TAXATION IN NEW Ye,ItIz,

a New York correspondent says that
Governor odeliss policy is clearly de-
fined. He is determined to reduce State
taxation by reducing the cost Of admin
istering the government
Governor o6e!l recognizes the fact
that when the city OF New York extortss
more than half the income of a certain
class of Taxpayers the time for reform
or as we put it the other day, ..readjust
ment. has come. There is demand
for cheap money and the interest rate
has been coming down. during the pas,
several years. Gilt-edge securities pay a
very low rate of interest and the man
who invests his money in city realty, ar
ter paying taxes and insurance and re-
pairs, receives a very small rate of in
come from such investments. But taxa
ton has been increasing right along and
in some cases the government gets the
lions share of the receipts. We say that
this sort Of thing cannot go on indefinite
~. Government expenses must be re-
duced and there must be such an equali
cation as shall make the burden fall
more equitably upon all classes of tax
payerS

an old Montana gambler. that there is
no town in the country where you can get
as high a Limit in buoting the tiger as
you can right here in this little spot in
the mountains. The Legislature meets
here next week, and that may be the cause
OF the abnormal raise. but, no matter
what the cause is, hardly expect to see
any one kicking because he can't bet all

There is a faro game right here in Hele-
ma with u $1,000 limit on singles, and in
all my career I've seen no man hofler for
bigger limit. We've run along for
years with u limit varying from $3.50 to
s1G0 on cases. and seemed to satisfy the
demand. with occasional exceptions. but I
understand there is to be an unprecedent-
eddy heavy gnme this winter. and after
a consultation we have decided to place
the limit at s1.0O on each of the tifty-two
cards in the deck. and imagine TINT viii

And the raise OF the limit from s10O to
sl,0H0 Is not based wholly ON sentiment,
either. During the last session of the
Legislature we had a private game for
young man with a $500 limit right after
the grand jury's investigation OF the

hours he lost S1o.Gec. or about 5000 an

PER ONAL NOTES

Rev. Garter Helm Jones, of Louisville,
said in his Sunday-night sermon that he
had felt the party lash for the last time.
He had always been party man, but
since observing recent elections and the
condition of things in his city, he was
determined to vote for the men he
thought the best, regardless of party.
said: Give me one man like De Wet and
I will send home one-thrd of the army
And De Wet is quoted as having spoken
as follows: Il will give Lord Roberts
three years to catch me. I will give
Kitchener three months and Lord Meth
uen all his life."

coal. steel and railroad deals; to say that
a college was .Rockefelleredt would con-
vey not quite the meaning of endowed,
but something like 1t; while to say that
q library was "Carnegted' would convey
a similar idea Other verbs suggested by
the World are ITO Nation as in the case
of saloons; to "Howellize" as in the case
of literature, and to ..Hannarate' as in
the case of politics. The Savannah News
thinks that there is, however. one verb
which the World seems to have over
looked 1t Is to "Pulitzerize." as in the
case at present of a considerable part Of
the New York newspaper press.
The Philadelphia. Medical Journal says
that long and careful investigation Of
malaria in the city of Buffalo shows that
the city is practically free from that
disease. During the investigation the
doctors managed to catch only 374 mos
quitoes in six months. Ali Of these were
of the genus culex, and not a single
specimen Of the Misunderstanding anopheles
was found. Moreover, all but seventeen
Of the specimens were females, and as
females were reported to be real blood
suckers, the observations were not lack
ing in appropriate material.
In not single instance was plasmo-.
dunn found in the blood Of any persons
examined in private or public practice,
and those cases that have been observed
in the past have apparently been imported
from other places.
Attention is directed to this investiga
ton because of the wonderful interest
felt everywhere now in investigating ma
iarial and yellow fevers and in fastening
the guilt Of spreading these diseases upon
the mosquitoes.

A Great Attraction.

The latest craze about town is the ne"
lookup. Since its completion 1T has
hardly been unoccupied for half an hour.
Almost steady stream OF humanity mas
poured into the door of the Rouss City
Hall, everyone anxious to take Il look
into what has been prepared Tor law

stands before the bars or in the sweat
box itself that does not ask, HAS any
one been locked up yet? I wonder who
will be the first one to get in.
AS a matter of fact. there are two
rooms separated by an iron petition and
fitted with doors made OF cross-bars
about an inch and a half wide. with
about the same distance OF space be-
tween them. The patent locks on the
doors are great convenience, 1t being
only necessary to close the door and
drop a bar to securely fasten them. Inc
rooms have cement floors. and it is I'M

George Washington Forever.


Stern, ruthless, Time is none too kind
To hist'ry's precious pages.
Too soon they fade and pale behind
The shadows OF the ages.
True tales that should be often told,
Round which brave heroes cluster,
Too soon grow threudbare, worn, and old
And lose their wonted lustre.
Lives Of great men, that once We're themes
For stirring song and story,
Soon take their flight, like midnight
dreams,
They and their erstwhile glory.
And signal deeds of peace and war,
That once were loudly lauded,
Fall victims to Times changeless law,
Forgotten-save recorded.
Grand moIrum ents that men do raise,
AS measures to remind them
OF trying, tho illustrious, days
That swiftly pass behind them
Tho made of adarnant. must fall
They cannot hold together;
Two tyrant forces wreck them all
The monsters, Wind and Weather.
And by iconoclastic hands
They will be rudely shattered,
And DER the brendth of distant lands
THEM splintered remnants scattered.
Such is the fate of earthly things,
And such the fate Oh rnortals,
To mount upon oblivions wings
And pass within its portals;
But there is one illustrious name,
\ name both loved ard cherished
That will adorn the pnge of fame
Till hist'ry shall have persisted.
And "nan will come and men will CO.
III will
But. while it lasts, the world will know
George Washington forever!

CURRENT TOPICS.

A Mississippi lawyer has presented
novel argument for the communication OF
the death sentence OF q negro to life
imprisonment. Figuring from the life eN-
pcctancy of the prisoner and his annual
value as farm hand on the State farm,
this legal luminary shows that it would
be sheer extravaganza to hang him. His
value to the State would run up to al
most $4,000 Why hang him then. and
be at the expense of doing it. when he
can be put to work with security TO So
ciety and profit TO the State? This is
new idea and has some merit. Whether
it will find favor remains to be seen,
since money does not pay for the presence
of some men.
