code to this effect. When the new reve- nue code was adopted. however. there was an article which revoked all special clauses of the old code. and this was held by William Biakey. Tax Commissioner of Montgomery County. to make null and void the provision in the city charter.
 The matter was called up before the Board of Revenue of Montgomery County who decided that the County license should be paid.
 There however remained disposition to take the case into court and the Taz Commissioner with the agreement of the Street Railway Companies decided to make their cases the tests.
 Mr. Blakey said last night that there are a number of persons in Montgomery who are affected by this decision, whose names. he has handed to Solicitor 8. H Dent for investigation before the grand jury now in session. He said he did not know what provision would be made for the payment of these licenses on account of the matter now being out of his hands and in the hands of the grand jury.

 LICENSE MUST NOW BE PAID
Rules Special Privilege of Montgomery Merchants Under Provision of City Charter Ended With Adoption

Under decision handed down by Judge A. D. Sayre in the civil division of the City Court of Montgomery, taxpayers of Montgomery, who have heretofore been exempt from County licenses on account of a special provision in the charter of the city of Montgomery will have to pay the 50 per cent of the moneys collected for State purposes for the use of the County of Montgomery.
 The matter was submitted to Judge Sayre Saturday in a test case against the Montgomery Street Railway and the Montgomery Traction Company by agree ment of the parties. Judge Sayre handed down a decision by which the companies are liable for County taxes as well as State and city taxes. No formal judg- ment was entered against the two street railroads as the eases were tests.

An Appreciative Reader

Editor The Advertiser:
 The editorial tribute in your issue of Sunday last to Pope Leo XIII was just and true ,as we'll as touching and beau tiful, and was read by your many Catholic readers with grateful pleasure. He is regarded universally, as not only a great man, but good one: a man whose character Is as pure, noble and stainless as his mind is clear, vigorous and masterful. His splendid intellect has commanded the admiration and respect of mankind, without regard to sect or creed, while his blameless life and broad charity have invoked and received their reverence and love. His life. is slowly, but peacefully drawing to close. The frail bark Is gradually drifting towards the shore of ''the undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveller returns" and when it has finally touched one of the great central figures of this and all other centuries will have gone out from among us.

 "Frou Frou" was again presented at the Casino Theatre last night and the large audience was delighted with the performance.
 The play is a story on the order of Camille. and gives the cast ample oppor- tunity to show their dramatic ability. The role of Gilberte Is difficult one, but Miss o'Brien last night proved herself no mean actress and at no time fell short of the requirements of the role.
 MT. Kilgour, as the husband of Gilberte, showed himself a finished actor Miss Ford played the part of Gilbertes sister acceptably, The rest of the company Is well balanced and gave the principals good support:
 This is by far the best show that has appeared at the Casino this season and the public will miss dramatic treat if they fail to see the Kilgour Stock Com pany in "Frou Frou.'
