An Electric Palace,

The palatial New York home Of
Charles T. Yerkes. the Chicago million
aire, at 6Sth street and 5th avenue, has
not only the most complete electric
lighting, heating and ventilating plant
of any of the several electrically
equipped mansions in the city, but it
has the largest storage battery plant
gas engine of thirty-fve horse power in
the basement is belted to dynamo.
The storage battery consists Of sixty
cells, having capacity of $500 ampere
hours at a ten-hour discharge rate, the
maximum discharge rate being 500 am
peres for four hours.
The house is wired for about sixteen
candle-power lamps and has besides an
electric passenger elevator and several
electric motors for ventilation, pump
ing and other purposes.
The arrangement of the lights is very
artistic. The vestibule or reception
hall is lighted from above throught
cathedral glass in the base OF dome
by 300 lights. Lamps are concealed
within the carving of the principal
salon or in rosettes of colored glass and
cunningly placed in the ceilings. In
the library an apparently framed oil
painting, which is really wonderful
piece of cathedral glasswork, is made

illuminates the room with the soft radi-
ance of day.-EXchange.

neither opposed nor approved the plan.
She did not oppose anything. She was

interest or pleasure from Margarie Har-

opposite. 1t was all the same to her.
The bridal dress came home few

like a queen in 1t. 1t was of white
satin, with a point lace overskirt;
looped at intervals with tiny bouquets

Balboa, Spain, March 0.-There was
another ant-American riot here To-
day, and 1t WIS Of greater Importance
than the previous so-called patriotic
disturbances caused by the action Of
the Congress of the United States In

took part this afternoon In the popular
demonstration.
On their way to the consui's resi-

windows Of stores and private resi-
lcnces, overturned n number Of vehi-

rom their horses. and generally be-
naved In the most threatening manner.
Stores dealing In American goods re-
:cived the most attention from the
mob, and the windows of the consul's
house were badly shattered. although
.he police defended the building.
The mob then proceeded in the direc-
don of the United States consulate,
evidently intending to stone that
building Us well. But the authorities
had taken the prcraution to send n
strong force of police to guard that
building. and another detachment OF
police was stationed across the streets
leading to the consulate.
The mob then began pelting the po-
lice with stones and pieces OF brick.
The policemen. however held their
ground and squad of the officers

Slowly and silently they went up to
the house. At the door he said no
good-night-he only held her hand a
moment, closely. and then turned away.
Paul Linmere's wedding-day drew
near. Between him and Margie there
was no semblance OF affection. Her
coldness never varied, and after few
fruitless attempts to excite In her some
manifestation OF interest. he took his
cue from her. and was as coldly indif-

testify the sorrow Of the club at the loss
OF one Of Its members. 1t was a very
hilarious occasion. and the toasting and
wine-drinking extended far into the

mind, Mr.. Paul Linmere left the rooms
Of the club at about three o'clock in the
morning, to return home. His way lay

mostly stores and warehouses.

They Will Discuss Several Matters That

Denver. March 9.-All signs point 10
lively times when the assessors Of the
counties Of Colorado meet In consulta-
ton tomorrow. says the News. All the
outside counties claim that Arapahoe
has been setting Its assessments so low
that the country districts pay more than
their share OF the taxes, per real value

unable to get portion Of his assets ou;

can hide much and get low assess

scssed wealth of men acknowledged ID
be many times millionaires, and claim
that II they pay taxes on ten per cent
OF their real holdings 1t is as much as
they do. Then the assessors from out
side counties have grudges against each
other. Land lying along the line between
counties is assessed ut different values
In different counties. At one point in
this state where three counties meet the
value Is 81 an acre in one, SD In anotl,-

all of equal value, as far as quality of
ground is concerned.
But Arapahoe also has a grievance
The assessors of the outside counties pre-
vail on the equalization board to divide
up the assessment of rolling stock on
railroads and like corporations accord

county should have larger percentage

There are many points the assessors
can agree upon, and n decided effort
will be made to secure promise of as
sessing properties of equal real value Il,

catching more of the owners of watches
and clocks, of taxing bicycles and Il
dozen other little things will be brought
up for agreement.
