STATES ASSESSED VALUATION
LESS THAN LAST YEAR.
LIES IN LIVE STOCK
Reduction Of Over Seven Millions
Resulting from Decreased Values
Placed on Cattle.

Although there has been a marked
decrease in the assessed value OF per-
sonal property in the state subject
to taxation, as compared with last
year, a gain of over $3,O0O,OOO has
been made in the valuation of real
estate.
AS shown by a table prepared by
J. J. RYAN, clerk of the state board
of equalization, there is a loss OF 81
2333, 4S8 in the taxable valuation this
year, exclusive of the railroads. The
largest decrease is caused by the re-
duction in the valuations placed upon
livestock, resulting from an agree
ment made by the assessors at their
last meeting, which shows a falling OH
of $7,416,823. The total valuation OF
the real and personal property in the
state this year is, as shown by the
reports of the assessors of the differ-
ent counties, $163, 657, 1874, compared
with $165, 891,1 1872 last year.
The real estate valuations this year
show a total of $94, 4O4, $50, as against
$91, 281,491 for 1908: The personal
property valuations for 1908 were $74,-
6O9, 976, while this year they are only
S69. 252, 976. These figures are sub
ject to revision by the respective
county boards Of equalization.

Professional Tramps Too Numerous


OF late Rocky Ford has been annoyed
by an unusual number of tramps. some Of
whom have been most insolent in their
demands for square meals. n some
cases women have been frightened by the
manners Of these unwashed callers. A
double purpose is served by the city
authorizes in so setting these wanderers To
cleaning the streets-they are made to
work and Rocky Ford given reputation
not encouraging TO the congregation o I
hoboes. Marshall Baldwin is friend to
every man who wants to work and has
gone to much trouble 10 find placs for
honest inqairers for work. But he has no
patience with the professional tramp and
has good eye for sizing up tho wishes Of
the transients. That group OF stree,
cleaners was watched by an armed guard
caused some criticism. There's nothing
unusual about that. and the only reason
for not having man behind gun would
be that the tramps would have better
opportunity TO skip.

When to Rest.

It is the besetting weakness of wo- mankind, and particularly of American womankind, to keep going" as the phrase runs, just as long as the bodily strength will permit and long after the common sense limit of endurance has been passed. Doctors and nerve spe- sialists in particular admit that a very large proportion of their patients, and by far the most hopeless ones, are wo- men who, worn almost to extinction in the social treadmill, have neverthe- less declined to heed natures ominous warnings and so have finally been compelled to yield supremacy to that ogre of modern times~-nerve prostra- ton. Society women, however, are not the only victims, for there are many to be found among the ranks of the toilers and the housewives, and these are in tue most pitiable case of all, for the reason that circumstances often will not permit them to rest when they would.-Exchange.

POLICE COURT DOINCS.
Salvation Army Lodging House Fur.
 nished Victims This Morning.

Lodgers at the Salvation Army bar racks On South Main street furnished all the business for this mornings ses- sion of the city court, at which Judge Peasley presided. John Powers and Thomas Thaler, who are familiar with all the quiet hooks and corners at the palatdal residence on Whalley avenue, New Haven, had their fight ing jags on last night and created big disturbance at the Army's lodg- ing house. They wanted to clean out the entire place, but the managers of the house intervened and then Thaler and Powers turned their attention to them. An awful rumpus ensued. Shrieks rent the air. The managers and the toughs became locked in not friendly embrace and they rolled about the rooms and even down a flight of stairs. The row was ended by the arrival of Officer Moore, who ar rested Powers Thaler was arrested by Detective Keegan. This morning both were sentenced to six months in jail.
 William, Finn was in the lodging house last night when Officer Hickey paid an unexpected visit to the place and arrested him. He was charged with theft from the person of Edward Loucks. Loucks had been treating Finn to the best that was at Frank Brothers during the evening. When Loucks started to go to the Army's barracks for the night, Finn said that he would lead him there. As they were going down South Main street Finn put his hand in Loucks pocket and took what money he had d-six dollars. This act was noticed by Bernard Riley, who has done service for UERle Sam in the Philippines, and he informed the police The result was that Finn was arrested and this morning he was bound over to the su- perior court under bonds of $500 on the charge of theft. For drunken ness he was fined S5 and costs.

Drop a coin in the slot, and there falls down into horizontal position 8 leather-covered couch pro- vided with a comfortable rug.
