Brooklyn Inventor Patents a Bicycle

formed on the back of the central
portion of the bar. This ratchet turns
the upright rod over the backbone

viously, when the rider turns the
bars to the right, the front wheel is
turned also to the right. Although
the inventor does not say so in the
patent specification, this should be
theoretically q good machine for rid
ing "hands off," as the steering can
be accomplished by slightly turning
the body while resting the back

The idea of putting a storage bait

attractive, but unfortunately it is i'm

Its poles are connected to a small

No Danger.

Two brothers, grown men now. are
fond of sitting down and comparing
past experiences. One particularly
happy recollection is this:
There was an old coffee mill in the
attic which. as boys, they greatly
desired to possess. One of them,
Tom by name, sought his mother
and begged her to give it to him.
'I don't believe 1 can, ToE," said
she, regretfully. 81 should like to-,
but I'm afraid 1 can't
"But why. mother?" urged Tom.
"You don't use it,
mo, we don't use it,
"Then why won't you give it to
us?"
'wen, DEAR" said the mother,
gently, I'm afraid you and Ben will
get to quarreling over it"
''Oh, no, we shan't!'' cried Tom,
eagerly. ''You needn't be a bit
afraid of that. mother. I won't let
Ben touch it!"-Youth's Companion.

Albany, n. Y, Oct. 24.-Leon F. Czol-
gosz, the murderer of President Mckinley,
will be electrocuted at a. M. on Tues
day, October 29th at Auburn prison.
Warden Mead has selected Tuesday so
that final arrangements may be made on
Monday In doing this he is following the
general custom in the State prisons rel
ative to electrocutions. 1t does away
with the necessity of making final ar
rangements on Sunday.
The sentence of the court was that the
execution of Czolgosz should take place
during the week commencing october 2Sth,
leaving to the warden of the prison full
power to select the day of the week in
which to carry out the mandates of the
law. This latitude is given the warden
to secure secrecy as to the time of eXccu-
tion. and to guard against delay from
acNident, such as, in 1893 caused delay
of an hour in an execution after the con-
demned man had been taken into the
death house at Auburn prison.

CHICAGO TEACHERS TAX CASE
Board of Equalization Ordered to Assess Capt.
tai Stock of Corporations
CBy the Associated Press.) }

Springfield, H., Oct. 24.--1he Supreme
Court this morning affirmed the judg
ment of the Circuit Court of Sangamon
county in what is known as the Chicago
Teachers Tax Case. This, in effect
awards a writ of mandamus against
the State Board Of Equalization to COM
pei it to assess the capital stock includ-
ing franchises of twenty Chicago cor
porations, the fair cash value of whose
capital stock including franchises over
and above the value of their tangible
property is alleged to aggregate $685.

This case was instituted by the State S
attorney of Sangamon county at the
instance of the Chicago Teachers FEEDER
alton. 1t was for a writ of mandamus
to compel the State Board of EquaIiza-
which, it was alleged, have hitherto
escaped taxation by the board. The
court holds that the board in assessing
corporations does not act as a board of
review, but as an original assessor and
that the performance of it's duty to as
sess the fair cash value of capital stock
including franchises over and above the
value of tangible property may be en-
forced by mandamus. Instead of max
ing a proper assessment the court saws
that the board arbitrarily and wilfully
failed to follow proper and lone, es-
tabliShed rule in force in this State for
making such assessments, by refusing
to take into consideration. in making
such assessments the bonded indebted
ness of said CORPORATIONS They also
disregarded all other rules for the max
ing of such assessments in force at the
time of the filing of this petition and
for the purpose of eVading their duty
sought to pass new rules for their gov
ernment in making land valuations and
assessments and refused to consider the
information then before them, furnish
ed by the assessors, as provided by
statute aud assessed the capital stock
and franchises of said corporation at
nominal sum instead of at the fair cash
value thereof.
The board is ordered to convene
forthwith at Springfield and assess the
capital stock, Including the franchises
in the manner provided by law.

BRIEF IN THE GAYNOR CASES.
Rose, Counsel For Defendants, Denies He is
Seeking to Delay Trial.
(By the Associated Press. }

Washington, Oct. PA brief was filed
in the Supreme Court today in the So
called Gaynor cases, upon the motion
made by Solicitor General Richards to
advance these cases. The plaintiffs in
error or appellants are Benjamin ID.
Green, John F. Gaynor, and Edward H.
Gaynor, the defendant named being Will
liam Hinkel, United States Marshal for
the Southern district of New York. The
plaintiffs are virtually in custody of the
marshal though on bail pending the pro-
ceedings in the Supreme Court. The
Solicitor General in urging that the case
be advanced for hearing recited the va
rious steps taken to bring the case to
trial He referred to the alleged con-
nection of Captain Oberlin M. Carter, with
the Gaynors in the contracts in Georgia
in which the Government had been de-
frauded, to the indictment of the defend
ants and the order made by Judge Brown
for their removal to Georgia for trial.
from which order the defendants took an
appeal to the Supreme Court. The Solicit
tor General charged delay on the part
of the defendant.
In tho brief filed by Abraham j. Rose
today it is denied that the defendants
are seeking to delay trial and it is as
serted that the delay has been caused
by the Government in its efforts to OBJ
tain an abduction through forms OF law
Mr. Rose also says that it is unfair
to put before the court statements as
10 the conviction of Carter as such facts
have no bearing on the case, and especial
ly as the legality of that conviction is
raised on a case already pending in the
court
The brief says:
Tho dcfcraents now are and always
have been ready to be tried before any
impartial. unprejudiced court on any valid
legal Indictment, but they have objected
and will object to being sent for trial
before court that they believe will not
give them a fair trial. and be there tried
on an illeged indictment found by a
possibly packed, certainly picked, lllegal
grand jury
In conclusion ample time to prepare
the appeal is asked but objection is moi
made to advancing hearing of the appeal
