Among the first Of President Cleye-

his refusal to play o star engagement on
sunday, for which he had been Literally
billedi without iris consent. It was his
purpose to be irregular attendant at the
New York avenue Presbyterian church,
which Is within d short distance Of the
white House, and whose pastor Is one Of
the most popular preachers in Washing
Inn As soon as the President intention
was known, "the price Of pews went up,

Baltimore Sm. r 2f'7T,3l
Governor Wilson's vigorous opinions
on the question Of railroad corporations
were well known during the campaign
last fall, and were a matter Of concern in
national Democratic political circles, WHO
feared he would be antagonized on that
account "a Baltimore and Ohio official
said yesterday that! In January last the
company paid over $S7, 900 to the Board OF
Public Works OF West Virginia for taxes:
Last year they paid in taxes over $50 GOO,
out q q total of some Size, GOO paid by all
railroads in the State. He said the as:
sessed yaluati ions Of all the property Of
the Baltimore e Ohio railroad are fully.
up 10 the valuations in any other State
through which the system Is operated.
Moreover, the greater portion Of the State
through which. the road runs was prior to
It's construction almost an inaccessible
wilderness. Towns and villages now exist
on its lines where in some cases scarcely
hamlet could then DO found. "A large
number Of the company's workshops
have been eonstraeted within the limits
OF that State, affording employment to
thousands Of its citizens The stop
page Of the railroad would result
In the, almost total decay OF sew
eral 81 its. most populous towns. He
said the company has paid oil the taxes
demanded BY the State, county and local
corporate governments. In the last year
or two a. claim has been made for an
especial high assessment on the two
bridges across the Ohio river. The com.
pany,has foriyears paid taxes on the basis
Of ayaluation Of the surface tracks over
these bridges, the same Us on any other
part Of their road.bed. They consider
this q fair valuation, and 1t ID the only
point ii6f difference that has come up.
Gov Wilson says there shall be no great
ercharges for freight or passengers for o
shorter than a longer distance In the same
direction. This and other matters the
Baltimore & Ohio officials decline to dis
clss. He said the. question Of charges at
competitive and non.compe itive points,
and III short and long hauis, Is In con.
troyefsy an over the country, and OF every
city, town and local railway station, He
thought Gov, Wilson's expressions on
these points as strongly draw n as they
are in his reference to- the taxation OF
those corporate monopolies.n M Z

"A Dreary Sport.

Ii was not to be expected that the roller
skate would escape the keen commercial
eve r. Of the enterprising men who are
always on the look out 70 turn sport into
cold dollars. Butunlsss the long distance
roller skating race shall prove more at
tractiye TO the public and more profitable
to the j management than tina. Of last week
in New York, its career will be short and
inglorious. q eH5 !.
An the accounts agree that the race at
the Madison Square Garden was dilatory
affair. There was very little to please,
and less to excite the public. It lacked
bounce and DASH, and did not draw at the
prices. People who can see a good min
strel show, or theatrical performance for
half q dollar will not pay dollar to see
six tired men rolling round mo crowds,
no - pttal,g,eaaintry, no enthusiasm, no anything
but the same swollen limbs, the same los
treless eyes straining for the goal. At
least they didn't in New York On the

Fancy skating on rollers can be made
yery attractive by reason Of the grace and
beauty Of the eyolutions; a dash for speed
Is worth looking at but long distance

doesn't Epayfthe managers Of the show.

Among the exiles who had sought this
far.away refuge from neutrality-suspicious.
were military chieftains who had turned
the tide Of battle on some Of the most
sanguinary fields Of European, yalor, and
courtly danes who had figured in all the
luxury and brilliance of the best days u
the empire. Generals, who, at the head
Of the superb soldiery Of Trance, had
done the bloody work Of their imperial
master at Austerlitz, Jena and wagram
didinot hesitate to grasp the az, the pillow,
and the hoe, while ve-hearted women,
who Rad shone conspicuously in the bril-
liant courts Of Josephine and Marie An
toiaette, cheerfully accepted the humble,
mental duties OF pioneer housewitery.
Conspicuous among the settlers was Count
Charles Lefebre-D esnonettes, who had
been a major general Of cavalry under Ma
poleon. He was in the full yigor Of a per-
feet manhood when he. came TO Alabama
Ian ideal sabreur. Erect in figure, and
graceful In bearing, he possessed q magnet

charm. He had followed the fortunes Of
Napoleon from Marengo TO Waterloo with
q zeal and fidelity that on more than one
occasion won the highest encominms from
the Emperor. Alter the overthrow iot the
colossal power OF Napoleon, Desnonettes
was marked for one oil the victims Of Bour-
bon hate, and In the month Of Ma, 1915,
he was condemned to dealt, without trial,
by the second cenrtmartial, OF the FIRST
military division; but In the meantime
he had found o safe refuge in the United
States. The personal relations that exist
ed between Napoleon and Desnonettes
were OF the most intimate nature. on the
retreat from Moscow they shared the same
carriage, and when Napoleon bid adleu 70
