MEDICINAL IN- CUABA?"TER.
The first absolute prerequisite to tho
Imposition of this tax Is that the article
Should be medicinal in its character. It
is to bo eibeerved, however, that while
i articles and substances are used ex
clusively, or nearly so, in materia meilica,
ether articles and substance? which are
)?ot mo exclusively used may become modi
li H artl.les, subject to tax by being held
Out and specially advertised us remedies
Dr sp?cifie? for any disease affecting th?
I n or animal body. In this way cer
tain articles usually ro-ardt d In this class
?of foods or beverages mas be placed in
|he category of ta ?.abb medicinal prepara
tions. Soaps may also be placed In the
category of taxable article? by being ad
vertised a? remedies or cosmetics.
There is a common error prevailing In
the community to the effect that the tax
gn medlclnul preparations is a tax ex
etuaivoly on proprietary or patent medl?
cine?, or those put up under some trade
r Nothing could be further from
ho truth. The last senteno of tho pro
Viso to ?ectlon 30 Is held by this 84-0?

?within th? purview of the law a vast
Variety of medicinal preparations Which

The last clause ef section 20. act of June
13. 18*5. ts as follows:
"The ?tamp taxe? provided for in Sche

Under 1 (b) and (c) any medicinal article

For example, "Tostel??* Quinine,"

MUST STAMP BULK PACKAGES.
Articles subject to stamp tax under
l ule B, act of June 13, 1898, are
equally liable to ?tamp tax when sold
In what are termed bulk packages, as
when sold in retail packages, and the
value of the stamp or stamps to be
affixed must correspond with and be
proportionate to the price of a single
retail package.
This ruling specially applies to bay rum
and cologne waters, vaseline, and petro
latum, which are taxable under the head
of perfumery and cosmetics, and to bit
and oth?r medicines when ?old in
begS. barrels, etc.
Dealers may retail directly to the con
sumir from such bulk packages as havo
bt u properly stomped by the manufac
Itir. r or importer, drawing from the same
In quantities to suit their customers with
Mt any ?additional stamping, but the
-?tamps attached to such bulk packages
will only protect the original contents.
If bulk packages ar? broken up by the
lealer drawing off the contents Into
melier vessels to be put upon his shelves,
;r otherwise kept for future Bale?, the
'Ontents so drawn off thereby ceaso tc
M identified with the stamped packag?*
n which they were originally put up by
:he manufacturer or sold by the Importer,
md ?uch contents so put up become Ha
le to eeizure if stamps .are not affixed
0 them.
The content? of bulk packages liable to
nx under Schedule B, which were in the
lands of retailers on the 1st day of July,
898, and, therefore, unstamped, must be
?tamped when sold at retail from snld
?ackage? proportionately to the retail
?rice of the whole package.
SAMPLES OF PREPARATIONS.
Samples of medicinal preparation and
lerfumery and cosmetics, taxable under
Ichedule It. may be removed .from tho
ilace of manufacture for free distribution
I'lthout stamp or payment of tax.
Every sample ?o removed, however,
nnst have legibly printed thereon the
?allowing notice:
"This is a free sample, removed from
ho factory for gratuitous distribution,
iny person selling or exposing for dale
hi? ?sample at any time will be liable to
11 the pains and penalties of the law
enounced against persons selling or ex
loslng ffir sal?? unstumped anieles taxa

ARTICLE*-! ON HAND JULY 1ST.
The statute governing thl? matter is as
ol;. i ?ah:
"That all artlclw and preparations prov
ided ior in this schedule which are In
he hands of manufarturer?* or wholesale
>r retail dealers on the 1st day or July,
?18, shall be ?ubj??ct to the payment of
be stamp tax??? herein provided for, but
1 shall bo deemed a compliance with this
ct as to ?uch articles on hand in the
lands of wholesale or recall dealers as
iforeaald. who are not the manufacturers
1 to affix the proper adhesivo tax
tamp at th? time the packet, box. bottle,
at, or phial, or other lnclosure with its
on ten ta Is sold at retail." (Schedule- B?
et of June 13. 1898.)
[jnder this provision It I? held that ar
liable to tax In the hands of a re
Bll dealer who Is not the manufacturer
hereof, July 1, 1!j98, m*>ist be stamped by
uch rotai! dealer when lie ?ells them at
i tall. In Mamprng such artloles the re
ill price fixod l'y th? manufacturer must
adhered to by the retail dealer.
Articles Hablo to tax In the hands of
ala dealers who are not tho manu
u turers thereof on tho lut day of July.
8*8. may be sold by such whoh
i-aler to other wholesale ik-alers or to re
ji.il dealers without stamping tho same,
h.? obligation to Btamp being iimlt?*d to
aies ut retail.
All articles in the hands of manuf'c
un.-rs on said date liable to tax must bo
lamped before removal from tho place
f manufacture.
D.ilers In stamping articles on hand
uly 1, 1898, when sold nt retail, must ad
ora to the retail price as fixed by the
lanufacturer and Btamp the article ac
ini ?ugly, and not according to some "cut
rice."
ETA1L PRICE OF TAXABLE AR
TICLES.
The manufacturer or importer must fix
he retail price or value of the.taxable
rticles under Schedule B, manufactured
i- imported by him, and atlix the eorre
jonding adhesive etamps to the same
efore removal from the place of man.i
icture or Importation. This duty is im
oaad on the manufacturer or importer **
y law. It la believed that no one Is so
?mpetent as he to determine the retail
'ice or value of his products or Impor
itlona, and ho will be held strictly re
?onsiblo for a due compliance with the
atute.
This retail price or value is a price such
i a ?Ingle package or other small quan
ty would be sold at to consumers at the ]
lace of manufacture. If the mamifuc
irer fixe? the retail price in good faitn
[ cording to thi? rule he need apprehend i

greater or less sum than denoted by '
e stamps aflixed th? reto.

GE"*EROl* FIREMEH.
Tlier Gave I Ii. ir Dollar? to a llnrn
ed-Onl Family.
One of the saddest events connected
with the late fire, "by which the building
of the Goodwyn Arm and adjacent pro
perty was partially destroyed Saturday,
was the caso of Mrs. Barrlnger and
daughter, who occupied rooms in tha Good
wyn building, and who were absent, being
employed at a large packing-house down
town.
They arrived on tho, scene of destruc
tion to find nearly all their worldly ef
fects destroyed,
Chief Shaw assured them that he would
gather up all tinconsumed property, and
straighten things the best he could. The
daughter teat fully said their money was
in a certain place, and the (Thief soon
handed her two silver dollars, which he
found, which was all they had.
The gallant firemen vied with each
other in collecting everything, and a large
force swept, cleaned, and soon had tho
unfortunate mother and daught?*r as com
fortable as possible. One big-hearted fel
low asked the Chief to hand the lady a
dollar for him, and It was soon supple
mented by the others, who had fought
to save hor earthly possessions. Amid
the tears and gratitude*, of the lady and
daughter the firemen went back to head
quarters.
?'hlef Shaw say. he will noon visit this
lady and learn if she needs more help.
If she does she will get it.

ATLANTA, GA., August 2.?The patrons
of the ?"Southern Express Company in
Georgia will not In future be required to
pay for the revenue stumps affixed to
tho bills of lading Issued by,the company.
The senders of messages over the West
ern Union Telegraph CompsTjy will con
tinue to pay the 1-ccnt war tax.
The Georgia Railroad Commission de
cided the two cases in reference to the
express and telegraph company to-day.
The decision was against the former, but
favorable to the latter.
Able and elaborate opinions were ren
dered In each case by Judge Spencer R?
Atklnson, <?n behalf of tho commission.
It was held that the express company,
In Issuing a bill of lading, was required
u. put a stamp upon It, In order to make
it legal, and that tho company had no
right to exact the cost of the stamp from
the shipper. The commission takes the
position that by requiring the 1-cent tax
to be pnld by the shipper, the express
company is In principle as much guilty of
in overcharge as If it exacted $100 in each
:ase.
In the case of the Western Union, th?
:otnmJsslon h?id that tho company was
lot required to receive a message until
t was stamped. It does not become a

(Sydney Mall)
The crocodile of the Nile differ, very
little from that of our own northern
rivers, which la generally termed "alli
gator," though In reality a true croco
dile. The head of a true alligator Is
broader and shorter than that of the
crocodile. There Is also considerable
difference In the teeth, and their disposi
tion in the Jaw?. The teeth of the alli
gator are unequal, and the larger of the
lower canine enters a cavity In the upper
Jaw, while that of a crocodile simply
fits Into a groove on the outside of tho
upper Ja.w, leaving the tooth clearly
visible when the mouth of the monster Is
closed. There aro also difference? in
the webbing of the toes and the form
of the leg?, though to the general ob
server there Is little or no difference.
Crocodiles seem equally at home In aalt
or fresh water, while alligators don't ap
pear to relish, and rarely visit, salt
waters. The crocodile no doubt fe?*ds
largely upon fish? but as they grow older
and stronger and require great quanti
ties of food, they will, when hungry,
attack anything from a sheep or a kan
garoo to a bullock, a big crocodile making
short work of a bullock weighing over
half a ton. Some of these monsters
measure as much as twenty-seven feet
In length, and possess immense strength.
besides wonderful cunning and patience,
ft will lie in wait at any watering-place
fre?iuented by animals, hardly distin
guishable from a log of wood, so still
tnd Impassive It has become. The ani
mal coming down to drink Is suddenly
lelzed in the crocodile's huge Jaws and
Irawn into the water and drowned. At
ither times the tall Is used to sweep the
inlmal Into deep water, where, even
hough Its prey may be a heavy bullock,
t has little or no chance against Its en?
ny, which Is specially provided by nature
?vlth an arrangement that prevents the
yater rushing down Its huge throat, even
hough its Jaws are fully distended
hrough hohllng its prey. Thus, after a
ew brief seconds, tho unequal struggle
s ovpr, and the saurian takes the carcass
n tow to some favored locality, where
ie cun enjoy It at his leisure.
In the early days at Port Darwin, H,
,., bathing In the open sea was forbidden,
wing to tho danger from crocodiles,
here, and nearly everywhere else In
Lustralla, called alligators, though In
eallty no true alligator exists In Aus
ralla. A young trooper named Davis,
, fine swimmer, disregarded the general
reef, and one morning early went for a
wlm. Far out in the harbor he noticed
,-hat he and others took to be a float
ig log. Many of the northern trees float,
nd are washed down in the wet season !
? tha open sea. Out went the strong
wlmmer. nearer and nearer to the sup- 1
osed log, until too lato he recognized *
Is mistake, and that he was approach
lg Instead of a log a huge and appa
^r.tly listless crocodile. But the' know- 1
?Ige camo too late to be of any service t
> poor Davis, though some men called **
it to him from a small craft close by
) "go back!" "go back!" and Davis ?iiil
iake an attempt to retreat, an?! was
?vimming manfully shoreward when the
uge bruto flashed down upon him at a
rriflo speed and, opening his great Jaws t
their utmost capacity, came down
Ith a smack that was heard even to
to shore, and Inside their cruel grasp
as Trooper Davls's head. Then, with
10 quickness common to the saurian It *
id disappeared with Its victim. Every <
" sslble a'ti'tnpt wu.i made to recover
ie body, but without success, though the t
irbor was soon allvo with boats, and o
erst? r thrashed around for a conside

S bo.ly was soon afterward found lying <
i a rock, or, rather, a reef, some little

cial.)?This has been a quiet day at the
White House, and the State, Nayy, and
War building. At the State Department
America's demand on Spain, or the repi)
to that country's peace overture?, was
posted, and the dally sanitary reporl
from General Shafter was given out at
the War end of the structure. Nothing
has been heard from General Miles for ?
day or two, but no uneasiness is felt on
that account. He is believed to bo mas
ter of the situation, and If anything of a
?erious nature should occur he would
immediately notify the department, as
the cable to Ponce Is in good working or
der.
Speaking of the Porto Rico campaign,
an officer ?aid to-day that he believed
General Miles had already ?est Marias
a summon? to surrender. The Spanish
general is, he said, Governor of the
whole Island, and communication with
him would be easy.
The fall of San Juan will come soon,
and far in advance of the time scheduled
for It by the War Department. An army
of occupation, under General Wade, Is
already being prepared for the occupation
of Porto Rico, to consist of a>,000 men.
It is believed that such regiments as
have not already seen active service will
be chosen for this purpose. Exactly
what commands will go have not yet
been determined upon.

ruel.
In his answer Mr. ("rump denies the
illegatlons of his wife? as to his conduct
owards h*-r, and alleges that the, reason

ccordlng to her own statement, his wife
s physically unable to take care of them.
A large number of affidavits were ln
roduced on both sides In support of the
-ill of complaint and answer. Justice
Ma? aftyr hearing argument on both
Ides of the questlm at Issue, ?ustalned
