Thirteen Persons Killed i'm a Church.
Thirteen persons were killed and up
ward of fifty injured, some probably ia
tally, by the collapse of the flooring of the
Fleet Street African Methodist Episcopal
Church in Brooklyn, N. Y. OF those killed
ten were women, two men and one child.
The building was an ancient, ramshackle
frame structure erected sixty years ago in
the heart of the colored section of Brooklyn.
Funeral services were being held in the
auditorium. which is on the second floor of
the building. the ground floor being used
by the Sunday school, and was crowded
with an audience of upwards of 800 per-
sons. of whom the majority were women.
The congregation was waiting III silence
for the arrival of the body and Pastor ia
cebs was standing at the altar awaiting
the summons to meet the funeral profess
sion at the door, when splintering of
numbers was heard and in an instant the
half of the auditorium nearest the door
collapsed, carrying down more than 100
persons, who were crushed IN the wreck
age of the flooring and pews A great vol
ume of dust for few moments hid from
view the victims The remainder of the
congregation, finding themselves cut off
from the door and expecting every instant
the rest of the flooring would collapse un-
der them, fought madly to reach the win
dows and in some instances leaped from
them and sustained serious injuries.

INHERITANCE TAX BILL
Important Revenue Measure Before
the Legislature.

indianapolis correspondence:
Senator Wickwire of the Steuben-
Dekalb district, is the author of the inn
portant Inheritance tax bill which has
passed the Senate, and yet the measure
does not bear his name. Attorney Cen
eral Miller discovered that the bill, being
a tax measure, must under the constitu-
ton originate in the House, whence all
revenue measures must spring. He
therefore has had a duplicate of the bill
introduced in the House, so it will be
Senator Wickwire's bill after all, which,
if passed, will become the law.
The Legislature passed a bill of this
character two years ago, but it was
thought to be faulty by Gov. Durbin,
who felt constrained to veto it. This
year Senator Wickwire made a search
ing study of the Illinois law ON the sub
ject, and Incorporated the main features
of the Illinois act in his bill. As the
Illinois courts have passed upon the act,
this seemed the safe thing to do to in
sure law which would stand fire in lit
igation.
Senator Wickwire spoke in behalf of
his bill, which passed the Senate with
big majority. Among other things, he
said:
to meet the expenses necessary to the con-
duct of the state government. Demand at
ter demand is made upon this Legislature
for appropriations; many Of these demands
absolutely must be met and most of them
are eminently just. But money must be
collected before it is paid out. There is
but one way in which the State can collect
money and that Is by the imposition OF
taxes in some form. The right of govern
ment to levy taxes depends upon the pro-
lection it gives to those by whom the tax
is paid and therefore, as every owner of
property has the protection of the law, he is
justly required to pay a share of what it
costs. 1t has been proposed to increase
the general tax levy In order to insure the
necessary income. / say to you that the
common people pay taxes enough. | am op-
posed to the placing Of heavier burdens
upon the men of moderate means. They
are now taxed upon everything which they
have and the State ought not to add to the
burdens that they bear.
/ find upon the statute book Of the State
Of Illinois a law which has been in opera
tion in that State for ten years. adding to
its revenue the sum of S917,377 In two
years. Senate bill 1913, which is modelled
ON the same lines. provides: That the di-
statute of descents, or by will, estate
in excess Of $4,000, shall take the excess
over $4,000, less 81 ON the 500. That dol
lar the State keeps as toll. 1t tolls the
second $4,000 to the amount of 500 only
1t tolls what he gets over $1,000, but
takes nothing from him that he has. Under
the proposed law those who are collateral
kindred to the decedent will take their leg
acies subject to toll on amounts so re-
ceived in excess of s., 000 Those who airs
not kin to him, but strangers to his blood,
will take what they get subject to a toll
In the excess Of $500.

SCo IF all the cities,
With their culture and their code,
Wfat brings you to my doorway
BY the lone and starry road?
You may come with seven pack-mules
You may walk or steam or ride.
But you'll never. rever know me
TIL you come without a guide.
You may come with rod and level,
With compass and with chain,
To Parcel me for profit.
And tarter me for gain;
You may tell my age in cons
By the scars on drift and slide:
Rrt you'll never, never know me.
Till you learn how I abide.
You may range my slopes for silver;
You may wash my sands for gold;
You may tally every jewel,
Till my gems have all been told.
You may cross my widest canyon,
You may top my last divide,
But you'll never, never know me
Till you watch me wonder-eyed.
You must sleep for nights together
With your head upon my breast,
The companion of my silence,
The receiver of my rest.
You may come with all your wisdom,
To subdue me in your pride,
But you'll never never know me
Till you love me like bride.

Mission of the Wise Men.

When the wise men came from the
East to found Christmas day, they
VI ere mastered, not by religious con-
servatism, but by Christian expecta-
ton. They were dominated, not by
reason, but by intuition-by the
genius represented in Job and in Da-
vid rather than by the calculation OF
Jacob or the saws of Solomon. This
world is saved not by profit-taklng
merely, but by prophet-giving. A few
wise men from the East, acting on IN
sight, created that glad epoch OF de-
light in self-sacrifice which we call
Christmas Politics and worldly wis
dom fought Christmas to the quick.
but Christmas was conducted from
the upper air resourding with rhyth-
mic benedictions not only OF peace
but of peace based on good will.
