TRANSFER OF Mr.. PIODA.
Swiss Minister Very Popular Among
His Countrymen in America.

The transfer Of the Swiss minister
from Washington to Rome, rumored in
recent dispatches. would cause sincere
regret at the Capital, where Mr.. Pioda
has made himself popular by reason of
his hospitality and his most cordial
manner.
The natives OF Switzerland who re-
side here will miss him greatly. as he
has always been their sincere helper
and friend.
One of the cheeriest festivities of the
Christmastide throughout Mr.. Pioda S
residence in Washington has been the
Christmas tree and attendant celebra-
tion at the legation for his fellow
countrymen. there being some little
remembrance for every guest.

the exception of the Secretary of Agri-
culture and Miss Wilson. who are taking
| life comfortably here and will not &c
off for an outing until some time next
month.
| The Secretary of State and his family
are very fond of their country place in
New Hampshire, and no other pleasure
the summer can furnish seems Turing
enough to tempt them from their home.
Some idea OF their escape from the
summer heat was illustrated recently
by dispatch from Lake Sunapee In
which some journalistic Sherlock Holmes
wired to the world at large that the
ladies OF the house had ordered coal at

Admiral and Mrs. Dewey.
The Admiral of the Navy and Mrs
Dewey have gone to Mount Pocono. in
the mountains OF Pennsylvania, where
the crisp. dry air pungent with the
spicy pines and hemlock II is hoped will
be OF benefit to Mrs. Dewey. who was
not at all well last winter, though the
quiet country life of their home on
Woodley Lane did her a great deal OF
good
They have apartments at the Montan-
esca, and even before the Admiral's ar
rival elaborate plans were made for his
pleasure in the way OF fishing. There
is wonderful brook up there full OF
particularly fine trout that can only be
caught by an expert angler, so that the
sport provided for the hero must be
particularly good.
There are tennis courts and golf links
at Mount Pocono, and not the least OF
the attractions offered is the oppor-
tunity of being lost in the mountains

IL ROADS lead to summer resorts
these days.
That Washington society is

N these days.
1 \ That Washington society is
more diversified in its ramblings
this summer than ever is evident from
the reports that come daily from the
chain of fashionable resorts on the Mas
and the gay centers along New Jerseys
famous shore.
At all these places there are repre-
sentatives of the various phases of So
ciety which go to make the National
Capital the most attractive city in the
world. Many of them belong to the cot
tage colonies and never a day passes
that a number of them do not contribute
signally to the gayeties of the resorts TO
which their fancy has led them

their stay at Sycamore Hill, they can

It is said that King Edward VII does
not care for Wagner, and, in conse-
Quepce, the works of the greet German
master were not literally patronized
during The Covent Garden season. 1t is
odd how absolutely the opinion of the
British public is swayed by that of its
King No matter what the intrinsic
merits Of the work may be. they count
for nothing unless they elicit the favor
of the King. Edward calls Wagner
tedious, and says that "Tannhauser"

This hero was man of the type described

could and he always did it well-the stuff
Of which heroes are made. doing heroic
things for others and never talking or
boasting Of what he did, Stillman Colt
was. in fact, great man in his altruism,
which led him never to spare himself
What he had, he shared freely with the
unfortunate-the widows and the father
less. The poor knew to whom they could
appeal in eAtrenities and, as in the case
of Edward and Elinor, the lovers of the
story he had the kindliest sympathy with
affairs of the heart, having once loved and
lost the loved one himself. This strong
man, living by himself, never lived to
himself and when he was about to die he

The Tax Levy;

The total assessed valuation Of real and
personal property in the city of Mime
apolis is about 20 per cent Or one-flfth
larger than it was two years ago. Unless
our taxes are to be heavier in the aggre-
gate than they have been heretofore the
rate should be reduced one-f1fth; In other
words, from 30 to "a mills. :. >>-":.
1t does not appear that there is any rea-
son why any more money should be col
lected for taxes this year than last year.
AS far as we know none Of the depart
ments have suffered materially, If at all,
for lack of funds, carefully and economi-
cally employed. Some Of the city depart
ments have already indicated their ability
to get along with the same amount Of
money appropriated last year, and the pol
Icy Of the administration would be to hold
down current expenses to at least as low
figure as heretofore. It may be neces-
sary to enlarge the appropriation of the
school board slightly because the demands
which that board must meet are unques-
tionably increasing at a rapid rate. TAX
ing into account any increase in that d.
rection which may be imperative the
whole levy. it would seem, might easily be
kept as low as Is mills. This would
