especially with Burns in the saddle. The
only question was, was the horse good? His
owner informed his personal friends during

Kilogram made the pace, with Ethics,
Rightaway and The Rival as named
O'Connor very injudiciously pulled the latter

most exciting brush through the stretch.
Both were out to the last ounce, while The
Rival was catching them at every stride.
There was no bid up on Ethics, who was In

CYCLE MEET CALLED OFF.
No Racing at the Coliseum Cycle
Track Tonight

The motor cycle meet announced for to-
night at the Coliseum has been called off
and there will be no meet this week. The
next meet will be Tuesday, July 10, posi-
lively, when Albert Champion, the great
French rider, will race against Will G.
Stinson.
The calling off tonight is due to Turville,
the manager of Lawson. He telegraphed
from Baltimore to Mr.. Osgood at a very
early hour this morning. stating that he
could not get the motor machines for the
meet, and therefore asked to have the meet
called off. There was nothing else to be
done, although Mr.. Osgood will carry the
matter to the board of control and seek
redress against Turville and Lawson.

Formosa Cuts the Pigtail.
From the Japan Mail.


The people Of Formosa are beginning to
cut their hair. That sounds like an idle
announcement, but it means a great deal.
It means final abandonment Of the life of
an outlaw. From many districts news Of
the removal OF the pigtail Is announced,
and the general belief Is that the change
has been brought about by the extensive
operations undertaken against the rebels.
The people of Formosa have been wearing
the pigtail for 800 years.

THE COST OF CRIME.

|
While the boards of supervisors
throughout the state are engaged in
fixing the rate of taxation on real and
personal property for the current year,
and the taxpayers are lifting up their
voices in loud walls Of protests be-
cause Of the taxes they will soon be
called upon to pay, it is we'll for us
to consider proposition in eonnee-
lion with thls subject which Ia often
entirely overlooked, says the Mag
nolia Gazette. Broadly stated it is
that the rate of taxation in country
is regulated to an appreciable, if not
a large, extent by the amount of crime
within its bounds. 1t follows therer
foRe, that egefy Taxpayers should be
yitally interested in the enforcement
of the law and the prompt and speedy
punishment of every man guilty of
it's violation.
Our attention was directed the
other day to a striking illustration
of the truth of the statement that
crime and high taxes 80 together. At
is regent meeting the board Of super
| visors OF Lafayette county found it
necessary to increase the rate of taxa
tion because of the heavy drain upon
the county treasury made by the
trials of criminals. The celebrated
trials Of Mathis, Owens and Lester,
for the murder of the Montgomerys
near Oxford last year, have already
cost the county more than $l2, 900 and
investigation of the case has not yet
been completed. 1t is sum far more
than sufficient to rut the roads of
Lafayette county in thoroughly first
class condition. It is enough to
build and furnish very good court
house. There are indeed innumerahle
ways to which this money of the peo.
pie might have been diverted with
great benefit to the people themselves.
In our own county we may also see
how crime affects the amount of taxes
we must pay. Though we are not yet
working our roads by contract, though
we have no bonded Indebtedness upon
which interest must be paid, yet the
rate Of taaxtion in Pike county is un-
comfortably high. But then our
county legis lature must always take
into consideration the fact that the
expenses Of the circuit court must be
met and those expenses will close ap-
proximate $4,000 per annum We have
not at hand now statement Of the
cost of the term of court last held in
this county, but it is safe to say that
its expenses will not fall far short Of
$4, 900, and yet at that term there was
not singular murder case upon tho
docket and the majority of cases tried
were for petty misdemeanors.
It has been frequently stated that
the enforcement of law lies largely
with the people themselves. So, too,
deos the rate of taxation. If the peo-
pie, who compose the grand and petit
juries of the county, are slow in their
Indictment or conviction of offenders
if public sentiment be not over
whelmingly in favor of law and order,
and the criminally inclined made to
feel the force of this sentiment-then
we may expect to find the burden of
taxation laid heavily upon our
shoulders.
