The United States Circuit Court of Appeals yes

The STYLE of the suit is Mrs Leonora Augusta

woman who is the wife Of Thomas f.. Arnold
brother of John H. V. Arnold sued to get possession
Of her fathers estate. The defence was that she

vivacious ana picturesque opinion. decided in favor
Of Mr.. Chesebrough. The appellate court confirms
the judgment of the lower court Judges wallace
and Shlpman agreeing with Judge Lacombe The
third member of the court Judge Wheeler, wrote
a dissenting opinion.
In 1888 Blazus NJ. Chesebrough. who was also
known George NJ. Chesebrough. met Josephine

only sixteen years old. They lived together as
man and WIFE registering such in various hotels

RICH AT THE CITY'S EXPENSE.
HIGH TAX RATE AND LEVY UNDER THE
RULE OF BROOKLYN DEMOCRATS.
UNSUCCESSFUL, ATTEMPT OF THE RING TO
PROVE THIS UNTRUE-SOMETH1NG FOR
VOTERS 10 REMEMBER.

VOTERS TO REMEMBER.
The effort Is being made by the Democratic
campaign managers In Brooklyn TO spread abroad
the impression that the tax rate under Democratic
rule is lower than under Republican management
OF the city affairs. For this purpose they go back
to the Administration OF Mayor Schroeder when the
tax rate was high. as II had been under his Demo-
cratic predecessors on account Of the Initiation or
everything in the years succeeding the war BY
placing the rate then with that OF the four years
of Mayor Low they succeed in making slightly
favorable showing for the six years OF Mayors
Chaplin and Body. But the manifest unfairness OF
this is apparent when comparison Is made Tor the
last twelve years. taking the four Republican years
under Mayor Low and the eight Democratic years
under Mayors Whitney. Chaplin and Body. The
assessed valuations Of property have been nearly
doubled since Mayor Low took Office. but the in
has been far greater In recent years than
formerly. Under Mayor Low the increase was
from $255.OCD 900 in round numbers to S3o,Homo,
while under his successors the total has been
swollen to 0O0o0.0O0
In this connection it may be pointed out that one
of the Democratic assessors, for his services in
swelling taxable values has been rewarded with
the nomination to the lucrative Office of Sheriff
this fall Under Mayor Low the tax levy for city
purposes only was increased from about 100000
to s7.OG0O0, while under the Democratic Mayors
who succeeded him the total has grown to nearly
81. 1900. The comparison holds true In re-
gard to the rate. Tho average rate OF taxa
ton for the four years OF the Administration OF
Mayor Low 81 60 on 500 of valuation. while for
the eight years OF Mayors Whitney Chaplin and
Body the average is s. II.
The following table gives the assessed valuations,
total tax levies and for the last dozen years
the first four OF them under Republican rule and
the last eight under Democratic.
