"No." Abdul Kahaman had retorted, in a sudden tit of fury, which was more horrible than Ills gibe at English de cency, "no niggers. Black niggers." And he struck his wife across the mouth with his open hand. At that moment Mrs. Kahaman’s world shivered to Its sorry founda tions, but to Abdul Kubamau esiue the llendlsh consciousness that, tor the first time in bis life, he had struck one of the whlte-sktuned, conquering English, and with impunity.

Probably Its destina tion would have been the bottom of the river, sealed in an air-tight cover, had Abdul Kahaman not forsaken the way of his fathers in his youth, to marry a white skinned woman and study law' In English colleges, but, having done these things, there was so much the greater necessity for proving himself scrupulously unswerv ing to his fellow conspirators, oven when the housing of wicked little black boxes was concerned. The servant who awakened Abdul Rahaman the next morning was piec ing together many extraordinary mat ters In his dwn mind. These were Mem Sahib’s empty room, the ab sence of the little chattering Miss Sa hib, and the great disorder of the Sahib's own study, yet his brown sac was perfectly undisturbed as he an nounced "Bath ready, Huzonr." But Abdul Rahaman's first glance at his disordered study brought more than dismay Into his eyes; and when he found the traitorius little black box unlocked and Its key lying on the floor, fear, sudden und choking, snatched for a moment all strength und breath from him. For the first time tho utmost significance of sen tences sentences so confidingly writ ten and complacently worded—flash ed into his mind with terrifying sin cerity. And there were those lists of things to be done —and people to do them. Abdul Rahaman turned to the little black box In a fury of despera tion and tumbled whnt reinaiued of Its secrets out onto the floor. But he found no comfort In the scattered pa pers. Everything which mattered was gone, even—and he groaned aloud at the discovery—the letters written by Hosmun All regarding the giving of Ills young daughter In marriage to Abdul Rahaman If the English wife were established elsewhere. Abdul Rahaman had shrunken like an old man by the time he turned from re locking the little box and opened the doors of hls wife's room. Its blackness drove his fears into sickening certainty. In his mind was no doubt that the English woman had denounced him to government and his Imagination pictured the incensed law hauling bis body off to the direst pains and penalties. At the thought of all that there was of courage, in herited from past generations of war rior ancestors, fled from the spirit of Abdul Rahaman and he turned from hls home and slipped into the Crowd ed babbling streets of India’s capital. But hls security lasted little more than a week, for on one feast morn ing in Benares City, an elderly ser geant of police tapped Abdul Raha nian on the shoulder as he stopped to replace hls shoes after prayer, and he requested that he accompany him to a superior officer. After the first start of alarm Abdul Rahaman recog nixed the uselessness of a refusal. "It la the will of Allah," he mut tered, for during the past week he had turned nguln to the god of hls fathers, beating hls brest and wor shiping amongst the humblest In tho temples es his faith. The commis sioner of police received him affably. There were orders, he said, that the lieutenant governor of Bengal was anxious to interview Mr. Rahaman In regard to certain Information, Would Mr. Rahatnan accept a police escort to Calcutta for his own safety's sake? And would Mr. Rahaman bo ready to proceed to the capital by the afternoon's mall? Mr Rahaman was too bewildered to question any suggestions and left Benares City In the mall train, muttering "Kismet, all is the will of Allah." while the commissioner of police bowed polite ly from the platform. The lieutenant governor received Abdul Rahaman with Impressive pleasantness “1 congratulate you, Mr. Rahaman. on your great loyalty and discretion," said hla honor. “The Information sent by you has proved of supreme Importance, of supreme Importance. I repeat, of absolutely supreme importance. Your great aer vjecs will assuredly not go unre warded. 1 myself will see to It. 1 think a district magistrate's appoint ment say in Assam—yes, yes—per haps la Assam" —said hls honor vaguely, and affably bowed tho be. w ilderod man from hla presence.

The publi cation Saturday over the country of the Introduction of Representative Murdock of Kansas, of,a bill to call upon the twenty-six states Co repay to I the government $28,000,000 which 1 was distributed during Andrew Jack son’s administration was followed im mediately with a flood of telegrams upon members, senators and news paper correspondents for more light o nthe subject. "I introduced that bill two years ago,” said Mr. Murdock late Satur day "and no one paid any attention to it.” In 1836, there was a surplus in the federal treasury of $38,000,000 due largely to the sale of public land in the central west. Congress authoriz ed the distribution among the states upon their promising to repay it upon d'-mand of the secretary of the treasury. After $28,000,000 had been distributed, but before the fourth in cstallment bad been paid congress passed another law, postponing pav niont of the final installment and in corporating as a “joker” a proviso that the money distributed should be subject to the demand of congress instead of the secretary of the treas ury. It is said that the matter of the repayment was called to Mr. Mur dock’s attention by the claim of Vir ginia few years ago to the fourth in stalment, still undistributed. The twenty-six states received tho three installments, in proportion to their representation in congress. The distribution among southern states was as follows: Maryland $956,000; Virginia $2,- 199,000;; North Carolina $1,444,000: South Carolina $1,051,000: Georgia $1,051,000; Alabama $669,000; Louis iana $478,000; Mississippi $382,000; Tennessee $1,434,000; Kentucky sl,- 434,000; Missouri $328,000, Arkansas $287,000.

Accompanying him from Norfolk, where he has been attending the celebration attendant upon the formal opening of the road, were "Mark Twain" and many of his New York guests Rogers is on an inspection tour of the line.

Recklessly he gave the driver of his ticca gharry tho address of the jasmin-wreathed house. On the steps stood Mrs. Raha man smiling, triumphant “Did you see the lieutenant gov ernor?" she queried. “Where are my papers?” a&id Ab dul Rahaman heavily. “Some are In the bank,” answered Mrs. Rahaman significantly, "and I gave the others to the governor’s secretary. Such a nice, sympathetic young man," she added maliciously. ' 1 don’t understand,” said the man spiritlessly. "Oh, I managed very well,” she an swered with complaisance. The sec retary said it might even mean a Judgeship for you. There Is nothing to be afraid of. Your name was not on any of the papers I gave him— those are in the bank. And the gov ernment think very highly of you in deed," Abdul Rahaman moved a few steps Indoors and then, stricken by another thought, stopped, "and tny brethren?” he asked. "What of them?” Truly government, sanction had made Mrs. Rahaman very bold, for she smiled a little, as she answered: "They—oh, they will probably poison you if they are not sent to Burma.” And Abdul Rahaman did not at tempt to dispute her words, but walk ed indoors, a broken man. whose only comfort was to remember that I Kismet was the will of Allah.

Wright Says that They Must Be Changed to be More Uni form and Fair. Special to The Herald. ATLANTA, Ga. —A condition in the ! revenues of the state that calls for hedging on expenses during the com ing year is given due by Comp troller General Wright in his annual report, proofs of which have just i come from the press. To this financial condition and to some greatly needed changes in the laws governing insurance business in Georgia, the report of the comptrol ler is almost wholly directed. "From the foregoing figures,” says the report, "showing the condition of the state’s finances, it will be observ ed that notwithstanding the loss of $240,000 of revenue from the tax on liquor dealers, the condition of the treasury on January 1, 1909, was prac tically as it was on the corresponding Uat«* in 1905.” The comptroller be lieves this was made possible by tho abnormal increase in taxable values as well as increase of revenue from special or occupation taxes or other sources. This abnormal increase, he said, cannot reasonably be expected to continue growing, and he doubts if it will be possible to meet the 1909 appropriations even with a temporary loan of the $200,000 authorized by law. Appropriations, he shys, must be held down in future till our re venue is increased from other than present sources. He says that rnoro revenue can be raised by taxing oc cupations not onw touched, and sug gests an inheritance tax such as is imposed in many of the states. School Appropriation. He says that to relieve the annual embarrassment the stale experiences in meeting promptly its school ap propriation, which in 1909 will be $2,- 250,000, the legislature should provide a sinking or surplus fund from taxes on the taxable property of the state in excess of the present assessment of $705,382,425. He submits a tabulated statement showing how the assessments of the taxable property of the state have increased since 1880, the first year of his administration of the affairs of the office. The statement shows that in 1880 the property on the di gest was assessed at $238,934,120, and in 1908 it nad grown to $584,1y2,197. Notwithstanding the marvelous in crease shown, he observes, the tax rate has not correspondingly de creased, but on the contrary has in creased until with 300 per cent in creased valuations we have a tax rate reaching the constitutional limit of one-half of one per cent. We may expect $175,000 from tho near-beer tax in 1909, says the comp troller. This tax amounted to $19,- 100 in 1908. He says that an evident oversight in the near-beer tax law should bo attended to by making provision for the compensation of ordinaries for collecting the tax. He further advo cates an appropriation of sufficient money from the fund to pay commis sions on collections they have already made. He believes, too, that the tax should be made payable to the coun ty tax collectors instead of to the ordinaries. Colored Taxpayers. He submits a statement of property returned for taxation by colored tax payers from 1880 to date, showing that in 1880 the colored citizens of the state paid taxes on a property valuation of $5,764,293, whereas in 1908 the valuation had swelled to $27,- 042,672. He tabulated other chief Items of property in Georgia, show ing that real estate town and city valuatlonn have Increased from forty, nine million In 1880 to 177 million in 1908; lands, wild and Improved, from 90 million in 18S0 to 171 million In 1908; cotton factories, from $1,640,- 000 to $34,925,100; bank capital, from $4,667,567 to $30,224,389; and railroad and other corporation property, from $9,866,129, to $121,183,228. He says that the tax laws of the state need to be thoroughly amended to make them uniform and fair. Some method, he says, is necessary by which the invisible personal property (so to term it) such as notes, mort gages, stocks and bonds, etc., can be placed on the tax books. Under the present system only a small part of 1 this valuable property is returned for : taxation. Revision Needed. A thorough revision of the entire j system of the state's supervision of j the insurance business is imperative -1 ly needed. The powers of the insurance com missioner (comptroller general, ex j official should be extended to author ize annual examlnationß of the as- I fairs of insurance companies, and examinations at other times when ever considered necessa“y. The scope of the commissioner’s authority, he says, should not be limited to a mere investigation of the company’s solv ency. as is the case now, but should be extended to empower tho comrnU- I sioner to inquire into tho honesty and | intelligence of the management of | the company's affairs. The commis sioner should also be clothed with au -1 thority to refuse licenses to insurance companies or revoke them whenever it is found that the management of any company is dishonest o* fraudu lent. Assessment Laws Inadequate. The laws governing co-operative or assessment companies have proved Inadequate, be says, for the protec tion of the insurers in them, and need amendment. All of these companies, he believes, not purely local In the | county where they are* organized, should be required to deposit $lO,- COO with the state treasurer or sure ty company in such surety as may be . approved by the insurance commie , sioner. j "In many lnstancei, - * he says, "ut- MUGHITY AGREE mm TIFF House Will Hold General Debate on the Tariff Bill At Meeting Monday. WASHINGTON. —Fearing that the demands which they have made for an opportunity to vote on some of 1 the principal schedules in the Payne tariff bill, might result in changes which they consider more disadvan tageous than the provisions now in the bil, nearly thirty republican mejh bers of the house met Saturday and agreed upon the changes which they desire to have submitted in the form of committee amendments. At the same time a meeting of all the members of the ways and means committee was in progress to pass upon the amendments which the sub committee of republican members had submitted. There are about fifty or sixty of them which the commit tee will report, including the striking ■out of the countervailing provision for coffee and the duty on tea. Inferring that they would vote against any rule to restrict amend ments to the Payne bill unless the changes tney desire are provided for by the ways and means committee, the republicans who met today de cided to send the following petition to Chairman Payne: “Xo the republican members of the ways and means committee: “The undersigned reqeust your committee to present the following committee amendments to the Payne tariff bill: “An amendment providing for a duty of of forty-five cents a ton of 2,000 pounds on coal and striking out the provision for reciprocity. “For a duty of 25 cents a ton on iron ore. “For a duty of $3 a ton on pig iron and scrap iron. “For a duty of 10 per cent on hides. “The amendment to the lumber schedule to be confined to the pro. viso. “A rule which will provide for the above win receive our support.” It was claimed by the leaders of the movement that fully fifty signa tures of republiehn members would be subscribed to the petition by Mon day. Representative Hughes, of West Virginia, presided over the meeting of republicans. It was de cided that the best way in which to bring about the changes desired was : to have the rule that is to he brought !in on Monday restrict amendments ito those which the ways and means | committee will report, and have that j committee include the five amend } ments asked for In the petition. The speakers at the night session were; Heim, Alabama; Saunders, Vir ginia; Collier, Mississippi; Foster, Illinois; Sturgis, West Virginia; Gregg, Texas; Gordon, Tennessee; iLever, South Carolina; Maguire, Ne braska; Moss, Indiana; and Fish, New York. Continuing under the rule adopted [ Monday for general debate on the tariff bill the house adjourned until [Monday at 10:45 o’clock. Why Is Sugar Sweet?

Defective in many respects are tho life insurance laws, also, he says. The insurance department should he clothed with wide discretionary pow ers in handling life insu-ance mat ters. The marvelous growth of the insurance business in Georgia during the last 20 vears. the premium re ceipts being $8,168,084.90 in 1908, in dicates the increasing popularity of life insurance In this state. This condition of the public favor, he says, has encouraged the organization of quite a number of mutual and co operative or assessment companies. These have In many cases, he says, with no capital stock to support them until their income was sufficient to take care of their expenses, been compelled "to adopt methods the wis dom of which at least has not been without criticism." All surety companies alike, he says, should be required lo make deposits : covering the bonds they furnish. There is no raason why only thoso furnishing offioial bonds of the state, counties, or municipalities, should he required to make this deposit. He recommends that the license fee of $lO for fraternal beneficiary organizations be increased. All of these recommendations, sug gestions and comments made by the comptroller general see the big ques tions of revenue and insurance from the standpoint of the taxpayers and polioy-holders of Georgia. He says that whatever tax may be applied to insurance companies the policy holders must pay it In the end, just as the buyer of any artlote of merchandise pays all costs on that ' article In addition to the profit. The j fax laws of Georgia, he says, are al , most discriminatory against Georgia i companies, “though Georgta in other i respects offers superior Inducements 1 for the investment of capital in this class of business. He points to the > fact that Atlanta is the biggest insur i ance center south of »sw York. MONDAY, APRIL 5 ANOTHER WOMAN CURED By Lydia E.
