ALBANY, Jan. 25.-1wo bills impos-
ing IL tax of l per cent upon the capital
stock, surplus and undivided profits of
national state and private banks of this
state were introduced yesterday by AS
semblyman Merton +. Lewis of Monroe.

Some interesting statistics of Vermont
plants are sent from the Vermont ex-
pertinent station. These figures are
taken from the new flora of the state,
published by the Vermont Botanical
club. According to this publication
there are now 1868 species of ferns and
Towering plants known to occur unculti-
waited in Vermont. OF these, 10 species
are trees, including / species of oak, Z
kinds of maple, G poplars, 4 pines and
birches. These are mostly useful; but
there are so species of weeds, some of
which are pernicious and promising
trouble. Out Of the present census of
1863 species, 270 have moved into the
state since the country was settled.
Many of them have come mixed with
agricultural seeds, or have been intro.
duced directly or indirectly by artificial
means. large proportion of these
newcomers are like our American popu
lation, importations from Europe; and
only minority of 60 or less have come
to Vermont from other states or from
Canada. 1t is interesting to notice how the
number of known species has increase
in recent years. When the first list of
Vermont plants was published by Cakes
in 1912, there were 929 species known.
Torrey's list of 1853 gave 1885, and Per-
kins' list of 1883 gave 1860. In each
case some plants were included by mis-
take, so the increase since 1883 is more
than the difference between 1868 and
1860. Most of the additions are of
species which have doubtless been here
all the while but nave only recently been
discovered. A few, however, represent
species which have come in during com
parativ ly recent times. In some ways
plant census furnishes just as much fun
and instruction as Walter Gates enumer-
alton of the people living in Vermont

Verdi was born in the duchy of Parma
in 1914. He studied under La Scala in

first opera. which was very successful.
1t was followed by others, which have
since become famous. Among those best
known are "Giovanna d'Arco," MAC

LA Traviata."
He was created an Italian senator in
1874 and in 1870 made Il commander Of

death was congestion of the brain.

Look out for confidence operators.
They are generally known by Offering to
give you something for nothing. They
appear as commission merchants offering
a few cents more for farm products than
the market will warrant. They offer an
implement better than any other at
half the price of the cheapest. Look out
for them. People are not giving some
thing for nothing. Recently one Of
these men IN Chicago bought a lot of 80
cent watches and polished them up to
look like silver. He then went to a
town in southern Illinois and advertised
that silver watch had been found which
would be returned to the owner for 81
and no questions asked. The next day Il
stream of callers came, each claiming his
watch and paying the 81. The Chicago
man made a nice little profit of 300 per
cent and went back home, knowing that
not one of his would-be swindlers would
make him any trouble.

Reports come from commission men
that potatoes are pretty well sold out In
portions of Ohio, Wisconsin, and Mich
igan; and that in some parts Of Ohio,
Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and
Maine from 30 to so per cent of the crop
is still in the hands of the farmers. Re-
ports from potato growers In New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and
Michigan indicate that from 10 to 80
per cent of the crop has not been sold.
The price reported is from 30 cents in
Michigan to 60 cents in Pennsylvania.

VERDpS DEATH.
Gong Struggle For Life-GeperaI
Mourning For the Grent Comnnser.

MILAN, Jan. 2S.-Giuseppe Verdi, the
composer, died at $50 O'Clock Sunday
morning.
The doctors were astounded at the
extraordinary vitality displayed by Verdi.
Several times a suspension of breath.
ing gave the impression that he had ex-
pired, and a report was cabed abroad
to that effect several hours before the
end actually came.
Although preceded by struggle for
life that lasted two days, Verdis death
when it came was peaceful. He did not
regain consciousness. When he passed
away, he was surrounded by relatives
and intimate friends.
The announcement of his death GRE
ated great emotion. Theaters, pleasure
resorts and many stores were closed.

This Speaks Well For the Bees.

At the Oregon station they forced a
number of peach trees into bloom under
glass last November, and introduced a
colony of bees into the house, first pro-
tecting one tree so that the bees could
not get to it. From that tree all the
fruit dropped when the stones began to
form. From the other not fruit
dropped, and the fruit was so abundant
that it was necessary to thin it out
severely. This ought to suggest to
farmers the wisdom of having few
colonies of bees in their orchards. New

NEW NATIONAL Observation-Disclosures
the organization which presented Aida
at the National Theater last night was
called the Metropolitan English Grand OPP
era Company, and although 1t was said to
he under the management Of Maurice Grau
and Henry w. Savage, it was plainly a
Savage institution. 1t was the castle
Square" organization and was recognized at
once. In some respects it was not as good
as the Castle Square Company which first
made its appearance here several years
ago. The orchestra, for instance, while 1t
was large in numbers, was badly handled,
and generally played without an intelligent
shading or any reference to the singing
upon the stage. 1t would play forte when
there was a tenor or soprano solo as well
as when the full force of the chorus was
on. The only good thing to be said about
the instrumental part of the performance
Is that the trumpets played during the tri-
umphal march on the return of the victori-
Gus Rhadames were in tune with the or
cheStra.
The trade mark so to speak, of Mr.. Saw
age or the Castle Square organization Is
the chorus and this is in every sense great
1t is great in numbers, great In volume of
tone, great In the precision with which Ii
sings, and great in the handsome appear
ance of both its feminine and masculine
| members. The work of the chorus last
night even in the most intricate passages
deserves Only the iitdfttcSt pittfSt. IL Wds
always prompt, its parts were well bal
anced and 1t held the key. which is more
than can be said of some Of the princi-
pals. 1t was the splendidly drilled chorus
| that made the success of the Castle Square
| opera, and 1t is the large and superb Choir
us that forms the basis of whatever sue
| cess has come to the Metropolitan English
| Grand Opera Company.
| OF the cast Mr.. Brozel sang the part
| Rhadames with good dramatic feeling and
| displayed a tenor rObusto of good range
| and pleasing quality. He captured the au.
| dience In his first song, Celeste Aida,
| which he phrased beautifully, and all
through the opera he was satisfactory. his
| tones being full and true, save in one place
| in the third act. when he used the fal.
setto, but even that was employed arts
| tically. 1t was In the duo in this act that
| he reached his most impassioned height and
| was rewarded by the most enthusiastic an.

part. She looked the daughter Of the kine
