PAID NOTHING FOR
 sao7,o OF STOCK.

Philadelphia. May .5.-Revelatlons concerning stockholders in soft coal mining companies by officials of the Pennsylvania railroad were made yes terdav. when the interstate commerce commission resumed it's investigation in it's alleged discrimination by rall- reads in the distribution of ears.
 Three high officials of the railroad, First Vice Resident John F. Green, Third Vice President Samuel Req and William A Patton. assistant to the president at Philadelphia, were the important witnesses of the day.
 MT. Patton was under examination the greater part of the morning, and was an unwilling witness. The per sistent questioning of Attorney Glas- sow for the commission. however, brought out the fact that Mir. Patton had acquired stock, the par value of which is $307,0O in various coal com ranies. without cost to himself. Tie explained. however. that he had sign ed notes obiea'ing himself for his share of the losses, and declared ms telief that it was proper for him to ac- ccpt the stock under those conditions.

DEMhNI EOS sTEe. CARS


 The New York Sun says; Since 1900 seventy postal clerks, substitutes and weghers have been killed in rail road wrecks while on duty, 444 have been injured seriously and 1 ,G63 have been hurt slightly, The clerks in the railway postoffice service are among the most expert employees of the gov crnment and the department is seek ing cont inually 10 improve the con- ditions under which they work, lessen the dangers that surround them and protect their lives and the valuable property in their care.
 In 1903 the government adopted specifications for the construction of mail cars requiring them to be heav- fer and more substantial than those then in use. In May. 1901, these spec. ifications were revised and further strengthening of the cars was re Guired The railroad companies have also been experimenting with i'm proved rolling stock. the Erie building an all steel car and the New York, New Haven X Hartford two: the Pennsylvania road is drafting plans for an all-steel car and the Santa Fe company has contracted for thirty nine steel-sheathed cars, with under frames and flooring of steel. the floors finished with cement. felt and wood. All these cars are much heavier than those previously in use Under the department specifications of 1904 full sixty-foot car weighs 100000 pounds, or 10000 pounds more than one built on the plans adopted in 1905 The clerks prefer the large. heavier cars. which they believe to be safer in accidents than the others. Yet in a wreck on Texas railway fifty foot car telescoped sixty-foot car of later build and much greater weight. and was itself practically undamaeed.
 One of the steel cars now in use has been in an accident The postal clerks have great. faith in them, feel ing that they are practically inde- structible and almost sure 10 preserve the lives of all who are in them. It is likely that steel mail cars will some days be required by'the govern ment. and when they are it. is not improbable that the public. will de mand substitution of metal cars, or cars so heavily reinforced with stee! as to be practically the same thing. for all wooden passenger coaches. 2

AMERICANS oe1ecf,ro !
 PARIS rREArY.

Washington. D. C.. May* 25,-Sam- uel Pearcy... formerly of Tennessee, now one of the largest lapdholders on the Isle of Pines, and his brother, Captain Joe Pearcy of Nashville, representing American citizens of the island, consulted yesterday afternoon with Chairman Jenkins of the house judiciary committee about the Isle of Pines treaty pending in the senate.
 Their contention is that the island, almost entirely owned by Americans. became American territory under the treaty of Paris. after the Spanish smerican war. and cannot be alienat- ed except by an act of congress. and that the pending treaty under which the island would be given to Cuba. would prevent planters on the Isle of Pines from enjoying free trade with :he United States.

WILLIAMS AND CANNON CLASH,

Washington May 25-When the house met yesterday an unusual scene occurred immediate ely after the approv- al of the journal Mr Williams, the minority leader. demanded the yeas ard nays on the motion of MT. Adams of Pennsylvania to go into committee of the whole for the further considera- ton of the diplomatic eoncular bill. This demand was refused. the speaker holding that one-ifth of the members present had not risen to demand the yeas and nays.
 "I demand that the other side be taken" called out Mir Williams. be- coming considerably agitated.
 The speaker up to this time
 been calm and unruffled. He refused tc take the negative on a rising vote. stating that but short time before it had been demonstrated that a quo rum of the house was present.
 Then Mir. Williams became angry and thundered out protest against the ruling of the speaker, insisting that the demand was within his par iiamentary right. a right recognized by the rules of the house.
 Excitement followed the remark of Nr. Williams, and the speaker. nettled at the manner Of the floor leader of the minority, decisively replied that the rules were silent on the point, and that he was wholly within the consti- tuition when he refused to take the other side when an insufficient number rose to demand the yeas and nays.
 The speaker pounded the desk while MT. Williams continued to speak, his words being drowned by the noise of the gavel and the excite ment on the floor. Leaving Mir. Will Hams standing. the speaker descended from the desk and Mir. Curtis of Ne braska took his place as chairman of the committee of the whole and gen. e,al debate on the diplomatic and consular bill was resumed.

INCOME OR INHERITANCE TAX.

In Great Britain man with an in- come of $2000 year pays $62.50 in hard cash, to the Government each year as income tax If his income Is $3500 he must pay $175, and for all incomes over that size the rate is the -one-twentieth of the income. Only incomes of less than $500 are entirely exempt.
 Also in Great Britain there is an inheritance tax so heavy that it ab sorbs s per cent of all estates of $5,- GOO, GOO value or over, decreasing however, for smaller estates, so that for the smallest it takes only 1 per cent of their value.
 From the inheritance taxes the British treasury gets upward of $5O.- O0O.OOO and from the income taxes upward of $110,OOo,0oO year. h. deed, with higher tax rate. the yield of the income tax has been as much as $190.UU0, ,0o0
 In Gerhiany over 10 per cent of the income Of the states comes from the income tax. In Italy over 16 per cent. In France over yer cat. In Spain about per cent. In Sweden over II per cent.
 The inheritance tax which gives Great Britain about g per cent of Its total revenue gives Belgium ove per cent. and is said 10 be in practical use in almost all of the European countries except Russia and the Bal, kan states
 If President Roosevelt. some day in the future, decides that the time has come to formulate system for prosressive inheritance taxes he will find plenty of material to aid him on the technical side i'll the eNperi- ences of many other countries with their progressive taxation. The i'll, come tax is forbidden to our Federal soyernment until the constitution is amended Or the Supreme court reyerses itself. but the inheritance /. tax is within the power Of Congress to impose.

FINDS THE CARS ARMY
AND NAVY NERVOUS
Doctor Sees Cause for Concern in Pres
ent Morale Of the Rank and
File.

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 11.-Dr. Pa
krosvkv, writing in one of the medical
Journals. gives an interesting account
OF a psychological study ne has made
Of tbz present morale Of the Russian
army rank and file. He states that with
the system Of very short service with
the colors. the Russian soldier never
loses touch with the people. and that
he reflects all the varying popular moods
and passions
81 Great psychological change IS gong
on in the Russian army which is be-
coming a barometer, showing the force
and movements of the people as
whole He says:
THE remedies the authorities are
seeking 10 apply to it can be ettectuaI
oniv on the assumption that the army
has no ties uniting It TO the Russian
people
II feel bound to declare adds the
doctor. that the nerves Of the soldiers
are shaken. and that in consequence
they are peculiarly susceptible 10 the
influence of political agitators-
There is. however, speedy reaction
TO every stimulation, and a consequent
weakening of the restraining faculties
I regard this nervous state of both the
navy and army as justifying extreme
anxiety as 10 the future course OF
events"

CUPID DIDN'T TELL.
BUT REPORTERS DID
And So Miss Hall and Mr..
OSuander Got Found
Out.

Cupid swished his wings saucily last
Saturday week as he came flying over
from the direction OF Baltimore. and
suspicious were pointed at the little god.
His sly little wink was not sufficient
10 convince certain people that he had
not been up 10 mischief. and. as usual.
he has been found out. but again. as
usual too late 20 spOi his game.
Just week ago last Saturday Miss
Hattie J. Han and William Ostrander
slipped over to Baltimore In little
more than an hours time they were on
the train again bound for Washington,
but there was no Miss Hall. In her
stead was Mrs. William Ostrander, and
until today. the friends Of the young
couple have not known OF the runaway
marriage.
Like many another young couple who
cannot resist Cupid's wiles. but who
Ike secrets above everything else in the
world. Miss Hall and Mr.. OstFander
eloped with che idea OF telling no one
Of their marriage. but just keeping II
all 90 themselves until later day They
counted without their host. however
the host in this case being the news
paper fraternity Of Baltimore. which got
wind OF the marriage, promptly gave IL
a little space IN the Sunday papers, and
the jig was up. Mr.. OstrandeT's father
was leisurely perusing the columns of
the paper when his eve fell on the we'd
ding announcement How the notice got
into the papers nobody could tell but
IL was there nevertheless, an6 was al
most the first thing the elder Mr.. Os-
t'dndcr saw.
When confronted with the announce
ment young Mr.. Ostrander acknowledge
ed that he had been married and even
then 10 was decided that 10 word OF
the event should be let drop among the
friends OF both families. This policy
was closely followed until today, when,
through one Of those mysterious agen-
Giles that always seem 10 be at work
when there IS a romance on hand. the
whole thing leaked out.
Mr.. and MS G5trancer are at present
