TWO REVENUE DECISIONS.
One Deals with Notes and the Other
with Exchanges.
Internal Revenue Collector Penman
yesterday received a number of decis
ions from Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Wilson, two of which are of
general nubile interest.
One decision says that any note or,
obligation to pay any sum of monev
If made under seal Is taxable as a bond
at 50 cents. If It contains a power of
attorney there Is an additional tax ot
9Z cents on It.
The other decision Is mnde at the re
fluest of bankers' from all parts of the
country who seemed to have miscon
strued a former decision regarding
the taxing of exuress comuanles as
BDeclal brokers.
i'he commissioner states that no
decision was ever made exempting
these companies from taxation as
brokers when they sell bills of ex
chanco He says they are to be taxed as spe
cial brokers except when they sell
only money orders which nre not
classed as bills of exchange.

AN INTERESTING CHARACTER.
Something of the Life and Work of
i Rov. S. P. Vomer.
Rev. Samuel Phillips Verner,,the mis
sionary, who will tomorrow morning
and afternoon preach at the Second
Presbyterian church, Is a most Inter
esting character. Mr. Vcrner Is the son
of a South Carolina planter, and gradu
ated at the University of North Caro
lina, In 1S92, with the highest honors.
Ho originally meant to engage in a
legal and political career, but finally
chose the . ministry and missionary
work, and In 1895 went to Africa, where
he founded two stations, one 1,200 miles
fiom the coast. He engaged actively
In efforts to suppress the slave trade,
and made several explorations, discov
ering eight lakes.
Mr. Vcrner also devoted his attention
to sclentlllc matters and his collection
at the Smithsonian Institute Is one of
the largest and best chosen ever
brought to America from Africa, In
cluding as It does a blacksmith shop,
a weaver's loom, many African weap
ons and cloths, boots, skins and other
articles.
A steamer is being built for his oTk
and It will have free access to a valley
larger and better watered than that of
the Mississippi.
Mr. Vcrner has brought b.ick with
him two African children, of cannibal
parentage, with all the savage instincts
and passions of their race, and he In
tends to educate them and see what the
development will be. They are now In
Alabama, and have nlready made good
headway in their training.
Rev. Mr. Vcrner will return to the
scene of his labors, and Is earnestly at
work to place his cause on a Arm basis.
He believes In the redemption of slave,
by industrial education, self-supporting
coIonies, In religious instruction,
and hopes to see all these ends realized
in the work to which he has devoted
himself.

PROPOSED NEW TRACTION LINE

Public Interest In the franchise which
has been asked for from city councils
Is on tho Increase and now that It has
become known that a number of rep-
lesentatlve and public snitlted business
men are behind the entei prise. It seems ,
to meet "With general favor and the lm-

large cars of the most approved Pull
man pattern. It will thus bo seen, as
it is claimed by Its promoters, that the
proposed new company will le a com
petitor of the steam railroads, rathet
than of the old Traction company.
Evidenced by tho fact that most of
the right of way has ilready been set
cured and paid fcr and by tho number
nnd standing of the men who are at
the head of the enterprise the pro
ject will be a success. Among those
who are Interested In the new enter
