CAUSES SURPRISE.
Connecticut Man Declares His Assem-
ment Is Much Too Low.

ment Is Much Too Low.
Robert M. Bruce, one of the mil.
lionaires of CT eenwich, Conn, former
cotton broker and friend Of E. G,
Benedict, has caused surprise by ap-
pearing before the board Of assessors
of the town and asking them to have
his assessment raised so per cent, says
the New York Sun. He said that he
had never paid any attention to the
making ont of his list of taxable prop
erty, leaving it with the assessors. He
had looked The matter up recently and
had decided that he was not paying ali
that he sho!.d into the town treasury
and he ask ed for the raise. The asses
sors promised to comply with his
wishes and it Is understood that they
will raise the taxes OF all other mil
lionaires. there to some extent Mr..
Bruce's example is the subject OF much
comment. For many years past Green
Rich has raised 100000 by taxation,
and has spent $4,000 more than 1t
raised. The debt has rolled up to
nearly ssCo 600. The town appointed
an investigating committee and the
members reported that more money
must be rai"cd by taS.tIcn.' Fixing up
the taxes last fall was It over until
next spring. The:&ssess:,rs figured up
The amount cs taxable property and an
increase OF he tax rate seemed prob
able. Persons who have locked UP the
matter say that there appears to De
one law for the poor man and another
for the rich man. The law says that
each property owner must put IN
true list of the real value of all prop
erty real and personal, but the general
rule among persons Of moderate mems
has been to pay on co per cent Of abe
value. The millionaires in some in.
stances have not paid Oh 10 per cent OF
The property.

POLICE COURT
WILL BE BUSY
t.uau Ends IN Il Fight and
Several Arrests
Follow

The list of nalefactors who will APP
pear at Judge Wilcox's tribunal this
morning is a lengthy one, and the charge
sheet is nicely spiced with variety.
A. j. Morris and G. Radin will answer
to a charge of assault and battery on
one Fred. Rochan. The quarrel was the
fruit of a Kewalo luau given at Ro-
chan's house. Rochan had some trouble
with his wife. whereupon Morris and
Radin, who were guests at the luau, in
terposed in the womans behalf A row
followed in which Rochan sustained a
broken nose.
When the police arrived on the scene
Rochan was holding the other two men
at bay with a club and was accordingly
arrested on general principles.
| The following day Rochan came to the
conclusion that he had been harshly
dealt with, and had his two erstwhile
guests arrested on charge of assault
and battery.
All Kim, Look Ngo and All Chuch were
arrested by George Sea for completely In
running a che ia bank.
| Denny will, it is anticipated, deny that
| he left certain animal, to wit, horse,
united in a public street.
Twelve DRINKS have applied for re-
served seats in the alcoholic reservation.
Six natives, three haoles, two Portu-
guese and one Jap made UP the collec-
ton.
| Okakichi is in trouble for having cary-
ed with jack-knife All Tim, with whom
he had had some dispute during the
progress of a game of chance.
| Makuku found himself in the strong
clutches Of the law, of which he posed
as valiant representative. Pinning the
bottom of can of salmon on the lapel
of his coat, he entered Pake store on
lLiliha street and told the proprietor that
he was Food Commissioner Shorey. Then
he started on a tour of inspection OF the
lsardines, cakes, cigars. etc, not neg
lecting to secure a few of each COM
modify for home analysis. He had laid
in weeks supply when the patrol wag-
ION arrived.
/ J. Clark, H. Klemm and A. Mamon
enjoyed a free ride in the official coach
for having made loud and disturbing
noises by night.
! All Young is being held for investiga-
ton He went into a Japanese barber
shop and ordered his hair cut. Another
Chinaman who was in the shop at the
time warned the Jap to leave his pat
ron's queue where it was.
Finding that his orders were not be-
ing attended to, All Young seized a pair
of shears and cut his pigtafl off himself
An officer heard OF 1t and, thinking tna'
a Chinaman who would do such thing
must be insane, hauled him in.
At the station All Young said that he
cut his hair because he was king-the
king OF America. He and the queen, he
!, said were going to leave for the coast
. in a day or so. Turkey Melanphy, he
promised, should be given the post OF
Commissary General of the Army, ano
the various other prison officials from
High Sheriff Brown down to Trusty
Jack, were to be similarly remembered.

THE HAIR BRUSH.

Breeds Dandruff. Which Causes Falling
Hair and Finally Badness.
Prof. Unna, Hamburg. Germany,
European authority on skin diseases.
says that dandruff is as contagious as
any other malevolent disease and that
one common source of the spread of
dandruff is the use Of the same hair
brush by different persons. The way
to avoid catching dandruff or any other
disease from another's brush is to in
sist on the use of Newbro's Herpicide.
It not only kills the dandruff germ, but
it is also an antiseptic that will prevent
the catching of any disease whatever
through contagion of another's brush.
