THEY GAVE THEM FLOWERS.

tonians Last Night.

An Enthusiastic Audience Wit
messed ''Fatinitza" by the Bos-
tOnians Last Night.
The presentation of 'Fatinitza'' by
the BoStonianS last evening was notable
in many respects, and inspired by very
enthusiastic audience, that filled even
the aisles, the company worked con-
scientiouSly, with splendid effect. A
criticism of the opera is unnecessary.
Miss Stone and Miss Huntington re-
ceived an ovation. In front the
st. George SnOwshOe club, number
ing seventy-five, appeared in uniform.
At the end of one OF Miss Stones songs,
the club presented her an elegant
basket of flowers. A pretty little thing
happened at the close of the duet in the
harem between Miss Stone and Miss
Huntington. The st. Georges handed
across the fOotlightS an exquisite floral
heart intended for Miss Huntington.
She, with unaffected modesty, thought
it was meant for Miss Stone,
and running to the entrance
called her back. Miss Stone
motiened as much as to say, mo, it is
for you," and disappeared. A storm OF
applause went up, and Miss Huntington
with charming embarrassment again
dragged Miss Stone to the stage by main
force. Miss Stone again managed to
break loose, and in sheer desperation
Miss Huntington advanced to the foot
lights and took the flowers, when a
thunder of applause plainly showed her
that the heart was intended for her.
The audience was quite fashionable
one. The left hand lower box was oc-
cupied by DR.. and Mrs. A. j. S tone,
l.. K. Stone and wife and Miss Stone.
The right hand lower box contained
Mr.. and Mrs. J. r. McMurran. Miss
Williams, Miss Bennett and Mr.. Brooke

The same custom of marriage by cap
ture was known in Scandinavia. In an
old church in GOthland, in Sweden, a
pile of lances is preserved. Each of the
lances is fitted to hold torch, and it is
sold the weapons were used at one time
to five light and protection to married
parties on the way to church.
A recent writer describing a mar
riage in Khurdistan, says he saw a
young man carrying off his bride, sur
rounded by. body guard of some
twenty or thirty men. These men were
supposed to be protecting the happy
couple from a party of young women.
The cheapest and simplest transaction
of the kind appears to prevail in Lap
land 1t is said that If one in that
country asks the father of marriage
able girl to take drink and the offer is
accepted the understanding is that the
person giving the treat is accepted as
the girls sutton.
1t seems that in Mexico there is a
large percentage of bachelors, but very
small percentage of unprotected
females. The anomaly. is explained by
the fact that the Mexican on his mar
rage chivairOusly undertakes the care
of the female relatives and dependents
of his wife.
Marriage by purchase. which is an
other very old custom, prevails amongst
many modern peoples. The Babylonians
and Assyrians reduced it to system.
At certain times every year the mar
riageabie wOmen were brought into the
market place and eventually put up at
auction.
The day of that particular form of the
romance of cOurtship which had its cul-
mination at Gretna Green has passed
away. Scotland still, however, presents
facilities for marriage which are not en-
joyed in England. The ceremony may
be legally performed there at any hour
and at any place.

and as Judge SimOnS contemplateS TAX

The Old Peoples Mutual Benefit so
ciety and Insurance Commissioner
Shandrew's order revoking a former
order annulling the license of the soci-
ETY. in Minnesota are the subjects of
another caustic article in last weeks
issue of Insurance. The article is
headed 1.-The Conduct of an 1mbecile,"
and contains some bitter criticism on
the course of the commissioner. In
Surance Commissioner Shandrew has
suspended the order revOking the IL
cense of the Old Peoples Mutual Benefit
society,"" says the article, upon a
stipulation by Secretary Lumbert that
the society in Minnesota shall be good
hereafter. We do not understand this
action. 1t is probably due 10 an incura-
BILE weakness Of the official backbone.
Surely the society has not been essen
TALLY changed. We haze no desire to
influence Commissioner Shandrew any
further. He is no more of the slightest
account. Our work upon Shandrew is
complete. He is knocked out. But for
the general public, we may say that,
essentially vicious character of the
Old Peoples concern, the society
never had the slightest claim in
law for admission to Minnesota. and the
insurance commissioner is wholly with
out authority to license it. The statute
applying to assessment companies eli
gible to license requires that they shall
be such as derive their funds from vol
untary donations or admission fees, dues
and assessments, or any of them, col
lected or TO be collected from the men,
berS." This is not the case with the
Elkhart society. The insurance COM
missioner of Minnesota has just as
much authority, under the law, to
license faro bank. The society itself
has been put in the way of ultimate ex-
tinctiOn, and Shandrew himself, at the
expiration of his present term of office,
will find it impossible to procure re-
newal of his own license" These are
the words of insurance.

THE COUNTY'S FINANCES.
Interesting Facts Cleaned From
the Auditors Abstract of Tax
Levy


Levy.
County Auditor Kahn has Just COM
pleted piece of work the magnitude of
which is but only half appreciated. 1t is
the big job of finishing the tax books
forty-eight hours ahead of time. He
turned them over to Treasurer REM
yesterday. Now the same thing has to
be done for Assessor Beaumont. When
Mr.. Kahn took hold of the Office the
books were so far behind that it was
thought he would not catch up during
his first term. But he has had seven
men hard at work for three months, and
now thirty-two books of $50 pages each,
with six sets of figures, embracing the
entire tax list in detail of Ramsey
county, have been placed with the county
treasurer. He has done very COM
mendable thing for the CONVEX
fence of taxpayers in the
the descriptions are now down in black
and white upon the books, lot by lot.
He estimates that the number of plats
thus Subdivided is about 800, neceSSitat-
ing the writing down of 10000 more de-
ScriptiOnS than before. Since the val
uation of 1856 large number of new
plats have been filed. This is an off
year in real estate, and if the plats had
not been Subdivided into blocks and lots
by the auditor, the tax account would
have continued to be placed to the debt
OF the original platter, who doubtless
has sold q lot here and there until the
entire plat has been disposed of to pro-
miScuOus purchasers. Now, the owner
of any particular lot in any of
these platS can at once pay his
taxes upon it. This is thing that can
not fail to be very largely appreciated
by all real estate men.
WHAT THE ABSTRACT SHOWS.
The abstract of the tax list for Ram
sey county for 1887 shows the following
totals; Number of acres of land, exclu-
sive of town and city lots, 60,152; total
value of land and structures, excluding
town and city lots, 1856, 121: average
value per acre, $52.15; total value town
and city lots, including structures, S72,-
244, 632; total value of personal property,
;s17,79S, $50; grand total valuation of the
county, 1914, 299, $50. The total taxes
upon this, on basis of from IL TO 20
mills, will amount to 81, 1861. O95.OS, dis
tributed as follows: State revenue,
soldiers relief and forestry funds, S179,-

THEKAISER NOT A DEADHEAD
Emperor Wilhelm Pays Fare for
Himself and Family.

AS regards the mooted question
whether the emperor travels free
of expense ON the Prussian rail-
roads, it is now positively stated that,
with but single exception, the en-
per0r, as well as the members of the i'm
perial family, neither enjoys nor claims
the privileges of free passes, says the
Paris Register. That exception is the
short track of the Main Wesser railroad
between Cassel and Frankfort-on-the-
Main, on which the emperor alone, as
successor of the elector of Hesse. pays
no fare either for himself and his suite.
nor for baggage; the princes and
princesseS of the imperial family are,
however, deprived of this privilege.
On all the other German railroads the
emperor pays the regular tariff fare for
his person and suite, as we'll as for the
baggage. The average rate is six marks
per kilometer for every axle, and in
view of the fact that his majesty travels
many thousands of kilometerS in the
course of year the railways have a
good customer in him.
