EeIfne EnithfuIneaa.

The 5haifhe1lt5 pA 5oEi4g Ia eaH has become proverbial, and the state-
 4ent that f.'the cata came I back" arouses no wonder among those fa- miliar with the habits of the feline creation. Frank Howard, a young New Hampshire man, living at New Hampton, was married recently, and decided it would be good thing. to have cat in the new home he and his bride had selected in the town of Stratham, 100 miles away. So when the day for moving arrived, there was placed in the car with the furniture and other goods the house. hold cat, an Angora, which upon arr rival at Stratham was quickly re- leased. She soon disappeared and was seen no more. In about a week Mir. Howard received a letter from his mother in New Hampton, saying that the cat had returned to her old home, the date of her arrival being three days after her disappearance from Stratham. The cause of the cats long journey was revealed when she sought out family of kittens, of whose existence the Howard fam fly were in ignorance. She was seen carrying them, one at time, from one barn to another nearby, and was permitted to remain undisturbed at the old homestead.-Golda Days.

1,ree That Fixe. suez sands.

One of the problems which has giv- en the management of the Suez canal much trouble is that of the sand that blows into it, adding to the dredging expenses. A considerable number of plants have been tried in the effort to fix the sands that a comparatively small quantity would be blown into the canal. All of these plants have failed except one, which, it is now be- lieved, will be quite effective in keep ing the sand in place. This large plant is the casuarina tree. It thrives in Egypt and grows well on the sand banks that skirt the Suez canal It not only survives intense drought, but also excessive humidity, which is important, as the northern part of the canal is subject to inundations at some periods and droughts at other seasons of the year. The roots of this tree penetrate the sand so deep- ly that they tap subterranean sources of water. Many of the trees planted 25 years ago have thrived so we'll in their new habitat that they are now over 40 feet in height. All who have studied the problem of sand fxation are certain that this tree will offer important resistance to the move ment of sand along the canal. Steps are being taken to plant it extensive. ly.-N. Y. Sun.

Hindu Belief.

When the land is contaminated, men should, at the time of milking cows, let the milk fall directly on the ground and moisten it. They should also fast Deeds of charity and sacrifices in be. half of ancestors should be performed in every house, village and city. For "impiety is the root of all diseases 7 So says Charaka, the highest authority in medical science. The planets should be propitiated. The observance. of these good rules will create in men a kind of psychic force which will purify the tainted soil, water, etc., and rem der them wholesome. Vishnu should be worshiped in every house with of, ferings of leaves of tulasi. Such holy obseryances will put an end to all pes. tilential diseases like the bubonie plague, malarial fever, cholera, etc There will be timely showers of rain, followed by abundant harvests; men will pass their lives in the enjoyment of health and peace. Nothing else can contribute to the happiness ot mankind. Indian Mir or.

BoZeman, and, in fact, the whole oi aallatin county, is afflicted with a scourge of dandelions. They are to be seen in every garden, and in nearly every field in the county.

A Afarfaer's wife some 30 years ago longed for dande- lion greens and she sent to friends in the east and asked them to send out some seed. They compiled with her request and the seeds took root in the lndy's garden. They spread from the garden into the lane which runs by the ranch and in the summer either side is a yellow mass of flowers, and later it looks like miniature cotton. field.

shop property, that the city Is not lia- ble for damage caused in this way. This, he said, should not be under stood to imply that it would not be ad- Yisable to build a retaining wall there. But" he said, ''I don't see what we can do about it at this time. 1t would cost over $3,000 to do the work and the street department can't spare that from new work. Last fall this board requested the aldermen to provide ways and means to attend to this mat ter, but they didn't do it, and while that is no reason why it should not be taken hold of now if We are in posi- tion to do it, still it is difficult to see how we can take hold of it at this time."
 MT Blakeslee: "You may have suit on your hands if the thing stands there much longer. Some of the shops have grown tired of being drenched."
 Mayor Kilduff: 'Let them sue. The city of Waterbury is able to show req conditions that obtain there during rain storms. If those people who are finding fault will remove the obstruc- tionS they are maintaining Tn the rlVer and allow the water to follow it's regu- lar course that will remove the trou- ble.'
 No action was taken on the matter.
 w. L. Burgess of Judd street, a charming old gentleman, gave the board a short talk about the planting of young trees in Hamilton park. He said he knew it would be very hand some place and that inside of thirty or thirty-five years Waterbury would have at least 100000 people to enjoy it.
 "What kind of trees would you ad- wise the city to put there, MT Bur gess?' asked Commissioner Whiting. "Ones to climb or for shade?"
 MT Burgess (adroitly): Well, shouldn't counsel the setting out of fruit trees there"
 The meeting then adjourned for week.

One of the many quaint stories told about the early Gays of Washington city, the nations capital, is that one in which it is said the place was first named Rome, that it was on Fiber creek and that it was owned by a man named Pope. It is said in some histories of Washington that an Eng. lishman named Pope, about the year 1860, acquired an estate including what is now Capitol hill, Washington His name being Pope, he gratified a whim by calling his estate Rome and signing himself Pope of Rome" A little stream near by he named the Fiber, and the exact spot where the capitol stands to-day he designated "Capitoline hill."-Chicago Record.

TENTH ALUMNE MEETING.
Banquet of Last Evening Will Long
 Remain a Pleasant Memory.

The annual commencement exer- cises of the Convent de Notre Dame were brought to a fitting continuation last evening, when the tenth annual meeting of the Alumnae association was held and the annual dinner was served in the convent hall. Before partaking of the elegant spread, } re- ception was rendered to the mother provincial Of the Notre Dame order, who was present from Canada. After the reception, which was of a very pleasant nature, the members with drew to the chapel, where they sang sweetly the Magnificent.
 The time had now arrived for the banquet, which was held in the con- vent hall. Long rows of tables, load ed with all kinds of good things, greet ed the eye. Palms and potted plants and cut flowers were displayed throughout the hall. The hall and the tables especially presented an inviting appearance. Mrs Maria Jones Swee- ney of Naugatuck was toast mistress, and no better one could have been se- lected. The toasts were nobly re sponded to by the different members, who proved themselves splendid after dinner speakers. Last evenings ban- quet was one of the memories which will cling for a long time to those who were present. Stevenson well says: ''We pass into the night From the loud banquet, and in passing
 leave
 A tremor in friends memories faint
 and sweet,
 And frail as music"

TAXES REACH
To 4 MILLION
Decision Given in Chica-
go Traction Com
pany Cases.
Injunction Is Dissolved and
Equalizers Fix Assess
ments.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Nov. 22.-The ap-
plication of the Chicago Union Traction
Company and the Consolidated Traction
Company for an injunction restraining the
State Board Of Equalization from assess
ing the capital stock Of those companies
for 1900 was denied this afternoon by
Judges Grosscup and Humphrey In the
United States Circuit Court The tempo
rary injunction issued by Judge GrosScup
IN Chicago on Tuesday was dissolved
Immediately after the decision was an
nounced assessments aggregating $1,000, :
600 and involving over $l,O00,OOO IN lSO0
taxes were made by the State Board Of
Eaua liZatiOn, as the fair cash value of the
capital stock of the traction companies
over and above the assessment on their
tangible property The $15.oO0,e00 Ya1ua-
tions made take the place of the $500. .e00
valuations made last year, as representing
the fair cash value OF the property as
sessed. The Teachers Federation estl-
mate was s125. .000 900.
No written opinion in the case was filed
Judge Grosscup stated orally at length
the reasons for the decision, explaining
that later Judge Humphrey would file a
written opinion. The method to be fol-
lowed in determining the value of capital
stock for purposes OF taxation was dis
cussed by Judge GrosscUp at length. AS
10 bonds he said, the judgment Of the
money lender might be reasonably safe,
but with capital stock il was different 1t
would be grossly unfair to base the as
sesSment upon the stock values quoted on
I1e STOCK Exchange. 4ICS6 were Ire
ouently, If not generally, determined by
circumstances quite distinct from the real
value Of the stocks in question.
He cited, as an illustration, the North
ern Pacific furry a few months ago. Then
nobody would contend that the real value
of the stock exceeded par, yet the quoted
price reached $1,000. Nor had any court
decided that the Equalization Board must
be governed by the Quotable market prices
of capital stock. He continued:
The bill in this case assumes that the board
viii not exercise its independent judicial
function. but will confine itself to the mere
arithmetic Of adding together the indebtedness
and stock exchange quotations Of the capital
stock. We are not at liberty to concur in this
assumption. We believe and are bound to be-
leve that the board will exercise its function
as contemplated by the law This will exclude
the supposed danger Of gross discrepancy and
the supposed danger of OVervaluatfOn. If it
transpires that the board or equalization at
tennpts to certify assessed value that in its
effect would be a fraud upon any taxpayer,
the courts will remain open to the injured tax
payer. The board should be just as the State
wishes to be, irrespective Of the past and with
out partialiry, and this will assume until
the contrary appears. The motion for prelimi-
nary injunction VIII be Overruled and the tenn
porary restraining order dissolved.

KILLS HIMSELF
TO ESCAPE MOB
Lompoc Wife -Beater
Fires Bullet Into His
Brain.

LOMPOC, Nov. 22-Fearing the wrath
Of citizens who were battering down the
door Of his dwelling, intent upon enforc-
ing a demand that he leave this vicinity,
j. A Burns, q, Wlfe-beSter, committed sui
eide here last night. The tragedy ends
a career Of cruelty and Incidence that has
long aroused the wrath of the residents
over the dead man.
Burns several years ago beat his father
in-law almost to death. Since that time
he has not permitted his wife to visit
her parents and several days ago, while
his mother-in-law was on her deathbed
begging to see her daughter, Burns locked
his wife into room and threatened 10
Kill any Of her folks who dared to come
near his house.
On the day of her mothers death Mrs.
Burns was compelled by her husband TO
prepare feast and partake of it and he
would not permit any Of his family to at
tend the funeral.
Indignant citizens yesterday ordered
Burns to leave town. This he refused to
90 and hc threatened to burn the town If
any one mOleSte0 him. Last night, at 10
CLOCK, more than 100 citizens called at
his home and asked him to come out. as
they desired to have an understanding as
70 MS Iuture conduct He refused to
emerge from his dwelling and the citizens
proceeded 10 go in after him.
Inc GOOr was ordered broken in by the
leader, and Immediately two shots were
heard within. When the door was broken
IN Burns was found in dying Condition
The first shot had made only a slight
scalp wound, but the second bullet en-
tered the right eye, emerging above the
left ear
The family is not in poor circumstances
