TO BE AN ARMY OF COLLECTORS ; > I Treasury I>epartment to Appoint In- j I come Tax Gatherers. Washington, Nov. 1.?With most of the regulations for the collection \ I (ti the income tax out of the way > internal revenue officers to-day turn- y ed their attention to the selection of a the staff to collect the money. In s the next few months three hundred n and thirty-four deputy collectors. 4 0 h agents and 40 inspectors are to be b appointed. > Several thousand applications for j t - - - ? ? I these positions have oeen receiveu i at the treasury department. Appoint- ! t ments probably will be apportioned j ri among the States and in most cases j u successful applicants will need the; a endorsement of collectors of internal t revenue in their districts and be ac- f ceptable to Senators and Congress- y men. e Although the operation of the in- a come tax law so far as concerned I collections at the source of income C tegan to-day, the actual cash will Inot reach the treasury for many a months. Corporations and others t: who pay interest on bonds or mortgages, or who pay salaries or other c forms of income, must withhold the li normal tax of 1 per cent except as ti provided by the law. The return of ^ the sums withheld will be made early a in the year, but the collections will d not begin until June. a Secretary McAdoo said the regulations for the collection of the tax ^ put out by the department might require changes from time to time. A A GOOD FIGHT. Polar Bear, Man, Dog, Horses and ^ More Men All Busy. ? CJ Alphonse Bolce, veteran draughts- r< man in the city's service, was saun- 51 tering through the Zoological Gardens in Bronx Park early last even- n ing with Mrs. Bolce, when as he was G starting down the steps into the ^ sunken enclosure that holds the po- ^ lar bear cage, Mr. Bolce was seized ^ with an attack of vertigo. He stum- ^ bled forward down the stairs and fell si headlong. Unconscious he lay on the ir ground with his head and shoulders ai beneath the guard rail surrounding ** the cage. He was within the danger line. Ivan, the Russian bear, knew it. He ^ lumbered forward and half curiously ? thrust a big paw through the bars and clawed at the face within his reach. The heavy paw was burrow- 111 ing deeper w-hen Mrs Bolce, who had hurried down-stairs, seized her hus- j w band and dragged him to safety. She j acted so quickly that Ivan did not i eI seriously harm her husband. Guards j reached his side a moment later. 61 But that was just the beginning of tc a half hour of excitement in the park, j n< As Mr. Bolce was carried up the steps I pl to a shelter, an ambulance call went j w in to Fordham Hospital, and from j there Jim and Patty, a favorite team i w -- ! tC in xue IlUSpxLctl biauicss, came laving, j with an ambulance to bring Dr. j tc Ahearn. Just as they were swinging j sa \into the park through the Bronx-j J"a dale gate, a powerful white bulldog writh a savage jaw ran across the drive and leaped at Patty. His teeth L tore into the flesh of her flank. The frightened horses reared and j plunged forward. John Gallagher.! the driver, stood and lashed out at; the dog with his long whip. It did j L no good. Again and again the dog ! ^ leaped and tore at the speeding,! p] 6werving horses, while the driver j c struck out with his whip in vain. For the half mile of that drive that m stretches between the Bronxdale en- is trance and the Boston road entrance 0) the snarling, snapping dog and the frightened, wounded horses raced side by side. The |jace ended only when James sl McCurren, a park workman, met them at the other gate axe in hand. c( His aim was true. With one blow he n] dropped the dog to the ground, ana ho had struck with such violence 0 that the animal's head was almost e( split in two. a. Meanwhile some one had had the A sense to send in another call to Fordham Hospital, and this time it was an automobile ambulance that came. By the time of its arrival the dead dog had been carried off and Bolce's wounds had been dressed by Dr. y Ahearn. But Jim and Patty were in ! d bad shape. Both were half mad with pain from the bites in their flanks v and all trembling with fear. Eight a times the dog had sunk his teeth in Patty's side and five times in Jim's, n Both horses were looked after care- si fully, but it is feared that they will have to be shot. a Mr. Bolce, who is 76 years old, was "R able to go to his home at 201 Pros- ti pect avenue, the Bronx.?New York Times. c "You sent so many picture cards si while I was at the summer resort," j i she protested.

THAI? The Tragedy of a Man Who Di(ln' Know How to Plan a Home. When William Louis Winans, o the family so closely identified wit! the early days of the Baltimore an< Ohio Railroad, went to Russia fc | build the railroad through the Czar' j dominions from St. Petersburg t< Moscow, another man, with whon this story has to deal, followed fas upon his heels, says a writer in th< New York Times. The Baldwin Locomotive Work scented in the building of that roai the chance for them to secure a lu crative contract lor equipment an< they sent one of their highest salariei employes, Frank W. Cummings, t get the ear of the Czar while Winan was building the famous line whos< route is said to have been determine< by means of a foot rule laid across ; map by the Czar himself. Cummings was a Maine man and a the time he started for Russia he ha< just begun the erection of a house ii Portland, which he designed to be ai ideal bachelor's home. He had pur chased a magnificent site overlookinj Fort Allen Park. He planned hi house so that from one side the win dows looked out upon the old revolu tionary fort, where ancient smooth bored cannon still poke their nose! through the grass-clad embrasure: which have stood for over an 10( years, and beyond that up Casco bay where little islands dot the water a: far as the eye can see. From the rear of the house when Cummings located a huge billiarc room lighted from three sides, on( looked over the whole Portland har bor, and beyond that to the open se* and down the coast to where one o the oldest lighthouses on the Atlanth shore still stands white upon rock: whence it first sent its warning ligh forth from bonfires of pine wood ir 1791. His bachelor paradise was dear tc the heart of Cummings and as ofter as he could leave Europe he woulc come to Portland and overlook the work that had been done since his visit. He saw fit to change his mine sometimes and would order work torr out that had been constructed so ai to substitute other plans. The resuli was that when the house was finally completed it had been rebuilt in greai part. The building alone cost him ir the neighborhood of $70,000, anc years of time. It is unlikely that any one woulc have mistaken that house for any thing but the creation of a man, anc a railroad man. There was not ? dressing room or boudoir in the entire structure, which was sufficiein evidence that no woman was considered in its planning. There was bu1 one closet in the whole mansion, and that was attached to a servant's room on the top floor. The bed" chambers were all separate, opening from the hall alone, and none of them connecting, while there was but one bath room. This was strongly reminiscent of the wast in n Dllllmon AO T? f Ar it IiqH *j l UUlli in a x uiunau Lai , ivi it nuu & row of four washbowls along one wali where the guests whom he expected to entertain could wash in company, The woodwork of the house and ol the furniture was black and French walnut, hand carved. The ornamentation was almost identical with thai in vogue on the sleeping cars of 4C years ago, and the headboard of the beadsteads looked exactly like the wooden facings of upper berths. The builder must have had the swaying railroad train in mind wher he designed the furniture, for the heads of the beadsteads were se' immovably into the plaster of the walls, the book-cases were similarlj built in and some of the small tables had one edge set into the wall, the legs being built out from the plaster A bowling alley occupied much o; the basement. Here the owner hac also planned a sort of curiosity shot of his own, for in a long room he hac built tiers of cupboards for models ol locomotives. On the walls of this room, when the house was dis manteled, hung dozens of time-stain' ed photographs of the locomotives that were sold to the Czar and put ir operation by an American on the first railroad constructed in the gigantic Russian Empire. Cummings began to designate the rooms by means of silver letters at tached to the doors, but the alphabel gave out before he had finished, aric the rooms on the upper floors were numbered, for this bachelor's home contained over 50 different apart ments. The house was finally finished,anc Cummings was planning to occupy ii when, one night while in Philadelphia on business connected with the Baldwin Works, he was stricken witl i ' pneumonia. A physician told hirr that he had but a few hours to live; a lawyer was hastily called and Cummings made a will leaving the house and its contents to his sister. A fev hours later the bachelor's life was done and his vision of a princelj home gone witn it. i ne nouse upor which he had spent a fortune, whicf had been the dream of a lifetime, bul * RAT UNCOVERS $5,000 THEFT. t Exposes a Maid Employed in C.

This year has seen an extraordi nary prolificacy of crane flies, more 3 familiarly known as "daddy long3 legs."

When the grub has changed A i into a chrysalis and is about to 1 emerge as a perfect fly it manages 3 to work its way to the surface. 3 Then, when about two-thirds of it 1 protrudes from the ground, the case i bursts and from it emerges "Daddy s longless," ready to commence his t stupid but harmless career.?London 7 correspondence to New York Sun.
