A Practical Example.

In bridgeport, Ct, there is n man
named Sanford who, until recently,
owned corner lot near the courthouse
1t was one of these object lesson lots
that single tax men like to refer to in
their speeches. vacant, unimprovcd
piece of land in the heart of the city,
Mr.. Sanford was offered for this proper
ty $4,000 about year or SO ago, but
would not sell it. 1t is customary there
for property owners to place valua-
ton on their property to aid the tax as
SCISSORS in their work. At the last as
sessment Mr.. Sanford thought he would
be aiding the assessors by valuing the
lot referred to at 81, 900. But this time
his valuation was not accepted. The
assessors had heard of the S75, 900 offer
They mentioned the fact to Mr.. San
ford, and told him that, as he had re-
fused SIS, 900, the lot must be worth
$50, O00 and they would therefore assess
it at the customary one-third of it's nm
doubted value, which would be $50, 600.
And so they did. Whereupon. what
did Mr.. Sanford do? Within a month
from the time when the assessment was
levied he started tho foundations of a
big building.
Mr.. w. J. Gorsuch. of Bridgeport,

cant lot prominent example of the
evils of the present system-an exam
pie he had often used in his speeches;
but he thinks he has gained very good
example of the good effects of apply
ing the entering wedge of the single
tax.
Mr.. Gorsuch has gained more than no
has lost. 1t is not hard to find plenty
of land held vacant because the assess
ments are SO low that a man can make
more. all things considered. by holding
them for an increase in value than he
can by improving them. 1t is not hard
to find whole districts whose growth
and industry has been paralyzed by the
withholding of land from use. What
we need is more of the other examples
What is wanted is movement that
shall force the assessors to value vacant
unimproved land at something like its
true value. This is one of the most
practical and practicable first steps it.
the direction Of the single tax. 1t,
good effects will be seen and felt imme
diately, as in the case of Mr.. Sanford
and, once seen, it will not need much
argument to show the people what will
be the effect of applying the single tax
in its fulness.

SURE ENOUGH FIRE FIEND.
Mysterious Flames That Puzzle the
People of Scranton.

SCRANTON. Pa, April 2sr-ISpecial Tele-
gram to THE BEE. IN. f., Shafer, an insur-
ance agent of this city whoae Office is in the
Oddfellows' building on Wyoming avenue,
is evidently The object of-the vindictive of
some person or persons Not fewer than
eighteen attempts have been made in the last
three weeks to set fire to his office. These
incendiary efforts were preceded by three
attempts at burglary. The first of these re-
suited in loss of about IS to Mr.. Shafer.
The safe was opened by the combination lock
in the same way as in the case of most re-
markable series Of robberies that
have recently occurred in this city.
A short time after the burglars
had visited the office the incendiaries made
their appearance and their operations have
been so mysterious as to set the town think
ing. Eleven times in one day fire was dis
covered in Mr. Shafer's Office, and had not a
strict watch been kept and buckets of water
have been destroyed. The fire started up
mysterlously among Mr.. Shafer's papers
even while the Office boy and himself were
the only occupants of the room. Both were
at loss to account for the curious phenome-
non. At intervals of about an hour
up as if kindled by magic. A
watch was then set upon the Office night and
day, but strange occurrences still tormented
the place. The keyhole was found blocked a
few times with wire and the windows were
fastened as if to mock all precautions. On
April II five fires were started and extin-
guished, and on Saturday evening about 6
o'clock another fire was found. The flames
this time came from three coats that hung on
a rack in the rear of the room. The fire was
extinguished before any serious daamge was
done. The mystery of this strikingly curl
Gus chapter of occurrences is not yet
solved and the whole affair is made
more puzzling from the fact that Janitor
Hitler, who was arrested last Monday on sus-
picion of having something to do with the
fires, has not been in the building since cx-
cept for few minutes on Friday to deliver
up his keys. He was not then in Shafer's
office.
Chemists Cox & Koemel have investigated
the matter and have come to the conclusion
that the fires have been caused by some fluid,
the composition of which they have not
made public, which has been sprinked on
various objects in the room.
Janitor Hitler was given hearing before
Judge Archibald this morning. There was
no evidence indicating his guilt and he was
therefore discharged.

Attorney Powers, in opening the case for
the defense, declared that the killing Of
Casey by Plenty Horses would be admitted,
and that they would endeavor to show that the
act was committed during a time Of war;
that Plenty Horses mind was on fire by
uniting in the Messiah craze, and that the
Indians and the American government were
engaged In open hostllities.
Phillip II. Wells, commander of scouts
under the government, was then placed on
the stand and the second question led TO an
argument of hours in length as to whether
the government at the time OF the murder
was at war with the Indians.
The court decided to take the question
under advisement and will render a decision
tomorrow which will virtually settle the case.

"Anotner frightful atrocity similar to those
committed by Jack the Ripper is reported
from Benthen on the Polish frontier. The
body of woman was found this morning be-

some of them about the head and face being
made evidently with the intention OF battling

ROME, April 2T.-The correspondent Of the
Associated press today had talk with a
high ecclesiastical parsonage acquainted with
papal views on the school question in the
United States. He said in part: "What
seems necessary here from a Catholic point
Of view is moderation and not precipitation.
The general course to be pursued, however,
is quite manifest. Catholics IN America
should have parochial schools in all parishes
where it is possible and where there is
sufficient means to render them equal to
public schools. Where it is impossible to do
this schools should be established in which
the catechism may be taught, or the state
should be persuaded to permit instruction in
catechism outside of hours regularly ap-
pointed for ordinary subjects, as is done in
Germany. One thing is absolutely obliga-
tory, and that is to found no parochial schools
unless they can be put on a level with those
of the state. AT present Catholics in the
United States cannot rival the state schools,
as they have not sufficient resources. The
vatican has confidence in the zeal and tact of
the hierarchy in America"
"Do you believe that the demands of Arch
bishop Ireland will be acceded to by the
stateSn
II cannot answer you positively on that
point. But one should always endeavor to
Beside the various states have shown them
selves very respectful towards Catholicism.
They do not appear inspired with a secta-
rian idea. They are equitable, conciliatory
and tolerant. Moreover ii Is to their inter-
est to show themselves courteous and favor
able towards Catholic demands. The United
States have derived so many benefits from
religious peace and their wise policy has
brought such high renown that they cannot
depart from these principles. The states
as well as the Catholics should
give proof of a desire for concllation
and of broadness of views. No chance of
crisis should be permitted, for every crisis
would open period of misfortune and diff
Guilty. The holy see has complete confidence
in the zeal, tact and prudence Of the Roman
Catholic hierarchy in America. 1t has here
tofore followed the path of prudence, loyalty
and patriotism. May it continue so. AS to
the exceedingly absorbing question of ma
tionality in the west it is necessary to start
from the same principles of conduct. There
should be much prudence and wisdom and no
violence. The holy see councils concliation
and pacification. In any case time will in
evitably settle all such conflicts After one
generation is past divisions and differences
will disappear. 1t is, however, the duty of
all Catholics to range themselves on national
and constitutional ground. The United
States would have a very simple means of re-
straining conflicts should any arise by law
regulating immigration into the states. But
the church does not enter into these ques-
tions, which are quite outside her province

WASHINGTON, April 27-A Star reporter
this afternoon asked Director of the Mint
Leech for an explanation Of the statement
made by him Saturday that there was an
available cash balance Of S25S 600 in the
treasury. Leech said he holds that gold and
silver certificates amounting to $403,OO0, 900
represent trust money; that Is, the coin has
been deposited by individuals and the gov
ernment has issued a certificate to pay back
the same on demand. Possibly the fund of
$1,000, 900 placed with the treasury by ma
tional banks for keeping the currency
i'll good condition is trust money,
but as congress has just ordered
the money placed by national banks
for retirement, the circulation to be covered
into the general balance, it is difficult to con-

S25S, ,000, 600, Leech holds, belongs absolutely

says, "the available balance in the treasury
