TO FIX THE GOULD ESTATES TAX.
The Famous Case TO 90 IIcrore tho Court OF
Appeals at Albany Tomorrow.
The Largest Exclusive Manufacturer OF
High-Grndr Claiming In tho state.
NEWARK, N. j.

The Court of Appeals Mt Albany will take up
for argument tomorrow the Joint appeals OF tho
State and the estate of Jay Gould from the as
sUssment OF the inheritance tax against tho
property which Mr.. Gould left at his death.
The gross amount OF tho estate subject to
the tax was fixed by Surrogate Fitzgerald at
$73, O0O, 900. and upon this a tax OF S57s.0O0
was assessed. The Gould heirs asked a roduo-
ton of the tax, claiming that the method OF
valuation adopted by the appraiser and Surro-
gate was improper and the tax excessive.
They valued the entire blocks of stocks and
bonds held by the estate at the prevailing Stock
Exchange prices al the time of the death OF Mr..
Gould, but the Gould heirs claim that tho
amount which would have been realized IL tho
entire holdings OF the estate were sold Mt ono
time was from lyc to thirty pOints below tho
market price, and that this was their ya,hc.
The state appeals upou the ground that tho
Surrogate erred in holding the legacy OF 90
OOO.OOO TO George j. Gould 10 hc exempt FROM
the taN, and that this should bG taxed, which
would yield about $4,000 more To The stat.
This legacy WAS made 10 GcnrSr !. Gould by hil
during the lifetime of the elder Gould, AMI hnS
been held 10y the lower court to be exempt from
the tax.
The State Comptroller and tho City Comp
trO!lcr are appellants for tnu state, and their
counsel on the argumcnt will re OK senator
David b. Hill John X. Dos l'assOs. and Edmund
L. Harding, while the Gould heirs will be repre-.
sented by e&-Jud4e John l. Dillon. WtnIl0W y

Although these prices appear exorbitant. they
are reasonable when one Examine into the
trouble and expense necessary before the fin
ished stick can be stopped and the sail spread to

masts, and when the suitable and accessible
mast timber must be brought from Oregon or

these reasons sparmakers began constructing

When the great modern American schooner

greatly increased. With the extensive demand,
masts were stepped in the big schooners. These
masts werc boltcd together, and proved per-

Inc business OF furnishing masts and spars
for yachts has developed to a wonderful degree
during the past five years. So much 40. indeed,
has this business grown that fully a dozen firms,
whose business Was formerly confined 10 sup.
plying the great fleet Of working vessels with
spars' have devoted tho major part Of their
efforts to supplying the thousands Of pleasure
cratt along the coast and In adjacent waters
with selected sticks upon which to stretch their
spread Of snowy canvas.
The value OF these masts is far beyond tho
prico that would nppear adequate from the
point OF view Of a laynan. For instance, a mast
similar In size and quality to those Of tho
schooner Colonia costs q sum equal to that
which supports many a mechanics family for
whlle other spars on the craft are proportionato
IN value. ~ course, the figures are much lower
for boats Of less stately type.

Nature Study for Public School.

Nature study, or seeing familiar
things in new light, is a valuable fac
tor in education. How many people
can explain, 80 that child can under
stand, why water puts out hre, why
some young squash plants bring their
shells out of the ground on their backs
and others do not: or show the differ
1ence between leafbud and a fruit
bud Of the apple; or tell from whence
all the house flies come? The world is
full of such common things. about
which people do not inquire. Yet such
subjects can be made very interesting
to children. and they can be taken up
in tile schools. not as an added recita
ton. but as rest exercise once ortwiee
each week to relieve the monotony OF
the school room and later be made the
theme for language exercise. Here
are two important faculties that may
sbe brought into exercise-accurate OBJ
sseTvation and the power of expressing
Tdsinitely what is seen.

sncoe.sfu1 Locomotive Tests.

The Baltimore & Ohio has been max
ing a number of engine tests on the
division berween Brunswick and Cum
berland, Md, with satisfactory results.
One locomotive recently hauled train
of sixty coal cars, which weighed on
the average 81, 900 pounds each, with
out difficulty between Brunswick and
Martinsburg, where the grade is extra
ordinarily heavy. Another train of
thirty two loaded cars, aggregating
1900 tons in weight, was hauled by the
same locomotive up the same grade
without difficulty. This is believed by
experts to be the heaviest weight ever
hauled by locomotive under the same
conditions A freight engine built by
the Baldwin Locomotive Works and
another by the Richmond Locomotive
Works have also been tested with
trains of thirty-two cars, on what is
termed the Mount Airy grade, which
one of the heaviest on the division.
The locomotives pulled the trains
without difficulty.

Export Catt1e from Texas.

The long promised expectation OF
Texas cattle direct to Europe was real
lied recently, when ship-load OF cat
tie left Galveston for Liverpool. While
other shipments are expected to fol-
low, it is not likely that this movement
will be large in the near future, because
export cattle are not abundant in the
territory tributary to this port. There
is no reason to doubt, however, that
Galveston will in time become an i'm
portant point in the export cattle bust
ness. Texas breeders are improving
their stock everY year in quality by
grading up with good beef blood. and
in finish by the use of corn and cotton
seed and they may be expected to fur
nish considerable number of export
beeves before many years. 1t is prob
able moreover that cattle from the
corn belt will seek an outlet through
the Southern ports, attracted by favor
able freights. Corn and provisions
from the West are now going out that
way, the former in large quantities,
being diverted from the Eastern sea
board by better rail rates to the Gulf.

Lumber Left for Only Few Years.
The Secretary of Agriculture sent to
the Senate report on the amounts OF
white pine and other coniferous timber
standing and its consumption IN the
United States, in response to resoiu-
tion by Senator Chandler. The report
states that the enormous amounts
which hitherto have been cut annua,-
ly cannot be had beyond the next i've
or six years, even with Canada 20 help
exc out our deficiencies. 1t is said that
since 1878 there has been cut in Michi
gan. Wisconsin and Minnesota los, ,OOO.-
600. 600 feet, board measure, and So, ,OOO.-
600, 900 shingles, and in the whole coun-
try the equivalent of 100000. .OOO,O 600
feet. board measure. The wood-pulp
industry now consumes SOC. 600, 900 feet
of nine. spruce and hemiock annually.
The average annual consumption of
the timber is twenty billion feet, and
there is left standing in the Northern
States, it is estimated, one hundred
billion feet, coniferous growth.
