interesting story of
remature death. Her narrative is as
from p
follows: 1894, I was con¬
“For ten years prior to a
stant sufferer from aoute stomach trouble. I
had all the manifold symptoms of acute dys¬
pepsia. and at times other troubles were pres¬
ent in complication—I did not know what it
to enjoy a meal. No matter how careful
was quality, quantity and
I might be as to the
preparation of my food, distress always fol¬
lowed eating. I was despondent and blue.
Almost to the point of insanity at times, and
would have been glad to die. Often and
often 1 could not sleep. Sympathetic heart
trouble set in and time and again I was ob¬
liged to call a doctor in the night to relieve
sudden attacks of suffocation whieh would
come on without a moment’s warning.
“My troubles increased aa time wore on and
I spent large sums In doctor bills, being com¬
pelled to have medical attendants almost con¬
stantly. During 1892 and 1893, it was im¬
possible for me to retain food, and water
brashes plagued me. I was reduced to a
akeleton. A consultation of physicians was
unable to determine just what did ail me.
The doctors gave us as their opinion that the
probable trouble was ulceration of the coats
of the stomach and held out no hope of re
covery. One doctor said, ‘All I oan do to
relieve your suffering is by the use of opium.’
■‘About this time a friend of mine, Mrs.
flymantha Smith, of Glidden, Iowa, told me
about the ease of Mrs. Thurston, of Oxford
Junction, Iowa. This lady said she had been
afflicted much the same as I had. She had
consulted local physiolans without relief, and
had gone to Davenport for treatment. Giving
up all hope of recovery, she was persuaded Pills.

Loyal to His State.
Kentuckians are always proud of
their state in whatever department of
human labor they may hold place. Not
long ago a widow went to see a marble
cutter to get a tombstone for her late
husband. She selected a plain one
from his stock and gave him an in¬
scription to put on it.
“Can’t do that,” ho said, politely,
when he had read it.
“Why not?” she asked in surprise.
“I’m paying for it.”
“Yes’rn, but I can’t put that on. I
stretch my conscience a good many
times in what I put on a tombstone,
but I ain’t going to tell a plain lie
when I know it.”
The widow was greatly shocked, and
insisted on his explaining what he
meant.
“Well, ma’am,” he said, “you’ve
got here, ‘Gone to a better land,’ and
that ain’t so, ma’am. There ain’t any
better land than Kentucky .—Detroit

THE INCOME LEVY.
OLNEY PLEADS ITS CONSTITU¬
TIONALITY.
The Matter Being Argued Before the
U. S. Supreme Court.
The proceedings in the income tax
cases in the supreme court at Wash¬
ington Tuesday opened with argu¬
ment by Attorney General Olney on
behalf of the government for the va¬
lidity of the tax.
The court room inside the bar was
crowded when the court came in at
noon, and there was no time when the
limited capacity of the room was suffi¬
cient to accommodate the audience.
Mr. Olney began by saying that the
chief interest of the government in the
present litigation was limited to the
constitutional questions which the
several plaintiffs allege to be involved.
Whether they were really involved he
would not attempt to determine.
An examination of the plaintiffs’
bills and briefs and arguments seemed
to him to show that many of the al¬
leged objections to the validity of the
income tax are simply perfunctory in
character.
“They are taken pro forma,” he
said, “by way of precaution, because
of the possibility of a point develop¬
ing in some unexpected connection—
and just as good equity pleader, be
his knowledge of his case of the perti¬
nent remedies ever so thorough, never
fails to wind up with the general
prayer for other and further relief.
“No time need be spent in discuss¬
ing the averments that the income tax
law is an invasion of vested rights or
takes property without due process of
law. These propositions are pure
generalities, and if there is anything
in them, it is because they compre¬
hend others which are the only real
subjects of probable discussion.
“Again, suppose it is to be true that
the income tax law undertakes to as¬
certain the incomes of citizens by
methods which are not only disagree¬
able, but are infringements of person¬
al rights. The consequence is not that
the law is void, but that the hotly de¬
nounced inquisitorial methods cannot
be resorted to.
“The like considerations apply to
the question that the law is to apply
to the taxing of the agencies and in¬
strumentalities of these several states.
It is not yet definitely adjudicated
and is by no means to be admitted
that the income of the state and mu¬
nicipal securities is not taxable by the
United States when assessed as part of
the total income of the owners under
a law assessing incomes generally and
not discriminating against such securi¬
ties, and others of the like character.
“But suppose the contrary, the re¬
sult is not that the law is bad in toto,
but that it is bad only as to the in¬
come of state and municipal eecurities.
“If I am right in these observa¬
tions,” he continued, “the constitu¬
tional contention of the plaintiffs sim¬
mers down to two points. One is that
an income tax is a direct tax and must
be imposed according to the rule cf
apportionment and the other is based
upon the alleged violation of the con¬
stitution with regard to uniformity.”
He declared that whether an income
tax is what the constitution describes
as a “direct” tax, is a question as com¬
pletely concluded by repeated adjuca
tions as any question can be. It is
not a direct tax within the meaning of
the constitution unless five concurring
judgments of this court have all been
erroneous.”
Speaking on another point raised by
appellants, he said no land tax is aim¬
ed at or attempted by the statute—
there is no lien on land for payment—
and the whole scope and tenor of the
statute shows the contemplated sub¬
ject of taxation to be nothing elfee.
Mr. Olney devoted considerable time
to the meaning of the word “uniform”
as applied to the collection of imposts,
excises, etc., declaring that the word
had a territorial application and no
other.
The power to tax, he said, is for
practical use and is necessarily to be
adapted to the practical conditions of
human life. These are never the same
for any two persons, and as applied to
any community, however small, are in¬
finitely diversified. Regard being
paid to them, nothing is more evident,
nothing has oftener declared by courts
and jurists than that absolute equality
of taxation is impossible, as is charac¬
terized in an opinion of this court, on¬
ly a “baseless dream.”
Black’s Resignation.
Governor Atkinson has accepted the
resignation of Major Black as con
gressman from the Tenth district. He
wrote a letter to the congressman ac¬
cepting the resignation without com¬
menting on the situation. He inform¬
ed Major Black in the letter that he
would call a new election in ample
time to give all parties interested time
to prepare for it.

A Spanish Cruiser Missing.
The Spanish cruiser Reina Kegente
is believed to have foundered off Tan¬
gier, Morocco, during the recent gale.
She had a crew of 420 officers and
men.
OUR FLAG FIRED UPON.
An American Mali Steamer Chased bj
a Spanish Man-of-War.
The American mail steamship All i
ancia, while proceeding from Colon to
New York on the morning of the 8th
instant, sighted a barkentine rigged
steamer under the land off Cape May
sie, the eastern edge of Cuba, which
headed directly toward her.
At 7 o’clock, when about two and a
half miles distant, the stranger hoist¬
ed the Spanish flag, which was saluted
by hoisting the American ensign and
dipping it, which act of courtesy was
answered by tbe Spaniard. At 7:15
she fired a blank cartridge to leeward,
which was soon followed by another.
The American ensign was again hoist¬
ed and dipped, but the course and
speed of the ship was not changed, as
no hostile demonstration was antici¬
pated, as the Alliancia was more than
six miles off the land at the time.
The Spanish man of war was not sat¬
isfied with even the double salute to
her flag, but proceeded to chase the
American at her full speed, judging
from the smoke that came from her
funnels, and seeing that the Alliancia
was drawing away from her, she hove
to, to bring tbe guns to bear and fired
a solid shot which struck the water
less than an eighth of a mile away
from the ship and directly in line.
This was followed by two more solid
shots which fortunately did not reach
their mark, though they struck the
water in plain sight of the ship, the
Spaniard plainly showing the intention
to hit her if she could. •
Captain Cross, of the Alliancia,
knowing he was more than two leagues
from land and on the high seas, did
not consider it his duty to detain his
ship to find out the reason for such an
outrage, even for so summary a de¬
mand and so ordered full steam and
gradually drew out of range.
The chase was kept up for more
than twenty-five miles before it was
abandoned. If the Spaniard had had
more speed or her gunners been better
marksmen, no doubt the incident
would not have ended so fortunately
for the American.
This outrage has been reported to
the secretary of state by Captain
Crossman and no doubt a prompt de¬
mand will be made on the Spanish
government for an explanation of the
insult, and a reason required for the
attempt made to stop an American
mail steamer on the high seas in time
<of peace.
Captain Crossman has written a let¬
ter to the secretary of state at Wash¬
ington, giving a full statement of the
Spanish warship’s conduct.
VICTORY FOR SLUGGERS.
A Judge Decides That Prize Fight¬
ing is a Legitimate Business.
At New Orleans Tuesday morning
Judge Righter handed down the fol¬
lowing decision in the case of the state
vs. Olympic Club:
“I am called upon to interpret and
enforce act No. 25, of the statutes of
1890. The title of the act reads: ‘An
act defining the crime of prize fight¬
ing and to provide for the punishment
thereof in and out of the state of
Louisiana.’ The act embraces two
sections and a proviso, neither of the
sections defining the crime of prize
fighting, nor does the proviso tell us
what a glove contest is. The former
(not defined) is forbidden and punish¬
ed; the latter, under certain condi¬
tions, permitted and by implication
encouraged.
“Having, under instructions from
the supreme court, excluded all expert
testimony as to the distinction between
these differently designated methods
of pugilism, and referring only to the
facts proved in the one case and in
the other I find that a prize fight is a
glove contest without gloves, and that
a glove contest is a prize fight with
gloves. In each case, there is a duel
with fists, and there is a prize. In
each case, there is the same danger
to limb and life, the same maiming and
shedding of blood, the same brutality.
“I conclude, therefore, that the act
entitled, ‘An act defining the crime of
prize fighting and to provide for the
punishment thereof, in and out of the
state of Louisiana,’ is a piece of legis¬
lative fraud and mendacity. It neith¬
er defines the crime of prize fighting,
nor does it provide any penalty for
the same, which cannot be evaded by
the mockery of covering with the
gloves the hand of the gladiators.
That a glove contest is brutal and dan¬
gerous as a prize fight was clearly set¬
tled in the case of Lavigne vs. Andy
Bowen.
“On the whole, I find that a prize
fight in Louisiana is a glove contest,
and that a glove contest is a prize
fight. It logically follows, that, there
being no prohibition of glove contests
in this state, the same being legalized
and encouraged under certain condi¬
tions, which the prize fighter willingly
accepts, prize fighting is now, what it
never was before the enactment of
statute No. 25, of 1890, a legitimate
business and domestic industry, under
the special protection of the law,
while, before the passage of that stat¬
ute, it would constitute the crime of
assault and battery, and in some cases
of manslaughter.
