LORENZ BACK IN VIENNA.
Marveis at Number of Alleged Heaiers
im America, ~

Vienna Jan 20.-Dr. Lorenz, who ar
rived here to-day from London, spoke
freely to representative of the Associ-
the United States. h.&
Above all" said the doctor, ''I was
struck with the magnificent charity OF
the Americans and their immense gifts
to educational institutions and hospi-
tails. Their willingness, even their anx-
iety, to spend money in aiding others Is
almost beyond belief" s...T.=5:
Next to this condition Dr. Lorenz
said he had marveled most at the num-
ber Of alleged healers in America, nam
ing Christian Scientists and faith cur
lists of every description, who seem to
flourish there. The doctor was enthusi-
astie with regard to the practice Of
medicine in the United States and de-
clared that American doctors. nurses
and hospitals lead the world. "Ameri.
can physicians represent progressivs-
ness" continued DR.. Lorenz, while the
English physicians are extremely con-
servative In America 1t was difficult
to accommodate the doctors and stu.
dents who desired to attend my Clinics
while during my last week in London
many of the most eminent surgeons
showed no interest in the new methods,
while others who were present declared
the old way to be best" ".
DR.. Lorenz said in conclusion that he
anticipated revisiting the United States,
but that it was impossible for him to
tell when he would have the opportu-
nifty.

of Assessment from Local Officers and
rmposes 1t Upon the State Tax Conn
mission.
Albany, Jan. 20.--Appellate division of
the supreme court, third division, by
vote of three (Parl1er, P. J., Chase and
Kellogg to two (Chester and Smith)
has decided that the special franchise
tax law of 1899 is unconstitutional in
the respect that 1t takes the power of
assessment from local officers and i'm
poses it upon the state board of tax
commission, thus violating the home
rule principle of the constitution.
The prevailing opinion by Presiding
Justice Charles E. Parker (who should
be distinguished from Chief Judge
Parker of the court Of appeals) admits
the legislative power to add franchises
to the list Of taxable property, but in
sists that property so added must be
assessed by local officers. Justice Kcl-
logg, in concurring opinion, raises the
question whether the whole law may
not then be vitiated by the difficulty of
local officers assessing parts of a ''chain
of franchises" between different munic-
ipalities.
In dissenting opinions, Justice Ches-
ter holds that the power to assess is an
incident of the states taxing power, and
may be located as the stat esees fit;
Justice Smith, that the powers and
functions of local boards are not inviol-
ate. and may be modified for any law
ful state purpose,
None of the opinions question the tax
ability of franchises.
The decision will be appealed from by
the state, and the case will go to the
court of appeals as soon as the points
can be prepared.

Waterbury, Conn, Jan. 20.-To-night
sees an absolute deadlock in the strike
situation. Two conferences were held
between General Manager Sewen Of
the Connecticut Railway and Lighting
company and a committee from the
strikers to-day, one at p. m. and the
other at 10 p. m, but no agreement
whatever was reached.
At the latter session the strikers
committee submitted a provisional
proposition for Manager Sewell to sign

he could not think of it. Aside from the
the material differences of opinion, the
best of feeling obtains between the par
ties, and the meeting tonight was en-
llvened by jokes and heart to heart
talks. Nobody was present at the
meeting besides the committee from the
employees and Mr.. Sewell

favorite fabric for winter modes. Con-
sequently, we cannot do better than
use this lovely material for wrap,
combining warmth, lightness and con-
siderable beauty. The old stiff mantle
velvets do not appeal to many Of US.
They are too harsh to drape in the
classical folds which the wrap of the
moment demands.
This reminds me that we shall see
curious mixtures this season of the
ancient Greek 1880 fashions, combi-
nation which in most cases is made to
bear a strong resemblance to the Louis
XIV. modes. 1t is a good idea to take
a little from the best fashions of all
periods and to adapt it to the modes
of to-day.
There are all sorts of fascinating old
fashions which seem, somehow, to suit
the present-day beauties.
The silk knotted and chenille fringe
seems to be an admirable trimming

intermingled with beautiful furs, and
lace is used as much il not more than
eVer-real Tor preference, though
many OF the limitations are quite beau
tiful.
Taking them all around, the styles
for outdoor garments, including head
gear, are quite lovely. And now let me
describe to you one or two mantles of
the moment The long shoulder ap-
pears to be Indispensable. Sometimes
1t is to be arrived at by big pelerine
over-cape, and ofttimes by long
shoulder-piece and the sleeve put in
as one. There is something extremely
graceful about these dropping shoul-
ders, except when they are accentuated
to such an extent that they become
ludicrous. The clever tailor manages
when necessary to square the shoul
ders of his clients before sloping them.
A very pretty pelerine Of fichu effect
is obtained in mantles by an insertion
round the shoulders of heavy guipure
lace, edged on either side with a mar
row fur trimming and very often ac-
companying this there is high Medici
collar.
Many beautiful fur mantles are made
with draped capuchin of contrasting
fur, folds of lace and chiffon. A lovely
Papal shade of violet is being a great
deal used for evening wraps, lined, as
rule, with ermine, and showing a
big pelerine collar of the same fur.
Electric blue velvet is also worn with

like fashion, edged with a 15-inch
fringe of knotted silk of the same
shade, and finished with a collar of
mink, which fell in stoles down the
front This was lined with a thick
creamy white satin.
Then many of the cloth models, gen.
orally white or cream, are trimmed
with mixture of silk and chenille
fringe in the same shade and ruchings
of slightly deeper tone of velvet.
These ruchings are the true sign of
the return to the early Victorian pc
riod. They have a smartness all their
own, but think, somehow, they look
better on dresses than on mantles.
Light cloth dresses trimmed with
| dark furs are ideal for early winter,
and this combination will be much in
evidence, during the next few months,
as it was in the early part of last
spring.
There is distinct fancy for the old
corduroy velvets, and in brown and
deep ivory shades they are really love-
ly. Although light, they are warm
and can be worn without a coat.
Very smart is fawn-colored cordu-
roy skirt with suede coat of the same
shade. Suede, by the way, as have

railroad. But Buff and Bouncer have
house all their own. 1t stands in
the little square homely city yard,
which extends out to the tracks.
You will understand that with noise,
SCOT, cinders and cramped quarters,
these city cats need some compensation
for that lack of freedom which their
country brothers enjoy. Their mis-
tress is so fond of them and so afraid
of losing them that they are even de-
prived of the city cats chief pleasure
-back-fence promenades-by reason
of wire netting stretching fiat along
the top of the fence, so that they can
not climb up. AS consolation for these
privations, the mistress of Buff and
Bouncer has built them a house that
no carpenter need be ashamed of. She
began it as a sort of shelter for her
pets when they wanted to be in the
yard in bad weather. But once her
fingers and the hammer got started,
the rough kennel grew and grew. 1t

two inches high, and spread to two and

bay window. She is a very small
woman, so she devised way to gel
inside in order to fasten in windows
to tack up curtains, and to complete
various other arrangements for the
comfort of her cats. Nearly the whole
side of the house is swung on hinges,
so it can be pulled out, and as it comes
out, like a shelf-table. some long, slen-
der-jointed legs unfold, and 10! sort
of port-cochere, on the roof of which
the cats like to lie and sun themselves,
and underneath which their hammock
can be hung.
One day, when the cats mistress was
inside the tiny house, sitting on the
floor and hard at work. Buff came in,
jumped up on a crossbeam high in his
house. and stretched his head up as if
to look out of the little gable window.
We'll, Buff" said the mistress, you
shall have an upstairs, since you want
it so badly" So she put in a sort of
floor up there. leaving an opening, OF
course, with a shelf half way up, at the
back of the first floor room. to serve as
a cat stairway. When Buff and Bounc-
er go to their second story they jump
up or this shelf-stair, then easily
spring through the opening into their
attic room. There is a piece of thick
carpet for them to lie on, and there
they love to stay, doing or looking
lazily out of their little front window.
The little house is further fitted up
with a movable flight of steps, which
stand sometimes at the front, some
times at the side of the piazza, but
which, you may be sure, Buff and
Bouncer do not stop to use. 1t also
has a hammock and bedstead for
each cat. And Buff and Bouncer will
lie in the hammock, allow themselves
to be tucked in bed, or ride in their
carriage-a doll carriage-and seem to
enjoy themselves hugely. They will
also sit up in little chairs at a small
table and eat though they much prefer
their customary way. One has his dish
set on the floor Of the piazza, and gen.
orally dimes there; the other has his
dish on the upper balcony or roof of
the piazza.
They seem to like to lie and sleep in
or take ride in their carriage, though,
of course, they have to take turns. And
they like to lie in their hammock when
their mistress puts them there-that is,
they will lie still and pretend to sleep,
and have never said they didn'j like
it, which is a pretty sure sign that it Is
agreeable to them, don't you think so?
In the winter this home of Buff and
Bouncer is closed and covered with
canvas and oilcloth to keep it from be-
ing spoiled by storms and snowdrifts.
! At that inclement season these wise
Boston cats prefer to live in the warm.
cozy kitchen of the big house; so you
see what aristocrats they are. They

but it is their summer home, their

them. Happy Buff and Bouncer, two

MAGICAL EXPERIMENT.
Feat That Any Boy May Perform to
AstOnish Friends or Entertain
His Elders.

Here is little feat that any boy can
perform and yet it looks like trick of
a magician. If you wish to entertain a
company with it tell them that you have
a bottle and a goblet, both full to the
brim Of water, and that you are going
to empty the goblet by means of the
bottle without taking drop of water
from the latter.
This is the way to prepare for it: With
a red-hot wire bore two holes through a
cork and into them insert two straws,
as high as the goblet is deep, the other
about twice as high.
Now, with little kneaded bread or
wax close to the upper end of the shorter
straw and then force the cork into the
mouth of the bottle until the water
spurts out through the longer straw.
Meanwhile you have goblet of water
on the table before you, and also basin
or bowl and pair of scissors. Hold the
goblet over the basin with your left
hand and with your right turn the bot
tie upside down, putting the shorter
straw inside the goblet. AS you do this
have some one take the scissors and cut
off the closed end of the shorter straw.
Water will at once begin to run out of
the longer straw into the basin and will
continue to run until the goblet is
empty. You must, OF course, hold the
bottle so that the short straw will reach
down to the bottom Of the goblet
This is simply the operation of a
siphon.-Chicago Chronicle.

r1HE quaint old city Of Boston has

THE quaint old city of Boston has
many interesting sights, but
spectacle that would astonish
boys and girls as much as anything is
glimpse at the home of Buff" and
"Bouncer"
Now, Buff and Bouncer are cats, not
of fine breed, like the Maltese, nor
especially beautiful, like the Angoras.
They are just common, everyday cats.
Bouncer is tortoise-shell with white
triangle on his nose, and Buff dis
like to tell it, but he is nothing in
the world but an ordinary yellow cat.
Somehow, yellow cats and dogs are
counted among the offscourings of
their kind, but Buff-well, have
changed my opinions of yellow cats
since meeting him!
These Boston cats live-that is, their
master and mistress live-in a brick
house on street in Boston near a
