THE FUNNY STORY OF CYNIcUs.

THE FUNNY STORY OF CYNICUS
From The London Morning Post.
About eleven years back artist who had
been plodding for many years on the staff of
Scottish newspaper rented old shop in Drury
Lane and placed in the window a series OF
tinted sketches satirical and humorous. These
sketches were somewhat rough and crude, yet
they were quantity effective, and coupled with
the daring of their author in displaying his ware
in such place, soon made "CynIcus' notable

There is one thing which strikes me forcibly
with regard to Patagonia. Here is small vestige
Of the elder peoples, and little OF any older
civiliza tons. Even in the hearts Of deserts Of
the Old World are to be found traces of ancient
cities where men lived long ages ago. But
nothing that bears farthest resemblance to a
ruin to the zone stone laid upon another" that
tells of mans settled home, exists in Patagonia.
Yet though the ruined cities of other countries
are old Patagonia is older yet. The nomad
tribes have roamed here through the centuries,
leaving the grass to grow over their Old camp
fires but never altering or marking with any
permanent mark the face of this old land No,
though Patagonia is in a sense the oldest of all,
for here we come face to face with prehistoric
times-the skeletons of the greater beasts, the
flint weapons of primitive man-with practically
nothing to intervene. A lean humanity, un-
touched by aught save nature has run out of
its appointed course until very recent years;

The first attempt to draw wagons for collect

abandoned because of the roughness underfoot,
and the train dropped south, to the upper valley
Of the Chico River, following its course to Santa
Cruz at its mouth. Leaving soue of the party
there, to collect fossils and other specimens, the
author struck back to the mountains, due west,
along the Santa Cruz River, to Lake Argentine.
1t was this river up which Darwin proceeded
for his most intimate view Of Patagonia, and
its barren track probably helped to give him an
exaggerated idea of the country's sterility. His
map. however. has not been improved upon. To

GRISWOLD OUT ON BAIL
WINEROOM KEEPER RELEASED
FROM wORKHOUsE ON BOND.
Action of Authorities Causes Some
Criticism I'm View of Flagrancy
of His Ofense.

A. s. Griswold. the saloon keeper at 146
South Illinois street who was several days
ago fined $500 and costs and sentenced to
800 days i'm the workhouse by Judge Whal-
Ion, of the Police Court, was released from
that institution yesterday morning on a
$1,000 bond, pending his appeal to the Grim
inal Court.
Griswold, it is said, conducted one OF the
fouest resorts In the city with winerooms.
where he sold liquor to girls of tender
years, and even offered inducements to
them to bring trade TO his saloon.
His arrest was brought about by the
arrest of three young girls i'm one of his
winerooms. and their sentence later to the
Woman's Reformatory.
While there has been no license for the
saloon operated by the violator of the law
since July 81, his place never was known
to be closed, and IL Is said that the United
States authorities will prosecute him for
selling liquor without license as soon as
he has served the time given him i'm the
Police Court. The authorities are criticised
for permitting the release of the dive
keeper from the workhouse.
Many people could not understand why
Griswold's release was permitted Judge
Whallon explained that pending the appeal
to the Criminal Court the prisoner had the
right TO demand his release on bond. When
proper security was furnished the release
was allowed.

BANDS FINAL CONCERT
FAIR BANK MANAGEMENT WILL
CLOSE SEASON TONIGHT.
The Park VIII BE Open and Admis-
sion VIII He Free the Rest of
the Summer.

The excellent Ostendorf Concert Band will
close its engagement at Fair Bank with
to-nights programme This announcement
will come as a surprise to many of the
amusement seekers and music lovers of the
city, and doubtless there will be many ex-
pressions of regret over the decision of the
anagement of the beautiful park to dis
continue these enjoyable summer evening
entertainments.
The original intention was to have the
band remain until the end of August, but
the fall in the temperature has affected the
attendance to such an extent that the man.
agement concluded IL would be great risk
TO continue the concerts for another fort
night. The expense of keeping together a
company of such efficient musicians has
been great, and the recent audiences at the
park have not warranted the continuance
of the band concerts.
A splendid farewell programme will be
rendered this evening, and Indianapolitans
will upon this occasion, be given their last
opportunity of enjoying concert by one of
rhe best bands ever brought to this city.
After tonight the Ostendorf Orchestra,
composed of the best local talent, will give
nightly concerts at Fair Bank and the ad-
mission to the park will be free. Louis Os-
tendorf. the organizer and manager of the
band that has been such an artistic sue
cess during the last eight weeks, has about
decided to take the thirty-six instrumental
lists on tour Of Indiana next summer.

Is an ardent Republican, and has taken the
stump in many campaign. His quickness
of wit and keenness of argument, combined
with his magnificent voice, have made him
valuable addition to the working force
or his party. In respect OF the latter quail
fication this story of a recent happening is
told: A friend of Colonel Ray called him
up over the telephone. but the colonels big
voice was too much for the wire. and IL
was impossible TO understand him. Fin
ally the questioner said: Look here, COL
onel Ray, you hang up the receiver and
just talk; l can hear you from here with

Colonel Ray was member of the famous
I.incoln Club of this city, which went TO

BANKERS BEFORE BOARD
TAX COMMISSIONERS HEAR APPEALS
FROM COUNTY FINDING.
DR.. James Carter Asks the Board to
Assess Banks ON Full Value
of Their stock.

The Indianapolis banks were represented
before the Board OF Tax Commissioners
yesterday morning. The board heard the
appeals from the banks before noon. In
the afternoon the board was in executive
session.
The appeal of DIR. James Carter from the
assessment of the banks by the County
Board OF Review was heard by the board
yesterday morning. Last year DR.. Carter
took the case to the Tax Board on appeal
from the County Board OF Review. and the
assessment was raised from 10 to 20 per
cent. OF the face value OF the banks capi-
tai stock. plus the surplus and undivided
profits. The board this year has taken off
the extra per cent. DIR. Carter in his
statement given yesterday before the board
asked that body to assess the banks to
the full value of their stock.
The sppraisement OF the various banks
~ the County Board of Review on stock,
surplus and profits was fixed as follows;
Fletcher National. 81 .s25. .126: Columbia
National. $l.3l3. 80; Merchants National
x.3os.2 .2s2: Capital National. $440500; Union
National. $4,000 American National, 81
247oo: Indiana National, 81 1.42S.535, The
Marion County Board of Review decided to
assess these banks at 20 per cent. of these
returns.
John Perrin. president of the American
National Bank. was before the board part
of the forenoon. He was closely questioned
as 10 the business of the bank. He de-
clared that IL was not right TO assess the
banks on the face value of the stock, as
the large city banks had many obligations
TO maintain which prevent them from usine
all OF their money. The board then took
the case under advisement.

Report that Horizontal Increase of
Marion County Assessments Is Con-
tempIated Discussed.
TAX IS TOO HIGH AT PRESENT
BROKERS SAY THE COUNTY PAYS
MORE THAN ITS SHARE NOW.
They Are Prepared to Make Or
ganixed Protest Before the Tax
commissioners.

Representative Indianapolis real-estate
brokers say there will be organized an
influential opposition to the State Board OF
Tax Commissioners making a horizontal
increase in the real estate assessment OF
Marion county. Several reports have been
I'm circulation this week to the effect that
the State Board of Tax Commissioners IN
tended to make a horizontal raise OF the
Marion county assessment.
The assessment of Marion county real
estate is out of proportion now to the as
sessments of the adjoining counties or any
other counties in the State, according to
some of the most prominent real-estate men
of the city, and it is declared this county is
paying much more than its proportionate
share of taxes.
The following figures show the assessment
of Marion county this year and last year
in comparison with the assessment of the
adjoining counties:
