GOING no LAKEWOOD.
George Gould Getting Away from Tax
Assessors.

New York, May LIT is a settled
fact that Mr.. George Gould viii in the
future call Lakewood his home. and
the New York tax collectors viii no
longer have an opportunity to harass
him with embarrassing questions about
his resources or income.
For some time a deal has been un-
der way looking to the purchase of q
large plot Of land at Lakewood and
this week the deeds were transferred
to him.
Mr. Gould made Lakewood his home
since 1893, when he went there for a
short stay. He thought the New York
tax assessors were becoming too severe
in their assessments and was deter
mined to find some place where there
would be congenial company, but no
burdensone taxes, and where he could
make a home for his children away
from the city.

Washington May 19.-The provision
in the Indian appropriation bin which
VIII allow the expenditure Of from S1S,
coo to $40. 600 extra at Haskell institute,
Lawrence, has gone safely through the
conference committee.
This was a. thing which Congressman
Curtis was able to secure because Of
his membership on the Indian commit
tee and being also one Of the conferees
on the part of the house he took care
to see that it was left in by the con-
ference committee.
The provision is that all moneys ap-
propriated for Haskell remaining I'M
expended at the end Of the year shall
be available for improvements.
In the past this surplus has amount
ed to about $3.50 or $40 900 and Of
course has been turned back into the
treasury. Because of the amendment
which Mr.. Curtis secured the surplus
this year viii be expended on the in
stitute at Lawrence under the direc-
ton of the superintendent. 1t viii
doubtless amount to at least $50. 900.
Mr.. Curtis also secured an increase in
the total appropriation for Haskell.

Max ORell.

Her Royal Highness, Woman, was the subject of a lecture at Mer- Till Institute Friday night by the celebrated Frenchman Max O'Rell. (Paul Fauree). Notwithstanding the great scope of the subject, and the opportunity for oratorical flights, word-painting and glowing tributes, the lecture was very unin- teresting and disappointing to the large audience present. Consider able time was consumed in a tire. some description of French ladies to whom the lecturer paid many in- tended eulogies. A needed rest was then allowed the audience after which the lecturer discussed English and American women, their man ners, lives, etc, which was likewise tiresom to all except those who took to themselves the fattery of Ameri- can women.

Miss Fife EHsler. who presents that charming character of Rosa lind at the Opera-hoHsenext Wednes- day night, possesses a personality at on@e sympathetic and pleasant. a magnetism that is most agreeable and whichs entertains without ap- parent effort, in fact aningenousness SD free from assumption and guile that her audience is immediately drawn toward the petite artist. There is nothing in the character of Rosalind to rouse an audience or provoke applause. It is in keeping with the poetic nature of the play. 1t is the golden thread which binds the many phases of humanity together. She is never loud, neither boisterous in her merriment nor disrespectful in her indignation. Her love is quickly kindled, but it never becomes a con fagration. It never consumes her wit or seorches her wisdom.
