HIGHER GAME
FEE ADVOCATED
A. D. Poole Makes Sue-
eeStiOnS TO Tax
Board
D. W. LYNCH SPEAKS
OF MERCANTILE TAX

At an open session of the state
Revenue and Taxation Commission
this morning in the city Hail, A. d.
Poole. president of the Delaware Game
Association. advocated an Increase cf
the game license fee on residents, non
residents and the appointment Of
game commission. The meeting was
held to hear objections or suggestions
as to new forms of taxation TO be
taken up by the commission. and was
for New Castle county. Meetings will
be held for the other counties
In placing his ideas before the COM
mission, Mr.. Poole declared the license
fee in this State for non-r residents alb
surdly low, and referred to the S1O.5O
license for non-residents of New Jer-
sey, $40 for Pennsylvania and the IS
to S25 fee in Maryland according to
the county. He alluded to the invas-
ion Of the State by the riff raft" of
Philadelphia as an argument for a
higher nonresident tax. The present
tax for non residents here is 50 for
the first year and 50 for each year
thereafter. Mr.. Pooel was for in
creasing the fee to $40.
He also suggested the imposition Of
an "alien" tax because of the many
unnaturalized foreigners here and
named a number Of States which have
such a fee.
He referred to the Alabama game
laws as a model for consideration.
There the nom resident fee Is SIS. resi-
dent fec SO for State in general, and
81 in a hunters own county.
Suggesting the appointment of a
game commissioner to enforce the
laws he saw possibility of an appre-
ciable income.
Any idea of increasing the resident tax
was disfavored by the commissioners, but
to the end of considering further the
other suggestions, they authorized the
secretary to send for copies of the
Farmers Bulletin. No. 1885, Game Lows
Of Delaware.
ID. w. Lynch was he only other to ap-
pear before the board. He protested
against the present manner of levying
the mercantile tax in the city, which is
based upon a merchants purchases OF
the past year. He was "horrihed" al
the amount of false oaths and urged that
[ the tax be levied in some other manner
He suggested that a tax be placed OF
amount Of business done, to be judges
by a board of appraisers.
Il see merchants doing twice as mucl
business as 1 do. but they pay no NOR,
tax" said Mr. Lynch.
Suggestions for making the oaths mori
effective and Of taxing on the stock wer,
considered Mr.. Lynch thought that bet
ter results would be obtained by elimi
mating the oath. One plan considered wa
that of giving a reduction when figures
submitted by merchants were substan
tiated.
The commission will hold a private ses
sion this afternoon in the rooms Of tn
Street and Sewer Board.

INDIANS CRITICISM CT AKr.
catfln's Paintings Were Declared t.
Be the Real Thing.

-Four Indians from a Nebraska res
eryation who came to Washington to
dun Uncle Sam for some lands they
claim were never paid for took a stroll
through the national museum, says the
Washington Star.
They were anxious to see them
selves as others see them, so they in
spected the collection of Indian paint
ings by Catlin and looked long and
critically at the life-size figures in
cased in glass, intended to represent
Indian life in its various phases.
Ugh" remarked Blue Feather, ap-
pearing immensely pleased as he gazed
on a cooking camp fire scene. 1T is
very good" said Hiram Chase, who
was guiding the party. He has been
district attorney for Thurston county,
and has been admitted to practice in
the federal supreme court, the first
indian ever enjoying this distinction.
These exhibits are true and nat
ural, he told the musuem officials.
And Catlin's paintings of the early
chiefs are exact reproductions of our
men of that day. l am no art critic.
| could not tell O Rembrandt from a
Remington, but l know that Catlin's
pictures are the real thing, just as my
father and grandfather used to look
before Uncle Sam tried to make us
different and year his kind of clothes
and eat his kind of food and let the
West Pointers and Tommy Burns and
the others do all the country's fighting.
THE only criticism the Indians have
to make of American art, as applied to
themselves, is the new artists, who
have never travelled beyond the limits
of Pennsylvania avenue. Any one who
knows anything knows that the facial
expression of the Indian of to-day is
meek and subdued. Sometimes his
face lights up like the setting sun at
some pleasure or Renaissance, but he
is never ferocious looking. The new
artist ought to study evolution"

Routed Washer with Siphon.

A soda siphon, a masher and an
irate husband played the leading roles
in a sidewalk drama near Seventeenth
and G streets the other evening, ac-
cording to the Washington Post. 1t
appears from the statements of eye
witnesses that as a government con-
tractor and his pretty wife left a drug
store and were proceeding to their
home in the neighborhood a fellow
who was standing near a saloon
Knocked the laugh of the wife and
otherwise acted in an Objectionable
manner. Then, following the wife, who
was accompanied by her better half,
the masher deliberately turned about
and peered im%pudently into the wom-
ans eyes. The husband, who was car
rying a siphon of soda, as quick as a
flash turned the stream of efferves-
cen liquid full into the fellows face,
and IS he began to retreat toward the
saloon door, the husband followed, the
meanwhile deluging the masher with
the soda. The crowd that had col
lected laughed, the husband said
things and the masher rushed into
the saloon to dry his garments and
think it owe

LESS DRINKING IN THE NAVY.
Retired Admiral Says Conditions Have
Changed for the Better.

The navy is not what 1t was in the
old days." said a retired real admiral
while on his way home from his club
one evening. THE amount of liquor con-
sumed is in the proportion of a thimble
to a barrel. 1t vas not an uncommon
thing, during my early career, for Of
ficers to return drunk from shore leave
and they were permitted to go to their
quarters and sleep off the intoxica-
ton. If an officer were to return
aboard a modern ship under the in
fiuence of liquor charges would be
preferred against him Immediately.
why, l remember two of my ship
mates who had been painting the town
with convivial colors coming down to
the cutter awaiting them in a condi-
ton which necessitated their use of
both sides of the street. They got
safely into the boat. 1t began to rain,
and they hoisted their umbrellas. Up
on arrival at the ship one of them
slipped in mounting the ladder and
fell overheard. The other CALAMITY
jumped after him. No difficulty was
experienced in getting the first I'M
fortunate, but the hero could not be
pulled out of the water. Finally a rope
was tied around his ankles, several
men hauled away. and he was hoisted
on deck. AS he was dragged from the
water it was seen that the obstacle
to his easy rescue was his umbrella
which had remained open.
why did you not let go of your
umbrella?' he was asked.
"Well, you see (hic) it was wet
there and l needed the darned thing to
protect me from the Damp"

Hypnotized by corteivou.

Secretary Cortelyou h~ypnotized
me" said a western banker at the Will
lard hotel, Washington, mot by his
hypnotic eye. If he has that l didn't
notice it. 1t was the shake of the
head. That isn't good descriptive work,
either. He doesn't shake 1t, he moves
it ever so slightly. And it seems to
fit almost every situation, from Mr..
Cortelyou's point of view. You tell
him a long story-or, to be exact, I
did. 1t was q business story, and It
seemed important to intentionally
important. Incautiously, l put a ques-
ton at the end of it and waited. /
waited quite a while. Then there was
a perceptible movement from side to
side Of the secretary's head. This In
terested me and / asked some more
questions-Quite q number. Not that
I cared, you see, but to carry out an
experiment. When I arose to go, al
most Immediately after MI. Cortelyou
had got up, he said he was glad to
have seer me. / wonder II he meant
anything by that?"

Strict Order of Precedence,

The ranking lady in any company
in Washington must always be the
first to leave. Cabinet ladies call first

the cabinet ranks the senate. Justices
of the supreme court rank the cabinet,
justices and senators both claim prece.

self. Wives and daughters of ad

A clear head is necessary to run a

For the past five years. writes a

starve me to death. First I was diet
ed on warm water and toast until I
was almost starved; then, when they
would let me eat, the indigestion
would be right back again.

This country will not suffer from
the departure of hundreds or even
thousands of immigrants who are now
making their way back to the old
world. These men show by their act
that they did not come over here with
the intention of becoming American
citizens, but simply for the purpose of
earning money faster than they could
at home. 1t is not likely many of
them will ever come back again, says
the Baltimore American, and the
United States will be better off with
out them.
