CAILDREN'S DAY
Will be Observed at BOyntOn Beach
Saturday.

On account of the fact that today
is to be celebrated at Boynton Beach
as the last salt water day for the col
ored people, the management has de-
cided to make this coming Saturday

the little ones of the free amusement
which they have given them each
week during the present season.
Saturday the children will be al
lowed to have the free use of the
bamboo slide all the morning until
| o'clock in the afternoon and they
can use it absolutely as they please.
At l o'clock the free ticket will be
given which entities the holder to a
ride on the merry-go-round or swings
or which can be used on any of the
numerous attractions. This is by far
the most liberal offer ever made and
it is expected that great number of
children will take advantage of it.
The children will want to be sure
to be at the beach before | o'clock
in order that they may be entitled to
the free offer that has been made.
Thursday, August 30th, the last
children's day will be celebrated and
on this day concessions will be made
of exactly the same nature as those
for Saturday of this week.

SAYS WIFE
DESERT ED.
Is Seeking Divorce on That
Ground Declares That He
Found Another Man in Home.
is NOW IN EUROPE.

Claiming desertion, George Homa
is sueing his wife, llona, for divorce.
Joseph r. Stricken represents the
husband and has filed papers of APP
plcation in the court of chancery of
New Jersey.
The case involves many peculiar
circumstances, and incidents relative
to the marriage of the couple.
According to Homa's story, he and
Ilena were married in 1903, and for
six months lived happily together.
One night the husband coming home
from work little earlier than usual,
says he saw a drama that was being
played by his wife and another man.
His wife, he claims, was sitting on
the strangers knee, and was kissing
him furiously. Homa says he rushed
into the house and demanded an eX
PLANTATION, which caused his wife to
become so offended that she immedi-
ately left him, and is now on the
opposite side of the briny deep, and
as the husband supposes, went in
company with the correspondent.
The husband thinks he has good
grounds for divorce, and expects to
have it granted soon.

while riding on a load of logs at 4:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon, fen to
the ground and sustained severe in
ternal injuries, caused by the hind
wheel of the heavily laden wagon
passing over his body.
Kalovitch with a few other chill
dren, met the wagon, which belonged
to a Mr.. Hoffman, of Woodbridge,
near the Central tracks on New
Brunswick avenue, and asked the
Hungarian driver for a ride Per-
mission was granted and the children
got up on the load of logs. Further

ly jolted and little Benny fell under
the wheels.
The injured boy was removed at

for recovery are small. His injuries
are mostly internal.

for melting insurrection.l

the town had been taken by insurgents
who had surrounded the station. The
agent did not know the number killed
ur wounded, but believed it was small.
The fighting was quickly over.
A telegram to the government states
that later Major Paurent, with his de-
tachment of rural guards. fought Guer-
IA and his 300 men for three hours,
completely defeating him, killing or
wounding many insurgents and taking
three prisoners. The dispatch adds that
the rebels dispersed i'll all directions,
being chased long distances. None Of
the royal guards was hurt.
Nevertheless another portion of the
insurgent forces continues in occupa-
ton of San Luis.
There is an uncOnfirmed report from
Finar del Rio that Lieutenant Azcay
was captured and that only nine of his
detachment reached Pinar del Rio.
Luis Perez, the last Liberal governor
of the province of Pinar del Rio, has
joined the insurgent forces.
"A detachment of 100 recruits on the
way to Guines had slight encounter
with insurgents, but no one on either
side was hurt.
An attempt is being made with 200
mounted rural guards and regulars to
corner Quentin Bandera who, with $50
men, is continuing his dodging tactics
in the western part of the province of
Havana.
Three large bands of insurgents are
out in the province of Santa Clara.
The insurrection appears to be growing,
but the loyalists of the towns assert
that they will be able to resist the
movement.
The government has received a re-
port that x-Congressman Carlos Men
dieta. a leading citizen of Santa Clara,
has taken up arms with large force.
While the report is not confirmed the
government officials are inclined to be-
lieve 1t. as Mendieta has been regarded
with suspicion.
A later dispatch from Rancho Veloz,
province of Santa Clara, says that a
band'of insurgents has been organized
there under Colonel Reinos, and it is
believed that Mendieta is with them.
Practically all the inhabitants Of the
town of Aguacate have. with the
mayor, declared themselves in insur-
rection against the government.

RATE
IS TO BE
NEAR$I.99
Increased Valuations Causes
the People To Pay Less
Taxes This Year.
WAS $2.I2 LAST YEAR.
Some Of the Local Factories
Have Been Doubled Suburban
Real Estate a Feature.

The tax rate for this city Is estI-
mated at about $1.93 this year. It
is not official, as the returns are not
all in, but then it will be Somewhere
near that figure. Last year the rate
was $2.12. This shows a reduction
of about nineteen cents per 500.
The city tax alone is about one
cent higher, which is due to the
growth of the city The county rate
is much lower than last year.
One of the local assessors says
that the increase in valuations is due
to the equity in values of the local
factories and the sessing of second
rate railroad property that was for
merly assessed by the state.
Last year the American Smelling
and Refining Company were a8g a.
ed about $4,000, while this year
the valuation is placed at 1886, ,000k
an increase of $568,OO0.
The personal tax of the Raritan
Copper Works was in 1905 about
$1O5, 900, and it is understood that
100000 is the personal tax of that
concern this year.
A number of new factories have
been added to the list, and the $751;
600 of the United Lead Company al
so tends to raise the increased sum-
In considering the railroad prop-
erty, the local assessors have raised
the valuations $4,000 over what the
state board assessed 1t last year.
Another fact that has added to
the total is the so-called suburban
real estate" says one of the local aa-
SCISSORS, which, when considered, IS
no small sum, the tracts being large
and the nominal value placed on each
portion, that formerly farm land
and assessed by the acre, Is n DIE
benefit to the city.
: As yet the Metuchen books ha5
not bee Strengthened out, and unVY'
they are, the official tax rate of IT,
different districts cannot be fixed. ~
One of the local assessors claim
that the general property here has.
been assessed fairly and equally and
that the increase in valuations has
been caused by the suburban real es-
tate, the factories and railroad prop-
erty. In his mind the increase on
the small tax payers is small. 81
