An Anecdote of Beaumarchias.

Beaumarchais, the author of the fa-
nous Marriage of Figaro" was the
son OF Partisan matchmaker, but had
gained fame. rank and wealth through
his own talents and exertions. A con-
ceited and envious young nobleman
once undertook to wound the pride of
Beaumarchais by an allusion to his
humble origin. In the presence of a
large company of people who had a
regard for the talented young author,
this young man handed him his watch,
saying: Examine it, sir. 1t does not
keep time Well You can doubtless
ascertain the cause" Such was his
rude haste that his hand left the watch
before that of the sur p-e5ed Beau
marchais had grasped it, and it fell
to the ground. Pardon, monsieur"
said the author, with grave courtesy,
STOPPING to pick up the watch and hand
it to its owner. you see my father was
right when he declared that l was too
awkward to be a matchmaker"

THE TAX EQUALIZERs.
Alameda Encinal: The proposition to
have the members of the State Board
of Equalization elected at large in
stead of by districts will scarcely
meet with much favor in the interior.
1t is a move in favor of San Francisco.
and will be supported wholly by that
city from the most selfish motives. One
can readily understand how it would
work if the law We're amended. There
is not much probability that con-
stitutional amendment providing for
such material change would be
adopted The interior of the State
should vote solidly against it.
WITH EXCEEDING GALL.
Tulare Register: Fifteen Bryaniters
with exceeding gall met at Los Ange-
les recently and organized a Silver Re
publican party for California. 1t was
very thoughtful of them, for by that
means they will have a party to belong
to. Otherwise they would have been
outcasts and orphans without where
to lay their aching heads in State
full of joyous politics. If it becomes
necessary. they declare they will call
State Convention some time and
each of the fifteen delegates there
present will have the privilege of
drumming UP five other Republican
renegades, if they are to be found, who
are to assemble with them in conven-
ton. If the convention is ever held
and those fifteen ever attend it, bring
ing with them five others each, there
will be more votes in that convention
than there will ever be cast for it's
nominees on a State ticket. That po-
litical party will die a-bornin'.

has been the case with reference to
San Francisco since the establishment
of the State, and to-day property is as
sessed at a lower percentage of its
value in San Francisco than elsewhere
in this commonwealth. This is a ques-
ton of fact, the contradiction of which
may be boldly challenged Nor will any
journal or body of men in San Fran
cisco challenge an investigation of this
fact. To do so would be to disclose the
underlying animus of the proposition
to turn over the equalizing power to
the city Of San Francisco by the device
of electing the Board of Equalization
at large.
The attention Of the Cali is directed
to the fact that its advocacy of the pol
icy OF. elecdng the Board of Equaliza-
ton at large has no meaning unless it
would constitute an additional protec-
tion to San Francisco. What San Fran
cisco expects is a larger influence
upon the adoption of that policy.
If this is not its object. then the whole
proceeding Is meaningless. The sug-
gestion OF the policy grows directly out
Of the action of present and past State
Boards of Equalization in raising the
assessment of the city and county of
San Francisco over the figures given
by the local Assessor. If the Cali is
not engaged in a crusade to prevent a
recurrence of this species Of equaliza-
tion, then will it have the goodness to
state what is to be gained to the City
Of San Francisco by the proposed
change?
The effort will not succeed. The peo-
pie of the State will not submit to as
sessment except at the hands of those
who are elected by themselves. They
will net submit to that highest process
Of assessment known as equalization
at the hands of a board whose members
were elected by the concentrated vote
of San Francisco in State conventions
and 1T State elections. That would
be a tyranny of selfishness wholly un-
endura Bile.

Santa Cruz Sentinel: The next great
question that the American Congress
will be called upon to settle is that of
currency reform. While the danger
that SO threatened during the Cleve-
land administration and led TO the bond
issues IS past for the present, perhaps
not 10 reappear for many years to
come, the menace is still present, and
sooner or later will have to be dealt
with.

pare for war, so in time of financial
peace and prosperity is the proper time
to prepare for. and fend off, the day
of financial depression
The financial outlook was never bet

of trade is largely in our favor, and
will continue to be for a long time to
come. Confidence in our public credit,
which was so badly shaken by the In
cendiary utterances of demagogues
during the late campaign, has been
fully restored. Our securities are no
longer being returned to US, but are
clearly sought for in foreign markets,
and gold is coming here in increasing
quantities for investment. The con-
tinual influx of gold to settle balances
will OF course make that commodity
plentiful and easy to obtain, and there
is not likely to be any demand for a
Ions time to come for the redemption
of greenbacks. But the fact remains

r. Davis, who has been doing business
for a year past in the Dewey & Stewart
buildings on west Exchange street, left
Wednesday evening for Buffalo, N. Y, to
20 into the wholesale business with one of
his brothers.
Mr.. Davis Is young Jew with all the
shrewdness and good judgment In business
affairs characteristic of his race and at the
same time thoroughly honest. To show
what such qualities in a man will enable
him to do without going to the Klondyke,
1t may be said briefly that Mr.. Davis began
in Owosso last summer with less than fifty
dollars. During the year he has paid a
good price for board and room, worn good
clothes, and after paying all Lying and busi-
ness expenses had balance of oyer one
thousand dollars, all made In a legitimate
way; and after all there are not fractional
part of the hardships and dsagreeable
things connected with buying old iron, rags,
etc., that the Alaskan gold digger will will
ingly undergo.

BANQUETED THEM.

Fat Men the Guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
Bentley and Mr.. and Mrs. White.
The members of the Owosso Fat Mems
Cycle Touring Club met at the Citizens
Savings Bank Wednesday afternoon in re-
sponse to summons issued by the secreta-
ry ordering them out in full uniform for
run.
Fourteen members and invited guests
started out shortly after five o'clock, riding
east over the cycle path, then north four
miles on the state road, crossing from that
road to the Goss school house, returning by
the river road and Mulberry street, where
they met five other members and guests Of
the club. They rode then to Oliver street and
out to the residence of A. M. Bentley, their
president, where they had expected to find
light refreshments furnished by the presi-
dent and the secretary, 81. Kirk White, who
had invited them there.
On reaching the house at seven O'clock
what was their surprise to find that nothing
short OF a banquet with an extra supply of
solid food such as hungry cyclists know how
to appreciate, was In waiting for them.
Better than that and still more of sur
prise, except to the president and secretary
who were of course In the secret since 1t was
their wives who prepared this part of the
program, they found the ladies most inti-
mately associated with the veal and woe of
the aforesaid fat men also waiting for
them.
At half-past seven the company number
ing thirty-six were seated at the tables gaily
trimmed with nasturtiums and other flowers.
and 1t is stated authoritatively that they
continued to sit there until ten o'clock, dur
ring which time 1t is supposed that the total
weight of the club was considerably in
creased. In fact, new weight limit is to
be expected in the bylaws of the club In
the near future. At the tables the wants of
the company were carefully looked after by
the Misses Henderson, Lena and Blanche
Doolittle and Aggie Carmody.
Among other momentous questions which
arose during the banquet, the question of
club colors came up and agitated the MEM
Ders until III was nnally suggested by one
member that the colors be black and blue,
and that every member be obliged to satisfy
the secretary that he was wearing them.
Though not yet officially adopted in busi-
nessssession these colors are likely to be
adopted since they suggest many tender
recollections and require the least effort to
recall.
The guests of the club were DIR. and Mrs.
Hume, Mr.. and Mrs. James Osburn, Mr..
and Mrs. j. III. Laverock, Mr.. and Mrs. L..
r. Doolittle, Prin. ID. +. Mertz, and Mrs.
Eta Gould, the latter favoring the party
with several fine solos.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Car
mody, 217 West Mason street, was the
scene Of quiet home wedding Wednesday
forenoon, at eleven o'clock, when their
daughter, May, was married to James A.
McConvery. The ceremony was performed
In the presence of relatives only, Rev. e.
w. Hunt officiating, and using the beauti-
ful and impressive Episcopal ceremony.
The pArlor in which the wedding took
place was decorated with astors and
pink carnations. The bride was dressed in
darlpblue travelling dress.
After the ceremony the company sat
down to an elaborate wedding breakfast,
after which Mr.. and Mrs. McConvery left
for an eastern trip. They will be at home
at gil West Mason street after October 1st.
An amusing incident connected with the
wedding was that the bride and groom
drove through to Vernon to avoid any un-
pleasant showers of rice which might be
awaiting them.
The bride Is a well known Owosso girl
who has a host Of friends, while the groom,
who Is travelling salesman for the Deering
Harvester Co., in charge of the Michigan
territory, has had his headquarters in Owos-
so for three years past and has many
friends In the city.
