Lenrosx Is Contagious.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Dr. Cyrus Ed
son, OF the board of health, in a report
on the two Chinese Iepers who were
taken to North Brothers Island to-day,
says that the most eminent physicians
say that the disease is contagious, and
that he is himself of similar belief. He
recommends the establishment of a laZ-
arctic on the Atlantic coast for the iso-
lation of cases of leprosy.

The court unanimously holds that the
above description is only an attempt at
description. and that ii is Insufficient
as a basis of taxation, and that no valid
assessment was or could be made on
such a description. They say that the
description is not expressed i'll common
language, nor are characters and aDOre-
vIatiOnS employed such as used by con-
YeYancerS in describing real estate, nor
do the people generally use such a com
bination of words, letters and figures in
referring to or describing land. "A de-
ScriptIOn of real estate is essential to its
assessment, and there being no Suffi-
cient description in this case, there Is
no assessment and consequently no tax.
On the trial in the court below, the in
validity of the tax deed was admitted
by the defendant, but as a condition
precedent to canceling the same ana re-
moving the cloud Oh Powers land, he
wanted his money paid for the delinquent
taxes to be refunded with so per cent in
teresU. The trial court agreed with him
and rendered judgment accordingly.
This is reversed by the supreme court
on the ground that there was no valid
tax and 1t was error to require a repay
ment of worthless consideration eX-
pressed in the tax deed.
Another point OF great moment 10 the
taxpayers Of the state was also passed
upon. In this case it appears that the
board of county commissioners did not
assemble as a board of equalization at
the time required by statute. Judges
COrliss and Wallin hold that this fact is
fatal to the legality of the tax; that the
fact that the board of equalization con-
yened at later date does not cure the
omission to meet at the time and place
fixed by law. They say that the public
is not chargeable with any notice of any
meeting Of the board except that desig-
mated iii the statute. Judge BarthOlO-
new does not agree with this part of the
opinion,

Extra Session.
Special TO the Globe.
DULUTH, Aug. 15.-Senators Day, of
Paramount, and Tawney, OF Winona,
passed through this city yesterday OF
their way to Tower for a weeks fishing.
The senator from Paramount expressed
to your correspondent the opinion that
something should be done TO make
creditable showing for the state at the
worlds fair. He seemed to be ia
vorable to a special session, provided
nothing but an appropriation for the
worlds fair be allowed. The cost of
the extra session is estimated at about
g, 900. provided the legislature does not
branch out into more work. "All de
ponds on the governor" he said. ''If
he sets his foot down, and announces
that he viii veto every bill that passes
except the appropriation bill. it is
hardly probable that any other legisla-
ton will be attempted

Fatal Conflict Between The
Troops And The ex-Queen's
supporters.
(From the Ne1c York Tribune.)

Belgrade, May 18.-The Project of this
city who was charged by the Regents with the
duty of expelling ex-Queen Natalie from Ser
Wan territory. went to the ~latter's residence
to-day, and in spite of her earnest protests com
PEELED her to enter a carriage which drove
toward the quay on the Danube where the
Royal Yacht was moored.
The news that the ex-Queen was really to
be expelled from Servia had in the meantime
spread throughout Belgrade, and had reached
the students, quarters. The latter promptly
turned out in force, and as the carriage con-
tanning the unhappy woman was being driven
toward the Danube it was surrounded by a
crowd of students who seized the horses
heads, brought the vehicle to a standstill, and
loudly cheered the royal prisoner. The stu,
dents then detached the horses from the car
riage and dragged the ex-Queen, who re-
manned seated in the Projects conveyance,
back to her residence, cheering loudly as they
passed through the streets.
The Project assisted by a force Of gen.
darmes, tried in vain to regain possession of
the ex-Oueen, but the students escorted her to
her residence in spite of all the efforts
made to prevent them. On their way there
however, several collisions took place between
the gendarmes and the students, but the latter
came off victorious.
After Natalie had been taken to her residence
by the students, the Cabinet assembled inme-
diately, and late tonight the Ministers were
still in session. The citizens and merchants
generally sido the ex-Queen. The residence
of Natalie is defended by students. Intense
excitement prevails.
A conflict occurred this afternoon, the
troops firing upon the Queens supporters kill
ing two and wounding many others. The
Premier this evening received a deputation
of citizens, who asked him to intervene in the
ex-Queen's behalf.
Aware of the strong sympathy felt for
Natalie by the Opposition party in the okupS-
china and by the public in general, the govern
ment had the streets in the vicinity Of the eX-
Queens residences c%orloned early in the morning
and the public was excluded from those streets.

the subject some thought, and investi-
gated the matter while in the East on
business trips. found that the Satur-
day half-holiday was observed in all the
bex factories, but upon inquiry learned
that the number of working hours per
week was the same as here. The way
the thing is managed is to shorten the
dinner hour-make 1t one-half an hour
instead of full hour. This would
make up three hours in week, and the
factories quit work at two o'clock on
Saturday afternoon.
A prominent South Side glassworker,
who is also member of Council, said:-
81 am not in favor of the Saturday
half-holiday, nor do I approve OF the
early closing movement. Laboring
men who work all day, have no other
time to do their shopping than in the
evenings and on Saturday afternoons.
l heartily approve of anything which
will tighten the work OF the clerks and
salesladies In the stores, but If their
hours are to be shortened, why not open
earlier-say ten o'clock, and close at an
hour which wilrgive those who are en-
ployed during the day an opportunity
to make their purchases.

RACING AND aONE-TY.

A good, honest hOrse-Tace is a sport
amorg sports. a dishonest race de-
bases The king Of sports to a miserable
fraud, that IS simply common robbery
not only OF those who have bet on 1t,
but Of the lovers OF good sport who
have paid at the gate. Consequently
the rules on race tracks while severe
almost to excess are none too severe
when they aim to preserve honesty and
fairness.
The fate that has befallen Temple Bar
is 20 be regretted but it is none the less
deserved and necessary If horse-racing
is to be kept up to high standard.
When this famous stallion won the SlO,-
600 stakes at Detroit be sprang at once
70 the head OF the list and was full OF
promise OF Ions series OF
brilliant victories. But his turf
career has been cut of at the start
At Cleveland DR.. NJ. S. SALE his
owner consented, so IL was SHOWN u
the satisfaction Of the judges, to have
the stallion held back for money con
sideration-to sell the race to the gam
blers and cheat the public-for which
the stallion, his owner and his drivel
were expelled from the Association
/ tracks.
The punishment is heavy but merite'
and no one but the horse, whose bril-
liant career has been so summaril!
ended is entitled to pity. To condor
such fragrant offenses against the hon
estv of the American race track wOul
mean the death-knell Of noble sport
