ming to make their appearance and the
government officials are cautioning the

Must Pay Taxes.

The test case of the Albuquerque
National bank which refused to pay taxes
because some of its stock was held in
Vermont and elsewhere, has just been
decided by the U. 3. supreme court, which
holds that the New Mexico statute relative
to taxing such stock is valid and must be
complied with. The official record in the
case reads:
"No. 10, the Albuquerque National
bank, appellant, vs.. Jose L. Perea, sheriff,
etc., appeal from the supreme court Of
the territory of New Mexico; decree
affirmed with costs. Opinion by Justice
Brewer"
This is big legal victory for Solicitor
General Bartlett who represented the
territory in this case while W. B. Ohildsrs
represented Vie bsuk.

A TALK WITH MR.. MEYERS.

Representative Meyers has the courage
of his convictions. He is opposed to any
exemption law, and Notwithstanding
that the speaker has served notice on
him that he will oppose his amendment
on the floor, the gentleman from Berna-
lilo adheres to his resolution to oppose
the bill when it comes up in the house.
In conversation with the New Mex
loan he said: 'This exemption bill
ought to be entitled bill to encourage
fraud and perjury.
"Men worth thousands will unhesitating
ly swear that they are not worth $500. l
am in favor of every measure that helps
the people, and desire that every man
should have chance to succeed; but
when proposition is advanced by which
one man pays the taxes of four others,
because of an exemption law, you can put
me down as against it; and want to 60
on record in that way. 1t is not good
legislation to say that one man shall pay
the taxes and three or four others shall
have the privilege of burying his vote
out of sight when it comes to an cleo
ton"

SANTA FE, N. NJ, Jan. 6-In yesterdays

YANKEE SHREWDNESs.

Instead of Being an elephant" the
state Worlds Fair building Brought
$4,000.
The shrewdness of the Connecticut YAM
kee is proveTbial. An instance in which
this characteristic Is well defined comes to
light Just now when the state buildings at
the Worlds fair have to be disposed of.
The various state boards of managers are
required by the exposition company to re-
move their buildings and leave the prem
Uses in good condition. Some of the build
ings are offered to wreckers for nothing;
for some mere pittance is received. and
as for such a palatial structure as the New
York building-lt cant be. given away
Executive commissioners are worrying by
day and lying awake by night over the
question-how shall We get rid of it? The
Connecticut board of Worlds fair mama
gers, on the other hand, saw this state of
things from the outset and decided to
avoid the annoyance at the close. They
stipulated that the state building should
revert to the possession of the builders at
the close of the exposition. The builders
were also Connecticut Yankees, the Tracy
Brothers of Waterbury, and they sold the
building more than year ago to a resi-
dent of Chicago for $3.OOO-to be de
livered to him at the close of the fair
Now the aforesaid resident of Chicago is
worrying himself about it. The present
concensus of opinion in and about jackson
park is that there was much good business
sense displayed by the Connecticut board
of Worlds fair managers at the outset, and
that the shrewd common sense Yankee
still abides in the land of wooden nut
meCs.

I1suasaAna q, HallorMn TELLS what He WIN
M "a Nxaiaa.


PTTTsBURe, Nov. 2A-Lieutenante T. NJ.
O'Halloran, nautical expert of the United
States photographic Office In New York
city, who is TO sail for Brazil in charge of
the Britannia, was In PittsburR, bidding
old friends goodby previous to his depar-
ture for the scene OF conflict in the BRAZIL
ian revolution.
In an interview Lieutenant O'Halloran
said: "The plan of attack decided upon by
Peixoto will be to force surrender or
blow up the insurgent fleet. 1t is a we'll
known fact that tho rebel strength lies
wholly in its fleet and that its land forces
are so small as to be not worth considera-
ton. The Nictheroy and the America will
not be expected TO combat Mello's ships
single handed.
Before reaching Rio, At the rendezvous
agreed upon, these two vessels will be
joined by the Riacheulo and the Benjamin
Constant, two armor plated French YES
sells, fully equipped, !. and 80 first class tor
pedo boats, This win make strong feet,
and it win proceed to Rio harbor to do bat
tie with the rebel admiral.
IF Mello should see fit to stick TO his
position in the harbor, the Nictheroy will
anchor behind n projecting portion of the
mainland at the harbor mouth, within
easy range of Mello's fleet, but out of range
of its projectiles, and from this point OF
vantage will pour its charges of dynamite
into the insurgents. Should Mello at
tempt to come out into the open sea and
fight it out, he will be given Il reception
calculated to startle him."

A observing business man, who has
had occasion to pltroniZo ct one time or
another nearly every restaurant in the
purely commercial section of the city,
has discovered an odd relationship be-
tween two articles of diet which rarely
if ever occur singly upon a bill of fare.
You can be reasonably sure" he said
the other day. that when you see liver
and bacon set down among the edibles
you will not have to look far to discover
that you can also obtain chicken liver
omelet.' Perhaps this will explain, The
added cynically, why it is that so often
the liver of the first dish appears in small
triangular pieces in the omelets."
The gentleman might have transferred
his observances also 10 certain up town
restaurants which cater TO the swell
members of society. Its dollars to dough
nuts that in at least one-half of those
which boast of their fine cooking, when
ever terrapin Ia Maryland or Philadel
phia or any other style is to be had, il
will require but little urging to obtain
fried pigs feet.
Pigs feet and diamond back terrapin
do not closely resemble one another in
their natural state, but what difference
when they are stewed. either separately
or together. with Madeira wine and vari-
Gus concomitants! An epicure only can
detect the subterfuge by the slightly
larger bones Of the pigs trotters.-New

Why People Dislike a Book Agent.

What is there about a book agent or
a peddler of any kind that is so distaste-
full to the ordinary citizen of today"
said Martin Cole. The efforts Of these
people to make living is conscientious,
and am positive there is no work on
the face of the earth that is half so
wearisome or soul trying as this one
thing Of canvassing books. There is no
satisfaction in it and not even good
living. Every one turns with disgust
from the book agent. Probably it Is
because people cannot brook anything
outside of the regular lines of trade.
They prefer TO have things in their pro
per places-books in book store, candy
in a candy store and the like throughout
the long list of earthly articles that
we use. Then they want the stores close
at hand, so that they can rush ont and
secure what they want, paying spot cash
for it.
These are what people term the le-
gitimate lines of trade, and they are.
Then when peddler arrives, the mer-
chant or the ordinary citizen immediate
ly figures ont that anything that must
be brought about TO him 10 effect a sale
must not be good. 1t is outside the le-
gitimate line, and if it were good 1t would
simply be placed upon the market
through the ordinary channels and left
for the public 10 conceive its merits. So,
then, figure out that this dissatisfaction
with book agents and the like resolves it
self into the great law of order, which is
an innate desire in the heart of every
one."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Set the jail on Fire.

MONTICELLO, n. ", Nov. 24.-Lizzie Hal
liday, the triple murderess, confined in the
Monticello jail, is endeavorinE to defeat
the ends of justice by trying to take her
own life. Since her fruitless efforts to
strangle the sheriff's wife she has resisted
the taking of any kind of solid food and
seems resolutely bent ON starvation. DIR.
+. A. McWilliams, the Jail physician, has
pumped food into her stomach for four
days past under a strong protest on her
part.
Finding that she could not starve her
self, she endeavored to end her life by fir
ing the Jail. A coal stove had been placed
in her cell, which is the only means of
warming it She ignited the bed clothing
from the burning Goals and was only frus-
trated in her plans by the arrival Of the
sheriff, who found the bed in flames. An
ucipating such an act, he had placed a bar
rel of water in close proximity to the cell
door, and with the aid of the Jail assist
ants the fire was eXtinguished. \ night
and day watch is now kept over her to
keep her from burning herself and the
other inmates Of the Jail.

In the superior court at New Haven to-
day, before Judge Hall, hearing was
given in regard to the Durham street
grade crossing. In 1887 the railroad
commissioners ordered the crossing abol-
ished and fixed the city's share of the ex-
pense at So 900. Since that time new
law has been passed making railroad COM
panies pay the whole expense of eliminat-
ing grade crossings, and City Attorney
Burpee appealed to the superior court to
compel the railroad company to eliminate
the crossing.
