After the Ball Tonight.

"After the Ball." which will be
given its first presentation in this
city, is an adaptation from the
French of NJ. Pontin. The original
play may have been somewhat
spicy, but in the version used by
Mr.. Graham all the Frenchy dia-
logue and "business" has been toned
down to such point that it is in
no way offensive.

What the Sun Thinks.

Gov. Flower. of New York, has called
the legislatures attention to the fact
that most personal property escapes
taxation in this state. The governor
would make contribution of capital val
ue to an over-dissussed topic if he would
point to any state in or out of this
union in which most personal property
has ever failed to escape taxation. It
is competent for the legislature to en-
act any of the tax laws now in force in
other states for enrolling personal prop
erty. It is practically impossible to de-
wise any scheme of whose features ev-
cry one either is not now in force or has
not been tried somewhere. Identical
results can confidently be counted on.
Personal property visible to the as
SCISSORS eye-household furniture, We
hicles, live stock, a watch worn on the
person-can all be caught by his drag
net. Upon these possessions, nine
tenths of them the property of persons
of small means, taxes can be collected.
The merchants stock OF goods can in
deed be assessed, but only so much can
be collected as his conscience pro-
nounces equitable. for he shows his
debts to offset any overplus. Apart
from these tangible effects. all the per-
sonal property in the world exists as
debt. To this fundamental PROPOSE
lion, which the amateur tax legislator
has never yet got through his skull, is
due to the fact that his efforts to tax it

Stock. for example. is debt owed by a

What Makes Jersey Fat.

Gov. Albeit in his report to the New
Jersey legislature points out that under
the liberal laws of that state the reve-
nue. derived from the the taxes on for
eign capital invested there in misce1-
laneous corporations has increased from
S140, 629. IS in 1885, to $485, 49, 10 in 1892.
As the tax rate is low these figures rep
resent an immense capitalization, q
large proportion of which is drawn
from this city. Are the Taxpayers Of
other states perfectly satisfied with the
hostile legislation that has driven so
much money and SO much revenue out
OF this state? Proper restriction for
corporations is one thing. and prejudice
against moneyed interests is another.

SOAP FOR THE COMPLEXION.

Absolute Cleanliness Can Not He Secured
Without 1t.
So much theorizing is being done in
regard to the care of the complexion
that want to send in u plea to discard
all these cosmetics, face masks, washes,
messages, etc, and urge You to first
try keeping lies plain clean"
A new theory has Seen started with
regard to the use of soap on the face.
Women who for years have been care
full of their complexion would never,
under any circumstances. wash the face
with soap. as 1t was said to roughen and
coarsen the skin. Now. this idea is ex-
ploded. and a well-known physician
in the metro ,olitan profession recon-
freely every day. lathering the skin
we'll.
of course, q fine. oily. and pure
soap is most desirable. This being Sc
cured he states none but the most bene-
fetal results will be affected by his
method of improving the skin. He
holds-with considerab bic plausibility-
that the pores of the face become as
much ciogged by grease and dirt as the
hands or any other portion of the body.
And if soap is considered n necessary
purifier in the bath. its need must be
felt equally on the face.
BY an abundant and regular lather-
ing the facial pores, he claims, are
kept open, free from the clogging mat
ter that produces unsightly blackheads
and pimples; and pure, healthy,
fresh and bright complexion is The re-
suit. Not minciag matters, ise says,
the trouble with most women who have
.sallow, pasty skins is thai from years
end to years end they never have a
really clean face.-St Paul Globe.

A Woman Gould Not See It.

ST was out in Seattle. a few days ago.
and picked up a paper containing an
address by United States senator in
which he declared that one Of the great
causes that has led to the present
financial distress is overproduction.
want to tell Senator Dolph that over.
production exists only as the vagary Of
diseased imagination. No economic
thinker can point to great and gener-
al overproduction. There may be a
surprise in some small thing, as when
a New Jersey strawberry grower finds
a temporary glut of berries on the mar
ket, but q general overproduction
exists nowhere. Our processes of
productions are finite, hedged In on
every hand, there is thus far
and no farther Place beside this
our infinite power of consumption. a
mathematician might object to the use
of infinite in this connection, but il
the power of consumption is not in
finite no man or nation has ever been
able to find the limit. Who has con-
sumed of bread and meat, of hats and
coats, of the thousand articles of daily
life, all that he would be glad to con-
sumo? The things we want are more
than the things we can obtain. If this
is SO, there can be no widespread over
production. l remember being in 3
