The HanIons, superba.n

The agile activity displayed by the famous
Hanlon Brothers years ago, when their ac-
robatc feats were the talk of Europe, has
apparently shifted from their limbs to their
brains. The fertility of their resources is
well nigh inexhaustible. In their latest
production, "Superba," which will be seen
here i'll the near future, their ingenuity is
said TO be better illustrated than ever IL
has in one Of its acts as many humorous
stage tricks, it is said as would be used in
the entire performance of the ordinary
spectacle. Whether il is that "In union
there is strength" in their case is not
known, but collectively they are evidently
able to invent new magical illusions quicker
than it Is possible TO use them.

APPROVED BY TAXPAYERS.
The Plan of Publishing Real Es-

To the Editor of the Globe.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Ringwald,
of the Ramsey county delegation, au-
thorizng the county auditor TO publish
the real estate list, including valuation
and taxes, Ill the official parer, will, if
passed, be the greatest benefit to the
poor class of property owners of any bill
so far introduced by any member of the
Legislature. Mayor Smith, i'll an inter
view some time ago, expressed himself
very strongly upon the system Of
differentiation or the real eS-
tate of large property owners;
he even went so far as to say that
equalization would hit him very hard,
but he was willing to stand it for the
general good If Mayor Smith will prac-
tice What he breaches by using his in
fluence with the Ramsey county delega-
tisn to pass Mr.. Ringwald's bill he will
prove his sincerity and good faith. The
expense may be considerable, but moth
Ing compared to the folly of building
ice palaces, illuminating our streets for
display, and many other fOilieS too nu-
merOus tomention. Enough money has
been squandered i'll that way to publish
our tax lists to the day Of Judgment.
The people don't object to money USED
for their own benefit. Mr.. Ringwald
has discovered the proper means of re-
forming great abuse. TAXPAYER.
