HALF A MILLION LESS
Property That This Year
Becomes Exempt From
Local Taxation.
AN INCREASED RATE LIKELY
Though Economy Is Being Now
Practiced in All Departments
Personal Taxes.

At the least calculation $403.5 500 of rata
hles viii have to be dropped from the city's
total amount Of assessable property during
the coming year. These figures are based
on the ~surrenderipg of $23S,000 of PennsJl-
yania Railroad property to the State Board
Of Taxation, $50, 900 of City Hall property
now exempt, and $4,000 which represents
the assessed valuation of the lands Of the
new Catholic Cemetery, which is now ex-
empt. The loss Of nearly a half
million of ratables will have a
slight effect upon next years a
rate apd viii, unless the current ex-
penses Of the city government are reduced,
cause it to jump up one or two cents and
perhaps more. Besides the loss referred to,
calculation has to be made for the reduc-
lions ordered each year by the Commission
ers Of Appeal.
PENNsY's PROPERTY.
+ On May l, when the Tax Board organized,
the members Immediately made an inspec-
ton of blocks Is and "A, at Bay and First
streets, owned by the Pennsylvania Rail
road. Last year that property was taxed by
the local board for Se38, 000. The company
appealed from the assessment and the State
Board Of TexaEons notified the local board
that 1t would assess the property In dispute.
The local board refused to- submit to sucha
course, and on November % re-confirmed
the original assessment. The confirmation
resolution was approved by Mayor Wanser
the following day.
This year tho property is covered with
freight houses, and goes to the State Board.
The payment OF last years taxes will prob
ably be settled by tho courts.

effort than usual to collect personal taxes.

not show where the fault is, for the pas

Of the accident Opinions are much di-
vided on the subject. but The general
feeling is that the captain Of Marechal
CAnrubert WAS very imprudent in trying,
with II vessel making twelve knots, 10
pass IN front of ten mcn-of-war, cover
ing a large space and making seventeen
or eighteen knots.
What seems To have excited the admi-
ration Of all was the presence of mind
aud activity shown by the captain and
crew of each vessel IN the terrible situa-
ton which lasted nearly sixteen min
utes. before the Mmechal Canrobert
sank
The captain of the Hochc had grapplcd
the Marechal Canrobert. and his sailors,
rushing ON board, seized the passengers
and hurried them on the deck of the gun
boat Not till they felt that the steam
ship was going down did the sailors hurry
back to the Hoche, The captain of the

Hospitals, as we now understand the
term, are of modern growth. True it is,
as Mr.. Burdett tells us in the historical
section of "lIospitals and Asylums of the
World, " that in the records of Egypt and
ancient India we find illusions to institu-
lions that foreshadow the hospitals of later
times, and even our asylums for sick an
imals are borrowed from the east
An inscription engraved on rock near
the city of Surat tells how Asoka, king
who reigncd in Gujerat i'll the third cen
tury i. c., commanded the establishment
of hospitals in all his dominions and
placed one at each of the four gates of the
roval city of patua. Six hundred years
after this Fa- Hian, an intelligent Chinese
traveller who visited India in 399 A. D.,
records that Asoka's hospitals still existed
and hourished, but the successive floods Of
conquest swept all away, and by the be-
ginning of this century only hospital for
animals remained of all the pious king 8
foundations. Quarterly Review.

The Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone company is meeting with consider
able trouble with its underground system
in various parts of the city, and have lost
great many wires. The principal
trouble hes III the grounding of the
wires, that is the wires become barred,
the insulation being penetrated in some
way or other, aud the dampness causes
the current to leak into the earth, caus-
ing what Is known in electric parlance
as a ground This prevents the use
of the wires beyond the point where the
ground occurs. Six or seven cables,
containing from l20 to $50 wires, have
been affected within the past few weeks.
All of the cables affected have been re-
placed with new ones without the sub
scribers discovering that there was any
thing wrong. Baltimore American.

broke one of the prettiest of the st.
Johns girls was married to wealthy
INewfoundlander Among their wedding
presents was a house and grounds

row gave that fatal kick to Mr.. Brien.

stopped telegram was handed to the
bridegroom 1t said simply: Come

reached home in time to see the burning
of both their parents homes. Their own
little home aud all the brides trousseau,
which she had left there, having no use
for it in her country outing, had been in
ashes for good half hour. BY the first
Irelief ship. which arrived from Halifax
three days later the bridegroom re-
.ceived bundle Of old clothes.
With the bundle came a note from an
old friend. which said: Dear Will
dare say some Of your employees or
s0me other poor beggar who has been
burned ont will be able to make use of
these old toys | dare say you'll be able
