court. The estate has been in court
since 1883, when the petition for sale
was presented. An offer of purchase

pended because the commissioners have
no money available. 1t was suggested
that the estate should be taken out of

not be fair to tenants who were anxious
to purchase. His lordship made orders
respecting tenants who had, and who
had not. complied with an order to pay
half years rent, and also ordered that
until money should be available to en-
able them to buy the tenants should
pay interest at 334 per cent on the esti-
mated purchase price.

DEDICATION OF "BEN-HUR.u
Second Form Explained That Mre.
 Wallace Was Alive.

| Lansing. Mlch--The dedication of
 "Ben-Hur" got Gen. Lew Wallace into trouble. When he was writing the book he told his wife that he expected to ded- icate it to her and that she must furnish the dedication. She wrote the following. which appears in the first edition of the work: ''To the wife of my youth" The book leaped into the public favor at once. The usual penalties of great ness followed. General Wallace began to get hundreds of letters from people who had read the book Among them were scores from women who supposed that the dedication meant that the wife of his youth was dead
 They sympathized with him in the fact that Mrs. Wallace was nov aiive 10 share his fame, and more than one of them hinted that she could be induced to help him to overlook his loss. These letters annoyed General Wallace. When 1t came time to prepare second edition he thought of how he could put a stop to the matrimonial offers.
 You got me into this must" he told Mrs Wallace. You must get me out"
 She was willing and after some thought suggested the addition of a few words to the original dedication, and in all fu- ture editions 1t appears as follows:
 ITO the wife of my youth, who still abides with me-
 So 1t is that lovers of rare books have added this odd first edition to their col lection. The book went into many edi- tions after the first, and 1t Is seldom that one of the first is found. If it has the dedication as first printed above the col l,ctor may be sure that 1t Is a first edi- tion. Alexander Hill of Cincinnati has one of the first editions with flyleaf of a later edition bound in, showing the two styles of dedication

Will Fight for Taxes.

1t will be a merry fight between the state, Richmond county and Augusta on the me fand, against the Georgia Rail- road ant Panking Co.,, on the other for fortune in taxes amounting to a toul sum Of more than s5OO.0O0.
 Comptroller General W. A. Wright has just completed a statement showing the amcunt cf taxes due Richmond county and the city of Augusta on the s1500,- 000 capital stock of the Western Railway of Alabama, owned by the Georgia rail- "oad company.
 The total amount of taxes alleged to bs jue Richmond county on this stock since 1890 Is $l39952 of which s9O S95 is for general and s49.057 for school pur- poses. The total amount of taxes claim ed for the city of Augusta since 1891 Is S221, 2a0 making the total of taxes de- manded for the county of Richmond and the city of Augusta ssel 2o2 Add to this the taxes demanded by the state since 1883. which are s125.974 and the grand total which the Georgia railroad IS called on to pay on this Western of Alabama stock Is s4S7176. There must still be added to this interest at per cent on all amounts due the state since 1s90 which will bring the sum total ,lp to considerable over half a million dollars or an amount equal to one third of the total par value of, the stock in ques- ten.
 Comptroller General Wrieht has just completed n statement of the taxes claimed for Richmond county and for Augusta, copies of which he has for warded to the city and county tax col lectors and to President Jacob Phinizy Of the Georgia Railroad and Banking company. Armed with these the tax col lectors will make demand on President Phinizy for the taxes claimed to be due and upon his refusal to pay them. which is practicallv assured. it is probable levy will be made upon property of the rail- road comnany in Augusta and then the matter will be fought out in the courts.

The lilly who has rounded into form, won in a romp after a rough jour (.ey over the distance.

March 3-(Special)-"We're not the Macon Guards, but we're going to Washington just the same" said Sandy Lockhart colored, captain of Company D, first battalion, Georgia State Troops, colored as he passed through Atlanta yesterday accompanied by about thirty five Macon negroes on their way to Washington to attend the inauguration of President Roosevelt
 It will be remembered that Governor Terrell sat fiat down on the request of Lockhart's military company for per mission to leave the state for the pur- pose of taking part in the inaugural pa- rade.
 That settled it so far as the negro mili tary company was concerned, but it did not stop the Macon negroes from making their trip. They have organized them selves Into what they call the Macon colored Citizens Marching Club" and it is in this capacity that they left for Washington at noon today.
 Lockhart said they expected to be given a good place in the inaugural pa- rade.

The Georgie pension fund for 1905, amounting to sS6O,Oo0, has now been ex- hausted with the exception of about s60.- GOO which will be paid out to the fifteen remaining counties during the present week. In fact, Pension Commissioner J. W. Lindsey hopes to finish up his work by tomorrow night, but allor he does this several counties will still wait some days for their pensions because the money is paid out through Comptroller General w. A. Wright and Secretary of State Phil Cook, who act as agents for the pensioners Commissioner Lindsey was not able to make any positive state ment today, but he believes now the deficit in the pension fund i'll be very small, If anything. on account of the un- usually large death rate. When the pen sion payments were begun 1t was thought the deficit would approach $z5,0U0

 T was told story in little town out on the other edge of the state the other day which bears out this statement
 "A game warden found a man spearing piekerel through the ice. At the side of the little shanty in which the fishing was done lay large pickerel The game war den stole to the hut and threw open the door.
 Did you spear this pickerel? he asked.
 '" I did that
 Did you know 1t is against the law?'
 Well, you see that the fish isn't dead was the assured response. I have been spearing catfish, and that pickerel kept getting in the way I had to jab 1t lightly and lay 1t on the ice until I finish fish ing. Then l will put 1t back

How Russia Makes Madmen

Dr. E. J. Dillon. in Harpers Magazine
 for March.
 Madness is one of the spectres that grin athwart the dim twilight of the granite cells at the lonely prisoner. But some times madmen are set free. One such case was that of suspect priest, named Peter Zolotnitsky. Having jc.ned non conformist sect he as sent to the mon astery prison of Suzdal, two days before Christmas, 1865. Alexander II. was then Czar, and the tendencies of his govern ment were, on the whole, humane.
 But liberty of conscience has never been granted even by the most enlight- ened Emperor of Muscovy. Alexander II. vanished from the scene. and his son as- cended the throne as Alexander III. An amnesty was granted to criminals, new measures were adopted and new men ap- pointed, but the lot of the priest Zolot- nitsky was not alleviated. He was left in his stone cellar. cold. hungry. lonely forgotten. In the fuliness of time Alex ander III. was called to his last account and Nicholas II. donned the crowns of
