Aella Green read selections from his
own poems, in the Elm Park lecture
room last evening. The entertainment
was interesting and pleasing. Mr.
Green's literary ability is of a high
order and his manner of presenting
his thoughts was more successful than
is usually the case with authors and
their own productions.
The entertainment was for the bene-

really down to business and though
there were frequently expressed diff
ferences of opinion the division never
reached a point where the Republican
minority and the unterrified majority
were at loggerheads. An unusually
large amount of important business
was transacted.
The taxes committee presented a re-
port through Mr. Oliver, which puts
a quietus on the growing custom of
generating the payment of taxes on
real estate. According to the report
the city solicitor was asked for two
opinions, whether or not real estate
generations were legal, and, if illegal,
whether or not generations granted
in the past could become liens. The
city solicitor made this reply:
An cXoneration is virtually an exemption
of the property from taxation and the
only property exempted from taxation
are public properties used for public pur-
poses, actual places of religious wor-
ship, places of burial not used or held
for private or corporate profit, and insti-

AUDITORS REPORT

An Auditor Who Audited the Audit Of

Exceptions to the report Of the audi

eral badly knotted problems that the

exceptions to the report of the other
two members of the board regarding
the accounts of NJ. a. Cummings, col

filed exceptions to Auditor Lathrope's
report and yesterday arguments in the
matter were heard. Mr.. O'Malley con-
tended that the auditor exceeded his
authority in making an audit of the
rate collectors account, as the law only
requires him to frame an issue that the
matter may be tried before a jury.
James II. Torrey, attorney for the eX-
ceptions to the borough auditors re-
port, contended against this, holding
that the auditor was appointed to
audit that he had the authority to do
so and that he did just what he was
| authorized to do.

A Millionaire,s Hard Fate.

How sadly deficient some people are
Of any sense of humor when the subject
is themselves Take the Dukeof Devon
shire, who delivered a speech at the
opening of a "Passmore Edwards
House" for epileptics. So long as he
kept to the epileptics the duke managed
well enough, but before he sat down he
must needs get on the subject of him
self and the sorrows of the poor mil
lionaire:
cit might perhaps be considered pre-
sumptuous for one who was reputed to
be rich himself to offer advice to other
rich men which he had not taken him
self or was not himself prepared to fol-
low, but perhaps he might be allowed to
point out that there was some difference
between those who happened to be in
the possession Of wealth inherited from
several generations and those who had
created their own fortunes. Their prede-
cessors, in cases like his own, had gen.
orally contrived to find quite as many
channels by which wealth flowed out as
by which it flowed in, and those who
had for the benefit and advantage of
their successors created great estates, en-
failing much labor i'll administration
and many responsibilities, had not left
to their successors a legacy of unmitigat-
ed advantage"
The spectacle Of the duke inviting
the commiseration of his audience for
the cruel fate which compelled him to
keep up Chatsworth and Devonshire
House instead of founding homes for
epileptics is indeed eXcruciating.-West-
minister Gazette.

THE MEN WHO BUY NOT.
Why Newsdealers Sometimes slip Rubber
Bands Around Their Magazines.

Bands Around Their Magazines.
The man who gets up early in the
morning so he can have look at his
neighbours paper before the righttul
owner has a chance to take it in from
his doorstep does not stand very high IN
the estimation of the newsdealer. This
is because he spoils trade.
There is another man, however, who
is even more cordially detested by the
vender of periodicals. He is the fellow
who never buys anything, but has the
habit of dipping into the weekly papers
and magazines. The keeper of a news
stand makes a tempting display of his
stock, for he knows that strong pic
ture or even pretty cover often brings
him a stray customer, but he expects
the mere locker on to be content with
this much, and he is likely to frown
upon the man who resorts to all kinds
of schemes in order to get peep at the
inside pages.
The stands in the ferry houses and
railway stations suffer the most from
these penurious cranks, for there is
nothing else to attract their attention
while they are waiting for boat or a
train. They run through the leaves OF
the latest books and magazines and
have been known to draw the tacks out
Of papers nailed up against the stand so
that they could see what was on the
other side of the sheet. But it is not
what they see and read for nothing that
worries the pewsdealer. He would be
willing to put up with that if they did
not injure his stock. Indeed, he would
much rather have a man take up mag
azine bodily and carefully examine ev-
cry page than TO have him grab 1t by
one corner and bend up all the leaves
in surreptitious attempt to see the
pictures. He would also rather have
you ask him to hand you periodical
than to have you shove his stock all out
of line while trying to see the half OF
the page that is hidden by pile Of 9th
er papers.
So great is this nuisance that the
pewsdealers had to adopt schemes for
their own protection. The most success
full, so far as preventing the leaves from
being turned, consists of placing rub
Der band around the top and bottom Of
q magazine and using it ON the top Of
each pile. New York World.

Electricity for BaIky Horses.


Electricity has been put to a new
and so far successful use, that of con-
quering balky or lazy horse In one
case very high-spirited and valuable
animal, but extremely vicious and
balky, was cured in one hour with the
aid of three-voIt dry battery.
The officials of the Western Penn
sylvania Humane Society were notified
some time ago that Thomas Rodgers
of Avalon was using the dry battery
on his horse, which was as bad as
valuable high bred horse could be.
Superintendent Thomas NJ. Porter in
vestigated the case, and Friday he
gave Rodgers hearing before Justice
William Griscom of that place. Rod
gers said his horse was worth 81 900
to him if he could be cured of baking
and one or two other vicious habits.
He had offered $500 to any one who
could manage the animal, and at last
consulted DR.. T. c. Mcneil, the city
veterinary. The doctor advised Rod
gers to try electricity, and he bought
three-volt storage battery, and by
the means of three wires connected
each side Of the bit and crupper with
the battery. The horse was hitched
to a road cart, and first refused to
move, standing with all four feet in
braced position.
Mr. Rodgers then had the wires con-
nected to the battery, which was placed
in the cart, and at the first push of
the button the horse jumped, snorted
and then moved off. Each day for
week he went through the same lesson,
and now the pride road horse of Avalon
never balks, bites, or kicks.
That was the testimony brought out
at the hearing, and as the veterinary
and the Squire thought three volts
was not sufficient shock to hurt the
animal, Rodgers was discharged.
Superintendent Porter had a similar
case some months ago, He found that
one of the rich suburban residenters
was using the fluid battery on a lazy
horse in cultivating his summer gar
den. After several unsuccessful at
tempts to catch the gardener using
the horse, he was at last rewarded one
bright sunny morning by catching the
gardener wedding the potato patch
with the horse hitched to a harrow.
The superintendent went to the driver
and after introducing himself and in
forming the man why he visited him,
he was shown the contrivance.
Strapped to the backband was
small fluid battery with wires running
from it to the martingale and crupper.
A sponge was fastened to the wire at
each place and kept moist by the heat
of the horses body. When the animal
got tired it would stop and by press
ing two buttons together the circuit
was formed and the horse would move
for several hours. Porter tested the
full strength of the battery on himself
and found that the sensation did not
90 above his elbows and that the
voltage was only fraction over two.
He said he thought it was letter and
more humane to use a small amount
of electricity on horse than to whip
it, and was satisfied it was not case
of cruelty. He has written to several
of the best known horse doctors in the
United States, asking their opinions
on the subject, and is waiting for their
replies with a good deal of interest,"

WHEN LoveLAcs CAME TO WOO.


The feet Of time make fast their pace,
And we, like players in play,
Strut up and down our little space
And act our parts as best we may.
Alasl Alack and well a day!
The stage is Digit in somber hue,
Where once that stately vogue held sway,
When Richard Lovelace came 20 WOO.
And much we marvel as we trace
The feuds and foibles passed away,
While pomp of power and pride OF place
Troop down the years IN grand array.
In court and camp, in fete and fray,
Tickle and fippant, stanch and true,
Such were the gallants, bold ard gay,
When Richard Lovelace came to WOO.
In doublet fine and frills Of lace
The lover sought his suit to pay;
With such form and such face,
Who could resist his plea. pray.
And then that tender roundelay,
So like wood doves plaintive coo,
Sweet Lucy could not say him nay
When Richard Lovelace came to WOO.

Ho, Kentish towersl your lordly race
Had swords to draw and deeds to do
In that eventful year Of grace,
