A question of some interest 1s likely to arise in connection with the collection of income tax from judges of United States courts. Some days ago Judge Hughes of the eastern judicial district of Virginia came to Washington and in discussing the income tax with friends said that he had already made his return, but it was exceed- ingly brief. He had stated simply that he had no income other than his salary as a United States judge, which, under the Constitution was exempt from the tax. The sections of the Constitution to which Judge Hughes referred pro- vides that the President of the United States and the judges of the United States courts shall receive for their serv- ices a compensation which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office. The Supreme Court has held in several cases that the imposition of a tax upon the office of the President of the United States and the judges of tha Su- preme Court and inferior courts of the United States is a diminution of the salary within the mearing of the Constitution if the act levying the tax was enacted dur- Ing the official term of the President or cf the judges affected thereby. If these de- cisions. remain undisturbed all United States judges, of which there are about one hundred, will be exempt from paying the income tax. The Tax in France. People who take exception to the income tax and the few internal revenue taxes im- posed in the United States may take some satisfaction in learning how much worse off are the French in this respect, as dis- closed in a report to the State Depart- ment by United States Consul Wiley at Bordeaux. He shows that every form of legal paper, cheques, notes and documents, bills of lading, even lithograph posters, must have a revenue stamp affixed. From thts source the treasury draws its prin- clpal revenue, amounting last year to $140,- 0v0,000. The spirit and wine tax amounted to $120,00U,00u, The custom house re- ceipts were $100,000,000; the tobacco, match- es, playing cards and other government monopolies, yielded $130,000,000. Sugar paid an internal revenue tax of .052 cents per pound—j29,000,000 in all. The land tax brought in $39,600,000, and personal prop- erty $28,000,000. If a clerk occupies a hall room, he pays a tax of $2 per annum,while his landlady not only has to pay for her poodle, but for every door and window in the house. As the treasury receives $12,- 000,000 per annum for windows alone, the architect who can design a house with the least possible amount of ventilation does the best busiress. If you own a horse, carriage, billiard table or bicycle, you are taxed—the government collects $6.400,000 annually for permitting such luxuries to exist, and a bill was recently introduced in the chambers to tax the wearing of cor- sets. Business licenses bring in $24,000,000 per annum. Expenditures in the Republic. As to the expenditures, the interest on the national debt is $270,000,000, and the main- tenance of the 680,000 men in the army, for which tha French are ruining them. selves, costs $130,000,000. The navy costs $50,000,000 each year, and it costs $12'000,000 io run the government match, tobacco and card factories, for individuals cannot make or sell these things. Salaries cost $2,600,000 for the president, senators and chambers, and the president’s salary alone is $240,000 per annum—nearly five times as-great as our own President's salary, and the French executive has @ seven years term. The ju- diciary costs $5,000,000, and as the state also pays the priests, $9,000,000 goes to that account. The foreign office and diplo- matic service costs $4,000,000, and when it comes to public works, not less than $40,- 000,000 is spent annually, making our rivers and harbors and public building appropria- tlons seem ridiculously small. There are many other items of expense, requiring the exercise of ingenuity to devise new taxes from time to time and how long the French can continue to support such an expensive establishment is a matter of speculation. ——_—__—_+ oe ---____. Defects ef Industrial Schools. “The Public School System and Its Rela- tion to the Industrial Problem” was the subject of the lecture and discussion at the School of Ethics yesterday. Commissioner of Education W. T. Harris presided, and opened the meeting with a short talk on the productive value of public school ed- ucation. The bureau of education, he said, had adi sed letters of inquiry to mai facturers throughout the country, asking their estimate of the value of the public school course to their employes. The re- plies showed that the common school course added an average of 25 per cent to the wages cf common labor. The high school, course added about 25 per cent more. Investigation showed that the ay- erage school life throughout the country was 43 yee of 200 actual school days. As to the actual productive work of the country, an investigation had been made, which showed an average of 40 cents’ pro- ducilve work each day for every man, wo- man and child in the nation. Dr. L. R. Klemm of the bureau of edu- cation followed, who took strong ground in criticism cf the optimistic view of our In- dustrial training system taken by Prof. MacAlister Wednesday. He thought the results insignificant in this direction in spite of the great expenditure of money by the nation, and spoke at considerable length on the superiority of the German echools in fitting their scholars for actual industrial life. —_——>—_—_ Confederate Veterans. The Confederate Veterans’ Association met last night at their hall, 910 Pennsyl- vania avenue, when the question of organ- izing the sons of veterans, which iad been postponed from the last assembly, was taken up. After an animated disoussion it was decided not to organize the juniors into a separate body, but to allow them to be- come associate members of the veteran so- ciety. Maj. Robt. Hunter urged that it would be better for both the old and the young to be joined into one band than to have them separate and distinct from the main branch. He was followed in the same strain by Messrs. B. Byrd Lewis, F. H. Mackay, A. @. Holland, A. M. Lambeth and Mills Dean. Speeches in oppcsition were made by Sam Blackwell, Dr. Whitt Hammitt, Mr. F, B. Storm, Capt. J, McHickey, Mr. Geo. Turber- ville and Capt. Thomas Garrett. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN West Washington M. E Ohurch and Its Troubles, Successful Benefit for Mt. Tabor Last Night—An Interesting Pro- gram—Other Notes. The West Georgetown M. E. Church was given no independent minister this year by the conference. The Rey. Mr. Stitt of Dumbarton was appointed to assume min- isyerial charge. This is the church that for some time has been struggling against many odds to preserve its individuality, but owing to lack of support has been all but abolished as a church. It being the property of the mother edifice here, Dum- barton, the trustees of the latter sold the Property recently to Mr. Columbus Thom- as. He has never been able to get posses- sion, however, owing to the ‘opposition of the very few who still cling to it. Accord- ingly Mr. Thomas has gone into court to legally dispossess the church people. The Rev. Mr. Black holds occasional services there. Mr. Stitt has as yet never occupied the pulpit. It is said that recently Mr. Black had but one attendant at a service. Mr. Thomas, as soon as he can get pos- session, intends to tear down the church and erect dwellings on the site. He has made hic first payment on the property. Twenty-four hundred dollars was the amount g:ven for it. The West George- town people refuse to give up the church on the ground that the title has never been vested in the Dumbarton Church, but is held by them as representatives of the con- gregation. Not until, they say, that serv- ices cease to be held do they lose their title to the property. The Dumbarton people long ago obtained quit claim deeds from the heirs of the original owner of the property, who con- veyed it for church purposes. Mt. Tabor Benefit. The Mt. Tabor benefit last night at Lin- thicum Hall was a striking success. The attendance was large and the program se- lect. There was music of many kinds, a varied assortment of instruments being in- troduced. The solos were appreciated high- ly by the audience, special care having been exercised in their selection. The “Ben Bolt” of Mr. Joseph C. Murray, Miss Barnes’ number from ‘‘Rob Roy” and Miss Helen Prentiss Donohue’s “He Told Me So,” Bischoff, were received with special favor. Miss Abbie Johnson’s “Natural Laughter” was one of the choice bits of the evening. Master George Hunt in his violin solo (prayer- and scene from the opera “‘Freishutz”) proved himself to be a musical prodigy with a probable future. His execution was acknowledged to be unusually fine and masterful for one so young. The comic solos of Mr. J. D. Cathell, the cornet solo of Mr. George H. Chandlee, the vocal solo of Miss Ruekhart, the instrumental work of Messrs. Todd, Koehl and Werley and the the fancy danc- ing of Miss Blanche Wise were other fea- tures of the evening that caught easily the appreciation of the audience. Mr. Aaron Stern's comic selections were happily chos- en and effectively presented. His imita- tions of famous actors have already made him well known throughout the city. The affair was participated in by the Linthicum Students. They presented one of their latest successes, with renewed success, Mr. Miller, Mr. Lowe, Mr. Balinger, Miss Dono- hue, Mr. Fleming and Mr. Potter assumed the parts with their usual excellence. “Where's My Hat,” a one-act farce, closed the program, with Mr. Will Lefft Johnson, Miss Abbie Johnson and Miss Marie Mc- Norton in the cast. Mr. Nathan Weill of the students managed the stage. The ar- rangement of the program was due to the work of Mrs. W. F. Hunt and Mrs. Theo. Barnes. Real Estate. Horace Jarboe, trustee, has deeded to David L. Reynolds part of lots 19 and 20, Beatty and Hawkins’ addition, being im- proved property on the south side of Stod- dert (Q) street near 32d. Percival Waters also yesterday deeded to Isabelle Weisel an undivided one-eighth interest in parts of lots 23 and 24, “Old Georgetown,” and parts of lots 78 and 79, Beatty and Haw- kins’ addition. Notes. At 10 o'clock this morning Father Barry, who ts visiting in his old parish at Tenley- town, offictated in St. Anne’s at the funeral of Mrs. Mary Brooks, who died at Fort Reno. The services were unusually im- pressive. The interment was at Holy Rood cemetery. Mr. B. T. Janney, the supervising princi- pal of the public schools here, is making up a party of twenty to take a European trip as soon as the present session is over. It is proposed to visit England, Scotland, Ireland, Belgium and France. _ The Georgetown College base ball season will open on the 20th. The game will be played on the college field, which has been made a model track on which to lay out the diamond. A big schedule is being pre- pared. The best college teams will be an- tagonized. The Lenten services at Trinity are of more than usual interest this year. Vari- ous fathers are taking charge. == DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Engineer Department Changes. The Commissioners yesterday accepted the resignation of John Bippus, chief in the record division of the engineer department, to take effect today. Daniel E. Garges, clerk in the surface division of the depart- ment, has been transferred to the position made vacant by Bippus’ resignation, at ‘a salary of $900 a year, and Robert Burr, formerly employed in the same depart ment, has beer. placed in Garges’ old posi- tion, at a salary of $3 a day. William M. Barton, chainman in the sewer division of the engineer department, has been appointed rodman, at a salary of 3780 a year, and Edward G. Emack has been advanced to Barton's position, at a salary of $2.25 a day. Work Ordered. Orders were issued yesterday by the Commissioners as follows: To lay 845 feet of six-inch water main in the south side of U street between 17th street and New Hampshire avenue; to abandon the public wells in the south side of F street south- west between 3d and 4% sirects, and at the corner of 444 and E streets southwest, and to replace them with public hydrants; to set new granite curbs and relay brick side- walks on Ist street southeast between D street and North Carolina avenue; to lay new boardwalks in Moore’s lane, 225 feet north, on the west side from Elm street; also on Dover street, Brookland, between i3th and lith streets, on the north side; to lay brick sidewalks {n front of certain lots on Park street between 16th and 17th streets; to lay brick sidewalks and set new granite curbs on Florida avenue between 19th and 20th streets; also on T street be- tween 1th street and Florida avenu on Fiorida avenue between “Cth stre Connecticut avenue.

Need of a Contagious Hospital. An incident occurred yesterday which still further accents the need for a conta- gious hospital. Health Officer Woodward made an application to Freedman’s Hosp!- tal for the admission of a child named Elizabeth Dawson, 1314 12th street, treatment for scarlet fever, but the ar cation was declined by Dr.’Daniel H. Hams, surgeon in charge. Dr. W wrote a letter to Dr. Wocdward, wh submitted to the Commissioners, fect that “this class of patien s ne been admitted to the Freedman’s Hospit: but that he had submitted the matter to the Secretary of the Interlor, and was awaiting his opinion. a For Dr. Bartlett's Successor. The committee appointed to recommend a successor to Rev. Dr. Bartlett, the late pastor of the New York Avenue Presbytor- fan Church, has decided to present to the congregation the name cf Rev. W. W. Rad- cliffe, D. D., of Detroit, Mich. A dispatch from Detroit states that Dr. Radcliffe has the matter under advisement. and — eo? PUT IN PLAIN ENGLISH An Authority on tributes to the Knowledge. The most famous American authority on the weather recently said: “The fatality (after the grip) 1s most marked when the humidity is at {ts maximum and there is a sudden fall of tem- perature.” That means in plain English that ecnsequences of grip are most deadly when dampness 1s followed by sudden cold. How often such @ condition of weather has prevailed this Winter is shown by the official statistics of grip. Prudent pecple know how to strengthen them- selves after the grip. ‘They will observe the usual precauticn necessary in our fickle winter, and they will promptly correct any bodily ail- ment, no matter how small it is. A trifling chill, & cough and fugitive aches in the back and sboul- ders linger long, sometimes, after an attack of grip. They will not be followed by permanent weak- ness if the body 1s warmed and all tts latent enr- gies are roused by that best of all stimulants, Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. Skin, lungs, stomach and bowels are quick to feel the good effects of this whiskey. Those who have been stricken by the grip remember how this stimulant has turned them on the road to health. It is the crowning merit of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey that it puts the body tn a state of de- fense.

John F. Victory, secretary of the Na- tonal Association of Letter Carriers, has denied that a ccembination of postal em- ployes has been formed for the purpose of bringing pressure upon Congress to over- turn any rules or regulations of the Post Office Department or for the purpose of lobbying through Congress legislation de- signed for their interests. Mr. Victory has made the follcwing statement in behaif of those he represents: “The only possible foundation the re- port can have is in the fact that Con- gress in its closing hours modified a recent departmertal rule requiring that railway postal clerks should reside on the line of their runs. This was done by an amend- ment to the pest office appropriation bill. The departmert resented congressional in- terference with what it considers its pre- rogative by recalling all passes issued to such clerks on lines beyond their own runs. This action was severely criticised by a paper claiming to represent the rail- way postal clerks, which advised the clerks to deal directly with Congress in the fu- ture in all proposed legislation relating to their interests. The fact that Congressman Linton of Michigan, in the last hours of Congress, introduced what has been call- ed an omnibus bill, which the railway pos- tal clerks, the post office clerks and the letter carriers have for five years labored to have made iaws, may have had some- thing to do with the matter. Indorsed by the Postmaster General. “The claims of both groups of clerks have been indorsed by Postmaster General Bis- sell in two annual reports. Congressman Linton, ex-Cor.gressman Henderson, chair- man of the committee on post office and post roads in the last Congress, and many other friends of the clerks and carriers, ad- vised the representatives of the latter to pool their issues—to have their claims em- bodied in one bill, which would: receive their united support in the next Congress. ‘The proposition will be acted upon at the forthcoming conventions of the different associations of postal employes. That pos- tal employes should conspire to demoralize the service in which they are employed is preposterous, and whether the omnibus bill shall be reintroduced into the next Con- gress with their consent cannot be known until after the conventions referred to are held. Postal employes in the future, as in the past, relying on the Justice of their claims, will respectfully and persistently petition Congress. They know as most peo- ple shouid know that but little legislation is enacted simply on its merits. If in ex- ercising their right of petition they are engaged in a conspiracy, then it can be said they have been so occupied for years in securing the eight-hour and other laws. Hardest Worked and Poorest Paid. “The post office employes referred to are the ‘hardest worked and poorest paid of any of the government’s servants. The av- erage salary of a post office clerk is less than $900 per annum. There are those in the service who receive only $400 per year. The average salary of the letter carrier is $907, and the average salary of railway pos- tal clerks is less than $1,000. “The right of postal clerks to ask Uncle Sam for an increase in their wages can- not in these days be dented nor infringed upon.” OVER WASHINGTON REAL ESTATE. A Decision in New York in the Bate- man Syndicate Case. Samuel H. Arnold, the referee appointed by the Supreme Court in December, 1892, to determine an action brought by Charles A. Spalding against Arthur E. Bateman, Douglass Green, John A. Garvey, their as- signee, George R. Sheldon, individually and as trustee, and William W. Mackall, for an accounting of the proceeds of a syndicate speculation in real estate near Washington, has filed a report at New York in favor of the plaintiff. Dougiass Green, it is alleged, procured Henry Green to take title to a plece of property in the District of Columbia and got Spalding, Garvey, Durand and Sheldon to join In the speculation with himself and his partner, Bateman, Green, it is stated, represented that the price of the property was $27,000, when, in fact, it was only $15,000, and that the pur- chase would require $13,000 in cash, the bal- ance to remain out on mortgage. Du a ibuted $3,000; Sheldon, $2,000; Spalding, was put down for 3, that the five should share pr a the proat or loss.
