man resisted. but he proved to be no match
for his victor. who soon had him subdued

Stands by the Assessor.

In legal opinion handed down by Cor
poration Counsel A. B. Duvall he holds
that the assessor properly ruled that the
statement Of the gross earnings Of the
american Security and Trust Company for
the hscal year 1902 was the proper basis
ior taxation for the fiscal year 1908. upon
whch the tax OF per cent was chargeable,
the whole OF which would be due and nav.
able In May. 1903. The company appeaIed
from the action Of the assessor in over-
ruling the protest of the company with re-
gard to the return OF it's gross earnings
Tor the fiscal year 1902 The protest raised
questions Of law and the matter was
turned over to Mr.. Duvall for his opinion.

MISSIONARY FROM INDIA.
The Rev. DR.. Rosa Oxer Gives an In
teresting Talk.

The Rev, DR.. Rosa Oxer, who has been
for seven years a missionary. stationed In
Mahoba, a province Of India. delivered a
lecture last evening on missionary condi-
lions in India and the India famine OF 1885,
in which she, then young In the work, was
a prominent actor. The Vermont Avenue
Christian Church was well filed to listen
to the entertaining speaker. who Is an
American girl, and was born in Ohio.
81 took UP missionary work in India first
in 1896" Miss Oxer said. "and remained at
the station at Mahoba until May. 1902. The
population of the northwest provinces Is
about 100000, and but four missionaries
were stationed there. This number has
since been increased to six, Of the Christian
denomination, while there are few sta
toned there by outside societies.
1.-The great famine of 1895 was the most
noteworthy event that occurred during the
period of my work in India. 1t was caused
directly by the dry season OF that year.
The usual rains did not matertalize. and
the entire province was rendered parched
and arid Suffering was intense, the great
est misfortunes failing upon the small chill
dren One thousand children, during the
famine, were brought to the mission head
quarters many of them bereft OF parents
or relatives. OF these we retained ITO.
sending the others to various places Wnere
they could be cared for.
"The greatest progress In Chrtstianizing
the natives Is being done among the chill
dren, and great encouragement Is felt over
the work we are doing with them. In other
respects the conditions in the provinces
have not changed during the past i've
years"
Dr. Oxer Is making preparations to re-.
turn to India in September. whom she will
resume her work at the hospital at Balas-
pur, q former station.
At the session yesterday afternoon OF tho
monthly meeting of the Ladies' Society OF
the Vermont Avenue Christian Church. held
in the parlors OF the church, DR.. Oxer and
Miss Elsie Gordon were introduced. Miss
Gordon was born in India as was also her
parents and grandparents. This 10 her first
visit to the United States. She expects to
return to India in September. She has been
engaged In the work for seven years. In
her talk she gave quite a number OF inter-
esting accounts OF the habits OF the natives,
especially Of the seclusion OF the women.

missionaries at Vermont Avenue Church BY
the united auxiliaries of the Christian Wo-
mems Board Of Missions Of the District this
afternoon. The missionaries will give tanks

ALCOHOL BY NEW PROCESS.
May Be Produced for Half What It
Now Costs.

Advices received BY the State Department
from Consul Haynes at Rouen. France,
throw more light on the process that has
been discovered by which alcohol may be
produced by synthests at a cost traf1e I'M
der 10 cents gallon Thus far the cheapest
alcohol produced has cost nearly 20 cents
gallon. At this price Germany produces
quantities of alcohol. potatoes being used as
the vegetable base. BY the French pro-
cess no vegetable matter is employed. By
a direct combination Of carbon and hydro
gen in the electricsaro. iacetyline is obtain
ed. Sufficient hydrogen then is added to
produce. ethyline and by combining water
with ethylne alcohol is obtained. While the
cost Of alcohol by the new process has not
been reduced yet much below Its cost as
produced from vegetable matter, 1t IS pre-
dicted with confidence by eminent French
chemists that in the near future 1t may be
produced by the new process at a cost OF
about half that which Germany pays TO
obtain 1t from potatoes. Should this claim
prove to be good Germany will have one
Of her greatest industries cut from under
her.
