Rev. a. Friesen, n missionary who
was born in South Russia educated in
Germany. and who is supported by the
Russian Mennonites as a missionary to
the Teluyus in India. delivered an ad-
dress at the Central Baptist church last
evening. In the course of his talk. Mr..
Friesen, who he's ready command
of the English age, said that he
was very much surprised to see how lit
tie Americans knew about Russia. They
had heard of the darker side, Of the
persecution of the Jews. but nothing
OF the great spiritual movement going
on there now. Alexander, the first
Gar of the present century, was con-
verted, regenerated Christian.
He then spoke of the condition of the
heather in India. some OF whom, he
said, were lower than the very beasts.
They commit the vilest debauchery and
sins in connection with their religion
and think they are thereby pleasing
their gods. He closed with an interest

periences in the mission field'of India.

USE OF REVENUE STAMPS.
Important and Far-RsaohIng Decision Made BY
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue.

The Commissioner OF internal reve-
nue. has recently given a decision,
which is OF the utmost Importance TO
all persons who are called upon 10 make
use of revenue stamps upon written in-
struments. This decision confers upon
COLLECTORS Of Internal revenue the right,
where an instrument was not stamped
through accident mistake. inadver-
tence or urgent necessity, and without
wilful design to defraud, TO remit the
penalty and cause The instrument TO be
stamped.
1t Will be readily seen of really how
much Importance such a decision is, for
the lack Of stamps impairs the validity
OF instruments. The amendment by the
act OF February Is, 1875, TO the war
revenue act of the civil War. is de-
clared 10 be still in force. This pro-
Nides that where the collector was
satisfied that the omission 20 stamp an
instrument was unavoidable. and was
not made with intention TO defraud the
government from the stamps, the col
lectOr could issue stamps upon presen-
tation OF the instrument within IL cal
endar months from the date of its eX-
ecution, and could remit the usual
penalty for noncompliance with the
law.
In the last number OF the Treasury
Decisions is given the recent decision
of the United States Circuit Court for
the northern district of California, I'm
the case of j. Waldere Kirk vs.. the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
The suit was brought 60 determine the
liability for the stamp on q telegram
and the court decided that il is the duty
OF the maker and signer of the tele-
gram to afiiX and cancel the stamp. \
decision 10 the effect that express COM
panies are not required to afliX the
stamp on express matter, has already
been rendered and the tax. intended
by Congress To fall upon the corpora
tions, has already been fastened upon
the customers.
Some time ago the question of inn
posing a tax upon the so-called Italian
bankers in this city, was submitted TO
the local revenue Office but nothing was
done an the matter pending the uncer-
tainty OF law. Now, however, ii seems
TO be decided that these men will have

The price paid for the plant could not

the sum was quite a large one. '.he

a mortgage on il for 100000 and the n

value is said to be larger. President
