FALL AND WINTER ASSORTMENT
Just ut this time there is considerable
rush and hustle around the establish
mcnt Of our old friend Charley sea-
bright, the Centre Wheeling merchant
tailor. He has just returned from the
East with the largest and best assorted
stock Of goods ever brought to this city,
and that i what the folks are
looking ut. He has the finest
styles of Worsted Suitings, Beaver Tri-
cots, Melons, Fur Beavers, Cassimercs
and Vcstings.
As far as regards the stylish and cx-
cclIent way in which he gets up his work,
it is not necessary for us to speak, as he
has established his reputation in that par
tlcular. Very few really know what an
extensive business Mr.. Scnbright
is carrying on unless they
see for themselves. He has
three large rooms filled with the best OF
workmcn, and not II garment is allowed
to leave the house without being first
class in every respect. Those who are
In want Of fall or winter clothing should
call and examine his stock before pur-
chasing elsewhere. Charley or his gem

That birds, however apparently safely hung ia
cages. are unsafe from the hkuI and cunning Of
the cat, may be gathered from many instances
OF the extraordinary leaps they are capable OF
making to attain their prey. We are told BY Il
reliable authority that when his cat was year
old, he was seen several DAYS in succession to
take his position on q showcase feel high
hcking his chops, while watching canary in a
cage, suspended f.om the ceiling feet from
the case. The ceiling was II feet high from
the floor, and the cage an ordinary cylndrl-
cal one. Willie thus observing thu cat,
aud thinking how remote was his
chance Of piunder, the animal suddenly
sprung at the cage and caught bis claws in 1t.
His weight swnos lhe cage up against the cell
ing, apuling seed aud water, aud terrifying The
canary. After swinging to and fro for several
times the car dropped to the floor uninjured.
Our informant measured the distance FROM the
top OF the cage, snd found it to be 10 feet 60
that the Cat made ascent OF 6 feet in 8, or up-
on an incline OF nearly So degrees. TIE sur
prise hee is that the BIRD escaped; for it is dur
ing its terror, mud while beating itself flom eide
to side Of the cage, that the hooked claws OF the
cat are prepared TO receive it; and it any pot-
tlon Of the bird is caught, it is rapidly pulled
through the wire and the cat and bir6 disappear
before the spectator can recover hls aatoulsh-

CRICKET.
LET Us DEoBGANIZE.

To the Editor of The Chtcaoo Tribune:
CHICAGO. Aug. 21.-Permit me to suggest tho
propriety Of M immediate reorganization OF the
Chicago Cricket Club, to the end that game
NAV bo PLAYED with the Boetons this week upon
the occasion Of their visit here to cross clubs
With the White Stockings. The Bostons are fine
crioketers, as their recent game in st. Louis
plainly shows, while their record across the At
lantic establishes the fact that they are capable
Of handling the willow in true English style.
presume they are. ae club, the - boss " crick-
eters in America, and am certain that matetial
can be found in this city for the formation Of an
eloven that would strain their nerves sufficiently
to elicit tho fine points Of the game, and thus
present an opportunity rarely enjoyed here to
witness tilst-ciass cricket match. As time ia
short suggest that cricketors interested im-
mediately hand III their names to Mr. Richard
Street, First National Bank, in order that tue
necessary sepa may be taken. and that cricket
may once again loom up in this CITY.
Let us have a long list Of names, 4 harmony
Of action. aid unan,misT OF purpose, and then
will Chicago, as Of gore, boast Of cricket club
that will soon be able to creditAbly compete with
the best clubs Of the land. r. H. HARcouRT.

EQUALIZATION,

Proposition in tho State Board to Ex.

BpsrsaF1E1p, ILL.,. Aug. 21.-In the State
Board of Equalization this morning, Mr. Whit
ney offered the following resolution, which was
made the special order for next Thursday
morning at o'clock: "
Resor<d That In tho assessment Of capital stock II
cornorstions the Committee Capital Stock Ia here
by instructed to exempt from such assessment the
capital stock Of all companies aud associations organ
ing or for the publishing Of newspapers, for the
improving and breeding OF stock. pursuant 70 act
entitled " An act for the assessment Of property aud
for tho levy and collection Of approved March
g. 1871 passed BY thu Twenty General Assembly,
md approved April 10, 1915.
Mr, Warner offered tho following, which Was
made the special order for Wednesday morning
next At 9 o'clock.
Resoiued, That, in the opinion Of this Board, the
real and persona property Of the State assesaed for
tho year i8!5 At So per cent Of its eash value.
The Board adjourned till Monday morning at
o'clock.
The first Of these resolutions, which, It will be
seen, aims to carry out the letter and spirit Of
the amendment to the Revenue Law passed last
winter, will have considerable strength. and it is
by no means certain that it will be defeated. It is
not generally koovn that the amendment to the
Revenue law was prepared in the Auditors Office
last winter, but such is the fact and Gen. Lip
p,ncott gave hs personal influence ana at.en-
ton to secure its passage through the Leg
isature. These facts, on becoming known to
the Board, may tend to influence the passage OF
the resolution.
Tue second resolution will doubtless be adopt
ed. It il remembered that the assessment Last
year was declared to be 60 per cent Of the cash
value Of the property of the State. The ASSESS
ment this year 1alls below that OF last year ~
per cent, and there has certainly been an in
crease OF property in the StAte. so that, to be
logical, it could not we'll be declared that this
assessment was more than IS per cent OF the
cash value,

believed that the Athletic managers were appre-

Next Friday afternoon the Red Stockings, Of

they hold respectively first And second place in
