Louisville had ramshakle, broken
down street railroad, the cars Of which
were drawn by mules, when Tom
Johnson applied there for work." says
a writer in Success, in telling about
the rapid rise of the Cleveland May
or. Recently he sold his interest
in that railroad at a handsome profit,
after being for fifteen years its largest
stockholder, and chiefly instrumental
in changing it from mule to electric
power.
"After young Johnson had been con-
nected with the railway few weeks,
it's president, Biddeman du Pont, no.
ticed him picking up some pieces Of
scrap iron and depositing them in a
barrel that stood near the entrance to
the car shops.
"'What are you doing that forT
asked Mr.. du Pont, rather sternly.
"'Why, SIR said Tom, a little en-
barrassed there is no use wasting
these pieces of iron. The company
may want to have them melted over
some day.
"Mr. du Pont went into his Office
and thought. He sent for Tom and
said: Il just think have some work
for a young man like you. How would
you like to stay in the Office and have
your salary raised TO So weekT
"Then Tom L. Johnson went up like
a rocket; but, unlike many rockets,
he stayed up. He quickly rose from
position to positlon-from Office boy
to chief cashier; and on his seven

intendent of the road.
"Then he began system that i'm.

Many physicians are now prescribing
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure regularly, hav-
ing found that it is the best presc"ip-
tion they can write because it is the
one preparation which contins the ele-
ments necessary to digest not only
some kinds of food but all kind and it
therefore cures indigestion and dys-
pepsia no matter what its cause.

FLY CAN'T BE DROWNED.

Whatever other fate might befall it.
naturalfsts agree that the common
house fly cannot be drowned, and many
experiments have been made in relation
thereto.
Included in such tests was the i'm
mersion OF fly in a tumbler of clear.
cold water, with a piece of cardboard to
fit the glass and floated so as to keep
the insect beneath the surface.
So little did the fly trouble about such
an obstacle that it kept near the bot
tom of the glass, and there for a quar-
ter of an hour ran about as freely as
in the fresh air. while it at times crawl

INCOME LAW
Misunderstood
Collector Pratt Talks of Errors
Made in Returns-Penalty
is Added.

The income tax is coming in in the
same proportion as the property tax"
said Collector Pratt Saturday. We
get something every day, but the taxes
will not begin to come in, in earnest,
for probably another month. The tax
payers who have thousands of dollars
to pay prefer to keep their money and
draw the interest until the day it must
be paid, the 18th of November
In about twenty cases the penalty of
200 per cent has been added. These
were instances where the return SEEM
ed false upon its face OF course if the
taxpayer comes in and shows that the
false return was made through ignor
ance, the penalty will not be inflicted.
In many cases where the return was
not true, the penalty was not added, as
it had been made through a misunder-
standing of the law, and upon the mis-
take being pointed out it was corrected.
THE one error which was genera
and which was in fact the biggest fac
tor in the corrections of the returns,
was that referring to Sales of Nov
able property of every description in
Schedule a and in Schedule b under
exemptions, Amounts expended in the
purchase or production of movable
property mentioned in Schedule A.
The law intended that only such de-
auctions should be made of stock as
was given in the sales of movable prop
erty in Schedule a. Instead of that
many merchants. especially among the
Japanese and Chinese exempted all
merchandise purchased during the year,
whether it had been sold, and listed IN
Schedule A or not. OF course in such
cases there appeared to be little or ne
profit, as the stock still on hand was
deducted from the receipts upon stock
which had been disposed of, and we
had no way then to estimate the profits.
When the matter was called to the at
tention of those making the returns it
was generally corrected. Aside from
that one item, we have had very little
trouble in making up the returns.
Appeals have been taken in a num-
Der of cases. They should have been in
by October LIST, but | accepted some
after that without prejudice. and Will
get a legal opinion upon the question. ="

FAULKNER ARRESTED.
New Britain's Tax Collector Must
 Answer to the Court.

&AA0 " EA tO SAE 1VuA
 New Britain, Aug 22.-Ex-City Col lector Charles H. Faulkner tor Faugh- an as his name was spelled before he changed it) was arrested at 1:15 yes terday by Chief-of Police Rawlings on the charge of wrongfully, feloniously and fraudulently appropriating $16,5OO, which he received from taxes sewer assessments, etc, to his own use. The special Investigating committee report ed the findings of the expert account ants to Prosecuting Attorney Guss- man and the prosecutor issued the warrant. The accused could not be located during the forenoon, but early in the afternoon Chief Rawlings saw him standing on Main street. He final ly went to his office and the chief fol- lowed him up the stairs He found the door locked and heard a noise of a window being opened within. Believ- in that Faulkner was trying to escape ne went around to the side of the building and saw Faulkner on the roof of the building adjoining the spring bed shop. The chief told Faulkner not to try to escape and he went back through the window He refused to open the door and the chief had to smash it in- Faulkner was then plac- ed under arrest and taken to the po- lice station. where he was locked up Bonds were fixed at $15,OOU. An at tempt was made to secure a bondsman, but 1t was not successful.
 MT Faulkner. in talking with his friends has stoutly asserted his inno- cence and has maintained that the only thing that could be found in his books was faulty bookkeeping, that no in tentionai wrong doing could be dis covered. He has stuck to the state ment all along and has also claimed that he was still legally collector. Moreover he has made no attempt to leave the city when he had numberless chances.
 MT Faulkner is about 45 years old, has wife and two children and has been popular with a wide circle of friends ill this city for many years until lately. He entered politics in 1850, when he ran for town tax collector on the democratic ticket. He was defeat ed but under a law passed by the leg islature was appointed tax collector by Selectman Bassett and the other mem- bers of the board. He held the office until 1893, when the law was changed again. He was defeated in the caucus in 1894 for city collector by James Con- roy, who was defeated at the polls.
 After term as assessor he was nom- mated and elected as city collector in 1896 and held the office until this spring He was DoDular and had little difficulty in defeating his opponents.

THE CORPORATION LAW.
Many Requests for Blanks and Copies
 of the Act.


 The new corporation law enacted by the last general assembly, which went into effect few weeks ago, is attract ing considerable attention from cor porations and corporation lawyers in other states. As a result the secretary of state has received a great number of inquiries for blanks and copies Of the act.
 Inquiry at the secretary of states office. yesterday, brought out the fact that in the near future several of the large New Jersey corporations will or ganize under the new law ill this state. The fact that there is no franchise tax and that a resident director or resi- dent attorney is not necessary are all points which have caught the eye of corporations lawyears. Besides this, it is claimed that the law is most liberal and one which will induce many capi- talists to form their organizations in this state
 It has been said that the law was passed with this object in view, and if such is the case. it's object seems likely to be fulfilled
 One New Yorker. who recently or ganiZed a large company under the laws of New Jersey, advised the sec retary of state last week that his con cern might decide to reincorporate in Connecticut in order to get rid of the annual franchise tax.
 Up to the present time no corpora tion with a capital of over Sloc, ,000 has been incorporated under the new law.
 This morning the secretary received q telegram from Boston attorney asking for blanks to be forwarded im- mediately. The concern which the at torney represents is believed to be one of large capital.
