Frederick L. Ames Cuts the Greatest Fig
ure ON the Books.

ure ON the Books.
Boston, Jan. 11.-Boston's taxable real
estate is valued at $3.50, 900, 900, a gain of
$50, 1000, 900 within the past IL months, and
the amount of personal property unearthed
by the assessors aggregates more than $780,
100000. Of course this is nowhere near the
actual worth of Boston's personal estate,
but the assessors couldn't find any more
than that for the purposes of taxation.
The taxpayer that cuts the greatest figure
on the assessors books is, as usual, the
Boston and Albany Railroad Company,
which contributes $114, 400 toward the sup
port of the city and State governments. The
only other bill that runs into the hundreds
of thousands is addressed to Charles N Cot
ting ct al, trustees, and it amounts to $780,
954. The largest individual taxpayer this
year is Frederick L. Ames, who pays S74,-
984, as against S64, ,027 last year. This high
distinction of being the largest individual
taxpayer in Boston was held for years, and
until two years ago, by Mr.. Joshua Mont
gomery Sears, who this year pays S54, 1913.
About a dozen years ago Mr.. Nathan Mat
thews, ST., the father of Boston's Mayor,
headed the list, Mr.. j. M. Sears being sec
ond and Mr.. F. L. Ames third. There are
only two others whose taxes exceed $50, 900,
the Boston Gaslight Company, which pays
this year S56, 161, and William s. Dexter, ct
at, trustees, who pay S67 .479. The Boston
and Maine Railroad this year pays S40,673
against S110, 2S6 last year, but the Eastern
Railroad, which last year paid S27, 770 this
year does not appear at all by that name.
There are % corporations and indi-
viduals whose tax bills are between $40, 900
and $50, 600, and 46 who pay between $4,000
and 500, 900.

ADVICE TO DOCTORS.

Would-Be Murderer.

Why q Chicago Judge Was Easy on g
Would-Be Murderer.
CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-Judge Anthony sen.
fenced James D. Fancher to serve one day
in the county Jail yesterday. Fancher tried
to kill DR.. Sawyer, his family physician,
because the doctor had taken advantage OF
his professional relations with Mrs.
Fancher to ruin Fancher's home. In SEN
fencing Fancher Judge Anthony said:
The party who acts as a family physician
should be q man in whom we expect honor,
rectitude and virtue. He should not take ad-
vantage Of his position and the confidence
bestowed on him to betray the families OF
those upon whom he attends. l do not be-
lieve that 1t is part of the duty of a family
physician to be eternally calling upon the
wives of his patients when the husbands are
absent from the city, whether they are sick
or WELL or constantly sending flowers with
the injunction that every petal contains a
kiss.
As a private citizen hearing the evidence
IN this case might be led to exelaim: What
a pity the defendant was such a poor shot!
In some States the fact that criminal init
macy existed between the doctor and the
wife OF the defendant would have been a
complete Justification; but the law is differ
ent here, and 1 sentence the defendant to
one day in Jail.

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-Speaking of the des-
tiny of the American Republic Sir Edwin
Arnold said:
'The United States will govern the entire
continent of South America. have never
been below the equator, despite my some
what extensive travelling, yet believe that
to be the land of the future Bates, of the
Amazon, told me that the great races of the
world would eventually live below the
equator. The people of the North have
been the people of mighty intellect. That
will change. Some day they will leave the
cold and snow and billiards. England will
not grudge it, because it is rightfully yours.
England he continued, 'has all she
wishes. India always will be ours. Two
men will always oppose a war over that
country-the Gar of Russia and the Prime
Minister of England, whoever he may be.
Still, just such q war is inevitable, although
1t may not come for many, many years.
When, from unavoidable causes, those
countries come in conflict, the Romanoff
dynasty will be wiped away forever. Every
Russian throat east of the Caspian will be
cut and the Khanates will reign once more
in Asia. The remains of the retreating
Russian army will face at home reyolu-
tion which will overthrow the reigning
house. There is no truth in the talk Of our
small army. We can place more than
200, O00, 600 men in the field"

not likely to rise above the level of an or

OF the supporting company, Miss Joseph
Inc Plows-Day, a charming girl as Mrs.
Brdndon, wife of 'eThe Solicitor" was easily
the best performer in company of fair
actors. None of the other female
parts had much to do, but, In
Mr. Fred Owen Baxter as Peter Fldg,tr, a
burglar, gave the best performance of char
acter acting. The others read their lines
perhaps as well as their parts admitted.
''The Solicitor" was preceded by an
amusing one act piece called "The Tangled
Skein." The plot is made up of a little
escapade Of rather lively little wife and
the mystery and confusion caused by four
pieces of millinery similarly constructed.
A large audience enjoyed both plays i'm
mensely. 'sThe Solicitor" will be the bill
for the balance of the week.

How to Drink Milk.

If glass of milk is swallowed hastily it
enters the stomach and then forms in one
solid, curdled mass difficult of digestion.
At least four minutes should be occupied in
drinking a glass of milk, so that in reaching
the stomach it will be so distributed that
when coagulated, as it must be by the gas
trio juice, instead of being in one hard, con-
densed mass, it will be more in the form of
a sponge.

When in the shade, or at night, the flower
is white as lily, but carried into the sun it
becomes first a delicate pink, which gradu-
ally deepens into bright red.

It is curious fact that epileptic patients
are never troubled with feas or other par
asitic insects. Why it is, no scientist has
ever been able to conjecture 1t is well
known that insects will leave dying people
and cannot be induced to remain on a dead
body. The same antipathy seems to be
shown by them to epileptics, and sometimes
a flea or other insect placed on the hand of
an eepileptic patient will drop off suddenly
as though paralyzed.

intended to obviate the necessity of minis

rite of baptism, says Rev. F. r. Stutzman

His invention consists of zinc or gal
vanized iron passageway 20 inches wide and
closed on all sides except the top. This is
extended out to the middle of the baptistry,
and the preacher stands inside, perfectly
dry, while the candidate stands in the
water, lust on the outside of the metal wall.

dex of Character.
Harper's Bazar.l
If there is any one thing in the world that
may be said to denote the breeding of per-
son, it is in the taste displayed in the use of
note paper Fashions change but slightly
in that line, and artistic simplicity is the
form to be sought after. There is nothing
so offensive as eccentricitv in STYLES of
paper, for it is one of the little things that
seem so trivial and count for so much in the
eyes of the world.
The height of bad form is in the use of
anything startling or pronounced. Paper
that rivals the sunset in gorgeousness of
hue, odd-shaped sheets and envelopes, or
gilt-edged paper, stamp the user as one who
is not familiar with the precepts of fashion
And not fashion alone, BY any means; it is
refinement that is shown in the use of
proper stationery, and refinement and
fashion may not always mean the same.

CHESTER, N. Y, Jan. n.-Old Hamble-

American trotters, ha, been dead nearly is
years. Ever since his death periodical
movements have been made to erect a

Guy Miller, the well-known Chester
horsemen, recently took hold of the
matter, and the long g-deferred monument is
now an assured thing. The design is to be an
heroic bronze statue of old Hambletonian,
which will cost So, 900. The sum of $1,000
has already been subscribed, Senator Lee
land Stanford contributing $500 of the
amount. Subscriptions are being received
daily from horsemen from all over the
country by Messrs. Rowland and Miller.
The statue will be erected in Chester.
