the county was valued at $3.50 per
thousand, and that, on a low estimate
Of the amount on the land. Any one
that has taken the trouble to look the
matter up, knows that in the majority
of cases, the owners of real estate in
the village would find it extremely diff
ticult to dispose of their property at
the valuation fixed upon it by the
board of revidw. Is there anything
right or just in such wholesale dis
examinations in favor of the. wealthy
land owner and against the poor resi-
dent taxpayer? Again, we would like
to have the person who advised and
was instrumental in having pine lands
assessed lower in the western part OF
the town than in the eastern, give
some good reason for the distinction.
AS to the last bit of advice given by
the News. Never fear, Dan, the point
ing out of abuses in the administration
of the affairs of the town or county will
never jeopardize the true interests of
either: The people know that they
exist but they do not know just where
to find them, and this they will have to
learn before they can correct them,
You, with your knowledge of county
and town affairs and their abuses, could
do much to aid in this, as well as in
correcting them, and believe us, no
other thing which you could do would
be Of such lasting bene fit, to both town
and county, as this.

WILLIAM WALDORF ASTOES FOUNTAIN.
From Success


William Waldorf Astors new fountain for
Chveden Is the largest private fountain of the
KIND IN the world. 1t Is gorgeous and Of enor-
nous expense. and the only fountain which
rivals 1t in size and appearance is that of the
emperor William in Berlin the next largest Of
the KIND being at Moscow. In these two foun-
tains the architects have developed the same
idea which dominated the plans for the Astor
Fountain gigantic shell of stone in q basin on
the ground level. the shell being horizontal. and
when full Of water the surface Of the water is
about on a level with the eye
Mr. Astor. who expects that his fountain will
astonlsh people when it is exhibited, has called
II THE Fountain Of Love" The shell alone
weighs between sixty and seventy TONS This
gigantic shell is made Of uire pieces Of the
finest Sienna marble, and e.; light brown in
color. but the huge blocks have been so skilfullv
pun together ihat II Is almost impossible TO see
the JOINS. The nine pieces Of Sienna marble
out OF which the shell made are the largest
blocks Of Sienna marble ever taken out Of Italy
Like large cut diamonds. they represent m
enormous waste Of material The fountain in its
architectural features represents the develop
ment OF one idea. II IS practically simple and
6evoid OF ornate carving, excepting in the three
groups
Group 1.-The first group Of figures which
forms a part Of this fountain is on the end Of
the shell nearest the entrance gates This
group. made Of the finest ana whitest Sicilian
marble. consists OF the heroc-siZed figure Of a
woman with a Cupid The right hand Of the
figure is outstretched. In it she holds over the
basin by the handle small Greek vase. from
which water pours. Her left hand falls by her
side. Standing az her left side is a figure of a
little Cupid, naked. with wings, looking up into
her face. The work is pronounced by sculpfors
10 be surprisingly beautiful. Group This
consists Of woman and a Cupid. both standing
and pledgng each other in drinking cups The
figures large and of the finest ScHian
marble Group 3.-Ths group consists of
woman leaning back with a Cupid bending over
her from rock.
All round under the edges Of the shell rare
and beautiful aquatic plants are growing.
There is fountain in England rvalng this
one Of Mr. Astor's in size and beauty. and il is
even said ~ architects that as work Of art
and considering its size. II is the finest fountain
In the world. This fountain has already cost
according to moderate estimates. a great deal
