the very idea of direct taxation, but
he is condemned by an unfeeling

that would mean yearly increasing
bill for taxes. But in a French Ca
madam village the veriest tyro in
politics understands that, whatever
else the councillors may do, they must
not spend money. The real estate in
a parish not far from Q-"hec is as
sessed at 100000. The whole munic-

there is county council composed
of the mayors of all the municipalities,
who have to keep few bridges in re-
pair and so forth; but the taxes which
they demand only come to about $500
for the whole county
But there is also the local school
board. This is a great nuisance, for
it draws on the parochial purse to the
extent of something like $500 year.
Out of that sum the school commits

$500 to the young woman who pro-

are more economical, and the poor

The Trappists, those silent monks

The monks are always most hospit-

Following the strict rule of their
order, these monks lead the most
austere lives. They eat only bread
and vegetables, and drink nothing but
water; they rise at o'clock every
morning and lash their bodies with .
knotted whip every Friday; they de.
vote their whole time to farm labor
and devotional exercises; and they
never speak to one another except te
utter the salutatory warning. "Memen

- EFT among magnificent old trees
and surrounded by an old-fash-
~ Toned garden. the house shown
in the picture is a perfect ex-
ample Of the comfortable farmhouses
built by the early Dutch settlers in
New Jersey.
This particular home has the inter
est of age. The present year is its
second centennial. AT one end cut
deep into the great purple redstone
of which the house is built, are the
numerals "I7o4,' together with some
initial letters set in circling hearts and
rings. The smaller picture shows
how slight are the changes which
nave been made. The house has been
kept in the most perfect state of pres
ervation, and changes have been made
to bring it in line with the necessities
OF these latter days. But the front
which it presents to the shaded street |
is the same solid, comfortable and at
tractive one it has carried through |
two centuries.
An addition at the side of the rear
was put on about twenty years ago |
1t is a two-story square building with |
shingled sides and a slightly sloping
roof. The exposure to weather has
given to the shingles the beautiful |
silver gray color impossible to OBJ
tain by artificial means. The trim on |
this, as on the original house, is ivory
white.
The little porch on the old house !
has high-backed settles placed on
either side of the door This front
door is low and Hospitality wide. The
interior of the house shows a central
hall, low ceiled, and about ten feet
wide, extending the entire length of
the house, with two doors opening
into rooms on either side.
At the rear of the hall the stairway
rises; its treads and the spindle rail-
ing of the banister are painted white;
the hand rail is of mahogany A low
wainscot of tongued and grooved
four-inch boards extends the length
of the hall and is capped by a mar
row shelf Quaint old fire buckets
hang under the stair. Near the en-
trance stands the tall clock, which has
licked the centuries away A pier
glass table of mahogany is set be-
tween the doors.
The wall of this hall above the
wainscot is covered with sage green
cartridge paper, which tones perfectly
with the soft terra Gotta shade used
on the living room walls and the pale
yellow of the smaller room back of it.

NEW-sTATE PROBLEM.
President Holds conferencs.-H His view
of che Question.

Washington, March 2- President
Roosevelt has had several conferences
with senators and representatives who
are interested in the proposition to
create new states.
1t is understood to be the presidents S
solution of the problem that two new
states be created, one from Oklahoma
and the indian territory and one from
the territories Of New Mexico and Ari-
zona.
The idea does not meet with the APP
2roval of the people in the territories
and their objection to it may delay
statehood legislation. 1t is said the pres
dents idea is in accord with that Of
most of the leaders in both branches Of
congress.
It is pointed out that it is not urged
by the president that all the people, in
Guiding Indians, in the Indian territory,
shall be admitted as citizens, imme-
diately but gradually as the Indians be-
come qualified for citizenship they may
be accorded the rights Of citizenship and
that eventually perhaps the indian ter
rito-y may be erected into a separate
state.

Chicago, March 2.--The accounts Of
the Worlds Columbian exposition OF
1893 We're closed to-day with the pay
ment Of final dividend of 4.65 per cent
to all of the 1000 stockholders. This
payment makes a total of 1465 per cent
in dividends paid on the capital stock.
Many of the stockholders have ex-
pressed their satisfaction at the closing
of the business in this way as it was at
first thought that less than 10 ser cent
dividend would be paid Several suits
against the company are still pending
For this reason $4,000 has been retained
by the officers Of the company to meet
any possible claim against it on the
suits. The amount Is SO small, how
ever, that no further dividends will be
declared should this amount not be paid
out in claims against the company.
1T has been decided by the officers
that any surplus which may remain
after the conlpanys indebtedness has
been paid, will be devoted to some pub
lie work. said Secretary HI. Edmonds
The entire amount disbursed in the
final dividend to-day was $255, ,00O The
$4,000 remaining in the hands Of the
treasurer will amount to about 1 per
cent on each share and all claim for
this money has been relinquished by
the stockholders in signing blank

Clinton, Mass, March 1.-TWO masked
men held up an electric car on the
Worcester Consolidated railway at
South Lancaster late tonight The
men were armed and the twenty pas
sengers in the car were terrified. H.
I. Sauler of Lancaster knocked one of
the highwaymen off the car and a fight
following, during which two shots were
fired by the strangers. The highway
men made their escape. No one was
seriously injured.
The hold-up occurred in a lonely
spot near the Boston & Maine railroad
bridge over Main street. The car was
stopped to allow a passenger to alight
when the highwaymen sprank upon the
rear platform. While one of the two
covered the conductor. the other ordered
the passengers to throw UP their hands.
Sauier, who was standing upon the rear
platform, watched his opportunity and
suddenly struck one of the robbers a
stinging blow in the face. The latter
fell to the ground but regained his feet,
fired two shots, the bullets passing
through the windows of the vestibule,
injuring no one. The other highway
man disconnected by the attack upon
his companion, quickly retreated from
the car. The two men escaped after
firing a few shots to frighten of pur-

Washington, March 2.-The adminis-
tration is puzzled to know how to deal
with Santo Domingo Every report that
comes from the island indicates the ex-
istence there of state approaching an
archy. If there were a capable govern

the state department. would call upon
it to preserve the peace. protect Ameri-

the frequent and annoying interference
with American commerce. But it is said
there is no such government. and the
department is loath to embark upon a
policy of policing the island, and chas-
ing small guerilla bands through the
Jungle. On the other hand it does not
care to create a strong government on
the island by taking sides in the fac
tional struggles now going on.
The whole subject is under serious

which realizes that foreign interests are
looking to the United States to relieve
their own governments of the necessity
of taking hold in Santo Domingo.

FIRSTDAY OF SMOOT INQUIRY
TO AIR INNERMosT SECRETS OF
MORMON FAITH.
Presidents sai:b, IN. Highest omelal Of
the Church, on she stand All Day
Yssssrday-Hs stiIl Believes In rolye-
amy-usmsss latitude TO be Allowed
as to Evidence.

Washington, March 2.-An effort to
air the innermost secrets of the Mor-
mon faith was manifested in the first
days proceedings before the Senate
committee on privileges and elections,
which is investigating the protests
against Reed smoot retaining his seat
as q. senator from Utah. President
Joseph D. Smith, the highest official Of
the church. was on the stand all day.
He was questioned closely in regard
to the divine revelations. He said he
adhered absolutely to all the teachings
OF the church in that regard, and that
he himself had been visited with divine
inspirations from God directing him ais
to details in matters pertaining to tha
welfare of the church, though no angels
had come to him as in the case of the
revelation to his uncle, Joseph Smith,
jr., the founder of the church.
He subscribed to the standard of au-
thority for the church in relation to the
revelation commanding polygamy as
made known to the first president in a.
visit from IAN angel in black" He
also said that he still believed in polyg-
amy The testimony was directed in
a slight degree only at Senator Srnoot,
and no attempt was made by the de-
fense to curtail the admission of testi-
mony until President Smith was ques-
toned in relation to polygarnous co.
habitation of certain officials of the
church before the manifesto of 1890.
The attorneys then objected and much
time was devoted to the relevancy Of
such testimony.
The committee went into executive
session, and after full discussion de-
termined to allow the utmost latitude
to the hearings, which means that
court practices will be avoided The
protestants said they regarded this as
a victory for them, The committee will
hear practically all the prosecution has
to offer and demand for itself what Is
competent testimony.
At an executive session Of the con1-
lnittee following the afternoon hearing
it was decided to meet every day att
a1O:30 a. M, and remain in session until
IL M, meeting again at 2 p. nj and
continuing throughout the afternoon.
Five members, including the chairman,
will constitute a quorum. No effort
will be made to confine the testimony
to the facts as admissible in a court Of
Justice. 1t was determined that the
hearings shall be full and eornp1ef
