A CHILL FRANCHISE.
Peculiar Qualifications Required OF
voters in a Certain IIIi-
nOls Town.

What constitutes legal residence
and entities one to vote has been
often a matter of dispute. In his
'Recollections" John NJ. Palmer tells
an amusing story of the peculiar
credentials accepted by a certain
town in the west.
The town was in Illinois. One ot
the qualifications required of voter
was residence in the state for six
months previous to the election. On
one occasion a man named Hoskins
appeared for registrations; but wher
asked how long he had lived in the
state, confessed that the time was
somewhat less than six months.
The registration officer, after tell
ing hiIu he had not been in the state
long enough, hesitated a moment
then asked if he had had the chills.'
'Yes, l had one yesterday" sale
Hoskins, "and 1 feel one coming Oh
now"
"Put him down." said the clerk to
his assistant "The chills are as gooc
as a six months residence!"
Mr.. Hoskins's name was thereupoI
placed on the list.

ASSESSING A BRONX LoTLET.
FOrty-FOur Square Inches of Ground
In New York Valued at Two
Hundred Dollars.

The assessors have been called
upon to assess what is relatively the
most valuable piece of real estate in
the entire city, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser, and have ap-
praised it at $780, This may seem
a paradox. But 5000 is full value
for the parcel-and the parcel is in
the Bronx. The "lotlet" is at the
northeast corner of Third avenue
and One Hundred and Forty-ninth
street. 1t is triangular in shape and
measures 6 inches on the avenue, IA
inches on the street and 13 inches on
the northeasterly line. 1t, therefore,
contains 40 square inches.
Last May it sold for 5000, or SIS a
square inch. That would be $720 a
square foot, or at the rate of $1,s0O,-
900 for a fuYlot of $500 square feet,
price uYequaled even in the finan-
cial sectiBn of Manhattan. Prior to
the adoption of the full value as
sessnaent plan the spot of land,
which is about big enough for man
tQgstand upon on one foot, was as
Sessed at about $50 and the taxes
kwere about 70 cents. The assessors
evidently read the accounts of the
sale on May 20 last year, tucked the
clippings away for future use and
swooped down on the owner with an
assessment on January II of 5000.
The taxes this year, therefore, will
be at the $1.45 rate, $3.50.
