Parties who are buying notes must
take out a brokers' license. The Monroe
county News has the following to say
in regard to some parties who bought
some notes and did not have the proper
license: "Some internal revenue officers
were here yesterday. They had heard
that some one had bought note or two
without having paid the $50 for bro.
ker's license. One man had TO put up
$S7. for a license, who had innocently
violated the law by buying few notes.
BY their construction of the war tax any
person who buys note without having
brokers' license, is liable to the penal
ties prescribed.'

parture every day. The latest venture
of the enterprising authorities Of the
Flowery Land is in the direction Of
architecture, matter in which up to
the present Japan has been particularly
conservative
1t will be remembered that the Crown
Prince Yoshihito was married a short
time ago and amid universal rejoicing.
1t has been found that there is no place
sufficiently magnificent to accommo-
date the royal couple, and it has, there
fore, been decided to build near Toxic
a dwelling which shall rival in splen-
dor anything existing in the East and
possibly even surpass the royal palaces
of Europe and the magnificent struc.
lures Of America.
TO achieve this object It was neces-
sary that Japan's architects should see
some Of the buildings Of the West, and
accordingly Prof. Toro Iwamura and
Mr.. Sano, the former member of the
Toxic Academy Of Fine Arts, and the
later an architect in the employ of the
Japanese Government, have started on
a tour with this purpose In view. After
visiting various cities in the United
States and Canada they will extend
their tour to Europe.-Lond0n Daily

pROMINENT MEN ELEC0NS{

In 1S4S Cass was United States SEN
ator, but resigned when the Democrats
nominated him for the presidency. Wv
ing to the opposition Of the Free Sellers,
he did not receive the electoral vote OF
New York State, and the Wing candr
date, Taylor, won the prize.
Horace Greeley's defeat In the presi.
Dental contest Of 1872, with its direfu'
aftermath, was a political tragedy. High
in the councils Of the Republican party,
respected by the whole people, Greeley
put aside the political principles OF
lifetime to become the candidate OF DEM
ocracy. Overwhelming defeat broke his
generous heart and was quickly followed
by death.
Samuel J. Tilden's failure to be inau'
gurated as President Of the United states
is the one weak link in the presidential
chain that connects the present with the
dawn Of the republic.
The result of the contest in 1876 was
in doubt from the close Of the polls on
election day until March 2, 1877, when
the electoral commission appointed to set.
tie the matter decided that Rutherford
B. Hayes had received 1875 votes as
against 1874 for Samuel j. Tilden.
1t was perilous period, and the nation
owes much to the man who refrained
from speaking the word that might have
plunged the country into civil war.

Knight" is perhaps the saddest figure In

Anthor Made a Happy Hit.

One Of the most popular novels Of the
day had a strange history which might
have been considered fatal to its sue
cess had it been known in advance. A
New York author whose books are al
ways sure of a certain degree of p0pu-
larity finished all but the last few chap.
ters Of novel. Try as he might, 1t was
for him to complete the
story satisfactorily. So he put the book
away, and for two years it lay unfinish-
ed on his desk, although tile author
thought of the work from time to time
without being able to get any nearer
the solution of the plot.
Finally he lost all hope Of ever COM
plotting the work and decided to end it
at a point several chapters in advance
Of that at which he had ceased to write.
With this abrupt and unexpected end
ing the novel went to publisher, was
accepted and turned out one Of the
most popular novels this author has
ever written. One of the most praised
features Of the book is its unconven-
tional ending, which Is said to be Just
explicit enough to satisfy everybody
without going into inartistic detail. And
the author was at one time so discour-
aged about the ending Of the book that
he had almost given up the idea of SUBJ
hitting it to any publisher.-New York
Sun
