Motor Cars Not Expensive to 0per-
ate,

The new Reeves motor car, the in
Vention of Mr.. o. Reeves, of Columbus
Ind, has been given a second test over
the Columbus and Cambridge branch
OF the Pennsylvania line from Colum-
bus, Indiana, to Shelbyvllle. Mr..
Reeves with party of friends was in
charge OF the car. Speed was not at
tempted yet the speed Indicator show
ed 30 miles an hour over some
stretches of level road.
This special car is thirty-two feet
long. The motive power is an i'm
provised gasoline engine. The engine
and trucks bearing it weigh 1850
pounds, and are at one end. The
shape of the car is that of a modern
street car, with the ends vestlbuled
The feature relied on to make the mot
or useful is speed at low cost
About a week ago the car made its
first public appearance. The run that
day was from Columbus to Clifford,
and the test was satisfactory. The sec
ond test has even been better. The
engine is forty-five horse power, and
consumed only four and half gallons
of gasoline in an hour--this at slow
or high rate of speed. No odor
reaches the occupants of the car.
There is no annoyance from smoke or
cinders. and the car is without the

this car develops and maintains the
required speed, it Is to be placed on
this branch of the Pennsylvania sys-

important Revenue Decision.


Collector White is in receipt of the
following letter from the Commission
er OF Internal Revenue as to the prop
er amount OF revenue tax on certain
kinds OF oil leases, which decision is of
interest to oil men,
This Office is in receipt Of your let
ter of march is, 1899, in which you
state that oil leases are usually given
for two years or so hong thereafter as
oil or gas may be found in paying
quantities., You asked to be advised
whether lease so worded requires a
SOC or s1.00 documentary stamp.
"In reply you are informed that un-
der these circumstances these leases
should be stamped with a $1.O0 docu-
mentary stamp because under them
the lessee acquires the right to oper-
ate the wells and use the land for a
period exceeding three years"

same as the original
Where an assignment is only for a
partial interest In a lease the assign
ment of a partial interest is also taxed.
A recent case in this district was
where party assigned one-third in
terest in twenty-eight leases by one
instrument, !. The department ruled as
follows in that particular case:
First, that an assignment Of an in
terest in lease is subject to taxation;
and .
Second, that in order to determine
the tax in this instance computation
should be made as to the tax which
would accrue II all the twenty-eight
leases were assigned separately, ac-
cording TO the unexpired term of each
lease; having found this amount, one
third OF the same Is the tax that Is ap-
plicable to the instrument which In
this instance is operative as an as
signment OF one-third interest In the

Oil men canot not be too particular
in seeing that their oil leases are prop

In co-education schools 1t would
seem to me that the girls might easily
form a public opinion, with the aid of
the boys who disapprove cigarettes
and kindred follies, which would go
far to save the tempted from yielding

Soldiers of Humanity.


Attention, with respect to the Philip
pines, is just now eentered upon the
achievements of the army operating in
its normal capacity against a body of
insurgents who refuse to recognize the
authority of the United States But,
though little is said of it in the dis
patches that reach this country, there
can be no doubt that ths army is op-
eRating in double capaGity-that 1t is
fighting those it must fight and treat
ing with characteristic humanity those
who submit themselves to the mercy
of the United States. The American
soldier does not fight for the sake of
killing. Destruction and confistlca-
bion are means, not an end. When
ever opposition is broken down, there
is the kindly ministration of the
strong to the weak, of the chivalrous
to the despairing. 1t was so in the
fighting at Santiago and at other
points against the Spaniards; it should
be even more so and doubtless is more
so in the unhappy conflict with the Fill
ipinos.
Every now and then in the dis
patches from Manila, there is a
glimpse of this other side of the Am
erican soldier-the surprise of some
captive at not being Immediately shot
or of some unfortunate left behind by
the fleeing insurgent force at receiving
humane treatment instead of wanton
cruelty. To the latter they have been
accustomed in their relation with the
Spaniards, and their expectation of the
same sort of treatment at the hands
OF Americans is one of the elements of
the resistance noV being offered to the
United States army. Deceived and
misled by Aguinaldo, they have Joined

To Discover Arctic Currents.

An important experiment Is to be
made to determine the course taken by
artic currents, which may result sci
entists think, in demonstrating the
flow of certain disputed currents that
are believed to lead toward the north
pole. by direction of the Navy Depart
ment, the Geographical Society of
Philadelphia is permitted to place on
the revenue cutter Bear, which sails
from San Francisco in April for arctic
waters, a number of casks, to be set
adrlft near Herald Island, for the pur-
pose of learning the drift they take, by
which valuable photographic informa-
ton relative to the arctic seas and
currents may be obtained.
This project is the outcome of plan
proposed by Admiral Melville before
the society. 1t is the Admirals belief
based on the drift of the Jeanette
that the place to put ship bound for
the pole is through Behring Starit and
then to push the ship into the pack as
far as possible northward and west
ward. Though not necessarily drifting
across the pole, he states in all prob
ability ship, float or cask would
come out by way of Spitzbergen. HS
suggested the feasibility of the drift
casks to accomplish the drift without
risk Of life.
Mr.. Henry G. Bryant, President of
the Philadelphia Society, had by his
efforts in the preparatory work so
identified himself with this project
that it is now scientifically known as
the "Melville-Bryant Drift Cask."
Captain Kautz, of the navy, represent
ed the society at San Francisco and at
tended to the shipment of the casks,
placing 35 on the whaling vessels and
Is on the Bear. Bach cask was given
separate number for means of iden-
titication. The casks are conical-
shaped floats, securely made Each
contains a wooden-encased tube or
bottle tightly corked, in which are dl-
rections for the finder.
The directions are printed in four
languages on specially prepared, inde-
stpctible paper They have spaces to
insert the name of the finder, vessel,
longitude, number of cask and
other necessary data. If the casks are
launched 1t will probably
be four years or more before they may
be looked for between Spitzbergen
and Greenland Coasts. Scientists gem
orally are taking keen interest in the
experiment. Sun.

Shortly after midnight young man on
the way to his home in the Fourth ward
passed along Oak street to Chestnut, and
then south on the east side OF the latter
street to Juneberry alley, when he started in
sOuthwesterly direction. He got
about midway across Chestnut street
when he heard some one say
There is - -; we eau do

search of Juneberry alley and the yards at
the rear of the Oak street residences failed TO
reveal any trace of the parties. The residents
of the neighborhOod were awakened during

became very nervous over the affair.
Some of the occupants of one of the
houses was confident that she saw four men
acting mysteriOusly in one of the yards and

presence by striking matches. 1t was
learned, however, that the parties seen were

The jury found that Willis Stiegerwalt and
William Heninger were equally guilty with
Oil in not removing the dangerous obstruc-
tion from the rails and they were accord
ngly committed TO the county prison until
the Grand Jury confers upon the bill.
Coroner Dugan interpreted the law 70
mean that Obi was guilty Of murder and
that Stiegerwalt and Heninger we're acces-
sories before and after the fact He based
his decision on the Act of Assembly Of 1891.
His action in committing the trio to prison is
disputed by W. f. Sheppard, who repre-
sented Stiegerwalt, and an effort will be
made to secure a writ Of habeas corpus 70 re-
lease the prisoner. Oil is under g., 500 bail

Coroner Dugan said he was surprised that
the Schuylkill county authorities were so
lenent with Steigerwalt and Heninger, as to
not hold them in part responsible for the loss
of life In his mind, both these persons
were guilty Of criminal act in not remov-
ing the spike. 1t was beyond his compre-
hension, said the official that a sane person
would not know the dangerous nature Of
such an object on the rails in front of a

her home was in Beaver Valley and that her
mother had sent her out to work. When
asked her name the girl, after some hesita-
tion, said it was Gertie Blew. Her story did
not appear to be very straight one and she
could not tell the christian names Of her
parents. Mrs. Hess pitied the girl, however,
and decided to give her trial. When the
article appeared in last nights HERALD Mr..

A Grand Success.

The picnic held at Columbia park, under
the auspices of that popular organization,
the National Social Club, was grand success,
financially and socially. In fact. the result
far exceeded the expectations of those in
charge of the picnic. From the time the
Reilly orchestra struck its first notes to the
closing waltz the attendance was exceedingly
large, the dancing platform being taxed to
accommodate those who delight in tipping
the light fantastic. The members of the
club. who have earned the reputation of en-
tertsiniug their friends in royal style, are TO
be congratulated upon the success of their
picnic on Tuesday, and as a result their
treasury is added TO materially.
