MR.. STRANAHAN',S TAX BILL.
SENATOR TELLS OF WORKING OF THE
NEW LAW PROPOSED.
rBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE

fBT TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
Albany Jan. Ex-senator Stranahan. when
asked tonight about the reports that his Mort
gage Tax bill might be amended as to pro
vide for a division of the receipts from the tax
between the State and the localities collecting
it, said:
The report has a solid basis. for the Commit
tee on Taxation and Retrenchment is consider
ing it. Senator Humphrey. who is a member OF
the committee is drawing UP such an amend
ment and thinks it not unlikely that it Will be
adopted.
Senator Krum, who is the chairman Of the
Committee on Taxation and Retrenchment,
said:
"I have thought all along that the Mortgage
Tax bill would be amended to give the
localities collecting it a share of it,
What will be the proportion Of the division
between the State and the local governments
collecting the tax, if such a change is made in
the bill?" The Senator answered:
That do not know. I is suspected that the
rate Of division will be two-thirds for the State
and one-third for the localities collecting the
tax. Governor Ode said in his message that IT
estimated $3.0O0,000 would be obtained
from the tax the first year it was collected.
but that estimate was made before the propo-
stion to permit of the recording of old mort
cages was put forward. The owners of old
mortgages pay a recording tax. The total in
come from the Mortgage Tax act will be much
more than S3.O00000. and, therefore. the State
authorities probably will be much more disposed
to surrender some part of 1t to the localities
collecting it,

LOAN ASSOCIATION MEN AGAINST BILL.

The Metropolitan League of Cooperative Build
ing and Loan Associations, through President Ed
win +. Howell and Secretary A. W. McEwan, has
seHt each member of the legislature a circular
protesting against the passage of Senate bill No 8,
introduced by Senator Stranahan, which provides
for the taxation of mortgages The league argues
that II the bill became a law ii would have
serious effect the cooperative building and loan
associations of the State. These associations the
circular says, have always been exempt from taxa
tion the ground that they promote thrift and
enterprise the part OF vorkingmen.

Pretty Home Wedding.

A quiet but very pretty home wedding
occurred at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
W. B. Barber, at Strattanville, Pa, on
Wednesday, February 10Th, when their
daughter, Miss Rena Belle Barber, was
united in marriage to Mr.. j. A. Goal, Of
Lynch, Pa.
The ceremony was quiet affair, and
only the immediate relatives of the young
people were present. After an informal
reception Mr.. and Mrs. Goal left for
Pittsburg and the East on their honey
moon; after which they will make their
home at Lynch, Pa, where the groom is
engaged in the oil business. Both young
people are general favorites at their re-
spective homes, and all join in wishing
tor them long, happy and prosperous
liie.-Clarion Republican.

Letter TO c. A. Randall.


Dear Sir: Perhaps you "won't have
anything to do with Mixed Paints" We
don't blame you but Devoe lead and zinc
is not Mixed Paint; there is twice as
mnch paint in gallon of it As there is in
a gallon of some of the Mixed Paints n.
Avery, Delhi, n. Y, owns 2 houses ex-
acily alike-Painted one with Mixed
Pain-took II gallons. Painted the other
with Devoe; bought u gallons-had six
gallons left.
1t has taken a great many years To fin ]
out the best and it takes a lot Of ma
chinery to grind it properly.
More than 1900 years, men painted
with lead, and more than 200 with linseed
oil. About so years ago, they began to
use zinc.
All painters know lead and oil; most
painters know lead and oil with zinc
mixed init improves their paint: wears
longer: dees not chalk or powder Off so
soon. One-third more zinc than lead is
used in this country.
But painters don't know how much
zinc to put in and zinc is hard to mix
needs grinding in-and they can't grind
/ it in.
1 Still, nobody uses lead without zinc,
| who knows his business.
Yours truly,
90 f. W. DEvoE, a Co.

Floods Of the Past Week.

The breakup which began with the
warm sun of the early part Of last week,
eliminated on Friday, Saturday and
/ Sunday in the most disastrous floods
| that this section has known for years.
/ Not since the memorable floods of lS65,
has the Allegheny been as high at this
| point from natural water as il was at
three o'clock last Saturday afternoon,
when it reached its highest level, yet it
still lacked about three feet of reaching
the height attained in the spring of that
year. In this immediate vicinity there
was no damage of note done, but along
Tionesta creek considerable havoc was
wrought.
On Friday night the railroad bridge of
the Sheffield & Tionesta railroad,
wooden structure spanning Tionesta
creek at the mouth of Ross Run, was
swept away by ice and water, as was also
the new county iron bridge about three
miles lower down the creek, near the
Jughandle road. 1t is thought the debris
from the railroad bridge on top of the inn
mense ice gorge is what caught and car
ried the iron bridge from its abutments,
landing it nearly a mile below. This
bridge was completed only little mere
Than a year ago and was one of the best
in the county. 1t is thought the act of
1895, providing that the State shall re-
build all county bridges destroyed by
flood or high water, will cover this case
and that the county will be a no loss IN
restoring the structure. The County
Commissioners will avail themselves of
the provisions of this statute and the
probabilities are that the coming sum
mer will see new bridge erected there.
The road bed OF the S. & T. rail- Dad has
been badly washed out in many places
and number of small bridges aud cul-
verts taken away. This is notably the
case along the Coon creek branch to Go
lima.
What the extent of the loss or damage
to lumber along Tionesta creek has been
is not definitely known. Mr.. CASTOR has
sustained the loss of some logs and about
50 or 80 cords of bark. Some cars of bark
and lumber that were standing on the
Ross run bridge were taken but how
many is not known. Considerable
square timber from the upper end of the
creek, supposed TO belong to Collins, and
Agnew, Aharrah d Co., was caught in
the flood and swept sway. VIM. Kribbs,
of Kelettville, had quantity of square
timber banked above Jughandle, some of
which is said to have been taken.
The county bridge near the grist mill
at Nebraska sustained some damage, but
nothing serious.
Along the Allegheny riv' the damage
by the flood was comparatively light con-
sidering the great height of the water.
The River division of the Penna railroad
had many washouts, delaying traffic badly
for day or two, but trains are running
again pretty well on time. On the lower
end, about Pittsburg the river was enor-
nous and much distress was suffered by
private families and business industries.
In Oil City many cellars and Easements
were submerged and considerable loss
sustained by business men, merchants
etc.
All in all it was flood to date from
and will be remembered as hummer by
the present generation.

The Uncrowned King.

The free-born citizen gets up when dew
is on the grass,
And sees himself reflected in trust
made looking glass.
A trust controls the soap he finds at
length upon the stand,
And through the favor of some trust he
takes his comb in hand.
His shoes, suspenders, shirt and socks,
the buttons on his coat,
His handkerchief, his necktie and the
collar round his throat,
All came from factories that trusts per
NIT to operate,
A trust allows him to have coal to, pile
upon the crate.
BY yielding to the Sugar Trust he makes
his coffee sweet,
By bewing to the Beef Trust he may have
steak to eat;
The Cracker Trust, the Flour Trust, the
Coffee Trust likewise,
Take tribute from the man who dwells
where Freedoms banner flies.
He rises from the table which trust
leaves in his care,
And on the trust-made halltree finds
trust-made hat to wear.
Now see the free-born citizen upon the
trust-owned car,
By paying tribute he may ride to where
his duties are.
He sits before a trust-made desk-a
trust has said he may
And being free and equal he tolls for the
trust all day
At night trust provides his light, and
when his prayers are said
The uncrowned king devoutly kneels
beside trust-made bed.
Thus all his trusts bound up in trusts
that treat him as they please.
He lives through favor Of the trusts, to
them he bends his knees;
All, let us trust that when he dies and
leaves this world of care,
Some trust will wait him to the skies and
give him glory there.

Never Spoke Again.

The following story is told of yen-
triloquist, now famous, but at the time
of this happening so hard up he used
to walk between the cities where he
was to appear. On one of these tours
he came to Philadelphia on foot, and
on the road he picked up a miserable
little dog, because it looked so much
ike he felt" The story will explain
what became of the dog.
The first house he came TO was a
saloon, and, of course, he wanted a
drink. He had. no money, but vent
in anyhow to see what be could do.
The proprietor, "a German, said: "Well'
what will you have2"
He said, "I'll take little whiskey,
and then turning to the dog, he asked
"What will you have2"
81 ii take ham sandwich.
The German was so surprised he
almost tainted. He looked at the dog
moment and then asked: What
did you say?"
The dog replied 81 saida ham
sandwich. "
Hans thought it wonderful that a
dog should be able to talk, and asked
who had trained him, how long it had
taken, etc, and wound up with, "HOw
much you take for him?'
"Oh," said the ventrilOquist, 81
wouldn't sell him at any price, but |
am little hard up now, and if you
will lend me $50 I'll leave him with
you until l bring back the money
"All right" said Hans, 81 just
want him for little while, so can
show him TO some smart people that |
know around here.
So everything was settled, the mon
ey paid, etc, and as the ventriloqnist
went out he turned and waved his
hand to the dog and said: "Well,
goodbye Jack. I'll come back soon. y
you mean son Of gun, to sell me
for $50 after all I've done for you
So help me Moses, l will never speak
another word as long as live J.
And he didn't.

A Splendid Public Building.

For 80 years Philadelphia has been
building the City Hall Now, practi-
cally complete, it has been turned
over from the Building Commission
to the city, Chief Executive, and it is
the finest municipal building any
where in the world.
Twenty-Five million dollars is eI-
pect,l TO be the cost of this remsrka-
bic municips structure. Ofthat sum,
$24, ,3O6,O58 has already been spent.
William Penn himself marked ont the
site when he planned the city in 1851,
and nearly two hundred years later,
in 1870, the State Legislature created
the Building Committee, which has
now at last put a municipal palace on
PeDn's site. The actual work on the
building was begun in 1871.
1t is not only the finest municipal
building, but the largest City Hall in
the world also. 1t covers an area Of
Al acres, and contains total floor
space of IA! acres. II contains 634
rooms, and its central tower is 547lO
fees high, the tsllest in the world.
In the tower is the largest clock
ever made, run by compressed air,
and standing $50 feet above the street.
Eighty million cubic yards Of brick,
10000 cubic yards of dressed marble
and double as much ordinary stone
have been used in buildingit it.
A separate line Of water mains near
ly three miles long supplies the build
ing with water, and more than half a
million gallons is used every twenty
four hours. There are twenty eleva-
tors in constant use for passenger SER
vice alone aud for the building court
rooms aud Offices half million dol
lars has been expended for furniture
and fixtures alone.

Bridges and Vibration.

There are very few bridges in the
world over which troops are allowed
to march in regular step. In general.
when coming to a bridge, particularly
a suspension bridge, the drums or
bands are stopped, thea array is broken
and the soldiers pass over without
keeping step, or rather taking pains
not to keep step. The reason is found
in the fact that a very slight initial
vibration, if continued, is impaired to
The whole structure, and in short
time becomes so strong a downward
strain at every recurrence as speedily
to endanger the safety Of the strong.
est bridge
The same principle is illustrated in
some houses, which can be made to
tremble from roof 10 foundation by
persistently and regularly pressing
ing with the foot on loose board in
one OF the floors. A similar curious
circumstance is seen in the case OF
certain churches in which il il dan.
gerous to play the heavy pedal pipes
Of grand organ, for the reason that
the vibration becomes 30 great as to
shatter the panes Of glass in the win
dows and even to imperil the safety
OF the roof.

Let Girls Stick to the Farm.

Farmers daughters who leave COM
Portable homes to seek uncertain EN-.
ployment in town, often make mis-
take. There are few cases where the
same amount Of energy and industry
expended at home would not bring
equal results, besides the comforts and
safeguards that are retained.
Most girls could obtain the use Of
an acre or two of land. and on this
they might produce something profit
able. Eggs, guaranteed strictly fresh,
pure honey, fat squads, plump and
tender chickens-sll these good things
are desired by city folks and many of
them are willing to pay good price
for articles that are always kept up to
the mark in quality. The raising of
these may mean some hard work, but
not so hard or confning as standing
all day behind counter, or sitting at
a sewing machine or typewriter.
A New Jersey woman some years
ago planted a fourth Of an acre Of
Tom Thumb cucumbers, tended them
with care, and picked them according
70 an old family recipe. She sold
them first by retail grocer, but when
they became known she was able to
sell them to the best wholesale trade
and makes a tidy sum.
