GEORGE GOULD'S RACK SALARY.
A Way by Which He May Dodge the Pay
ment of a Tax.
There is a possibility of an interesting suit
under the inheritance law in connection with
the Jay Gould estate. In disposing of his vast
personal property Mr. Gould set aside t5,000,00
to his son George as compensation for services
rendered to the testator in the last few year. of
his life. The possibility is foreseen that the re
cipient of this large amount may claim that it
is non-taxable under the inheritance law, be
eause it is not left to him as legacy, but is paid
to him as accumulated salary.
The tax on the amount would be fully e50,000.
e sum which the controller is not likely to
rorego without an effort to collect it. It is
clear that if Mr. Gould can establish the non
taxability of his alleged back salary at his fath
'e valuation of his service, all he has to do to
lodge the inheritance tax is to call hi's bequests
ialarie'sfor 'services theretofore unrewarded and
ix the rate of compensation hig! enough to
ibsorb hi. entire estate.

Kris Krlngte Struck the Pastor.
The Rev. G. James Jones, Ph. D.. of the Tab
ernacle has been away in the east for over a
week. He is so constant at his post hat the
people felt strange in his absence. Late Thurs
day night he returned, in good health and
spirits. On Friday night, without one word of
warning, his home on Virginia avenue was
taken in possession by a large nunbear of friends
and the pantry filled with the goods of this life
and a large envelope containing a handsomesum
of money, presented to him as a token of the es

nearly trebled since he began work, a iarge and
elBcient choir secured, under the lend of Prof,
W. J. Stephens of Howard University, and the
united support of a corps of able workers. To
emphasize this fact was the purnose of the sur
prise. The pastor thanked them and assured
them that nothing would be left undone by him
to make the church still more efficient.

subject, and -nding that he had the authority
by law, strongly recommended that the action
should be taken. The commissioner of ih

with a mile of land from the shores ofthe river
and lake, for the purpose of flh culture under
the statute authorizing him to do so.
and this is included in the proelamatioa
of the President. The whole comprises
a national reservation, and all trespassers are
required fbremove therefrom. There is a can
nery on the island that will have to be vaested,
but those of the forier subjects of Russia
there, a few in number, will be protected In
whatever rights ther might have under
the Rnssian treaty. Ibis reservation is one
of the most important yet made.
The salmon and trout crowd the
Afognak river at the breeding season so much
an to actually press some out upon fue shore,
and there is no doubt that by preserving it it
will become a breeding place for all the other
waters of Alaska and the different rivere of the
United States in all the future; whereas, If it
bad been left to the depredations already com
menced upon it. the fish there, as they have
elsewhere in the United States, would become
utterly exterminated.
There is a prospect that the sea otter may
also be preserved there and it may be other sea
niimals. This Is a beginning of a series of res
ervations in this direction that will preserve
the tch and animals of the sea as have been
preserved the deer, elk, buffalo and other ani
