SLIGHTLY AT VARIANCE.

Some time ago Ex Parte pub
lished the following criticism on
the physicians who attended Pres
ident Garfield:
When President Garfield was
shot, and Drs, Bliss. Agnew and
Hamilton were at sea as to the To-
cation of the bullet. DIR Gross, the
world-famous physician, of Phila-
delphia, after getting all the infor-
nation obtainable, believed he
could locate the bullet, have it ex-
tracted and thus save the presi-
dents life Unluckily Gross be-
longed to the Conkling wing of the
party and he was given the stony
stare. So sure was he of the cor
rectness of his position that he
stated his opinion in writing, filed
itwith notary, and after Garheld's
death the bullet was found exactly
MS described by DIR Gross. Let
us hope the life of President Nc
Kinley may not be sacrificed by
any such bunghng.
Some of the local physicians
took umbrage at this slam, and
one of them wrote to DR. Francis
II. Packard, editor of the Ameri-
can journal of American Sciences,
ehciting the following reply,
which is published by request:
My Dear Doctor Please pardon
my delay in answering your letter,
but | wished to ascertain the facts
as regarded any connection that
Or. Gross might have had with
the case of President Garfield.
have in my possession care
fully kept newspaper scrap-book
containing the particulars OF
President Garheld's case from be-
ginning to end with special refer
ence to its medical features; like
wise collection of the illustrated
magazines bearing upon the same
subject and in none of them can |
find the least reference to Profess
sor Gross in any relation to the
president,
DR.. Gross for long time in
1881 suffered from neurltis which
prevented his operating upon any
cases whatsoever, and one of his
friends informs me that he thinks
that it was so we'll known fact
that Dr. Gross was unable to ope-
rate at the time of the presidents

would have been called in for that
purpose
Hoping this will satisfy your in
quires. | am yours very sincerely

1t is possible that in after years
the laity will oriticise the physi-
clans who attended President Nc
Kinley And yet the entire medi-
cal world agrees that everything
possible was done to save the pres
ident's life. There is no adverse
criticism from even the least of
them

THE WEEK IN REALTY.

The real estate market last week vigorous,
and some interesting sales reported. There
appears TO be an unprecedented demand for private
dwelling houses and apartments in high class ele-
vator apartment houses. The unusual call for prl-
vate dwelling houses was shown early last week by
the sale of a house which has been vacant for
time because the owner refused TO sell 1t unless he
received his asking price. He received four five
offers in the beginning of the week. and sold for
considerable advance above his first asking price.
AT most OF the leading real estate Offices it
said that the clerks kept constantly busy from
the time the offices opened until they closed.
Great activity is also visible in the offices which
specially deal in large business properties and 1t
was announced several times in the course of the
week that several large deals affecting downtown
business parcels would soon be closed.
Some people have an idea that the vigorous con-
dtion of the market will peter out in a few years"
said a we'll known real estate operator last week.
and these people have decided TO buy for sew
eral years unless they unusual bargain.
These people making serious mistake, I firmly
believe. This is the time to buy. There is false
boom and within the next two years real estate
will be much higher for desirable properties
than to-day. Now is the time to buy not only
dwelling houses. but all kinds Of desirable proper
ties. / must call those people who have decided
not to buy until two years have elapsed not only

BANK TAXES UNPAID.
LARGE SUM OWING TO THE STATE RE-
MAINS UNSETTLED

Albany. Sept. o CSpeciaD.-With only one day
sn which 10 make return OF taxes due to the
State under the new law taxing the surplus and
undivided earnings OF savings banks only S26S 754
out total Of $4,000 has been paid in. This si4O
600 difference IS due from twenty-five of the saw
tngs banks. ninetysIx having paid their taxes and
ten being exempt from taxation because they had
no taxable surplus undivided earnings at the
mar valuation which IS made the basis Of tax under
the new law. One hundred and nine of the l28
hanks OF the State own real estate. These 100
banks IN their returns TO the State Banking De
partment On January !. 1901 reported the value of
their real estate at sl5670.SS. The reports which
have been fled with the Controllers Office July
! six months later. show only $l4265 1885, being
net decrease in the valuation OF the real estate Of
these banks amounting to 4S42. notwithstand-
ng fact that real estate in value he's been
ACQUIRED since JaIp5ary than has been disposed OF
by the hanks When it is recalled that it is the
policy Of savings banks generally annually to
charge a percentage, and in many cases large
percentage. OF the cost Of their banking houses
and lots. II becomes manifest that even upon the
basis of the January reports the real estate of
these banks was much more than the amount re-
ported and when II is understood that the decrease
IN many cases represents 30 per cent and even 65
per cent OF the price of property acquired IN
cities during the ten years last there to be
justification for the appraisal placed upon this real
estate by the Controllers department, which
amounts TO S1S1S7. .050
Il must not be understood that all OF the savings
banks have availed themselves of the opportunity
20 reduce the value Of their real estate. there
has been absolutely contention between the
banks and the Controllers office except IN twenty
seven cases.
Taxes so far paid have in nearly every case been
paid under protest. and II is evidently the nten-
tion Of the banks TO ask exemption from taxation
not only upon interest accrued. but not yet
crued. and also upon the added valuations placed
BY the Controller upon the real estate of the banks
Notwithstanding the fact that they have IN a ma
5oTty Of cases, put in a liability OF the bank
dividends declared, but not payable until July l.
which would amount 10 much more than the ac-
cTued interest.
AL taxes not paid on or before September 80 will
be subject TO per cent interest charge and !
per cent additional for each month the tax remains
unpaid.
great share Of the time of the corporation tax
department of the Controllers office has been spent
in the last six weeks in trying to adjust taxes Of
savings banks and the best evidence that he has
thus far administered the law along the lines in
tended by the legislature is the fact that the
amount OF taxes assessed against the savings
banks or the State is within s. 600 of the amount
estimated as the probable receipts from the bill
when the matter under consideration before
the legislative tax committees.
