and 1t would be most unnecessary luxury,
as there is nothing about the place worth
stealing.
A peculiar effect is created by a chair
which stands near the front door.
The chair is of the usual size, but 1t looks
gigantic, as ii is aim st as high as the house.
The chair has lost its original bottom, but
couple OF pieces OF board about three
inches wide have been utilized for a seat.
The. name Of the man who lives in this
place is not known 10 the neighbors.
de has lived there for several years, and
is called by everybody "Old Buck"
Where he came from or what he does for
a living is mystery that nobody seems to
know anything about 1t is also strange
that he is allowed to keep his dwelling place
where he does, as it is on valuable piece
of land
Buck was visited by a CALL reporter yes
terday.
A knock at the door had the effect of pro-
ducing grunt from the inside.
After the knocking had been repeated
several times the reporter opened the top
half Of the doo- and looked in.
man was lying on bed made OF straw,
apparently half asleep.
There was not much furniture inside.
The interior resembled the cave Of some
wild beast more than anything else.

that came in was through the small spaces
around the reporter HeaQ.
The odor was anything but pleasant.

porter.
No. it amt Burns" came the reply in a
grutf voice.

None OF your business" politely replied
the man.
At this stage OF the conversation the in
mate became quite interested and asked
why so much concern should be taken in
him that his name was asked.
II just wanted to know who you were"
answered the reporter.
We'll, If you want to know anything
about me go to - and find out"
With this he turned over and appeared
ready TO go to sleep
A small boy. who was passing was asked
who lived in the place.

That's about as much as anybody ap
peared to know about old Buck, although
INQUIRIES were made all over the neighbor-
hood
In the evening Buck sometimes occupies

smokes cigar stumps

WITHOUT PROCESS OF LAW
Power to Raise Assessments
to Be Tested.
City Officials Who Want to Find Out If Peo-
pls's Money Can BE Unlaw-
fully Taken.

&The State Board of Equalization, or rather
the majority thereof, have increased taxa
ton In this city and county.
The authorities of this municipality are
under the impression that the State board
in doing so did Ii in violation OF the four
teenth amendment to the constitution of the
United States, and they are going to find
out if they are right in the position they
take.
Late on Thursday afternoon Mayor
Sanderson, Supervisor Ellert, chairman Of
the Finance Committee of the Board Of
Supervisors; Supervisor Burling of the
same committee; John II. burst, City and
County Attorney. and Clerk Russell of the
Board Of Supervisors met in the office Of the
Mayor to discuss the matter.
The subject was viewed from many
points. and the law applicable to 1t con-
sidered.
an action can be commenced in the Fed
eral court to restrain the Tax Collector
from collecting the amount of the increase,
on the ground that such collection would
be depriving citizens Of property without
due process of law.
The reason for reaching this conclusion
Is that the fourteenth amendment declares
that no State shall deprive any person Of
property without due process of law, and
that the State board in this instance did not
give to the citizens the notice required to
place them In position to defend any ac-
ton to take from them property by due pro-
cess of law.
The City and County Attorney was in
structed TO give the matter his close atten-
ton and report at an early date some
feasible plan of action.
He promised to present an opinion to the
Mayor. Ii the position taken is tenabe the
suit will test the power of the State board
to increase assessments.

were unpolled. Every available vehicle
suitable for the purpose bad been pressed
into service, and Lord Frederick's agent
was in dilemma, knowing that the fight
would be an extremely close one.
AT length 1t was decided to send a messen-
ger to Bar0nsc0urt, when the Duke aud
duchess OF Aberc0rn are at resentstaying,
After considering the situation her Grace,
with woman's readiness of resource. sug-
geeted that two farm horses, blowing in
field close by, should be requsitioned, and
the great stagecoach used by the late Duke
when Lord Lieutenant of Ireland should be
pressed into service The horses were
brought in, the coach wheeled out and then
It was discovered that there was no harness.
Woman's wit, however, again came to the
rescue, and with the silver-mounted state

OF one OF the principal apartments in the
castle the equipage was ready to start
But all the difficulties had not been sur
mounted yet. There was no one but the
Duke to drive, and the law was too plain on
the subject OF peers taking part in elections,
The law. however. said nothing about peer
0ssess, and the Duchess, seeing the state of
affairs, at once volunteered her services,
mounted the dickey and drove off amid the
cheers of the assembled servants. The first
man was poled at $50 o'clock. and at 7:57
o'clock the second man. although he lived
over four miles distant from the polling
station, was brought TO the booth ana his
vote recorded.

THE FREE LIBRARY.
New Style of Catalogue Adopted by
the Trustees.

A New Style of Catalogue Adopted by
the Trustees.
The trustees of the Free Library, realizing
the great difficulty that exists in properly
cataloguing the books in large library by
the methods at present IL use. decided at
their last meeting to adopt new invention
called progressive machine index and card
catalogue
There will be ordered for the library
twenty-one of these machines, each carrying
a capacity of 1000 pages.
Each machine consists of two hexagonal
drums, each hexagonal surface of the right
size to contain one page, say Of the Peabody
Catalogue, cut out and pasted on cardboard.
These eardb0ards are placed upon zinc
plates with overlap ping strips to hold In
place. These plates are connected with an
endless chain. which revolves either way
over the two drums, thus presenting four
plates of the catalogue to the eye at any
time. That these machines are adjustable
to the enlargement of the library can be
seen at a glance, as the title of any addl-
ti0nal book can readily be placed upon
segment of cardboard and inserted, by some
simple readjustment OF the plates.
Librarian Cheney does not hesitate to
state that there will be a saving OF two
thirds in cost and fiye-sixths in time by the
use Of these machines.
The library and its branches according to
its last annual report of June 80, 1891, con-
tains 70,4S5 bound volumes. and the neces-
sity of cataloguing became apparent.
Printed. a catalogue of these books would
make three volumes OF 1000 pages each, the
size of the Peabody Catalogue.
To prepare and print these would cost
large amount, and would take mach time
and labor in the compilation. The average
annual accessions to the library are about
5000 volumes

THAT MURDERED INFANT.
An Inquest Held on the Mutt
lated Body.
Death Was Caused by Cash in the Throat,
but the Police Could Not Trace the
Perpetrators of the Crime.

An inquest was held yesterday on the
mutilated remains of the female infant
found floating in the bay last Wednesday
morning.
That the babe was murdered there could
be no doubt, but the detective could not
make the least progress toward solving the
mystery or tracing the perpetrators of the
ieDdish crime.
1t was legal holiday yesterday, but that
did not interfere with the inquest The
diminutive remains could not be kept any
longer. So jury was quickly summoned
and the Coroner's inquiry proceeded.
First to be heard as witness was DR.. r.
E. Williams, who made an autopsy. He
found that the infants throat had been
cut. severing the right carotid artery and
both jugular veins.
"As the child had breathed," said the
doctor" it is more than probable that death
was caused by the cut on the neck. A dull
instrument had been used to produce the
wound"
Are you certain that the wound was in
flicted while there was breath in the body ?"
asked an inqusitiye juror.
Eyes, no doubt of il"
II agree with the DOCTOR" said one of the
jurors, who had examined the body closely,
Il am of the opinion that the baby's throat
was cut with blunt knife"
THAT will do interrupted DR.. Garwood,
sharply, I'VE don't want your opinion now;
time enough for that after all the evidence
has been presented.
The jnror aud Coroner subsidized stimuli
taneously and the inquest proceeded.
Henry Brady, a boy, living at 100 Alta
place. told how he found the baby 10 a sack.
81 was on the beach between Mason and
Taylor Streets" said Henry. when a man
called my attention to a sack floating on
the waves. There was a rope attached to
the sack, and when went close to it / saw
little pair of feet sticking out. Finally |
drew the sack ashore and turned it over to
Sergeant BGnner.
That's all the testimony" said the Coro-
ner, ''as the Police Department has not
been able to fathom the mystery"
After celebrating a few minutes, the
jury found that the deceased, an unknown
infant. had been murdered by "a person or
persons unknown to the jnry."
The slaughtered baby's body was turned
over to the city undertaken for interment.
Henry Brady received a warrant for $40,
the reward for recovering the body, and
tripped away, the happiest lad who ever
entered Dunbar alley.
There were many reasons why the officers
detailed to investigate the murder could
make no Roadway. The little body was
naked, and there was nothing by which the
identity OF the infant could be established.
A weight had evidently been attached TO
the rope, but Ii had broken away. and the
sack with its CHASTITY contents hoated to the
surface,

Not Over Polite, but He Seems

At the corner Of Bryant and Beale streets

1t looks more like chicken coop than

boards instead of stats.
1t is on the corner of the street and pre-

1t is constructed of rough boards rudely

The sides OF the house are bllboards

The only part of the house that is not
covered with paper is the front door.
The door is a most peculiar continuance.

two pieces.
In fact it is two small doors.
Both parts Of the door are fastened on

NEEDS THE KELLEY CURE.
A Cat That Gets Drunk
Three Times a Day.
His Daily Visits to the Place Where He
Obtains His Fill of Mutton, Beer
and Whisky.

j. d. Spencer, who has charge Of the
billiard-room at the Palace Hotel, owns one
of the most remarkable cats in this section
of the country.
1t is not wonder in either size or beauty;
ii is modest Quaker-gray. with bright
green eyes and seductive purr; but as sure
as you conclude it is an ordinary insipid cat
you are going to be fooled.
1t is thoroughbred sport. and will drink
more beer and whisky to the square inch
than any other cat known OF.
II Is in the habit in the morning of drop
ping in about 8 o'clock on its friends at the
bar for light breakfast of cold mutton.
with dash of be er and whisky on the side.
Such is it's fav0rite dish. and 10 seldom for
gets itself so far as to take anything else.
This sort of thipg has been going on for
more than three years, and though perhaps
it might once have controlled its weakness,
it is away beyond that point now. From
slipping absinthe frappes it has come down
to good, everyday work on beer and
whisky, and now asks for nothing more.
Half glass Of this mixture will put
beautiful edge on any cat In Christendom;
and as Tom never stops short of three-quar-
tiers of glass, he gets gloriously full at
each meal.
At such times, for downright fun, circus
can't be mentioned in the same day with
him.
Having finished the last bit of mutton
and Tapped up the last drop, he takes the
precaution of licking his chops very care
fully. as IL to destroy all clews. Then he
steadles himself by a supreme effort, sails
out boldly into the blliard-room, and by a
dint OF keeping one eye on the russet-leather
settees on his right. manages to reach the
large inner court without betraying himself.
Here he smiles upon any chance acquaint-
ance he is able to recognize and passes
briskly through to the stairway.
At last alone! Meow
He abandons himself TO the delights OF
his condition, chambers awkwardly up the
steps, jumps at imaginary mice - fights
imaginary Maltese enemies. Keeling and
stumbling he passes on to the end of the
long corridor TO favorite spot In the sun,
and there. with broad Cheshire grin OF
appreciation. he drops his head on his pa VS.
and sleeps off the deliriums.
Mr. Spencer is convinced there Is no hope
for his cat unless In the Kelley cure.
