Taxing Mortgages.

New York Evening Post.
 In letter published elsewhere, MT. Ehal F. HalL former member of the New York bar, now residing in Mont gomery, Ala, points out that the Su- preme Court of the United States has twice held that a State cannot extend It's power over foreigners so as to tax the claims held by them against citizens of the State. Such claims, said the Court in one of these claims, decided in 1872, are ''as much beyond the jurisdiction of the State as the person of thu owner" These decisions are directly in point when we are considering the mortgage tax. A mortgage on real estate in New York Is the sign and evidence of the claim held by a lender against a borrower. The lender may be 8 citizen of another State, or country. He may or may not pay to his own State or country tax on the claim, but under our Constitution and system of government he cannot be called upon to pay a tax on 1t In a jurisdiction other than that of his domicile. This fact alone ought to be decisive against the Mortgage Tax bill. But there are so many decisive arguments against 1t that We marvel how 1t ever entered into the minds of either Governor or Legis- lature as possibility.
 CThere was an interesting controversy on this subject between MT. Hall and the late David A. Wells of Connecticut, who died in 1898. The point taken by MT. Hall was upheld by the United States Su- preme Court in the case of Kirtland V. Hotchkiss decided in 1879, and reported in 10. Otto. 49l.-Ed. Advertiser)

 APO JONES-There were several Peter Jones queries and answers in this column last year and among them are two that will answer query.
 No. 420 Mrs. Flournoy Rivers of Pulaski, Tenn, is a descendant of Peter Jones' who founded Petersburg, through
 Lieutenant Binn Jones, his gand-son She has published notes on her ancestry. The foalloV1ng notes were contributed by N. For all information I can furnish I refer you to my fathers book recently pub lished entitled "A Genealogical History by Cadwallader Jones'" It can be ob- tatned from the R. L. Bryan Book Store, Columbia, s. C., price $1. I quote from the book as follows: We turn now to known ancestors, and trace the direct pedigree of this line to Richard Jones. He was of Welch extraction, married Lady Jeffries of the Manor of Ley, and settled in Devonzhire, England had been a merchant In London They had five sons; CadwaIlader William, Richard Abram, and Frederick. The four first came to Virginia at an early period of the settlement of that colony, leaving Frederick the youngest with his parents in England Abram Jones who died prior to 1889 Henrico PapersJ was the next ancestor He had among other children, Thomas, Major Peter and Abram. This Peter Jones who married his cousin, Mary. daughter of Major Peter Jones and wife Mary Wood. daughter of General Abram Wood (IIenrico Papers). From this last marriage came Frederick, the father of Major Cadwalleder Jones of the Revolution. The city of Petersburg was founded by Captain Peter Jones, and his cousins Abram and Thomas Jones, sons respectively of Major Peter and Thomas Jones. It appears that the city was named for Major Peter Jones, who died in TIPS" The book Is full of family his tory, and has more on the subject than I have quoted"

ate of Bishop spalding. in Lenten sermon. spoke of the duty of children to their parents, and gave general indorsement of large fami- lies. He expressed a hope that the day would come when the children would support theii parents in their declining years.
 The opposite is too true." the Bishop said. Tn Europe we find the grown children delight ing in the care and maintenance of their par ents They remain at home long as they can and aid their fathers and mothers with their wages and when they marry they never forget the old folks. In America the opposite is true. The children as a rule leave home as soon as they can.
