EQUALIZATION
Board Issues a Statement as 10 Its
Work,


AS there seems tc be general mis-
understanding concerning the present
work of the Decennial Board ofEquali-
zation, the members of the Beard wish
the matter to be cleared up and
through the columns of the Leader
they desire to give the public exact in
formation in regard to their present
occupation and future intentions.
The Board is at present and has
been. all during their past weeks of
work, engaged in equalizing the ap-
praisement of property. They have
completed this work, which is purely
preliminary, to the corner of Greene
and Second streets After the entire
city has been viewed and equalized the
Board will then compare the result
obtained by them with the appraisers
footings, when the final rate of valu-
alton will be fixed. They will then
scale or add by fixed per cent and
the result will be the value for the
next ten years.
The statute does not provide for
any extension of time over and above
that allotted to the appraisers of cit
les of Marietta's size. AS the work to
be done is almost double that of ten
years ago, it is apparent that they will
be kept busy during their allotted
time.

Century Reviews Closing,

The absence of managers during the
hot season and lack Cf vigor of the
compiler, has somewhat delayed the
Marietta Board Of Trade edition. which
was expected to have been completed
and delivered this month, but the
work is now in its last third and the
last form will be closed in four weeks.
The middle third of the book shows
the merit of the work to have been
kept at the high grade upon which it
started, and the Leader believes it will
be a pamphlet which every Mariet-
tian will take pride in preserving or in
mailing to friends. OF the 5000 edit
tion being printed, nearly four-fifths
have been ordered, and the entire bal
ance will be closed out this month.
Secretaries that are getting up clubs
must report by Sept. 25th the number
required. For brief time parties de-
string to mail two copies to friends can
secure three numbers for one dollar
by ordering from d. p Robbins at the
st. Cloud hotel. The work will have
l2O phot engraveurs, condensed read
ing regarding every material feature
of Marietta, covering 132 pages, bound
in leatherette. If yCu need them or
der promptly.

Finding Ocean Denths.

An interesting appliance used in
laying cables is the submarine sem
try and sounding machine. 1t is
often desirable to keep the cable at
an even depth, especially out of shall
low water. The "kite." or sound
ing machine. is set at the minimum
depth desired and thrown over the
stern. When the boat gets into shall
lower water than desired the lever
at the lower end of the "kite" strikes
the bottom, releasing the towline at
one end, and allowing the kite" TO
come to the surface, at the same time
ringing signal bell on the bridge.

The tribe is wealthy through its fiocks.
The tribesmen are believed to own lit

by the Rentfrow company. 1t gave
much opportunity for character acting

name it is all right, but if it is merely
stage one it ought to be dropped)

of Cyrus Benkharn, quaint Eng
lish inventor and Mis- Grace Rentfrow
was pretty and pathetic as Mary
Blenkharn.' Miss May Walters also
did well as Nancy Blenkharn,' as
did the whole company in fact in all
the parts.
Mr. 'Scsso by all odds surpassed any
thing he had done before. He is strong
and satisfactory as Caleb Blenkharn'
-as much so as many noted actors in
famous productions.
The company will present Monte
Christie tonight and as they are talent
ed people they should be able to do it
in satisfactory way"
This company appears here every

Mayor Harrison a reply to his note Of
protest
IT am fully satisfied with the expla-
nation" said the Duke d'Arcos. In
fact I knew from the first that a mis-
take had been made. Still I could not
permit the incident to close without a
protest. Since my arrival in the Unit
ed States I have received the most
courteous treatment. I know the Amer
lean people are too broad-minded and

s.ZAZA' sTORMsELONDON.
Mrs. Carter and the Belasco Play En-
Enthusiastically Received

London, April 17-Both authors and
actors must have been fully satisfied
with the reception given David Belasco's
"Zaza" at the Garrick theater last
night under the management Of Chas.
F'rohman. The performance went with
out a hitch and after a slight hesitation
on the part of the audience
during the dressingrOom scene in
the first act the play caught on" The
earliest indecision only served to empha-
size the warmth with which a crowded
house greeted the remainder Of the per-
formance-
Mrs. Leslie Carter was in excellent
spirits and her clever and artistic rem
dering Of her realistic role promises to
make il as popular in London as it was
in the United States
After the second. third and especially
the fourth acts, Mrs. Carter was most
enthusiastically applauded and at the
close she and Mr.. Belasco were called
repeatedly before the curtain.
NJ. Bertan, one of the French authors
Of the play adapted by Mr.. BelascO, had
Mrs. Carter's portrayal of the title role
and he came in for a liberal share of the
applause.
The performance meets with a vary
ing reception at the hands of the critics.
The Daily Telegraph and the Standard
regard the play as too realistic rather
than vulgar"
Several papers are inclined to be rath-
er severe in their criticism. but almost
all admit the great strength Of Mrs
Carter's acting. The Daily Mail, which
says that "Zaza" will draw the town,
compares Mrs. Carter's extraordinary
sensational acting with Bernhardt's-

CLOSE CALL FOR HAY.
Webster Davis Saved Him From
Being Sent Home.


Kansas CITY. No, April IA Wash
ington dispatch to the Journal states
that but for the intercession Of Web
ster Davis. late assistant secretary Of
the interior, Albert Hay, son Of the sec
retaFy Of state, would have not receiv-
ed his exequatur as American consul at
Pretoria
Mr.. Davis was in Pretoria about the
time Mr.. Hays arrival was expected
The Transvaal officials had already
heard of the new consufs sojourn in
London, had been informed that he had
placed himself in communication with
the foreign Office there and had actual
" had an interview with Lord Sails
bury. They had been further informed
that after his appointment Mr.. Hay had
held a three hours conference with John
HayesHammond,c convicted of high trea-
son against the Transvaal government
and now an active campaigner against
the BOer cause.
1t was at this stage Of the case of
Consul Hay, according to the Journals 5
Washington correspondent, that State
Secretary Reitz took the assistant sec
retaFy of the interior into his conf
dence.
See here, Davis said ReItz. '.It
viii never do for US to receive this
young man and admit him to the con-
ndentiai relations to which he is enti-
tied as American consul With the i'm
pressions which he must have received
in London in consultation with our en-
emies it would be suicidal We would
be harboring an emissary Of Great Bri-
tain in our midst"
This was the status of affairs when
Davis took up young Hays case He
| persuaded Secretary Reitz to receive
him. partly because he wished to avoid
any possibility of offending the Ameri-
can secretary of state and party be-
! cause he trusted to the impressions
| young Hay would receive from personal
| contact with the Beers TO convert him
| into a friend of the republics.
On the plea made by Davis, young
/ Hay escaped the humiliation of being
sent home as persona non grafa
