obexsd Che General.. oraer.


General Sherman once possessed an
Irish servant whose forte was asking
questions and trying to find out the
why and wherefore Of everything he
was told to do. During a battle an
orderly one day approached the gen.
eral and told him that his favorite
horse. Ross, had been Killed.
Calling his Irish servant the general
said: 30 skin Ross
why. si:. is Ross dead" began
the man.
General Sherman rose up in his
wrath. saying: Never mind whether
he is dead or not told you to go out
and skin him."
The man returned about three hours
later and Sherman hailed him with
The words:
Where have you been? Does it
take you three hours to skin a horse ?''
NO" answered Mike, ''but it took
me about two hours to catch him.

BIZETS don PROCOPIO. "
Opera Boufe Produced at Monte
Carlo.
Monte Carlo. March Il

Monte Carlo March II.
The admirers Of the musical genius Of Georges
Bizet owe a debt Of gratitude 70 the Prince Of
Monaco, upon whose initiative N. Raoul Guns
bourg has mounted and produced for the first
time the opera bouefe Don Procopio." which
was composed by Bizet IN 1858 when he had
barely completed his nineteenth year Don
Procopfo" is light graceful, refined compost
ton in two acts, based upon an old Italian COM
edy that Bizet discovered in the Naples Library
and which he set 70 music. a ridiculous old
uncle Don AudronicO. persists in compelling his
niece Bettina 70 marry Don Procopio, a rich but
misery old neighbor. Bettina secretly loves
handsome young officer, Don OdoaTdo Bettina
calls her brother Ernesto TO aid her in fOiling
the plans Of her uncle and OF the old miser. and
this is eventually accomplished so that the
merry little idyl ends as gayy as its prototypes,
"Scapin" and the Barber Of Seville"
This light opera is charming and unpreten-
tious. and only here and there vaguely reveals
the young composers power and pathos, that at
a later period Of his career rtpened and became
so brilliantly developed in Carmen" and IN
the incidental music Of Alphonse Daudets
.'I'Arlesienne" The production Of Don Procopio"
tonight at the opera House here was highly
successful. The harmonic texture Of Bizets
first opcratic composition is distinctly modern.
Among the numbers keenly appreciated are the
trio IN the first act the serenade and the love
duet in the second act and the delicious entracte
symphony, which IS a perfect gem Of orchestra
ton II IS gratifying 70 find that this hitherto
urheard Of opera cOuiQue, that may be de-
scribed as the song Of spring" Of the composer
OF Carmen" has charms that fully hold their
own with the early compositions Of Bizet's most
intimate comrades. Charles Lecocq and Leo
Dellbes. The leading parts were creditably sung
by the favorte tenor OF the Opera Comique NJ.

the most pleasing sopranos OF the same theatre.

NASSAU GRAFT AGAIN.

AUditing Tar Sale Bills.

Mineola, Long Island, March 26.-Graft and
collusion among the officials Of Nassau County
and the publishers of the recent tax sale notice
were charged to-day before the Board Of Super
visors at the meeting called TO audit the $4,000
bill OF the publishers for the tax notices and
several were present TO oppose it.
Ex-COngressman Townsend Scudder charged
that the tax sale notice nothing but cloak
TO get graft from the county. and denounced
the publishers and County Treasurer Charles
Lewis. whom he holds responsible for the great
length Of the notice which put such q big ex-
pense upon the taxpayers He asked the board
10 let the publishers sue, and said he would
defend IL without cost to the county.

SENATE CUTS FURTHER,
Committee Reduces appropriation
Bill BeIozC ASsemblyIS Mark.
Nv rslsrraph % rhe Trihuns. l


Albany March 26-The annual appropriation
bill, amended by the Senate Finance Commit
tee. was presented to the Senate tonight. In
stead Of restoring tht wholesale cuts made by
the Assembly Committee on Ways and Means
in the allowances for departments. the Senate
committee makes a further reduction in the
total Of S23,195 but among its alterations are
various changes and restorations OF amounts
cut of by the Assembly which carry much sig
nihcance.
Among these are an increase OF $1,000 in the
allowance to the State Gas Commission which
Senator Stevens wants abolished. Another is an
increas Of S1S,jOO for Jastrow Alexander. State
Inspector OF Gas Meters, whose place, under
the provisions OF a bill introduced by Assem-
man Moreland, majority leader, would be abOl
ished. Increases OF $39. 800 are made for the
Judiciary, $4,000 for the State Engineer. S4T,-
600 for the Department Of Agriculture, S26. $50
for the Department OF Forest Fish and Came
S3450O for the Insurance Department and vari-
Gus other smaller increases. Much Of this in
crease. IL was explained. was TO make Up for
salaries and allowances due under the statutes
which the Assembly committee had arbitrarily
cut Of.
The decreases which Senator Malby's com
mittee recommends are all in the departments
for which no statutory requirements exist. He
cuts from the Assembly's allotment to the De-
partment Of Education S45, 600; from the Metro
politan Bureau Of Elections, over which there
is some little political controversy, S14 500; from
the Excise Department. S41. $50 from the State
Health Department, $lO,32O; from the LunaCy
Commission. SS7 $40; from Public Printing an
even $4,000; from the Prisons Department
S23. 800 and from the Department OF Public
Works S45 800
In all these decreases the political observers
here trace some political motives. The decrease
in the allowance for Superintendent Morgan Of
the Elections Bureau, they point out, is because
he was ardeutly for Herbert Parsons as chair
man Of the New York County Republican Com
rnittee.

MORTGAGE BILL HIT.
TECO amendments IHtrod1Eced-PUt
OUer Until Tomorrow.
ny TeIsrraph to me tribune J

Albany, March 2s.-The Assembly gave up an
hour OF its session tonight TO a debate on the
Dowling Mortgage Tax bill, and then put the
measure over until Wednesday. without taking
decisive action. The Bowling bill amends the
present mortgage tax law by abOlshing the an
nual tax and substituting q recording tax OF
one-half Of / per cent. Assemblyman Wade
criticized the Dowling bill bitterly, declaring
that It was drawn for the allied real estate in
terests. He introduced two amendments, TO pro-
tect the state and the outraged borrower. he
said
This mortgage tax bill is the most obnoxious
measure that this Legislature has been asked
TO pass this year" said he My first impression
was to let the bill go through, bad as It is. as
index OF what this House permits itself TO
do. This bill is so bad that even the intro
ducer doesn't know how bad II Is. II comes
here from an organization that has resorted TO
every device and deception to defeat the most
equitable mortgage tax that was ever put on
our statute books
"One provision Of this obnoxious measure is
enough to damn It irretrtsvably. II is so wordsd
that the trust companies and savings banks and
money lenders who have been evading the pay
ment Of taxes under the present law on mort
cages OF demand may escape absolutely any
payment to the state. It Is 80 ingeniously drawn
that It aboHshes all the provisions OF the pres
ent law and makes tax collections under IL i'm
possible before the state can force the payment
Of that tax.
"One Of my amendments prevents this scheme
from carrying by keeping the present law in
effect until these money lenders have paid their
mortgage tax under the present bill The other
amendment I have introduced 20 protect the
borrower. The Real Estate Alliance people are
so much concerned that one OF them promised
last year that II we would cut out the pro-
vision Of the present law. which protects the
borrower from an exorbitaut charge Of inter
est they would withdraw all opposition TO the
measure. This year they have taken good care
that the borrower shall have no protection at
all. They want him to pay bonus on the tax
well the limit OF interest.
My amendment simply prohibits the charg-
ing Of more than the legal rate OF interest. This
bill may be passed, but IN the passing the House
viii go on record For myself I shall fight the
bill TO the last ditch"
Assemblyman Bowling, the introduCer said
the bill the result OF the best thought OF
many tax experts, and simply embodied the rec
concentrations Of the Governors message. Mr.
Patton offered an amendment eXempting from
the tax all mortgages TO loan and building asso-
Citations under 5000 in amount. After the de-
bate had continued for hour several Assem-
/ blynen demanded that II be put over, so that
they might get an understanding OF the amend
I ments. Mr.. Wade consented
