Taxation In France.

Taxation in France is most thorough
and complete. Almost everything OF
any value or of money producing pow
er is. taxed in France. If a saloon
keeper or restaura teur places tables,
chairs, plants, flowers or statuary in
front Of his establishment, or an avn.
ing overahis front door or windows; il
a merchant, a second hand furniture
dealer, grocer, greengrocer or flower
vender displays goods in front of his
establishment-he pays the city a tau
or a rent for the use of the sidewalk OF
the space in the air occupied by the
awning. Everything that comes into
the city in the shape of wine, fruit
poultry, fish, any kind of food or drink
is taxed at the city gates. All banks
stocks and credits are taxed. Money
unproductiye is not taxed, and no spe.
cial effort is made to get at it. The
principle pervading the tax system is
to make everything pay thai is producs
tive.-N. Y. Press.

was passenger, was passing Quick
sund, murdered seven men and wound
edfive others, woman and boy, after
which he escaped in boat to Hoping,

victed and sentenced to death.
Shortly after his arrest Nordlund con-
fessed that he had deliberately planned
the crimes, and that he had stolen 800
kronen from the captain of the steamer.
He expressed regret that he had not
killed every one on board the Prins Carl,
emphatically denied that he was insane,
and asserted that he committed the
crimes in order to "avenge himself on

Pittsburgh, Pa, July All the
iron, steel and tin plate mills under
the jurisdiction of the .Amalgamated
associa ton closed Saturday night, but
there was no strike as is customary
on June 80 each year, when the wage
scale remains unsigned. Assistant
President Thomas Marsell, Of the
Amalgamated association, explains
that the shutdown cannot be called
a strike, as negotiations are pending on
the three scales presented to the man
ufacturers, and an agreement on all
of them is probable as soon as the
manufacturers and the workers are
ready to resume operations.
By the closing of the Union mills
fully 100000 men are thrown idle. In
addition to the union mills many non
union plants will be shut down for re.
pairs. =, .E-'.
All the window glass factories con.
trolled by the American Window Glass
company that have been operating
since the regular shutdown on June
Is, having capacity of over 1000
pots, were closed at noon. Fully 10 OOG
window glass workers will be idle dur
ing July and August, and longer unless
the wage scale is arranged before Sep
TENDER l, but there does not seem to
any doubt now that all differences will
be adjusted by that time. TR$4 rsr.
All the flint and chimney glass fac
tories closed Saturday night, the for
mer for two months and the latter for
SIN weeks. AS result over. 10000
flint glass workers will have vacation
during the hot months. The flint glass
wage scales have been satisfactorily
settled except in the chimney branch,
and this will likely be adjusted before
the time for the next fire. @Al ~ IT,"

PRESIDENT PLAYED POKER.
Game in Which the Chief Executive
of the United States Took
q Hand.

The marriage of Chester Alan Ar
thur, sonrsofa .theyslate President Ar
thur, to Mrs. Andrews, at Vevey, re-
calls an interesting affair in which
his father participated while oficiat-
ing at an exposition in this country,
and which has hitherto escaped pub
LEGATION, says the New York Herald.
August 1, 1888, witnessed the open
ing of the exposition at Louisville,
and the central figure was President
Arthur. Upon his arrival on the soil
of Kentucky the president was met
by the then governor of the state,
Luke B. Blackburn, and in response
to a speech of welcome by him the
president made gracious reply. The
train then sped onward through the
state until Louisville was reached.
Here the president was met by a
delegation of prominent men of the
city, headed by the mayor, Charles D.
Jacob. At night a banquet was ten
dered to the distinguished guest at
the Gait house, at which he was called
upon to respond to a toast.
At about II p. m. the president, ac-
companied by the committee appoint
ed to look after his comfort while in
Louisville, started for the suite of
rooms which had been set aside for
him at the Calf house, and, after
chat of about half an hour with the
members of the committee which
composed some of the prominent men
in Louisville's affairs, excused himself
and retired.
After the president had withdrawn
one of the committee suggested that
the party while away a couple of
hours with game of poker. No dis
senting voice being raised, the cards
and chips were brought forth and the
game was on. For a solid hour OF
more nothing could be heard but the
blinking of the chips and the subdued
voices of the players as the bets were
made. When the game was at it's
height, and the eyes and ears of the
players were so intently fixed upon
the cards and the betting as to be
totally oblivious to their surround
fngs, tall figure clad in a white
night robe appeared from behind the
portieres of a communicating room,
and, coming up behind one of the
players, gently tapped him on the
shoulder.
+ To the astonishment of this player,
upon looking up he beheld by his side
the president of the United States.
The president said he had been lying
In bed since the game began listening
to the rattling of the chips and the
betting which was going on in the
adjoining room, and, though tired,
he could not persuade himself to go
to sleep until he had taken hand in
the game. With one voice the com
mittee extended an invitation to the
president to take seat at the table
and join in the game, which he did.
Louisville to-day has the distinction
of having once had a president Of
the United States while it's guest
playing a game of poker with some
Of it's leading citizens in his. night
