on the statute books. In
eastern countries, in order to find out
who has such property, they put sus-
pected people on the rack, and even
this physical torture was regarded by
Mr. Adams as preferable to the present
perjury in Massachusetts,. The law
says to every person that by making a
false statement he can save so much
money, and that by being honest he
will have to pay SO much more than he
ought to pay. AS long as human ma
ture is what it is considerable amount
Of evasion and perjury will occur every
time. AS remedy Mr.. Adams heartily
favored the recommendation of the
special tax commission that intangible
property be exempted from ordinary
taxation, and be taxed only when it is
passing through the probate office. The
difference from the present method
would be in less frequency, but in more
certainty of taxation. Mr.. Adams also
favored the proposed habitation tax,
believing that there is no fairer way to
get at the average mans ability to pay
taxes. Moreover, a rental tax cannot
be escaped. 1t will not lead people tc
modify their style of living to sufficient
| degree to make any practical differ
ence. 1t would relieve people in some
other way, and what they would lose
in one direction they would gain in an
other.

THE rAN1rY nooK Nor1oN.

A "vanity Book" is the latest notion,
and it isn't bad one. Male beings
can have Vanity Book, but somehow
or other the Vanity Book seems to
be more appropriate for members of
the nobler and more interesting sex
The idea of the Vanity Book is to
make it personal record, begun when
it's owner is born and finished only
when It's owner dies. Here Is the meth
cd, supposing the p-book to be kept
for a girl. When she begins her career
a big and substantial volume is pur-
chased to contain her record. The date
of her birth is entered. Then the gen.
ealogy of the family on both sides of
the house, as far back as it Is certain
ly known and entirely creditable Pho
tographs of the baby's parents and
grandparents are inserted. So are the
birth announcement card, letters re-
ceived apropos of baby, a photograph
of the house in which she was born,
the young ladys first portrait. All i'm
portant periods of baby's early career,
the date of her first tooth's appearance,
her first spoken word and the day,
hour and minute of its utterance,
when she began to creep, when she be-
gan to walk and so on are noted. To
the collection may be added her first
sock, her first little shoe, piece of her
| first colored dress, everything that
marks an epoch. AS time passes the
record of her school career goes into
the book. The keeping of the record is
| intrusted to her as soon as she is old
enough. Then appear her first invita-
ton. her first theater programme, a
piece of her first evening dress. OF
course a copy of every photograph she
has taken of her goes into the scrap
book. By and by appear the record OF
her wedding, the portraits of her ba-
bies, and, in course Of time. of theil

present an old lady (the owner of the
house, and her daughter, who had ar

played in Scotland for hundreds OF
years it has remained for this lively
country to turn out better golf clubs
than those made in Scotland, the birth
place and home of the game. United
States golf-clubs have been found so
superior to those made In Scotland that
eight thousand Of them have just been
ordered for use In that country. And
probably in a few years more golf
players from this country will be found
In Scotland teaching the Scots how
to play their own game in the best
way.
Next In smartness to people who can
make the best golf-clubs are the people
who know the best golf clubs when
they see them. So the Scots are all
right, and perhaps it will be claimed
that the makers of the best golf-clubs
are American citizens Of Scotch ances.

COOP w0RK ~ CHICAGO.

Little stir has lately been made about
storage battery traction, but 1T now APP
pears that a satisfactory threemonth
test of storage batteries as means of
in Chicago. The cars have been pro-
PEELED with the batteries for eight
months, but during three months re-
Gently the test was continuous and the
results are open to students of cleo
trical engineering. The advance made
in the operation Of the Chicago road
is described by the Railway and En-
gineering Review as follows: One
great defect in storage battery railway
experiments in the past, and which
able authority had predicted could not
be overcome, has been the failure of
the batteries to meet the heavy de-
mands of the service and endure q
period of sufficient length to reduce the
cost of maintenance to within a prac-
ticable figure. But from personal
knowledge of the operation of this
road, since its beginning, we have no
hesitation in pronouncing the scheme
complete success, so far as mechanical
performance Is concerned. The relia-
bility of the service performed by the
cars has been equal to what could have
been expected from the trolley or any
other system. The sets of batteries
operating two Of the cars put in service
during January, 1897, have been in con-
| tinuous use daily since that time,
| without renewal of plates, the only
expense for maintenance having ac-
crued for labor in cleaning the plates
| twice. This showing is even better
than the most sanguine expectation of
the promoters before indications of the
durability Of the batteries began to be
apparent. There can no longer be any
doubt concerning the ability of storage
batteries to withstand at least the de-
mands of such service as is met in
traction work on easy grades.
| This is encouraging. Perhaps by and
by the storage battery will be both eff
cient and cheap.

In London exists an institution called
the pawner. She is usually a middle
aged widow and f1ourishes in those
dismal localities where every other
house is let out in furnished apart
ments. Many of the people living in
these regions are poverty-stricken
women who have seen better days and
dread to enter a pawnshop. The pawn
er calls once or twice week upon her
clients, and when she departs her
satchel bulges with sundry articles
which she is commissioned to pledge.
She is paid a commission on the sum
raised, and hence it is to her interest
to haggle with the pawnshop-keeper.
AS rule she gets 1 penny for every
two shillings obtained. The business is
a paying one. One pawner boasts a
list of two hundred customers, people
who employ her to pawn articles of
wearing apparel on a certain day and
redeem it on Saturday. So busy is she
that her two daughters assist her.

for the construction at Kronstadt Of a
depot for the storage of "nasut," or
liquid fuel, for the burning Of which
the new Russian warships are being
fitted. The tanks in the depot will

Buck" Does Not Believe in Making
Catcher Stand Close Up All Through
the Game.

Will the new rule requiring catchers
to stand up close under the bat the en-
tire game that is almost sure to be
incorporated in the league rules at the
coming meeting, shorten the game and
give quicker action?
The promoters of the rule claim that
it will have the effect of cutting down
the time of a game all the way from
fifteen to twenty minutes Earl Wag-
ner will likely introduce the rule, and
he is enthusiastic about its adoption
He and a number cf other magnates
and experts insist that it viii make
the game full of fire and ginger, and
relieve it of "draggy spots" that now
exist by reason of the catcher's pill
grimages from the backstop TO the plate
on two balls or two strikes
Captain Ewing does not endorse the
proposed rule He is of the opinion that
it will not have the desired effect He
believes that time saved by eliminating
the ito and fro" walks of the knights
of the wind pad from the baokstop te
the plate will be more than offset by
the loss of time in other directions
"How about foul balls when the catch
er is up behind the bat?" said Captain
Ewing last night. Many a foul fly that
is now captured by the catcher when
he is back near the back stop will be
missed under the new order IF affairs
Time and time again foul lies come
straight from the bat to the catcher
hands. All these will be missed Then
there are other foul flies hit UP to one
side that are easy for the catcher when
he is back that he cannot get to when
he has to start from behind the plate
/ claim that the time saved by not
permitting the catcher to remain back
until two strikes or two balls have
been called will be more than offset
