SOAes Ihnt Passed Between

Noltaire and Rousseau, though ON
friendly terms, were In tho habit OF
hiring off pointed jokes at n another.
One day Rousseau was dining with
Noltaire, and oysters were brought on
u table, for, as somebody has remark
cd, no dinner could be complete with
out them. The author of Emile" aft

the somewhat injudicious remark:

Rousseau did not soon forget the lit
tic joke ut his expense and sought an
opportunity for revenge. Not long aft

open, he walked into the iSJrnry, and.

THE USE OF CHECKS
COLLECTOR WITHOUT AUTHORITY
no RECEIVE THEM FOR TAXES.
Opinion Regarding Payments for the
Redemption Of Property-Appeal
Case Decided.

An opinion which is regarded as OF con-
siderable Importance in connection with the
redemption of property sold for taxes by
the District was submitted to the Commits
sioners by Assistant Corporation Counsel
A. Leftwich Sinclair today. Mr.. Sinclair
holds that a check dated and mailed on the
last day of the period fixed for the redemp-
ton of property Is unavailable for the re-
demption of the property, and, further. that
the collector of taxes has no authority UNI
der the law to receive checks in payment OF
taxes at any time
The specific case upon which an opinion
vss requested was that of Thomas Walker,
who, as attorney for the owner of lot 9 in
block / of Barry Farm subdivision. on the
18th day of April last mailed to the col
lector of taxes check for $2o.45. the
amount of the taxes and penalties against
the land which had been sold for taxes
April 16, 1902 The two years fixed for the
redemption of property sold for taxes at. the
1902 sale expired April IT, but as that date
fell ON Sunday the period for redemption
was held to have expired on the following
day. April 49, The collector of taxes stated
that he did not receive Mr.. Walkers check
until Tuesday. April 3D. and the District Of
fetal thereupon returned to Mr.. Walker his
check, stating that the time for redemp-
ton OF the property HAD expired.
Mr.. Walker appealed to the Commission

EVOLUTION AND DEvoLUT1oN.
Representative Gibson of Tennessee
Discusses Negro Race Possibilities.

Representative Henry r. Gibson of
Tennessee lectured at Union Wesley A. NJ.
E. Zion Church last evening on the subject
of THE Evolution and Devolution of the
Races" Quite large congregation greeted
the speaker, who held the attention OF his
auditors during the entire course of his
remarks.
Mr.. Gibson began his address by giving
review of the development of the races
as a, whole, and proceeded on a line of
argument to show them to be separate
and distinct from each other by clearly
defined lines He then brought out the
evolution of the races upon the theory that
each and every man, whether white or
black, must wohk out his own salvation
and demonstrate through his energy
and intelligence to his fellowman his value
as a citizen. Mr.. Gibson spoke very hope
fully of the negro, and said he expected to
hear great things of the future develop
nlent of the race.
Mr.. Gibson predicted that the home OF
the negro within 200 years would be I'm the
heart of Africa. He declared that this
was an available field for the neRro's
usefulness, and that his highest ideals
could be accomplished there. He spoke of
the negro race as an industrious one, but
said shirkers occasionally get into the
fold. He represented the shiftless and dis
reputable negro as the black sheep" and
thought that If this type of shiftlessness
and laziness in the negro race were eradi-
Gated, there would be no reason to stigma
tie 1t as is done at the present time.
The speaker assured his hearers that he
was friend of the negro. and said the
Creator had placed him upon the Ameri-
can continent for the purpose of civilizng
him. He concluded his remarks by COM
plimenting the race for the strides IL has
made, and said that the worlds progress
would find it accomplishing greater things.

The Statutory Period.

Mr. Sinclair states that 1t is well estab-
ished that person cannot redeem prop
erty which has been sold for taxes after
the expiration of the statutory period
IT am of the opinion" said Mr.. Sinclair,
that Mr. Walkers check is unavailable
for the redemption OF the property in
question. and that it was properly reject
ed by the collector of taxes. 1t came too
late. Mr. Walker would not be entitled
to redeem his property, as matter OF
law, if his check had been received by the
collector of taxes on the 18th Of April, I'M
less the money which the check called for
was actually collected on that day, for, as
was held by the court in the case OF
Koones against the District of Columbia
and others the collector of taxes for the
District has no authority under the law
to receive checks in payment of taxes
s@rhe court in this case, referring TO the
effect of a payment by check, says. III
is but in itself a conditional payment, to
be ripened into an actual payment, pro-
vided the check be honored by the bank
But the probability that that conditional
payment may be ripened into an actual
nayment does not advance a single step
toward the establishment of right or
public officer in the character of agent OF
the public to surcharge the public with
additional risk In respect to the coilection
OF it's public dues.
1t is stated that in the past when
checks have been received in payment OF
taxes the collector has not given the
owner of the property a receipt for ms
taxes until after the money Tor Wh1ch
the check was drawn had been actually
collected 1t is suggested that the opin-
ion of the corporation counsel in this case
may possibly result in the establishing OF
certain specific rules with regard to the
acceptance of checks in payment for
taxes.

VICTORY FOR NEITHER SIDE.

1t is stated that the decision just rem

Jurisdiction of stone setting in the Dis

many points and each required separate

others went to the stone cutters.
The ruling is considered by labor leaders
as a wise one, and 1t is thought that IL 1t
is adhered to the dispute will be perma-
nently adjusted to the satisfaction of both
parties. 1t is expected that it will be rati-
fed at a conference of the members of
the two unions next Monday evening. The
