year, and all but a few thousand dol
lars of this amount have been expend-
ed. Last years expenses are 1885,
2So.43 greater than in 1898, but this
increase includes some big outstand-
ing orders for 1898.
The valuation of the county in 1904
was $4S,96317I, and the tax, assessed
at the rate of 6 mills, amounted to
S293,779.o3. The taxes for 1898

valuation, the rate being 81 mills.
Last years receipts from license

For his fourth annual tour Mr.. Will
fred Clarke, the distinguished Ameri-
can comedian, has surrounded himself
with a comedy of the highest order of
excellence and is presenting refined
standard comedy in its most approved
form. Mr.. Clarke's season began at
Camden, N. j., Monday, December
10th. In his company are the follow
ing players whose abilities are well
known: Miss Helen Guest, the bril-
liant and talented commedlenne, late
of Charles Frohman's company H.
Willard Storm, of the Booth Barrett
company Christine Ellsworth, the
great society card at the Girard Ave
nue. Theatre, Philadelphia, and the
charming comedienne Angela Segalini,
of Manager Hollands Philadelphia
Stock Company, Mr.. Clarke carries
special scenery for the plays he is pre-
senting this year, and every perfor-
nance is characterized by an attention
to artistic detail usually only found
In the few large cities of the country.
He will be seen in this city on the
evening of Wednesday, January 23,
giving his great performance Of "Tit
for Tat" a side splitting farcical com
edy of his acting in which the Wash,
ington Post said
"Wilfred Clarke, the bright young
comedian, played at the Academy of
Music last night before delighted
audience in his side splitting comedy
"Tlt for Tat" Mr.. Clarke came fully
up to the high standard which was
predicted in advance. In this produc-
tion Clarke is supported by a most
excellent company, but he is, ofcourse,
the central figure of the play. The
audience is made to witness some of
the most excruciatingly ludricrous sit
uations and complications, all depend
ing upon the manner of acting of the
chief player, who is intensely funny.
His facial expressions are something
extraordinary. 1t can be safely said
that as an interpreter of refined com
edy, his equal has not been seen in
Washington this season. The perfor
nance was complete success.
