CITY GETS ALL.
Fears of Alderman as to Back Tax Re.
Ceipts are Unfounded.

County Auditor Gunders states that
the city is receiving the full amount OF
its apportionment of the back taxes
collected under the Wellman contract
He states that the county board as well
as himself fully understands that it has
no right to withhold from the city any
of the latters taxes. The compensation
paid to VIM Fleener under the Wellman
contract comes entirely from the county
fund, and the state, city, villages and
school districts will all receive the full
amount due them
Mr.. Fleener corroborates what Mr.
Gunders states, He says that he is te
receive one-half of all OF the taxes
collected as result of his labors, but
that the county must pay this out OF
it's own funds, allowing the state, city
and villages to have their full share
no previous arrangement having beer
made whereby they should pay any
thing toward the remuneration of him
self He believes that the first yeal
the county will come out about even
as the penalties collected. added to its
share of the taxes, will about equal the
shares due to the city, state, etc. AfteI
the first year, the county will not have
to pay Mr.. Fleener and will be large
gamer from his work.

SHAkESPEARE RELICS.
Tho Poets Waistcoat, snuKbox and
Other Articles,

In all probability the most valuable
Shakespearean relics extant in Ameri-
ca are in the possession of Sidney Ver-
non Bakewell Of this city, says the In
dianapols Press. They consist of i
waistcoat and jeweled tie pin, d
snuffbox. his mothers workbag, and a
string of beads and a vinaigrette bot
tie worn by Anne Hathaway at her
marriage. MIR. Bakewell's maternal
grandmother was daughter Of James
Shakespeare, the fifth of the Shake
speares in direct lineal descent from
the bard Of Avon. The facing Of the
waistcoat Is a brocade OF satin, the
numerous designs worked in with
brieht-colored silk thread 1t is lined
with sateen, excepting the lower part
which is lined with kid leather. The
cut is peculiarly low, in order to ad-
nit of the use of expansive ruffled
shirt fronts, which were stylish in
those days. The buttons are small and
covered with black cloth. The work
bag. made by the bard's mother, is $40
years old. and the oldest relic in the
lot. 1t is handmade, Of species of
grass interviewer with silk design Of
the shamrock and the thistle. The
poets snuffbox is of ebony, and the
lid, which is now apart from the rest
Of the box, is laid with pearl. The pin
contains dozen diamonds set in solid
silver. The beads are round and trans
parent, streaked with red color, and
vary in size from a pea to an ordinary
marble. They are fastened with a sill

HAvANA'S BRIGHT FUTURE,
Cuban Capital Will he a Great Winter
Resort for the Rich.


An enterprising and wealthy Ameri-
can, Henry NJ. Flagler, who has had
great success in hotel management,
has decided to erect a $500 900 hotel
in Havana. with the same convent
ences and luxurious appointments as
now has an engineer and an architect
in Havana making the plans and work
will be begun as soon as the drawings
and specifications can be completed.
The site of the hotel will be on the
beach across the entrance to the bay
from MORO castle, where Mr.. Flagler
has purchased large plot of
ground which will be laid out in park
by landscape architects with the same
artistic effect as the grounds about his
other hotels. AS soon as the hotel is
finished, Mr.. Flagler will put on new
line Of steamers from Miami to Ha-
vana. making the trip in one night. so
that passengers may avoid the dis
gulf stream. 1t is understood also that
the Morgan line will put on three or
four new and fast steamers from New
Orleans to accommodate the travel
from the Mississippi valley and other
parts of the west, the intention being
to make Havana popular winter re-
sort for the rich people of the United
States A New York man has pur-
chased a site and has made plans for
a large apartment house fronting the
Prado, which will be erected at a cost
of not less than 100000 and work will
be commenced at once.

PENTELikON rlAR3lE.
Its Beanty and Purity Greater Than
That nf f,nrrara

That OF Carrars.
The famous marble quarries OF the
Pentelikon, near Athens, remained un
disturbed and silent until this century,
when, after the crowning of the first
king OF Greece the erection of royal
palace again called attention to the
national wealth in the finest of stone,
says Chambers Journal. The road to
the foot of the Pentell hills was re-
opened, the bridges were repaired, ana
a large quantity of the famous old
marble was employed in the construc-
tion OF new Athens. 1t was wisely
decided that the old Greek quarries
should remain untouched, so that We
working these in classic times. This
Pentelikon marble forms a great part
or the ranges, and, fortunately, the
upper portion. The lower part to $50
feet Is limestone in transition; but
thence up to LOO feet it is pure mar
Bile, the estimate being that there still
remain .OO0,OO0,O 900 tons Of pure white
marble and 6OO,OOO,O0O tons Of white
marble with blue veins. A railway
has now been constructed to the foot
of the range, to meet the inclined
plane that carries the blocks down
from the quarries, so this fine stone,
from which the Parthenon at Athens
was built 2,4OO years ago. can be deliv-
cred at cheap rate throughout Eu
rope. Seeing that the so-called Elgin
marbles, obtained by Lord Elgin from
the Parthenon, were made from this
marble, it may readily be credited
when asserted by an authority that the
Pentelikon marble is harder. has
finer grain and is in every respect su-
perior to the Carrara marble. Its
purity and beauty must be seen to be
appreciated.

Entertainment in Korea.

There are worse places than Korea
to take short leave" to. A man sta
toned in the east writes home an in
teresting account of his trip to the
peninsula. Embarking on a Japanese
vessel, he and some friends found
themselves at Chemulpo, port on the
west coast of Korea; from there they
went up to Seoul, the capital, where
they remained a few days. 1t was a
most interesting place and they visited
the palace where the king and queen
used to live. They were shown the
spot where the queen was mysterious
ly murdered some few years ago. Ko-
reans are all dressed in white gar
ments and wear high hats like the
Welsh peasants and are friendly to for
eigners. In summer both the climate
and country are delightful, but in win
ter it is decidedly cold, considerably
below zero at Vladivostok, in the
north of Korea. but clear and bracing
and something like the Cashmere eli

Wooden Bedsteads Return to Favor.
Wooden bedsteads are coming into
fashion again, not only in this coun-
try, but in England, whence the idea
of the metal bedsteads was imported.
Aside from the love of change which
has its effect in causing many house.
keepers to revert to the wooden bed,
the advance in the price Of brass Is
partially responsible for this revival.
Then many persons like to have sets
of furniture and can match things up
better with a wooden bed than with
one Of iron or brass. Most people who
have welcomed the simplicity and
cleanliness of the install beds will he
loath to give them up or believe that
any one WILL but the fact remains that
dealers are selling five or six times as
many wooden beds as they did last
year.
