TENDER the total amount of revenue
collected by the State from the in
heritance tax amounted to S12.724,-
1876. The amount to be collected
from estates not yet appraised is be-
lieved to be much larger,
Never before In the history of
this country, It is said, have so many
men of wealth and power died in
such a short period Included in the
list are such names as j. Pierpont

vance tax of S2,5O0.0O0 on an esti-
mated total valuation of$65, 900, 900.
exclusive of works of art, which have
been valued at more than $1,000
900. George w. Vanderbilt is sup

torneys for the estate are working

made to the State Comptroller.
The largest inheritance tax which
has been paid since the enactment
of the law was that of SO, 900 on
the $S7,000,0O0 estate of the late
Colonel John Jacob Aston. Previous

\ S2,OOO.OOO COAL BILL
BURN 5000 TONS DAILY

A fuel agent and 10 clerks are
necessary to conduct the work of the
fuel department of the Commons
wealth Edison Company and some
of the allied insult Companies. The
Commonwealth Edison Company
burns about 5000 tons of coal daily
and its coal bill is about $4,000, 600
a year. About 100000 tons is kept
in reserve in or near Chicago at all
times. Nearly all of this is of egg
and lump size, as the danger of fire
from spontaneous combustion is
much less with the larger sizes.
thermometers are placed in all coal
piles and weekly records of temper
atures are taken. II is frequently
found necessary to move piles OF
screenings or mine-run coal to pre-
vent or fight fires.

Bargain In Boa Constructors.
The distance from Port-of-Spain to
Colon, Isthmus OF Panama, is only a
trifle over 1000 miles, Just an ordi-
nary Jump for an ocean-going the
atrical company. The jump is broken
by stops at Savanilla and Cartagena,
on the Colombian coast. Panama has
declared strict quarantine against
those towns. and passengers are not
permitted to stray from the wharves.
II is said that the sanitary grounds
upon which the quarantine is based
are merely subterfuge. The Pan
amanian authorities are anxious to
keep out undesirable, revolution
breeding pests from South America.

nose. Ii is contendeo that the very
best bargains In Panama hats can

for sale at the wharves had slid

to be patient and wait urtil nearly
