But the Legal Uemedy is Via Com mon Law and Statute and Not Through the "War or Internal Eevo nue Laws That Is tho Opinion or Commissioner Scott Numbor of Other Official Rulings Which Will Be Found to Apply to Cases In This Region. Not much comfort is allowed to ship pers in a recent ruling by N. B. Scott, commissioner of Internal revenue. A copy of the ruling hns been received In this city by Collector Penman. It di rects common carriers to pay the Htamp tax but nftords the shipper vague redress If hu Is forced to bear the expense. All common carriers, so designated by common law or statute, must pto vlde the shipper with u stamped bill of lading or receipt. This Is Impera tive nnd the burden of paving the tax falls upon the carrier. But, should the carrier refuse to take goods or make any shipment unless the shipper pays the tax, no remedy for the aggrieved party or parties Is piovlded, either in the war tevenue or Internal redress law. They must seek tediess by pro cess of common law or statute which provides for the duties of carriers toward shippers. Hegaidlng tho "stamping of tele grams nnd Bleeping car tickets," ex plicit Instructions are given to collec tors and Internal revenueagents. They shall confine themselves in their exam ination of the telegiuph and sleeping car compnnles' files, to merely ascer tain whether the law has been complied with. The purpose Is to avoid unnec essary pioblng Into private acts of said companies. HOW TO CANCUL. Directions are given concerning the "cancellation of documental y nnd pro prietary Internal revenue stamps." In any and all cases stamps must be can celled, either by writing the initials of the person so doing across the face of the stamp, and also marking month, day and jear theieon, or by using an Inking stamp or perforating machine. This npplies In all cases whether the stamp Is adhesive to or piinted upon any check, draft, etc. Concerning the computation of tho tax upon capital In returns by banks, the law holds that all surplus and un divided prollts must bo Included in the computation nnd become taxable Com putation Is based upon the capital and surplus for the preceding fiscal ear. If the capital and surplus vary from time to time during tho pieceding lls cal car, an average can be taken, as was done under act ot June 30, 18C4. At that time It was found necessary In tho case of deposits to add all amounts at the close of business for eaih busi ness day, and then divide by the num ber of business duys. The average would thus be easily obtained. 'This method hould be adopted under the new law. The need of avei aging Is obviously greatest as to undivided profits. It Is held to be Improper to leduce the amount of undivided pioflts bv unar( rued interest or by pioflts to be divided." Companies doing a life insuiance bus iness ns a puiely co-operative or mut ual company, who Issue no stock, and have no stock holders, and where nil pioflts or surplus assets go to Its mem bers In the'way of dividends, i eduction of premiums or additions to policies in case of death must come under tho head of "fraternal" or "beneficiary" status In order to escnpe taxation as life Insurance companies Many companies as described above charge theli premiums at fixed tates, payable at stipulated times, as in the case of oidlnaiy life Insurance and not accoullng to the assessment plnn usu ally adopted by co-operative lnsurnnce companies. Such compnnles do not, therefore, become exempt and nre clearly taxable as life Insuiance com rallies TELrGfiAPII EXEMPTION. Concerning the exemption of certain telegraph messages of railroad com panies, much confusion seems to ex ist. Txemptlon alone Is given to all communications referring to all Joint and mutual business In which there Is a ;oliit Interest and responsibility to th" i ubllc. No stamping Is, therefoie, lo'iulred, Further, "It should be defi nitely understood, however, that mes sages to a connecting line, in relation to the business of one line alone, are not included in the exemption " All exhibitions of Edison's klneto- stopes require a payment of a speclnl tax of $10 in each state wherever any exhibition is given. This holds good In everv Instance, even If as one poi son snjs he "will donate 23 per cent, ot the lecelpts of the exhibition to tho public school." The peison exhib iting must pay the tax In every state he enteis, no one payment being bulll clent for nil. In estimating the amount of special tax requited from bankers under the first paiagraph of section 2, act of June 13, 1S9S, all borrowed capital must be taken Into nccount. This is impera tive In eveiy Instance, Particular Instructions are given in reference to the matter of "money tn -tiers sent by telegraph or express All ae taxable at the lute of 2 cents per order. Banks are also liable to this tax wherever any monies ate transfeired by telegrnphle order," In addition to the tax on the dispatch or telegram. Where stamps, printed fiom private dies, are used for the payment of tax upon proprietary articles, Instead of cancellation by initials nnd date, such stamps shall be so afllxcd on the box, bottle or package that In opening tho same or using the contents thereof, the said stnmp shall be effectually de stroyed." Those persons who are or may bo engaged In "shaving notes, miner's duo bills, county ordeis or court cost hills, or pngages in any of these exceedingly profitable and much followed pursuits," are not liable to the collection of a tax under the clause referring to "commer cial broker." Any sales ugent styling himself "merchandise" or "commer cial" broker is liable unless lie Is pos sessed of the goods for which they tako orders, or negotiate sales for. Hearing upon this point the Supreme court ruling In the case of Warren, et al vs. Shook (91 U. S. 701) Is cited, viz: "It Is only when making sales nnd pur chases In his business, his trade, his profession, his means of getting his living, or of making his fortune, that he becomes a broker within the mean ing of the statute." THEATRICAL TAX. All "theatrical companies" outside of those who play or exhibit in connec tion with a circus, do not becomo liable under tho clause referring to taxing of circuses which Including theatrical companies or performers. They are required to pay a tax of $10 under par agraph 8, bearing upon the theatrical companies vho piny dramas in towns of 25,000 Inhabitants or less, or plays In any building In nny such town whoie tho proprietor of such building does not hold the special stamp tax of $100 for that building. Interest coupons made In tho foim of promissory notes aro taxable us promissory notes. Whero n note cm braces both principal and interest, the such note. No stnmp is required upon an "acknowledgment of nn Instru ment." All contiacts of bargain and sale of real estate are taxed ns a con veyance. In every Instance where a lease Is given to a tenant provldng for rent payments, which arc represented by notes, both lease and notes should be stamped, All assignments must bear the same tax ns that of the original In strument. No liability for speclnl tax as "man ufactures of clgnis accrues to nny dealer in leaf tobneco who Improperly qualifies ns n "manufacturer of cigars for the purpose of dealing In cigar cut ting." However, all such persons will be required to close their business ns "cigar manufacturers" and mny qual ify as "manufacturers of tobacco." Peddlers of tobacco are not required to pay special tax under the act of June 13, 1S0S, as "dealers In tobacco," but must nnd ate required to register and give bond heretofore. WHEELMEN OBJECT. They Don't Want to Pay Tolls on tho Abington Turnpike. The Piovldence and Abington Turn pike company hn. served notice that on aod after Aug. 15 It will charge toll on blocks. The fee Is to be 5 cents No little dissatisfaction hns been ntoiibed among wheelmen who claim the condition of the road does not war rant the toll. The load, although tho dliect route to Clarke's Summit and othei towns north, is used as little ns possible by wheelmen on account of Its tough, un even and dustv surface. Complaint, therefor, does not come from city rld eis. Tho objectois are country bicy clists who nre obliged to use the road. An attempt to lemonstiate with the turnpike company Is to be made through the Scranton Bicycle club. Of ficials of the club were visited yester day by up-country wheelmen who alt ed their gilevaiices. The result was a promise that the matter would be In ought up for consideration at a meet ing of the club on Thursday night It was explained to the complainants that a remedy was Improbable as the company owned the propertv and had the rlsjht to charge for passage ever it Th" suggestion was made, liov .e", that a remonstrance against the .Miull tlcn of the road and an agreement to ute the railroad Instead of bicycles .light Induce the company to agiee to make needed lepalrs. MORE SUPPLIES NEEDED. Public is Slow to Aid Soldiers In tho Hospitals. There has been but slight response to the appeal of the Soldiers' Relief as sociation for supplies to be sent to the Thirteenth regiment. The drugs need ed, according to the letter lecelvcd from Surseon Keller last week, have been purchased out of the genet al re lief fund and shipped to the medical otllcers at the camp. Only a few packages of towels, paja mas and nlght-gow ns, etc., for the sick have been received at the olllce of Ser ietai Athetton in the Boaid of Tiade building. If the response Is not more geneious by Thursday afternoon, when the association will meet. It will ptob ably be decided to pui chase the needed arltcles and to use the general fund foi that purpose. In this event, boxes would be shipped to the regiment on Saturday, probably On Sunday the appeal of the asbo ciation wns announced in the churches of the North End with the request that the goods be sent to Mullen's stoie. When a sufllclent quantity has accumu lated there, they will be sent to the office of the secretaiy of the associa tion and packed and shipped w Ithout delav.

Last night's meeting of tho board of control lnlsed the salaries of princi pals of grammar schools $10 per month, broke up In disorder before all the busi ness of the session was tiansacted, and President Francois' left ear will be apt to burn for n couple of dnvs from the things said about blm Eleven mem bers felt like retlilng Into the alley behind the city hall and pummellng one nnother for allowing nine of their colleagues to outwit them. Dennis Roche, of the Seventh, told Mr. Kiancols It was the worst case of film flam he ever saw, heard or read about. Anil John M. Casey said: "Yes, Alex, jou're a daisy. I must give ou credit for it." It happened this way: The building committee among other things reported h. fnvor of referring the question of heating No. 31 school back to the boaid. Eleven members, Messrs. O'Mnlley, Davis, Phillips, Casey, Hoche, Walsh, Jayne, Evans, Langnn, Gib bons, Leonaul and Jennings were pull intf together on every question that enme up, nnwd Messrs. Shires, May, Schafer, Neuls, Schtlefer, Barker, Schwass and Francois weie the other wav. Tho Hunt & Connell company was one of four firms that bid on the heat ing contiact and proposed to do the Job for $4,221, and to connect the school with the sewer some hundred feet away The ngieement with teference to the sewer was made to the bid after it was sent In but befoie the commit tee considered the bids. CAPT. MAY APPROVED IT. Captain May was opposed to con tiact because the bid was Inegular, having been chnnged after It wns sent in, nnd furthermote he wns teetotnlly opposed to It because It was expending $.4,000 on an $8,000 building that would soon have to bo torn clown nnd re placed with a modern twenty or thlity thousand dollar stiucture. It would take n stenographer with four hands and all of them going like sixty to record the discussion thnt followed A motion to lay the question on the tnble Indefinitely was voted clown. Mr. Jennings made a motion to readveitlse for bids and Mi. Gibbons made n mo tion to lay Mr Jennings' motion on the tnble. It was lost by a tie vote, 10 to 10. At this stage Mr. Shrlofer made a motion to adjourn It was put and Mr. Tiancols declared It carried, and at the same time picked up his hat and walked out. The membeis ran fiom one to the other talking fast and loud, nnd John Gibbons arose and announced thnt all in favor of disposing of the heating question remnln nnd tiansact business. He said there were eleven of them. Then himself and D I Phil lips rnn hither and thither to muster a quoium but failed In the confusion Mi. Lnngan mounted to the chnlr nnd Mrs Tellows called the roll, but onlv a few nnsweied to their names, nnd the nttempt to go on again wns aban doned. The ruling of Mr. Francois on the motion to adjoin n wns criticized as equivalent to the most aibltrary piece of business ever witnessed. Many a verbal fling wns aimed at him as he strode to the corridor. The teachers' committee made tho following report: HIGH SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS. 1 That the jet Uy nv erase of the pupils In Grammar A grado be added to tho av tr.igo ot the llnal examination, unit those passing the mark ot heveiity be admitted to the high hool.

Sarr was oblig ed to leave Chicago with him, and, smnitlng under her treatment and the notoriety of her arrest, decided to send him back. The police learned from the letter thnt Mrs Sarr was at 814 Wil low street. Tho boy was sent to that address last night. DIED FROM GANGRENE. Railroad Man Succumbs to It at the Hospital.
