The unveiling of the monument to Major Henry Wirz, C. S. A., at Andersonville, Georgia, which took place yesterday^^^J^ event that will over the was unceremonies, the B^fDEH^Ters of the Confederacy, and |?H|^W?rgely through the suggestion of Mrs. A. B. Hull when she was at the head of that organization. At one time the Daughters decided to place the monument at Richmond hut this idea was abandoned this spring at a meeting held in Atlanta and it was decided then to put it at Audersonvllle, where Major Wlrz saw his most active duty as com.nandunt of the prison during the civil war. The inscription on the monument was selected with great care so "as not to give offense to any section of the country and at the same time to show the sympathy and love thi Southern women held for one looked upon in the South as a martyr. The inscriptions are given up largely to a recital of historical facts. The exercises of the unveiling took place at ten o'clock yesterday, ltev. P. H. McMahon, a Catholic prirst, delivered the invocation and pronounced the benediction. Addresses were delivered by Dr. Charleston Olmstead, of Atlanta, and Pleasant A. Stovall, editor of the Savannah Press." A feature of the exercises was the unveiling of the monuiiunt by Mrs. Perln, of Natchez, Mississippi, a daughter of Major Wlrz. The singing of "Maryland, My Maryland," and "Dixie," by a large chorus, the firing of a military salute by the Americas military and th<> sounding of taps concluded the ceremony, which whs attended by a large number of people from different sections of Georgia. The monument is a tall shaft of grey and white, thirty-five fe,lt in height, in design simple, slender and systematical, the general design being that of a monolith. The long shaft stands on a base formed by four square slabs of stone, which are superimposed in the form of a pyramid. Just above this base the otherwise unbroken outline of the shaft is intersected by two heavy blocks of stone, below which on the four sides of the monument are carved the fol'ow'ng inscription: (North Side) "When time phnll ha-vi softer.*... passion and prejudice, when reason shall have stripped the mask from misrepresentation, then justice, holding evenly her scales, will require milch of past censures and praise to change places." "Jefferson Davis, December, 1888." (South Side) "Discharging his duty with such humanity as the harsh circumstances of the times, and the policy of the foe permitted. Captain Wlrz become at last the victim of a misdirected "popular clamor. He was arrested in ine xime or peace, wnue under tlie protection of a parole, tried by a military commlsalon of a service to which he did not belong, and condemned to ignominous death on charges of excessive cruelty to Federal prisoners. He Indignantly spurned a pardon proffered on condition that he would incriminate President Davis and thus exonerate himself from charges of which both were Innocent." (East Side) In memory of Captain Henry Wirz, C. S. A. Horn Zurich, Switzerland, 1822, sentenced to death and executed at Washington, D. C., November 10, 18(15. To rescue his name from the stigma attached to It by embittered prejudice this Bhaft Is erected by the Georgia Division, United Daughters of the Confederacy." (West Side) "It Is hnrd on our men held In Southern prison not to exchange them, but It Is humanity to those loft in the ranks to flght our battles. At this particular time to release all rebel prisoners would insure Sherman's defeat and would compromise our safety here. "TTlvoono a Prnnf A ? < ?*.? 1 O i ??onvn u? vri ?uv, nu^uni, 1 o, 1 Sf>4."

Obtaining a knife from one of the ^ paspeugerB on the Augusta train, within two miles of Columbia, at Congaree river crossing, Emanuel Bolen, who was being carried to the Insane Asylum, slashed his own throat and, after an operation that laBted forty-five minutes, now lies dangerously ill at the hospital. Bol-, en is from North Augusta and was under guard of a special deputy at the time of the attempted suicide. The guard stated that everything went well with him and the prisoner, who was manacled, until the train was crossing the Congaree Bridge. At this point, just outside of Columbia, Bolen spoke to one of the passengers, who did not notice that the man was a prisoner. A knife was handed Bolen and the nexl thing the guard knew Bolen had made a vicious attempt to end hiB own life." The jugular vein was.touched and Bolen was Just saved from daath. After being taken to the Hospital the wound was stitched and the chances are that Bolen will recover unit ss blood poisoning should set in Tne doctors state that the knife may have been rusty, and in that event the wound might prove fatal. Bol? a is a middleagcd white man. * From those on the train a graphic story is toid of the struggle betwee# the guard and the insane man. The passengers thought the man was trying to cut the guard and several of them attempted to leave the coach,J laving been called on by the guard^ E. K. Mitchel, a young college man^ who was on the train, assisted in iaking the knife from Bolen. It ia^ said that Bolen borrowed the knlf \ about twenty m'lles from Columbia^ and waited until within two miles of Columbia to cut himself. When the knife was taken from him Bolen said, "Let me finish it; I want to lie." INCOME TAX IN ENGLAND. Static-inn Makes un Interesting Report. A report which constitutes an important contribution to current discussion of the proposed income tax s made to the bureau of manufacures of the department of commerce iud lal>or by Charles M. Pepper, the iimini wno nas oeen investi- j gating fiscal affairs In Europe. Mr 1 Pepper says that for the fiscal year j ending March 31, 1909, the revenue j from the Income tax In Great Brit- ' In was $165,000,000. This tax in T908 was the greatest single source .of revenue, exceeding the excise imoostB by $1,500,000 and the customs receipts by $23,000,000. Income under $800 are exempt from the tax and graduated abate nents are allowed on income between $800 and $2,500. The lowest rate in the last half century has been a "ruction over on" cent on the dollar Since 1896 the highest rate has been about 30 cents to the five dollars in 1907 the yield was $159,000,000. is against $90,000,000 in 1899. { Every year reveias incomes previously covered up. Mr. Pepper shows that the principal source of the tax comes under the group of businesses and professions and particular properties, such is railways, canals and mines and "oreign and colonial securities. The next leading source of revenue is from profits from the ownership of houses and lands. AFRAID OF BEING SEIZED Woman Worried l>y Stories of the Whilo Slaves.

' ^ BI6 WHY SPAIN IB BEHIND THB OTHI BR GHRAT NATIONS. She AHbws Only Roman Catholics to Use Symbols of Religion in Her Borders. The restriction under which non- _ Roman Catholic religious denominations must worship in Spain has been made the subject of an Investigation by the State Department.

By authority of the constitutional provision that no other .ceremonies nor manifestations of religious wor snip shall be permitted In public ] execpt those of the Catholic religion. t a croas or other emblem or religion Is never permitted to be erected up- 1 on a Protestant edifice, Bald Mr. Collier. *t He stated that within the last few , years when a cross was erected upon a church at Barcelona, the King himself wrote a letter which resulted ' In the cross being removed.. I Generally the door of a Protestant church Is permitted to open upon . the public street, reported Mr. Collier, although It is not allowed dur- 1 Ing service, to remoin open so as 1 to attract attention to the worship. Distinctly eccleastlcal architect- 1 ure calculated to proclaim the build- ' lng as a seat of a form of worship ] Is not allowed, or at least the Prot- i estant have refrained from such form of architecture, he added. The minister Bays that there was more toleration shown toward Protestant worship at the date when he reported than there had been fifteen or twenty years before. Married In Water.

The address was principally In the form of an answer to what Mr. Irvine styled Mr. Carnegie's criticism of Socialism in one of the iron master's books "Mr. Carnegie.' said the speaker, "scatters libraries broadcast for the working men, but works his laborers twelve hours a day so that they won't have time to read the books. "There are 17,000 men In the Carnegie plants, yet only 120 work eight hours a day. The rest work twelve hours a day and seven days a week. "Mr. Carnegie, at a dinner of forty-five of his associates, dwelt on the fact all but two or then^ had been workmen in the steel plants, and the entire forty-five were now millionaires as the. result of their steel holdings. "This he advanced as an argument in favor of the present condition of things. We do not want a few big men at that awful cost; the cost is too dear. What we want is a general uplift of workmen."

The former Is under a sentence of life imprisonment and the latter is sentenced to serve a term of twenty-five years. The prisoners were taken first to \ si !e room to say good bye, as the rules of the prison would not permit them to see each other again. Mrs. Boyles threw her arms around "Jimmy's" neck and kissed hltn. She said. "We must take it the best we can." The matron escorted Mrs. Boyle from the room. She burst into tears and asked to be permitted once again to see her husband. The request was granted and she again kissed and embraced Boyle. When Mrs. Boyle gave her belongings to the matrons, she asked permission to keep a small mirror she carried, saying. "I do not want to leave it behind, as that would make me have seven years of bad luck." The mirror was returned to her and she will be allowed to keep it in her cell. * Boyle and his wife sat together and held each other's hands during the entire journey from the scene of their trial. RherlfT Chess said he was glad to get the prisoners out of his ens tody, as he was afraid they would he able to rarrv out their announced intention to commit suicide. The sheriff stated he believed Boyle had intended to kill his wife and then suicide with a razor the sheriff found In the kidnapper's tie today. Neither prisoner would deny that this was true. It has been decided, so far as Mrs. Boyle is concerned, at least, that no appeal will be asked for. The severity of the sentence imposed upon the pair appalled Merer where 1t was pronounced. Both prisoners collnpsed in court upon being sentenced and had to be carried from the room. Hardly had they reached their cells when word was criven out that the woman had taken roison during last night and had rnT"w'v esc"ped death at her own h**n Is and that a razor had been found concealed in Boyle's clothing Before this thrill had lost its force Povle grtve out h'? statement Implicating Harvv Yorker, brother of Mrs. Whttla. in the kidnapping case.
