Tar aud vide FOR their courtesy ana
hospitality. In the past few years,
the young people, and the older
ones too, have been called on for as
sistance in many ways. but "Iime

other marks OF credit or praise, es-
pecially is this true with our young
people.
In the entertainment just given by
st. MarY's Guild Of this city this fact
as apparent-so many young people
gave time end talent to bring about
success. 1t was this willing spirit
that prompted Mrs. Virginia Doyle

week under the stage direction of Miss
Carrie McCune, (who by the way, is
very thorough in her work).

popularity of Ostrich Tips

The demand for ostrich tips is IN

cases they are now chosen to trim the
under side of the brim and the flowers

ostrich used is very little curled. An
arrangement of such tips attached to
the side of an upturned brim and
sweeping downward is called the Evil

the side In this way with dull yellow
tips to match the straw, white around

"In the second trial before the de-

peal for funds has been sent out by

Federation OF labor which gives color
to the latter conclusion.
What the employers take as an In
dication OF the end of the strike was

INTOXICATED AT THE TlME
Believed TO Have Become a Ravina
Maniac Over Drink and Breeding
Over NibiIists Troubles IN Russia
Which Was the Cause Of Murder.

San Diego, May 15.-Armed with a
rife. revolver and dirk, each which
wore used with deadly dexterity. a
mad man ran amuck in this city to-
day killing two men. boy and a wo-
man and wounding two other persons
and finally blowing OF the top of his
own head, dying In a few minutes.
The three victims lived in the same
house with the slayer, the fourth per-
son who he killed and two men who
were wounded, resided a half mile
away and II was In their house that
the maniac took his own life.
The man who enacted this CHASTITY
tragedy was w. p. Robinson. about 40
years old of powerful build and quite
well educated. The precise causes
which led him to the wholesale mur-
der, may never be ascertained. Ii was
known. however that he was heavy
drinker; that ne was intensely inter-
ested in the Nitjllst mOvemdnt in
Russia and that against two or three
of the victims he fancied some petty
grievance. On the other hand. he had
been said TO be ordinary good natured
and inclined to be generous, and one
of the last persons in the world to
take a human life. The general sup
position is that drink and brooding
over the Nihlists brought on an at
tack of homicidal mania.

important Decision Expected from

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Enormous Amount Of Taxes Due the
City from Large Corporations Which
viii Reduce the indebtedness and
Permit Extensive improvements.

New York, May 15.-Twenty-s six
million dollars will be contributed to
the tax fund Of Greater New York il
the decision which Is expected today
from the United States supreme court
Of the franchise tax law should be
favorable to the city.
In the hope Of victory for the city.
Comptroller r. Rout has for the last
three days had his office force busy
preparing completes tabulation of all
the taxes due the city under the fran
ehlse tax law. together with interest
since the law went into effect in 1900.
This is the first tabulation made for
three years, and the totals staggered
the city officials, far surpassing the ex-
pectations even Of Comptroller Grout.
For Manhattan alone the amount
due is s17,sO4,700. which includes ST.
lsSO,20O on the unpaid taxes.
From all the boroughs the total
amount due for taxes alone without
any calculation for interest or penal
ties is s22,l41,Sss. TO this sum there
is to be added about $S,5OO.O00, and at
least another million for penalties
which win raise the total to s2L000.0OO.
These figures bring the amounts due
to June / next.
AS soon as the decision is received
the comptroller will take steps to COLI
lect the' money, IL it be favorable to
the city. ssse
That the city would win the suit
and collect the taxes has been anti
lcipated all along by the officials and
they have made finacial arrangements
accordingly. Consequently defeat
would completely upset all calcula-
tions upon which the city's financial
arrangement shave been made for the
last threa years. Next to the loss to
the city treasury OF s2s.OOo,OOO that
had been counted upon. the most SER
ious result would be the effect on the
debt limit. 1t would cut down the debt
limit by more than one third. The
upholding Of the law would by no
means add s2s,OOo,OOo to the amount
available for use In new improves
ments, as It would be devoted to re-
deeming revenue bonds which have
been issued in anticipation OF its coll
lection.
These bonds will be redeemed as
they fall due and thus the margin Of
the city's indebtedness viii be reduced
by that amount.
