GET LITTLE MONEY.
Auditorium Is Conducted on
Plan of Pay If You Want To.

While the city council is thinking over
the advisa bility of transferring the con-
troll of the auditorium to the Topeka
Pipe Organ association, for the pur-
pose of enabling the association to put
the profits of the building into the pipe
organ fund.- it might be we'll to cite the
fact that the city S management of the
auditorium has not been a brilliant sue
cess. Perhaps somebody else might be
able to do better OF course, the audi
forum was not built as f1nancialven-
ture but to put the city in position to
take care of large conventions. 1t
seems, however, that with good man
agement more money could be realized
from it's rentals.
The exact gross proceeds which the
city has received from the auditorium
during the year 1905 is $541.S9- 1t has
cost the city as much or more than that
amount in janitor bills to keep the
room in good condition, besides the
cost of light and heat, which is about
$25 every time the building is opened
Nobody seems to know exactly why
it is the city gets no more revenue
from the use of the auditorium. Prob
ably the reason is because it is no.
body's business to see that the money is
paid, and because of the lax and un-
businesslike way in which the city
council has granted the use of the
building.
The result is that the records for the
use of the building are very unsatisfac-
tory The city clerk has book In
which he enters the date and purposes
for which the council grants the use OF
the building. He tried to keep a record
of whether or not the use was granted
free or not, but half the time the coun-
Gil did not specify whether the enter
tainment should pay the regular sched-
ule Hence the records are defective,
and do not give a clear idea OF what
shows should have paid, and what ones
should not
All the record the city treasurer has
is of the money which people have
brought and put into his hands as Audi
forum rent Apparently he has no way
of knowing whether the amount paid is
what has been agreed upon Neither Is
he authorized to get out and see that
people pay for the building. The law
provides that the rent must be paid
before the room is opened, but this is a
dead letter. The city treasurer's records
show that he has received money for
the following entertainments on the
dates specified:

The Art of Naming Horses.

! was asked TO give the name for a
horse the other day. This Is not near
so easy as you might imagine. 1t is
very seldom that the name Of horse
is altogether appropriate or Is entirely
satisfactory TO the owner. Striking ex-
amples OF success may be found IN
the astronomer who drives a tandem
and who christene' his leader Apo
gee and his wheeler Perigee, and in
the medical student with similar
team who called his leader 0s Fronts.

The Blue Gnu.

1t would be hard to imagine more
fantastic looking animal than the blue
gnu, which ranges in South Africa
from the Orange river north to Veto
ria Nyanza. 1t suggests to one coming
Unexpectedly upon 1t and seeing it for
the first time sort of impossible
dream creature, n cross perhaps be-
tween buffalo and nightmare. To
the buffalo belong the neck and horns,
but the tail and the hind quarters are
those of horse. The legs are deer's
legs. but the head resembles that Of no
other living animal. There seems to be
no doubt that the wild grotesqueness
Of the appearance of the gnu Is pro
vision Of nature to protect the animal.
When frightened or disturbed these re
markable antelopes so through a series
of strange evolutons and extraordina-
ry postures In order to enhance as
much as possible the oddly and hid
eousness of their appearance and 20
brighten away intruders.

Hidden Tattoo Marks.

An escaped convict was on trial be-
fore a French court, and the question
turned upon his identity with prison
err known to have been tattooed. There
was no appearance Of colored marks
upon his arm, and the question submit
ted to NJ. Leroy, the medico-legal ex-
pert. was whether the man had ever
been tattooed. NJ. Leroy applied strong
friction to the skin of the mans arm.
This had the effect Of bringing out
white lines as cicatrices, with slight
blush tint. BY this means the word
sophie" was plainly legible IN white
marks on the REDEEMED skin. This
proved the identity of the convict.

ANIMAL LANGUAGE.

A sound or gesture mude by an ami

impression and calling out similar

of language. When the rabbit quickly
beats the ground, its fellow rabbits
know that there is danger somewhere.
and they take action accordingly. That
Is rabbit language. When the hunter
initiates the rabbit and thus conveys
the same ideas, he is speaking" the
rabbit language for the time being.
Many animals use signs, which OF
course are understood through the

In its simplest form. 1t expresses but
few ideas. But there are animals
which are capable Of modulating their

gentleman never removes his hat in the
prcsenc, of company either In the
house or oatside. The hat must be
worn constantly during waking hours.
THE hat consists Of wide brim and
crown high enough to contain the
topknot. The hats are made of many
materials and vary in price from s. to
$40. Their form dates back to n time.
centuries ago, when king who was
fearful OF plots and conspiracies de-
vised the head wear ms protection
against his noble enemies. II men
could not get their heads together, he
argued. they could not engage in n
conspiracy, so he issued an edct com

gigantic brims. Then In order TO pre-
vent fighting on the street he ordered
that these hats be made Of thin
porcelain. In case of fight the hat

CANNOT USE THE POLES
COMPANY RESTRAIN
 ED BY oHANcERY COURT.
New Move in War Between Electric Light Organizations of Mont :, gomsry--Must Not String
 Wires on Old Poles.

A now move was made yesterday in the war between the Montgomery Light and Power Company and the Citizens Light, Heat and Power Company, when a petition for perpetual injunction was fled in the Chancery Court for the Southeastern Division by the Montgom- cry Light and Water Power Company to prevent the use of a number of their poles by the rival company for the stringing of wires.
 1t will be remembered that a writ of injunction was granted the old light company by Judge A. D. SayFe of the City Court of Montgomery in Equity, to prevent the new company from string ing wires from a pole on the corner of Commerce Street and Court Square. This was granted on the allegation that the stringing of more wires from this pole honer and endanger the lives of pedes-
 The petition filed yesterday prays the court to restrain the new company from stFinging wires or attaching any other electrical apparatus to any of the poles of the petitioner on Commerce Street South Court, Montgomery, Monroe, North Lawrence, Blbb, Tallapoosa and Coosa Streets, Dexter Avenue and Court Square on the ground that 1t would i'm pair the property and endanger life.
 The petition was granted.
 The new company was denied the fran chise to erect their own poles by the City Council, but a committee was ap- pointed to inspect the poles of the old company and ascertain which poles could stand more wiring.

 FIXES RAILROAD VALUES.
largest Share of Burden Will Fall or Southern Railway State 0hl- cials Have Not Finish
 ed the Work.

The assessment of railroad property in Alabama has been increased over a mil.
 lion dollars by the state Board of Assess ment.
 It is thought that this increase win
 amount to a million and 8 half dollars work. Some returns from railroad com panies have not yet been received by the Board. Until these come in the assess ment books cannot be closed. It will then he several days before the detailed worx
 pf the Board is made public. Another session of the Board was held yesterday. It was attended by the Gov ernor. the Auditor, the Treasurer, the Secretary of State and the Attorney-Gen-
 eral. After the meeting. while the mem-
 bers could not discuss the details of the Boards assessment, they stated that the increase of the assessment of railroad property would reach a million dollars. It was also said that before the assess ment books were finally closed the in- crease might amount to nearly a million and a half dollars.
 It Is reported that the Southern Rail- way bears 2 large per cent Of this n. so much per mile, At last years meeting the mileage assessmenet of the Louis- vile and Nashville was increased, but little increase was marked up against the Southern. This year, it is said, the South ern bears the larger share of the increase. There were some decreases In assess ments, but they were small in the main. In the past three years. or since the be- ginning of the administration of Governor Jelks. the assessment of railroad prop erty in Alabama has been increased s5.00o.- O00. This increase of $5,000,000 has been made in three annual meetings of the Board of Assessment.
