THAT TAX DECISION.
Affects Foreign But Not Domestic
Corporations.

Denyer.-Former Attorney General
N. C. Miller, who conducted the state
case in the United States Supreme
Court for a fat tax against foreign
corporations doing busiess in the state
has given an explanation OF the state
position under the recent decision.
1.-The suit against the American
Smelling & Refining Company Tor .
state license tax was decided asains'
the state under the clause of the four
teenth amendment of the federal con
stitution, which guarantees To every
person the equal protection OF the
law" said Attorney Miller.
while numerous decisions hold tha'
a state has the right to discriminate
against foreign corporations when
they seek admission, there are no red
eral decisions which sustain the righ'
to discriminate against them after
they secure a lawful foothold in the
state. II
eff the Legislature desires to dis
criminate against foreign corporations
It must do so in the act providing fof
their admission. Eastern states are
making their laws more and more
stringent against the admission OF Tor
eign corporations.
.Ouite a considerable sum of money
has been paid under protest to the ON
GERS collecting the fat tax. In relation
to this money am of the opinion thal

from the tax by this decision. but ina

MCCARTNEY HANGED.
Pays Penalty for Murder of Edward

Canon City. Colo.-John McGarvey
the murderer of Edward lnnes AT
Grand Junction September 26th last
at 1928 O'Clock Saturday paid the
death penalty by hanging at the state
penitentiary in this city. Sixteen wit
nesses were in the death chamber
when the thirteenth execution under
the administration of Warden Cleg-
horn took place.
At Z o'clock the witnesses met in the
warden's Office. and at 1870 they
marched in solemn procession through
the prison yards to the death chamber
of the penitentiary. where in an ad-
Joining cell was the condemned uan

Catholic priest who has been his daily
religious adviser. the last words o.
comfort and consolation.
After hearing the death warrant
read by Warden Cleghorn. the CON
demned man walked with firm ster
into the death chamber.
Warden Cleghorn asked the con
demned man If he desired to make any
statement, and the reply was that he
did not. The execution then TOOK
place. and was devoid of any features
not common to all such events.
Sixteen executions have taken place
in the Colorado penitentiary since the
law designating the prison as the
scene of all legal hangings went into
effect.

THE SCIENTIFIC SPIRIT.
Some Consolation for the Patient
Afflicted with New Fa-
ral Malady.

Andrew Carnegie admires the sci
entific spirit-his generous gifts to sci

to his keen humor this spirit offers
itself as good prey. and Mr.. Carnegie

their peculiar ways. says the New

COST OF THE WHITE HOUSE
How the Expenses of the Government
Establishments Are Taken
Care OF.

A correspondent asks: "Is the presi-
dent able to save anything out of the
mere $4,000 year salary he re-
ceives?" Many people believe that the
$50 600 year which the president gets
as salary is the sum total of his official
income. 1t is a mistake, says the San
Francisco Argonaut.
This is haw he is paid: $36,064 is
given him in addition to his salary Of
$50 900 to pay the salaries of his sub
ordiuates and clerks. HIS private sec
rotary is paid $3.50, his assistant pri-
vate secretary $3.50. his stenographer
81. 500, five messengers (each) $1,000. a
steward 81, 800, two doorkeepers (each)
81 200, four other clerks at good sal
aries, ranging from $1,000 to $500;
one Telegraph operator. two ushers, ST.
200 and 81, 4OO: a night usher. $1,000: a
Waterman. 5000. and a man who takes
care of the fires. who receives 1864 a
year.
In addition to this there is given to
him IS. 900 for incidental expenses, such
as stationery, carpets and the care OF
the presidential stables. And under
another heading there is given him
nearly $4,000 more. OF this s12.5O0 is
for repairs and refurnishing the White
House, 50 800 is for fuel, $4,000 is for
the greenhouse. $4,000 is for gas.
matches and the stable. The White
House all told costs the country in con-
nection with the president considera-
bly, over s125.OO0 a year.
The president is also well to do In
his own right, having Inherited a com
petence from his father. Add to this
the royalties he has receive from his
books, his income from magazine work,
and it will be seen that the expense
incident to the marriage of Mss Alice
will by no means pinch the purse OF
the house of Roosevelt.

CHAPTER XVI.


Even surgeons may at times be mis-
taken, for they cannot foretell outside
events that are sure to have a bearing
on the case.
For instance. this grizzled army vet
eran could rot know that in less than
ten minutes after he gave his doleful
verdict a young woman should enter
the old church used as hospital and
inquire for Colonel John, declaring ii
her intention to nurse him.
Crockett Ridgeway had carried the
news.
1t was no Northern nurse. but a
lady well known in Atlanta.
So the Federal colonel, battling with
fate, threw off the fever and came into
his right mind again.
Then a cool hard pressed his brow,
and he looked up into the face of Mol
lie.
She smiled and put finger to his
lips, signifying silence. and he fore
bore to question-indeed, 1t was prob
lematical whether he could have
spoken above whisper at any rate.
After that his recovery was slow but
sure.
At length the time came when he
determined to speak.
Mollie had nursed him faithfully,
and he could no longer let that ridicul'
GUS bond stand between them. Be-
sides. her action in coming to him
had done away with 1t provisions.
He would know his fate on the NOR
row. So Colonel John decided one
night after she had made him comfort
able and left him.
That was terribly long night to
him.
At length daylight arrived. and the
hour when Mollie usually put in an
appearance; but she came not.
He wrestled between pride and fear.
Other days passed. but she came
not.

possessed himself of shovel and be-

GUS shovelfuls of dirt into a wagon,
and were so energetic about it that
they soon became exhausted and
stepped back to permit other officials
and prominent citizens to take an ac-
tive part in the ceremony, many OF
whom did so with great alacrity.
The street WAS filled with automo-
biles and wagons, while large crowd
of people surrounded the wagon into

Vice Admiral Doubassoff, ex-gov-

other attempt upon his life will be
made.
Widespread trenchery in the mill

est alarm is felt in official circles,
where 1t is believed that reign oil
terror in St. Petersburg has occurred
The assassin, who was disguised as

The crime was executed deliberately

A policeman attempted to seize the
assassin, but was shot down by the rat

1t was the signal.
Along the line OF entertainments
ran zig-zag fire and the rattle OF
guns almost continuous.
While the first rank fell back to re-
load, the second pushed forward and
took their places.
Evidently the affair was TO be de-
cided hand to hand, and no one could
foretell the result.
Every moment Colonel John had
hopes of hearing the encouraging cries
that would proclaim the coming of re-
Inducements from Sherman, but I'M
less they come very soon 1t would be
too late, since his handful of men
could not long hold their own against
such overwhelming odds.
This was only one of numerous
small battles which history had re-
corded merely in the aggregate as
series of engagements around At
lanta, in which many men were lost
on both sides. and little save glory
won.
Fortune favored the Federals in this
case, for when everything looked the
blacklist the column from Sherman
came upon the scene
Then the tables were turned.
1t was the Confederates now who
sought safety in flight, leaving many
of their heroic dead and wounded in
and around the breastworks. for the
possession of which they had fought
so long
Colonel John was down.
In the last stirring encounter he had
fallen, while leading his men into the
thick of the fight.
They carried him to the city.
Here in the hospital he was taken
in charge by experienced surgeons,
and when all had been done that was
possible they pronounced their YER
dict.
Colonel John had a fighting chance
for his life.
That was all.
To move him at that stage would
be madness, since it must result in
his death.
This meant that whether the colonel
got well or not depended upon the en-
envy, since he must be left to their
tender mercies.
Thus there came a day when the
Federal forces rode or marched out
of the city and headed In an easterly
direction.
Those who knew and loved Colonel
John had gone to the hospital to bid
him adieu.
He was in deep sleep at the time

ern wasrior-his mad devotion toward
Mollie had swerved him from the
path of an honorable gentleman. but
John could forgive now.
Now that he was rid of this anxiety
Colonel John had only to do his best
to get well.
There was dearth of nurses in the
hospital.
Southern girls had enough to do to
take care of their own wounded.
Thus it happened that those Of the
Federal sick who were in a precarious
position, lowering between life and
death as 1t were. found themselves In
a measure neglected.
Colonel John took downward
course-fever set in, and the old sur
geon in making his round shook his
head and said:
Wen have a vacancy here soon
The colonel's crisis is approaching
and he has little show to live"
