EQUALIZATION OF TAXES
County Commissioners are Raising the Al
sesments On Many Properties.

The board of county commissioners
went into regular session yesterday, its
chief business being the consideration
Of the returns made by taxpayers to the
county assessor. 1t is incumbent upon
them to go over these records once a
year and equalize the tax returns, not
a very pleasant duty, but one that must
be performed. This year the board finds
very large number Of taxpayers have
made extremely low returns, and these
are being raised regardless of race, col
or or previous condition, etc. The COM
missioners will likely finish their work
this afternoon and adjourn to the first
Monday in July, when they will meet to
hear any complaints that may be made
against their action.

Famous Novelist Has Become One of
the Houses Literary Advisers.
William Dean HowellS. the foremost
figure in American letters today, is to
be one of the literary advisers to the
reorganized house of Harper & Bros.
The department Of the Easy Chair
in Harper;s Magazine. made famous
by George William Curtis and aban-
doned since his death, is to be revived
by Mr.. Howells. and he will also con-
tribute critical articles on contempt
rary literary affairs to The North
American Review.
BY special arrangement AIeSsrs. Har-
per * Bros. have secured from Mr..
Howells both periodical and book
rights to all of his future works. The
department of the Easy Chair in
Harper's Magazine was established in
1851. Donald G. Mitchell Ok MARVEL
was the first incumbent. Mr.. Curtis
began his work in connection with the
Easy Chair in 1858 and occupied the
position until shortly before his death.
Mr.. Howells' association with the
magazine has been of 10 standing.
For several years he -cted the

She Picture Broker.

To be equal to the occasion is a sure
passport to lucrative employment. The
increasing popularity of illustration. as
every writer has discovered, tends TO
decrease the demand for and cOnse-
quently ths. price of copy" Early
perceiving tie drift of the market, a
clever, enterprising woman scribblcr
began some time ago to collect photo
graphs of noted people and places.
which she lends for a fixed price to
newspapers and periodicals.. Having
lived in Paris and London, she is in
direct communication with the CONT
mental photographers, who send to her
regularly the latest photographs of
court and society beauties, royalty and
all persons in the public eye. Every
broker may be met in Park row max
ing her weekly round of the newspaper
Offices, submitting new pictures for the
coming Saturday or Sunday supple
ments and collecting the pictures used
in the publications of the preceding
week. Generally each photograph is
accompanied by 200 or 300 words of
descriptive matter. Frequently the
same photograph Is rented over and
over again. Her stock in trade, like
that in Wall street, has its ups and
downs, but her income from the photo
graphs alone nets her a good weekly
income

Editors Study n department of lit
erary comment and criticism which
happily supplemented the Easy
Chair" Later this department was
conducted by Mr.. Charles Dudley
Warner. Many of Mr.. Howells' best
known novels have appeared serially
in Harper's Magazine. the most not
able being Their Silver Wedding
Journey" which ran throughout 1899.
Mr.. Howells' first journalistic work
was done for the Cincinnati Gazette
and the Columbus State Journal. From
1861 to 1860 lie was United States con-
sui general ut Venice, and not until
his return from this mission did he be-
gin his career as Il novelist. Since
that time he has written a great num-
Der of successful novels as well as sew
eral collections of critical essays. No
American writer has been more pro-
ductiye, and none has succeeded in
maintaining so generally high a stand
ard in his work. Other recent writer's
have perhaps attained n greater popu-
larity for the moment, but it is doubt
full if any has achieved so lasting n po-
sition in American letters.
According to the publishers Mr. How
ellis work in connection with The
North American Review will consist in
contributing to every issue an article
commenting upon the literary move
ments and tendencies of the month.
He will also review occasional books
of general and recognized Importance.
simultaneously with the restoration
of the Easy Chair" in the December
number the Editors Study" will be
revived by Henry Mills Alden, whose
ripe experience as editor of The Mag
aZine and literary adviser of the house
for 80 years makes him particularly fit
ted for the task.

MIX. mcKIsLEY. TIE BKIcKLAYEE

/ MIX. NICK iNLE1' TIE BRIChLA1E ls
The republican press bureau is send.
ing out to the labor papers and the
dailies printed in Industrial centers
an account of how President Mckinley
was made an honorary member of the
Bricklayers' union of Chicago in Aug
| ust, 1899. Mr.. Mckinley has always
had penchant for being all things to
all men. He is the plain tool of the
trusts. He protects them and carries
out their desires in every possible
wav. Yet Just before election his
managers try to make organized labor
believe that President Mckinley is
| lone of them"
The account of his election to hon
orary membership is entirely correct.
The bricklavers conferred the honor
upon him in order that he could lay
the cornerstone of Chicago's 81 600, 900
postuflice as a union man.
The facsimile of the card which &C
companies the letter sent out by the
spublicaus indicates that President
only lasted three months named on
the card, July, August and Septem Der.
1899.
II is fair to assume that the brick
layers intended the mem bership for
only the time stipulated and that thev
wisely refrained from making it per-
manent. How could they tell what
the administration would do to organ
lied labor in the future? By limiting
the time of the mem bership they es-
cape some esponsibility.
The good taste and judgment of the
bricklayers' union in giving the pres
ident honorary mem bership in their
union has been severely criticised by
other unions. Calling attention to it
ut this time is not likely to make
union votes for Mr.. Mckinley.
But the motive actuating the brick
layers was one of courtesy and good
feeling. 1t pro bably never occurred
to them that their courtesy would be
exploited for campaign purposes a
year later aud at that time the union
In which the president claimed hon
oIarp membership would be in the
throes of one of the most bitter strikes
ever known to the building trades in
this country.
Wonder If President Mckinley
knows that the building contractors
VI NuAN9Sc- pAaSliSaAl1 lIuSI-uas
vowed to break up the bricklayers'
union and every other one among the
binding trades as a preliminary to q
sweeping cut in wages.
II he does know it, apparently he is
indifferent, for he never lifted finger
or uttered a word of sympathy. Even
an honorary member can be of vast
service to his uDion if his sympsthies
are with it. But if his sympathies
happen to be with the employers his
honorary membership is a distinct
injury.
fhe last congress was republican in
both branches. 1t could have passed
any Dor legislation it desired The
president and his party claim to be
one in policy. The Fifty-sixth con-
gress would certainly have carried out

THE repu blican state committee. has
announced that it has made a COM
plete poll of the state of Illinois, out
side of Cook county. and that the re-
suit shows a plurality of $4,000
for Mckinley. The statement is
as rank a fake as was ever
printed. as can be easily shown.
That the republicans made the poll is
likely, but that they found the out
look much more favorable TO Bryan
than Mckinley is more likely. In fact
the rumor is daily gaining more
ground in Chicago that the result
gave Bryan the state of Illinois by
30. 900, and that there was conse-
quently but one thing left for the re-
publicans to do, and that was to claim
the state. and claim it big.

Fall Couture.

The arrangement of the hair at the
back for evening wear requires that it
shall always be pushed as far forward
as possible straight up from the nape
of the neck to above the crown of the
head. but 1t is then pulled down again
so that the soft waves will show. The
ears, says Harper's Bazaar, are almost
hidden by this arrangement of hair.
There is q part sometimes on one side
of the head or just in the middle, and
then the hair is pulled up on either side
of the part so that it looks full and
soft and, of course, thick. This fash
ion of soft, full hair is, as rule, more
becoming than more severe style, but
the trouble is that the hair requires to
be kept in most perfect order. 1t must
be we'll brushed and washed often and
always well combed; otherwise it looks
untidy, and an untidy head is more
questionable now than it ever was
known before. Glossy, well brushed
locks with a slight wave through them
make every woman look we'll. but a
mass of hair all ruffIed up and looking
as though rats had been in 1t is n most
untidy way Of arranging the hair. 1t
is unbecoming and not in the least
