of the state by forms Of taxation
other than by levies upon real and
personal property. We favor further
legislation in this direction, to the
end that the burden of taxation upon
property may be lessened, and we de-
nounce as unjust any scheme which
aims to cast the entire burden of tax
alton upon real estate.
Ohio has just reason to be proud of
her distinguished Senators, Joseph
b. Foraker. and Marcus A. Hanna.
They are able in debate and wise in
counsel. To them and to our Repub-
lican members of the house of repre-
sentatives we extend our full and COR
dial approval.
Senator Foraker has rendered splen-
did and conspicuous service to our
country during his term in the United
States senate and we earnestly en-
endorse him for a second term.
To this declaration of principles,
and to the candidates nominated and
endorsed by this convention, we pledge
our loyal support.

Three and one-half tons of dyna-
mite are to be exploded under the
narrows between Fort Hamilton and
Fort Wadsworth. The dynamite was
used in torpedoes during the Spanish
war as a defense to the harbor. Aft
er the war Maj. II. H. Adams, of the
engineer corps, instead of exploding
the torpedoes extracted the charges
and stored the dynamite. Maj. w. L.
Marshall has advertised it for sale,
but there have been no bids for it,
Maj. Marshall has therefore decid-
ed to sink the dynamite in casks of
800 pounds each into the waters of
the Narrows. Electric connections are
to be made with the forts and the
dynamite will be exploded by the
touch of key. When Maj Marshall
setS off his 1900 pounds of dynamite

VESSELS TO BE HEAVIER.
Plans for New BattIcships Provide
fer Increased Displacement at
the Sacrifice of Speed.

Plans for the new battleships is the
question now under consideration by
the naval board of construction. 1t
has been decided to increase the dis
placement of these vessels from pre-
viously designed ships of the same
class, and the new vessels will have a
displacement of about $4,000 tons.
There will be no greater speed than
10 knots, it having been decided that
speed in excess of that rate will only
be at the sacrifice of other qualities
which are more desirable in a large
vessel of war.
1t is proposed to have formidable
battery on board each vessel and to
have a large sailing radius, fully 10000
miles in extent. To accomplish this it
will be necessary to limit the speed to
10 knots, and the question of speed
has been settled in favor of that rate
by the experts, who believe that the
other qualities to be gained thereby
are of greater Importance than in
creased speed.
Rear Admiral Melville was in favor
of using ships equipped with three
screws, but his associates voted down
that proposition.

1t was announced the other night
that the new York Electric Vehicle
and Transportation company has ac-
quired control of the Metropolitan
Express company, formed in Albany
a few weeks ago, and that a system
of baggage and parcel exchange will
be opened in connection with the
Metropolitan Street Railway COM
pany. AT the time the Metro
politan Express company was
formed Frank II. Platt appeared
as an incorporation of the COM
pany, and all sorts of rumors
were afioat as to the object of the
company. 1t now develops that un-
der his direction a contract was
made with the Metropolitan Street
railway, by which it would carry ex-
press cars over all it's lines, except
on Broadway. The cars will connect
with the lines of the Union Railway
company, running to Mount Vernon,
New Rochelle and other points.

vANDALs AT THE CAPITOL.
Relic Hunters Dig Holes i'm Mosaic
Flooring in Front of Entrance
to Supreme Court Rooms.

Vandals in search of relics have
dug several holes in the mosaic floor
directly in front of the entrance to
the supreme court in the capitol build
ing at Washington. Soon after the fire
which destroyed portion of the SUI
preme court chamber and other rooms
in the vicinity mosaic floor was laid
in the corridor directly in front of
the courtroom. 1t was an excellent
piece of work and has been greatly
admired by the thousands of persons
who have visited the capital recently.
1t was discovered the other day that
about ten of these diminutive stone
squares had been taken out of the
floor and carried away. Just when
this was done no one is able to say,
but as the building is almost deserted
during the vacation it would be an
easy matter for anyone to commit
an act of vandalism of this kind as
the police force is somewhat limited
during the recess of congress.
The damage done can be repaired at
a small cost. 1t frequently happens
that visitors entering the building
cannot resist the temptation to take
away some memento of their visit at
the risk of being arrested and impris-
oned.
Whenever person is detected de-
facing the capitol building he is
prosecuted to the full extent of the
law.

Howard Blakeslee, of Detroit, the
freshman class president, was
caught at three o'clock the other
morning near the top of the 15O-foot
flag pole that came to Ann Arbor
college from the worlds fair, at
tempting to afiiN his class flag to
the highest point on the campus.
Warden Armbruser noticed a dark
object on the pole, and yelled for it
to come down. superintendent of
Grounds Reeves and a boiler-room
contingent were attracted to the
spot, and as the unknown refused to
come down, they sat in a circle at
the foot of the pole smoking cigars
and pipes.
At last Blakeslee became exhaust
ed, and slowly slid to the ground,
where he was identified. The hal
yards of the pole had been cut and a
big freshman flag was confiscated.

An incident at the Porte st. Martin
theater In Paris has become part Of
the annals of the show business. The
CHIEF feature of the exhibition was q
sstttrn" consisting Of the casting Of q
young woman securely bound into a
cage Of lions heralded as being the
dercest and most bloodthirsty Of man
eaters.
The woman who had the part Of the
victim was taken Ill, and substitute
was found in the wife of one of the
trainers, herself trainer Of some ex-
perience. but without any acquaintance
with these particular six lions. AS she
was somewhat nervous she carried q
sraaN club ready for use should occa-
sion arise.
Amid the breathless silence Of the
spectators the ringmaster explained
the ferocious nature Of the lions and
the terrible risk of the woman, and
she was thrust In at the cage door.
In the excitement of the occasion the
door was not securely shut after her.
No sooner was she fairly inside than
the six monarchs of the jungle, seeing
that strange person had been forced
upon them, raised chorus of shudder-
ing terror, bolted for the cage door,
clawed it open and with dragging tails
and cringing tanks fed out through
q rear entrance and found refuge in a
cellar, whence they were dislodged on
ly after great difficulty.
1t was a week before the "ferocious
man eaters" were sufficiently recover
ed from their terrors to reappear in
pubIic.-McClure's Magazine.

Crockford, the proprietor of a well
known London gambling house, was
made to play a queer role after he was
dead. When one of Crockford's horses
was poisoned just before the Derby,
the misfortune brought on an attack
Of apoplexy, which proved fatal with
In 48 hours. Now, many of Crock
ford's friends had staked large sums
on another Of the gamblers horses,
which was a favorite for the Oaks and
which was disqualified by the death
of the owner. Only the people in the
gambling house knew of Crockford's
death, and it was resolved to keep it
a secret until after the race.
The servants were bribed and sworn
to secrecy, and the conspirators on
the day after the night upon which
Crockford died had the body placed in
a chair at a window, so that people re-
turning from the track could see the
gambler sitting there. He was fixed
up to look as lifelike as possible and
through the window and partially con-
cealed from view by the curtains look
ed SO natural that no one of the great
crowd which came cheering by the
house when on their return from see
ing Crockford's horse win the Oaks
suspected the trick.
The next day it was announced that
Crockford was dead, but it was years
before the true story leaked out

A splendid Blun.

Sir Walter Besant is said to have
once settled disputed cab fare in a
novel manner He drove from Picca-
dilly to some place in the suburbs out
side the radius. On getting down he
rendered to the driver three shillings
and sixpence, which was little over
the proper fare. The man, however,
wanted i've shillings. Besant refused.
'T'd like to fight you for it." said the
driver.
"The very thing" said Besant, who
had never in his life put on a boxing
glove and was almost as ignorant as
Pickwick even of the fighting attitude.
1.-THE very thingl Capital! Well
have the fight in the back garden.
My brother will look on, hold the
stakes and see fair!"
The cabman got down slowly, as If
he did not quite care about it after all.
He followed into the garden, where
there was a lovely bit of green turf.
Besant placed the five shillings in his
friends hands, took off his coat and
waistcoat and rolled up his sleeves
all with an air Of cheerful alacrity.
"Now, my friend" said he, II am
ready as soon as you are" His anxiety
was great, but it decreased as he
watched the claimants face express
successfully all the emotions Of bounce,
surprise, doubt, hesitation and abject
cowardice.

At one of the clubs the other day
two members were arguing about will
power.
The conceited man, who was in the
habit of boring all present with his
pointless tales, said that his will was
stronger than his friends.
"You are wrong there" said the quiet
man, land l will prove it in this way:
You go and stand in that corner, and
1 will will you to come out of it. You
will against me, and bet you that
will have you from that corner before
/ have commanded you second time"
The smart one took the bet and put
himself in the corner. The quiet man
said In a commanding voice:
"Come out of that cornerp'
The other grinned and shook his
head. The quiet man sat down and
looked at him steadily. Five minutes
passed, and the man Of will said, with
a sneer: Hadn't you better give 1t up?
/ don't feel any influence at all, and
can't stand here all the evening"
"There is no hurry" said the quiet
man, land l have a very comfortable
seat. There is no time limit except
that you are to come out before l ask
you twice, and as 1 don't intend to ask
you again until this day week 1 think
you will feel the influence before
then"
The smart one came out looking very
foolish.-London King.
