Inc oovernment.s BIO surnlus-

That tho fiscal year OF tho federal gov
ernm'nt has closed with surplus of
$4,000. 600, one OF the largest in the fnan-
cial history OF the country. is one of the
most gratifying indications that could be
given OF the firm basis Of the national
prosperity. This wonderful showing in
the light of the conditions two years ago.
when the treasury accounts showed a
dehcit Of about $4,000 600, and even Of
those Of one year ago. when there was
net balance Of s25.67oOOO, indicates the
enormous amount Of business transacted
in the United states For il must be re-
mcmbcred that tho federal revenues di-
recty reflect the state Of the countrys
commerce and industry
The income from customs alone was
1888, go, 600, which was $4,000 in excess
Of last year and greater 10y many millions
than in any previous year. So also the
internal revenue receipts exceeded those
of any year save that Of the Spanish war,
reaching the total of 500 300, 900, which is
greater by about 500 100000 than the
figures for 19O5-6 And the expenditures
for the twelve months were increased by
only SlO,OOOOO0 over the preceding year,
so that this splendid showing of the
treasury is due solely to the volume Of
the nations trades and manufactures.

land Me. and was his best customer.
He was arrested in connection with the

result of his efforts

with malice toward none with charity
for lil /. the undersigned, do pledge my
word and honor, God helping me, to alb
stain from all intoxicating liquors as
beverage, and that l will by all honor
able means, encourage others TO do the
same.
In his advocacy of temperance he knew
neither creed nor race. His purpose was
to reach hardened drunkards, those low
down in the mire, the poor and the des-
perate, fallen men and fallen women.
His was a gospel that reached the
the Gentle. the white and the black, and
as a temperance evangelist he always
made the most of his opportunities, suit
ing his talks to his hearers and making
them feel he was their friend.
AS a temperance lecturer he Travelled
many thousands of miles and addressed
more than 5000 public meetings. One
crusade in Pittsburg lasted nine weeks,

chaplain.
He is survived by two daughters and
four sons All of the sons are successful

Direct Inheritance Tax in Massachusetts.

Direct Inheritance Tax in Massachusetts.
Massachusetts, which has often blazed
the way for other states with progressive
legislation has established the principle of
the direct inheritance tax through a bill
signed last week by Gov. Guild. The
measure is supplementary TO previous
legislation taxing collateral inheritances
only. Briefly its provisions are as follows:
Collateral inheritances, above $1,000, eX-
cepting charitable, religious and educa-
tional institutions, per cent Direct in
heritances, class A father, mother, hus-
band, wife and lineal descendants, natural
or adopted, including husband OF daugh-
ter or wife Of SOM, $4,000 OF less, exempt
not exceeding S25. 900; per cent; between
$685. 900 and $1,000. per cent; between
$4,000 and 100000. s per cent; between
800 900 and $3.50, 900, 4 per cent Inherit
ances, class B (brother, sister nephew or
niece Of descendant), $1,000 or less, ex-
empt; not exceeding $4,000, per cent;
between $4,000 and 100000, 4 per cent;
above 500, 900. per cent
This law is directly in line with the sug-
gestion offered by President Roosevelt in
his speech at Jamestown and II is be-
lieved that il VIII be upheld by the courts
It applies equally to real and personal
property and il is figured to yield the
state an annual revenue of $1,000, 900 in
addition 10 the present income Of $500, 900

We're no fires although an alarm was

o. their vigilance one box was pulled in
and the fire department was called ont

serious results are feared. Antitoxin has

Another slight accident was the burning

committed suicide and that the marks
were made by striking against the rocks
in the lake. Mrs. Studley separated from
