Finds of a Hotel Clerk,

banker explained that the piece was
one which kellogg & Co., OF San

A Boiler or,ne P,r., c.n,,ry

The water CRATE, rs used on loo ONO

many patents in resent years. yet the
idea proves to be not altogether new.

copper and bronze tools and utensils
exhumed at Pompeii and among them
is said to be n small vertical boiler OF
copper, with flrebox. a smoke Hue

Taxing Personal Property.

The committee on legislation of the
Real Estate exchange, of New York
city, held its first meeting last week,
and the president, George r. Reed, in
his opening address, discussed rapid
transit and other questions likely to af-
feet the price of real estate He also
said that it was to be expected that bills
looking to the taxation of mortgages
and personal property would be intro
duced as usual and that the effect of
such taxation would be to drive away
from our city capital and business and
thereby ultimately injure the value of
real estate. He hoped that the commit
tee would be as successful in defeating
such proposals this year as it had been
in the past. The intelligent real estate
owner who expects to improve land
that he holds is beginning to see the
folly of taxing personal property as
plainly as do the single takers. He is
not likely, perhaps, to become more
than a single tax man limited, but that
far he is in time Sure to come.

Hawks on the Railway.

An engine diver on a Scotch rail
way has noticed that hawks OF the
merlin or "stone falcon" species fly
close behind the train, near the ground,
partly hidden by the smoke. As the
cars thunder along through the fields
and meadows small birds fly up in
clouds, and while they are bewidered
andfrightened the merlin dashes among
them out of the smoke and easily
secures its prey. Should it be UNI
successful it returns to the wake OF
the train and awaits the starting of
another bevy. The engine driver
afiirms that the hawk has no difficulty
in keeping up with the swiftest express
train.-London Tit Bits.

The single tax men of Missouri are ac-
complishing wonders in forcing to the
front the doctrines that they hold.
They have gone about it in theright way.
They have not merely lent their aid to
the democratic party. but they have
procured the nomination and election
to the legislature of seven single tax
men, of whom one is in the state SEN
ate and six in the house. The men thus
chosen are not merely members, but
leading members, of the branches to
which they belong One of them is
speaker of the house, one chairman of
the ways and means committee, one
chairman of the committee on internal
improvements, and another chairman
OF the committee on manufactures and
Others hold places on other important
committees As was shown by an item
printed in last weeks Standard, the
single tax men are pushing the demo-
cratic party forward toward free trade,
and though they failed in securing an
open declaration in accord with their
views, III. Martin Williams, says that
more than half the members are free
traders. Mr.. Williams is one of the
tlerks of the house, and he was APP
..ointed to that position with full
knowledge of the fact that he is not
merely a single tax man, but the Mis-
souri member of the single tax national
committee.
1t is not to be wondered at that in a
state where the single tax movement is
in the hands of such practical men, that
the necessity for state organization is
becoming apparent Whenever the
movement reaches that stage, state
committees ought to be formed; but,
on the other hand, it is folly to form
such committees where there is no local
activity, and where new tax on the
energies of our scattered people must
fail to accomplish any great good,
while diverting money and effort from
the work already in progress under the
direction of the national committee.
Let us finish the work on hand, press
ing forward to new duties where it is
possible, as in Missouri, but in no case
forgetting or neglecting the tasks and
responsibilities that we have already

The Meanest Man in the World.

A Columbia professor says that the
alleged meanest man in the world was
pointed out to him in Chicago. Hitherto
it has been supposed that he lived in
New York. He is named Hunham, and
owns tract of several acres in Ken
wood, handsome suburb of the windy
city. He has steadily refused to sell or
to allow any Improvement Streets,
however, were put through his prop
erty, for which he was duly assessed.
Under our law this would be difficult in
New York city without the owners
consent Witness One Hundred and
Eighth street, now covered by Lion
Park, east of ninth avenue. To revenge
himself for the assessment, this expo
nent of landlordism is said to have put
up six or eight shanties, just in the
heart of the finest neighborhood. The
neighbors are disguised, but the gentle
man is entitled to his pound of flesh,
and until the single tax comes they are
powerless.
