Talking about funny real estate

the other day to a New York Tribune
reporter. Il think about the funniest.
and certainly the most unique. took
place in San Diego Cal. 1t was ut Il
delinquent tax sale viii h is con
ductcd on the principle Of reducing
bids.
That is 10 say the tax collector
must accept the BID OF the man who
will Pay the delinquent taxes and
take the least fraction of the lot in
payment therefor
Theoretically you might suppose
a bidder won dn't be willing TO take
fraction lntrinsically worth less than
the taxes he would have to pay. but
practically that consideration doesn
come in at all since his ownership OF
even an infnitesimal portion OF the

Il Gear title to it aud in that way he
is amply secured for the amount of
taxes he pays.
For this reason rival bidders at
these sales are in the habit OF bidding
for c ceeding small fractions OF los
until some time ago it WAS thought
that the limit had been reached when
Il man bid for the one thou-aHjth Of
an inch OF lot. But the bid | refer
to made the transaction seem gigantic

The bidders were three men named
Payne, rame and kipp, and Tax
Collector Kennedy began the proceed

take the whole lot

1t is almost incredible that a live
tree can be cut down and converted
into printed newspaper within the
space of twenty-five hours. yet that is
the record made by the Philadelphia
Record. 1t took sixty-seven cords of
poplar wood, making 900 pounds of
blank paper to make one edition of
10000 copies of 4 twelve page paper.
The rapidity with which the wood can
be converted into paper stock is due to
comparatively new process called the
Sulphide.

the country against the great dangers
which lurked in much of a surplus in
the national treasury. The late Dem
ocratic congress did not forget the

One gerrymander by the Democrats
of Wisconsin has been smashed by the
Supreme court and the second one IS
now in court One Democratic gerry
mander in Michigan has been smashed
by the SUPREME court of that state.
I IT'S UtciI pfuuSuL 11to court ny
the Republicans, and viii doubtless
meet the same fate. AS in Michigan,
and as in the present suit in WiScon-
sin, the New York case is based on in
equality of representation. Thus Al
bany county, with 167 ,239 population,
is given four assemblymen, while Mon
roe, with 20o,o5i population, is allowed
only three; Duchess, with 7S,3i2 popu-
lation, has two aSsemblymen, while
st. Lawrence, with Sc, 265 population,
has bat one.
The Michigan decision covers the
New York case. Under the Demo
cratic apportionment of 1891, there
were in Michigan eight senate districts
ranging in population from 50, 159 to
81 $50, and eight others ranging from
39,727 To 53 ,G6S. The eight senators in
the one case were to represent popu-
lation of 695,7l7, and the eight others
a population of $40, 056. The court de-
cides that equity has no definition
applicable to such case
This covers the new case in WIscon-
sin. 1t Will be shown to the court, as
it has been shown already in the press,
that the gross inequalities under the
new gerrymander are not due to any
difficulty in arranging the districts
more equitahly-that, to use the words
IF the Michigan Judges, the new di-
vision is not the exercise of IAN honest
and fair discretion SO as to preserve as
far as may be the equality of repre-
sentation.'
1t Is particularly astonishing that in
Wisconsin the Democrats should, af-
ter having one gerrymander smashed,
immediately proceed to make another
and to show that they. like Gov. Peck,
don't care what people say

A Peculiar Case Which Occurred Su
day Evening.

A Peculiar Case Which Occurred Sun
day Evening.
A mysterious case of attempted incen-
diarism has leaked out, which contains
all the elements of sensational story.
Shortly after o'clock Sunday morning
some burning paper was noticed in the
doorway of house of ill-repute on the
corner of New High and Marchessault
streets. There was a strong odor OF
kerosene about the place. and it was
discovered later that large quantity OF
that fluid had been poured over the door
and adjoining woodwork.
About O'Clock that came morning,
indeed only short while after the above
discoveries were made, policeman in
that vicinity apprehended woman in
male attire with bottle half full OF
kerosene in her hand. who explained
her peculiar situation by saying she had
gone out to get the oil for domestic use,
and had donned her husbands costume
to avoid annoyance, considering the
lateness of the hour. This woman was
apprehended on the opposite side of the
street from where the fire was discov-
cred. She was allowed to depart in
peace. Taken from several points oi
view, there are quite number OF large
sized why's that can be asked about the
matter. -s#
