RAILWAY ASSESSMENTS INCREASED.
This Years Rates as Fixed by the
State tquaIizers.
Central Pacific Increased S25O.OOO
and the North Pacific Coast $780,
OO0-One Road Reduced.

The State Board Of Equalization yes
terday completed the assessment of the
various railroads in the State. The fig
ures are the same as those OF last year,
except in the cases of the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company. which is incr eased
from $4,000, 900 to SIG, $50, 900; the North
Pacific Coast Railroad Company, which
10 increased from 100000 to $3.50. 900. and
the Southern California Motor Road Com
pany, the assessment of which has been
reduced from $72. 900 to 100000.
The reasons given for making the in
creases mentioned are that the southern
Pacific has increased its mileage, and the
North Pacific Coast Railroad should have
been previously assessed at higher
figure.
The principal reason given for the re-
duction of the Motor Road Company's
assessment is that it pays out more for
operating expenses than it earns.

UNVEILED.

That was an inspiring and impress sive scene at East Rock Park yester- day afternoon. The Lewis memorial was worthily celebrated. The oration of Editor Osborn was appropriate, ap- preciative and eloquent. Mayor Hen drick's response was dignified and fit ting. The earth and the sky were in tune, the multitude present was deep- ly interested, the exercises proceeded smoothly, and the whole affair was of a character to make it memorable part of New Haven's history.
 Probably nothing was needed to vindicate the wisdom of those who se- lected the site of the memorial, but if anything was it was supplied by the silent and spoken approval of those who were present at yesterdays exer- cises and saw how we'll placed the memorial is. The precedent establish ed by the selection is an important one and one which it-is to be hoped will be, faithfully followed. Both the East and the West rock parks are grandly suita- ble places for memorials of those who have done or may do New Haven good and conspicuous service. These mem- orials need not be ali in the shape of busts or full length statues. They can
 and perhaps should take the form of mental additions to the parks. But | the names and the flames of New Ha- ven's great and good ones can be no
 more enduringly or worthily perpetu- ated than by connecting them forever with one or the other of our noble parks.
 If there was any flaw in yesterdays exercises it was to be found in the fact that the two gentlemen who furnished the chief impetus that led to the se- Election of the memorials lovely site were not more prominent in them.
 Messrs. Doolittle and Rogers did their full duty in the matter of the site and did it under rather trying circum- stances. It would not have been
 amiss to recognize their public spirit
 and public service by giving them a
 more conspicuous part in the crowning of the great work But everything
 cannot always be thought of, and if there has been any Expenditures we will do our part toward remedying it ! by hereby heartily expressing to 1 Messrs. Doolittle and Rogers our part of the gratitude due them.

A Byron Statue.

The statue that has now been, so to speak, in everybody's mouth is Fall guiere's Byron" It is a statue, or rather a. group, worth talking about. It represents the poet as in his Cam bridge-and- d-curl-papers period. Hellas is preparing to take him in her arms. A slave from whom he as just knocked off the irons is rising into freedom athis feet. The allegory cost eight thousand pounds. The donors name is modestly inscribed in gold upon the plinth. He was Dimitri Stepanovik Skylitzi, and you probably never heard of him.
 He must, however, have been pretty we'll known over here at one time when he was Something in the city" Something that seems to have meant several millions, it was. He realized and retired to what, having been born at Constantinople, he always spoke of fondly as his native Athens. There he built himself a sort of lordly mauso- leum in the fashionable thoroughfare familiarly known as Emily Avenue; and there he conceived the idea of inl- mortalizing himself on the plinth of a statue of Byron. But he wanted to be immortalized in the Place de la Con- corde. He even offered to endow his native city with the first-class hospital it wants so badly, if Tricoupis would grant him the site he coveted for his statue. But, for some reason or other, the minister couldn't see his way to this. He offered the faddist a nice lit tie site amid the ruins and the rose gardens of the zappion; that, he said, was the best he could do.
 So Skyltzi shut up his mausoleum in
 Emily avenue and went off to Paris in
 wrath. In wrath he spent the price of the hospital on the Parisian Greek tenn pie which rejoices-or otherwise-the eye of the beholder to-day. In wrath
 he used to go to Falguiere's studio and survey his Byron, and shake his fist in
 the direction of Athens and Tricoupis. In wrath he eventually died.
 The question then arose: What, in the absence of any testamentary dispo- sition relating thereto, was to become of the statue They tried to sell it on the spot. Nobody wanted it. It was
 offered in this country, also without result. It was offered all around. It got at last to the Argentine Republic. It was, possibly, thought that Jabez
 might buy it. But that capitalist. it
 seemed, had had enough of the. Libera- tor, with or without Byron. So the l heir shipped it home Next time VOL

THOMAS BEYEYs, PR0TgsT.

Thomas Beyers, of Petrona, Indiana
 has raised a very interesting question. He may not live to see it answered, as he is suffering from disease which will probably prove as fatal to him as it will to his physician, Dr. Ellwood Overstreet. Dr. Overstreet was called in to look at Beyers and try to save his life. He looked and decided that Beyers' hope was in morphine. Beyers told the doctor that he had rooted ob- jections to morphine, and that he would rather remain uncured than admit this insidious drug into his system. He warned the doctor that he would re- sist any attempt to give him morphine with every means at his command. Beyers appears to have been in full pos session of all his mental faculties at the time and the physician seems to have been fully aware of that fact. Unable to overcome his patients objections to morphine by persuasion or argument, Dr. Overstreet finally attempted to give Beyers a hypodermic injection of nor phine by force and arms. Beyers re- sisted with all his might and, finally, finding himself in imminent danger of

For School Girls.

lfrOm dafperS Round IaDle.I
 If were a girl again, and could go to school, I would be careful, at least I think would be careful not to lose any time. Yours is foundation work, and 1t is very important that this should be- because the habits of care and dili- gence you are forming in your class rooms will help you through your whole lives. It is really less what you study than the way you study it which is the main thing to be considered now.
 A girl at school cannot, of course, always be provided with every appli- ance for her work, but, as a rule, she ought to have her own books, her own pads, pencils, ink-eraser, crayons, draw ing paper, penknife, and whatever else she needs in order to do her work, so that she is under no necessity to bor- row from her friends. What would you think of a. carpenter who came to your house without tools, and had to ask the loan of some? or a. doctor who forgot his prescription book or his med icines, and had to lose time and pains until he could send around to an ac- quaintance and procure others, while his patient was waiting to be relieved? Have your tools, girls, and keep them in order, and, If you must sometimes lend, exact a speedy return, politely and gently, but firmly for we must sometimes insist on our rights, and then just as firmly resolve not to borrow un- less the circumstances are exceptional. Have your own tools.
 School books should be laid aside as you leave them for other and more ad vaneed books, neither given away nor parted with out of the family, though you may allow a younger sister or brother to use them, If you choose. By and-by you may be glad to have your school books to refer to, and you will find that they are as useful as much larger volumes, and easier to keep at hand; they have been prepared by learned and thoughtful experts, and have the advantage of being carefully condensed. After your school life is over you will very much enjoy the pos session of a shelf afull of text books, once your daily companions.
