Bradley BarIOw's Change Of
Country.

Bradley Barlow, president OF the
Southeastern Railway company, presi-
dent of bank, eX-member of Congress,
and reputed to he worth several
millions of dollars, which he has earned
in this country, has eXpatriated him
self, leaving his elegant home in St.
Adams for one in Montreal. The rea-
son for this course is disagreement
over the amount of his tax bills. In
1881, under the operations of the new
tax law, he paid taxes on only about
500, 900 of real estate, amounting to
$500. In his sworn inventory of his
personal estate his valuation was
placed at 1868 900. and he claimed as
an offset Indebtedness to the amount
of 1912 300, So that he only paid a tax of
$500 In 1882 he refused to make Il
sworn inventory of his property us re-
quired by law, and the listers assessed
him according to their Judgment, as
the law directed, and taxed him for
81, $50. Mr.. Barlow refused to pay,
and the case was carried to the courts,
where it still remains. MIR. Barlow

Who was the first eXpressman ? Gen
eral Butler says William c. Craig car
ried on an express business between
New York and Boston as early as 1876,
and now it is reported that Deacon
Eliphalet Adams of Cabot, VT, started
an express from Montpelier to Danville,
by which any packages were carried
and errands performed ten years earlier.
1t is probable that many years earlier
than even that the carriers of the mails
in New England carried packages and

A Just Punishment.

Murderer Dukes of Pennsylvania
gets no light punishment, after all.
He was lawyer in successful prac-
tice, had good social position and
such general popularity as gave him
an election to the Legislature, and
held a fairly enviable place IN life.
Now he is an outcast, loathed and alb
horred upon every hand, thrown out
of business and forced to resign his
legislative seat, and lodges from place
to place i'm the quiet Keystone state
under threats and warnings, in no
small danger of mob violence. He is
neither condemned nor convicted
the court declared him innocent and
free,-but the mere force of public
opinion follows his horrible act with
"A Justice of its own, and takes from
his life all that could make it worth
having. This punishment would of
course fall harmless upon hardened
criminal. but Dukes, intelligent and
with something besides life and liber-
ty to lose, feels it heavily, and him
self SAWS that there is no escape.
The feeling against this man, who

The April Wheelman, which, by the
way, is the first number of the second
volume of this rapidly progressing
magazine, appears in new and very
attractive cover, one of lpsen's best
designs, which is better suited to the
excellence and success already achieved.
This cover design is, we believe, the
only one that can be ranked with that
of Vedder which adOrns the Century.
The Wheelman may now becomingly
take its place beside the few best il
Illustrated magazines, as well for its
general appearance and admirable ty-
Biography as for the illustrations and
articles. The April number opens with
an illustrated article that cannot fail
to attract attention on account of the
unique and entertaining character of
the subject. 1t is called "Pedalling on
the Piscataqua" and is a charming de-
scription of days ride on a marine
bicycle up the Piscataqua river from

are woven many interesting bits of his

Whatever slaughter may result from
