A PAPER FOR THK PEOPLE.
MAN ABOUT TOWN.
The task of tabulating the income tax returns is a more tedious one than was supposed it would be, and the special deputies having the work In hand will be fortunate if they get through with it in a month from now. The department at Washington expects to have the re turns in by the 15th of this month so that the tax assessment may be returned to the collectors by the middle of June and the taxpayers be notified in time to make their payments by July 1st, the first day of the government's fiscal year, Despite the fact that the blank form on which returns were made and the frequent newspaper explanations of the method of makingout the returns many mistakes were made by persons who filled out the blanks. In some instances as many as four and five letters have passed between the collector's office and a taxpayer in the effort to have the re turn properly made. Even bankers have misunderstood the law. The variety of mistakes is beyond belief. Some persons deducted their household and living expenses. Owners of farms which are rented have not made proper deduction for rent when the rent is in the shape of a part of the crop. Tt in frequently the rase that the owner of the farm rents it on shares and of course the money he receives from the sale of the product of the farm is to be credited to rent and no income tax is lo be paid on that source of income, but the farm owner put down the amount as part of hts income under the head of agriculture and expected to pay tai on it.
The prospects for the fruit crop is better than in many years. There will be fruit where none has been gathered for so long that it was no longer expected. In southern Illinois the acene from the railroad train is a beautiful picture. The trees are like great bouquets. The small fruits are also to be plentiful.
The Express is giving its readers a large amount of telegraph news since the typesetting machines were brought into use. Its telegraph news columns will compare favorably with those of papers in large cities. 4
The deoision of Judge White at Roekville in the Beach case was on the point which lawyers in this city have all along considered to be the vital question in the prosecution of the ex banker. The assignee has not made a report or given any idea when the affairs of the banker would be settled. He is one of his bonds men as treasurer of the Springs bank and is a staunch adherent of the defense in tb- prosecution. Naturally it has been understood all along that he would not make a report that would leave no doubt as to whether the money of depositors had »»*en lost. The lawyers for the defense ai RoekrUle mado the point that the affairs of the banker are in the hands of the Vigo circuit court, and that it being a civil proceeding the criminal case oould not intrench upon it. The question was whether by holding back bis report indefinitely the assignee could indefinitely postpone the trial of the banker. Of course the clrouit court has the power to call him to time and the creditors of Beach, that is those representing one-half of his liabilities, can demand the removal of the assignee. There was a movement on foot some time ago to send such a petition to Judge Taylor but it WR* not carried oat. The lawyers all recognise the weakness of the law on the point that it fixes a fine at double the amount of the money lost by the depositors. It oould just as easily have been fixed for a definite amoun The difficulty will be in returning ave diet that will comply with the law ifa this respect. The carelessness or ignorance of lawmakers waa never better ex emplified than in the framing of this statute. The intent and purpose is susceptible of understanding by the aver* age person, but, the question arises whether the courts have the right to fill in and patch up a law through which there would be no difficulty in driving a coach and four. ________
The school board, at a recent meeting, adopted a suggestion by Mr. John Got don, a principal in the city schools, for which he would receive the thanks of the pupils of the public wehools did they know that he made the suggestion. It is to permit the boys and girls to take out as many book* In a week daring va cation time as they may desire to read. The rule has been to permit the holder of a card to have but one book a week. In vacation young people hare more time to read and they want books of tener. The average boy and girl will read a book In a day or two days at the furthest
and heretofore has counted the subsequent days by hours uutii another b"»k could be procured. Speaking of the library, I want to repeat and endorse the statement I hear on every hand that the management now is auoh that people who go there feel that they are waited upon aa if it were a pleasure to those in charge. There is something very pl^aa urabie in that experience,
Mr. Longyear, of the Harrison Telephone Construction ooinpany, has'not been here for a week «r more, and the report is well founded that he failed to secure subscriptions for the stock of the company whioh he wanted to organize to take the plant and own and conduct the exehauge. He tried in several quarters to enlist local capital, but the gen* tlemen approaohed thought that if it was such a good thing there was no reason why it should not be altogether owned in Terre Haute. The promoters of the company wanted Terre Haute to take $45,000 of the $60,000 capital stock and, of course, the plant was to be bought by the promoters from the parent Harrison company at a big round figure. The time for accepting the franchise granted by the city will expire on the 18th of this month, and it looks now very much as if it will not be accepted and the work of construction begun as tequirtd in the ordlnauce. Councilmen who vo.ted to give the franchise say they were not informed at the time that the scheme was to use local capital to build the plant, else they would have preferred to deal direct with home people. They understood the Harrison company was to do it all and do ii at once. Mr. Longyear is reported to have said thatxhe work of construction would begin if $25,000 of stock was taken here. The cost of the plant is not so great as may be supposed, and that is one reason why local capital did not take hold of the proposition made by Mr. Longyear.
A capitalist said to Man About Town that he did not believe in the praotioe of outsiders coming into a city and beguiling the people into paying for an enterprise on whioh the outside promoter nets several thousand dollars, asd then the industry is left in the bands of those who are not practical in its opera tion with the inevitable result that some one else comes along and either gets it for a song or it is given to him to operate merely to keep men in employment. The result is the home people are out at least the amount the promoter carries away with him, and perhapjB ^11 they invested in the enterprise.
The new street railway is to be built or an attempt made to build it. The stock is subscribed and there is a report that the material has been purchased. Of cQurse the litigation will not begin until after the first effort is made to lay a track. The new company is maintaining absolute seoresy as to where it will endeavor to build its lines, and the old company is equally secretive aa to where it will extend its lines if it extends them at all this year. The people who own the streets whose use is to be thesubjsotof controversy' are expected to take sides with one outnpany or the other like so many geese, and forget that their interests receive only a subsidiary consideration. Mr. Harrison will be repeating his statement that Mr. Crawford is opposing all he undertaken to do in a progressive way for the good of the city, and Mr. Crawford—-well, he won't be talking much, but Ed. Ellis will remark now and then that Russell Harrison doesn't own the town. And along about fall, after months of angry contention and retorts, courteous and unoourteons, we will come to the conclusion that all of the struggle is idle from the standpoint of the impartial cltizsns who own these streets, and by the use of which the railway companies hope to make hundreds of thousands of dollars. -j,

TEERE HAUTE SATTJKDA EVtCNING MAIL, MAY 4,1895.
THE FAMILY TREE.
Captaiu Craik was the proudest man in America, He had served creditably in the war of 1812, as his father in the Revolution and his grandfather in the "Old French war"—all capons who had never roceived a scratch or once encountered the vulgar amey of gunpowder,
That none of his name had ever risen al *ve the rank of captain was a circumstance he not a little plumed himself upon. Generals and commanders-in-chief, he was accustomed to say, were for the most part parvenus, promote^ through luok or for accidental reasons. But a captaincy running in a family for three generations was quite another affair.
Family pride was the captain's "specialty. How far back heoouljl trace his kindred nobody exactly knew, but it was popularly believed he oould, if so minded, produce satisfactory proof that the Craiks had cruised through the flood in their own private yacht.
The captain hated the new and worshiped the old. When he went about it was in an anoient family gig drawn by an old horse of approved extraction, now a mere pedigreo in harness, but-in whose spavins and windgalls the captain took almost as much pride as he did in the family gout
Captain Craik was rich, moreover. Time and the natural rise of property had made him so. He would have Boomed the acquisition of wealth by any less respectable mode. Trade he looked upon as plebeian and vulgar. Speculation was upstartish, and as for petroleum —faugh1
His daughter and only ohild he had left to die unforgiven and almost in want for having married a man without a grandfather. The poof girl had besought his forgiveness while her husband lived, but ceased to do so after his death, seeming to look upon such an act as a sort of treason to his memory. Her infant son, however, soon left motherless as well as fatherless, was taken into favor at last for the sake of the blood that was in him, and thus it came that Willard Spence was brought up in his grandfather's' house in a way befitting the heir apparent to the handsomest for tune within 50 miles.
Captain Craik would have greatly preferred that his grandson, after finishing at college, should have sat down in gentlemanly idleness and quietly awaited his turn at the family succession. But Willard Spence had other viewa He was far from sharing his grandfather's notions on the value of ancestry, and though too discreet to openly laugh at them he felt he was more than likely to run counter to them some day, as his poor mother had done, when his own time to marry came. It was for this reason partly and partly because he had an ambition to be somesifo thing in his own right that Willard prevailed upon his grandfather to enter him as a student in the office of Mr. Stiles, the leading lawyer of the county.
It was with some reluctance that the old gentleman yielded. He entertained a not very exalted opinion of the bar. But then it was a stepping stone to the bench, and though the family could boast of three successive captains there had never been a chief justice in it. It was this consideration that determined the captain.
If John, Stiles was the driest of lawyers, his daughter Mary was the'prettiest and most fascinating of girls, and Willard Spence was not the man to be slow in finding it out It would bo the old story over to recount the steps of their falling in love and how deeply they fell in.
Willard ventured to hint to his grandfather one day, not at the state of his feelings, but what a nice, intelligent young lady Miss Stiles was. The old gentleman caught like gunpowder. He had no excuse for putting a summary end to his grandson's legal studies and packing him off on a foreign tour, for the young man had said nothing to justify a suspicion of his being in love. But the captbin scented danger afar and proceeded to read snob a homily on the sin of marrying into families without lineage and put such a disinheriting look on that Willard was fain to drop
If the reader has ever read Blackstooe he will remember, and if he hasn't we will tell him, that in the second book there is a folding leaf called a "Table of Descents," whereon the author illustrates the mode of computing kindred by a tabular view of the ancestors and collateral relatives for ten or a dozen generations of a certain fictitious John Stiles. The names are inclosed in little circles, with lines uniting those supposed to have intermarried, whose names are further united by other lines to those of their offspring "I have it!" was Willard Spence's exclamation as his eye fell an this leaf lying lose in the volume he was reading one djty.
That evening it was accidentally dropped in his grandfather's way. "What's this?" asked the old gentleman, picking it up and putting an his •pecs. "A paper I found in btioof Mr. Stiles' books," was the innocent reply. "Htun$h! A oopy of the Stiles' family tree, and—stop, let me see—running back, as 1 live, through mate generations than I supposed any
BUUB
in the
state could count but myself! Who'd have thought that dried up old lawyer had so much blood in him?" "Not I certainly,'' aoquieeoed Willard. "And see, hare's the same of Baker. My maternal great-grandmother's maiden name was Baker. By Jove, I shouldn't wonder if we found ourselves related yetl" "Nor I either," said Willard drily. "Miss Stiles—is she very handsome?" inquired the old gentleman. "Passably," answered the young hypocriteu
Then it occurred to the captain to lecture his grandson on the impropriety of not having returned the paperjo
Mr. Stiles at once. The young man defended himself with a fib, which the reader may pardon if be likes. He said t)ia paper had dropped out of a book he brought home to read, and of course he would hand it to Mr. Stiles the first thing in the morning.
Next day Willard was sitting in Mr. Stiles' office fumbling over a lawbook and thinking of Mary when his grandfather's gig drove up. Willard wished in his heart it had broken down by the way. The thing he most dreaded was the two old gentlemen getting together and coming to explanations at present "Is Mr. Stiles in?" inquired the captain. "Yes, sir," answered the office boy, ushering the visitor into the back office before Willard had time to tell the lie he bad framed or tip the boy the wink. "Good morning, Mr. Stiles," said the captain blandly. "Good morning, captain," returned^ the lawyer a little stiffly. "Pray be seated."
The captain excused the stiffness. A man with a dozen generations at his back had a right to be stiff. "I come to speak to you on a matter of importance," said the captain, taking the proffered seat.
The lawyer's face brightened at the prospeot of securing a valuable client "My maternal great-grandmother," the captain proceeded, "was a Baker, and your grandfather"— "Was a shoemaker," the other was on the point of interrupting, for he knew the captain's hobby and had little patience with it.
But before the word was spoken, which would doubtless have led to the explanation Willard so much feared, a ory of alarm broke off the conversation. The two gentlemen reached the front door in time to see the captain's horse and gig dashing down the street at a pace that astonished all beholders. For the first time in 20 years old Roan's blood was up, and as he tore along in a gait compoundea of equal parts of canter and stringhalt it was hard to tell which rattled most, the dry bones of the horse or the riokety old gig.. The question of which would go to pieces first was speedily settled by one of the hubs striking a post, whioh in an instant reduced the vebiole to its original elements and brought old Roan upstanding, his composure completely restored, the crackers having ceased to pop." "Who on earth did it?" roared the captain.
Willard didn't know unless it was a sandy haired boy he had just seen dodge round the corner, with a face too dirty to be recognized.
What with the excitement and the gathering up of the fragments and the arrangements necessary to get the captain and old Roan home, the object of the former's visit was for the time forgotten. Before he found an opportunity Jo renew-it, a severe attack of gout laid him up for a season. Meanwhile Willard pressed his suit Mr Sriles gave his consent. Mary's had already been obtained, and the "family tree" had settled all scruples with the captain, whose only regret was at not being able to attend the wedding. Whether he ever found out the true state of the case is more than we can tell. If he did, he said nothing, for Mary's loving granddaughterly ways soon completely won his proud old heart, and when little great-grandtehildren began to prattle about his knees it wouldn't have made much difference what he found oat Exchange.
