BENJAMIN BAILEY'S TAXES.
Must the County Lose the Assessment on
$4,000?
The Question to be Determined by
an Action Against the
Sheriff

a friendly action has been COM
menced by Benjamin Bailey against
Sheriff Frank T. Johnson in which the
plaintiff asks the Superior Court to
make an order restraining that official
from selling the property on the north
west corner of Fourth and K streets
the old Postoffice stand-for delinquent
taxes.
Bailey some time since mortgag ed the
property to the State University Re
gents for $4,000, and as State securi-
ties are not taxable, Bailey asked the
Supervisors to cancel the assessment
on his property to that amount.
This the Supervisors declined to do.
The law authorizes the Regents to I'm
vest" their funds in income paying
property, but the Supervisors hold that
this does not refer to lending money on
mortgages; that the income from the
property does not go to the Regents,
and that a loan is not an invest
ment" as contemplated by the law.
If the Regents mortgage is not tax
able, the county loses the taxes on $780,
900 of the value of the property. The
Supervisors declined to capcel the as
sessment, because if the Regents can
lend money on property without limit
1t might be possible for them to take
mortgages on so much of the property
OF the county as to deprive the latter Of
its necessary revenues.
1t is claimed that, while the Supreme
Court has ratified investments" made
by the University Regents, the Ques-
ton of the latter's right to lend money
has never bpen before that tribunal.
AS the Regents will not pay the
State and county taxes on the $4,000,
and as Bailey also declines to pay on
SO much of the property, suit to deter
mine who is right becomes necessary.

DILATORY CITIZENS.
At the Present Rate of Registration
5000 Voters Will Get Left.

Citizens will have to register much
more rapidly than they have thus far
dCne If the county is to poll anything
like full or even an average vote. Only
a little over 600 registrations have been
filed, though the register has been open
for couple Of weeks.
At this rate less than one-half the
voters will be registered, as the regis
ter will remain open but two months.
OF course they will pile in" more nu-
merously toward the last, but there is
no sort of excuse for citizens who live
IN the city neglecting this very import
ant duty, even at the outset.
Later on those from the country will
be coming in, and applicants for regis
tration will be so thick about the
Clerks Office that some will be sub
jected to long and tiresome delays.
No is the time to get on the register
without having to wait for hours for a
chance.

DONNELLY DISCHARGED.

Robbery.

You played in big luck, young fell

James Donnelly as the latter walked
out of the Jail yesterday after having
been acquitted of robbery by jury in
Judge HinkSon'S court.
DOnnelly and some other youths were
arrested for the robbery on Front street
of man named Charles B. Brindupski.
The others were discharged, but Don
nelly was held for trial. At the pre-
liminary examination a youth named
Mcnamara gave strong testimony
against Donnelly, but on the latter's
trial yesterday he weakened very per-
ceptibly. AS it was. many of those
who listened to the trial thought Don
nelly would be convicted. but they did
not guess we'll
When the case had been submitted
some of the jurors asked to be allowed
to ballot without leaving their seats.
They were permitted to do so, and
eleven Of the twelve voted for acquit-
tai The jurors were then sent out by
the court, but the twelfth man yielded
promptly and verdict of acquittal was
returned in a few minutes.

Gladness Comes

ATith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
ard the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

How Elephants Climb.
Phil. Inquirer.

PM. Inquirer.
Elephants are able to make
their way up and dow mountains
and through country of steep
cliffs where mules would not dare
to venture, and where even men
would find passage difficult. Their
tracks have been found upon the
very SUBMITS of mountains Z 900
feet high. In these journeys an
elephant is often compelled to de-
scend hills and mountain sides
which are almost precipitous.
This is the way it is done: The
elephants first maneuver is to
kneel down close to the declivity.
One foreleg is then passed over
the edge and short way down
the slope, and if he finds there
no good foothold he speedily
forms one by stamping in the
soil, if it IS moist or kicking ouJ
footing if it is dry. When be
is sure of good foothold the
other foreleg is brought down in
the same way. Then he per-
forms the same work over again
with his feet, bringing both fore
legs a little in advance for the
first footing. This leaves good
places already made for his hind
feet. Now, bracing himself up
by his huge fore.egs, he draws
up his hind legs, first one and
then the oGher, carefully over
tie edge, where they occupy the
first place made by the forefeet.
That is the way the huge animal
proceeds all the way down, zig
gag, kneeling with his forefeet.
Thus the centre Of gravity is
preserved aud the huge beast
prevented from toppling over on
his nose.

By the President of the United
States:
The people of the United
States should never be unmind-
full of the gratitude they owe the
God Of Nations for His watchful
care has shielded them from dire
disaster and pointed out to them
the way Of peace ana happiness.
Nor should they ever refuse to
acknowledge with contrite hearts
their proneness to turn away
from Gods blessings and follow
with sinful pride after their own
devices.
To the end that these thoughts
may be quickened it is fitting
that on a day especially appoints
ed we should join together in
approaching the throne Of Grace
with praise and supplication.
Therefore, I Grover Cleve-
land, President of the United
States, do hereby designate and
set apart Thursday, the twenty~
sixth day Of the present month
Of November, TO be kept and ob>
served as a day of thanksgiving
and prayer throughout our land.
On that day let all our people
forego their usual work and oc-
cupation, and. assembled in their
accustomed places Of worship.
let them with one accord render
thanks to the Ruler of the Uni
verse for our preservation as a
nation and our deliverance from
every threatened danger; for the
peace that has dwelt within our
boundaries: for our defense
against disease and pestilence
during the year that has passed;
for the pienteous rewards that
have followed the lahors of our
husbandmen, and for all the
other blessings that have bee n
VoushSafed to US.
And let US through the media
ton of Him who has taught US
how to pray, implore the for
siveness OF out sins and cons
tinuation of heavenly favor. Let
US not forget on this day OF
thanksgiving the poor and needy:
and by deeds Of charity let our
offerings of praise be made more
acceptable in the sight of the
Lord.
Witness my hand and seal OF
the United States, which I have
caused to be hereto affixed.
Done at the city of Washing
ton this fourth day of November

Political Support.
Youths Companion.

An old chronicler tells O. a
pretty incident connected with
General Washington and the old
time election day. Washington
voted at all the Fairfax elections
until the close of his life, unis
formly supporting the federal
candidates.
Although he lived at dis
tance from the court house at
Alexandria Market, he generally
voted early in the day. The
polls were reached by flight of
steps outside the building, which
in 1899 had become very shaky
from old age.
When General Washington
reached these steps he placed
one foot and shook the crazy
ascent, as if to discover
how much strength was left
in it. Instantly twenty
brawny arms, one above
another, grasped the rickety
stairway, and a dozen mems
shoulders braced 1t firmly. Nor
did single man move from his
position until the venerable chief
had deposited his vote and de-
scended the stairway.
Il saw the generals last bow, .
said one of these supporters hall
century after that day, land il
was more than kingly.'

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is
Only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an infiamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out aud
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous sur.
faces.
