( Sweetest is the mandolin.
Harp and lutte should none disdain
tNaught by minstrel held so dear);
Often hath their tender strain
Drawn from noble eye the tear;
Many maid will take for cheer

TO do is TO require G patroiman, or de-
tective. to walk beat continually, Hrss
up one sue Of the street and then down
the other and keep his eyes fixed upon the
house in question. The result Is usually
seen in two ways. Frequenters OF the
suspected house drop off and finally cease
their visits altogether. On the other
hand. the proprietor becomes alarmed,
nervous, f1dgcty and in the end pro-

London, April 24.-In the house of COM
mons to-day the secretary Of the admiral
ty, Hugh O. Arnold-Forster, said the ad-
.miralty was considering the whole matter
Of ship subsidies, with the view OF de-
filming the rights of the. admiralty in the
event of contingencies arising, such as
the suggested shipping combine. When
tied upon no trade combinations under
foreign control were contemplated; but
the admiralty had appointed committee
to consider and report on the purpose and
form Of future subsidy agreements.
The admiralty in the meanwhile mad
made arrangements with the White Star
line which precluded the possibility OF
any of their armed cruisers or merchant
steamers being transferred to foreign
flag without the consent of the admiralty
during the unexpired portion of the ad-
miralty agreements. Important legal
points were involved, including the ques-
tions whether, in the event Of war, there
was anything to prevent these companies
from substituting a foreign for the Brit

Snecial To The Ionrnal

Special to The Journal
Lincoln, Neb., April PA decision on
the taxation Of corporations, which is
likely to be as far-reaching as that in the
famous school teachers case in Chicago,
was handed down yesterday by .the SUI
preme court of Nebraska.
1t grants the application of the Real
Estate Exchange of Omaha for writ OF
mandamus to compel the city council to
reconvene as a board Of equalization and
hear complaints against the alleged low
assessment of the property of public
service corporations of that city, and de-
,cfaress That; these corporations shall be
assessed on the same basis as private
property. :,~l
That section Of the general revenue law
under which corporations have heretofore
deducted the amount OF their bonded in
debtedness from the value of their prop
erty for taxation purposes is declared UNI
constitutional. On the manner Of assess
ing franchises and corporation property
toe decision is distinct and to the effect
that corporations must pay taxes in pro-
portion to the value Of the entire prop
|.erty, the same as other property.
I The opinion affects the entire state and
is not appealable.
