SALOONLICENSES
ARE TOGOINTO
COURT
State Will Take Steps to Collect the
Additional One Hundred
Dollars.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Mar. IL.
1t can be authoritatively stated
that the state does not propose to
lose that 100000 in revenue jeop-
ardized by the action of the Demo-
cratic minority in the house OF dele
gates when they refused to allow
either the general revenue or the
assessment bill to take effect from
its passage, A test of the matter
will be made in the courts and the
issue will be fought there. The
general revenue bin which increases
the saloon license from $500 to 5000
goes into effect on May %. Under
the old law license year begins May
i, and every saloon viii no doubt
pay up for full year at the old rate
of $500. If this goes the state will
lose 500 on each of the one thous-
and saloons.
Just how to get at the situation is
matter now puzzling the state au-
thorities, but as they can take no
action until the day the law goes
into effect, there is plenty of time
for them to reach some conclusion.
1t is thought that 1t will be neces-
sary to proceed against each person
holding such license, but of course
one such case will establish a pre-
edent by which all the others will be
determined.
1t is expected that the move will
come from the tax commissioners,
who under the law is charged with
certain duties in the assessment and
collection of taxes. 1t is not likely
thar the sa1ooists win pay the extra
500 until directed to do SO by the
courts and a pretty legal fight is
expected.
By this same action on the part
of the Democratic minority the ma
tional banks for the next assessment
year will be listed in the old way,
it has been estimated the new law
would have added a valuation OF
aobut 100000 from these banks.
The tax on social clubs. II Is stat
ed, cannot be collected for the COM
ing year for the same reason. 1t
was expected to raise about SIS, 900
per year from this source.
The action of the minority in re-
gard to these bills will no doubt
cause the governor to use his veto
power on the appropriation bill to a
greater extent than will be pleasing
to him, but the appropriations must
be kept down to within. the income.
It is stated the governor will Gu.
out the bill to the extent OF about
100000. The bill is now in his
hands and the result of his work on
it will be known in a few days.

Slang of Other DAYS.

Slang has always been a fruitful
source for the expansion Of language,
and instances may be multiplied of
words now respectable which were
once tabooed as vulgar.
But, on the other hand. there have
been many slang phrases in use for
centuries which have never become ac-
ceptable to the purists. As long ago
as 1850, the celebrated letter writer,
Horace Walpole, used to speak of sit
ting guzzling" and getting drunk ss
an owl"
Then again, in the diary of one Of
the most prominent woman writer's Of
the eighteenth century, Frances Bur-
ney, are found good slang phrases Of
the American college girl of to-day. al

NARY ANNE


There was a sense of impending ca
lamity in the house.
The heavy day had arisen with weep
ing skies, and Mary Anne, finding her
occupation on the front steps gone, re-
tired indoors shaking her head.
She paused in the lower hall, near
the bottom Of the stairs, and listened
with her small head on one side like a
bird, for some sound from above.
Thus posed, one obtained an excellent
view of her, sort Of portrait study
that remained. She was well-made, the
straight angular line of her faded cot
ton frock could not altogether destroy
the shapely outline, and her feet, ex-
tremely neat and we'll shod, might have
served as an object lesson to certain
OF her slipshod class. For she was only
a general or household slavey, serving
In a dull street In lower suburbia for
the magnificent sum of twelve pounds
per annum. Her apron, though coarse,
was clean, also the small neat collar
pinned with a shamrock brooch In
front.
She had rather q long thin neck, and
a small neat face with a tremulous
womanly mouth, and a pair of lovely
ewes. Mary Anne was unaware of her
own assets; nor did she strive to make
the most OF them. She was clean and
tidy because it was her nature to DE SO,
and because she was paid to be a help
not an eyesore in strangers house.
Her code of ethics or morals was ele-
mentary, but bound her duty, which
Immediately lifted that code to the
highest plane. Mary Anne was, in
word. that particular kind Of household
treasure which is growing extremely
rare an honest hearted girl who gave
at once the service of love and duty to
the household that employed her. Was
It worthy such regard, such faithful
coin? We shall see.
1t was very early, quite two hours
before Mary Anne's appointed time for
rising. and the milkrnan had not yet
passed upon his earliest round. But
her kitchen fire was blazing cheerfully,
and her kettle was on the boil, as she
herself might have expressed it And
she had opened up the dining room and
spread a lunch cloth on the end of the
table. Someone was astir upstairs, and
her instinct, the sort of sixth sense that
never erred, had warned her that some
recognition from her of that fact might
be desirable, even If not absolutely
necessary.
Presently she heard a stealthy STEP
and stood aside, though not out of
sight, to wait until it should bring its
possessor in sight. 1t was her mas
ter. carrying a portmanteau In one
hand, and his boots In the other. At

We are asked the origin of the

its origin to the practice of present

use in Hghtships and lighthouses. To
be read in such romantic surroundings
is esteemed a privilege by popular

OIL PORTRAIT OF LINCOLN.

Other Relics in Fay Collection.

Jefferson in KoscfuscO Coat and
other Relics in Fay Collection.
James Fay, an antiquarian among
whose art objects collectors have been
wont to delve and burrow, has placed
his entire collection on exhibition in the
former building of the Harmony Club
in West Forty-second street, says the
New York Herald.
Among the paintings the most con-
spicuous is life-size portrait of Lin
coin in oils. It is we'll known that
Lincoln never sat for an oil portrait.
But this is by William Mathews, who
was the choirmaster Of the church that
Lincoln attended. and it is assumed
that he had opportunities for making
sketches from which the portrait was
painted. For years it hung in the Cor
coran gallery. A marble bust of Lin
coin was his own commission to G.
Lazzerenini, and was presented by Lin
coin to his friend, Morris Ketchum.
There is a portrait Of Thomas Jeffer-
son wearing the fur-lined coat given
by Kosciusko.
From the Jumel mansion is a high,
curious combination Of secretary and
sideboard of mahogany, with a falling
shelf and drawers and cupboards of
different sizes above and below. From
the Tuckerman house, in Washington,
is a colonial couch, which is vouched
for as the couch the pleasant duty OF
which It was once to give casual repose
to the father of his country. An un.
usual variant Of the Empire chair, but
called the washington chair" is seen
here. It's mark is the gilded head OF
Washington, almost half Iife-size, which
finishes each of the arms Of the chair
Large square Jacobean and Flemish
clothes presses, oak chairs with tbs
crest Of Henry Clay and many similar
objects of curious and historic interest
complete the collection.

Says Holmes Sold Reports.

The chief witness against Assistant
Statistician Edwin S. Holmes, on trial at
Washington for conspiring with f. A.
Peckham and Moses Haas of New York
to profit from advance knowledge Of gov
eminent crop reports, was Louis @. Van
Ripper, New York mining stock opera

introduced to Holmes at Washington by
Peckham and how Holmes then explained
his ability to let out the crop statistics
in advance and how he had already made
$4,000 by selling such information to
Theodore III. Price, the well-known cotton
operator. The witness told further how
he had subsequently paid Holmes about
$4,000 as his share of deals based 1pon
information furnished by him. After this
a regular brokerage business was organ
lied, known as Peckham & Mercer,
financed by the conspirators, for one Of
