Water Company's Assessment

THE city assessor yesterday completed
the assessment of the City Water COM
pany for the coming fiscal year. The
total city assessment is 1,424,5 ,545, with
$3.50, 900 in the county. The heaviest in
crease is in the value of the franchise
which has been jumped from $4,000 to
$500, 900, the assessor justifying his action
by a recent decision Of the superior court,
which declares that such franchises are
of great value. The water mains are
valued at 100000, with the other princi-
pal assets as follows: Real estate,
23,S15; Crystal springs, $24.930; fixtures,
$1,000; Hazard reservoir, $4,000, an increase
of $4,000, and the Buena Vista reservoir,
SIC, 600, an increase Of s4500. Secretary
Mott protested against the valuation on
the franchise, and intimated that he
would take the matter before the state
board of equalization.

HOW HE SOLVES 1T.

Vice President Martin says Cigarette
Smoking Has Wrecked the Gar.
The mystery surrounding the subject
of the czar's health has been solved by
Vice President Martin of the English
Antitobacco and Antinarcotic league.
All the trouble, he has discovered, is
due to pernicious cigarette smoking,
which has shattered his majesty s nerves
and left him physical wreck. The
same shocking habit, it appears, is stead
lily sapping the vitality and masculine
vigor Of this once proud country and
converting Sunday school children into
prematurely depraved sinners. All this
and more was sorrowfully told at the
annual meeting of the league last night.
The league has existed 26 years, and
during that period has circulated $685.
844 books and pamphlets and 1000, 900
leaflets, all setting forth, in more or less
lurid fashion, the awful dangers con-
nected with tobacco, and yet, as Vice
night, the practice Of smoking is still
ON the increase, and the league has vir-
tually arrived at the saddening conclu-
sion that it is impossible to cure an
adult smoker. But, while all is gloom
over here, there is, it seems, an encour-
aging effulgence observable ON the
American horizon. A quarter of mil
lion of good boys in the United States
have taken the antitobacco pledge. and
the English league has resolved to fol-
low the American plan of delivering
lectures in the elementary schools. Brit
ish boys have been known to take the
pledge and yet smoke furtively, to their
mental and physical damnation, but it
is assumed that such backsliding is un-
known ON the other side of the Atlantic.

GRANT lS A LUCKY MAN.


Expects TO Become Wealthy Man
Through an Old Patent OF His.
After years Of comparative poverty
Rev. A. J Grant of Westerville, N. Y,
believes that through the accidental dis
covery of the wide use of an invention
of his which he had long since forgotten
he is now in fair way to become very
rich man.
In the early seventies Mr.. Grant, then
comparatively young man, was en-
gagged as a cabinet maker in a small
town in Delaware county. He con-
structed a cabinet to hold his tools, and
he experienced Inconvenience at being
compelled to lock and unlock each
drawer every time he desired to use
tool. A fellow workman suggested that
Grant should invent something to lock
and unlock all the drawers at the same
time The idea struck the young man
as practicable, and he constructed an
automatic bar locking device, very like
that which today may be found upon
many Office desks. BY the use Of NOV.
able bar and catch which he patented
all the drawers were locked by closing
the top drawer. A Boston broker OBJ
tanned his permission to organize stock
company with view Of selling the pat
ent right to New England manufacture
ers. The project fell through, but he be-
lieves the broker retained the full
knowledge of the invention. About this
time Mr.. Grant became converted and
entered the ministry, and for years was
80 engrossed with Methodist charges in
central New York that all thought Of
his little invention passed from him.
Recently Mr.. Grants attention was at,
tracted to q new desk friend had pur-
chased, and particularly to the auto
matic device whereof he believes himself
to be the inventor. He consulted law
yers, who confirmed his belief that he
was entitled to damages for infringe
ment Of patent, and accordingly suit
will be brought at once against all desk
and cabinet manufacturers who used the
bar lock.

daylight. Proceeding slightly in ad.

80 feet Of the distillery when he was
suddenly fired upon from ambush and
instantly killed. AS Dodson ran up to
Taylor he was also shot dead in his

directions and a terrible volley was
poured into the remaining officers.
