urer of the Worcester Art Museum.
writes:
In the first part of the year 1898 it
was voted by the directors of the Wor-
cester Art Museum that any person
annually subscribing five dollars tow
ards the maintenance of the Art Muse

member. and be furnished with ticket
giving admission for two persons to an

vote was not generally known, for on
ly seventy-nine persons expressed a
desire to help in this manner the main

however. there are already one hundred

F0RSAKES HOME.
Chiara Demarco Leaves Her
Husband for Her
Old Lover.

Sunny Italy, with all its environ
ments for tales of love, can hardly pro-
duce a more complete romance than
was brought to light by the arrest of
Luigi Deangety and Chiara Demarco,
two subjects Of that country, last night,
by Inspectors Stone and O'Day.
Mrs. Demarco was arrested on com
plant Of her husband, Raffaelle De
marco. who is a laborer in Boston, and
he tells a story of devotion to his wife
that is second to none ever related with
in the pages Of a dime novel
In early days over on the peanut
farms Of Italy, Demarco, his wife and
Luigi worked together picking the
fruit TO be sold later red-hOt in Amer
lea, and here both loved the comely
Chiara. luigi was reckless sort OF
chap and would not save his money,
although ne could say nice things; but
in the long run Raffaelle won her and
after laying down the price, made her
his wife. He brought her to far away
America and settled down in Boston,
where he managed TO put away $500 Of
hard-earned money and raise family
Of six children.
Luigi wended his way to America also
and managed to secure rooms in
Bakers alley down in Boston near Chi
ara and her unsuspecting husband.
Luigi worked bit at carrying the bod.
Demarco would not consider for a mo-
ment the safety of any vault in the
banks of Boston. and allowed his wife
10 hold the money. He worked for more
than y years. and when Luigi found ont
that $500 had been saved, he invited
Mrs. Demarco 10 elope, October ? 1895
and she took him at his word. Taking
three children with her, together with
the $500. she boarded train for Albany
and after wandering around for a time
settled down in Troy.
RaffaeIle was nearly distracted when
he found that his wife had deserted
him, and he sought the service Of JOS
eph Pesetto. a Boston interpreter, and
started out on a still hunt for his better
half He found that she had left Troy
was carrying the nod in this city 10
help support his wife.
Yesterday afternoon Pesetto came to
Worcester with ore Of Mrs. DenarcO's
sons. and after looking around town ne
discovered her at Ill Shrewsbury street.
He went back TO stations1 and got In
spsctors Stone and O'Day to go down
and arrest the couple. They We're
brought TO station l. and viii be tried
in the central district court this morn
ing.
Demarco found that his $500 has near
" disappeared, but he offered 20 take
his wife back To Boston If she would
promise TO stay with him. She refused
70 do this. however. and he allowed her
to pass into the clutches OF the law.

Jeanne Dortzal, of the Paris Vaude-
vile Theatre, has been adjudged by a
commission the most beautiful woman
in the world. Her portrait is the ideal
lied face of a Madonna. Her judges
were painters, sculptors, critics, actors
and ladies' tailors, and the world is in
formed that they were to take cogniz-
ance of form, color, feature, soul, eX-
preston, dignity and carriage" Tn
told wisdom and experience must have
been required to know all about these
things.

The new Spanish minister speaks am
icably of our government and optimist-
ically of his own. He hopes for a speedy
resumption of commercial intercourse
upon a favorable basis for both ma
lions, and thinks that industrially and
commercially Spain is ready for de-
velopment, now that she has been re-
lieved of the colonies that proved so
expensive under her incompetent adj
ministration. He admits that the
financial problem is the hardest TO
solve, and there is reason for his be-
lief. Nobody yet knows the amount
of the Spanish debt contracted during
the recent period of war, but it is es-
timated at from $500 OOO. 900 to $500, OOO,-
600 for all the colonies. In addition
to this is the old Spanish debt of $685.
600 900, on which the government some
tie ago declared it could pay interest
only in silver, and thus scaled down
the debt so per cent or more. At
present foreign holders get their full
interest at per cent, and only res
ident Spaniards are compelled to sub
init to the reduction. Policy would
suggest a complete refunding of all the
government obligations on a uniform
basis. Increased taxation is a necessity,
and here comes the rub. With all sug
gested devices for an income tax, a
coupon tax and taxes on tobacco, pc
troleum, alcohol and other nlonopolies,
the estimated revenue will amount to
only $3.50, 900, 900, or about $15,OO,OOO less
than is needed for the obvious expenses
of the government. Drastic measures
are required for the emergency and it
remains to be seen whether the gov
eminent has the skill to devise an ade-
quate scheme of taxation and the cour-
age to put it in operation, and whether
the people will patiently submit their
noses to the grindstone.

THE MERCANTILE TAX.
1t Will Be Collected From Large and Small
Dealers.

Merchants viii find a great change
IN the mercantile tax next year, when
the tax bill passed by the last legsla-
ture will be enforced for the first time.
Under the old act of assembly, which
has been in force for many years, only
those whose annual sa,es amounted to
$1,000 or over were subject to the
payment of tax, but under the new
bill, which will soon go into force,
there will be no exemption whatever.
Every man or woman engaged in
business, no matter how small their
sales may be, will be compelled to
pay tax on the same. The change
will add largely to the work of the
mercantile appraisers.
Blanks will be printed, a copy of
which will be given to each individual,
firm or corporation engaged in busi-
ness in the county, and epch vii! be
required to state thereon the VIII Die
volume of business which has been
transacted during the preceding year,
that being the basis upon which IL
cense will be rated.
