William Austin Of Florence
was up in the Municipal court last
Thursday afternoon On a complaint
made BY his wife. Mrs. Austin
stated she was afraid Of him, and
wished him to be placed under
bonds to keep the peace. Mr..
Austin put up the bond required
and was released. "A rumor was
abroad that Austin attempted to
hang himself last week, giving as
a reason therefor that he was ha-
raised BY his wife, but this story
is denied by Mrs. Austin, who
states that she did not harass her
husband into attempting suicide,
as reported. She admits the at
tempt at suicide, but denies the
rumored cause. They have been
married several years, but on ac-
count Of marital troubles the sea
of matrimony has lately been
somewhat troubled.

INCOMES SMALL IN BERLIN
Interesting Figures Compiled from
Assessment Rolls.
More Than One-haIf of the Taxed
Persons Earn Less than
STA a Year.

Consul George Nicolas Int, OF Anna
berg. states that the official summary OF
the tax commissioners of the city Of Ber-
lin for the year 1906. which has Just been
published. presents mass OF figures
showing conditions of living in the sec
ond city Of continental Europe and the
fourth largest city in the world. The con-
sui complies the figures in regard to the
income-tax assessments:
The population Of Berlin In 1905 Is given
as 2,040,l4S, and OF this number the tax
commissioners, after deductng nontax-
able children under fourteen years OF
age, the military, and others by law ex-
empted. found that there were, in round
figures. l.125.3o0 persons subject to as
sessment for income tax Nearly half
this number however. was found to have
incomes OF less than $214 per year. and
therefore in Berlin. are exempt from in
come tax. CThe minimum varies. In
some German states being as low as S100l
On the ineome-tax rolls there were eo0.-
S99 names OF these SO had incomes OF
from S2l4 to S2S5 per year, and 22s,s7s had
incomes of from s2s6 10 S114 per year.
Thus il Is seen that OF the 500. .S99 persons
assessed for income tax 5429 9Ss had in
comes Of less than STA per year, and only
SSH persons were found with incomes
greater than that amount. Above that
figure the classes dwindle rapidly. There
were 46.1S1 persons with incomes from STA
TO $3.50; 1880 with incomes from $3.50
to Sll.900: ll03 with incomes from si1 500
10 S23 500: 470 with incomes from s23. 800 to
$4,000; % with incomes from SlIs000 10
s25S. 600; with incomes from s2SS, 600 to
S47S, ZOO; with incomes from $4,000 to
S7l4o0O. and 2 with incomes over $4,000
per year.
This means that Of the 1.125,000 persons
in Berlin who support themselves or
themselves and families only sssll, or
less than Ii per cent, have incomes Of
t714 or more per year About 1865 O0a
have less than that amount. and more
than half Of these even less than s214
per year.
No part Of the income Of the man who
works for his money often escapes as
sessment for income tax. The maid ser

what her board and lodging would

Every land or waterwork owner whose
plant is located below dam, or who de-
rives a benefit from The same, must be
member OF the association. and the
membership contributions are regulated
according TO the benefit the members de-
rive from the dams. either by protection
against damage, use OF water, or both.
The membership rate varies from s203 10
S1,0i5 year The money needed to pay
the cost OF constructing the dams named
was partly raised by subvention.
The Austrian government contributed 20
per cent, the CroWnland OF Bohemia the
same amount: the governments Of Sax

will pay a subventIon Of about s1e6. zoe,
while the balance is to be raised by the
membership rates Of the association.

contemplating the erection of dams, the
plans of which are being drawn Il Is
