Into a law. It will constitute a complete
readjustment of France’s fiscal system.
The old door, window, .poll and other
direct 'taxes are to be replaced /by .a
system based upon Incomes. ’ 'Day la
borers are practically exempted. The
tax upon Incomes above 31,000 a year .
Is made progressive uj> to four per cent j
of the toaal. Even Government rents, J
excepting those held abroad., only nom
inally escape, the coupons themselves
being exempt but the revenue there
from being taxed when the total In- i
cobie of the bolder exceeds the mini
mum laid down. French savings are
largely Invested in rents. The burdens
placed upon foreign securities, both
private and governmental, constitute a
particularly heavy blow to Russ’an se
curities. of which It Is estimated that
from 38.000,000 to $10,000,000 are held
In France.

brown eyes looked through long black
lashes: the brows were symmetrically
• arched. With the sympathy-impelling
story of the girl, the girlish fascination
, of a voice of softest quality, yet ring
ing clear in enunciation, the court room
lost view of the prisoner. But when
there came a halt in the girl’s fight
against the tears, the people who had
gazed unceasingly at her, lowered their
eyes, as if the relief from their stare

Thus Thaw sat for many minutes, and
when he finally lifted his head his eyes

Thaw’s Letter to Longfellow.
The letter addressed to Attorney
Longfellow and which was offered to
day as tending to show- Thaw’s frame
of mind, was as follows:
■ "Mrs. N. Insisted sailing New York,
when her daughter left. I kept Mrs.
N. in London three months, cost over
31.000. Mrs. Nesbit sails tomorrow for
New York. Site thinks I kidnapped her
17% year old daughter. Before she
lands she will know that I have always
done the best I could. The child can
not be with her mother because when
she was ir,Si years old she Was ruined
by a blackguard. Don’t worry, but
find out her address. Telephone Airs.
N.. but not in your name. Ask her if
she saw Air. Thaw on board. As soon
as she answers, hkng up the ’phone."
On a slip of paper inclosed was writ
ten: “If you can’t:{read this don’t wor-,
ry. Telephone her-incog and wire me
at my expense.”
The letter was signed “H. K. T.”
Another letter began “Sir Longfel
low.” and said, among other things:
“Evelyn has left me six or seven let
ters and telegrams from tho black
guard. If they wish to begin a row, I
am ready for it. • I prefer to reach New
A’ork so. as to go to Philadelphia and
Pittsburg and then. to Port Huron in
time for the wedding on November 18.
I would, .return to New York In time to
meet the L?dy .Yarmouth who lands on
the 24th. The merpier the better. We
may be .married after the Lady Yar
mouth arrives, may he after the row.
Her mother don’t count. ‘The matter
of being married is. most secret.’ ” The
letter continued: •
Need Staffs of Reporters.
"If the suit for kidnapping is begun,
it must not be mentioned, but we will
need two staff? of reporters. Yon get
one staff arid I know the kind I want
and will secure, them when I land.”
The letter constantly referred to
“that -blackguard,” and said “Miss N.
wan'd give 'all she possesses if she
could have heen sent to school by me

remained on ..the stage ro lone If thev

ATLANTA, Ga.. Feb. 7.—President M.
L. Johnson, of the Georgia division.
Southern Cotton Association, issues an
interestin'- statement, this week regard-,
ing conditions in the cotton marltej. Pres
ident Johnson says: .
“Let me call the attention of Georgians
to some quotations from the market pages
of our daily papers, and let me beg of
you to give them some thought.
“In the first place, lev me recall the fact
that I have insisted throughout the sea
son that our best brade of cotton should
bring not iess than 12% cents; it has
heen and is now worth every cent of it.
It Is worth it either from the standpoint
of the growers, from that of supply and
demand, from the price at which goods
are selling, or from the profits which tho
mills are milking.
"Note the following from a recent issue
of the New York Commercial:
“ ‘The day of settlement between the
mills and spot dealers has been postponed
from month to month through the cour
tesy of the mills, but there will be a day
of settlement sometime.’
“Isn’t there evidence of agreement or
combination there? Combination, too.
which is not in the interest of the grow
er?
"You all know how daily attention has
been called to heavy receipts with a view j
to ‘bearing’ the market. One market
writer puts It in this sensible and rea
sonable way: ‘The cotton would not be
moving had it not been sold, and there
fore heavy receipts, at the ports is a bull
ish feature frpm a consumptive point of
view, as the cotton arriving at these
ports is on the way to the mills, domestic
and foreign, particularly the latter.’
"Is it not also evidence of the most
rapid marketing of the crop arid that the
stock of raw material in the interior is
rapidly exhausting? And what will you
say to this from another published itiar-
ket report: -
“ ‘The dry goods market was very
strong today. Fruit of the Loom and
other ticketed sheetings were advanced
half a cent a yard today.’
“Does not that touch every consumer's
nocket? Cotton declined 1-16 of a cent
one day last week. What was the cause
Corn was unchanged and oats gained | recent buyers checked the upward
% of a cent.
