Italian Tax yatherers.

What annoyances Italians are sub. jected to by the tax gatherers is shown by a recent scandalous case in the courts. Gen. Cosenz, one of the heroes of the liberation of Italy, Gari- baldi's chief of staff in the conquest of the two Sicilies, and later chief of the general staff of the Italian army, died some time ago, leaving the mill tary decorations he had won to his heirs. The treasury officials demand ed death duties on these and fixed the amount of the tax at $16.9O. The heirs refused to pay, and the civil court at Rome has just decided that ''decorations and medals are part of the historical and patriotic patrimony of the country and are, therefore, not subject to the inheritance tax"

USES OF REDWOOD.
Tlmb for tfs> Exploitation 0f Which Trust Has Been
 Formed,

According to a report received from California d few days days ago, a com pany has been formed on the Pacific coast, with a capital of $l50O0, ,0O0, for the purpose of controlling the red wood market. There are not many lumber merchants in New York who handle this product of the western forests extensively. and they have lit, tie fear regarding the proposed trust, says the New York Tribune.
 Redwood is shipped from California extensively to Japan, China. Hawaii and England. In those countries it is used for building purposes. Great quantities of shingles are made from the wood, and of these many come to the eastern part of the United States and are sold in the rural districts. In the United States the wood is used for collins. door jambs. rails, wainscoting window SaSheS and similar house fit tings.
 The wood should be more popular than it is," said dealer, "becaus> the best quality is cheaper than the best pine. It would be more in demand if the dealers in the far west paid more attention to the eastern market, but they prefer to sell to China and Ja- pan"
 A sample of the wood is now in storage warehouse in the upper part of the city. The piece is F feet long six feet wide and two inches thick. II weighs more than TOO pounds, and wa! cut with an ordinary hand saw. Hay ing no blemish, it is considered a re- markable specimen
 The commercial redwood is the prod. uct of giant trees, but not of the larg. est class, and the fear that the new corporation may become an additional menace to the big trees of California is said to be unfounded.
