AMANDE FAILLE AND CHINE SILK GowNA
around the skirt and demi-train was q
narrow band of ostrich feathers, which
extended up the sides. A deep jacket
without sleeves was worn with 1t
trimmed in the same way. The faille
was of the very richest quality. and the
lavish use of tine feather trimming made
it very effective.
Another very elegant dinner toilet was
of vieux rose chine silk, with tiny wild
rose blossoms IN natural colors with foli-
age. At the foot was hounce of old
point lace. The princess back, drapery
and panniers were of soft moss green
Ottoman silk. Up close around the
neck was little ruff made of point
d'esprit over rose colored ribbon.

Saved Health and Penny, Too.

Amusing incidents often are met with
on the streets, in which those who are
the central figures are totally o5livious
of the part they are taking. A night or
two ago a poorly clad child, with her
mother, was gazing anxiously into q
confectionery store window on Broad
way, Camden. The mother was en-
deavoring to break piece from pretzel
which the child held in her hand. The
little one, about years old, was appeal.
ing to the mother for penny with
which to buy some candy. The woman
dropped the basket on her arm, and
startled the child and those around by
exclaiming:
mo, no, my tear child, dot will not do
for you; your nanny loves her little
girl. When you eat dot candies it makes
you feel SO bad yust like when you takes
dot castor OIL" The child did not re-
quire second warning, and with a
smile the woman picked up The basket,
nunchcd the pretzel and walked up the
street. t.--Philadelph'a Press.

These figures are full of meaning to
those who complain of a high rate of
taxation, and yet object to their proper
tv being assessed at its full cash valued
The method OF assessment in Oregon
does not give her credit for Que fourth
her actual wealth. An examination of
the assessment rolls will show many a
piece Of property listed for ten per cent
OF the price its owner would be willing
to take for it, while very little would be
found listed as high as % per cent. An
example Of how this affects the compar-
alive standing Of state, is given in the
returns from Illinois That the great
Sucker state has increased enormously
in wealth the past ten years is beyond
question, and vet the census shows de
crease OF S59,2O0,I42. Her total per
capita is about $3.50, while the adioin-
ing states have from twice to three
times as much. This is explained by
the state auditors statement that the
assessment in 1880 was so per cent,
while in 1890 it was but %. In Oregon
it is just what the assessors choose to
make it.
Of course, the property listed for tax

is property Of great aggregate value
that escapes taxation entirely, while, IN
der the laws of some states much prop

property itself, and then tpxing its rep

wealth which the assessors can not reach
and which would be no wealth at all in
case OF national disaster, could be esti-
mated, which it cannot, and were added
to the estimate made upon the basis of
the assessment rolls. the wealth of the
country would reach sum much greater
than the Sl0jO per capita shown by the
census bulletin. After all the wealth of
the country consists Of its industry, its
honesty, its observance Of law and order,
the equitable administration of It's laws

According to the latest bulletin from
the census Office, every man, woman and
child in the United States is worth
$1,000. says the Oregonian. Re may rot
have it in his possession, and may not
even have credit enough to procure a
10-cent meal or glass OF teer, which
is usually more serious matter with the
class thus afflicted, yet it is in the pos
session of some one, and he is credited
with it on the censns returns, but with
out the privilege Of drawing upon the
credit. This is neerIy double the per
capita in 1860, 1920 more than IN 1870,
and $3.50 more than in 1880, It shows
that the nation is growing in wealth
much faster than in population; that
the industry of the people is producing
much more than is necessary for their
maintenance. The increase in wealth
during the last decade, as shown by the
assessment returns, were 1886, 596, 36l D.,
being upwards of $20000O,O0O more
than the total assessed value in 1850,
showing that in ten yeaas we have add
ed more to the wealth of the nation than
it accumulated during the entire two
and one-haIf centuries from the landing
of the jamestown colony to 1850.
The grand total for the United States
is 1914, 249, $50, 1904. according to assess
ment returns, but as in most states
property is assessed at less than half It's
cash value it is evident that this is far
below the actual wealth of the country
The first effort to go outside the asses
sors' returns and ascertain the real value
of real estate and personal property was
made in 1880. Circulars were sent out
to bankers. real estate dealers, county
officials and business men, asking for
their opinion of the actual value of prop
erty in their vicinity, in comparison
with its assessed value, and answers
were received from every county in the
United States, many Of them giving tie
assessed value of pieces Of property and
their selling prices. These were care
fully tabulated and compared, and the
estimate made that, while the assessed
value in 1850 was but S16,902, SOB, 543.
the cash value was S43,642, 100000.
The same proportion would place the
present actual wealth of the United

there is a great deal more regret than
usually follows the retirement of a mem

isn't probable that his name will be
officially announced until Secretary

to this, he lying down on one side of the

was sound asleep, then taking a club he
fell upon him and commenced beating

CAPT. FLAVELLE's DEATH.
Lost His Life Willie Trying to
Save that of One OF His
Grew

The full facts of the death of Capt,
Wesley Flayelle by drowning, ere now
known, end there is nothing about it
OF as sensational nature as q local pa
per Tuesday endeavored to have the
public believe.
Capt. Flavelle's death was that of a
hero, for he was drowned while en-
deavoring 10 save the life of one of
bis crew, James McAleer, of Green
wicd. Capt. Fiavelle and lis steward,
Charles Conners, had been out Mon
day evening visiting Capt Flavelle's
sister and his own daughter, Miss Sara,
The Captain was in a joyial humor.
and enjoyed himself all the evening.
About midnight, or just g. little bit be.
fore, he and his steward bade their
friends goodbye and started for the
schooner "Wanderer" at the Dock
street wharf. Arriving there, they found
Nc Aleer about the wharf, waiting for
orders.
1t was low tide in the Delaware, and
it was necessary to get down to the
schooner by using rope ladder, and
the party attempted to get down. Nc.
Aleer started, and tripping ever
wharf log, lost bis balance end pitched
head foremost. Capt. Flavelle heroic
ally leaped forward to catch the man
to save him from an accident, and he
too, losing his balance, botn fell in
the water.
4 cry of man overboard,o immedi-
etely aroused man in an adjoining
boat and being moonlight he could
see the ripples on the surface of the
| water where the men went down, and
he plunged after them. McAleer was
brought up and handed over to his
friends, and the rescuer again dived
| down and succeeded in getting hold of
the form of Captain FtavelIe and
| brought him to the surface, but he
was dead, and all efforts CT resuscita-
ton were of 20 avail. Capt. Flavelle
evidently was caught under an adjoin-
ing vessel for his body was brought
up OAA VIC OEtCStSC SLoO VI t4C fCSEcI
| from that which he had fallen.
McAleer was found to be bedly hurt
and ne was Immediately taken to the
Pennsylvania Hospital. 1t YVES thought
at first that lis back was broken, but
later it was ascertained that he had
suffered u confusion of the ribs, and
his nose and face being lacerated, evi-
IDENTITY caused by striking the rail of
the boat in the decent.
Undertaken Pierce did not succeed
in getting possession of the body yes
terday, but it Viii probably arrive
here OIL the 1.50 train this afternoon.
Capt. Flavelle has been following
the sea for nearly thirty years and
was astrong swimmer He had escaped
many perils, and his death is particu.
larly sad from the fact that he drowned
in about six feet of water and directly
within reach OF help.
The date of the funeral has not been
made known as yet.

STRIKE AT HOME.
The Tending Boys at Cumberland
Glass Works Strike"

The tending boys at the Cumber-
land Glass Works Monday morning fol-
lowed the example set by the boys at
Whitall, Tatum 81 Co.'S, and struck
against the employment of either
Russian Jews or American colored
boys.
When they went on to work this
morning they met at the gate and
stretched an iron bar across the en-
trance, and when the Jews and colored
boys came up they were told if they
attempted to pass the bar they would
&be stoned to death. The striking
boys were armed with stones and
clubs and showed every determination
to put their threat into execution to
stone the outsiders.
81 A committee of them waited upon
the boss blower and demanded the
Immediate discharge of the Jews and
colored boys. After little parley the
demand of the strikers was acceded to
and the Objectionable boys were
ordered from the premises by Alex
McGraw, the foreman, and the
strikers went to work. This is the re-
port as given us by outsiders.
81 From the Office of the Cumberland
Glass Works we learn that orders
were issued last week to fill the places
OF the Jew boys, as they were unre-
liable in their work. The strike only
lessened by few days what the Com
pany had in contemplation.
