been received at the station complaining
against alleged noises In the rear room Of a
saloon at No. 517 West 4Ith street. The two
officers said they tried to buy liquor in the place,
but were refused. Then they tasted beer that

freshly drawn when they reached the place
yesterday.
How did you know 1t was fresh?' asked the
magistrate.
Il tasted it,"
What did that show?'
1.-THE beer had head on It,"
How many excise arrests have you nader
About seventy-hve"
What do you call a violation of the law

when drinks are in sight,
If YOU have made seVenty-flve arrests Won

MANY CORPORATIONS ORGANIZED.

Bangor. Me, Dec. % (Spec;aE.-Ths number OF
corporations of high capitalization which are filing
their certificates of organization at the office Of
the Secretary Of State in Augusta is on the in

During November the number of corporations or
ganized in the state eighty. and of that number
twenty-one were capitalized above the million dol

this was the fourth largest organized this year. the
other three bcing the American Consolidated Cop

OO,OOO. The number of corporations which have
been organized during the present month up to last
have been capitalized Ut S1.0O0,000 over, and as
there are yet about two weeks before the close Of

would exceed hat Of November both in the number
OF corporations and in those capitalized at and

CHRISTMAS PRESENT LOST
Woman Has Her Husband arrested
on assault CHARGE.

On the charge of assault made by hts wife.
William W. Gilman. real estate broker, living
at No 517 West 134th street. was locked up in
the West 125th street station last night. The
assault charge is the result the police say. of
the man being temporarily infuriated over the
loss Of a pair OF diamond earrings. valued at
S225. which he had just given TO his wife as
Christmas present.
According 10 the police, Gilman, when he
arrived home late Saturday night, gave his wife
a pair Of diamond earrings and set of furs
They were placed in Mrs. Gilman's bureau and
were there yesterday morning, according to the
story told the police by Gilman. Early yester-
day afternoon friends OF the broker visited the
house A Negro maid prepared the dinner and
left the house after It was over. About an hour
after the broker and his wife and their guests
had left the table Gilman was taken i'll and
went to his room. According to Mrs. Gilman
the friends went away, saying that they would
not remain because of her husbands illness
An hour later. Mrs. Gilman says. she discov-
cred her diamonds were missing. and when her
husband woke up she told him of the loss
Then she SAYS he became enraged and raced up
and down the rooms. Finally. she told the
police he started to attack her Neighbors

PROSPERITY OF CHINA.
Greatest ReUenue for Year-RamOr
of Gift from United States.

London. Dec 24-"The Times's" cOrrespon-
dent AT Peking comments this morning on
China's hopeful financial outlook. The revenue
for the year is said to be the largest on record,
but there are no data available TO check the
statement The prospect is brighter than dur
ing the time Of the boycott on American goods
that the United States will carry out what has
long been believed to be her tntention to refund
to China the unexpended balance Of the Boxer
indemnity. amounting to $22.OOO,OOO gold. The
customs collection certainly is the largest on
record. while the appreciation Of silver has en-
abled China TO sustain with greater ease than in
any previous year the burden OF the payment Of
the Boxer indemnity. Another satisfactory
feature is the remarkable development In postal
communications. The postal revenue is unpre-
cedented, and there is every prospect Of the re-
organization Of the telegraph service reducing
the existing prohibtive inland rates to reason

the desire of "Fingey' ConneTs, Democratic state

that, while Mr. Hughes will appoint Republican

Will place politics on a par with the interests of

The Governor Is keeping his own counseIs
