The New Haven Register has some ‘uabts Is to the expediency of Presl- ”lent Taft's corporation tax law. and believes that in practice some points will be developed where the need of adjustment will appear and injustice in the operation will be shown. “Per- haps .it is too late to make any dif- ference new." nystbs Register, "but the latest discovery of the possible mischief of Mr. Taft's corporation law is Its likely effect on state'and pri- veto beaks. Bush banks and trust combaniea are now “among the- lm-‘ Donut institutions of the state, but "-‘oornpetitfon is close, and to tax their opt profits would be serious In its «effect. or course the main objection Q is that of the unfairness of laying all _ the burden which the national banks . ought to help to pay. If there is to be any such tax. on the worthy but unprotected state banks." It is now announced that Represen- tative/Hill will not be appointed as ' ,oae of the house conferees on the tar- in'rii! bill, notwithstanding the fact that the rule of seniority and his close knowledge of tariff questions, so de strand. The explanation given In that “the? opposition of highly lotiected to- threats Is too strong fbr gp eaker Can- non to overcome.” This would seem to be the strongerit possible argument in favor of the appointment of Mr. Hill ‘ and it Is far from a compliment to speaacr 0 mm he hasnt back- a«m... resist. the pressure of ‘ tread beneficiaries of the tariff who desire. to pack the conference com- mittee—Bridgeport Farmer. nooaau v'voooueu MATTENO. may interest to Members of ’ Neighbor Camp.

This attitude on the part of the two Democratic-suntan was this not to fallen to hear it Aldrioh's some tlou, but to I general understanding among Deviants as well as Republi- cans, 'thst the final vote on the tariff hill should be taken before adjourn- ment today. There was no effort to come to an understanding as to the hour but the general feeling was that whether early or late. the measure should be disposed of before leaving the sepsis chambsn it had been sup tst much‘ time would be con- sumed in the discussion of the tobacco tax. but even before that item was reached it had been arranged that there would be comparatively little ef- fort to alter the finance committee's schedule Senator Daniel, of Virginia. and Bradley, of Kentucky, were displeased with the action of the committee, but realizing that any effort to change the result would provp futile, both decid- ad to waste little time in that direc- on. The uncompleted corporation tax provision was the first subject of the day's consideration, and Serialor Dun- Iel resumed the speech he began yea terdsy. lie promised not to speak for more than 15 minutes. His remarks were in defence of his amendment levying a tax of one quarter of one per cent. on the gross receipts of our poratlons having a capital stock of more than 8300. 000. “We have s. worthy man in the pres- ldcntial chair.” detlared Mr. Dnnlcl " a judicial minded man of great mind and of great heart. l have no senti- ment of opposition to the pending propotion because of its source. 0n the contrary, I look to it as of the highest respectability." Mr. Bacon suggested the Virginia senator change his plans for taxing corporations to make It apply also to corporations that have gross receipts of more than $300,000 annually. . Upon suggestion of Mr. Daniel, Mr. Bacon offered his amendment as an amendment to the proposition made by the Virginia senator. "i move to lay the amendments on the table, " eurtly interposed the chair man of the finance committee 'Wblcb amendment?" interposed Mr. Bacon rising at his place with I show of an to. “Both if i can. " said Mr. Aldrich. "1 rise to I point of order if 1 can have the attention of the chair." per- sisted Mr. Bacon. "The senator from Georgia always has the attention of the chair If he will state his point of order." replied Vice-Presiden Sherman is suave ton- es that sugge ed harmony. "I do not wish to be considered as chilling the chair.” replied Mr. Bacon. “ but i do insist upon a right to have my motion put to the senate." “The chair always does that." retort. ed the vice-president, smiling. After a shoR eschsnfl. of views of just what had happened; the amend. mente were gently "laid on the table." and there was no further suggestion of any ruh‘le upon the senatorial wa- tors. Other amendments to the corpora- tion as amendment were quickly dia- posed ow In the same way. Mr. Newland’s wanted the tax to ap- piy only to corporations with gross re. celpts of more than $250,000. " i move to lay on the table," was the only coin~ merit Mr. Aldrich made to these sug- gestions, and without encountering further resistance that course was adopted. The corporation tax amendment as perfected by the committee then was agreed to. and Mr. Aldrich announced that the the exception of the tobacco tax the bill was perfected so far as cgmmittee amendments wore concern- e . Mr. Bacon. for his colleague. Mr. Clay, offered an amendment to the bill providing for a special tax and for the regulation of sales on stock exchanges, and insisted upon a strict adherence to lparliamentary rules in disposing of t. At the first opportunity, Mr. Aldrich .moved to lay the amendment on the table, which was agreed to by 43 to 34. The tobacco tax amendment was laid before the senate after the disposal of the other measures. Mr. Martin’ prev tested against it as carrying a large Increase of taxation on the industry. “The manufacturers and dealers," he said."le not pay this tax. They wil reimburse thsmseves out of the pockets of the people" "This, " said Mr. Simmons, chNorilr Carolina, referring to the increased tobacco tax, “is a direct tax upon the laboring class, who actually consume ninety per cent. of all chewing tobao co and snuff." The tat. he asserted. bore most heavily upon the independent tobacco men, and was actually an advantage to the trust. The best way, he believed, to destroy the trust would be to take off the tax and all restrictions on the industry. “Republican extravagance." he de- clared. “has brought about in this country a condition that prevents us from giving up revenue in any source."

ALBANY, July 8.——Replying to re- quests for a statement regarding the claim of the New York Life insurance Company that owing to the limitations prescribed by the New Yorkiinsuranee law. it had been obliged to discharge a number of sgonta State Superinten- dent of Insurance William ll. Hotsh- kiss said today that most of these agents were part time men whose com- mission Income was very small. "Some time ago." said he, “the de- partment noticing the statement made by the New York Life insurance Com- pany that it had dismissed a large number of agents asked the company to forward a list of those dismissals. showing the amount of business and paid for policies written by each. This list has now been tabulated, by states and by number and amount of policies it shows that the total number dis- missed was 1.223. of whom 240 were residents of this state. 8“ were sgentsi of more than a year's standing. 879 having been appointed in 1909. Commenting on the number paid for policies written. Superintendent Hoteli- kiss said: “Our tabulation shows that 482 of the dismissed agents, or 39 per cont., wrote no business at all either last year or this; 229 wrote but one policy. 139 but two policies. Thus, 850 or upwards of 88 per cent. of the total wrote not me than two policies each, while but I. that is about 4 per cent.. wrote more than ten policies. “These figures suggest that the claim ihnt a large number of men have been deprived of their means of live- lihtmd by the action of this com- pany is rather wide of the mark. Clear- ly most of them were part time moo. extremely limited productivity and whose commission Income was very small. The average business written in 16 months by each of the agents whose services were disposed of was but 84.213." WOMEN IUTCHERO. An Unusual Feminine Occupation Fel- lowed in Paraguay. The butchers in all parts of Farm gusy are women. in the public slaughter houses the cattle are dis. patched by men. This is the only part of the work done by men. The animal is skinned and otherwise pre- parod by women who are dexterous In the use of the saw and knife. it is served not to the customers by wo men—not generally by weight but by the piece—and the price is very low. Women of all ages act the part of butchers. Some are young and pret- ty, others old and wrinkled. The wo- men are great bargainers and keen to pull a new arrival almost to pieces in the hope of securing his custom. These women butchers earn good wages, and many of those in business on their own account acquire a mod- est fortune. The cause of this state of things is the heroic war waged by Paraguay more than thirty years ago aginst the overwhelming forces of Brazil. the Argentine Republic and Uruguay‘ com- bined. 'l‘hls war, which lasted five years. bore many similar points of resemblance to the recent Boer war. it ended in the almost total annihila- tion of the able bodied male population of the country. When the war was over the people had been reduced to the most abject poverty and were on the verge of starvation. Worse still. owing to the destruction of the male bobblation, perfect anarchy prevailed. and all the work formerly performed by males fell on the str sex. They rebuilt the houses which had been burned down, tilled the fields and wove for themselves rough homespun 'clothing groin the cotton grown in their own elds. MARION CRAWFORD'B BEGIN- NINGS. Marion Crawford i had known since he was a lad of fourteen years. I. too. was a youngster In those days. We were living in a New Jersey town and he come there to visit his aunt. Mrs. Adolphe Msilllard. I sis- ter of Mrs. Julia Ward HOWc. Al- though he came from Italy ho dress. ed as an Eukllsh lad. with high but. Eton locket, wide collar and long trousers. You can imagine the sen- sation that he made in that quiet New Jersey town. We had had kings and princes as our neighbors. but a young boy in a high but was unknown to us. and therefore much more of a nov- elty. From those days, which were filled with youthful escapades, I did not see Frank Crawford. as he was then called, until he was a fullgrown man and had knocked about the world a bit. His uncle. the well known “Dam" Ward. brought him to the of- llce of the Crltlc. then consisting of a single small room over Daniell's drygoods store In Broadway. "This lad wants to be a writer." said his Uncle Barn. “1 wish that you would give. him a chance to learn the business." We gave him the chance. not only for old time's sake. but because we liked his looks. "That fellow can do anything he cares to." I remarked after he left the ones. So we let him write. He wrote book- reviews. editorials and even poetry; and after that he wrote "Mr. leases." You know the .rest. F'roln that on. It was easy enough. He won out. and we knew that,though we had given hard the chance he wanted at the time that. he wanted it, he would have found It quick enough anywhere else. But he never forgot what he chose to regard as a favor. He was not the only young man who found his chance on the Grille: "but that Is another story."—-Jeailnotto L. Gild- er in Putnam's.

I Besides great damage to crops and. the washing sway of proberty, the flood has caused much suffering to many farm people who are msrooned on remote spots several relief trains sent out from Kansas city and other points were unable to reach their des- tination and boats loaded with food and other supplies which had put out to go to the rescue were forced back by the swirlio current. At Patton sflurg Mo, about 1,500 people crowded into the uper floors of store buildings, lodge halls and the schoolhouse. have been without sleep for over two days. At Pomona, Kane, yesterday, 300 passengers on a west- bound Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe train were marooned when part of the train overturned and toppled into 13 feet of water. The people. after being rescued, passed the night in the homes of hospitable farmers. A call for re- lief sent out from Pawnsburg says conditions there are growing worse. Mayor Maupin's home, which is large and is the only one in town which has not water on the .door. has been thrown open sod is dilled to its capa- city with rerugees. Flood conditions Improved. except at Kansas City. where the Kansas and Missouri rivers converge, most streams In this part of the southwest were re- ceding this morning. In Kansas City the damage has been slight and the river here must rise nearly ten feet yet before the stage of the floods of 1903 and 190! are reached. Such a rise is not now considered likely. But little rain has fallen since last night.

Ab- dullah was such a friend to My has. .1 very wealthy and influential mer- chant of lspshsn, who was delighted with his charm and cleverness. and so pleased with his services that he thought he would make a very good son-in- -law and suggested him as Sufi so his beautiful daughter She was very overbearing and bad tempered: but. thinking that Abdullah was rather good looking, she agreed to It. They were married. Soon his friends came to congratulate him, among them Houss‘eyn, who was known to have a very overbearing and ~ bud tempered wife. He said. "I congratulate you on your marriage," and then he asked the bridegroom. “Are you really happy with a woman who Is known to have such a bad temper?“ assure you that she is perfectly charming and that i am perfectly happy." "May I ask how you manage It?" “Certainly." answered Abdulsh. “0n the night of the marriage 1 went into her apartments in full uniform with my sword on. She did not take any notice of me, but put on s supercillnus air and made a parade of stroking her cat. I quietly picked up her cat and cut off his head with my sword. took the head in one hand, the body in the other and threw them out of the win- dow. My wife was amazed, but did not show It. After a few seconds she broke Into a smile and has been a most submissive and charming wife ever since.” Rousseyn went straight home and put on his uniform and went into the harem. The domestic pet came to greet him. He selsed It with the hand that was accustomed to caress It. drew his sword. and with a single blow decapitated It.
