A TAX ON THE BACHELOR.
Germany Intends to See That
Cupid Has an Even Chance.

Berlin, 0ct. % bachelors are TO
be taxed II she bill which the govern.
ment proposes TO introduce at the
forthcoming session OF the diet be-
comes q law.
The bill lie the direct outcome OF a
suggestion made some time ago by
the ksiser, who, In speech referred
to she desirsbilisy oifmposing a tax
on bachelors. Al the time the sug.
gestion was regarded as a joke.
The manner In which the govern.
ment proposes to tax bachelors is to
modify the income tax In favor OF
married men with children, which
will diffeNntiate taxation In such q
way as to impose a greater burden
on bachelors and also on married
men without children than on the
heads OF families.
The bill proposes that all those
paying income tax on incomes not
exceeding 81, 900 shall be entitled to
deduct $50 Tor every child.
A differentiation In favor OF mar.
ried men with children already exists
In Prussia, 80 that the new law will
merely bring about an extension Of
the present system.
The income tax law Of 1891 pro-
vides that those paying taxes on In
comes not exceeding $3.50 are en-.
titled to deduct $12.50 for every
child. The supplementary act passed
In 1906 extends this In favor OF those
paying on incomes not exceeding
81, 900.

CAMPBELL. -BANNERMANS
BODY TAKEN TO SCOTLAND
Funeral Services in Westminster
Abbey Attended by Leaders of
Political Life in
England
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, April 27.-The funeral
service of the Church of England was
solemnized in Westminster Abbey at
noon today over the body of Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman, late premier Oh
Great Britain, in the presence OIL
large gathering, representing lne poll-
ical life of England.
After the service a short procession
moved from the abbey to Euston sta
tion. where a special train took the
coffin. some of Sir Henry's relatives
and a few of his closest friends to
Scotland. 1t was a typical gloomy
London day and a dismal rain was
falling when the cortege made its way
through the streets.
The abbey and the railroad station
each had its crowd of spectators, who
found shelter from the weather under
sea of umbrellas.
The last time a body of a premier
of England was taken to Westminster
Abbey was in 1898, when Gladstone
was buried there. The ceremony of
today held much less of display than
was seen when Mr.. Gladstone was laid
to rest, but the grandeur of the abbey
and the characters of those who as
sembled today for the last honors to
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman
formed a noteworthy historical scene.
Scores of the former premier's po-
litical associates were present, but his
two predecessors in office, Mr.. Balfour
and Lord Rosebery were unable to
attend.

ALTON, Ill, April 27.--"He eats en-

plate in yesterdays baseball game at

Some of the college boys were MAX

he could eat one. but there is no frog

gested a hoptoad.
"Never ate one" said Sapp. Don't

"Bet you 81 you can't"
Done! Put up your money"
The crowd went searching on the rear
of the LOT until cadet jubilantly held
up a hoptoad. Sapp took his medicine
and collected. Then the nearest doc
tor of medicine was called. He adj
mlnstered remedies. Sapp was able
to get up yesterday and attempted
to play ball. The three cheers and
tiger he received when he stepped
into the diamond restored his vigor,
but not enough to tempt him to an
other hoptoad, he says.

DRUCE CASE WITNESS MAY
NEVER BE PLACED ON TRIAL
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 27.-There seems
to be little chance that Robert Cald-
well, "the great American identifier," >"
will ever face an English court to an
swer to the charge of perjury that has
been made against him. He is in the
city insane hospital and is reported by
the physicians as getting weaker daily
and has has but a short time to live.
Caldwell went to England and testi-
fled in the famous Druce case that he
knew Druce as the duke of Portland
and that he arranged a false burial for
Druce, placing a roll of lead in the
coffin. When the grave was opened
Caldwel's statement proved untrue and
he escaped to America. He was in

and convenience" as she calls it, on the
lines of the Egyptian dervish costume.
1t also consists of several breadths,
loosely draped. Let me quote from Miss
Stracey's jubilant words: No hooks, no
buttons, no strings to tie! All, l re-
member" (as all women musD "the
nervous haste with which 1 used TO
stumble over buttons, get tangled in
tapes and of an indispensable hook
missing at the last moment! Now
can dress for a caller after the door
bell rings. In the twinkling of an eye,
slip off the morning robe and don an
other!"
This first robe is short one for
morning wear, it sceems-embroidere
in rich oriental shades. And all have,
as a last blessed feature, abundant
pockets! These, the whim of our
fashion rulers just now deny us, while
reveling in their own. A denial with
out rhyme or reason, save 1t be in the
fact of our present skintight dress-but
greater trial after our long indui-
gence in this convenience. To be sure,
we are granted the privilege of carry
ing the bags of our grandmothers. But,
alas, these are only added burdens to
the arms already weighted with sun
shade or umbrella, or engaged by hold
ing the trail of the long skirt. A word
to the wise, to the conscientious mother
of all these, should be sufficient to
Danish the long skirt from the street,
where dust and nameless denominations
of necessity cling to it and carry home
to the child and the invalid the germs
of many disease, to develop rapidly
in the poisoned air of a closed or sun
less house.
We may well wonder if our old Eng
lish poet Dryden would sing of our late,
and not outgrown fashion, of the frowsy
style of hair dressing:
Such sweet neglect more pleaSeth me
Than all the adulteries of art.
These catch the eye
But cannot charm the heart.
A critical observer of the grotesque
antics of the mode and the unhesitat-
ing obedience of its victims asserts
that it would not surprise him to see
in his own time the pet monkey, or
even the dreaded mouse, disporting
themselves on our women's hats-for n
fresh novelty! But, no! the awakening
has come to make life richer by
worthier use of our wonderful facul-
ties; to reap the reward of blessed SER
vice to our fellows.

of selecting twelve men to try Abra-
ham Ruef on one of the III indictments
returned against him by the grand
jury, charging the former political boss
of San Francisco with bribery, finds
the jury still incomplete. With nine
men in the box accepted and sworn,
when Judge Dooling convened court
this morning, two were passed during
the day by both sides, subject to per-
emptory challenge.
The two men tentatively accepted
today are S. r. Crooks, a real estate
dealer, and James Lennon, in the lime
and cement business. AS there still
remains one peremptory challenge to
the prosecution and one to the Defense
il is almost certain that one or both of
these men will go out of the jury box
tomorrow.

POINT Iona STATION TALKS
WITH TORPEDO FLoTILLA
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, April 27.-At o'clock
this evening the Point Iona station
was in communication with the Are
thusa. the mother ship of Lieuten-
ant Commander Cones torpedo flo
tilla.
The Arethusa at that time was a
few miles north of Ensenada. She re-
ported that the flotilla was some miles
behind her, that it had left Magdalena
bay first, but had made stops, and
thai the Arethusa had passed it early
this morning.
The wireless messages received were
somewhat vague but the general idea
conveyed is that the flotilla is due to
arrive here in a few hours and that
the trip has been made slowly on ac-
count of frequent fog banks.
