MR., ROYALS OPINION.


To the editor of the State:
In your issue of Thursday I stated MIR.
Dulany's recovery in his suit as follows lin
substance): He has 1852 recovered by the
verdict and judgment, SITS for bis costs ;
he has his tax bill receipted, and he has
his 1926 of coupons to do with as he
pleases.
A writer in yesterdays State undertakes
to prove that am mistaken. He argues
that Dulapy must surrender his coupons to
the State at her suit. deny this most en-
phalically. Dulany refused to pay his taxes
except with his coupons, and the State, re-
sorting to brute force, extorted them from
him BY sale of his property. Having done
this, her officer gave him a receipt in full
for his taxes as he should have done. Thus
his taxes were paid. After that he sued the
persons guilty of this act of brute force and
forced them to pay him 1852 damages and
SITS costs. The State has made her taxes
out of him, and he has made certain tres
passers pay him for their trespasses. How
he can now owe the State anything can't
see. So far as the averments of the declara.
ton are concerned, used printed form
that had all the necessary averments, and
many others that had nothing to do with
The case.

Mr.. Dulany's Profit by his Suit.
To The editor Of The Alexandria Gazette:

To The editor Of The Alexandria Gazette:
Sir-In your issue of the 2Sd instant you
say:
"Mr. Dulany, by his recent suit against
the State for refusing to accept coupons in
payment of taxes, protited to the extent OF
bis tax bill, amounting to $235, and 1872 in
cash, and still has his 1886 in coupons to offer
in payment of other taxes"
You are grevously in error. Mr.. Dulany
has not proited one cent by his suit. The
1852 in cash put into his pocket by the jury
simply replaced the 1852 in cash which
Koontz, treasurer of Shenandoah, had
taken out Of his pocket, 80 his cash account
is square. The 1886 coupons belong to the
State and are held by him as agent Of the
State las he alleged 10 his declaration) and
must be delivered to the State whenever
demanded. So he has NOT 1926 coupons to
offer 10 payment of other taxes. If he de-
livers these 1926 coupons when called for
by the State his tax bill will be paid. If he
refuses to deliver them his property will be
levied upon for his tax bill and there will
be no court, State or federal, to declare the
levy trespass. NJ.

that nothing else would accommodate the dc.

Running to the cashiers desk from each of
the three floors Is a complete miniature cable
railway, with nickel-plated bearings. The
car Is nickel.plated box about four by three
inches, with top lid and an adjustable grip
on the bottom. Wherever q saleslady is sta
toned there is railway station. When she
desires TO send cash TO the cashier, she puts
box on the cable, which is constantly run
ming, allows the grip to fall and it Is hurried
away at the rate of twelve feet second to
the desk. The cashier puts IL on the return

have been wrapped up the change is In the
