than the Prince of Wales was when lie married,
but he is still younger than all he Prince Of
aleS brothers were at The time of their mar
riage.
The Prince OF Wales was only in his twenty
second year when lie married the Princess
Alexandra OF Denmark, while the Duke OF
Edinburgh waited ill he was 80, and the
Duke OF Connanght and the Duke OF Albany
till they were 20 before they entered the mar
ried state.
The average age of the four sons of The Queen
on their marriage was, therefore, something
between q and % years.
The Processes, daughters of the Queen. were

riage-the Princess Royal IS. The Princess
Alice 49, the Princess Helena 20, the Princess
Louise %. the Princess Beatrice 2S.

The Gypsy BIvthe Claimants.

Attorney Bergin did not make very
long reply to S. W. Holidays argument
on motion for new trial in the Blythe
case. In fact. he barely occupied the
whole of yesterday. Bergin contented
himself mainly by ridiculing the strenuous
efforts made by the Holidays to prove the
Williams letters to be forgeries and by
depreeatng their wholesale accusations
of fraud.
To-day Burke Holiday will speak for
about one hour in reply. and the gypsy
Blythe part of the case will be concluded,
for the present. a. least.

THE TAX LEVY.

1t was discovered some time ago that
there was little use In limiting the tax
levy so long as the amount to be levied
upon remained elastic. Our smart poll
clans were not long in finding out that
per cent on 100000 would produce as
much revenue as per cent on $3.50, 600.
Party platforms have, therefore, limited
the tax rate of both under per cent on a
fixed valuation. Under this rate tha valu-
alton end is 1915, 100000. If the actual
valuation exceeds S275. 100000 the levy
must be reduced correspondingly.
There are two orders now before the
board-one fixing the levy al S103, the
other at Sill. The advocates of the Sill
levy eXult in the fact that the S103 order
breaks the pledge, and remind the advo-
Gates of the lower rate that a broken
pledge is a broken pledge, whether the
fracture is larger or smaller. 1t is appre-
hended, however, that this argument will
not make much impression on Mayor
Ellert. There has been so much juggIery
with the dollar limit by the Legislature
in authorizing the board to segregate GER
tain expenditures from what is termed a
regular expenditure that we may not know
exactly where to find the original dollar
limit. but the Mayor will keep the board
as close to the original point as he can.
There are two members of the Finance
COmmttee-James and Denman-who
have stood up manfully for the dollar
limit. They have done so, first. because
they were pledged to, and second, because
they had become convinced that the limit
furnished revenue enough IL 1t was honestly
expended. There were other men in the
board who seemed determined TO get all
they could. One or two have made their
dishonesty in taking the pledge 50 fragrant
that the party which nominated one OF
them hereafter will be open to the charge
Of Offering premium on official rascaliiy.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

According to the New York and Bos. ton play ITS. Chicago is the only city in the west where visiting league teams are treated fairly by the crowds. In Cleveland. pittshurg and St Louis, the umpires are afraid of their lives and give verythinE to the home team.
 Stafford is a magnificent thrower Roger COnuor says he beats anything in the league on throwing men out at the plate after catching fly ball. There's no bound to it, but the ball sails on a straight line into the catcher's hand.
 For the first time since 1891 Roger ( )nnor will be compelled to miss a game to day. The big first baseman left for Albany lass night to attend the funeral of beloved old aunt and will not return until tomorrow. MIlligan or Kelly will play first in to-day's game. Sun.
 Breitenstein and PeItz, Chris Won der Ahe's pretzel battery, are right in it these days.
 Harry Stovey says he will never play in a western club. He would sooner re- tire than leave the east.
 George Gore is practicing daily. He says he wants a trial from some league club. and may ask Ward to give him a chance.
 Zimmer, who collided with Tucker in Cleveland, is more seriously hurt than was at first supposed. He will not be able to play for some time.
