THE LADY WAS ADMITTED.

We all know the Archbishop of Canter-
bury as the strong man whose will is like
IRON, and M. A. p. tells a capital story con-
corning this aspect of DR.. Temples charac-
ter.
Some years ago he was due to preach at a
1ashlonable church in Regent street, when.
Oh arriving at the door of the building, he
was astonished to find Mrs. a., an intimate
friend of his, in the act of returning to her
! carriage.
What asked DR.. Temple, "going
away?" ~
Only because I cannot obtain admit
lance; the place is full"
.Do you really wish to stay?"
Il came on purpose"
linen take my arm" DR.. Temple said,
ana, pressing through the crowd, the strong
figure of the future archbishop was soon
before the beadle at the door.
In the blandest manner DIR. Temple said
10 that functionary, who evidently did not
know him:
You will be SO good as to give this lady
the best seat in the church,
impossible, sir" said the surprised bea-
die, the church is quite full"
Or. Temple merely repeated his request,
only more emphatically
utterly impossible, SIR replied the
guardian of the door. 81 tell you the
church is quite full"
oh, but" was the crushing rejoinder, 81
won't preach if you don't!'
This threat at once showed the beadle
how the land lay, and his manner at once
changed.
oh, l beg your pardon, my lord,'' he said.
This way, nna'am."
And Mrs. A. secured a seat in the church
Warden's luxurious empty pew, while DR..
Temple preached one of the best sermons
Of his life.

THE BLUFF.

Though the Inter Mountain has re-
peatedly accepted the challenge of the
i Anaconda Standard to demonstrate the
truth of the statements made by our
Washington correspondent. as to regrets
expressed by prominent democrats, that
paper again comes to the front this
morning and brazenly asserts that it's
proposition has been evaded. The fact
is, the Standard assumes to dictate the
manner in which the evidence shall be
secured, and refuses to recede from it's
method Of procedure, which if applied
would resolve the investigation into a
complete farce. The Inter Mountain, as
the challenged party, " in detail what
it believed to be a fair and impartial way
of Investigating into the facts.
The Standard will not assent to any
investigation except in line with It's own
plans. And here the matter rests. Space
is too valuable to waste on a newspaper
that with a pretense to virtue seeks to
run a bluff. The Inter Mountain will
demonstrate the truth of the statements
made by it's Washington correspondent,
as to the regrets expressed by prominent
democrats over the reputation of the
fusion plans of the national silver lead
ers by the democracy of this state, in it's
own way and to the satisfaction of the
public. And we will add right here,
those regrets will become more pro-
nounced on the part of honest silver
democrats as the campaign of 1900 draws
near.

BUYING UP THE
CUBAN RAILROADS

New York, Jan. "A dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says: By the pur-
chase of q large block of stock of the Cal
BARREN railway l.. Ruiz & Co.. bankers,
representing English capitalists, have Sc
cured a controlling interest in that line.
The same have also been large purchas-
ers of the stocks of the Sagua and Glen
fuegos companies. They expect to have
soon a controlling interest in those two
concerns and owning, as they do, the
United railway lines, will be in a posi-
ton to dictate terms to the Juraco COM
pany, which Is the wealthiest and most
prosperous IN the island. If the Juraco
stock cannot be purchased, the line will
undoubtedly be paralleled, thus giving a
trunk line from Pinar del Rio to Santa
CARA. In securing of the Caibarien line
the Engllshmen carried the price of the
stock from about e5 to So, most of the
stock being bought at about IS. The Cal
BARREN has a capital stock of s., 275. 600
and a debt of $3.50, 900. The Sagua line,
which will probably be the next system
to he acquired, has a capital stock of So
DOC, 1000 and no debts. The Cienfuegos
line has a capital stock of 81 900, 600 and
debts of $1,000. The United railway has a
capital stock of $1,000, coo and a bonded
indebtedness of $4,000. 600. This concern
controls the Havana Bank of Commerce,
and much real estate. The Juraco COM
pany, which will fight hard against the
English company, has a capital Of $S,000,-
coo and no debts. The line earned So per
cent. during the wal and in nominal
times earns 10 per cent, being a favorite
investment with the SpaniardS for trust
funds. ....

Draws a Gloomy Picture

New York, Jan. "A dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says: The Temps to-
night draws a gloomy picutre of the flu
ture of the United States. It says the
United States cannot hide the fact that
they "have said goodbye forever to the
ldyllic era wherein they dispensed with
the regular standing army and laughed
at the heavy burdens imposed upon the
nations of the eastern continent by their
International situation. There is not a
democrat, not a friend of the principles
that regulate modern society that does
not deplore bitterly the incubation with
a spirit of conquest Of territory and ex-
pansion of a d emocracy that hitherto
has been peaceful and liberal. President
Mckinley may say farewell for free
America, to the era of peace and good
will, reforms, economy, international
progress n self-government."

This mornings Anaconda Standard
says that if there are any communities
that al match Butte's murder record it
is not acquainted with them, and then it
adds: 1.-THE vicious element in Butte
could be handled easily enough" Then
whose fault is it? Are the gambling
houses, that were permitted to run in
behalf of the democratic ticket, respon-
sible? Is the present democratic mayor
responsible? 1t begins to look as if the
efforts of the Standard to persistently
advertise the city Of Butte as a crime
center had Interior motives behind them.
There is altogether too much crime in
this city, and all that, but when every
thing is taken into consideration the
popular verdict must be reached thai it
is singularly fortunate in the good order
that prevails.

POISON SENT
THROUGH MAIL
IS BELIEVED TO HAVE CAUSED
ANOTHER DEATH IN
NEW YORK.

New York, Jan. 3.-The Herald says:
There is a strong likelihood that the fact
may soon be established that Henry c..
Barnet, who died at the KnickerbOcker
Athletic club on November 10, ostensibly
from diphtheria, according to the death
certificate made out by his physician,
was murdered by poison, as was Mrs.
Adams and that the same poison was
used to take his life as was utilized in the
case of the woman. Cyanide of mercury
was administered in each case. The body
of Barnet has been exhumed and it is
said that sufficient evidence has been OBJ
tanned to prove that the body contains
traces of the poison named.
There is said to be little doubt that the
person who caused the death of Mrs.
Adams is also responsible for the death
OF Barnet with this difference. that while
he did not intend to kill Mrs. Adams, but
Cornish, the death of Barnet was DELHI
erately planned. Barnet's death was sur
rounded with several very suspicious cir
cumstances. He had not been feeling
Wen Tor several days previous to October
SUN, owing to a disOrdered condition of
the stomach and cold. On the date men
toned there came into his possession a
bottle OF a proprietary powder, which is
usually used to remedy headache,
Whether the bottle was bought by Bar
net or whether it came to him at the
hnlckerbocker Athletic club. the truth
is not known at this time, but it has
been stated he received it through the
mail. He took a dose of the powders and
at once became exceedingly i'll.
Or. Philips, who has an office immedi-
ately across the street from the club
where Barnet rooms, was called in hasti-
~ and prescribed for the sick man. Later
in the day his regular physician called
to see him and attended him from that
time until his death. on November 10th.
Inc death certificate stated death was
due to diphtheria. During the ten DAYS
Of Barnet's illness, the greatest precay,-
ton was taken to keep the circumstances
surrounding his case quiet. When his
brother Edward called to see him he said
he had taken a Headache powder and
added that it had made him Violently i'll.
He attributed this to having taken an
overdose. He seemed to recover from
the effects of the powder in a day or two
and no suspicious were aroused in the
mind of Edward that his brothers death
was not the result of diphtheria.

NOT WHAT HE WANTED.

To their credit be it said that the Manx
people are so courteous that, no matter at
what time of the day or night a stranger
might arrive he is welcomed with open
arms.
A tale is told that early one morning a
dance was in progress on the pier at Doug
las when a shipwrecked sailor, who had
been drifting about on a SPAR, and had very
fortunately landed an the girders below,
craWled up the steps.
A master of the ceremonies came for
ward, smiled, bowed and said:

I find you a partner?"-London Answers.

The cyanide process, found so eff1ca-
seems to be enjoying a run Of popularity
as an instrument of murder in New

it was a medicine. The New York police

pert.

AGILE TAX
DODGERS
New York City Real Estate
Must Bear the Burden of
Taxation.
THE CORPORATIONS ESCAPE
Levy of Se,0oO,O0o.0OOO On Per-
sonal Property Made but
Later Sworn Off,"

NEW YORK, July 8.-The World to-
day says: President Feitner of the de-
partment of taxes and assessments
forwarded to the municipal assembly at
its special meeting, held at noon yes
terday, the tax books for 1899.
More than 200 large volumes, COM
prising the final assessments on all
classes of real and personal property,
were opener for public inspection after
the meeting.
The records will remain on view for
two months, but permit from Presi-
dent Guggenheimer of the municipal
assembly is necessary before the books
can be examined by individuals.
The recapitulation submitted by
President Feltner shows that real es-
tate in the Borough of Manhattan fin
ally was assessed at $2054, ,903,875. This
Is an increase of more than $42l 100000
over the amount levied in 1898.
Real estate, according To the decision
of the tax department, this year will
have to bear more than its share of the
burden of the city government. OF the
applications for reductions In assess
ments less than $2l,000,000 were
granted.
This year, as usual, the personal prop.
erty of New York's wealthy citizens
and corporations has escaped just taxa
ton. Otherwise real estate could not
be SO heavily burdened.
On levy of S8,000O00,000 made on
the property of corporations-good
machinery and assessable stocks and
securities-and upon the personal prop
erty of all the residents of New York
City, the sum of $7,400.0OOOO0 was
wiped off the books by the swearing
off" process and on reductions made by
the tax department on application.
Taxes will be collected on only $545,-
806,560 of personal tax levy of $8.00),-
600 900. sass
The corporations, domestic and for
eign, have taken advantage of the lax
tax laws to escape.
The failure of the tax officials to in
crease the assessments of New York's
rich personal property-holders is made
evident by an examination of the books.
In only few instances have the as
sessments of the richest persons been
increased, although these individuals
are known in many instances to have
ten or twenty times more personal
wealth than the sum on which they are
taxed.
