One of the anomolies for which no system of mathematics can honestly account is shown in the relative pop uiations and tax assessments of Boston and Chicago. Chicago has in round numbers about three times the popu- lation of Boston. but the tax assess ments of real and personal property in Boston are about three times those of Chicago. The obvious inference is that Boston assesses its property too high, or Chicago too low, and as nobody ever hears of property being assessed above its value 1t is plain that the Chi cago figures are a farce. That city needs some honest officials.

 of the Grand Jury,

Gadsden, July 11.-(Special. )-Thom- as J. Toe, who was arrested last week on a warrant charging him with rape, waived examination before Judge Love- joy and will remain in jail to await the action of the grand jury in Sep tember unless a special session Is called by Judge Disque to investigate this case. A petition has been circu- lated and signed by a large number of people of Attalla, urging the Judge to call a special term of court owing to the gravity of the crime with which Toe Is charged. They urge that the trial be held as soon as possible, there by preventing any violence on the part of the citizens.
 Thomas Toe was proprietor of a res taurant in Attalla. and up to his ar rest was considered a law-abiding cit izen. and was member of the church.

A Sensible View.

Blrmlngham Ledger.
 We ask all these good people outside and inside of Alabama who are so dis tressed at her percentage of illiteracy. to note that she has done pretty well in the way of growth and prosperity during the past ten years. That few States have done so well.
 It is all very well for people outside the State to be continually logging at us about this illiteracy, but it is ex- ceedingly tiresome to hear it continu- ally from Alabama papers.
 Just as long as the old negroes live and just as long as uneducated Con- federate soldiers live, no amount of school money, no army of teachers and no beautiful school houses can make the slightest impression on this illit- eraCY.

They Soon Forget.

Bessemer Workman.
 ' It Is strange how soon some folks forget their early life, for it has been only few short years since the able editor pulled the bell cord over the back of a mule along the cotton row, and this same boy had his pants sup ported by one lone yarn "gallus" with a nail for button, and now he takes the ground that one of the aforesaid supporters stands in the same relation that one blade of pair of scissors is a scissors. One gallews will hold up your pantaloon. but one blade of a pair of scissors will do very little to- wards cutting anything.
 The plural of "gaIlows" is "gallowses" as per the following definition in the dictionary. "One of a pair of braces used for supporting the brooches. In this sense 1t has the plural gallowses. |"

 We regret to hear some persons ex- pressing purpose to vote against the ratification of the Constitution when an opportunity is presented. Why not wait until the work of the Convention is finished before passing Judgment upon it's work. The Convention is be- ing held at great expense to the State and if it does it's work well and to the best interest of the State, it's work should be ratified. If not, then turn it down.

Newport News Strike Ends.

Newport News, Va, July 1.-The strike of the Newport News machipists is at an end. The climax came sud denly tonigh at a meeting when by unanimous consent the men decided to return to work Monday at the old scale. The facts that the machinists could not obtain funds with which to support the idle men and that the ship yard management had demonstrated it's ability to fill the vacant places are re- sponsible for the defeat of the strikers.

The Charleston Post puts it very mildly when it says that "The strik- ing machinists in Charleston owe it to their reputation and will find it to their best interest to assist the authorities in bringing to punishment the men who have displayed violence against the railroad property and the non-union llaborers."

Exciting Contents Promised for Satur-
day Afternoon.
There will be given at the Coliseum track
Saturday afternoon at 4:3O o'clock some
more motor cycle races. Arrangements
have been made with the fast motors that
have been racing on the local track the past
two meets for what Is promised will be the
most thrilling races ever given a six-ap
track. Instead Of two motors racing
against each other. there will be three mot
ors In each race. Those who have excitedly
watched two motors stra1ning for the lead
on the steep banks Of the local track can
Imagine the hair-rafsing spectacle presented
Dy three motors on the same banks. Should
the three motors endeavor to pass on these
banks, one motor must run very near the
top of the steep bank. and consequently
the motor and riders will stand out at right
angles with the track. Three motors have
never raced side by side on a six-lap
track.
The motors will be manned as follows:
McEacherns. Canadian Express" by
McEachern and Thompson: Baltimore
Royal Blue" by Babcock and Sherer;
Blue Flyer" by Marble and Zimmerman
The races will be two-mile, three-mfle
and fve-mile heat. The electric lights on
the turns will be removed for Saturdays
races to make 1t safer for the riders.
Should the conditions be favorable, Archie
McEachern and Thompson will make an ef-
fort to break the worlds record for one
mile on a tandem motor. McEachern's
motor covered a mile in l :21 last Friday
night, which is the worlds record for the
distance. match race between John Hill
and e. L. Wilson, or Clarence Miller Is also
being arranged, five miles behind motors,
for amateur championship of the District.

Some rare tennis. sport was on exhibition
yesterday at the Bachelors courts, on M

for the championship Of the District. The
spectators enjoyed the sport hugely. and
the hand clapping was almost incessant.
The play cut down the list for the finals
rapidly, and with clear weather the card
should be swept clear by Saturday night
The doubles were started yesterday and
were the feature of the afternoons play.
DIR. Glazebrook and ]. c. Davidson. the
champion pair of last year, are in fine form
this fall and some very high-ciass tennis
will have to be played to wrest from them
the chief honors this year.
In the singles yesterday DR.. Glazebrook
and Clarence Wilson had battle royal,
the former finally winning out by two
games. This places the doctor in the semi
finals which will be started this afternoon.
Following is the summary Of yesterdays
games:

Newmarket Stewards Warn Well

The stewards of the Newmarket, England.
Jockey Club yesterday voted to withdraw
the license Of Lester ReifY. the American
Jockey, and to warn him of Newmarket
Heath. This latter penalty Is generally Inn
posed upon welchers
The action of the Jockey Club followed a
hearing of testimony on the accusation
against Reif Of suspicious riding Of William
c. Whitney's De Lacey Friday last, when
that horse was second to Richard Croker 8
Minnie Dee, ridden by ]. Reif, in the race
for the New Barns plate.
Huggins, Mr.. Whitney's trainer, told the
stewards that he had not seen anything
wrong, that he had trained the horse, and
that he had eyed him closely throughout
the race. especially at the, finish Wishard.
Mr. Croker's trainer, gave similar testi-
mony.
Some of the English jockeys and others
intimated their belief that Reiff pulled the
horse.
Following the announcement that Mr..
Whitney will withdraw from the English
turf. it was reported in London yesterday
that Mr.. Croker win leave English racing
alone after this year.
1t is understood that Corrigan's license
VIII not be renewed next year, and that I'M
der the rule recently adopted no more train
ers will be licensed.
1t Is just year since the letter of Lord
Durham accusing Reiff appeared In the
London papers. Reiff then surprised the
public by refraining from bringing an action
against Lord Durham for libel, but the
Jockey Club completely exonerated him.
The general opinion last night was that
Lord Durham and the other stewards Of
the Jockey Club. piqued at the failure Of
the attack, had been watching for an op-
portunlty to make case against Reiff and
that having succeeded they have forced the
hand of the Jockey Club as strongly as pos
Sible against him
