GIRLS STILL PROPOSE.
Leap Year Licenses More Numerous
Than Ever Before.

New York, Dec. 2S.-Leap year ends
with far fewer New York girls hav-
ing taken advantage of leap year than
Chicago girls have. Compared with
an increase of over 5000 marriages in
Chicago this year, as reported in a
dispatch from that city, the marriage
license bureau in New York announces
an excess of only about 1000 mar
riages here over the number last year.
The total for the year has been 3S,264.
The marriage license clerks declare
that there is no doubt that leap year
continues to have its effect in matri-
monial business and says that records
every leap year keep up the tradition.

BY Collection Of inheritance
Tax and by Forfeitures
for Month.

aHARIEsToN, Jan S-The sum
OF $s,s68s54 was collected as In
lheritance taxes. and $4,000 from
forfeitpres during the month OF De
cember ana turned over to the
proper funds The inheritance taxes
came from twenty-seven estates,
while the forfeitures came from
three estates-the william Graham
estate in Ohio county, the John
Meier estate in Tyler county, and
the U. ". Arnett estate in Marion
county. Except for ten per cent all
lowed prosecuting attorneys in the
counties in which the forfeitures are
found, providing they assist in the
collection Of the forfeiture, and two
and one-half per cent on the dollar
which goes into the state fund, the
money goes into the various funds
of the county in which the property
is located.
No large amount was collected
during the month as inheritance
taxes, as will be shown by the
something less than $4,000 coming
from q estates. but If the average
lis kept up the tax department would
get about $4,000 for the year.
This amount will be exceeded. At
least that is what is expected by the
officers in the tax commissioners Of
fee.
But one charter was issued today
by the secretary of state besides the
number received yesterday and
which bear todhy's date. The one
received today was the r. j. R. s.

new LAW
Relating to Factories and
Workshops in the State
is Wanted.

OF great interest to all employees
in factories in the state of West
Virginia is the movement among
some of the largest manufacturers
throughout the state to have law
passed at the next legislature which
will be similar to the one now in
force requiring the employment of
a mine boss in all coal or other
mines. 1t is proposed, as in the
case of the mine law, to make 1t
obligatory IN every factory where
machinery is employed and where
over ten men work. to employ a per-
son whose duty it shall be to see
that all machinery is in safe con-
ditlou and the working conditions
are as they should be. They would
even have the law require the pass
age of examinations given by the
state, as is demanded in the case
of mines bosses, mine foremen and
fire bosses in the mines.
