"LONES are always an important VT accessory of the Easter toilette.
 In fact, the woman to whom new gown or a new hat is an unobtain- able luxury feels that she must at least have new gloves for the opening day of the spring and summer fash ions.
 While this year there are a number of novelties offered in the glove line the old favorites still continue in pop ular favor. In colors gray in several shades easily leads. Of the gray shades dark, almost slate, is show ing the greatest sales in the New York stores, but there are some whom no one would expect to be we'll informed on such subjects who say the craze for gray is not a lasting one, and that before summer is really with us new colcrs will replace the grays. Such may be the case, but gray is the vogue at present.
 In design the three clasp glove leads in popularity, though one sees a num- Der with but two clasps, some with but a single clasp, in which case it is usu- ally of decidedly ornamental effect.
 Of the novelties none are more pro- nounced than the silk lined gloves for women'S wear. The men have indulged in the luxury of silll-lined gloves for several seasons, but this is practically the first time they have been shown for women's wear, and shopkeepers say they are meeting with a consider able sale. SARAH DAVIDSON.

 Among the people who revel in the lugubrious things of this world and mourn with exceeding pleasure, may safely be counted Mrs. Hankey, a. character in '"The Farringdons."
 Mrs. Hankey is telling about the recent wedding of her niece Susan, and and prophesying the probable end of the bridegroom with considerable unc- ton.
 "How is your sister herself?" in- quired Mrs. Bateson- "I expect she's a bit upset now that the fuss is all over. and she hasn't a daughter left to bless herself with.''
 Mrs. Hankey sighed cheerfully. s'Well, she did seem rather low-spirited when all the mess was cleared up, and Susan had gone off to her own home; but says to her: Never mind, Sarah, and don't you worry yourself. Now that the weddings are over. the fu- nerals will soon begin You see you must cheer folks up bit, Mrs. Bateson, when they're feeling out of sorts. .'- Youths Companion.

Major Smiths Motion Denied.

ALBANY, Jan. 25.-The appellate di-
vision, third department, has denied 4
motion of Major Clinton X. Smith, late
of the Seventy first regiment of New
York city. that he be permitted to take
certain questions before the court of ap-
penls in connection with his removal
from majorship in that regiment. His
conduct as an officer of the regiment at
the battle Santiago dc Cuba was investi-
gated by a board of inquiry appointed by
Governor Roosevelt. Major Smith sought
to prevent that board investigating the
matter, as he was an officer in the United
States army when the battle took place.
The court decided that they had no juris-
diction over the acts of the governor in
the matter Major Smith was removed
by the governor, and he made an applica-
ticn to the courts for writ of certiorari
for Il review by the courts of the action
of the board of inquiry, alleging that it
had admitted testimony which 1t should
not have taken. Again the courts decid-
ed that they had no jurisdiction, and the
appellate division yesterday denied Ma
jor Smith the right to submit the Ques-
lion of Jurisdiction to theNeourt of ap-

A BANK TAX SCHEME
Bill Before New York Legisla-
ture Imposes l Per Cent.
on STOCK, SURPLUS AND PROFITS.
Proposed Law Would Reach All
Banking Institutions and Trust
Companies and Would Yield
Three or Four Millions,

ALBANY, Jan. 25.--Two bills impos-
ing a tax of per cent upon the capital
rtock, surplus and undivided profits of
national, state aud private banks of this
ttate were introduced yesterday by As
Eemblyman Merton E. Lewis of Monroe.
They are in line with the recommends
tions made by Governor Odell in his first
annual message to the legislature.
1t has been computed by experts on
taxation that an exaction of this kind
upon the capital of banks and trust COM
panies will bring into the state treasury
between 100000 and SI,000,000. The
total amount of the capitalization, undi-
vided profits and surplus Of banks
Is $3.50, l33,329, of which about So, 1000.
600 is in real estate. leaving about $780,
100000 in personal property in such cap
ital and surplus.
The tax is to be imposed on the indi-
vidual shares of capital stock. The value
Of each share is to be ascertained by add
ing together the capital stock Of the cor
poratlon, the surplus and undivided prof
its and dividing the total sum by the
number of shares This Is done for the
purpose of enabling the state comptroller
10 determine the actual value of the
shares.
The banks and trust companies are re-
quired TO report annually to the comp
trollcr on or before July 20 the amount
Of their capital stock, the amount Of sur
plus and the amount of the undivided
profits as of July l. The comptroller is
also required to give hearing to those
persons who may file objections to his
estimates. On or before Aug. Is in each
year the comptroller shall finally fix and
determine the gross amount OF tax due
from the owlIers of the shares Of stock in
such banking and trust corporations.

EDITOR TO Be DEPoRTeD.
Guilty of Offensive journalism In
Manila and Not Wanted.

MANILA, Jan. 25.-General MacAr-
thur has ordered the deportation to the
United States of George T. Rice, editor
of The Daily Bulletin, marine journal.
Rice will sail on the Pennsylvania next
Monday. The order characterizes him as
dangerous incendiary and menace
to the military situation"
Rice's Offense was the publication of
allegations that Lieutenant Commander
William Brauhcrsreuther, captain of the
port, had charged excessive pilotage and
moorage fees, percentage of which he
had kept for himself.
The report of Major Mills, inspector
general who investigated the allegations,
completely exonerated the captain of the
port and indicted the editor and the mer-
chants who had given him information
and who had been misled by figuring the
rates upon the net instead of the gross
tonnage, the latter being specified under
the Spanish law.
Rice was summoned to the office Of the
governor generals military secretary and
was called upon to promise that he would
publish no more such articles He de-
clined to give such a pledge, but insisted
that the article was truthful and took up
defiant attitude when threatened with
deportatioIs.
The deportation order was then issued,
and Rice is now awaiting the departure
of the Pennsylvania. When seen in Jail,
he reiterated his statement that the
charges were true and declared that in
any event the severity Of the sentence
was unmerited.
Rice came originally from Red Wing,
Mimi. and was formerly member of
the Minnesota volunteers

hundred acres of sugar cane were burned
on Wednesday, as the result of political
friction, on Mr.. Joseph Rigney's planta-
tion, Cebahueca, near Manzanillo the
richest plantation in this province. Dur

plantation was fully equipped to produce
sugar to the ful! capacity of the MILL
Mr.. Rigney's loss is about 100000, but
1t will not seriously cripple the business.
A considerable quantity of cane from the
burned fields is still valuable and can
be utilized unless rain falls within few
days.

Two plantations at Guantanamo have
lost heavily during the week from similar
fires. Burning cane is a popular method
of getting revenge among the Cubans.
