quently. the negative answer is hurled
back hy HIS friends at the inquisitive
members Of the third House
The prospect OF much discussion on the
matter OF finance on the floor Of the
House has sent many OF the members
scurrying 20 libraries ard cid files Of the
Congressional Record to inform them
selves as fully as possible on the ques-
ton.
Among the members who have been
reading avariciously on the subject is
Joseph T. Johnson. and he has made the
discovery that. according to analogy. the
present session may pass on with roth
ing definite being done.
Among the references Mr.. johnson has
been reading is the Record. in which he
found some 100 pages of debate over the
same question that has been brought up
by Senator Tillman in the Senate, and by
Mr.. Williams, in the House-the question
OF why clearinghouse certificates should
not pay the 10 per cent tax imposed upon
other bank issues.
The same question came up in 1893. when
Springer was chairman of the House
Committee on Banking and Finance. As
chairman. he favored the adoption OF the
Brawley BILL introduced by the member
from South Carolina, permitting the ex-
emptiOn of clearinghouse certificates
from the tax When II came to the
House however. Cox offered an amend
ment calling for the repeal Of the 10 per
cent tax on State bank issues. and thus
the bill died without any substitute leg
islation. the final vote on the original
proposition being III TO loo.
THAT was fourteen years ago" said
Mr.. Johnson. and the same questions
that have come up so far this session
we're threshed out in that Congress. with
the result that nothing was really done"

Moral Effect of Athletic.
Frnn Amy and NaIr Life

From Amy and Navy Life.
Aside from its physical effect. the moral
effect of athletics in the case Of the SOL
der. at least. is OF no small value My
experience has been that men are less
likely to drink IN the football or baseball
season, even though they may be ad-
dicted TO the use of intoxieants. And this
though no special effort may have been
made along these lines by those in charge
Of the sports. The class of men who go
in for athletics and excel in such contests
are the most desirable soldiers and the
best all-around men, Still another ad-
vantage Of athletics is that good athletic
teams and the reputation for a post OF
having champion teams draw good re-
cruits and soldiers to enlist there

Parcels Post Facts.

From the Pathfinder.
The European countries have long been
using the parcels post 10 advantage In
England an eieven-pound parcel is car
ried for p cents. SO prompt is the gov
eminent in handling the parcels that the
retail houses and laundries in the cities
find 1t cheaper 10 deliver by parcels post
than BY delivery wagon. BY paying a
small fee extra. immediate delivery is
secured, as the special delivery Of a letter
IS secured In this country. Besides this,
up TO a certain amount practically all
the goods sent by parcels post are in
sUred- In Germany an eleven-pound par
eel can be sent for u cents, and those
weighing as much as 10 pounds may be
sent for little over 60 cents. Even such
things as trees are sent by parcels post
over there.

An Embarrassing Possibility.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
1t would be instructive for the voters
to know just how much has been given

GIRL SUICIDED But Her
g.. MOTHER THINKS IT MURDER

Colorado Springs, July 31--All sug-
2icion against Amos r. Rumbaugh
IS The slayer OF Miss Laura Matthews
vas removed through a verdict of
lie cororer's jury this afternoon. The
verdict reads !:
I'VE, the jury empanelled to in
quire; into the cause of the death Of
Laura Matthews, find that she came.
to he death from a gunsiaot wound
inflicted with suicidal intent. 4.
An inquest was later held over the
remains of Amos h.. Rumbaugh, who
shot himself through the head yes
terdsy and died today. me verdict
was that he came to his dsath by his
own hand "
Suspicion for time pointed to
Rumbaugh as having caused the
death of Miss Matthews because Of
his apparent infatuation for the
young woman and his failure to ap,
pear at the inquest as witness.
Miss Tillie Green, of Scottville,
Mich. who was Miss Matthews nurse
and whose effects had been held by
the authorities pending developments
is declared in no way to blame for the
Young woman's rash act.
Claims She Was Murdered.
Chicago, July Sc. E. Coey. who
has been prominently mentioned in
the developments following the sui
eide of Laura Matthews, at Colorado
Springs, held a conference today
with Mrs. Jennie Matthews, mother
of the girl, who arrived here today
from Kansas City. At the conclu-
! sion of their interview Coey said ::
II believe that Miss Matthews
death is a plain case of murder. In
my opinion Rumbaugh committed the,
deed and sent the telegram calcula.-
ed TO throw suspicion on me as be-
ing the cause of the girls suicide.
''About ten days ago I wrote Miss
Mathews a cheerful letter, and she
was talking of returning to Chicago.
Rumbaugh was evidently afraid OF
losing tie girl
Mrs Matthews absolutely refused
to accept the theory of suicide
Rumbaueh Was Married
Pittsburg, July 31-The suicide OF
Amos R. Rumbaugh at Colorado
Springs yesterday has cleared the
mystery of his disappearance from
his home at Mount Pleasant, Pa,
near here, two weeks ago. Rum
baugk WAS married and was one of
the most prominent citizens of Mount
Pleasant
| Two weeks ago last Monday he
| left home without indicating to his
wife or relatives whittier he was 60
ing. His relatives say rhey never
heard of Laura Matthews or of the
C. E. Coey mentioned in the Colorado
Springs dispatches.
