yention hall, Miss Maud Powell, world
famous Viollnist
It was necessary to change the
dates Of the Apollo club concert from
January 30 TO February 3 in order

enormous capacity of tho house the
Apollo club will be able to offer this
big attraction to music lovers at

There resides near a railway station

Now. this old man had been hailed

During whole generation of time

At the age Of IA Jesse Pomeroy,

hanged for the murder OF a little girl
and several boys. Because OF his ex-

muted to solitary confinement for
life.
Never permitted to look upon the

allowed TO exercise at the same hour,

Twelve months ago he was a

his holdings were safe. He was mis-
taken. One day squad OF soldiers
entered his combination office and

and blank papers backed the doctor
up against the wall and invited him
to sign over all his property.
One hour later he was coastlng

were flayed from the elbows to the

to a rough expanse of country and
tortured till he fell exhausted The
Federals stomped the life out of him
as he lay helpless.

DUTCH REVENUES ARE
DECREASING ON ACCOUNT
OF THE WAT
(By Associated Press. J

Amsterdam, June 1.-THE pub.
lished statement of the receipts O
the Netherlands government, from
all forms of taxation and state enter
prlses for the month of April, shows
that while the war is not only in
creasing the cost of running the
Dutch government, it is also de-
creasing it's revenues. This is sad
news for the Hollanders, who al.
ready find the burden of the expenses
of the mobilization we'll nigh intol-
cradle, when added to the ordinary
expenses of life. Long before the
war, taxes in the Netherlands were
remarkably high. Every Dutch child
started life with the handicap of his
share in over 100000 per day of
taxes for expenditures which are un-
known in any other country of the
world. In Holland it is an exist
ence tax; for it costs that much to
maintain dykes to keep a great part
of the Netherlands from being over
run by the sea.
The annual budget in Holland is
carefully calculated to produce a
certain figure through taxes; when
the revenues fall below that figure.
as in the month of April, extra i'm
posts are necessary and lead to grow
ing dissatisfaction among the peo-
pie who pay taxes. This year. the
month of April exhibits a shortage
OF S4,992.S04 compared with the
revenue of the corresponding month
of last year. So great is this deficit
IN proportion, and so close have the
figures this year, in the first three
months, run to the figures of last
years receipts for the same period
that. with the April deficit. the
revenues for the four months of 1915
show loss of s3,1S3,709 over the
same period of 1914.
The principal deficits lie in the
receipts from the Inheritance taxes. !
and in the excise on sugar. The |
years figures, while the latter fails |
former fall s1.065,6O0 short of last
1914.
The immense increase in taxation
by $33S,S00 of touching the sum re-
ceived from that source in April,
which will be necessary to pay the
expenses of mobilization. and the
large number of laborers out of work
through the suspension of indus

nance of hostilities makee the out
