VaIdOstn Street Fair shows Had to
Give Up.
Valdosta, Ga, Dec. 19.-The promot-.
ers of the street fair have had a world
of trouble all of the week, and the cli
max came to-day, when implicit orders
came from the controller general to the
Ordinary and tax collector. instructing
them to collect $40 state and county tax
from each tent or concession. There
were about eighteen tents altogether,
so this added nearly $500 expense to be
paid before the tents could be folded
and carried away.

anteed that no taxes would be charged

long and hard fight that they succeed
ed in getting the city administration
to make reduction in the city license
to 800.
When the county tax collector ap-
peared upon the scene to get his part
of the proceeds he was given the
horse laugh" Then the sheriff came
around with papers enough to stop all
of the wheels. but he only secured a
bond until the matter could be taken
up with the controller general.

NEEDS The MONEY
But POPE Plus, UNFORTUNATELY,
DID NOT GET 1T.
THE MILLIONS OF POPE LEO
REACHED Plus UPON HIS Aces
SION, NOT RECENTLY.

At the Vatican the Story of the De-
livery by Cardinal Gotti of the
PrinceIy Request of the Late Pope
Was Denied-By His Will the Pope
Really Left His Successor $780,

in Need of Funds.
Rome Dec. -19.--At the Vatican the
statement of the Tribuna yesterday
that Cardinal Gotti, project of the pro-
paganda, had handed Pope Plus X 49,
000, 900 in bank notes, said to have been
confided to Cardinal Gotti by the late
Pope Leo with instructions to turn the
money over to his successor after a
period of four months had elapsed, was
denied.
On the same authority the statement
of the Tribuna that an electrician
found in a hole in the wall $1.s5O000
in gold, or any other treasure, was
also denied.
The truth is that the present Pope,
Immediately after his ascension to the
throne, received $S4OO, 900, as indicated
in the part of the late Pope's will,
which was not made public. The de-
livery of the money was effected by
Cardinals Gotti, Rampolla and Cretoni,
Pope Leo's executors, who brought the
larger part of the bonds from the pro-
paganda, where they were kept.
In absolutely denying that any money
was found behind the hangings of
Pope Leo's bedroom, the absurdity of
the story is evident when it is con-
sidered that 100000 in gold would rep
resent over forty tons in weight
The financial condition of the holy
see is somewhat unsatisfactory and

eminent, which represented a great
outlay for years. Recently salaries and
pensions were diminished, but even
now the annual expenditure of the Vat
lean amounts to about $1.400,000.
1t is further denied that Pope Leo
left less money than was found when
he assumed the tiara. At the death
of Plus TX the amount at the dis
posal Of the Holy See did not reach
$S.000,000. Pope Leo might have left

port of the Fourth Assistant Post
master General Mr. Bristow, as print
ed, covering about 400 pages, was in
any way an attempt to cover up any
thing about that gentleman or any
body else. My impression is, if the
gentleman will examine that report he
will see that the covering up referred
to was the act of the Postmaster Cen

ROAD WON THE CASE.
Goodwin Suit, Brought at ValdOsta,
Has Been Determined.

Goodwin suit, brought AZ NHAuO0e'@'
Has Been Determined.
Valdosta, Ca, Dec. 19.-The Goodwin
suit against the Savannah, Florida and
Western road terminated this after
noon in a verdict for the defendants.
The evidence upon which the verdict
was based was that part which showed
that no protest was made when the
ditch was being dug, and also state
ment alleged to have been made by
Mr.. Goodwin to the effect that trash
pile beyond his residence, placed there
by the city gang. was the cause of the
sickness in his family.
In view of the great similarity of
the case to the Parrish case, which
was won by the plaintiff, the attorneys
for the road made a much stronger
and more effective fight than was at
first expected.
Mrs. S. B. Goodwin sued for $4,000
damages, caused by a ditch dug near
her residence several years ago. 1t
was alleged that water accumulated
in the ditch and became stagnant,
causing injury to the health of her
family, her husbands death being
claimed to be due to that fact.

be an attempt on the part of Chicago
hotel managers to raise their rates
during the National Republican Con-

Postmaster General Payne has tele-
graphed to Chairman Hanna in New

Chicago hotels, and suggesting that
unless assurances are at once forth
coming that the regular rates are to be
