Sidewalks.

A citizen writes: s'The glad sole-refresh- ing feeling of level, even pavement was felt by every passer.by when the Tagging on Chapel street just below lChurch street was repaired, and again recently on the north side of Chapel near State street where new Tagging was laid. One cannot but wonder that any sidewalk once leveled and paved can ever be suffered to be long wanting re- pair. This is not only true of Chapel and other principal streets and sidewalks, but of nearly all within our city limits. It surely is right to call attention to the much used pavement on the south side of the lower Green. Both our sidewalk inspector and all who who use it, especially after rain, must notice the utter unfitness of brick for paving. There may be many other brick sidewalks in a similar condition around the city, but this skirting the south side of the lower Gree demonstrates the folly and useless expense of 8 brick pavement"

The Tax Committee.

Completing the Report'Of Their Work
 A Favorable Showing.
 The Tax committee, consisting of Messrs. Troup, Twiss and Hotchkiss, representing the city, town and school district, met in the Selectmen's office last evening for the pur- pose of making up their general report of their work during the time they have been in office. At their meeting on June 3Oth they voted to recommend that all parties ap- bearing before them whose claims for relief from back taxes were apparent and had not been adjusted have until November 1st, 1888, to pay the same on basis of 6per cent. i1- terest, and that those assessed for sewers and payements be given until January 1st, 1884, to settle the same on a basis of per cent. interest. At their former meeting held on Sat- urday preceding the regular meeting of the Board of Aldermen on the first Monday in July there was not time for them to complete their report. Therefore the final report will be made at the next meeting of the Board of Aldermen, which will be held on Monday evening of newt week.
 That the committee has performed their arduous duties in faithful manner no one will doubt. While they have considered the interests of the taxpayers, they have not for gotten the duty they owed to the respective corporations who appointed them to the re- sponsible positions that they have so faith fully filled. The adjustment of taxes, assess ments and interest has been of great benefit not only to the town, city and school district but also to taxpayers, many of whom we're so burdened that they could not pay large in- terest, while many others had been unjustly assessed. All are benefited by this just act of the legislature creating this committee.
 The completed report of the committee will be presented at the next meeting of t he Board of Aldermen which will be held on next Monday evening.

 Last evening at Loomis' Temple of Music Miss Henrietta V. Davis, of Washington, gave a dramatic recital, assisted by Miss Ade- laide G. Smith and MT. Fred P. White, of Boston. As the entertainment, by mistake of the local agent, had not been properly ad- vertised there were only about seventy five persons in the hall. Miss Davis is quad room and is the only lady of her race who has ever attempted the portrayal of Shakes pearean characters on the stage. Her pro- gramme last evening included a recitation from Romeo and Juliet Portia's speech, Gle opatra's dying soliloquy, the epilogue to As You Like It and some lighter pieces, which showed wide range of dramatic power. She is graceful in movement and possesses ability which may make her famous in the histriopic worlds Miss Smith, an accomplished soprano from Boston church choir, rendered some beautiful selections with grace and power. MT. Smith proved himself clever pianist. It is to be regretted that the affair was not more widely known, as it was deserving of much more extensive patronage.

A Little Barber's Luck.

Talk With Theodore VoIgt, Who Drew
 95,OO0 i'm the LouIsIana State Lottery.
 Theodore Voigt, little German barber, was shaving customer in the tonsorial es- tablishment of Mir. Charles Baeumler, at No. 25 Avery street, when Star representative entered that place to-day. Theodore has been in the shaving and shampooing line for about two years now, and is the proprietor of the sfhird chair'o in the shop where he works. He is so small that his head scarcely comes up to the shoulder of an average sized man, and, consequently, up to within few days he has not met with that universal re- spect that is to-day accorded him. Ten days ago Theodore thought, no doubt, that he would always have to toll from seven o'clock in the morning until ten o'clock at night for just about enough wages to keep his soul and body together. What 8 transformation, then, from poverty to comparative wealth has taken place in his case! To day the al- most friendless little German has balance of $5 ,O00 to his credit in one of the city banks The object of the reporters visit was to find out the particulars of Mir. Voigt's suddenly changed fortunes. The lucky barber an swered the scribes questions, while he con- tinued to scrape the face of the man he had in hand
 "So you have struck luck, MT. Voigt?"was the first interrogation of the Star.
 ''Yes, sir |; I hit it the second time tried. About two months ago I bought my first ticket in the Louisiana State lottery, but did not draw anything I made up my mind to try it once again, anyhow, and so gave my boss one dollar with which to buy me fifth ticket for the drawing of July 10. I told my boss to buy a highiN number, and he-selected No. 95,297. That ticket drew the second capital prize, 1925, 900.
 When was the first time you heard of your good fortune?"
 IA week ago last Tuesday, when received the official list. I was shaving customer while some of my friends were looking over the list They found that my ticket was the lucky one and showed me the list. I wish you would state in the Star that I did not drop my razor and stop work as paper said did. I went right on with my work, and when 1t was finished went down and sent my ticket by express to NJ. A. Dauphin, New Orleans, La, for collection. Five thou sand dollars in clean cash was returned to me, and I am very grateful to the gentlemen who have acted so honorably with me-"
 MT. Voigt is sober, industrious and prudent young man, who will make good use of his suddenly acquired wealth. He is not one of the kind whose heads are easily turned. He was born in Marklssa, Schlesien, Germany, is 23 years of age, and is the only one of his family in this country. He has several brothers and sisters at home whom he will undoubtedly assist, and will probably open barber shop of his own in this city Boston, (Mass. ) Star, July 26.

New Fire RScape.

There will be two exhibitions of She working of a new fire escape on the west wall of the Elliott House to day at 12 o'cloek and at 5 The fire escape is the invention of George H. Thompson, of Plattsmouth, Neb. His device is simply small box of iron ex- actIy the size of two bricks, provided with a door pivoted at it's upper corners. so that it closes when not in use, The month of the box is provided with an iron bar one inch from the bottom of the box, and so arranged that it passes into 8 channel in the face of the door of the box. These bars are the rungs of a powerful iron ladder when the boxes are in the walls, and can be easily stepped upon or taken hold of by the hand from the windows. The boxes are put in the walls flush with the face, cement and iron spikes securing them. The boxes are set at distance of about three courses of brick from each other, and all that one has to do is to set the toes in one and the hands in anoth- er-and so ascend or descend. The face of the climber being close to the wall, there is no sensation of height and practically no danger of falling.

nTysterious Wound.

Last Friday Charles II. Hiscox, who re- sides in Preston, was found in Norwich on 8 public square intoxicated and with serious wound in his right arm. The wound was still bleeding and the mans clothing was soaked with partially dried blood. He was taken to police headquarters and Dr. Cassi- day dressed the wound. It was found that there was a round hole through the arm just below the elbow, close to the bone. Hiscox resolutely refused to tell where he had been or how the injury was inflicted. He was sent to his home.
