ut the house at noon Saturday from the
effects OF being accidentally burned
while at play about q O'Clock in the
morning. Hi(s Y
According to his custom, the little
fellow was out of bed before his aien is
aud ran to the nursery in his night
clothes, where he played about and in
some manner set fire 10 his clothing.
il is supposed that he found match
in the room, although it was lot known
that there were any there.
AS soon as his clothing caught fire he
ran screaming from the loom into the
hallway. This aroused his parents and
his aunts, Misses Mary and E,tta krebs.
The room occupied by tine young
women being near the nursery, they
reached the child before his parents
could get to him and by hard work
succeeded in extinguishing the flames
by THROWING blankets around him. In
doing so both had their hands badly
burned. Mr.. and Mrs. Piersvn were
also quickly on the scene, and after the
child's burning clothing had been ex-
tinguishnu Mr. Pierson ran to the
nursery and put out the fire there, q
chair and the carle having been
iguited. When MIR. Pierson reached
the room the flames we're burning
briskly, and be had some trouble id
subiuing them, and in the effort his
hands were burned.
The unfortunate child was made as
comfortable as 10 siule and Drs.
Shortiidge and Worthingt were sum-
moned. They made an investigation
and found that the little fellow was in
an exceedingly critical corditioa. His
entire body had been burnett and he
had inhaled flames. Everything rossi-
bic was done for his relief. but at noon
death relieved his sufferings.
Another sou, Elmer, aged years, is

ence between the two years. The
estimate is considered a conservative
one by the members of congress who
have investigated the matter. The
statistics in possession Of the inter-
nal revenue bureau Of the treasury
show that there has been an increase
SO far in the present calendar year
in the production of beer.
II is understood further that the
plans Of the house leaders contem-
plate reduction Of the tax upon to-
bacco from 0 6-1O cents, the present
rate, to six cents. This will mean, II
carried out, reduction of more than
$s,0O0,OO0. II the reductions as finally
decided upon are in the line indicated
upon beer, tobacco and the abolition
Of the special taxes, there will be a
total reduction In the internal rev.

REDUCTION OF TAXES
Leaders In Senate aud House Want
Treasury Surplus Reduced.
SPECIAL TAXES TO Be ABOLISHED.
The Tax ON Besr, Tobacco and Possibly
whisky to BE Lowered and 100000
900 to $4,000, 900 on Government
Receipts to Be Topped on.

Washington, Nov. 11.-A general
understanding seems to have been
reached among leaders Of the senate
and house on the majority side to ef-
feet the reduction Of the treasury
surplus through reductions OF the
tax on beer, tobacco and possibly
whisky, together with the abolition
Of all the special taxes. The special
taxes will include those on bankers,
billiard rooms, brokers, stocks, bonds,
bowling alleys circuses, theaters and
concert halls.
The decision as to the internal rev.
enue tax reduction has been made In
Washington during the conferences
Of the last two or three days, but
more definite conclusions became
known since a. to these reductions.
1t 10 admitted by members Of the
ways and means committee that Con-
gresham Payne, chairman Of the
committee, 10 to prepare the report
upon the reductions and general
credence Il given the statement which
has been made that he will frame the
bill which will be offered In the next
session.
Until something is known a. to
what the programme in congress ID
to be as to reciprocity and the Mic.
aragua canal and other expensive
governmental projects the total
amount Of the reduction to be made
cannot be determined. The best in.
formation here is that something over
$5O,OOo,O00 will be Topped of the gov
eminent receipts, and some Of the
ways and means committee want q
reduction Of $70,OOO,000. The first
concession in the attitude of Secre'
! tary Gage as to internal revenue tax
alton was the abolition Of the spe
cial taxes already enumerated. Thil
change, however, would bring about
a reduction Of only $4,000, 900, as thes,
were the receipts in 1901 and 1900.
Ut is generally understood that thu
plan Of Mr.. Payne and his colleagues
will be to cut the tax on beer from
| $3.50 per barrel to . fat dollar rate
1 This will cause IN estimated reduc
tlon Of $4o.ooo.ooo in the. revenue re
