teenth avenue, twenty-one years old,
the mother of baby one month old
and another less than two years old,

of an orphan asylum on Passaic ave-
nue., Arlington, Agnes Kennedy, ten
years old, and Catherine Stanton,

headquarters. Sergeant Bell sent out
an alarm. The Kennedy girl was
found roaming about by a Newark

taken to the Second precinct police

One of the oldest branches of the
government, the Internal Revenue Blu
reau, only gets prominence in the
newspaper when 1t undertakes the col
lection of some special tax, such as
the income tax or this present
war tax or when some of the revenue
agents engage in a sensational battle
with "moonshiners" In the mountains.
But the bureau has been collecting
from the American public more than
one-third of a billion dollars year.
and that the business has been ever
expanding may be surmised from the
fact that last year the collections beat
the best previous annual record by
nearly s22,00o,000.
II Is no exaggeration to say that the
Internal Revenue Bureau has been for
year or so past one OF the busiest
government institutions. The institu-
ton has, indeed. scarcely adjusted IT.
self fully to the added responsibility
Of collecting the new income tax when
along comes this war tax to complicate
matters. The income tax for the year
1916 Is expected to yield lO5,OOO,O 900,
and the war tax Is looked to give an
equal amount, so that between them
these new streams of wealth will give
two-thirds as much as was obtained
last year from all ordinary internal

The sixty-three collectors of internal
revenue scattered through the coun-
try receive fixed salaries Just as do
almost all other employees Of the gov
eminent but in reality they work on
the commission basis, because their
salaries are made proportionate to
the amount they collect or are expect
ed to collect.

Internal revenue taxes is actively In
the hands OF deputy collectors. There
are regularly on duty in the various
internal revenue districts into which

capital In the daily press are now
headed "Petrograd." Turkey, how
ever, for some unknown reason re-
fused to recognize the change and the
Sultan sent an order to the Turkish
newspapers peremptorily ordering
them TO continue to call the city st.
Petersburg. Outside of this, there
seems to be little objection to humor-
ing this strange whim of the Russians.
Built On A Marsh.
AS Russia owns nearly one sixth Of
the land area of the world. and its
population Is more than one-tenth of
the population Of the world, its capt
tai would as a matter of course, be
remarkable place. 1t is not a beau
t!ful city, but Is a colossal one-its
public buildings far exceeding any
other European country in size and
magnificence. The city is built on
absolutely fiat ground; its site was
a marsh before Peter the Great re-
claimed It, and even today it would
be possible 10 sink a monolith out Of
sight in its grounds. To provide
against such contingencies a forest Of
piles has been driven into the earth
to support the huge buildings which
dot the city. The streets are wide,
with large squares and plenty of
room--the main street.-The Nevsky
Prospect, being more than three miles
In length. 1t has no particular style
of architecture, and were 1t not for
the Russian lettering on the signs the
traveller might imagine himself in

Paris or Brussels. Every imaginable
thing Is sold on this street, the shops
ranging from the "Three-Cent Store"
to the finest jewelry shops in the
world. The public buildings are ugly
in architecture but beautiful in In
terror decorations. For instance, the
Winter Palace OF the Gear from the
exterior is merely a mass OF red stone,
but inside 1t surpasses Versailles in
It's wonderful paintings of battle
scenes and It's Imperial Gallery Of
portraits of all the sovereigns of the
reigning Russian House.
This great structure contains several
hundred rooms, many Of which are
rarely opened, although their decora-
tons are worth thousands of dollars.
have been painted by Saint Luke. The
description attached tells US that 1t
was presented to Paul I. when he be-
came a Knight of Malta. The right
hand of John the Baptist Is also pre-
served in the Winter Palace.
The Famous Hermitage.
Catherine the Seconds palace, now
known as the Hermitage. is connected
with the Cars winter home by gal
lery, and this alone repays one for
Journey to the city, for 1t contains
more than fifteen hundred paintings
besides drawings, marble statues and
coin collections. The display of jew
els, said TO be the largest in existence,
Is known as the treasury. A special
permit Is required for this room.

they fell out Of their mountings.
The Kazan Cathedral, too, is beau
tiful with its blue and gold domes and
its huge monolths. Many other houses
of worship might be described, but
the two above mentioned are the
grandest churches of Russia.
Splendid Statuary.
Statuary is one of the city's strong
points, and as If in keeping with the
other things in the city it is out Of
the ordinary. The largest single col
umn Of stone in the world stands in
front of the Winter Palace as mon
ument to Alexander l. IT Is eighty
four feet in height and weighs about
four hundred tons. It was brought
from Finland on rollers; it required
several months and the labors Of one
hundred men to bring it to the CAPT
tai The statue OF Peter the Great,
which stands near the Admiralty, is
one Of the few successful equestrian
statues in ancient or modern times.
The figure of the founder of Petrograd
is eleven feet high, while that Of the
horse Is seventeen. The horse rears
on his hind legs just on the brink of
a precipice after the fashion Of a We
lasquez painting. The idea Of the
statue is to show Peter the Great on
the height OF the city Of his creation
with his hands stretched forth az If
to protect II.
Life IN Petrograd is different, too, as
| there seems to be no middle class
everybody is either very rich or pitia-
bly, poor. The latter must live on tea
and bread with meat perhaps once a
week-while the rich live in the most
extravagant luxury. They are great
travellers in their own country and
always receive their visitors in their
rooms, consequently one finds the ma
jority of the rooms on suite In the best
hotels. and the rooms Of these suites
are very large.
Vile Summer Climate.
Petrograd's greatest drawback is the
summer climate. for the weather dur
| ing July and August is about as dis.
agreeable as possible. For a few
| hours the sun pours down on the
| pavement with an almost tropica
/ ferceness-the remainder of the day

How Uncle Sam Will Place the Burden Of America s

~OR the first time In history
AH Uncle Sam is levying a war

People who ride in automobiles,
drink beer or wine, ride on sleeping
cars or enjoy any number Of other
things which most Of us are wont to
regard as luxuries must dig down IN
their pockets and make an extra con-
tribution to the Golfers of the gov
rnment. To be sure 1t is, for the most
part, only few cents here and there,
but never was there better ilustra-
ton of the fact that pennies make
collars. because Congress fully ex-
poets to realize by means of this emer-
penoy tax the tidy sum of more than
}100,o00.000.
How The Tax Came To BE Levied.
The why and wherefore of the
emergency tax which Congress has
authorized this autumn ia found In
three words, namely, war In Europe"
The expenses Of the government Of
the United States are borne. as our
readers are well aware, in part by a
system of what are known as internal
revenue taxes but also, In great Yeas
ure. by duties upon goods imported
into the United States from other
countries. Consequently, when the
war suddenly put a stop to business
transactions with some of those Euro
pean nations from which we have al
ways bought most heavily, and sadly
crippled our commerce with other
European nations it naturally fell out
= that there was a sudden slump in the
receipts from tariff duties at our Gus
tom houses.

The men who hold the reins in Con-
gress figured out that the war in
Europe, so long as It continues, Is GO
Ing TO cost Uncle Sam at least $780,
900, 600 year loss in customs revenue,
and that some means must be found
to fill this gap II Uncle Sans bank
balance was not to suffer. An emer-
gency tax Of some sort was the remedy
that commended itself to them.
They debated with themselves
whether the needed money might not
be raised by increasing the present
tax upon incomes and by placing a
tax upon smaller incomes than are
now liable, but there was objection to
this plan In that 1t would have re-
CURED a year or more before any
money could have been gotten in on
this arrangement. Uncle Sam needs
quick cash, and 30 an internal revenue
tax was resorted to.
Tax Gathering Machinery In Readi-
ness.
1t was enough to commend It that
special internal revenue tax would
call out hard cash from the word go,
but on top Of this was the considera-
ton that the government already had,
in the Internal Revenue Bureau of
the Treasury Department all the ma
chinery-time-tried and smooth run
ning-necessary for the collection OF
. the new assessment. 1t appeared ia
be merely a question Of providing a
few extra men and preparing and
printing an extraordinary supply OF
revenue stamps and. behold, we have
the means at hand for collecting that

one Of the largest diamonds in Europe

the eye OF the lion that crouched be-
lore the throne of the great Mogul.
another treasure preserved there is
the crown worn by Catherine H., the
only Empress OF Russia who ever
wore crown-all the others have
worn sort Of tiara. The crown is
valued at s500,00000. There are ru-
bies and pearls worth a kings ran
som, to say nothing Of the Siberian
aqua-marines which add color and
splendor to this house of gems.
In strange contrast to all this splen-
dor is the room nearby-the apart
ment In which the Emperor Nicholas
Is said to have committed suicide after
he learned OF the reverses of the
Crimea. The room, which has been
preserved intact is small and simply
furnished The sword helmet and
grey military cloak are where he laid
them. a veteran has charge Of the
room, and 1t Is said that he carefully
dusts each article belonging to the
dead Emperor each day, laying them
in exactly the same place.
Not far from this Is a room given
over to relics Of Peter the Great. The
collection, besides turning lathes and
other instruments with which the
monarch worked, contains curiosities
and knickknacks as we'll as some
works Of real art, for Peter the Great
was a man far ahead of his times
