Paying and Giving.

There is an interesting story asso-
ciated with the great Cardinal Borro-
meo, who was noted for his charities
to the poor. Cardinal Giulio had shown
to him the vast palace which he mad
just finished. When he was departing,
Borromeo, who had been silent while
inspecting the building, said: Your
Eminence. have been rejecting that
the huge sums spent on this palace
might have been given to the poor"
Your eminence," replied Giulio, they
have been all given to the poor; and cur
notions of charity differ. ! pay the poor
for their labor, and your eminence for
their iGlenesS.'
The reply. uttered more than four
hundred years ago, is now the rule of in
telligent philanthropists, who would
help the poor to help themselves, and
restrain them from becoming pauperS.-

WAR REVENUE BILL.
The Measure Almost Ready for
Report to the Senate.

WASHINGTON, May 11.-With the
exception of a few administrative fea-
lures, the war revenue bill is ready for
report to the Senate. This report prob
ably Will be made tomorrow. though
consideration of the measure Will not
be BEGUN before Monda-. With the
assistance OF Senator Jones of Nevada,
the Democrats had control of the FL
nance Committee. and adoDted their
amendments, which include a corpora
tion tax of one-ouarter of l per cent,
provision for the coinage of the seign-
forage and the issuance of $3.50, 900, 900
of greenbacks.
1t required only little more than an
hour for the committee to dispose of the
Democratic amendments. 1t was soon
made evident that Senator Jones of
Nevada would vote with the Demo-
Gratis on all amendments, and his vote
turned the scale against the ReDubh-
cans They did not enter into a stub
born struggle to prevent this consum-
nation The vote to strike out the
bond feature stood 6 to D, Jones voting
With the Democrats. Senator Morrill,
Rep.) and Vest Dem) were paired.
The amendments for the issuance of
greenbacks, the coinage of the silver
seigniorage and the taxation of cor
porations were all incorporated by the
same vote
The Democrats changed their rate on
corporations at the last minute, reduc-
ing it from one-half to one-quarter of /
per cent. They made this reduction
because of the uncertainty as to the
amount OF revenue the amendment
would produce. It was the generally
expressed opinion that the sum would,
even at this low percentage. be very
large, but there was no opportunity for
approximating the figure.
This provision is a very; comprehen-
sive one. It covers all corporations,
with few exceptions, imposing a tax
of one fourth of l per cent. upon the
gross receipts. The exceptions are
charitable, educational, religious and
-elemosynary institutions, and strictly
mutual benefit associations, which are
exempted, the exemption of mutual
concerns bein- made SO as to include
only those which can loan money to
their own members.
Building and loan associations We're
exempted from the operation of the
bill, but the House provision dealing
with this matter was changed and the
language of the exemption in the Will
son-Gorman Act practically substituted
for it.
There was some discussion of the beer
tax during the day, but it was decided
to leave the matter as it passed the
House, with an increase of the rebate
from 5 to ~ per cent
The provisions in regard to the tax
alton of bankers and brokers, bills Of
lading, Inheritance futures" proprie-
tary medicinal articles, etc, were left
as previously fixed.
The House provision for a tax on
mineral waters was stricken out en-
tirely.
1t was decided to-day to increase the
tax on leaf tobacco from u cents, the
House rate, to 16 cents per pound, and
to exempt the stock on hand from the
operations of the Act.
The Finance Committee also decided
to recommend a reduction of the tax
on cigars from 81 to So 80 per thou
sand, and on cigarettes from So to
81 90 e...--,. ,.t--r

Second Days Proceedings of the
Grand Lodge.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 11.-At the
second days proceedings of the forty
sixth session of the Grand Lodge, I.
o. o. F., opened at Odd Fellows Hall
to-day, Grand Patriarch o. w. Erie
wine was presented by Past Grand
Patriarchs S. B. Smith and William H.
Barnes, and was introduced to and well
coined to a seat by Grand Master
Drew.
spirited discussion arose upon an
appeal case involving the following
point:
If a brother on an investigating COM
mittee reports favorably on the appli-
cant, recommending him as worthy of
admission, and subsequently votes
against said applicant, and influences
others to vote likewise, so that said
applicant is rejected, does not the
brother so acting violate the fraternal
law and should he not be punished un-
der the rules of the order?
This case also involves the question
of the secrecy Of the ballot, etc. The
decision was, in brief, that the right to
vote and to influence others to vote was
an inherent right of a brother not to
be restrained.
The appeal of Henry Cutting VS.. San
Andreas Lodge, No. 80, was sustained,
after which a recess was taken.
Rules and decisions of the subordi-
nate lodges occupied the time of the
Grand Lodge during the afternoon.
The Grand Assembly of the Rebekahs

THREE PERSONS CREMATED.
Terrible Results of a Fire at Phil.
adeIphia.

PHILADELPHIA Pa.), May IL
Three persons were burned to death to-
day and property amounting to SOD, -
QUO destroyed by fire, which originated
in the big six-story building occupied
by McCadden Bros, wholesale dealers
in toys and fireworks, 619 Market
street.
The dead are: William McCadden, a
member of the firm; Charles Richard
son, packer; Miss Evelyn Caldwell,
stenographer.
Their bodies were found on the sec
ond floor in the rear of the building
and were so charred that it was i'm
possible to recognize them, but as all
the employees, with the exception of
those named, have been accounted for,
there can be no doubt of their identity.
There We're about 100 persons en-
ployed in the McCadden store and
nearly all managed to make their es-
cape before the flames reached the up
per stories.
On account of the inflammable ma
ture of the contents the big six-story
structure was mass of flames in less
than half an hour. The fire spread
quickly to the building on the east,
occupied by the Reading Hardware
Company, and the big building on the
west. occupied jointly by the National
Wall Paper Company and the Brain
erd & Armstrong Spool Silk Company.
The Fire Department sent in four
alarms, and in about an hour the fire
was gotten under control.
The MeCadden building was COM
pletely destroyed. and the other two
were badly damaged The entire stock
of the Wall Paper Company and Brain
erd & Armstrong Spool Silk Company
is rendered worthless by smoke and
water. The damage to the stock of the
Reading Hardware Company is NOM
inal, but the loss of the building
amounts to about S150,000
The fire is supposed TO have originat-
ed on the second floor of the McCadden
Bros building. The flames leaped
quickly to the upper floors. cutting off
the escape of the people in the upper
portions of the building in less than
five minutes. There was a wild rush
for the elevator and stairways. and 1t
is thought that not more than six per-
sons at the outside. and possibly only
the three whose bodies have already
been discovered, lost their lives. The
loss will reach about SOD, 900, well cov-
cred by insurance.

for the transport ship she was to have

tons sailing in advance is that Dewey
needs ammunition and stores which
will be rushed to him in large quanti-
ties on the Charleston. In view of
possible attack on Dewey by a Spanish
fleet sent through the SueZ Canal, the
Charleston will also be valuable as a
reinforcement
Meantime work on the transports is
being rushed, and they will be started
with the first installment of troops,
comprising 5000 men, at the earliest
possible moment. AT least as many
more will follow as soon as means for
their transportation can be provided.
Most Of the supplies needed for this ex-
pedition will be purchased here. The
expedition will be commanded, it is
stated, either by BrigadierGeneral An
derson or Major General Wesley Ier-

BY Children
METHODIST CHURCH BENEFIT

One of the prettiest entertain
ments ever given here occurred at
Union hall last night, under the
auspices of the Ladies' Aid society
of the Methodist church.
1t was called a grand Easter
carnival but perhaps would be bet
ter recognized as "Kirmesse.
1t consisted of series of tableaux,
in the most of which the partici-
pants were children. Some dane
ing of the minuet order and few
songs were introduced with excel
lent effect.
The performance opened with a
grand tableau, which was very cf-
fective. The hall was crowded
and the audience evinced its pleas
ure by frequent applause.
The second tableau was in some
respects the prettiest of all, all
though the actors were grown
ups They were Mesdames r.
d. Stewart, w. S. Widerfelt, and
Greer, and Misses Blunt, Cora
Blunt, Johnson, Sweet, Roberts
and Adrian. They represented
lilies and they succeeded most
gracefully.
The roses and butterflies were
next on the programme and a
number of children impersonated
respectively the flowers and the
insects in most effective fashion.
The very little ones who posed as
butterflies looked charming and
earned rapturous applause.
