THE NEW WAR TAXES
COMPARED w,rHrHosE oF,seo
a Great Many Thing. That We're FAXED
Then Are Free Now.

The main features cs this law Will
natur- " be compared with the sue
cessive revenue laws of the civil war
period, and nothing Will be more no.
ticeable In such IN examination than
the large number of possible sources
of revenue which have been passed
over on the present occasion. Inc
greatest similarity between the reve-
nue. systems of that war and of this
is In the stamp taxes. Nearly all the
business documents formerly subject
to duty have been included In the
present act, though in many cases ut
lower rates than before, and Few
additions have been made. But instead
of the few articles now taxed under
schedule b, the excise formerly applied
to a long list of manufactures and
other products, including such articles
of common use rs coal and oil, gas,
candles, ground coffee and spices, cot
ton, sugar and confectionery, choco-
late and cocoa, salt, slaughtered ami
mails. furniture, umbrellas and photo
graphs; and the rates were high
enough to make II decided difference
in retail prices. Over against the busi-
ness taxes now imposed upon n few
occupations must be set long list OF
W NhiCn Ntlt lVlihNI
ed from to 5 per cent. on their gross
receipts. and n still longer list of occu-
pations reached by means of license
taxes. Thus the tax on gross receipts
applied to railroads, steamboats,, ferry
boats, toll bridges and toll roads. tele-
graph, express and Insurance compan-
les. lotteries, theaters and museums,
while the license taxes applied under
the act of 1864 not merely to the occu-
pations previously enumerated, but al
so to every other trade, business and
profession. In addition to the tax on
legacies, there was succession tax
applying to real estate. Finally, be-
sides the income tax, there was Il
whole system of direct consumption
taxes on such articles of pleasure and
luxury as yachts. carriages, pianos,
private billiard tables, gold and silver
plate, and watches.
1t has been said that contemporary
budgetary history makes no like eX-
hibft OF unopened resources and unem-
ployed powers" Tho new law serves
rather to emphasize this statement
than otherwise, by showing that even
in war 1t is not necessary to tax every
thing taxable, or even everything
which might easily bear taxing. The
taxes imposed are certainly not exces-
sive. and it is quite possible that some
portions of the act will be found 50
satisfactory that 1t will be advisable
to retain them ns permanent sources
of revenue in time of peace. to take
the place of the income tax, which
has been declared unconstitutional

EVERY WATCH A COMPASS.

How to Tell the Direction When the
Sun Is Shining.
Very few people are aware of the fact
that in watch they are always pro-
vided with a compass. with which,
when the sun is shining, the car
dina' points can be determined. All
one has to do is to point the hour hand
to the sun and south is exactly half
way between the hour hand and the
figure 12 on the watch. This may
seem strange to the average reader, but
it is easily explained. While the sun is
passing over $50 degrees (east to west)
the hour hand of the watch passes
over 800 degrees from 6 o'clock to 6
o'clock. Therefore the angular move
ment of the sun in one hour corre-
spends to the angular movement of the
hour hand in Ealf an hour; hence, il
we point the hour hand toward the sun
the line from the point midway be-
tween the hour hand and - O'Clock
to the pivot of the hands will point
to the south.-San Francisco Chroni-

uniformed agents went to the doors,
begging the lady to open. There was
no answer, but Immediately afterward
the noise In the room ceased.
A little while later passers-by ran in
to the hotel. saying that a woman,
standing at the third-story window,
was about to throw herself to the pave
ment. Thereupon sanitary watch
and a fire and ladder company were
alarmed. Two immense ladders were
placed against the front of the house.
and two firemen ascended with their
apparatus. That done, one door of the
apartment was broken into. A physi-
clan and several policemen entered.
They found the rooms in great disorder.
Windows, mirrors and toilet sets were
broken to pieces and the upholstered
furniture was in rags, while articles of
female toilet, the contents of trunk
and various sums of money were pell
nell on the floor. OF the occupant not
sign.
The alleged Maria de Yandy was
finally discovered under the bed. She
wore only single garment and was
smoking cigarette, which latter
threatened to set the house on fire.
When spoken to the young woman
offered to follow the authorities, after
her toilet had been completed. She
said she desired to be dressed like
queen. and insisted that the most fash
ionable hair dresser of Cienna be call
ed in. Her demands were complied
with.
The papers found on the unhappy
woman proved that she is Marie Ia
mandy, the deserted wife of Rigo, the
fiddler, The pair were married in April,
1887.
The woman fought heroically Sor her
worthless husband when Princess Chi
may set out to capture him. She fol-
lowed the pair all over Europe, and
newspaper clippings found on her prove
that she was recently expelled from
Russia for causing disturbance at
St. Petersburg music hall where Rigo
and Clara Ward performed She re-
turned to Budapest with broken heart.
The insanity experts pronounce her
case as melancholy and doubt that she
will ever recover. Besides melancholy,
she suffers, it seems, from mania of
grandeur. She thinks, poor woman,
that she is a princess and that her hus-.
band will take her back, now that she
is of the same rank as Chimay.
Where she 9bta!ged the several
thousand francs found on her has not
yet been ascertained. 1t Is said to be
part Of the sum which Clara Ward paid
fer her gypsy lover. Marie is 35 years
old and Vienna unites in pronouncing
her infinitely more beautiful than Prin-
cess Chimay. In the poor woman's
trunk copies of several thousand letters
were found, which she appears to have
addressed to Rigo and Princess Chimay
for the last year and half. The wo-
man will be sent to Hungary there to
be placed in public insane asylum un-
til such a time when Rigo can be appre-
hended and made to pay for her proper
maintenance, for 1t is, of course, untrue
that Rigo obtained a divorce from the
woman. He merely left her and his
children.
