mess for his, newspaper, and that he
would deliver no speeches and attend
no public dinners. He had nothing to
say about free silver or paramount

Mr.. Bryan was questioned about va.
rious matters Of public interest, and
said:
''It looks as if the Nicaraguan canal
project had fallen through. The trans
continental railroads and the Mckinley
administration are responsible. The rail-
roads were afraid that if clear water
was used in the canal there would not
be enough stocks
"If the Republican party made no

than in the last four it would soon
reach it's finish.

to still further and larger consolida-

PROFIT-SHARINC
PLAN PROPOSED
An Incentive to Faithful and
Conscientious Work.
OF A NEWSPAPER

System Whereby WastefuI Warfare
Between Capital and Labor May Be
Happily Eliminated From the In
dustriaI and Commercial World.
TERRE HAUTE, March 9.-The Terre
Haute Evening Gazette, holder of the
franchise for the day dispatches of the
Associated Press in this city, announces
today an important change in its own
ership.
For more than a quarter of century
it has been owned by William G. and
Spencer f. Ball. They remain the
principal owners, but under comprehen-
sive articles Of copartnership they have
given all persons regularly at work on
the paper in all departments an oppor-
tunity TO secure partnership i'll the pa
per. The proposition is made for add
ing others after a years connection
with the paper. All at work on the pa
per may become partners. No interest
in it can be held by any one not so en-
gagged.
A 5 per cent per annum dividend, and
more If the paper earns more. is guar
anteed to the minority y-in-interest part
ners. They are also guaranteed par for
their holdln1eA whenever they at any
time retire from the firm.
The plan contemplates more than
proftsharing on which it's projectors
hope it will be an improvement and ad-
vance.
For more than a quarter of century
there has been entire harmony between
the proprietors of The Gazette and its
employees. Most of the latter have been
trained on the paper and brought up
into the business, and thus have had an
important part IN the building up of The
Gazette, of which they are now given
opportunity to become part owner.
The projectors of this comprehensive
copartnership arrangement are hopeful
that it may serve as a model of system
whereby wasteful warfare between cap
ital and labor and antagonisms between
employers and employees may be elm
mated from the industrial and CONNER
cial world.

TAXATION OF BUcKETsHoPs
Internal Revenue Law Amended by
Last Congress.

Last Congress.
New YORK, March - 1t is an
nounced in Washington special to The
Journal of Commerce that a circular
letter to collectors of internal revenue
is in preparation by the commissioner Of
internal revenue in regard to changes
in the act of 1898, made by the new
revenue law, III regard to bucketshop
transactions.
The instructions will at the outset
merely call attention to the new law
and direct its reinforcement, but it is
anticipated that some questions may
arise before 1t has been long in opera
tlOn. The provisions affecting bucket
shops will take effect In April, although
most of the other provisions of the bill
will take effect with the beginning of
the new official year on July /.
The existing law has been interpret
ed as requiring such establishments to
pay the tax on two counts on each $500
of par valuo of stocks dealt in. The
only transactions which have partially
escaped tax have been those purporting
to concern produce and merchandise.
The bucketshops have claimed under
the estimation that the bets accepted by
them upon the market prices of wheat,
corn, cotton and other products were
not consummated on any exchange or
board of trade. But they have paid
more or less cheerfully the annual Ii
cense tax of $50 imposed upon brokers'.
Now that no distinction is made be-
tween the purported transactions in
stocks and those in produce, more care
full scrutiny is likely to be made of the
books of the bucketshops, in order to
compel the payment of the tax of 2 cents
on each 500 levied by the new law.

ger, Thursday evening, after an Illness

There is widespread feeling that
this young girls life might have been

tist, believes in divine healing, and
he did not call in physician during
her illness, but prayed for her restora-
ton to health. Nor were any Of the
remedies prescribed by physicians for
typhoid fever, the disease with which
she was afflicted, used. She received

loved ones, and her father asked her if
she wanted a doctor and called over the

UGLY SCANDAL IN ALABAMA.
Men Illegally Convicted and Sent to
the Mines.


GREENvILLE, Ala, March eff the
statements of numerous leading citizens
of Greenville are to be accepted, a scan.
dal is brewing in the Butler county
courthouse that will attract widespread
attention.
The threatened scandal has to do with
the manner i'll which large numbers of
persons have been sent to the coal mines
by the authorities of this county on a
charge of unlawfully riding on railroad
trains.
Reputable citizens, and many of them,
charge that the officials have practiced
gross irregularities; that innocent men
have been convicted without any sort of
evidence; that men have been sent to
the mines without having had any sort
of trial; that there is collusion among
some of the county authorities to ap-
prehend strangers" as they are termed
while passing through GreenvilIe and

''In it's solicitude for the children of

this not only clandestinely, but openly

Consequently, the orthodox church no

as such SO long as he does not become
