OVER s4,OOO MEN.
Will Pay Militory Tax-Noarly 1000
 More Than Last Year.

Hartford. Oct 22.-The number of men in the state liable to pay military communication tax of $2 in lieu Of the performance of military duty is S4, ,44f, according to the returns of selectmen to the adjutant-general of the military enrolment made last January. The number returned in January, 1903, was S3,537, showing a gain of $40. The revenue to the stlte from this source last year was $151 ,229. and this year. if the towns deduct 10 per cent as al lowed by law, it will be $152O59. Not all the towns, however, deduct 10 pei cent, as the language of the law only permits the deduction of so much of the tax as is uncollectibIe, not to ex- ceed 10 per cent, and the revenue this year will be in excess of the amount given above. The tax is payable be. fore November 10.
 communication tax should increase year ly with the increase of population, but singular fact is, that according to the returns filed with the adjutant-gen. eral and accepted by him, this year's enrolment shows a smaller number liable than in three years during the past decade, 1879, 1899 and 1901. The number in each year since 1893 Is as follows: 1894, 76,97O; 1895, S1,4S0, 1896, S1, 1884; 1897, S5,504; 1898, s3,644, 1899. S5,S61; 1900, S4,354; 1901, SC, ,169; 1902. S4,O99; 1903, S3,537. It will be noted that there was big jump in the number, about 5000, from 1894 to 1895 and from 1896 to 1897, but 1898 fell off. The year of a presidential election, through the number of voters recorded, gives considerable data from which to compute whether the select mems returns are accurate.

ANCIENT NEGATIVE A FAKE
Hard Headed Business Man, Victim of Camera Fad, Is Fleeced
 by Old-Time Game.

A case has just come to light in Paris which once more demonstrates how a man full of hard-headed capacity in business may be exceedingly gullible in his fads. A wealthy merchant, much smitten with amateur photography, per mitted himself to be persuaded by u plausible young acquaintance that the art was known to the ancients. To clinch his statement the young man sub mitted queer-loolSing negative, which he pronounced to be that of Caesars wife," and the merchant, being in his hobby as far above suspicion as that fla nous lady herself, not only swallowed the story whole, but, like Oliver Twist, asked for more, which was speedily forthcoming. He was told that in "a village near Cairo" was distinct photo of Sesostris, and innocently gave his friend G280 to bring it. Unhappily, when the emissary was supposed to be among the pyramids his dupe met him at a bachelors gathering in Montmartre. Then the murder was out, but fear of ridicule overcame the sense of loss and the fieeced victim shrank from prosecut- ing.

 Notes mt Newark, N. y.
 NEWARK, N. J., Oct 22-A bold robbery, followed by the flight of the thief and his fatal wounding by a bull let from his own revolver, excited the neighborhood of Prospect and Ferry streets in this city.
 A well dressed young man entered the J. s. Mundy hoisting works at 72 Prospect street about o'clock. It was pay day in the factory, and in the of flee, on the second floor of the building, was about $2,O0O in bank notes.
 Shortly after the strange young man entered the factory the cry of sStop thief" was raised in the office. The intruder had snatched quantity of bills, about $1 ,500.
 As the fugitive ran along, Prospect street the number of his pursuers grew. He was fleet of foot and kept well ahead for about a hundred rods, but as he neared the New Jersey Central rail- road bridge over Ferry street the shouts of the mob behind caused con- siderable crowd to form in the fugi- tive's path, and he saw that he was cornered
 He drew revolver from his pock- ct, raised it and fred Whether he meant to shoot over his shoulder it the mob or to commit suicide could not be told from his action, but the bullet en- tered his own head, passing in at one ear and out at the other.
 The dying man fell almost into the arms of Patrolman Blewitt, who was leading the chase. He was taken to the hospital, about four blocks away, where it is said he is dying.
 The $1,5OO that he had snatched at the Mundy factory was found in one of his pockets. Before he lost con seriousness he was able to say that his name was James Wilson and that he had no home.

 Robber Suspects.


 RobBer Suspects.
 ST. LOUIS, Oct. 22.-In desperate battle here between five detectives and three suspects whom they were en- deavoring to arrest one detective was killed and two seriously injured and one of the suspects was killed and two others badly wounded.

Blair, fugitive, shot four times through the head; Harry H. Vaughn, fugitive. badly beaten about the head by detectives when he sought to aid his friends in battle
 The fight occurred in the front room of house on Pine street, and the men whom the detectives sought to arrest are suspected of being implicated in a train robbery at Centralia, Ills, few weeks ago.
 The house had been under police sur veillance for several days, but this was the first time that any of the suspects were seen to enter or leave.
 Blair made statement that he, Rose and others had been seated in the room when the door was opened and the de tectives entered.
 Blair, noting the fact that Detective Shea had his revolver drawn. pulled his own gun and emptied it into the faces of the invaders.
 He shot six times without a pause. There were no misfires, and so close were the suspects and detectives that the powder from Blair's gun burned their clothes
 A late dispatch says that Detective Dwyer, shot through the breast in the fight, has died at the hospital.
