of whom promptly searched me for

through second court leading out
from the first and down twelve steps,
In an atmosphere reeking with the
smell of carbolic acid, 1 came to
sickening spectacle. There were
twenty-eight corpses laid out, stripped
to the waist and with their upper gar
ments lying in a heap over their hips.
Eight of the number were women The
face of one girl, who appeared to be
still child, was badly disfgured One
man had gaping wound on the left
side of the forehead. The majority
were wounded in the head. None had
the appearance of having been power
ty stricken On the contrary all wore
good clothes evidently holiday gar
ments. Not one appeared to be more
than 80 years of age.
All the time there were urgent
calls of move on on the part of the

Outside I heard angry utterances,

TAKING No Chances.

During the Civil War, when the
Northern troops were getting uncom
fortably close to the capital of Vir
ginia,'' said a veteran, IAN old planter
who had been systematically robbed
first by the Union and then by the
Confederate troops, found his lardeI
reduced to some corn meal, a few veg
etables and an old rooster, who had
been secreted in the cellar One even
ing, talking over the outlook with a
faithful and sole remaining servant,
he told him to have the chicken next
day for dinner and to make it into
gumbo soup, for then it would last
longer
"Sambo set about his task and
picked the chicken and set the gumbo
to boil That night there was a great
commotion in the neighborhood, guns
firing, dogs barking and bedlam set
loose Sambo was hauled out of his
bed with the command: Get up right
away and get that gumbo soup ready.
You don't know what might happen if
we wait until dinner We might get
killed, or the Yankees might get It.
Get up and fix it and we'll eat it right
away"

DECIDING TO PUT OFF DECISION.

Each decision to put off decision OF

its perverse rebellion; and that inevi-

Indulgence. Ones conscience will

way is open; there is no promise of any

MONEY OF TWO COUNTRIES.

Enormous Incomes Accredited to Eng
land and America.
The income tax in Great Britain is
levied on $4,000, 100000 of annual in
come, and produces $155, 900, 600 of rev.
enue for the government
If Mr.. Gibsen Bowles is right in say
ing that only one-third of the national
income pays the tax, the total of in
comes of the united kingdom must be
$40, 50O,000,00O, a sum almost incon-
ceivably vast
That is only $244 a year for each
person if it were equally divided. It
isn't. Less than 100000 persons have
more than half the total income.
From money invested abroad alone
Great Britain's capitalists probably re-
ceive $1,200,0OO,00O a year of income,
though no one can tell exactly.
1t is probable that the total of pri-
vate incomes, great and small, in the
United States is over $25 900 900 900

WARSAW CITIZENS ENRAGED
AT -UNPROVOKED SLAUGHTER

The excitement at Warsaw, Poland,
following the unprovoked shooting of
citizens by the police and Cossacks,
continues intense How many were
killed probably no one ever will know.
The streets of Warsaw have been
filed with funeral professions. 1t is
asserted that seventy people died at
the corner of Jerusalem and Iron
streets and four in the Praga district

people have been crushing around the

vast scale, and 1 think the movement
may fairly be said to mark the most
interesting recent social legislation
that is to be found anywhere in the
world.
The significance of the movement in
Germany will be better understood
when it is noted that 100000 Ger
man workmen are contributing to and
enjoying the benefits of the pension
system. That significance is empha-
sized when we learn that since the
inception of the system in 1885 the to-
tai receipts have reached $1,75O, 00O,-
coo. At the present time the, annual
receipts are in excess of $4,000, 900,
an amount sufficient to make us con-
slider with much interest the economic
consequence of the plan.
