In review OF the book the New York
World says:
.'Nowhere does Mr.. Howard call at
tention to the fact or let any one know
that these figures are exactly three
fourths of the actual value Of the taxed
property only-one-half escaping taxa
tion and assessment. The average as
sessment throughout the United States
is .751 of the actual value Of the taxed
property and 1878 of the property Of all
kinds. The census Of 1860 shows (by
implication, although no attempt was
then make to get at the division OF the
wealth OF the country that so per cent
of it was held by 50 per cent of the popu-
lation In thirty years 9 per cent of the
population has absorbed 81 per cent Of
the wealth. leaving only 16 per cent to
be divided among 81 per ceEt Of the peo
pie. The great fortunes have only come
from the robbery Of the many by the
few. for the per capita wealth in 1890
($999) is about the same as IN 1860 (s993)
These facts make such books as Mr.,
Howard's possible"

and the owner prided himself on ats

A negro servant left the child near the
lion while she went for bucket OF
water Some one apprised the mother
of that fact, but she said there was no
danger as the lion would not hurt any
thing.
The child crawled within reach and
the ferocious animal seized the infant
and shook il as a terrier dog would
shake a rat. The mother rushed 10 the
rescue of her babe and would have been
torn TO pieces but for the quick pres
ence of mind OF the father. who scared
the zion with whip. The lion let the
child go but it was a corpse. its head
having been crushed out of semblance
to anything human. The affair caused
panic in the crowded grounds and
soon ernptied them.
