BOY or SIXTEEN
EIoped With Ills Aunt, Taking
Tier Young Child Along.

Boston, Feb 1o-Mrs Mary
Meyers, aged 80 years, and her
nephew, Solomon Jacobs, 10 years
of age, were arrested in West
Point house this morning, where
they we're living as man and wife.
Mrs. Meyers husband, Henry,
came on from Williamsburg. N. Y.
He stated that they eloped last
week, and also took $500 of his
savings and his four-year-old child,
leaving two small children to his
care. Neither was penitent, and
the enraged husband, falling to re-
cover bis money, ordered that they
be prosecuted, and they were sent
to Jail.

FRANCHISE TAXES.
Railroads hit Hard With Heavy
Back Taxes.
Statement Being Prepared in the
Auditors Office Giving
Details.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb, 2O.-Tbe
state board of assessment and valu-
alton on Saturday last, on the mo
ton to have the franchise valuation
of railroads for the years lS9b-l9VO
inclusive certified to the various
counties, municipalities and school
districts, decided in favor OF the
county attorneys. a careful calcu-
lation in the auditor office has dis
closed that the aggregate amount
of the franchise to be thus certified
will be the sum of $50, 408, 1874
From the best information obtain
able it seems that the rate of taxa
ton combined for counties, municip-
alities and school districts is at
least 81. 10 on each one hundred
dollars worth of property, at which
rate the total amount of money TO
be expended by the railroads to the
various counties, cities and school
districts will be the enormous sum
of 1920, 1902 The appended list
shows the amount OF franchise that
each railroad will have certified
out unless interfered with by the
courts. This, coming in the nature
of back taxes, in addition to cur
rent taxes paid by each railroad to
the state on its tangible and fran
chise property. makes very heavy
burd-r IL railroads to bear.

winters are a horror. The conditions are
reversed, and there is very little daylight,
A pail of gloom enveiops everything The
storm king wraps his Icy arm around the
earth, and life is a dreary, indoor routine
But the ownership of the smallest claim is
sufficient incentive to inspire the heart of
the inhabitant of Dawson to endure the
hardships of this long and dreary winter
II is glorious to tell OF the great fortunes
that have been taken from this wonderful
country. But the fact must not be over
looked that a price has been paid for them.
The streams and mountain Businesses yield
reluctantly the treasures they have guadded
SO long. Measured by the value of human
life and suffering spent in obtaining them
they have cost all they are worth. The
early trail to the Yukon was the bloodiest
ever broken in the cause of peaceful con-
quest. Men toied and struggled and died
Beasts of burden were overloaded with
plunder and provisions and driven by mer-
CHESS masters until they dropped in their
tracks For every man that came out with
a stake" a thousand were left behind bur-
rowing in the mountain side like ants,
Thrifty little Dawson is tribute to the
grit of the white race but she has known
more heartache and disappointment than
words can tell. The clerk and the laborer
and the prospector will each tell you In
confidence they are going to strike 1t
rich" They will explain how their money
gave out before they struck anything, and
how they are working now for enough to
try again. They have enlisted for the war
and every one of them considers fortune
just ahead Of him. For many OF these the
loved ones at home will wait in vain

Extremes of Weather.
There are few localities in the world
with an equal range of temperature. 1t is
very cold during eight months of the year
and warm during the other four. During
each season the temperature ranges from
so degrees below zero TO 100 degrees above.
There is very little humidity, so that the
extremes of heat and cold can be endured.
The death rate during 1900 was five out of

and that one was of typhoid fever caused
by drinking the river water before the
water system was built One of the great
problems Of water supply in Dawson has
been to devise some plan by which the
pipes and their outlets could be kept open
during the winter months, and the COM
pany believes IL has a plan that will fill all
the requirements. This consists of COM
biuatiou of water pipes and electrical ap-
pliances. The pipes being connected and
made of iron. will carry the current as well
as a wire, and 1t is said that a current ap-
piled to the main where 1t connects with
the pumping plant will prevent the freez-
ing of water throughout the entire system,
even in the coolest weather. Up to the
present time the only manner of keeping
the pipes open has been to maintain con-
slant pressure upon them, and this plan has
not been altogether successful. The system

A Way They've Got in Spain.
From Tit Bits.


An Isle of Wight divine went on a yacht
ing. cruise to the Mediterranean with a
friend Of his, who hated putting into ports
on the way to his destination. However, af-
ter a great deal of persuasion from the
canon, who particularly wanted to get his
letters. the yacht was put into Barcelona.
The canon at once went to the post office
and demanded his letters.
I'VE cannot give them up TIL you are
identified" was the answer.
But l am Canon P, and well known in
England, and am on board Captain H's
yacht replied the canon.
you must be identified by the CAPTAIN
of the yacht" answered the post office Off
cial.
There was nothing for it but to go off to
the yacht and bring back the skipper, who
satisfactorily identified the canon
Now you must come with me to the Brit
ish consul and make declaration" said
the official
They found the consul was away from
home and would not be back till the fol-
lowing night, so the canon had to go back
to the yacht and wait, much to the disgust
of his impatient friend.
The next evening he made the necessary
declaration and then got back to the post
office where he demanded his letters, and
was told calmly that there We're none.

Great shoemakers.
From Success.

Carlyle said that one of the most remark
able incidents in history was that of the
making of George Fox's suit of leather.
He made it himself. This man, the first of
the Friends, and by trade IA shoemaker
was one to whom the divine ideal of the
universe seemed to be manifested Fox
made shoes until he became so interested
in the books he had studied that he could
not hold himself in check. He had to
preach. He had no clothes fit to wear, so
made himself leather suit that would
withstand years of wear. Carlyle wrote:
Let some Angelo or Rosa picture George
Fox on that morning when he spread out
his cutting board for the last time, and cut
cowhides by unwonted patterns, and stitch
ed them together into one continuous all
including case, the farewell service Of his

Roger Sherman had more common sense

other eminent man. when / come in

said Fisher Ames, Il ask how Sherman
voted He always votes right" Sherman
was one of the signers of the Declaration
of Independence. He was shoemaker I'M
til he was twenty-one years old. People
used to point out where he sat, where he
worked and studied and where he could set
his book so that he could glance at it in
the intervals of the work of the hammer
and the awl. OF his connection with the
gentle craft he was never ashamed. He
declared in Congress against certain con-
tract for shoes. '"rhe charges are exorbi-
tant," he said; which fact he proved by
specifying the cost of the leather and other
materials, and of the work. The minute
ness with which this was done excited sur
prise, and then he said to the committee:
II am by trade shoemaker" Yes. a pa
triot and shoemaker he was; and, In both
capacities he was pre-eminently for COM

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
DJOKJAKARTA, Java.
I am taking a trip through a land Of the
Arabian Nights. / am in the native states
of Java, and the scenes about me are
stranger than those of the days of Haroun
al Raschid in Cairo and Bagdad. Princes
and mobiles in gorgeous costumes strut
through the streets with their wo-
man servants and slaves following
them. Some go about under huge UNI
brellas of gold, silver and cloth of bright
colors. The common people squat down on
the ground as they pass and look up in
reverence. This city is the capital of one
of the native states, and it has a sultan,
who has a great palace city within it.
The palace city has white walls twenty feet
high all around it. 1t contains magnificent
buildings, the homes of the princes and the
poorer houses of the mobiles of the court.
1t contains an enormous harcm. 1t has a
menagerie of tigers, lions and other wild
animals, as well as state elephants which
go about in his majesty's professions.
There are moer than ten thousand people
connected with the court of this Javanese
monarch and he has soldiers. slaves and
treasures galore. He maintains the same
state now that his ancestors had hundreds
OIL years ago, Tor though the Dutcn rule
his province, they do so solely through him,
making the people believe that they are
obeyng the sultan. 1t is the same with the
great state adjoining, that of Soerilarta,
where the Sultan of Solo lives, of whom L
shall write later on.
In the past these sultans ruled the
whole island, and they are still looked
up to by the natives. The Dutch
appreciate their power, and keep the
hand of iron concealed in the velvet glove
with which they handle them. Right in
front of the palace Enclosure there is a bar
racks filled with Dutch soldiers. and about
the whole is a moat with drawbridgeS
which can be lowered or raised. The pal
ace is fortified, and there are cannon on
the walls, nominally TO protect the sultan,
but so arranged that they could be easily
turned on his palace and shatter his i'm
perial city to pieces.
A Visit. to the Sultan.
The Dutch resident governor has the
same standing the sultan. He sits be-
side him on public occasions and is on a
level with him. The sultan sends word
to the resident every morning asking how
he has rested and the resident replies in
turn. When the sultan goes out in state he
has gorgeous gold umbrellas above him,
held by his servants. and when the resi-
dent calls on the sultan it is in a coach
with four horses with similar umbrellas
held over him.
Through my letters from the governor
general of the Dutch East Indies l was
invited by the resident to attend a great
function at the palace of the sultan. 1t
