INCOME TAX IN ENGLAND.
Statician Makes an Interesting Re-

A report which constitutes an i'm
portant contribution to current dis
cussion of the proposed income tax
is made to the bureau Of manufac-
lures Of the department Of commerce
and labor by Charles N. Pepper, the
special agent who has been inVesti-
eating fiscal affairs in Europe. MT.
Pepper says that for the fiscal year
ending March 81, 1903. the revenue
from the income tax in Great Brit
ain was s1s5,o00.000. This tax IN
1908 was the greatest single source
Of revenue. exceeding the excise i'm
posts by sI,500.ooo and the customs
receipts by s23,o00,o00.
Income under $500 are exempt
from the tax and graduated abate-
ments are allowed on income between
$500 and s2,5oe. The lowest rate
in the last half century has been a
fraction over one cent on the dolla..
Since 1895 the highest rate has been
about 80 cents to the Eve dollars.
In 1907 the yield was s1oe,eO0,o00.
as against sS0.000,0oo in 1899.
Every year revelas incomes previous
ly covered up.
Mr.. Pepper shows that the princi-
pal source Of the tax comes under
the group Of businesses and profess
sions and particular properties, such
as railways, canals and mines and
foreign and colonial securities. The
next leading source of revenue is
from profits from the ownership OF
houses and lands.

ously Wounded.

Mr.. Barney A. Jordan, q promi-
nent farmer, was shot and it IS
feared mortally wounded, at 10
o'clock Tuesday morning by Peter
Coates, negro The shooting oc-
Cured on the plantation Of Mr.. Jake
Hardy. two miles south Of Johnston,
a aspistol being the weapon used, the
bali entering the breast and passing
through the lungs.
From the facts obtainable 1t
seems that Mr.. Jordan had In his
employment a son of Coats, and he
went to the latter's house in quest
of the boy, who had run away.
While there an alteration arose be-
tween Mr.. Jordan and the negro. re-
sulting in Coates drawing his pistol
and firing upon Mr.. Jordan, lnnict-
ing in all probability death wound.
The news Of the shooting spread
like wildfre. and very soon the cit
izens of the community had gathered
for the purpose Of capturing the
negro, who had fed. Sheriff, QUITS
went Immediately to the scene, and
Sheriff Cooley, Of Lexinsston, with
bloodhounds was wired for, and they
are now in pursuit Of the culprit.
Later news gives some nope Of MIR.

SOCIALIST SCORES CARNEGIE.
Claims Iron King Works His MeB
~ Hours a Day.

Speaking from the same pulpit in
which he praised Jonn D.. Rockefeller
last Sunday, Alexander Irvine, a So
cialist and lay pracher. bitterly at
tackled Andrew Carnegie ia a sermon
at the Church Of the Ascension in
New York Sunday night. The ad-
dress was principally ia the form OF
an answer to what Ar. Irvine styled
Mr.. Carnegie's criticism of Social
ism in one Of the iron masters books.
s'Mr. Carnegie said the speaker.
''seatters libraries broadcast for the
working. men, but works his labor
ers twelve hours day so that they
won't have time to read the books.
"There are 1900 men in the Car
negie plants, yet only 12O work eight
hours a day. The rest work twelve
hours a day and seven days q week.
s'Mr. Carnegie, at dinner Of for
ty-fve of his associates, dwelt on
the fact all but. two or them had
been .workmen in the steel plants,
and the entire forty-fve were now
millionaires as the result Of their
steel holdings.
This he advanced as an argu-
ment in favor of the present condit-
ion of things. We do not want
few big men at that awful cost; the
cost is too dear. What we want is
a general uplift Of workmen. "

And Twenty Persons Perish in
The Ohio River
WAS OVER CROWDED
Boat Intended for Not Over Twenty,
But Into Which Thirty Employees
Of the Pressed Steel Car Company,
Of Pittsburg, Had Crowded, Sinks
Amid Stream

Twenty persons are missing and
all of them are believed to have been
drowned when a gasoline launch
sank in the middle Of the Ohio riv-
er near Schoenville, Pa, Tuesday
night. Of the thirty occupants of
the boat only ten are known to
have escaped. The missing are:

Guthrie, Henry Vogell, Dennie Mur-
ply, Tony Bole, Ruskey and
nine others, whose names have not
been learned.
All the men were employees Of the
Pressed Steel Car Company at the
MeKee's Rocks plant. The boat is
said to have been intended Tor not
over twenty persons, and 1t is said
| it was dangerous to attempt to carry
as many as twenty-five in it. But all
the men wanted to get a cross the
river on the first trip of the boat
and thirty crowded in.
AS the men started out In the boat
one of them is said to have remarked
that it seemed to him to be over
.corded and he feared it was not
safe to attempt the trip in it. Al,
bert Graham, the pilot, and one o'
those who is missing, is said to have
replied that it was safe enough al

persons in it last night. No more
was said about the load, but whe1
the boat reached the middle Of th'
stream, where the water is perhap:
twenty feet deep, the boat sud
denly sank.
There was no explosion, no leal
was sprung, but the boat simply sanl

FLY LAUGHS AT ELECTRICITY
Survives Shock Strong Enough TO
Kill Horse.

A West Chester young man, who
is interested in electrical study, has
made some curious experiments, says
the Philadelphia North American.
He tried a strong current in killing
reaches, and they succumbed at the
first shock when placed in water
as conductor. Other bugs went
just as easily, but he met with sur
prise when he tried it on common
house fly.
Placed in a pool Of water charged
with all the power from an electric
light wire the fly gave no signs of
even being troubled by the current.
and the experinenter is endeavoring
to figure out the reason. The fly
took a current which would have
killed a dog or horse.
The experimenter killed five cats
in one night by contriVance he
placed on his front porch to get rid
Of these ruisanees.

ALAND OF BlGOTRY
WHY SPAIN IS BEHIND THE 9TH
Err GREAT NATIONS.
She Allows Only Roman Catholics
to Use Symbols Of Religion in Her
Borders
Borders.

The restriction under which non
Roman Catholic religious denomina-
tons must worship in Spain has been
made the subject Of an investigation
by the State Department. The report
Of former Minister Collier in 1905
was made public a few days ago.
By authority OF the constitutional
provision that no other ceremonies
nor manifestations Of religious wor-
ship shall be permitted in public
except those of the Catholic religion,
a cross or other emblem or religion
is never permitted to be erected up
on a Protestant edifice, said Mr.. Col
lier.
He stated that within the last few
years when a cross was erected upon
a church at Barcelona, the King
himself wrote letter which resulted
in the Cross being removed.
Generally the door Of Protestant
church is permitted to open upon
the public street, reported Mr.. Col
lier, although it IS not allowed dur
ing service, to remain open so as
to attract attention to the worship.
Distinctly eccleastica1 architect
ure calculated to proclaim the build
ing as a seat Of form OF worship
is not allowed, or at least the Prot
estant have refrained from such
form Of architecture, he added.
The minister says that there was
more toleration shown toward Pro
testant worship at the date when he
reported than there had been fifteen
or twenty years before.
Married in Water.
At baptizing on small creek
near Sailor Springs, ILL.,, Pear
Johnson and Miss Nora Murray were
baptized. and Immediately after
ward, while standing in water waist
deep, were united in marriage.

Penitentiary after Being Allowed
to Kiss Good Bye.

Penitentiary after Being Allowed
to Kiss Good Bye.
James Boyle and his wife Helen
Boyle were lodged in the Western
penitentiary at Pittsburg, Pa, Mon
day night. The former ;s under
a sentence of life Imprisonment and
the latter is sentenced to serve a
term Of twenty-five years.
The prisoners were taken first to
a side room to say good bye. as the
rules Of the prison would not permit
them to see each other again. Mrs.
Boyles threw her arms around
"Jimmy's" neck and kissed him.
She said, eve must take it the best
we can" The matron escorted Mrs.
Boyle from the room. She burst
into tears and asked to be permitted
once again to see her husband. The
request was granted and she again
kissed and embraced Boyle.
When Mrs. Boyle gave her belong
ings to the matrons, she asked per-
mission to keep a small mirror she
carried, saying, 'I do not want to
leave it behind, as that would make
me have seven years Of bad luck. :
The mirror was returned to her and
she will be allowed to keep It in her
cell.
Boyle and his wife sat together
and. held each others hands during
the entire journey from the scene
Of their trial.
Sheriff Chess said he was glad to
get the prisoners out Of his Gus
| tody. as he was afraid they would
| be able to carry out their announced
| intention to commit suicide. The
sheriff stated he believed Boyle had
intended to kill his wife and then
! suicide with razor the sheriff found
in the kidnapper's tie today. Meth.
er prisoner would deny that this was
true.
It has been decided, so far as Mrs
Boyle is concerned, at least, that nc
appeal will be asked for.

posed upon the pair appalled,. Mer

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
A MAN EN- ROUTE TO ASYLUM
CUTS HIS THROAT.
Borrowed a Knife From Passenger
on the Train and Tried to Kill
Himself.

Obtaining a knife from one of the
passengers on the Augusta train,
within two miles OF Columbia, at
Congaree river crossing, Emanuel
Bolen, who was being carried to the
Insane Asylum, slashed his own
throat and, after aa operation that
lasted forty-fye minutes, now lies
dangerously i'll at the hospital. Boil
en- is from North Augusta and was
under guard of a special deputy at
the time Of the attempted suicide.
The guard stated that everything
went well with him and the prisoner,
who was manacled, until the train
was crossing the Congaree Bridge.
At this point, just outside Of Co
lumbia Bolen spoke to one Of the
passengers, who did not notice that
the man was prisoner. A knife
was handed Bolen and the next thing
the guard knew Bolen had made a
vicious attempt to END his own life.
The jugular vein was touched and
Bolen was just saved from death.
After being taken to the Hospital
the wound was stitched and the
chances are that Bolen will recover
unless blood poisoning should set in.
The doctors state that the knife may
have been rusty, and in that event
the wound might prove fatal. Boil
en- is a middleaged white man.
From those on the train a graphic
story is told Of the struggle between
the guard and the insane maR. The
! passengers thought the man was try
ing to cut the guard and several o!
them attempted to leave the coach
Having been called on by the guard
e. +. Mitchell, 3 young college man
! who was on the train, assisted ii
taking the knife from Bolen. It i
said that Bolen borrowed the knif
about twenty miles from Columbi;
and waited until within two mile
Of Columbia to cut himself. Whel
the knife was taken from him Boiler
