To the Editor of The Evening Si ars As @ lover of song birds I beg a small ce in your valuable paper for the pur- pose of calling attention to a species of cruelty that is being constantly, though un- intentionally, practiced by ladies who keep canaries. During the present intense heat I have been frequently pained by seeing 3 canary birds hung up in their brass in the blazing sunshine. To keep birds for two or three hours exposed to the rays of the sun when the thenmometer stands at eighty or ninety degrees is sim- ply to shorten their lives. All birds love to sport in the sunshine, but it is con- trary to common sense to expect a caged bird to be healthy after a continupus sun bath of six or eight hours. If ladies de- sire that their pets may enjoy the sun in a natural way let them cut a round cover of green paper with a hole in the middle and place it on the top of the cage, the little creature may have a shade when- ever it wishes to rest. The best plan {s to put the bird out in the early morning sun- shine, but by 11 o'clock the cage should be withdrawn to the shade behind the win- dow blinds. You might as well wrap a child in @ blanket and send it out to play in the hot street as to keep a canary bird in the sun all day. Ze ——EE The Brahmin Lecturer, Mr. Prabala Ramachandrayya, the con- verted Brahmin, who has been delivering a number of free lectures on India at the Luther Place Memorial Church, will con- clude the course this evening. His subject will be ‘‘Civilizations, Eastern and Western Compared.” At the conclusion of the lec- aay last Monday Mr. Rama was presented with a handsome gold watch, as a mark of appreciation on behalf of the congregation, ent INCOME TAX RETURNS They Will Be Safely Kept Until Action is Taken by-Congress, The Commissioner Will Advocate Their Destruction—The Money Paid in to Be Returned. Numerous applications have been made to the commissioner of internal revenue for the restoration of the returns of incomes, personal and corporate, made prior to the discovery that the ittcome tax statute was void and of no effect. The commissioner will not comply with these requests, how- ever. He takes the ground that he has no power to dispose of these returns, under existing laws, and will hold them inviolate as other secret records until Congress shall provide for their disposition. He favors their complete destruction, and will so recommend to Congress, through the Sec- retary of the Treasury, but will keep them intact until Congress passes upon the question. In the event that the legislative body decides that they should be restored to their makers, the commissioner says, he will be fully prepared to return them. Will Be Securely Kept. Meanwhile they will be securely kept in a burglar-proof, fire-proof vault in his of- fice, entirely safe from all prying persons who might possibly make improper use of a knowledge of their contents, Under in- structions issued by the commissioner the day after thp Supreme Court declared the income tax law unconstitutional all the returrs ef income and all books and pa- pers relating to the income tax were at once forwarded by the internal revenue collectors to the bureau at Washington. ‘They were put under lock and key, so that now there is not a scrap of official in- formation as to the incomes of individuals or corporations in the office of any of the collectors or anywhere else outside of the commissioner’s office. 3 These sacred documents have been placed under the personal supervision of the chief of the income tax division of the internal revenue bureau, which official has been specially enjoined to, exercise great care in their preservation and secrecy. Money Paid In. About $90,000 was paid into the treas- ury on account of the tax before it was judicially declared that there was no legal authority for Its collection. The Secretary of the Treasury has decided to refund this Juals by whom it was is for specific con- but details of the ements for this refund have not yet n completed. It is believed, however, that there will be no great delay in this matter ard that the entire amount paid in will be restored to its rightful owners in a short time. —_—____+-e-_____ ELECTRIC E TED ROAD. money to the indiv paid without wai! sional authority om of the Chicago Successful Operat Syst Chicago is greatly pleased over the suc- cessful running of its new electric elevated line, which last week added its Logan Square branch to the portion already in ac- tive operation. z The line is remarkable in several ways. In the first place, it is the pioneer success- ful attempt to apply elgetricity to an ele- vated system. ys) ‘The current is taken fom a special third rail, and runs by th? Tefular rajls back to the power house—the same tem as that used on the world’s fair grounds. The power house, situdfed back of Throop street, is a sive structure ‘ith a capacious 150-foot iron chimney that towers over the surrounding-building: From the power station the current, which has an intensity 6f 500 volts, and a present maximum of 6,00 _horse-power volume, runs through héavy feeder cables to the lateral third rail with which the troliey shee connects. This rail is set on a heavy timber that has been rendered impervious to rain by application of par- ailine, thus guarding against short-circuits water. The top ef the rail is elevated at above the level of the regular ice rails, and the Contact shoe or trol- iey slides along upon the top of the rail. ‘This shoe is the invention of Superintend- Baker, though it now belongs to the Gereral Electric Company, like all the ether appliances used in this system. It hangs from an oaken beam extending from the side of the truck. The shoe is suspended by means of links, which allow it to accom- modate itself to any unevenness in the feeder rail or in the track. Each motor truck is equipped with two of these pro- jecting shoes, one on each side, one being for use on the down-town trip, and the other on the up-town trip. The road has no loops at the terminals, hence the motor cars have to be double-headers, with mo- torman’s compartments at each end, though the two motors are both at the one end. The motors each nave a capacity of 150 horse powe' hese are sufficient to run the present trains—motor car and three i t a rate of forty miles an hour Ultimately, the trains are to be made up with five: trailers, when two ad- ditional motors will be put in at the other end of the motor car. ——— +e TO ACTOR COULDOCK. GIVEN Over $6,000 Realized From Saturday Misht's Benefit. For the benefit of the actor, Charles M.

Mr. Jos¢ph Brooks t on the stage after the first act and ed Mr. Jefferscn and his associates $100,000 for a twenty-weeks’ tour with “The Rivals.” He refused to repeat the answer he received. g The receipts from the sale of tickets were 5,869. ‘This money, with the amount ob- tained from the salé of souvenirs, will yell the totad to considerably more than $6,000, Mr. Joseph Brocks said that ar- .rangements had been made by the commit- harge ot the benefit by which an an- me of $1,200 will be secured to Mr. tee inc! nual in Couidock.

Millan Of tHe District bar was stmaster. The first toast the chapter drank in a body standmg and in silence. It was to the expression of sympathy and regret at the sad accident which lately be- fell’ one of their mambgrs, and who was unable to be present—Capt. J. M. Cabell of the U.S. A. Afte inking of this silent toast the chapters were seated and spent a few momews in quiet reflection, when the regular toasts,were taken up, as follows: Crimson and ‘gold, N.

The Langdon Industrial Prizes, Andrew Langdon, president of the Buifalo Historical Society, has founded three prizes; first for the best work in the car- penter’s shop; second, for the best work in the tin shop, and third, for the best work in the sewing room in Howard University, The following students won these prizes for 1895: In carpenter's shop, J.

The prizes were $10 each, and were presented by President Rankin commencement night. s of the Kappa Alpha College Fra- ghtful banquet ev at the THE DEBT STATEMENT. Estimate of the Deficiency at the . Close of the Fiscal®Year. The public debt statement for May shows the debt of the United States June 1, less cash in the treasury, to have been $912,363,- 292, or $5,386,611 less than on April 20. The cash in the treasury Is classified as follows: Gold, $147,690,977; silver, $51,582,650; paper, $121,716,406; bonds, disbursing officers’ bal- ances, ete., $16,483,720; against which there are demand liabilities amounting to $612,- 103,654, leaving a cash balance in the treas- ury of $185,370,100. The total receipts for May were $25,272,- 078, as against $23,060,994 for May, 1894. The receipts for the eleven months of the present fiscal year are $287,604,681, aguinst $270,474,410 for the same period last year. The disbursements for the last month amount to $28,558,213, which makes the deficit for the month $3,286,135, and for the eleven months, $46,757,495. ‘Treasury officials are now confident that the close of the fiscal year, one month hence, will show a deficit of not more than $44,000,000, and possibly not more than $4%,- 000,000, which is at least $5,000,000 less than was predicted only a few weeks ago, and _ $3,000,0900 or $4,000,000 less than the present figures. It is shown that the pen- sion payments during June will be at least $2,500,000 less than for May, and that the payments on account of interest will also be reduced $1,500,000. With an_ increase from internal revenue of $2,000,000, on ac- count of receipts from spegial liauor, to- bacco and oleomargarine licensos, which must be paid before July 1, and very ma- terial reductions in pension and interest payments, it is confidentiy expected that next month will show a small surplus, with the deficit further reduced to at least $44,- 000,000. The month of July, however, is likely to see the deficit increased by at least $10,000,000, a3 that month's interest Payments will aggregate about $7,060,000. Disbursements in avery branch of the gov- ernment are usually much heavier in July than In any other month, so that, without the receipts are sreatly increased, the de- ficit on August 1 next will not likely fall much short of $55,000,000 for the thirteen months. + +—______ POLLING CONGRESS. The Result of a Newspaper Canvass on Some Lending Issues. The New York World sent last Friday to each Senator and Representative whose address could be ascertained a telegraphic request for answers to the following ques- tions: Do you favor single gold standard or free coihage? Do you faver further tariff changes? Do you favor principle of income tax? Yesterday the World printed replies from about one-half the members of the next Congress. In a general way it may be said that out of 116 members who gave unequivocal an- Swers to the sil€er question, are un- qualifiedly in favor of free coinage, 44 fa- vor bimetallism, generally with the proviso ef an international agreement. Only 17 can fairly be classed as favoring a single gold standard, and the attitude of some of these, even, is not definite. The southern and far western states are almost unani- mous for ‘ree coinage, the central states Jean toward silv with international bi- metallic ualifications, and it is only in New York, New England and adjacent eastern states that there are any avowedly gold standard men, An unexpected and unpleasant possibility of renewed tariff agitation is apparent in the replies to the question as to further changes in the tariff. Only 28 members are inst all change, while 35 favor mod- erate changes and 3S are pr anced for radical changes. The moderates are chiefly those who think changes will be necessary in_order to increase revenues. The income -tax question brought out many answers. Forty-nine Congressmen say that they favor the principle of the tax. Fcrty-seven oppose it. A great many evaded the question or failed to answer it. Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Mississippi, Montana, Ne- vada, North Carolina,South’ Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington and Wyom- ing were solid for silver, so far as heard from. The dimetallists are chiefly in Delaware, Georgia, Mlinois, Indiana, Towa, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia New York, Rhode Island, have th Jersey, Pennsylvania, achusetts and Vermont Id advocates. Arkansas, Texas, the Caro- s, Georgia, Loutsiana and’ most of the other southern states are solid for the in- New York and the east gener- e it. Elsewhere the division is nearly even. ee RUSHING WALL OF WATER. A Nebraska Lak Suddenly Down Medicine Valley. Curtis lake, in Nebraska, has burst its banks the railroad grade is torn up; freight cars are strewn across the Medicine bottom and five roller mills are ruined. Curtis lake is nearly empty, and a flood of water {s running down Medicine valley, carrying destruction and probable death in its path. Four of the five tracks beside Sweeps the main tine ure torn up and gone, while a train of fre inging in the food. : twenty thousand dollars’ damage has al- been done at Cur The fine alfalfa dows just beiow the city are ruined and homes all along the valley destroyed. News from above and below, as it comes in, tells of dire deswruction, loss of prop- erty and live stocic swept away. The Medicine valley is Jensely populated, and fears are entertained that loss of life will be heavy. The wali of water is fifty high and several hundred yards wide. The New Salute at the Naval Academy To the Editor of The Evening Star: There is little doubt that inconsistency is at times wiser than consisteney, and in flowing out a well-defined policy it is probably impossible, and certainly foolish, to be strictly consistent, yet it is a quality that is much liked, and by no class of men more than by the “blue jackets,” or sea- men, of the United States navy. For this reason it is held up to naval cadets as the virtue of all others to cultivate, so when a glaring inconsistency is forced under their notice the example may not be alto- Bether good. It is probable that this fact makes St more unpleasant for the authorities at the United States Naval Academy to cari out a reform that is, both there and else where, considered unnecessary, unplea: ant, foreign, discourteous, and, in the cas of the naval who are at the habit- advised in the last degre ement of reformation is al- ways attended with a certain icss of com- fort and popularity, so that the author- ities at the Na adefny are doubtless quite willing, by their interpretation of a paragraph of the navy regulations, to add S to their burdens a charge of utter incon- sistency. The matter referred to is the order, so interpreted, that officer ing and cadets meet- ladies of their acqua r caps, but give a forms se offered by the authoriti this interpretation is that this stiff, mili- tary salute is the only one allowed by the ravy regulations. Now if these gentlemen 70 unlucky as to be placed in situ- quiring them to enforce such an ous regulation (although it was not tten with any intention of being dis- torted to its present meanings) will trouble themselves to read over that page again they will see that their actions need a further mcdification. United States navy regulation, page 30, par. 101, “The salute for all officers and men in uniform or not, when not under arms, shall bo that prescribed in the instructions for infantr: This will be found on page 18, paragraph 54, of the instructions for infantry and artillery, United States navy (revised edi- tion). How are officers to do when not in uni- fcrm? Do the officers who are playing ten- nis or riding, in civilian’s clothing, salute the same as when in uniform? Do the civilian instructors who do not wear uni- form have to salute their friends by touch- ing their hats? I do not think so; they have the best authority for raising them, in the example of the commandant of cadets, who, when in civilian’s dress, favors his acquaintarces with a most gracious bow. According to the interpretation of the regulation referred to, all who do lift their Fats, to wives or friends, are transgress- ing, so let them be brought to order, or else let that unlucky paragraph be changed so that sticklers for the letter of the law may not, in gddition to the censure they are getting, bear the added burden of in- consistency.

As we then stated, “everything within our establish- ment is to be a little lower in price than the same article can be purchased else- where.” We grant that we run the risk of your misjudging the goods in selling them so low, but time and investigation will overcome that.
