father, Samuel Ray. however, was not
satisfied and wanted the matter inves-
tigated by the court. A quarrel ensued
and Henderson grabbed a hatchet and
split Rays head open. and on the way
out met Mrs. Ray. Mrs. McFar. a sis
ter of his victim. and Thomas Starkey.
He struck each in turn on the head
with his hatchet and then made his
escape. The injured parties are in a
serious condition, but none have yet
died. The whole town is securing the
country for Henderson.

II the Cuban revolutionists are. wise
and they seem to have developed posses
sion of the rather uncommon quality of
wisdom-they will be satisfied to carry out
q policy in which patience Is quite con-
spicuous factor. No matter what the num-
Der or fighting ability of the insurgents
they could not hope to successfully do bat
tie In the open with the trained troops of

fore that the best plan Of campaign Is one
that will permit the summers heat and the
fever-breeding miasma to operate upon the
unacclimated soldiers recently sent to the
island. But. after ALL Cuba's main reliance
is not on the deadly atmospheric conditions
common In those portions Of Cuba where
the more active revolutionists are congre-
gated; Spain's financial weakness Is likely
to be Cuba's strength in this struggle
Even now on the verge of bankruptcy and
with no hope Of increased income. Spain
must ere long come to the conclusion that
valuable as Cuba Is 1t must inevitably cost
very much more than 1t Is worth, and
when that opinion prevails In the Castilian
mind there will soon follow Spanish en-
deavor to get rid Of Cuba on the best pos
sible terms. 1t Is by no means impossible
that at not far distant date Spain may
ask the United States to give 1t bid on
Cuba and thus settle a problem that has
been bothering the land of Ferdinand and

HYGI ENIC
lCE::
PUREST,
HARDEST,
BEST.
Made of Pure Spring Water

INTELLIGENT PCBLIC OPINION awards
the honors to HYGIENE ZOE. The water
from which 1t Is made comes in springs"
from great depths. and scientists who have
examined them say as far awny as from the
Blue Ridge mountains. This remote source
explains the absolute freedom of the water
from every evidence of surface influence.
The output from these so-called Federal
Springs President WASHINGTON sought to
secure by purchase from their then owner
for use Of the city which was to bear his
honored name. In this he failed. but after
the lapse of many years the aim of the
father Of his country and the godfather of
the capital city has been achieved through
the instrumentality Of modern methods, by
which in uniform cubes of crystal ice this
wonderful flow of absolutely pure water is
placed at the disposal Of every home in the
National Capital.
THE PURITY AND SUPERIORITY OF
HYGIENE ICE has been proved by the con-
slant growth in patronage Of our best peo-
plc-peOple who have for themselves recog-
nlzed the need of securing the best obtain
able for article important In the
family as its ice. Fof the sick room, for the
table and for every other home purpose its
use is urged by many of our best physicians.
In the process of production all the water

the sparkling transparency and subsequent
hardness peculiar to hygienic ice, Us we'll
as absolute freedom from all dangers In ice
whose history is uncertain, or in ice pro-
duced from water not thus subjected to
prolonged heat.
THE HYGIENE ICE COMPANY frankly
asks for your patronage. 1t offers you Its
product at low rates as are quoted by
any responsible company, and will guaran-
tee you during the coming summer season
prompt, continuous and ample service. This
will be the sixth season in which this COM
pany has served the public. 1t has. by

every customer, large as we'll rs SMALL and

all times encourages the criticisms Of its
patrons when these take the form OF sug-
gestions for Improvement the aim OF
the management has been and will always
be to render its service irst-class In every
respect.
WITH IMPROVED AND INCREASED FA-
CH.rTIES for regular deliveries to every
part of the city, every customer can abso-
solutely rely upon prompt and full delivery
in the hottest weather. when ice is abso-
lutely necessary.

Great Britain's mission to possess as much

Assessor Trimble's surprise at the ex-
tremely small reduction In the assessment
reported by the board Of assessors and
made public in The Star yesterday Is shared
BY very large majority. II not all, Of the
property owners in the District of Column
bia. About three months ago the assessors
estimate Of the probable reduction of what
was universally conceded to be an exorbit-
ant assessment was that 1t would be quite
Is per cent, and probably more. So well
satisfied was the assessor with that esti-
mate that upon 1t an important official re-
port was based-a report that unquestiona-
bly, had great influence in Congress as to
District appropriations Now comes definite
information that the assessment-which
was alleged to have undergone revision
has been decreased only a little more than
2 per cent. The practical result Of this
failure to revise will be the creation of ad-
ditional surplus to the extent of more than
half q million dollars. This large sum-
taken lawfully but inequitably and I'M
necessarily from the taxpayers at the ma
tional capitaI-cannot possibly be produc-
tive Of profit for 1t will not even ultimately
find Its way into channels that lead to local
improvement: It will be flung into the wa
terrified shafts Of the discredited and dis
creditably useless aqueduct tunnel This
must have been apparent to the board Of
assessors, and that same body must also
have been thoroughly aware of the unani-
nous and reasonable disfavor with which
the last assessment was received; it is
therefore difficult to understand why the
board has left the assessment practically
unchanged. Relief from this imposition
for that Is really what 1t is-will not be
possible until a new assessment is made.
and that cannot be until next year; mean
while the taxpayers will have to suffer as
patiently as they care to.
