and sent to all the internal revenue collectors over the country. There are some points, however, which are not decided, and the internal revenue department said they were not going to borrow trouble by deciding questions which have not been raised. One of those is in regard to the salary of the president of the United States and those of the judges of the supreme and United States courts. The constitution forbids the lessening or increasing of the salary of these offices during their term of office, and the question is whether the salary can be decreased by a tax.

Speaking of the return of his income by the president the commissioner said that the question in regard to the president's salary had not been raised and that the president had not made the returns upon his other income to the Washington office because this was not his legal residence. The cabinet officers have all made tlieir returns of their incomes to the collectors of the income districts, and Mr. Thurber, the president's secretary, has sent his returns to the Michigan collector.

TIS THE SAME OLD STORY

HE DIDN'T KNOW THE GUN WAS LOADED,

Q-us Cornell, Aged lJi Years, Shot, With JJJ.-Elobert Kille—Not Much Hopes of His Kecovery.

This morning Gus Cornell, aged about 12 years, of the glass works addition, went to the home of Mr. Shull, near the water works plant, aud with Mr. S.'s boys, started to go hunting aud fishing. While crossing a field to Brandywine creek, one of the ShuJl boys, about the same age as young Cornell, was carrying the latter's 22-calibre fiobert rifle. The Cornell boy was playing pranks, and as he had told the Shull boys that the riile was not loaded, the one carrying it playfully pointed it at young Cornell and puileu the trigger. All were astonished when the gun went off and the bullet struck Cornell over the left eye. He waj carried to Mr. Shall and Dr. J. P. Black was called

111

aud was acconjpan

ied by O. O. Souders. Dr. Black found that the bullett had penetrate 1 the skull, and as he could not locate it, it is probable that it is in the braiu, and the chances are that he will not recover.

Cornell's parents are French, and can speak no English. Their chtldron, however, speak both English and French, and interpret for them.

Oh! the everlasting foolishness of allowing children of that age to have guns! There also should be a law against pointing any kind of a fire-arm at a person, with a severe penalty. Parents then might so impress the matter on the minds of their children that no one would point a gun at another

E. Hall, at Dayton, Ohio.
