A GRAND PLAZA.

Joaquin Miller, in his gossippy letters
to the Chicago Times, says: The Grand
Plaza of Mexico is certainly the most
historic spot in America. Quebec, with
the blood of Montcalm and Wolfe and
Montgomery and Arnold on her storied
stones, appeals to us strangely. But
here on this spot stood the temple to tho
the deck of his brigantinc, sixty of his
valiant soldiers sacrificed to the great
stone idol, now in yonder museum.
Here he imprisoned Montezuma; here he
found the sealed-up chamber, with its
heaps and heaps of gold and precious
stones. Here he slew the six hundred
Aztec mobiles; here, and hercabouts, he
and his Spanish soldiers slew more than
two hundred thousand of these helpless
and docilc little brown Aztecs! And
here, after he had destroyed the old city
entirely and built new one and died,
was found, a century after, the marvel
Gus calendar stone," the Aztec alma
mac. And here was found the "sacri-
flee stone" that Surmounted the temple
to the sun.
When you read in the guide-book that
this stone weighs twenty-five tons, and
wien you see that the calendar stone,
N.,h its thousands of wonderful figures,
is r4arly ten feet across, then, and then
Only, are you ready to read Prescott
And you are ready, too, to believe all
that he has to tell you of the terrible
scenes that have taken place on this
Grand plaza.
1t was only little time ago that the
gardener-this plaza was made q beau
tiful garden by notwithstanding up, or
rather laid bare, with his little six-inch
spade, the nose of an idol. The govern
ment was notifcd-the same laws exist
here as in Italy to govern such cases
and inspection followed,
The result was, three huge idols
each weighing at least q ton, | should
say--were unearthcd, and are now ly-
ing on their backs in the museum,
awaiting their turn to be again set on
their feet. They had been badly batter
ed and badly burned by Cortez in his
attempt to destroy them. But, like the

The Harmonists.

George Rapp. founder OF the sect OF
Harmonists, in Pennsylvania, was born
in Wurtemberg, Germany, in 1770, and
died at Economy Pa, in lS47. Belicv-
ing that he had divine call, and was
charged with the restoration of the
Christian religion TO its original purity,
he organized Il community on the model
of the primitive church, holding goods
in common. A difficulty with the gov
ernment in regard to worship impelled
Rapp to transplant his community in
1903 from Wurtcmburg to the United
States. They settled first in Butler coun-
ty, Pa, where they founded the village
OF Harmony, and employed themselves
in agriculture and manufactures. They
acquired considerable wealth, and in
1915 removed to the Territory of Indiana.
where they purchased tract of $1,000
acres on the Wabash. The settlement
of New Harmony here prospered even
more than their former establishment,
but in 1924 they sold their property to
Robert Owen and emigrated to Beaver
county, Pa, where the town of Econo-
my was laid out on the right bank of
the Ohio, seventeen miles northwest of
Pittsburg There was secession OF
about 200 members in 1882. 1t is an

Gen. Hancock's Poor Memory.

An intimate friend of Gen, Hancock,
in speaking Of the dead Generals per-
sonal pcculiaritcs, said I'm most things
the General was the soul of eXactness,
but in money matters he was laughably
thoughtlcsS. He would frequently come
over to the city without cent in his
pocket. On discovering his moneyless
condition a look of helpless surprise
would come over his face, and winkng
his eyes in that peculiar manner usual
with him when he was puzzled, he would
say: We'll, | declare! haven't got
cent viii you lend me some money!
Of course, the pocket-book of every one
was open to the General, but he would
only accept quarter or at most half a
dollar, and 60 off uptown rs happy rs
schooi-boy. He always gave the loose
change in his pocket to bcggars or or
gan-grinders, and was lucky if he saved
enough TO get him downtown again.
One day he climbed up the stairs OF tho
Twenty-third Street Elevated Station
and began TO tumble in his pockets for
money, Five cents was all he could
find, and after winking at the nickel
for n moment he returned to the street
and took the Broadway horse-car for
Bowling Green.
sin regard to letters and papers. how
ever, the General was wonderfully exact
He always kept every letter he received
and had them answered and carefully
filed away. His daily mail was enor-
nous, and begging letter from an I'M
known person was as promptly answer
ed and as carefully as one from cabi-
net minister. He was most punctilious
about returning salutes. No one, no
matter who he was, ever saluted the
General without getting q salute in re-
turn. On pleasant days he was fond of
walking about Governors Island and
personally inspecting the work going on
there. If in his walk he met party of
strangers who saluted him he would re-
spond by courteously lifting his hat,
and would frequently add: Glad to
zee you on the island. IN \. Tri-

BUTCH" RDONALD'S SCHEMES.
The Various Plots of His Gang to Take Re-

The trial of VIM. L. Wallace, charge with be-

guilty to conspiracy and arson, was continued in
tho Criminal Court yesterday. jeff billiard tes-
tilted that about ten gallons of coal oil wero
found on the old shingles and paper in the attic
of McDonald's saloon, and yet they could not
get a blaze Mcdonald wanted to tell his
story of the affair on the witness
stand yesterday, but the prosecution
did not think his purpose was in
the interest of justice, it being the opinion that
he wonld shield Wallace at the expense of the
Billiards, who. he says conceived the scheme.
The Billiards not only informed the officers OF
the plan to burn the saloon, but aided them in
effecting the arrests. Several methods, since
they have been in Jail, have been talked over by
Mcdonald and his companions in the crime by
which they could get the Billiards into prison and
to trial for completely in the scheme 1t was
even thought of by them. Mcdonald asserting
to have him (McDonald) shoulder Inc burden of
the crime, and seek release on the ground of in
sanity. But they either did not have the nerve
to carry any one of these plans out or the prose
cution's case against all of them was too much
to effectually resist.

Loss of Taxes To the Township.

For number of years large tracts of unplat-
ted ground formerly within the city lines, were
carried the city assessors books as being sub
ject to city taxes When tax-paying time came
the owners would go to the auditor and have
this property certified off the duplicate as fa- as
city taxes were concerned, and upon it they then
paid only State and county taxes At that time
the latter amounted to y cents on the $780,
while the city tax was ST. H. or in all ST. a. The
State, county and township tax amounted to
$l.18 If the city could not collect taxes
on this property because the owners
claimed it could not tax more than
FIVE acres of unplatted ground, the township
tax ought to have Been assessed upon it, but un-
I'll a few days ago this property remained off the
the township assessors books. Assessor Quill
discovered the error by which taxes were thus
lost TO the township. and restored the property
to where it riGhtfully belongs. By escaping the
erty was not subject to such charges. the owners
paid only State and county tax. For examples:
When the city, county and State taxes were in
all ST. 81, the cancelling of the citys portion left
only ~ cents which was paid. But the town
ship, county and States taxes being ST. Is, the
township lost the difference between that
amount per 800 of valuation and the 70 cents
which was 56 cents. The property is now all
right for township tax charges, and Will yield
several thousand dollars.

The ''Kingn Of Them All.

Messrs. Hennrickson, Letter g. Co., of this
city, were visited last week by a syndicate of
New York capitalists which proposed to nego-
tiate for the right to sell the celebr rated "Rexs
hat in the city of New York, but the offer was
refused by our enterprising hatters, who desire
to control in the future az they have in the past
this world-renowned brand of hats. In style and
finish they rival any hats known in the market,
and they are made in all shapes and colors The
merchants in Indiana and Illinois are particular
ly fortunate in having the source of supply so
near to them. In addition to the Rex" which
these parties control exclusively, and in the sale
of which they are protected by trade mark, they
are sole agents for the annex" hat which, for
the price, cannot be excelled and their general
stock of all grades of hats is complete and worth
the attention of dealers.
A walk through this establishment is very in
terestins. There are three floors of the large
building, No. 81 South Meridian street, occupied
by them, and to the visitor there seemed to be
hats enough to cover all the heads in Indiana.
On the second floor is the glove and cap depart
ment; and here the force of clerks was busy ar
ranging the immense stock for the fall trade.
Among the many kinds of gloves, this firm is
handling, as exclusive agents, the celebrated
'.Argali" and "Marmoset" gloves, than which
there is nothing better in the market. Every
pair is warranted.
Incidentally. one of the firm mentioned that
the stock of fur caps would soon be ready for in
spection, and that by winter arrangements
would be perfected for full line of seal-skin
goods
This house always buys for spot cash, and they
are thus enabled to undersell all competitors
Dealers should bear this in mind, and inspect
this fine stock when they visit the city. They
are always welcome
