HAMLEr's CASTLE.
ssnethias About the Hone of tho
Famous Dane At ElsinoPe,
Denmark.

Jacob A. Riis, the New York pow
erty expert, lived as a child in the
neighborhood of the castle of Kron-
borg. Elsinore, Denmark. He has re-
visited the place in recent years, and
his early and later "reminiscences are
embodied in an article called Ham
let's Castle" which appeared in the
Century.
In 1878, as a first step toward maxi
ing it At for king to live in. Fred
erik II. "swept 1t clean of all hurt
full people and animals, meaning, by
the latter, vagrant swine and dogs.
How his broom worked on the 'peo-
pie" is instanced by the treatment
of outcast women under the edict.
They were to be whipped and brand
ed by the headsman, and turned out.
If they came back, both their ears
were to be cut off. If after that they
were again found within the gates Of
the city, the order was to stuff them
into sacks and throw them into the
sound. Four years of this sort of
thing was supposed to have cleared
the ground, and the erection was be-
gun of Kronborg-the Grown castle"
That was the name, said the king,
and for miscalling IL "Flounder" or
Hook" any man was to pay him the
value of one fat steer. Long before
its gray walls had risen to half their
height the new name stuck, and when
It was finished, in 1855, the steer rev.
enue had ceased to be of account.
OF the revelries that attended the
opening of the castle it may well be
that the echoes ring yet in Hamlet's
description of this heavy-headed
revel," which to his mind is more
honour'd in the breach than the OBJ
servance." For in that year there
played at Elsinore troupe of stroll
ing English actors, which for all we
know with certainty to the contrary.
may have included young William
Shakespeare himself. come fresh from
poaching upon Sir Thomas Lucy's pre-
serves to seek his fortune among
the playhouscs in London. The old
town records contain two references
to them. One is mere entry of the
expenditure of four shilling for the
repair of the board fence between
the house of Lauritz. town clerk. the
town hall and yard. which the people
broke down the time the English
played in the yard" That was in 1855,
and may have been on the occasion
of the opening festivities. The
troupe came back later and stayed
some time. Little did the clerk who
entered into the municipal accounts
the cost of it's play and keep dream
that he was making notsble con-
tribution to the history Of the great
est of all tragedies.

SNOW AND WATER SUPPLY.
ssAs Popular Hstisns Exploded ~
Recent Experiments of the
weather DureAu,

Some very interesting conclusions
have been published by the experts
of the United States weather bureau,
who have for several years been
studying the effect of winter snow
fall on the water supply of the sue
ceeding summer. The observations
have been confined to the arid regions
of the west, more particularly Colo
RADIO and Idaho, where the rivers and
streams derive their principal water
supply from the melting of the snow
on the mountains. The generally
prevalent belief that winter of
heavy snowfall is succeeded by
swollen streams in spring and sum-
mer is not necessarily correct. It IL
not the quantity Of snow that falls
during the winter SO much as the con-
dition of the soil when wintcr sets in,
the quality of the snow and the time
when It falls that determine whether
streams shall continue full late In the
season and furnish abundance Of wa
ter for irrigating canals
An unusually heavy snowfall in
March will certainly be followed by
drought in late spring and summer
unless this snow is preceded by .
snowfall in the early winter. It Is
the snow that falls in November and
December and thus becomes packed
hard during the winter and melts
slowly in the spring and summer that
keeps water in the streams till sum-
mer II nearly over. The snow that
falls in March and February has no
time to become packed and hardened.
The first warm breath of spring melts
it with q rush, the streams overflow
their banks. freshets flood the coun-
try for . few days; then gradually
the streams subaide and . drought
ensues.

A Springfield, ILL.,. dispatch OF Oct.
n. says: The supreme court Of Illinois
today affirmed the Judgment Of the
circuit court Of Sansssnsa county y
what 1s knuwnss t6sss setntss1b ~ S6assas'
tax case. This. in effect, awards writ
Of mandamns against the state board Of
equalization to compel 1t to assess the
capital stock, including franchises, Of 3
Chicago corporations, tho fair cash
volue OF whose capital stock. including
franchises. over and above the value of
their tangible property. is alleged to
aggregate S2ss, 100000. [iere follows
list of the big corporations who have
heretofore lodged their taxes.
This case was instituted by the states
attorney of Sangamon county at the in
stance Of the Chicago Teachers Fedora
ton. 1t was for writ Of mandamus
to compel the state board Of equalization
to assess the foregoing corporations,
which 1t was alleged had hitherto es-
capped taxation by the board.
HISTORY OF CASE.
CHICAGO, Oct. A.-The tax decision
given to-day by the Illinois supreme
court relates to the % local corporations
ENJOYING municipal franchises, includ-
lug traction companies. gas companies
and electric companies, whose total
capital stock was estimated to be $685.
OCO, 600, all of which had escaped taxa
tion previously, and Was likely to be
omitted again by the state board. which
adjourned last December without as
sessiny this vast amount of property.
The trial of the case was begun before
Judge Thompson. In Springfield, March
%, and the decision was handed down
May 2, commanding the board TO roas-
semble June Is. and assess these cor.
porations in accordance with the rules
of the board in regard to the assessment
Of capital stock. But the board not
only neglected to make the assessment.
but repealed the rules of the board on
the subject. which had been in force for
80 years, and had been sustained by the
United States supreme court as the only
fair and legal plan Of assessment.
What WIS considered the weak point
in the teachers case was that the man
damus was asked while the board was
still in ST ssion and while it was protest
lug that it meant to do the very thing
which the mandamns required. The
teachers contention was that the board
was "a continuing body and that 1t had
refused for years to make these assess-
ments, and that IL a mandamus could
not issue until after the board had ad-
jourued. it might as well never be issued
at all, and there was absolutely no way

Something - Public Should

Know.
4 One very important circumstance with
relation to this fali's elections has been
entirely overlooked by the press of the
state, and that is the possible effect
which Senator Taylor's two bills provid
ing for biennial, elections may have
upon the terms of office OF those who
Will will he elected at the election held
the 5.h of this month. During the last
legislature, in response to to strong
public sentiment, Senator Taylor II
Glenwood, introduced two bills prOvid-
ing for constitutional amendments
under which biennial elections would
hereafter be held in this state. The
purpose cf the measure was to consoIi-
date all county and district elections
into one SO that the public would be
given breathing spell from politics
and at the same time saved about a
quarter of a million dollars in useless
expense.
The law does not effect city elections.
but it groups all the other elections
under one head. and once the battle is
fought to a finish there is no appeal
from it for two years While these two
proposed amendments to the constitn
ton cannot be voted upon until the
regular election next year, the bills
under which the people are given a
chance to vote on them provide that in
the event OF the adoption of the coEst-
tutionsl lamendments there will not only
be no more county or district elections
In odd years, but all the county officers
elected this year will serve three Instead
of two years, and the district attorneys
elected last year will serve four instead
of three years. In addition to this, If
the next legislature 30 enacts, oil these
officers will be paid salaries and allowed
no fees. All of this will add decidedly
new clement of interest to the present
contest, fer 1t is practically certain that
those who are elected this year will
serve three year term, as the senti-
ment In favor Of the constitutional
amendments proposed by Ser ator Tav-
lor's bill ia so strong there is scarcel,
