SPECIAL LEVY
TO BE REPAID
City Attorney Long Informs
Supervisors Of Passage
of Necessary Amendment
CLAIMS MUST BE FILED
Taxes for Schools and Hos
pitfalls to Be Returned to
the Amount of $350,O0O

City Attorney Long yesterday noti-
fed the Board of Supervisors that the
amendment recently passed by the
State Legislature extending the time
within which taxes enormously or IL
legally collected may be refunded
from six months to three years has
been signed by the Governor and is
amendment affects the special levy
for schools and hospitals, of which
some $685. 900 is now due the tax
payers. 1t was prepared by City At
torney Long and his assistants. For
the information of taxpayers who will
now be enabled to collect their claims
from the city Long issues the follow
ing statement:
That amendment was drafted and
passed for the purpose of permitting
your board TO refund the taxes paid
under the assessment of 1902 for the
construction of additional school
buildings and a new county hospital,
which assessment was declared by
Judges Seawel and Sloss in the action
Of Whitney VS.. city and county of San
Francisco to be illegal and void. It's
effect. in a word. is to give the tax
payer opportunity to recover the
amount he enormously paid any time
within three years from the date of
payment.
l am informed that payment of the
tax here in question was made by
some taxpayers to the Assessor as
early as April, 1902. In such cases
provision should be made at an early
date to refund these payments, for, to
come within the letter of the amend
ment, all claims for refunding should
be made within three years after the
date of payment. In these instances
where payment was not made until
November, 1902. there is, of course,
ample time within which to file
claims.
An important provision Of section
1904 as amended is that payment shall
be made only on the presentation of
a verified claim-that is, on claim
that has been sworn to. The language
Of the section in this regard is: No
order Of the Board Of Supervisors to
refund taxes, penalties or costs shall
be made except upon a verified claim
therefor filed within three years af-
ter the making Of the payment sought
to be refunded This provision makes
IL essential, and indispensably so, that
all claims for the return of taxes be
verified and that they be filed within
the time limited in the section. Each
verified claim should be accompanied
with the tax receipt showing the pay
ment of the money sought to be re-
turned.
Il would suggest that your board
give this matter your early attention
and that you take such steps as you
deem most practicable to give effect
to the amendment, keeping in mind
the necessity for strict compliance
with it's terms. All possible publicity
should be given to it so that those en-
titled to recover their taxes should
have full notice of the method of Ill
ing their claims and of the necessity
Of filing them within three years after
the date they made payment to the
Assessor or the Tax Collector.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful Ii Is
in Preserving Health and Beauty.

in Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest ana most efficient
6isinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
You take Of it the better: 1t is not a
drug at all, but simply absOrbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetcEs the breath after
smoking drinking or after eating
onions and other odOrOus vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as q natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels: il
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison OF catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges: they
are composed OF the finest powdered
Willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptlcs IN tablet form or rather in
the form Of large, pleasant tasting
lozengers, the charcoal being mixed
The daily use Of these lozenges will

Of the general health, better complex

and the beauty OF it is. that no pos
sible harm can result from their con-
tinued use, but on the contrary, great
benefit.

the benefits Of charcoal. says: Il ad-

W. D. Kinsey. said that he was much in favor 0f the bond issue and hopes to see it go through.
 q certainly think that the extra tax wuld be more than justified by the good derived from the sewer. One good argument on this point is the expense of the. cesspOois which every one in town have on their premises. The expense of digging two of these pools which possibly last for a week or two, will more than pay the tax assessed on the sewer for two years. Many of the people who are taken into court for maintaining nuisances are not to blame for the condition of their property. for where else have they to pour out the stops and accu- mulafed filth. except in cess pools on their premises or in the Foadsz am very heartily in favor of the bond issue and municipal control of tthe sewer.

One Dollar Saved Represents Te, e Dollars Earned.

The average man does not save to exceed ten per cent of his earnings. He must spend nine dollars in living expenses for every dollar saved. That being tfe case he cannot be too care ful about unnecessary expenses. Very ofteT few cents properly invested, like buying seeds for his garden, will save several dollars outlay later on. It is the same in buying Chamberain's Colic, Cholera and DiarThoea Remedy. It costs but few cents. and bottle of it in the house often saves a doc tors bill of several dollars.

 'There is nothing in my opinion which will in any way take the place of the sewer. A more rigid enforce ment of the existing sanitary laws might help to some extent however. !"
 T am not a property owner, but I am a tax payer and feel that it is my right to express myself on the subject of a sewer system. said Wn. Bywater.
 -I believe that a sewer would do away with typhoid fever to some ex- tent and would help in keeping down other infectious diseases. At any rate it would make the city very much more sanitary and a strictly sanitary city is what every individual in the community wants. I don't see how il could be kept from helping. to some extent anyway, for everyone knows that typhoid fever originates from germs which are generated by the filthy, unsanitary conditions which surround us here in Bisbee. and this sewer would do away with these con- ditions to some extent at least.
 'T don't believe there is anything outside of the sewer which will do any permanent good"

F. Frazee said that he was very much in favor of a sewerage system for Bisbee, but the first essential thing was the public ownership of a water system.
 The sewer would do away with ty phoid fever tos some extent, as a mat ter of course, and would. he believed be as good an investment for the peo pie as could be made. A sewer with out the water necessary to flush il would nor do much good, however. .
 There is no way to have he -efhy city without Q sewer. but it would be the most perfect folly 10 vote the bonds for the installation of a sewer age system if there was not sufficient water supply to carry off the filth This would simply collect in the sew CT and make the town more unhealthy | if possible. than it is at present.

The FRIEND OF CHOPIN.
Beautiful Countess Who Sang 70 Com
fort Chopin As he Died-Was
Hi Conhdante.

As the great Chopin lay dying,
his soul was ushered out by the
song of the beautiful Countess
Delphine POtOcka, who had been
his dearest confidente and friend,
declares the Delineator. The rO-
nance of their friendship, one Of
the sweetest in history, is related
by Gustave KObbe. The last tragic
scene in the life of the composer
has often been described, and has
been painted by BarriOs, but it is
so touching that one may we'll read
another version Of it. Mr.. Kobbe
writes:
"Then came what is perhaps the
most touching scene that has been
handed down to, US from the lives
of the great composers. When
Delphine entered what was soon to
be the death chamber Chopin's sis.
ter Louise and a few of his most
intimate friends were gathered
there. She took her place by Lou.
Use. When the dying man opened
his eyes and saw her standing at
the foot Of his bed, tall, slight,
draped in white, resembling a
beautiful angel and mingling her
tears with those of Louise, his lips
moved and those nearest him,
bending over to catch his words,
heard him ask that she would
sing.
Mastering her emotion by a
strong effort of the will, she sang
in a voice of bell-like purity the
canticle to the virgin attributed to
Stradella-sang it so deNOutly, so
ethereally, that the dying man,
artist and lover of the beautiful
to the very last whispered in &c.
stacy: How exquisite! Again.
again.
"Once more she sang-this time
a psalm by Marcello. 1t was the
haunted hour of twilight. The dy
ing day draped the scene in its mys
FERROUS shadows. Those at the
bedside had sunk noiselessly OIL
their knees. Over the mournfu
accompaniment of sobs floated the
voice of Delphine like a melod,
from heaven"

ESntr 70 Which Carl Bsrgmann Seems
70 Have the Best Title-In-

The honor Of disclosing to the
American public the greatness Of
RicBard Wagner has been claimed
by several persons, says w. j.
Henderson, in Munsey's. OF late
the name Of Leopold DamrOsch
has been given with much SINGER
ny as that of the man to whom
che distinction is really due. Dr..
DamrOsch did something, and
that something was not a little,
toward making known the high
artistic Importance Of the music
dramas Of the genius of VAIN

had preceded him in the labor.
The earliest devoted adherent in
this country of the mighty COM
poser of Tristan and Isolde" was
the man whose place at the head Of
the Philharmonic society DIR.
DamrOsch was elected to fill
Carl Bergman.
A hard-headed German must
can, an enthusiast, a military des.
pot in the tone world and a de-
termined advocate of Wagnerian
art was this man. He was born
in Eisenach, the birthplace of
Bach, in 1921, and he came to this
country as a member of the Ger

POSTAL SERVICE IMPROVES
1t Has Made Surprising Strides in
Efficiency Since 1747 in the
United States.

The change in postal arrange
ments in New York since "the good
old times" may be seen by the fol
lowing advertisement, copied from
BradfOrd's New York Gazette of
December 6, 1747:
Cornelius van Denburgh as AL
bany Post designs to set out for the
first time this winter on Thursday
next. All letters to go by him are
desired to be sent to the post Office
or to his house near the Spring
Garden"
During Hudson river navigation
the Albany mail was transmitted
by ships, but in the winter a mes
senger, as above mentioned, was
required, and it is probable that he
travelled on foot. The winter aver
age of the eastern and southern
mails is given in the same paper
and same date, as follows:
"On Tuesday the Tenth Instant
at nine O'clock in the Forenoon the
Boston and Philadelphia Posts SCI

their stages once a Fort'nite dur
