HOW WOMEN' PLAY CARDS.

'BAS" PREACHES A SERMONETTE. Flaying Il.arta With rv lllonde ATomta at Poker-Iark or Light lleaattea Those of Whom to Ilev.re Sermons in 9entsnees. New Yohk-, May 27. Special. People Rre petting tired of poing to the theater; they nre tire J of p.lr.z to teas, but they cover peem to p-t tired of playing cards. It you want to see lovely woman at her ;t. or her worst, watch her at the card t: b'e. You ivill then ece how espy it is ."or her to be dishonest and how greedy ho ii. You will then ece what aa im-ri;-n'j amount cf cheek ehe has, and how lie ill ru-h into a frame about which she ki.uv.g nothing, and of which eh declines I ) bo taujrht anything. If you have any predilection for whirt, you have undoubtsdly itet the young woman who is "so fond of the- game," but who will tell you nine times out of teD that bho really has not played it rery much. iho commences operations by straightening out her hand upon the table, making a pile of spades and a pile of club?, a pile of hearts and a pile of diamonds, until froni knowing your own hand and making a general guess about the others, you are pretty certain aa to vihftt bha holds. After sho has lost three tricks, by throwinz low cards where phe should have put high onea, sho very vaguely asks. '"Oh, what did you say was trumps?" Her mind eatis.ied about this, Ehe proceeds, when ehe is the last player, and the deuce of trumps would have taken the trick, to put on a kincr and then to Fay, "I never believed in sending a boy to do a man's errand." I don't b'a'iie you it you take a drink I don't blame you if yon hate nil womankind, but I enjoy Feeing you the- next evening, when you are to play hearts with Fwect blonde woman in a gown of heavenly blue. he pays she has played tho game several times, and frhe'n pretty euro she knows all about it; but the aalts you confidentially, "Oughtn't I to lead my highest cards first?" You're charmed at Laving euch an intelligent partner, but your eye- open a little when she leads the scecf hearts, follows it up with a king, then dances out the knave, and eventually ehe has all thirty hearts in her pile. There's no u?e trying to teach this woman to p!ay hearts; you can never make her understand that the policy of the game is to get rid o: them no, indeed, bhe thinks that she has achieved the most when ehe is gathering in the ruby red cards and paying out her chips. Another type of woman to be dreaded at the card t&Lle 1 the tender-hearted one. b'he ttas at her best the other nuht when a jack-pot was to tho lore, and it had been opened for L'- cents. Everybody was in it, and ever) body was prepared to bet pretty heavily, when the tender-hearted' lady eaid: "Now, children, I'm not going to let you bo cheated; there's no possibility of anybody beating my hand, and bo there's no u.o ia xny taking any more of your money. The natural conclusion wad that she had a roval l! u.-h. Had she? "When that marvelous hand, that was to beat everybody, was laid down, it was a straight jack high! The woman opposite her held ivur aces, a man had a fall hand, quf-en high, and another one field four treys. A madder party than this you never saw in your life. And the woman who held four aces gave her friend a piece cf her mini, aid 6he: "When you don't know how to play a game, don't fool away the time and upset tho tempers of peopla who do, and when vou are playing cards don't get too tender-hearted. Keep that sort of feeling ior the seclusion of your family and for your pewing society. I don't care if you do cry; if you don't know how to play the game you had no business to make things uncomfortable for ether people, and, if you want to learu, then you ouht to be willing to endure d;apoointJiit.ntij until you tind out the right way. You've broken up the game: you've Diade everybody feel miserable; I feel aa if I had been a brute to you, and yet I think you are a consummate idiot." Then they both cried, and the men said they woiud po and have a game of billiards. And later in the evening, when they came back, they found the two women as friendly aa possible, and ou her way home the cue who had broken up the game mM to the men who formed her efcort: "Kate is such a dear tiling! You know ehe has got a quick way of speaking, but the wouldn't do a mean thing to save her soul!" nd one of tho men tail: "By decree! That's beautiful for one woman to say about another." 'And the unlucky card'-player answered: -'Well, it's true. ho fpeaks her mind tome-times, but tonight 1 reaily think J deserved it." And every man in tho party positively eaid: "Vou certainly did. The English newspapers have brought up a curious question ior discussion. It is thi3: 'in your experience have dark or light women been tho most faithful?" Ihree women eat down to discuss this the other evening. J-aid number one, who happened to be a blonde, pretty and young: "1 Lave never found but three women who were absolutely iaithful to ine ia my life, and they were rather neutral in their coloring. One had brown hair that wasn't quite dark, arothur had l:?ht hair that wasu't quite blondo, and the third had grey hair. The first ouo had been my friend when we were children together, and the friendship lasted absolutely until death did us part. Tho second one was a woman in whose society I found pleasure, cud the third was my mother. On my visiting book there are the names of hundreds of women. If they were aake I if they were my friends they would eay 'yes,' and yet tomorrow, if I needed a woman friend, I should go to the one who likes rue because 1 am a pleasant companion, or to my mother. Jiut I would much prefer to go to a man." Another woman, a woman with brown Lair and brown eyes, then gave her experience, bhesaid; "I had a curious education about women. Girls were very scarce in ovr family, and we were a 1 taught to think them of great value. If you could do anything to give pleasure to a woman, if you could help her by pleasant words, by deed. or in any way whateer, then it wa9 more than a kindness to Ler, it was a courtesy to vouraelf. That was the theory upon which I started out ia life, and the result is, that though materially I aaa not black and blue, spintna.ly I am. The woman to whom I gave the helping hand usually finished up the performance by biting the hand. The woman to whom I gave a certain amount of aUectioa and consideration and kindness w usually the ono who said the most dreadful things about me, who thought 1 had a reason for everything I did aud who was firmly convinced that I was entirely selfish in my desire to assist her. 2so woman friends? Well, very few, aud they are women for whom I have dene nothing, with whom it is merely a queetioa of general liking. The woman for whom you do a good doed immediately concludes she wants to cut your acquaintance, why I don't know, except that she ia like a certain kind of mongrel dog the females of which tan never meet without Laving a rowr. Faithfulness with me ha cot been a matter of complexion, faithleanness has been a general matter." Tho third woman, who had kept very c;uit aid who wa3 neither dark nor light.

ut of the type so common in this coun-

ry, that of light brown hair and dark rown eyes, slowly said: "W ell, 1 ve been urious enough to watch and it ha been a natter of complexion with me. Women Who aro unwomanly, who were deceitful, ivho were liars, mischievous ones, and jvho had no sense of honor whatever, Were usually women who were either oxremely dark or extremely light. Heweens didn't seem to count. A very ilond woman by her wicked tongue upset tny life for at least f ix months. A very lark woman by her lack of honor made no lose belief m all womankind, except mothers. Nowadays if I havo got ft secret hat 1 must tell somebody 1 tIl it to a nan. If I am in a bit of troublo where I n us. t have the eympathvof a woman I tell ii to my mother, and it I need help in anything 1 should ask one of these two." .Now these women were not anything .ut agreeablo women, considerato woiw-n tnd polite women, yet the greatest hurts they had ever had, had come from women, eJ had the greatest rudenesses aud the greatest misunderstanding. It don't make tiem disagreeable to all women, it simply made thern beware of women. The trouble has been . here, that woman has been put on a pedestal and her virtues cstoled until man seems a very miserable specimen beside her. Now it is just about time that sho was Knocked oil" this pedestal and a littlo common sense beat into her head. When I want to do any worshiping 1 am going to worship a man ; he's bigger, stronger, more naturally better looking, hus a greater respect for the truth, and decidedly more charitable for one's weaknesses. If I couldn't get a man to worship, 1 think I would give my allection to a dog, but certainly not to a woman. Take up the question that Is in tho Knglish papers and think it over: "Who among your women friends havo found you most faithful, blondes or brunettes?" and you will be surprised to find that it isn't a question usually of compleiion, but that woman to her "sister woman is generally alout as faithful as the original serpent. "Oh," says somebody, "you are irritated about something." No, I am not. I am sitting on the outside of a nineteenth century garden of Eden, and watching Lilith and Eve talk together while I am giving thanks that at last I am sensible enough not to be in it. "Well," says somebody, "you certainly must think there are nome good women." Some good women ! 1 hank God, there are millions of them, but they are not tho women wlio go in for the ecstatic friendships; they are the ones whose friendship has grown in years with you; the friendship that springs up like a weed in the night deserves to be jerked up and thrown away the next morning. Ik'ware of the woman, my dear girl, who tells you all about hcrstdf w hen you first meet her. Heware of the wom in who announces to yu that she never said a dis.tpreeuble word about another woman. Gracious, goodness ! the air will be green when she does begin. The woman who never says a disagreeable word is like the dog who never barks he bites, and ho bites to poison. Beware of the woman m ho is over-rich iu her caresses to you ; by all the laws of nature, a woman ought to kiss a man, aud she is wasting the time of two women when she fools about this eort of thing. There are women we love, women wo love and trust and who love and trust us, women who care for us through every woe that may come, who are joyful with us and who don't misunderstand us, women who take cider down and wrap it about the skeleton in our closets so that we may never hear the horrible bones rattle. Thee women ure more than friends', they are mothers. Nobody else can do that; no woman in the world is ever enough your friend to bo to you what your mother is, and if you don't realize that today you will tomorrow, or some time sJon, and if you haven't been to her what you ought to be you will g off, hide your head and wonder what made you so blind. You will shed many a bitter tear over this, and shed them in vain. It sounds a little bit like a sermon, doesn't it? Well, we all have our times for siTinoni.ing, an 1 it's meant to be a kind y Iittle sermon ; it's meant to bo said to each one of you, looking ttraight into your eyes with a heart full of kindness and thankfulness. It seems to you a bit like somebody who wears the cap and bells drawing the crowd with the jangle and then preaching. Han't the fool's sermon often been a good one? And this sermon which is told from the talk cf three women about other women has ended up with a very old text which reads, "Honor thy father and thy mother," but w hat the preacher wants to emphasize is to "honor your mother." Mie sullercd for you, she loves you and she knows you, her woman child, as nobody else in the world does. Just think over the text with me, and then rnaylio you will pray as I do that when death walks iuto tho house to put his cool and restful hands on the eyes that are so tired he may choose you first, because you would be friendless without your mother. There are a good many tilings that doserve to bo honored that don't get it. If you honor and are polite to your children they will give you honor and respect in return. If you honor and are polite to those you employ you will get honor and respect in return. If you honor and aro polite to the traveler you meet by land or sea you will get respect and consideration for what you have given. If you honor and respect the laws of a state, or of a corporation, you have a right to proper treatment. If you honor and respect every man, woman, child, baby and dog that you meet in your walks, if you give them the courtesy due, then you can be very certain that politeness and respect will be shown you by everything that passes you by. Tho dog you kick is going to bite, the woman you aro rude to is going to snub you, the child you don't consider worth politeness is going to bo impertinent to you, and rijrht straight through life where you give honor and respect you will get them in return; many times a leaven of real liking will be added. Honor and respect the preacher her intentions aro honorable, and if her serrnou has fallen a little short of the conventional tyte, remember that the seminary through which she has gone has been that hard one called tho world, where tho Flesh stands on one side and the devil on the other, and to keep the evil spirits away you havo to bit out straight and hard from the shoulder. The tettisgood; tho 6erroon ia meant to be, so because of what was intended be charitable to the preacher who does not dare to put prefix or affix to Ler name, but calls herself only Bab.

AT THE FOUXT OF FASMON.

ONE OF THE OPENING DAYS OF PAR13 What a I.ady Hw Dutcrlpttoni of rashlnanbl Coitamtt-Gowti fur Voting L. dlra 1tutlful lists Fantasia ana Thalr Handle, rani, Etc Tho opening day was not a pretty day, says a Taris letter writer. It was overcast, oppressive and chilly by "fits and starts." Those fits and starts encouraged great latitude in costumes, dark serges on one hand and light toilettes to make a drawing-room flutter on the other. I saw no bout'ant draperies not even on the pretty women on the pictures but rather very tight snirts, ridinc-habit like at the hips and flowing out in bias trains. The most fetching thing in wool was of a cream ground, with an indefinite zig zag of blue etched in. The skirt, deini-train, bias and not too full, was destitute of the least bit of trimming or stitching. Tho corsage was a coat front with one dart, the back long and like the coattail of a man's evening dress. The vest was of dark blue silk, with jabot-iikc plait on the chest and all the fullness drawn in slightly below the waist. The buttons were emoked pearl, etched with gold. Another gown was of fine cloth of a color variously described an crushed strawberry, or almond color. The usual plain skirt, trimmed ut tho foot with hand embroMery in jet ; but a band of jet galloon would be equally effective. The corsage buttoned w ithout trick or device down tho front. A bit of relief from llully corsages. The skirt was jetted down the front and half way round the bottom, and was slightly gathered on below the waist line. The collar and wrists were trimmed in jet, and the sleeves were perfect muttonlegi, fitting the arm very cloely from the elbow down. It is really a pleasure to see buttons, and wo are really going to wear them again. Mr. Younghusband will rejoice at this revival, and finish his servitude to those vicious little torments, "hooks and eye?," with enthusiasm. " Of the thin gowns, one that many Messieurs turned and looked after appreciatively was of thin b'aek laiuage brocaded in blue. Tho entire gown was transparent and made over blue eilk. The skirt was trimmed at the foot with afuil tlounco of black lnee, and spaced with ornaments of jet. The corsage was a pointed basque, from which depended, a graduated fringe of jet. growing quite short in tho back. The collar and tho lower half of tho sleeves were heavily appliqued in jet, and the arm hole was inclosed in a jet friugo which falls in a delicious jingle. This is a charming model for grenadine, and it is popular with women who have finely turned hips. A costume worn by a beautiful young countess was of white India silk, figured largely in b ack, green and vellow. It was trimmed at the foot with a liounco of blacK lace, held in place by jet ornaments. The back was princess. The corsage, which had a basque front, had lace gathered on over the silk to simulate a yoke, and tho Bleeves were very fully covered with lace to the elbows. The silk continued to the wrists. This gown was er.ormemcnt chic, and is the keynote for elegant summer costumes. Another gown for young ladies of slender figures is of rose and green striped India silk. The skirt may be trim mod cither with a lace llounce, or of the silk draped on in the style of a lamberquin. Flounces aro even called lamberquius, and are much worn in this good?. This is a round gathered waint, and over that is worn a fichu of lace and green India silk. A soft sash of the same is adjusted in long loops and ends in the back. A hat of very light tan straw trimmed with rose mousseline de soio and green wings is a dove of a hat. These low Lata of almond i-olor straw are much worn by lesJeunes lilies with brilliant skins. Another kind of a hat, more dashing and more to the gout of. an American girl is of thin, black straw, set well on the head and trimmed with bold bows of crimson ribbon, and vivid yellow roses with plenty of foiiag", Uright yellow and purple in mousseline de soie are also used in combination, btrango to relate, they are not only ugly, but are vas'ly becoming to women who have a healthy pallor. Mrs. Croesus and her relatives are the only women who can be in the fashion w hen it comes to parasols. Parasols in Paris must match the gown. Match it exactly. If it doesn't, it isn't at all tho thing. l?y matching I don't mean matching really, but complimentary. Tho dazzling hite of Paris makes black parasols the first choice. Llack t watered silk ou black hilk w ith gauzy lace insertion is very much tho fashion. Scotch plaid silk parasols are gay and smart, but tho delight of the true Parisian heart is an nliair that is made up of lace and mousseline de soie. It is drupfd and befiimsied. At the very tiptop there's a nodding rose, if niadame thinks the rose the queen of flowers. If she doesn't she takes the posy she does approvo sovereign and lies it to the Hap of her parasol. White, pink, yellow, anything that's becoming, anything that's cool and summery, they are all the mode. I've saved tho best till the last, like a wise child at a birthday fete. The handles of those parasola are lovely. They are of . the wood that matches the eilk. There's red pepper wood, green, orange and lemon stick, hazel wood, with enambled nuts adorning the handles, and, ah! the delicious rose sticks. I saw a plain, polished handlo the other day, with the owner's monogram in gold pretty and distinctive. There is a flower fan exhibited in one or two shops that is new. This ono in the cut is made of three large poppies with a plentitude of petals, which flutter gracefully and pleasingly when the fan is agitated and dispose of themselves in some mysterious manner when it is closed. Another, made of one single giant white chrysanthemum, waa even prettier and not cheap at ?20. I saw yesterday in the hands of a friend a fan which was absolutely perfect Long, full, cream-white ostrich tips mounted on tortoise shell sticks of such a rare quality that they were tho color of amber. This ch?f-d' virurt was just from Poudet'B. And this reminds me that although Bleeves are still worn very long, one sees on the wrist now slender hoops of diamonds and rubies. Three or four of these are worn, but unless they are very rare it is better to take advantage of tho length of sleeve anil discard the superfluous. il.ntoat I aMhloa "otaa. The sheer and pretty figured delaines, so frequontlv worn last year, are likely to be general still. There are again awful and still louder rumors that crinoline, if not the hideous hoopskirt proper, is looming up on fashion's horizon. The prettiest trimmings for French ginghams, batistes and pimilar fabrics are of openwork embroideries, or light, delicate linen laces. English carriage capes to be worn at the seaside and in tho mountains this summer are made of bright red ' French camel's hair, very light and soft to the touch, but rather rough in appearance. Some very expensive "jeweled" and other buttons once again appear upon new bodices and waistcoat. Double fronts button over others, gome of them

crossing en chalc, fastening on the hip, a stvle quite popular m Bedford cord and India cashmere tailor costumes. Paris dressmakers add a deep band of water-proof goods to tho ' underside of street dresses that sweep tho ground. This band can then be sponged each time it has dragged tho mud and debris after it. The Queen Anne shoe, with its long instep flap and broad Irii-h-diamond buckle, is a very fashionable model designed to be worn with tea-gowns and other dressy home toilets, but tho shoes and low sandals of undressed kid, simply wrought with jet or cut steel beads, are far more graceful. All the dressy summer bonnets and toques are more or less transparent. If of straw or rushes, the p'ait is very open, and so reveals a space between. There are also some gilt-wire bonnets which aro semi-transparent, and countless models made of tulle, net, and crepe, lisse, which leaves visible the arrangement of the hair beneath. Low crowns aro universal, but no shape U special. Among fresh Taria models is a handsome black striped grena.iine with cut jet flowers in the stripe. It is cnt en princesse, laced behind, and is finished with a demi fan train. A liounco of rich black lace is round the bottom of tho skirt, and the sleeves are high and full. The skirt is draped and not slightly either, but more than has appeared upon dress toilets in many months. There is a reaction abroad against the too-close sheath skirts, and draperies of various kinds are "returning unhearalded." WHY THEY FOUGHT.

Boy a Rant f Itaasmant and IlaT It Out in Great bhapa Korea. A man who lives in upper Lcxingtonave. tells this tale ol a recent experience in his family, says the New York Tiuus. It forcibly illustrates certain well-known characteristics of the genus man and the early age at which they are developed. "About a fortnight ago," he says, "I went home to dinner one night to find my son Charles, a lad of eixteen, in bad shape. His eye was bruis?d and inllamed, a front tooth was missing, and h:e right nand was stitF and swelling. There aro some rough boys in our neighborhood, who come from east from us, and I concluded the gang had tackled him. Upon being questioned, however, be admitted that it wf 9 not a hoodlum affair. A fellow and me,' he said finally, and with evident reluctance, 'had a difference to se ttle and we hired a basement in Third-ave. and w e had it out.' "That was all ho would Bay. 'Why or with whom he fought, 1 could not get out of him. When his elder brother came in and eaw his condition he vowed vengeance on tho one who had caused it, Jiut Charles shook his head meaningly. 'I can take care of him,' he said, 'when my hand gots all right.' "The next morning his" bond was so much worse I sent for tho doctor. After reducing the inflammation, which took two or three days, he found that several of the small bones on the back of the hand were broken. The injury is likely to lay him up for n good while. "Several days afterward I happened to meet on the" elevated train an acquaintance of mine, who is ilso a neighbor, living on a sitle street a couple of blocks above me. We rode up town together, and in the course of our talk lie mentioned that his bov John M as pretty well battered ut). " 'What's the trouble?' 1 asked. "'Ho got into a light and was rather badly punished was the reply. 'It waa a private scrapping match, too, it sueais. He and another lad bad" a grievance T.nd they rented a basement in Third-ave. and had' it out.' "I burst into a laugh. My friend looked at me inquiringly. '1 know all about it,' I said. "I've got the other boy at my house laid up for repairs.' "I went to his home with my friend to interview Master John. He had a gash on his cheek, his nose was turned around looking over his ear, and two fingers of ono hand were broken. I asked after Charles and showed signs of tatisfaction at the rec ital of his condition. 'I'll give it to him worse than that when my liand is well again,' he said which was exactly Charles' determination. I tried to find out the cause of the evidently bitter feud, but John, like Charles, would not tell. "When I got home, however, I attempted a littlo strategy. 'Well,' eaid I to Charles, 'I've discovered with whom you have been fighting.' He looked surprised and a good ileal pleased when I further told him how thoroughly John was battered. 'And,' I went on, 'that was a very silly reason for you two bovs to half kill one" another.' Charles hung his head and looked somewhat ehcepbjh. Then he braced up defiantly : " 'I don't care.' he said. 'I'll hurt him worse yet if he don't quit hanging around her. "The ruso had" worked. These two voung scamps had fought savagely over a little giggling school-girl, and each is ready to begin over again at tho earliest possiblo moment.' General Sporting Nntsa. Iktston is to have a cycling school devoted entirely to laiies. There will be nearly 400 wheelmen start on the Philadelphia Century run on June 1. T. A. Edge has decided not to bring his party of English racing men over to America this year. Lee of Hartford broke the world's record 220-yard hurdle race last week. Ho finished in :24 4-5. Chief Consul Kobinson of Massachusetts has appointed an official tailor for tho lady L. A. W. members of that state. At Point Breeze park, Philadelphia, Friday, Silver Tail is said to have paced a mile in 2:0S with a running mate. The Galveston athletic club has determined to offer a one-thousand-dollar purao for a meeting between Jack Burko of Houston and Andy ttowen, the fight to take place within seven weeks. In George Voorhis stable at Detroit aro three three-year-olds upon whom a good many eyes will bo turned. They are Patti Hunger by Patron, 2:141; Mattio Hunter, 2:12, and Sequel, by Patron out of Secret, 2:20. Vespasoin, with a trotting record of 2:24j, and Mac, with a pacing record oi 2:24, have been matched for a race at the Homewood track at Pittsburg this fall for $1,000 a eide. Each horse is to go at his own gate. "The ruddy-cheeked, full-limbed girl of today, who climbs mountains, rides, swims, rows, and is not atraid of the health-giving kisees of tho god of the day, is a living illustration of the value of exercise," says Sir Morell Mackenzie. Joe Heidiger of Pittsburg, a trotting horse driver who is under expulsion for "ringing." is training German trotters. He writes buck that there ore from twelve to twenty etarters in every race- in that country, and trotting is growing in popularity 'among the masses. Heidigor is charmed with tho Kuasian trotters, who are fast, well gaited, never break, nnd wear no boots or overchecka. Capt, J. M. McGregor sends this challenge to the Cleveland Mai Dralsr: "It having been brought to my notice that Sergt. Maj. Morgan of the Royal military college, Kingston, Canada, has challenged any swordsman in- Canada or the Unltad states to a sword contest for $2tx) a side, I would stato that I am prepared to meet him in a match, seven points to each weapon, and will cover any deposit he may make, the match to take place in Cleveland or Cedar Point."

THE TAX OX CORPORATIONS

MUCH GREATER UNDLR THE NEW LAW Attorney-General Smith Riddles the Falie Statciuente of the "Journal" The IacrrHit Under tha New Tjih Very Prominent ew Law a Good One. Attorney-General Smith was asked what, if enything, he had to say with reference to the Journal's observations on the new tax law. That officer seemed quito ready to express himself and did so with much vigor. Among other things he said: since the passage of the new tax law, which waa approved March J, lSid. the Journal Lai labored to conviuce tue public that corpora, tioin were unduly favored ly iti pro. ions, in that rs to them the tnxr have been reduce ?, while as to tha farming and laboring clasaee they have been largely increased; and if there were no other evidence that they have beea trying to mislead and deeeire the people about thii matter, the editorial column of their paper during the last three months ai.or l oiuj'le proof of the fact. The Journal has stated a a hict that the txea on corporations have teen reduced from 50 to 80 per cent, and increased oa other property at lea'J 50 per cent. Such a position can on!y be attributed to ignorance of the law or willful dishonesty in constrains it. l!ut I am inclined to favor the Journal with the presumption of ignorance of the provisions of the tax law, however much it may choose to malign my ability as a lawyer. Kuowing the law, the Journal engaged in a dishonest ePort to misconstrue it and deceive the people. The columns of that paper gave solemn proof of this fact and the presumption is that it hat done so to mislead and deceive the public aud make political sentiment eiuut the democratic party. As evidruce of the truth of this proposition the Journal' editorial of today is a masterpiece. jt.'ing compellel to answer a letter of mine published in the Tiptoa Timet, it hhs resorted to misstatement to sustain Irs former position on the tax question. The Tiptoa letter states the plain truth and it is corroborated by a dozen or more editorials published ia the Journal since last March. I shall prove that it '.is not only wrong, but intentionally and purposely wrong, when it charges thatauy cIhm of corporations has been favored in the new tux law. It is stated in today's Journal that the taxes on express, telegraph, telephone and sleeping enr companies were reduced by the aot of March rj. .9l, from GO to tMJ per cent, below the rate fixed by laws of l.VVJ. This is not true. I assert that the laws of lS'J did Dot produce any revenue to the state worth naruinir, and that the act of March 6, 1&1, is the only law ever passed by the legisla' ture from w hich an undisputed tax on the earnin? of corporations may Le expected or realized. rlhe law of 1801 not only taxes (he grots earnings of the corporations named, but their tuturible property a well. It not only taxes what these corporations earn oa business originnMiaiid terminating in this etate. but it reaches earnings of business extending from other Rtates into this t-tate, and from this into and through other 6tates. When was this done before? It will be useful to compare the laws of with the tax law of lS'Jl. I give the following careful statement: The act of March 9. 1S3D, concerning taxation of express companies, lixed a tax of 2 per cent, of the gross earnings of such companies on business onyinatinj and terminating in the state of Indiana. Tcleirraphie companies were required by the act of M:irch 11. lH'J, pak'0 39. to pay a tat of 2 per cent, ou the jrross earnings on all business vn.inta'iny and trrminutinj in Indiana. Ti lephone companies were required by the act of March 11, paije 3L'7, to pay a tax of 1 per cent, on the jrros, earning! criminating aud terminating in this state. iileepmj car companies were required bv act of March 11, 18K, page 31'8, to pay a tax of 10 per cent, ou the tross earnings on business originating and Urminclinj iu tie sUta of Indiana. Sees. and 09 of the act of March 6, 1801, provide that telegraph and express com psu.es shall make aud deliver to the auditor of state a sworn (-tateruert showing the entire receipts of each silent in the state for the year ending April 1, including the proportion of gross receipts of such ocmpanies earned or charged, whether actually received or not. These sections do not confine the company's liability to earnings on business begun and terminating in this state as the law of 1869 did, but on any busiueaa which haa itn beginning or ending in this rUte. To illustrate: the earnings on a package or message from an Francisco to Indianapolis must be accounted for in this state fur the purpose of taxation. Upon these earnings the company must pay ?1 on every $100 grfM receipts. V.y sec 70 telephone companies orgaoized under the laws of other states and deing business iu this stale, are required to nake a similar report of the cross amount of all their receipts iu this state; that is. on all business done by such esmpany between this and any othar state or exclusively within this stafe. And upon such erross earnings there Jhall be paid to the state 25 cents on each 100. bj sec. 71 sleeping oar companies are required to report the srss amount of their earnings within or without this state, for money earned within this state; aud in computing such gross receipts, the same shall be in propordon that the distance traveled in this state bears to tie whole dif tauce paid for. Thut is to say, that every sleeping car hauled across Indiana must fay to this state taxes on its gross earnings iu proportion that the distance traveled ia th'i state bears to the whole distance paid for by the passenger, and such companies shall pay a tax thereon to this state in the sum of 4- on every f 1C0 of gross receipt. Express and telegraph companies must comply with this law or forfeit 100 for each day iu default after June 1, and forfeit their rijrht to carry on business in this state until tbey do comply with the law. Telephone companies shall, on failure to comply, forfeit $10 per day, and sleepiug car companies $25 per day, and as a further penalty, may forfeit the right to do business in this state. The penalties are sever and inexorable. Under the provisions of the law of 1SS9 the state was limited to a tax on the gross earnings on local bueiness done by these corporations in Indians. In the language of those statutes it was a tax on the gross earnings of business criJinating and fcrmno'i7 in the state. The new law changes this and extends the taxing power to the earnings of any business which in whole or in part receives the proteouon of our laws. The eunirgs of telegraph, express, telephone aud sleeping car companies derive! from busiuess vririnalinj aud Urmxnntiny in this state arc of trivial consequence and herein was the weakness of the old law. The new law brings to the people the remedy needed. The new law will be enforced, and the state will cet a revenue. The old law was never enforced aad never yielded the state a revenue. As proof of this, all the money ever derived from express, telegraph, telephone and sleeping cars, uodtr former laws amounts to (G,32&S9. And this amount was paid on a settlement made by Governor llovey and Attorney. General Michener, under the 2 per cent, aot of 18S9, and the settlement was on the basis of 1 Jer ceut. on gross earnings, and eonuued to ndiana business, and not for one but for many yesn back. '1 he several a-ts of 139 over the repeal ot which the Journal feels so aggrieved, were, in tho opinion of Governor llovey and AttorneyGeneral Michener, wholly unconstitutional and were so treated. Both of these officials were and are republicans, and in addition to being attorney-general, Mr. Michener was at the time of this settlement the chairman of the republican state committee. The utter falsity ot the JonrnaTt position is shown by reference to Mr. Michener'a report for the year lilQ. on the subject of Uxing these same corporations under what he terras the unconstitutional laws of 1889, and upon this point recommends the passage of the one now ia force. Can there be stronger evidence that the Journal is engaged in a bold and dishonest attempt to deceive the people about corporation taxation, when it undertake to exalt a weak, inefficient and unconstitutional law above a plain, fair and honest enactment of the ctueral assembly t and one, too, intended to compel corporations to bear their fair share of the burden of taxation? . Rut aside from the unconstitutional feature cf the laws of 1C'.', the tax lawe of lfcal nre infiniuly wiser, Btroucer and wore efLcient then any heretofore enao;ad on the subject of corporation taxation. If th nw tax law is so favorable to corpo- ! rations, why is it that all corporations aBeoteJ

Da. J. F. Kinchsioe, Conway, Ark. The Centaur Company, 77 mi'V lal t' li iiTr V. .. are opposing it and preferring to be jjoverncJ Wy the old law? Do corporations ever complain when they are exempted from taxation, tit their burdens made lighter? 1'id cny ! ody ever read an editorial in the Journal ask In that the burdeus of unjust and class taxation be removed from the heads of the farmers nnd laborers? Did the Jonr'.nl demand that tho parents of Indiana should be relieved from the unjust exaction of the school book trust? D.d it ever demand the passage of a law that would bring to the people of Indiana an honest election? Its answers will be lame and unsatisfactory, but it would be prudent not to unduly expose itself ou the subject of the new tax law. A BARNYARD FREAK. Indtnnapolle I'roduc n Ilanlthy Chicken wl h Two Pitra of Fct. On last "Wednes lay Mr?. S K. Pickpy, who lives at No. 82 Greer-et., found in a nest of chickens, newly hatched, ono littlo piper that was abundantly supplied with leird, even beyond ita utmost need-. It had four of them, and was in a good healthy condition when viewed by tho startled optics of a Skxtinki. reporter yesterday. The chichen is a brunette and wearB its polonaise pompadour. While it is yet laboring under this disadvautaco of juvenile peach clown, it ia nevertheless envied throughout the highest society of Mra. Dickey's hennery. There was a merry twinkle in the eye of the lluil'y little quadruped when it was placed on exhibition yesterday on the back porch. A very dignified cock walked up near it with tho condensed graces of a Fates hou3 waiter, and folding his wines nki;nb, turned his bead over with a puzzled expression on hie face, and then v.s with a sudden sense of Home divine eatbiuciion, crowed as if his heart would break ar.d he evidently knew what he was crowing about. If it were not on account of any recent democratic victory, it miht havo been occasioned by one of a more personal character any way, he seemed highly featiatiod with the returns. Among the henB, things are dil'ercat. On account, perhaps, of the prodigy's parentage beingshrouded in such mystery, on the mother' side, tho honor is Kirn by tbem with more modesty. And it is only now and then, that the low ecstatic cocklo from some presumptive pullet, announrcs a questionable edification, which seems to irritate the nerves of the hen, who has worn her breast baro in brinrinz about the alarming result, almost beyond endurance. "While the little chick uses its fore foot to stand on, its hind feet are used as propellers, after much the haiue fashion aa the scoops of a mole. It is now two days old, and stranco to say, is as lively us any chick in the brood, eating and chirping oa its way across the yard as blithely as a Brown county picnicker.
