out to its stockholders the
regular quarterly dividend Of
one and one-half per cent
on the capital Of a quarter of a
million. This Is the thirty seventh
dividends, the company having missed
very few periods since its organiZa-
ton. The Home was incorpor-
ated on September so, 1856, with a
small capital, by most Of the men now
interested in it. The business grew so
rapidly, however, that the capital was
increased to quarter of million, and

pluclsy Dutch are being asked to look
to and recover their laurels. in other

which the stormy German ocean has

drain n large part of the Zuyder Zee.
that arm of the sea which. now cover
ing more than 5000 square miles was
once a valuable territory trayersed by
several rivers flowing into n small
fresh water lake. Centuries ago the
area of this lake became extended by
floods, marshes were formed, and at
length violent storms broke down the
sandy barriers between the sea and
the marches and by successive inroads
the whole territory was submerged to
depth ranging from three feet to
twenty-six feet. The small fresh
water lake has given place to a salt
water sea about one third the area of
Lake Erie.
The proposed enterprise. which is
gigantic enough TO entitle II to prom
inent mention among the greatest of
the century, is before the Dutch
parliament for sanction and aid. The
estimated cost will be about sls3, 900. -

The Springfield Republican says:

tect fish and fowl and beast for game
purposes in the county the officials OF
which offer s25 for evidence to convict

the laws are only such as prevent the

BACK TO TENNESSEE.
An Alleged Burglar Taken There For
Trial by Sheriff Sam A. Walker.
$. of Blount County.

w. ]. Burnett has gone back to Ten
nessees to stand trial for burglarizlng the
store house of w. H. Feezell. The
amount of booty secured was said to
have been SIS in cash and promissory
notes amounting to $685. The robbery was
committed January 3, 1897.
Sheriff Sam "A. Walker, of Blount
county, arrived in the city last night with
the necessary papers and returned to his
home this morning with Burnett in GUS
tody. Sheriff Walker stated that the
store was situated on little river about
IL miles above Marysville in Blount
county. .EH
Burnett was arrested some time ago..
but was released as the papers were not
fixed up. He was re-arrested few days
ago and the Tennessee authorities mott
fed. This, time the papers were secured
promptly and the prisoner turned over to
the sheriff.
Burnett is a young white man about
25 years of age and would not return to
Tennessee without requisition papers.

Speaking of the workings of the law,
Mr. Harwell said he thought 1t one of the
best laws on the statute- books, but it
will not prove a bonanza in the way of
fees to the commissioners the public
seem to expect Idoubt whether the Of
flee will pay the state commissioner $4,000
a year, and, out of this amount he will
have to pay his deputies and clerk. My
opinion Is" continued Mr. Harwell, that
in order to carry out the. purposes in
tended the state will have to put the
commissioners on salaries. The law has
proved great stimulation in the pay-
ment of taxes and the collectors are hav-
ing all the work they can attend to, and
when they are through there will be lit

AUBREY HARWELL
Resigns His Position as Chief Clerk In
the Tax Commissioners Office
Pay Day Too Long Off.

Yesterday Mr. Aubrey Harwell ten
dered his resignation as chief clerk to the
State Tan Commissioner, Judge Wood.
Mr.. Harwell, when questioned about the
matter, showed some reluctance in speak
ing of his resignation, but said;
MY resignation has been rendered to
the State Tax Commissioner. 1 had two
reasons for resigning the office, first, be-
cause the remuneration for my onerous
duties was represented, for the present,
by a cypher, and the benefits to be de-
rived in the future were merely specula-
tive, according to Judge Woods view
of the situation. His continual complaints
of the scarcity of funds did not meet the
demands of an empty purse nor stimu-
late one to sacrifice his time and energy
to assist the commissioner in carrying on
his experiment.
MY second reason was that l desired
to re-enter my chosen field of labor-that
of newspaper work All of my tastes and
inclinations turn that way, and, like
other slaves of the quill, it holds for me
an abiding fascination"
Mr. Harwell expects to go to Wash
ington City in a few days and enter
newspaper work there. He is a capable
fellow and his friends here wish him
much success.
