" hat the People are Saying.

nav eno Eeople drS Sdyl ing.
No one blames Mr.. Brand for
making a lucrative bargain with
the city to collect back taxes, but
the people generally condemn the
Brand business, as an unnecessary
expense suddled upon the taxpay-
ers; as a very unbusiness like
transaction on the part of the city.
The decision recently had in a
tax case went so far as to hold good
Brands contract, so it is reported.
Not having the text of this deci-
sion at hand, we are unable to dis
cuss its bearing upon the case, but
will venture the assertion that the
court did not hold that the turning
over to Mr.. Brand the tax rolls of
1913 was legal, as Mr.. Brands writ
ten contract with the city did not
embrace 1913.
1t certainly will not do to hold
that the city, under its charter, can
erect separate tax collecting es-
tablishment to collect back taxes.
The city collector is the only
authorized officer to collect taxes.
Mr.. Brand collected money from
taxpayers and the whole thing is
in muddle.
The Brand business was the
most unfortunate undertaking by
the present city administration.
1t aroused the animosity of tax
payers, and brought the admins
tration into disrepute. 1t forced
the city into litigation which could
have but one termination--defeat.
The public ar1given to under
stand that the recent decision is
not conclusive. Gov. Culberson is
trying to down a state court be-
cause its decision is contrary to his
idea. will be found that the
courts are masters of the situation
every time.
Our people are willing, faithful,
prompt taxpayers, but they natur-
ally rebel against Brand contracts
and slipshod legislation, passed in
defiance of charter provisions.
~ X
Paying taxes has become a mat
ter of force, not voluntary action.
The taxpayer pays as little as he
can.
1t Is not from a sense of pat
riotism or a feeling of generosity
that the people pay taxes. They
recognize that they have author
lied the corporate powers to put
them in debt and to carry on a city
government which they must pay
for, but there is an idea prevalent
that the taxpayers are being bled
unnecessarily,-that city govern
ment has become unreasonably ex-
trayagant-that the public trusts
have become private snaps.
The people are continually de-
handing that their money be
spent to the best advantage, and
not wasted.
The people are exacting and
they have right to be.

filled with interesting state exhibits. The valuable historic relics that will be sent to the exposition from Massachu- setts will not be on view at the Long fellow house. but will be displayed in a separate fireproof structure. The cost of the Longfellow mansion will be $6,O0O.
 The states exhibit in the building will consist largely in illustrations of her public institutions and improved methods of administration of the de- partments of state. The idea is to show the state's progress rather than to make an exhibit merely of antiquities and commercial products. There will be numerous exhibits showing the educa- tional and prison methods in vogue. Among the other states New York will be represented at Atlanta by $25, 1000 building that will be sort of club house for visiting New Workers.

A Chinaman Tells What isc Knows About
 Her.
 Only couple of blocks from The Spokesman Review office is a Chinese laundry, the presiding genius of which is a man of wonderful insight and re- markedly wise sayings Won Chung is his name. The other day, as Chung had just filled his mouth with water, Wee Gee came in with big bundle of clothes, and setting them down beside the stove said:
 "What for ladee allee timee lear plants and lidee bicycle?"
 Won Chung slowly and deliberately squirted the water in his mouth over the clothes before him and turning toward his partner gave him look of deep sympathy.
 "You no sabee what for? You heap blig fool Ladee likee be alice samee man. She likee lear plants, vest, neck tlye and lawkee with her hands in plants plockets.

 "Ladee no lear plants hkee Melicee l man; she lear plants hkee Chinaman. What for likee that?' interposed Gee, who just then noticed a lady bicyclist go past.

Miss Gurney's s father was quite we'll to do at one time and was a partner in the Gurney bank, but reverses overlook him and he lost all his property.
 In this emergency Mrs Gurney opened 9 millinery store in London, and her two daughters assisted her. The busi- ness failed to prove profitable, however, and the two girls were compelled to become assistant saleswomen in the shop of Mime. Elise, the Regent street modiste. While they were thus em- ployed Lady Henry Somerset and her sister, the Duchess of Bedford, heard their story, and kindness of heart led them to adopt the girls. Rachel became the daughter of the Duchess of Bedford and in about year was married to Lord Dudley. Her sister became Lady Somerset's adopted daughter and is now Lady Trowbridge.
 Previous to his matrimonial venture Lord Dudley had been devoting his en- ergies mainly to sowing large crop of wild oats, but marriage to Rachel Cur ney seemed to have sobering effect on the lively young earl. His natural com mon sense came to his rescue, and he is now an active and successful politician, a clever parliamentary debater and a shrewd business man. The value of his vast mining interests has nearly dou' bled siSce he began to look after his af. fairs with more care, and his talents have won for him small parliamentary office under the Salisbury regime re gently inaugurated. Rachel Gurney i: said to be the only peeress of the realm who was bona fide shopgirI, but judg ing from the reformation she has effect ed in Lord Dudley he might easily have aimed higher matrimonially and faret worse.

The house is of quaint old colonial architecture, is the ideal home for a great poet, and no visitor to Boston who pretends to see the sights fails to make a pilgrimage to the picturesque structure.
 The building in Atlanta will be ex- actly the same size as the original and will be painted white and yellow, fur nishing one of the best types of colonial architecture that could possibly be se- cured for the exposition. The interior will be severely plain and no attempt will be made to have it resemble the Longfellow mansion. There will be an upper and lower hall, which will be

The Origin of Billiards.

In letter dated 1750, which has heen presented to tho Bibliotheque Natiorale in Paris, a highly ingenious account is given of the origin of billiards. The writer de- clares that billiards were invented in Eng land about the middle of the sixteenth century by a pawnbroker named Bill Kew. This man, it is alleged, used in his leisure moments to rluy on his counter with three brass balls which he hung up as a sign. For a cue he had Il yard measure, whence the term Bill-yard, or Dill's yard, corrupt ed into billiards. This ctymology will hardly satisfy Mir. Skeat, but it is at least curious as showing to what length the speculative etymologist is apt to go. The most astonishing thing about it, however, is the fact that it is the work of French man, who might have soen at q glance that billiards is merely a corruption of his own word billiard from "bille," a ball, the termination lard" being perfectly regular and natural in tho composition of a word intended to designate the table up on which the balls arc used

Captain Oliver Tcbeau the Bete NoIre of
 the Umpires-Unole AnsOn on B stilI
 Hunt For New Pitchers-How Can the
 'KickinE" of Players Re Prevented9
 Every year there arises a adiscussion over tho merits or demerits of playing managers of ball teams. The question of course has its two sides, and each side has its warm advocates. Therefore 1t is by no means settled In the baseball public's mind that a club Is better off to have its manager among its players than to have him as a nonparticipant in tho game. St. Louis Chicago, Cleveland Cincinnati, PittsburR and New York have managers who arc ac tive players. The other National league clubs employ managers who never put on a uniform unless in one or two instances as Irwin of Philadelphia, McCloskey of Louisville and Foutz of Brooklyn, when the uniform is donned to permit the man. ager to coach.
 Last year Anson began the season as manager by sitting on the bench in citizen dress. It didn't work well in his case, and not till he took up his knickerbockers and went back upon the nine did he succeed in impressing his players with his strong per sonality. presume, after all it is not so much question of playing or not playing
 
 Anson, Doyle, Tebeau and Ew, ; will do better by taking part in each game and participating in tho work of the team, be it good, bad or indifferent. But the Han Ions, Seeles and Schmelzes are not built for effective service in uniform.
 Next to Anson the most successful man. ager among those who play on their mines is Captain Oliver Tebeau of Cleveland, more familiarly known as Patsy. Exactly where his success lies is hard to decide. He is, however, what is called fighter. When it comes to that quality, Anson must rank below him. The nearest rival he has in his peculiar methods is Manager Doyle of New York, who, believe, a6 one time, was Tebeau's pupil Patsy can heap more misery upon an umpire's life in one after noon perhaps than any man who ever managed ball teaAl. He is the umpire's bete noire. With him kicking is profes- sional lifo, and when he does kick at de- cision it is no half hearted affair, but is full of his whole soul. On such occasions MT. Tebeau's language is not always pure, simple and sweet. Indeed he has the rep utation of being able to express himself on such occasion with more force than ele- gance.
 This season he has been particularly un- fortunate. Accident after accident has kept him off his nine. Perhaps I should express it as the topper did when he was brought before the judge for the sixth time. His honor scowled and thundered: "What! Drunk aSain?" ''No, your hon.
