IN THE SOLICITORS Hands
The S0-Day Limit ON Some Of the Street As
GesSmeuts EXPIRES.


The So-Day Limit ON Some Of the Street A..
sessments Expires.
The 30-day limit during which the City
Treasurer can collect for street improve
ments, closed yesterday for number OF
streets, and the unpaid assessments were
handed over to the City Attorney for col
lection. Less than one-half has been paid
on them. These are the first street improve
ments confirmed by the Court under the
curative legislation, and are sewers on
Arabella' street, Aiken street, Claybourne
street, Harvard street, Braddocks auenue,
Comrie alley, Lowell and Winslow streets,
and the grading Of Bayard street. Under the
new law, unless the assessments for such
improvements are paid to the Treasurer
within 30 days from the time they are
placed in the City Treasurer's hands, they
60 to the City Attorney, who may proceed
at once and file liens against the property
affected. But it is his attention to allow
reasonable time, not less than 30 days, be-
fore he will file liens, during which time
the assessments may be paid, the additional
cost being per cent interest on the amount
unpaid, dating from the time the collection
went into the hands of the City Treasurer,
Under the old law per cent was added
when the City Attorney began to collect,
without regard to time.
During the past two days there has been
mild rush Of taxpayers at the City Treas
urer's Office, paving their years taxes in or
der to get the 5 per cent off on the second
half Nearly all who have paid thus
far are small property holders who come in
and pay the cash. In few days the big
firms and holders of real estate will begin to
send in their checks and the receipts will
make some kind of a show. The assessors
have nearly yfnishedt the taxbooks and the only
wards not ready for collection are the Four
teenth, Nineteenth and Twentieth. The
latter will be ready tomorrow and the other
two day later.

THE LIBRARY MYSTERY,
A Lack of Definite Information Concernin,
the Published Design.

A LACK OF Definite Information Concerning
the Published Design.
There is still mystery surrounding the
plan published as the latest Carnegie
Library design. Mr.. Scott is represented
as saying that the picture was printed in
the Contract Nens, with these words below
it: 'One of the proposed designs of the
Carnegie Free Library, Pittsburg." This
was not So The words below it were: s'The
proposed Carnegie Library, Pittsburg" 1t
is little singular how any architect would
now, months after the competition has been
completed, publish as the proposed library
a design which was rejected, which would
have to be the case to accord with Mr.. Scott's
theory-that this was one of the rejected de-
signs. One of the local architects, speaking
yesterday of the matter, said he did not be-
lieve the plan published was one of the old
rejected plans. He was familiar with
those exhibited, and did not recollect this
one.
In answer to a telegram sent to Long
fellow, Alden & Harlow at Boston yester-
day it was stated that those architects knew
nothing about the design printed in the
Contract Neacs but that their own working
plans would be ready next week. An effort
of Chief Bigelow to obtain definite infor-
nation from the editor of the New York
paper also proved fruitless. A member of
the commission remarked that the plan
might have been given out as teeler, and
that, if so, it had certainly aroused consid-
cradle feeling.

Was the display of imported novelties in
the suit and millinery departments OF
Joseph Horne 3 Co., at their Penn avenue
stores.
To be sure the weather was not propitious,
but all drawba of this kind were unavail-
ing to prevent the customers of this house
seeing the treat in store for them.
Paris millinery at its best and brightest,
all selected personally by the representa-
like picture that told of sunshine to come.
This unequaled millinery display will
continue to-day and during the week, and
will conclude on Saturday with q display of
everything that is new and lovely in chill
dren's and misses hats.
On the second floor parlor of the cloak
room the exquisite array of Paris costumes,
capes and tea gowns were surrounded by
groups of admiring beholders, who could
fully appreciate the artistic draperies and
true Partisan deftness of design so charm
ingly shown in the elegant and striking dis
play which brings the best efforts of Paris
workrooms of worldwide celebrity to the
easy and comfortable inspection Of the
ladies Of these cities.
Quite cute and pretty are the novelties
shown in the adjoining room devoted to the
wants of young girls and small children, in
cluding the wee little ones, the latest corners
to the family. Also taking styles in boys
suits are shown here in styles exclusive to
this house. The fact that their children's
clothing is made to order in the most perfect
manner and newest ideas is matter Of some
Importance to ladies who formerly paid ex-
travagsnt prices to Eastern houses for jn-
ferior service.
Just word about the parasol display. A
little early, but it is well-known fact that
this house always is alert to furnish the
newest in everything for their patrons ap-
provaI; hence this summer parasol display
brightens the entire store by its gay color
ing-Paris parasols, Of course, to maze a
correct tout ensemble with the Paris bon
nets and Paris costumes; so, all in all, this
triple display Of spring fashions can be
written down an unqualified success, as the
remaining days of the week will show.

A Dispute on Acreage Valuation,

The County Commissioners had a big
wrestle with Twepty-second ward property
owners yesterday. There was no dispute on
the valuation of acreage along Fifth avenue,
as it is the dividing line between the Twen-
tieth and Twenty-second wards, and the
Assessors having agreed on both sides of
the line to $4,000 an acre the Commits
sioners thought their judgment good, but
they advanced values over those fixed BY

Ex.SscretaFy Of State Mattson Says the Pso-
pIs Want Lower Tariff Duties.
Colonel b. Mattson, ex-Secretary oi
State for Minnesota, was at the Anderson
yesterday. He is now at the head of Sc
curity and loan association, and is on his
way to Europe to secure money. He says
they get q great deal from Holland and
England, which is used to assist the West
ern farmers at good rate of interest.
Speaking Of politics the Colonel said:
"We are nearly al Republicans in Mime
sofa We we're for Blaine, but since he has
refused to be Presidential candidate our
delegation will undoubtedly be for Harri-
son. Tho Democrats will support Cleve-
land We have Democratic Congressman
in the State who favors Hill, but the people
are afraid of the New York Senator. They
tician. Yes, the Minnesota Republicans
want q reduction in the tariff duties We
believe that the necessaries OF, life should
not be taxed. The farmers, however, are
more contented than they were two years
ago. The Mckinley bill was not all they
asked for, but it gave them more protection
than they had. This is apparent along the
border. I have large wheat farm
near Manitoba I can get 80 cents per
bushel for my wheat while just across the
line the prevailing rate is 60 cents There
is no danger of Minnesota going over to the
Democrats The people feel that they can
get more from the Republicans than the
Democrats. ...
The Colonel is loyal to Minneapolis, where
he lives. He claims the accommo-
dations tor the Republican delegates next
June will be ample.

Lower Duties Mean Reduced Wages.


L. f. Humphrey, Boston wool buyer, is
stopping at the Monongahela House. He
is rabid protectionist, and is opposed to
free wool and lower duties on woolen goods,
as proposed by Springer in his piecemeal
attack on the Mckinley law. The Demo
cratic woolen schedule is lower than it was
in the Mills bill. Mr.. Humphrey says if
the tariff is cut that wages will have to
come down. 1t will do the workmen the
greatest injury. He claims that three
fourths of the expense in running woolen
mill is the wages of the men. With i'm
proved machipery and cheap raw material,
the cost, outside of the wages, is not great
deal. Mr.. Humphrey thinks it is bad
sign when SO much money is slying idle in
the banks 1t is an indication that busi-
ness men are afraid to invest their money.
He adds that tariff agitation should be
stopped,

The city for several days has been can

called at private residences for the ostensi-

merits of their baking powder through q
series Of alleged chemical experiments. A
lady who has been annoyed by the agents
determined to test the efficacy of the ex-

of the baking powder which they
are advertising he agent Submitted
the substance 10 the usual tests and called
the lady attention to the presence of alum,
ammonia and various other alleged ingredi-
ents, which could be distinguished by the
peculiar odor, the residuum, ETC. The lady,
of course, saw all these unmistakable signs
of sO-called impurities, and allowed the
agent full swing to expand upon the merits
of her own cooking powder. The agent
finally inquired of the lady what brand Of
baking powder she had been experiment.

the lady, ''is the same that you have been
