PROPERTY IS SUBJECT TO TAX.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Renders
an Important Opinion.

Arthur H. O'Connor, assistant corpora ton
counsel, has rendered an opinion to the
Commissioners on the subject of the liabil-
ity to taxation of personal property found
in the District upon which a nonresident
owner may have paid taxes elsewhere.
II find nothing in the law" says the coun-
sci, which would justify the exemption OF
such property from taxation here, and 1t
is my opinion that such property Is subject
to the tax provided by the act of July l.,
1902"
The opinion was called forth by a COM
munication from Westcott & Story, SIG 18th
street northwest who cited the case Of A
c. Tyler of 1884 I street, who came to
Washington in December, 1902, bringing
with him furniture from his home in New
London Conn.,, upon which he had paid
taxes there and which he intended return
ing to that jurisdiction in May or June OF
this year. Mr.. Tyler's assessment, includ-
Ing penalty of 70 per cent, amounts to
81, 800, on which there is a tax of 1h per
cent, or $72. Mr.. H. H. Darneille, the as
SCISSOR, first reported on the case. After
quoting paragraph from the personal tax
law he said:
ut will be observed that this law is silent
as to taxation of personal property which
Is temporarily located in the District of
Columbia and is taxed elsewhere, but 1t is
to be presumed that the law means what it
plainly says. and as the words used are all
tangible personal property, the inference II
that personal property temporarily located
in the District of Columbia is included with
in the scope of the law, whether or not 1t is
taxed elsewhere.
such double taxation Of personal prop
erty has been. l am informed sustained by
the courts, and If this construction is not
placed upon the law it would be extremely
difficult to substantiate statements that
such property was taxed elsewhere"

Among the women was a delicate
girl, Elizabeth Lane-she was nick
named Patty-who had recently re-
turned from school in Philadelphia.
From the refining influences of a
school in what was then the first city
in the land she had been transported
to wilderness and now was con-
fronted with savage warfare There
is but one position in which we can
imagine such girl under such cir
cumstances, and that is pale and
trembling. eagerly scrutinizing the
expressions of those defending her,
to learn if there is any hope. Patty
Lane was the very counterpart of
this. She stepped forward as vol
unteer, a volunteer to run a gaunt-
certain death. Not only did she
volunteer to go, but pleaded to be al
lowed to go, arguing that the men
We're all needed for the defense of the
lives of the women and children; that
not mans life should be risked in
this way. but the life of a woman,
who was not fit for harder service
If she were killed. she would not be
missed.
1t was not only the offer that was
surprising. but the Spartan arguments
by which it was supported. The men
all knew that they were true. Re-
luctantly the commander gave his
consent. Patty. kneeling for a mo-

a A Real Heroine

If the heroine of history could be
transformed into real person, her
life would have in it an important
element of happiness. Such cases. vice
versa, have occurred-that is, wo-
man who has shown herself heroic
has lived to an old age in the en-
joyment of her honors.
During the American revolution
small palisade fort erected on the site
of the present city of Wheeling was
the center of a small settlement The
dwelling of Colonel Ebenezer Lane
stood about 200 feet from the pali

the supplies of the fort One morn
ing-it was September l. 1777-a man
rode up to the place. threw himse
from his horse and eXcitedly announc-
ed that one Simon Girty. with a large
number of savages, was advancing
to its capture. This man Girty Was
descended from the lowest order of
people, his father having been an
outlaw and his mother a disgrace to
her sex Simon had inherited the
worst procivities of both Captured
by the Indians when a boy, he had
become one of them, and their saw
age practices We're as natural to him
as if he had been born an Indian.
Such was the man who was advanc
ing at the head of several hundred
red men to murder the men, women
and children within the palisade. The
place was made ready for defense.
and Colonel Lanes house, occupying
a favorable position for resistance,
was made part of the inclosure te
be defended There were but doz-
en- men to protect the women and
children, who were huddled together
in the palisade, expecting the worst
possible fate.
The party came up, and Girty De
manded the surrender Of the fort,
which was OF course refused. Then
commenced a fire from besieged and
hesie9ers which was kept up till night,

an Indian outside attempting to fire
the palisade. Sam shot the man dead

The next morning the attack was
renewed With hollow log bound with
chains for a cannon. but the log burst
at the first discharge and killed sew

the failure, Girty attempted to carry
the fort by storm, but the rifles with
in were true, and he lost many men
without accomplishing his object.
It was now discovered that the
supply of powder in the fort was about
exhausted. There was a keg in the
Lane house, but to procure 1t some
one must go nearly 200 feet and re
turn with it exposed to the fire Of
the Indians. The commander called
for a volunteer to make the attempt

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

1t is claimed that Belfast, Ireland, is
the leading place among the cities of

progress, it now having twice as many
societies N proportion to it's popula-
ton as London, which now has the
largest union in the world.
The new Princeton university cata-
logue shows a total of 1882 students
this year, against 1854 last year. The
number of professors and instructors
has increased from 101 to 10S. The
combined Princeton libraries contain
256,O0O volumes, $4,000 having been
added during the year.
Hitherto it has been considered a
moral weakness to slumber in church.
Now DR.. Dabbs, the editor of Vectis,
comes to the rescue of the church
sleepers with scientific facts. .'You
call it irreverence to sleep in church!
Nonsense! 1t is only carbonic diox-
ide." The really irreverent person is
he who permits the church to be full
of this foul air.
The report of the treasurer of Har-
ward university presented to the board
of overseers shows that the university
as whole has completed the past year
with an excess of receipts over expendi-
lures of $43, 3,6O2.56. The gross receipts
for the year were $4,7Ss, ,956.47, and the
gross expenditures $3,793, ,953.23, leav-
ing net increase of funds and bal
ances of 5,o03.24.

anticipate two college courses, by TAX
ing 10 hours work for two years and

fuse to permit student to do this.
Charles j. Capen. senior master OF
the Boston Latin school, has been a
teacher in that institution for so years.
Lately his friends presented the school
with handsome portrait in oil of the
veteran instructor. While Mr.. Capen's
record is remarkable, that of Miss
Harriet Caryl, of the same city, is more
so. Miss Caryl entered the high school
as pupil in 1852, the year the institu-
tion was founded, and three years later
became a teacher. She has remained
in that position continuously ever
since.
The Swedish Evangelical Lutheran
Emmanuel church, the oldest Swedish
Lutheran church in Chicago, celebrat-

congregation numbers over 1000 and
the Sunday school has 1900 pupils. In
the so years of it's existence the church
has had only two pastors. An album
engraved in gold and silver lettering

BY PERsPIRATIoN POWER.
That Was the Way the Holsters OK
This Elevator Said 1t Was
Operated.

During an uncommonly hot week of
summer when Bishop Henry c. Pot
ter resided on North w ashington
square, he had as guest a distin-
guished English churchman, bishop
and member of the house of lords.
The visitor was, afflicted with rheuma
tism and was unable to ascend the
stairs from the dining-room without
considerable suffering. Ihe residence
was equipped with handpower
freight and baggage elevator, large
enough toaccommodate te one passenger,
although not ordinarily used for that
purpose. After noticing the evident
pain causedto the guest, it occurred to
Bishop Potter that the freight eleva-
tor might be available as a more con-
yenient means of ascent, relates the
New York Mail and Express.
After dinner on one of the hottest
DAYS in summer the experiment was
tried. The visiting bishop stepped
carefully into the gloomy box. Two
young men who had also dined we'll,
and to whom post prandial exertion
were pressed into service to haul on
the ropes. The distinguished and af-
iicted guest was of portly habit and
weighed more than the average of
stone" [
The elevator was not built for great
weights, and its lifting power depend
ed almost exactly upon the main
strength at the end of the ropes. With
prodigious heaving and hauling the
ascent was begun. The two flushed
and painting young men looked at each
other, and had emphatic thoughts.
