Limit the Number of Cries.

To the Editor Of The Star:
AS this so-called huckster business seems
to be vital question may | have a finger
in the pie? Being neither a huckster nor
a housekeeper who is dependent on one
my views are impartial. In passing would
say that 1 didn't like your correspondents
complaint. Every wife and housekeeper
knows that 1.-The way to a mans heart is
through his stomach so man should be
the last one to put obstacles in that rugged
path we women try so hard to climb. He
should not cavil at what Is done for his
ultimate benefit, FOR what woman ever mar
keted and cooked for her pleasure? But to
continue. The huckster is indispensable TO
many housewives. They have not the time
to go to the often distant market or tho
strength to lug home the heavy basket
or a nurse to for the babies, who can
neither be left nor dragged along Your
correspondent says there are the green gro
cers-here is another proof that he wrote
without due reflection. The green grocers'
prices are Invariably higher than the huck-
sters'. and for no better wares which
means something to the poor woman whose
pennies have to do the duty of richer peo-
pies dimes and quarters. The kind-heart-
ed Commissioners, who are always pouring
oil on our troubled waters, suggest the
huckster moderate his tone, but who is to
decide whether tone Is moderate or not?
Instead. why not limit the number of his
cries. for even a child knows the differ
ence between one and two? Why not have
him cry his wares three times to a block
instead of three times to every house, os
one is doing at this very moment; and
must admit his cries do split the silence in
a truly exasperating way. But three times
to block wouldn't make noise enough to
disturb any one, and the housekeeper who
was listening for that cry would hear 1t
without fail, for those in the street don't
realize how every sound out there pene-
trates to the remotest corner Of the house.

Operations May be Resumed.

The Mckinley mines, located near
Ely, which have been in process Of
for several years, have pass
ed back to their original owners
Mrs. William Mckinley, her sister and
their associates. several of them be-
ing near relatives of the late Presi-
dent of the United States and heirs
Of Geo. ID. Sexton, deceased. In 1901,
Mrs. Mckinley and her associates
sold the mines to the Mckinley Min
ing and Smelling Company, a company
promoted by Dix w. Smith. He failed
to live up to the terms OF the sale,
the property was mismanaged, ami
finally the members OF the old COM
pany were forced to throw it into the
hands of the sheriff, and buy it back
for $125,OO0. The six months in which
the promoter had to redeem the prom
erty has passed and the sheriff's dee /
is now binding. The property consists
of about twenty claims, mill and
several valuable water rights.

OFF THE MAP.
Hawthorne and SodaviIIe are Counted

Off by the G. & c. r. r.
The C. & C. R.. R. has decided to
count Hawthorne and Sodaville OF
the railroad map in the new plans
that are being put into effect by the
improvements of the railroad. 1t has
been the general belief for some time
that Hawthorne would be left to one
side, but the decision to cut Sodaville
out of the central section is new
turn of affairs.
About three miles this side Of Soda

oped some of the best well water
found in the south and in consequence
Of the find a new town is to be built
which will be the end of the division.
of greht source. as pumping has failed
to drain it and other wells are being
dug to supply the new town.
Parties in Hawthorne have been
given notice that the railroad would
move the people to the new camp
free Of charge up to certain time.
Town lots will be given those affect
ed by the move and the same rule
that prevailed when Wadswarth was
deserted for Sparks will be applied.
The moving of the town will take
place. in the next sixty days, which
means that Esmeralda will have an
other town inside its borders.
At Sodaville the work of tearing
down the depot is in progress, the
timbers and lumber being moved to
the new town. The railroad Offices
and building will all be moved and in
place before many days.
The move makes Sodaville merely
a way station on the line of the road,
and the merchants and others who
have property at the place naturally
feel discouraged at the outlook.
When railroad abandons place
it surely gives it black eye for some
time, which has been shown in this
State during the last year or more or
since the railroads have taken the
kinks out of their right of way. Haw-
thorne has little or nothing left to
recommend it outside of the fact that
is he county seat, which in all prob
ability will be moved when the next
legislature convenes. Sodaville has
a few mines close by which are prom
Using well and this may maintain the
town and it has a chance to grow
and prosper.

Tuscarora is about to take her place
again among the lively mining camps
of the west. A force of men has been
put to work in the Commonwealth
and preparations are being made to
pump out the Dexter. Each of these
mines has produced millions and are
known to contain immense bodies Of
ore, but since the encountering of wa

came simultaneously. they have lain
dormant. For several months expel Us

shafts there were large bodies of
rich ores Systematically worked

PURCHASING BONDS.
The State Invests in More Massachu.
sets Interest Bonds.

Yesterday the state Board of Edu-
cation held a meeting to determine
how to invest $4,000 worth of State
money for the school fund. The
money has accumulated in the State
Treasury and in order to get some
good from it it was decided to invest
in either United States or Massachu-
sets State Bonds.
The discussion on which bond Of
fering the best interest was long and
great deal of figuring was entered
into. In the afternoon session the
Board came to the decision and the
result is that Massachusetts bonds,
bearing interest at IL per cent, but
as they run from 35 to 40 years, it was
considered better investment than
the U. S. Bonds, which are at high
er permium and of shorter duration.
The amount to be invested is about
1925 900 which will help swell the
school fund, anr = the State is grow
ing and the school districts increasing

will come in handy when Supt. Ring

will be opened Immediately for the

for the alleged murder Of Mrs. Kate
Falzinger on August 6, 1903.
Adolph Bloch declared to the autnor-
tiles to-day, after the item had been
read to him, that he himself killed Mrs.
Falzinger, and that the brother who
had been hanged was guiltless. Bloen
is a millworker, reads newspapers put
little, and says he knew nothing OF the
trial, conviction and execution OF MS
brother until to-day.
The murder of Mrs. Falzinger was
brutal one. Her throat was cut ana mel
dead body was found hours after tht
crime Eugene Bloch was arrested. lie
claimed that Mrs. Falzinger had beer
attacked by a stranger, and that she
was trying to defend the woman when
she was killed. Adolph Bloch says his
brother knew him to be guilty and suf-
fered death rather than betray him.
When brought to the jail here tonight
Bloch was in a state of collapse. He
gave out statement in which he ac-
knowledged his guilt and expressed
the hope that no mercy would be shown
him for the terrible crime he commit
ted. The Allentown officials who were
communicated with this evening over
the long distance telephone. said il
was impossible that an innocent man
should have been hanged for the Fail.
Finger murder. Later tonight Bloch
recovered his nerves to some degree
and declared to the authorities that the
whole story was joke. Later, h9w-
ever, he repudiated this and reiterated
his guilt.

after on the first day Of June next aft

until they are paid, at the rate of nine
per cent. per annum shall be collected
| This motion was seconded by Mr.. Kelly
After the above motion had been
made it was discussed for some time
and some of the members showed that
they were opposed to it. Mayor Stud
ley said that in his opinion such mo-
ton, if adopted, would work out hard
ship on many poor taxpayers. Mr..
Herr said that it was evident that If
any change whatever was made it was
bound to work hardship on some one.
Mr.. Rowe suggested the sinking fund
proposition as did also Mr.. Herr, both
being in favor of it. Both Mr.. Kelly
and Mr.. Fredericks said they were OPP
posed to this plan.
Finally Mr.. Lewis called for the ques'
ton on his motion and it was decided
to take an aye and nay vote. The mo-
ton was then lost by a vote of to 4,
the members voting as follows:
In favor Messrs. Porter, Maxwell,
Kelly and Lewis. Opposed, Messrs.
Studley, Rowe, Fredericks, Nesbit and
Herr.
After some more talk Mr.. Rowe made
compromise motion to the effect that
the motion of Mr.. Lewis be adopted
with the change in time in which taxes

TO May l. The motion was seconded
by Mr.. Lewis and was unanimously
carried.
The original resolution presented by
Mr.. Lewis advanced the date of pay
ment of taxes six months. The mo-
ton made at last nights meeting by
Mr.. Lewis advanced the date of pay
ment three months, and the prevailing
motion advanced the date two months.
This is just one-third of.what Mr.. Lewis
aimed at in his original motion.
The city taxes, under the present con-
ditions, are due in July and must be
paid before September 1. The citys
financial year commences on the first
of January. Under this condition of
affairs the. city has found it necessary
to borrow 100000 to tide it over the
six months until the taxes are collect
ed. Mr.. Lewis plan was originated for
the purpose of attempting to do away
with the necessity of borrowing this
money. After the expiration of the time
needed in making the change, had the
original plan been adopted, Mr.. Lewis
claims, there would be no more need Of
borrowing. Under the amendment
presented by him. last night the sum
could be cut down to 100000; and UNI
| der the plan adopted it will only be
necessary to borrow 100000. ~.

the city charter it will have no effect

paid one month earlier, and it would
also be made one month earlier still in
