STAR BID AT STATE TAX SALE.
d. F. Reyes Pays $11.3 SO for One-Decil.
lionth of a Square Inch.

Albany.-The star bid received by
the state at a tax sale was made the
other day. when D. F. Keyes of One
onta put in a bid on one-decillionth
of a square inch On a piece of prop
erty in Richmond county. The prop
erty is on Wall street in Southfield.
The lot is fifty feet front and ninety
five feet deep and contains about 703.-
800 square inches. The mount of
taxes against this parcel was $11.36.
At a state tax sale the and is sold
to the person who will take the least
quantity there of and pay the tax
rate against the whole parcel. By
this means, when the land is bid down
the purchaser secures title to only so
much of the Ian as is covered by his
bid, h remainder Of the land being
free from the lien of the taxes. In
most cases the bidder simply agrees
to pay the tax for the whole piece Of
land. If the land is particularly de-
sirable. or even there are several
claimants to the title. as was the case
in this instance, there is apt to be
considerable competition and the
mount of land is bid down. The
state holds a IA sale every five years.

OVERCOME BY HIS LUCK.
A French Peasant Who Drew a Prize
of 800. 900 and tainted.

London Daily Mail: Before the clos
ing of the Paris exposition the last
| great lottery connected with this STU
pendous show was drawn for, the win
ner of which. a poo peasant, found
himself the richer by half a million
francs-this is 800. 900.
The drawing for this great prize was
fixed for half past 2 in the afternoon.
At 2 o'clock the great hall was dense
ly packed with a mixed but anxious
crowd. Dukes. duchesses. counts.
countesses, officers, business men of
all descriptions, workmen in their
holiday attire. workmen in their work
ing clothes-an went to make up a
vivid and sensational picture.
One peasant told the writer that he
had travelled 200 miles in order to be
in Paris in time to see the draw for
the great fortune and to max sure
that all was fairly done.
At the tick of half past two the COM
mittee, composed of men of irreproacn-
able character men of the highest
standing-iled In. The general Sec
rotary of the bank, NJ. Rouxel, presid-
ed.
Before the drawing" he explained
to the people that the first would win
500 900 francs, the second and third
10, 900 francs, the five following 1000
francs, and 100 others 100 francs each.
the supreme moment has arrived.
Two boys are each placed before a
wheel, the boy on the right giving the
series. the one on the left giving the
number. There are 1925 series of TO-
900 numbers each.
The silence is painful. The faces OF
the people in the hall are all anxious
and in many cases quite drawn.
The wheels are turned. The boys
each, TAX a numOer The prize, the
fortune, is decided.
Number $3.50 of the sixteenth series
mas won, and the owner of this comes
into possession of SOC, 900 francs.
Number $3.50. winner of the first
priZe," is called out. A cry from the
center of the a a weird, unnatural
cry, and the possessor of ticket $3.50
falls back, staggers, and is carried
away senseless. He is a poor peasant
who for years has earned more
than 20 francs a week. Now?***
1t is interesting to learn that the
winner of the great prize for 1895
a woman-has not yet bee paid. This
lady won the Observation-Disclosures
franc prize. but had cut off a small
portion of her ticket.
Now the law regulating these lotter-
les is that the ticket must be present
ed intact. Should it be mutilated in
the slightest the winner is barred from
receiving the prize until thirty years
have elapsed.

The Alliance Discussed In European
Political Circles and Journals.
London.s Oct. 22.-There is much dis-
cussion of the Anglo-German agree
ment. The differences drawn by Berlin
journals, that Lord Salisbury consulted
all the powers thru their diplomatic
representatives in London, are inaccu-
rate. The agreement has been genuine
surprise to odiplomatists here, and the
unusual method by which it has been
proclaimed to the world precludes the
| assumption that the powers We're pri-
Yately consulted in advance.
The motive for the somewhat theatri.
cal manner in which the joint declara-
| ton of policy has been made known is
obscure. If the announc ement had been
made in Berlin the German emperor
would have been charged with adyertie-
ling his diplomatic exploits with large
letters, but Lord Salisbury has no taste
ifor melodrama in statecraft.
The most reasonable theory is that the
new dual alliance has been formed tos
