He Was for Forty Years in th'
 United States Navy.

Captain Thomas G. Corbin, a retired officer of the navy. died a few days ago in Philadelphia at an advanced age. Cap tain Corbin was a native of Virginia. but was appointed to the navy from Ala bama. He was a brother of the late Mrs. B. F. Randolph. so well and so favorably known for many years by most of our older citizens. He had several brothers who occupied high positions in the different walks of life. one of them. Mir. Frank .Corbin, having been for a long time the wealthiest and most prominent American resident of Paris.
 Captain Corbin was entitled to promo ton in the navy perhaps forty years ago. but the examining board appointed under the regulations of the navy to examine him was composed of some off, cers junior in rank to him and he posi- lively refused to appear before the board on that account Hence he died Cap tain. whereas had he acted otherwise he probably. would have died a Rear Ad- miral He was a most interesting char acter ard attracted attention wherever he went. He has quite number of relatives in this city and State.

POLL TAX PAYMENTS
TWELVE HUNDRED AND THIR-
 TY-THREE HAVE PAID.
This is Six Less Than for the Same Period Last Year, Caused by Voluntary Clause in
 Constitution.

One thousand two hundred and thirty three persons had paid their poll tax from October 1 up to January IA. For the same pc iod last year 1.2S9 persons had paid the poll tax. Deputy Tax Col lector Teasley said yesterday that h, thought there were fully 200 more white people who have paid their tax thus far this year than last, although the grand total Is six less for the correspondins period. MT. Teasley predicts that the income from the poll tax this year will be decidedly less than .ast year. He said that hundreds of negroes were garnished during the latter part of the year, while the income from the garnished negroes will be lost. The negroes. he said. are paying their poll tax very slowly, In fact, there have been only a few since January l.
 Under the old Constitution the payment of poll tax was compulsory. but under the new Constitution 1t is voluntary. The funds are given to the public schools of the State

Quaint Robert Grant.

Professor schafer in The University College Gazette tells a story about Robert Grant. his day, who always wore full evening dress and worked with Darwin.

When the railway company obtained powers to open up the square so to give better access to It's sta passed the house occupied by Grant and 1t might be assumed that the increased traffic would disturb its quietude and that the oc- cupier might be fairly entitled to compensa- ton. At any rate, the story goes that the company rendered such compensation as to a poor man like Grant was a good round sum. Grant however, would not accept a penny. stating that he could not that the change which was Go be made would in any way ir- 1uFiOusly affect him.
