ing that it is good enough place
for a working girl to live in, Miss
Elizabeth Magic, who three years
ago offered herself for sale, to the
highest bidder as an ssAmerican
Slave has exploded another
set Of epigrammatic bombs cal

and comfortable elements of society.
Miss Magic is plain of speech,
though not of feature, says an ex-

civilization of it's neglect toward the
wage:earning woman is submitted
as s'graphic description of h by
one who is actually in it,

the thousands of men who offered
themselves after she presented her
self for sale. cit is h. she SAYS,
s'to pray for an angel and get a

deductions are the following:

and to have to work for and obey
the commands of ignorance.

nature and have to be forever brush
ing up against pigs.
ssTo have an ear for fine music

'To know that you can do some

When Miss Magic offered herself
for sale she described herself as

Who are the Turks? This is a
question which the federal bureau
of naturalization has undertaken to
answer in rather -hasty way by in
GLIDING the Armenians under that
ethnologic classification An ex-
change learnedly takes up the cause
of the Armeniaas and asserts their
right to be naturalized, because, al
though natives of Asiatic Turkey,
they are, in fact, of European race.
We quote:
Gas to race, of course the Ar
menians are of the white race.
Some of them are the sort of white
German or Englishman is. Others
are the sort of white an Italian or
Greek is. Huxley called these two
sort of white men xanthrechroic
and melanchroic, But they are both
white men, both European in civil
cation, and beth, including Ar
menians, entitled, under these
rulings, to naturalization. It
would be an unhappy fate should
the Armenians be made to suffer for
the sins Of their oppressors. To be
COMPOUNDED with the Turks and ex-
cluded from American citizenship
on that account looks like bitter in
justice. The law excludes Turks
from naturalization, but presumably
it is the chronological and not the
geographical Turk that is meant

NEW TAX HITS TRUSTS,
Thirty-nine Big Corporations VIII Pay
100000 if Law Passes-Prison
for Evasion.

NEW YORK, June 24.-Based on re-
cent reports of their earnings, thirty
nine leading Industrial corporations Of
the country would contribute approxi=
Late'y S5,OOO,OOO to the government rev.
enues under the proposed plan of levy
ing per cent. tax on net incomes.
These thirty-nine corporations would of
course, contribute comparatively small
amount OF the money which would be
obtained by the government through this
source, most of which would come from
the great railroad corporations.
Of the Industrial concerns, the Stand
ard Oil company would be the largest
contributor, paying $1,2OO,OOO, accord
ing to calculations based on the latest
report of earnings available. The Unit
ed States Steel corporation would come
next with 1854, 9o7, and the American
Tobacco company third with S46J, 433.
The American Telephone and Telegraph
company would pay in 1892, 434, and,
aside from the companies mentioned, the
annual tax in every other case would be
under 5000, 1000. Half a dozen concerns
would have to pay between 100000
and 100000, and the tax on the remain
der would be less than 100000 each.
These figures are deduced from the
statements of earnings mostly for the
recent fiscal year, in which heavy losses
were reflected from the depression fol
lowing the panic, and in ordinary times
undoubtedly the tax would be much
larger than indicated.

Tea Roses.

In the tea rose form color and fra
GRANGE are blended in delectable man
ner, but perfect hardness is unfortunate
ly lacking in roses of this class, making
1t difficult to winter them safely in
northern ATTITUDES. Considerable protec-
ton is required. Besides killing the
earth about each plant a shelter of
boards should be built about them in
winter with a slanting roof to shed the
water. Dry leaves should fill the spaces
between the sides of the shelter and the
plants. The shelter should be erected
in November.
The gardener who is willing to trust
to such protection for his treasures may
plant his bed of roses without fear and
be sure they will be n never ending de-
light. Tea roses are especially excellent
for cut flowers. There are many yarie-
ties of merit. Two recent introductions
are notable. Pink mamon cochet and
white mamon cochet have flowers re-
markably beautiful in form, charming in
color and remain perfect long after be-
ing out. The pink variety is surpassed
in beauty by the Whit, which is tinged
with rose color. The buds of both varie-
ties are unusually well formed. The
plants are beautiful and bear many
flowers. A few plants will furnish a
good supply of cut blossoms.

NO TANGIBLE CLUE GIVEN.
Finding Of Letters from Supposed Muir.

Was Motive for Crime.
THREATENED CEU WITH DEATH.

NEW YORK, June 24-Rumors and
cOnjectures as to the Whereabouts of
Leon Ling, the young Chinaman who is
sought by the detectives in charge of the
Elsie Sigel case, continued in abundance
today. There was also 4 fresh crop OF
theories as to the motives which had
prompted the crime and as to the exact
manner of its commission; but in spite
of almost hourly rumors of the capture
of the missing Chinaman in almost every
quarter of the United States, there was
nothing tangible upon which to base It
clue of use in tracing down the muir
derer
The advanced state of decomposition
of the body when found precluded any
autopsy or examination to show what
the cause of death had been. The the
Dry of Quon Yick Nam that the girl had
died rom an overdose of chloroform
administered by Leon, cannot be con-
firmed. as the handkerchief which his
roommate Chung Sin declared he saw
over her mouth, has disappeared.
/ Jealousy the Motive.
The finding of the two letters written
by Leon to Chu Gain, whom he regard
ed as his rival in the affections of the
Sigel girl, in which Leon threatens the
life of both Chu Gain and the young
yet to show the motive of the tragedy.
Both these letters, which are in Chinese
and signed The Chief" were shown to
Chung Sin and readily identified by him
as having been written by the fugitive.
The text of these letters has not been
revealed, but it is known that in them
Chu Gain is threatened with violent
death unless he discontinues his atten-
! tons to Miss Sigel.
Chu Gain has also said that his own
brother brought him oral warning, ema-
mating from Leon, that he must cease
his visits at the Sigel home, and that
on one occasion, when he called at the
! home of the young woman, Leon, who
was already there, left the house in
anger
The possibility that Leon Ling has
! fed to Cuba was brought to the atten-
ton of the police today by a white
woman living in Chinatown The wom-
an told the police that she had heard
two Chianmen discussing the Sigel case
! express a belief that Leon is in Cuba
now. The two Cinnamon will be ques-
toned if the police can find them.
Chinese Seek Murderer.
Further indication that some of the
Chinese organizations of this country
desire to aid the authorities in appre-
| hendlng the missing Leon Ling was Civ
en- today when the Chinese Empire Re
! form association sent out a letter to its
| 10 branches throughout the country
calling on them to give aid in finding
! Leon. A detailed description of the
missing man was appended to the let
| ter.
A meeting of the Christian Cinnamon
of this city and their teachers today was
called by the Rev. Flung Now, superin-
tendent of the Morning Star mission.
The purpose of the meeting is to raise

Miss Sigel and to express indignation
