Two committees had receded from the
demand and when the third appeared TO
insist upon 1t and II was not granted Q strike

men; teamsters were threatened II they
delivered merchandise TO merchants who
dsregarded the order; farmers were notified
not TO deliver wood TO the non union men
and persons who had business with the

eleven DAYS MORE TO PAY IN

Unless city taxes are paid in faster
the next eleven days than they have
been the past two weeks, Treasurer
Shaw will be compelled to turn ovel
to the delinquent tax collector August
81, larger amount for collection
than has appeared on the delinquent
list for years.
City taxes became due August 1
and Of the $4,000 on the rolls for col
lection this year but a trif1e over
$4,000 has so far found it's way into
the city's pockets and that has come
in woefully slow. On August 81 the
treasurer closes his books and I'M
paid taxes at that time are turned
over to the delinquent tax collector
A penalty is then added.
In the five years that Treasurer
Shaw has been custodian Of the city's
funds never have city taxes
come in SO slowly as this
year. Either property owners
are shy on ready cash or else are
deferring payment until the last mo-
ment. The latter is probably the real
cause as it has not been heard that
deposits in the three banks Of the city
have shown any decrease.
COincident with the slow manner
in which city taxes are coming in bi
cycle licenses have not shown any de-
gree of activity. But 140 had been is

have been discovered in the REGIONS OF

to have yielded from two to three
ounces per ton, with a minimum of IL
pennyweights. A writer in the Matiu
goes 50 far as to declare that some
specimens obtained near Kairouan
have produced in the laboratory the
fabulous yield Of three and fom
pounds to the ton. The mining de-
partment in the Regency is reported
by the same authority. to have at frs
refused to issue permits until It wa.
proved that the gold existed but II

a day. A specialist in Paris, however

to light in the civil courts. Much of
the business of these courts consists of
what are known as landlord and ten
ant cases. In most of the disputes aris-
Ing from broken leases the tenants
have sought to justify themselves for
moving out by claiming that there was
lack Of steam heat during the cold
weather. The landlords invariably
combated this testimony by claiming
that there was no coal to be obtained
at the time. Some of the landlords Of
the high grade apartment houses,
whore the leases represent a good deal
OF money, made the mistake of calling
their engineers to corrotorate them.
The engineers when cornered testified
that they used only sufficient coal to
keep the cold storage plants in the
houses from freezing. These plants are
very costly, and had they frozen up
and the pipes burst the damage would
have been about $4,000. 1t was due
to this fact alone that many of the
best apartment houses in the city were
left without any heat at all.-N Y.

A Tomb in

THE fresh yellowish green of the
spring had not changed to the
darker hues~of summer, for the season
was late in the Pennsylvania hills.
The sunshine warmed sward and barred
ground, but there was lingering chill
In the shade of heavy trees. Three
miles away a big city threw its murk
OF coal smoke to the sky, but out in
the cemetery there was clearness and
utter peace. From the topmost twig
OF maple an oriole swung and chant
ed his evening hymn and, though the
sun was low, from grass and bush came
the multitudinous hum of insects born
for a day. All morning and for long
after high noon the burying ground
had been thronged by people who came
to lay offerings of flowers upon the
graves of their loved ones, but now the
forest of marbles was deserted and the
flowers, emblematic in their swift de-
cay, were already dropping and with
cred. That pale Death (Pullida Mers)
which knocks with equal hand at the
door of prince and peasant seemed still
to linger about the place and mutter a
benson. Slow on the late breeze came
the rolling notes of bell from the
city and the round golden sounds har-
monized with the quietness and en-
riched without breaking it.

Leo XIII. is. as everyone knows,
the godfather of young King Al
fonso of Spain. But the latter is
by no means the only godchild of
the holy father, who announced his
intention of acting as sponsor to
every child born in Rome on March
3 last, which was the twenty-fifth
anniversary of his succession to the
papacy, says a London paper. The av-
erage number of births per day in
Rome does not exceed IS. But for some
extraordinary reason there were no
less than % births recorded ON March
3, % being curiously enough the num-
ber Of years which have elapsed since
