No information has bc.en received from Washington by Collector Kivkcn dall, except on one subject, that of the tax on beer. Last night Deputy Col lector Brinker, at his office in the old postoffice building, received a telegram from Collector Kirkendall telling him that on and after October 23 he should collect $1.50 a barrel on fermented liquor, instead of $ 1 as heretofore, and change his stamps to conform to the new order. This applies to all beer in stock, and the old Btamps are withdrawn and new ones issued, the collector charging fifty cents to make up the larger tax where $ 1 has already been paid. Brewers, from Harrisburg to Altoona. have been in communication with Dep uty Brinker and he has been very busy issuing the new stamps. No other in structions have 'leen received regarding the levying of the war tax or how it is to be collected. PUBLIC SALE At tlie l<onit*«trail Hotel, (.Inglca -Icm n. I*u.

Keys, New York.) * An old woman, owning: some 6 per cent, railroad bonds which she has had nearly twenty-five years, found out recently tihat these bonds were going to be paid off In January next. She, therefore, wrote to her banker asking him to suggest to her some rmore bonds Just like them which would pay the same rate of interests In his reply the banker gave her a list of bonds every enu of which was either a 3*4 per cent,, 4 per cent, or 5 per cent, bond, selling at. a discount. In one column of his list he had the rate otf interest worked out. It was 6 per cent, or a little more in each casie. One of the bonds, for instance, was a per cent, issue which hs.d twenty years to run and which she could buy at 71, or $7lO for a thousand dollar bond. The yield here was stipulated as being 6 per cent. She took the trouble to divide 71 into 350 and discovered that tfhe answer to this simple problem of arithmetic was 4.9. She, therefore, replied to her banker to the effect that this bond, as well as all the other bonds in the list, did not yield 6 per .cent. This one bond slhe figured yielded less than 5 per cent. The banker in his reply, of course, explained quite cLearly that in addition to the income of $.15 a year from each SI,OOO bond the client would aisq obtain $290 at the end of twenty years, because the bond, which would only cost her $7lO, would he paid off at SI,OOO. This "appreciation," he explained, is always reckoned as part of the return on a bond investment. Similarly, If the bond cost more than a thousand dollars, anyone reckoning the return of interest has to allow for the fact that it will "depreciate" If held to maturity. The lady's reply to this letter was a piece of gcmd common sense, from her point of view. In part, she said: "Long before twenty years is up I hope to be in heaven. In the meantime, I want to live as comfortably as my means will let me, and in to do so T do not want to cut down my income every year for the purpose of piling up some profits for those who will inherit what little T own when T am gone, so I want to spend a thousand dollars and get back S6O every year so long as T need it. Please send me a list of some bonds that will accomplish this result for me." The incident Illustrates that a 6 tper cent, investment which would he perfectly good for a life insurance company, or a savings bank, or any other investment institution which hopes to make its activ ities a continuous performance until the end of time, is not always a perfectly good 6 per cent, investment for everybody. In the case of this woman a per cent, bond, due in twenty years and selling at 71. Is an unsuitable investment, because such a large proportion of its net return—over one-sixth—would never come into her hands at all, hut would be piled up for the benefit of her heirs. If, on the other hand, she had been a young woman investing money to build up for her own old age a comfortable position a 3% per cent, bond at a big discount would probably have been much more suitable than a 6 per cent, bond selling at par, because it would automatically in .crease her principal and would not give her so much current income, which, perhaps, might be frittered away or might be too small to invest every six months, when it came in. In the practice of investment this problem of making an invest ment suitable to the client is quite a large factor. Of course it is not the largest factor, for the safety of the principal and the interest occupies the place of honor in the considerations of all honest men guarding the Investments of other people. The question of suitability is merely, therefore, an important incidental consideration. How important it is is hardly evdr realized except when one comes to a case where a crisis in the affairs of a man or woman arises out of the fact that their Investments were utterly unsuited to the -purpose for which they were made. An illustration of this condition is fur nished by another actual incident. « Some years ago a trustee who had been handling a fund for twenty years came to the time when, under the terms of his deed of trust, he was obliged to make a distribution of the fund. He had paid no great attention to the matter of his trust for many years, because he had Invested all the money in absolutely gilt-edge secur ities twenty years ago, and had merely distributed the income every year in equal proportions amongst the beneficiaries as -the income came In. That was all he was instructed to do under the terms of his trust, and he had faithfully fulfilled his conditions according to his light*. That his "lights" were not particularly good seems to be unfortunate for the benflciaries, for he discovered that his invest ments. when he made them, were all in gilt-edge bonds selling at a very high premium. He had paid as high as $1,250 for some 4 per tent, state bonds. The lowest-priced bond in his list had cost him $!.!#(» for a thousand dollar, par value. When, near the time of dis tribution, he obtained an appraisal of all these securities, he found that there was an average shrinkage of 14 per cent, in the face value of his trust. When he brought this matter to the attention of the writer it was to see whether anything could be done to alleviate his distress at being obliged to report to the beneficiaries such a large shrinkage in the principal as compared with *what both he and they had expected would he distributed. He knew perfectly well that ho would have a very bad time explaining to them what had happened to the bonds. He felt that he had done nothing wrong and that he could justify himself, but he knew perfectly well that explanations, no matter how good they are, do not remove the tangible matter which made the explanation necessary. Hero another ease where an investment made in perfectly good in the best grade of securities caused distress of mind and. possibly, some physical distress on the part of the beneficiaries because the investment was not suitable for the purpose for which it was inade. It produced too large an income every year, which was distributed i.o the beneficiaries, but a part of which actually came out of the principal, leaving it depleted to that extent. Of course, both these illustrations are mild illustrations. Hun dreds of cases could be adduced where much greater damage has resulted than could result from either of these cases. They arc chosen because in neither case was there any element of unsoundness in the securities bought, and all the error consisted only In the un suitable character of the security and not in its badness. AL WA KS- YOUNG ORANDMOTHER THIS SEASON IS • Mrs. Gene Hughes, Who Reti ' The grandmother who never allowed herself to grow old, who grew older in years, but younger in spirit and locks, will be readily recalled as Mrs. Gene Hughes, who, with a clever cast, pre sented a comedy sketch called "Youth," at the Orpheuni on two different occa sions, Entertaining as that play was, il is asserted by vaudeville managers that Mrs. Hughes han gone "Youth" one better in the selection of a vehicle for this season which is entitled "Lady Gossip.' 11 lrns to Orpheum Next WeeK. i , This latter playlet is full of good I comedy lines and situations and the comedy is of the brand that is so suit able to Mrs. Hughes' particular talents. "Lady Gossip," with all its fun, is saiil to have a little ftermon laid at its root. Mrs. Hughes will have a com pany of clever players, five of them, and all are excellently cast for their respective roles. "Lady Gossip" will be one of the attractive features grouped on the same bill with Sophie Barnard and Lou Anger. Adv.
