Income Tax Centenary.

There is no indication that the
British nation means to celebrate
with widespread rejoicings the CEN
tennial of the imposition Of the in
come tax, which occurs this year.
Pitt established that sweet boon in
1899 at the rate of two shillings on
the pound, and it brought into the
Treasury quarter OF million
pounds for every penny. Last year
the rate was only one-third as great,
but it brought in more than two and
a quarter millions for every penny.
That is splendid proof of the in
crease of wealth. But taxpayers
would just as gladly have the fact
shown in some other manner. -NeaU

GENERAL UPRISING OF TAR
TARs FEARED.

Most Serious Situation Has Devel-
oped in Southeastern Russia.
LONDON, April 10.-Tbe St. Peters
burg correspondent OF the Daily
Telegraph says: A very serious situa-
tion, which has recently developed
in the Province of Kasan, in South
eastern Russia, territory inhabited
principally by Tartars, is likely to
result in general uprising. Famine
and etyphus, that have long been
devastating the Volga territory,
created such terrible havoc in that
province that the Government was
compelled to send aid, food and Red
Cross sanitary agents.
Unfortunately, rumors we're circu-
lated with the assistance of fanatical
priests, that the representatives of
the Government really wanted to
convert the Mahommedaus. A genu-
inc religious panic ensued and the
Governments agents everywhere
met with hostile reception, being
stoned and otherwise maltreated, so
that it became impossible to distri-
butte the aid sent. The Government
is now endeavoring to reassure the
misguided Tartars.
The Government of Kasan, which
is traversed by the Volga and Kama,
has population of 100000 souls.
During the sway of the Tartars of
the Golden Horde, the province was
included with the present Russian
Governments of Viatka, Perm, Sim
beersk and Penza, in the kingdom
Of Kasan. 1t was originally peopled
by Firms, who were vanquished by
the Tartars. In 1862 Ivan VASTLY
evitch H., by the taking of the city
of Kasan, long celebrated for its
educational establishments aud en-
trepot of the commerce between
Siberia, Bokhara and Southern Rus.
STA, destroyed the Tartar power and
annexed the territory to Russia.

A Happy Affair.

happy sequel to the accident on July 4,
whereby VIM. Eccard lost his right hand,
by means of a cannon explosion took place
when his young friends gave him surprise
in a lawn party benefit last evening.
The historic old lawns at Goth and Penn
sylvania avenue were thronged all evening
by his friends, old and young. The beauti-
fully illuminated lawns, scattered here and
there on which were tasty booths from
which refreshments Were served, presented
a fine appearance. Music rendered
during the evening by stringed orchestra
and a male quartet. Much of the praise
for the success of the benefit should be
given to Mr.. Hale, the florist, who took up
and carried to a successful termination the
management of the affair.
Quite a handsome sum was realized
which will be placed to the young mans
credit in bank
