NARROW ESCAPE
OF TORPEDO

NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-A special to
officer of the Royal Yacht Ophir is au-
thority for the statement that the tor
pedo boat destroyer Quail was within
an ace of being sunk by the Ophir in
the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The occur
renee was witnessed by the Duke and
Duchess of Cornwall, who We're on
deck at the time. The Quail was or
dercd tO come alongside The Ophir and
take off dispatches from the duke,
which were to be cabled or mailed to
the King of England.
The Ophir was going ut sixteen knots
an hour, and the Quail came up at
twenty knots, the plan being to take
off the bag containing the dispatches
hung from a boom over the Ophirs
side while both We're at full speed.
The man failed to get off the bag, and
the Quail was drawn toward the Ophir,
while the water splashed high between
them.
Those on board the Ophir thought it
was all up with the little quail. So
close was she to the Ophir that she
fouled a rope and her stern was drawn
under the bows OF the Ophir. The
commander ordered fun speed ahead,
the rope cleared itself, the destroyer
got away. and at a S5-knot clip the
Quail proceeded TO Quebec.

ISLAND HELD BY MOSQUITOES.
Syndicate Buys 1t to Drive Them
Out and Reclaim Property.

CALAIS. Me, Sept. ia syndicate
of New York capitalists mas purchased
Seal Island and next season proposes
to make an effort TO reclaim it from the
mosquitoes which, from farther back
than the memory OF the oldest inhabit-
ant extends, have remained in undis-
puted possession OF one of the most
beautiful spots on the New England
coast.
Seal Island is in the open ocean about
sixteen miles south of Grand Menan.
1t is about 500 acres in extent and it
has forest, turf, cliffs and fine stretches
of white sandy beach. There Is excel
lent fishing off the island and being di-
rectly in the track OF the steamers it is
easily accessible from the mainland.
Near the center of the island is a
rocky basin of about half an acre in
extent filed with stagnant water. This
is fed by small spring and by tn"
rains and has no apparent outlet, eVapn-
ration keeping the water at about the
same level in the summer In this Pool
are bred swarms Of mosquitoes, equal
in size and ferocity to the largest and
fiercest found on the Southern coast,
The pests hold possession of the island
and attack all who attempt to land 50
vcnomously and in such overwhelming
numbers that a stay is impossible
Natives and those who know the pc
cularities of the island give it a wide
berth. Occasionally a yachting party
lands there. but Is speedily repelled Sew
eral attempts have been made to pasture
sheep, but the mosquitoes have driven
the poor beasts into frenzy and many
have dashed themselves over the cliffs,
craZed by the attacks of the insects.
| Early in June this year a party in "A
naphtha launch which had broken down
made "A landing on the island for repairs.
/ They We're beset by the mosquitoes, and
escaped only by standing up to their
| necks in the water and remaining there
| for several hours. Then passing steam
| er rescued them
| A few weeks ago, two Philadelphia men
| determined to explore the island. They
went there prepared with head nets and
| anti mosquito lotions, and although bad
~ bitten, they succeeded in making a
survey of the island They found that the
| pool in which the mosquitoes bred was
| slightly above the sea level and that at
one place the retaining wall of the nat
| ural reservoir was but few feet in
! thickness and few charges of explosive
| would demolish this. This will be done
early next season, in the hope of draining
the pool nearly to the bottom. This
| would eXterminate the mosquitoes and
make the island habitable, opening up a
property worth thousands of dollars. as
it seems an ideal place for u summer re-
| sort.

PLAN NEW MEAT MARKET.
Store to Be Opened In the New Aud
Block.

AS soon as the fittings are put into
the store, there will be opened in the
Aud block, Emma and Beretania
streets, a new meat market. The mar
ket will be simply q retail shop, which
will draw its supplies from the Metro
politan Meat Company. 1t is the
property of a small hui of practical
men in the business.
DR.. J. II. Raymond, of the kahikinui
ranch of Maui, is in the city on bust
ness connected with the meat trade Of
the ranch. He said that the absorption
of the Rose ranch into the Kahikinui
was complete. and that everything
was running in fine shape. There are
many plans on foot for the extension
of the business, as there Is "A large
demand for the meats taken from the
ranch.
DIR. Raymond is perfecting his plans
for the piping of the water from the
Polipoli spring onto the government
land on the other side of the hills, so
as To reach all the cattle on that cor
ner of the Island. The contract for
the pipe will be let soon, and the work
of building the reservoirs will be push
ed as rapidly as possible.

LAW
Misunderstood

The income tax is coming in in the
same proportion as the property tax,
said Collector Pratt Saturday. I'VE
get something every day. but the taxes
will not begin to come In, in earnest,
for probably another month. The tax
payers who have thousands of dollars
to pay prefer to keep their money and
draw the interest until the day it must
be paid. the 18th of November.
I'm about twenty cases the penalty of
200 per cent has been added. These
were instances where the return seem
ed false upon its face. OF course If the
taxpayer comes in and shows that the
false return was made through isnor-
ance, the penalty will not be inflicted.
In many cases where the return was
not true the penalty was not added, as
lit had been made through a misunder-
standing of the law, and upon the mis-
take being pointed out it was corrected.
The one error which was genera
and which was in fact the biggest fac
tor in the corrections of the returns,
| was that referring to sales of MoV-
! able property of every description in
Schedule a and in Schedule h under
exemptions, Amounts expended in the
purchase or production of movable
property mentioned in Schedule A
| THE law intended that only such de-
auctions should be made of stock as
| was given in the sales of movable prop
| erty in Schedule \. Instead of that
many merchants, especially among the
japanese and Chinese exempted all
merchandise purchased during the year,
whether it had been sold, and listed IN
Schedule \ or not. OF course in such
cases there appeared to be little or nc
profit as the stock still on hand was
deducted from the receipts upon stock
| which had been disposed of, and We
! had no way then to estimate the profits.
When the matter was called to the at
tention Of those making the returns it
was generally corrected. Aside from
that one item, we have had very little
trouble in making up the returns.
| Appeals have been taken in a num-
Der of cases. They should have been in
by October LIST, but | accepted some
after that without prejudice and will
get legal opinion upon the question"

PUT IN NEW FRONT.
Lowers & Cooke Building VIII Have
Series Of improvements.

During the general repairs which are
being made to the Levers & Cooke
building, made necessary by the recent
fire which destroyed the Hall build
ing, the entire front of the structure
will be changed, The walls up to the
height of the first story have been
taken out, and there will be a new
front of plate glass and iron put in
its place. The work is expected to be
complete within the month Among
the other work on the building is the
replacing of the entire third floor, made
necessary by direct damage done to ii
by the fire. The new show window
will give to the building an attractive
place for display of rugs and wall pa
per, in particular The Improvement
is made owing to the fact that it Is
not expected by members of the firm
that they will be able to get into their
new structure within a year
