Manager Durant Wants to Get Some
 of the Sunday Money.

If everything is arranged satisfac- torily the management of the Water bury base ball team will endeayor to run professional base ball in this city for at least one Sunday a month the remainder of the season. The direc- tors of the team state that SO far they are behind on the season. not be- cause of the poor attendance at home, but because of the manner in which the other teams in the circuit have been drawing. Therefore they wish to run a few Sunday games to get back some of the money which they claim them have lost. It is the in- tention of Manager Durant to bring National and American league teams here. It is not known what action the City league managers will take on the matter. as they have the use of the grounds and they are likely to make a howl about 1t. The matter may be discussed at their meeting to- night.

Baltimore Has Jubilee.

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 1.-THE
great jubilee, which Will continue for
four days, opened here today with a
big parade, which was mainly of an in
dustrial character, but also included 4
number Of military and semi military
organizations, various civic organiza-
lions. On Thursday there will be a
big firemens parade in which several
New York companies, which assisted
in putting out the great Baltimore fire
of February Z and s, 1904 will take
part as the guests of the corporation.
The jubilee celebration will close on
Friday with a big pageant. It had
been at first proposed, to hold an ex-
hibition in connection with the cele-
bration, but tina plan was given up
after mature elaboration.

of the plan, an effort will be made to
interest the French and the British
governments. 1t is not believed, that
even if the two governments should
favor the plan, they would care to
assume the responsibility of making
such change without first submitting
1t to the International Postal Union.
The probability is that some of the
other countries belonging to the In
ternational Postal Union might object
to such arrangement, which would give
the two countries considerable advan-
tage over other countries belonging to
the Union. At all events, the matter
will be thoroughly agitated and ev-
cry effort will be made to bring about
the desired end

In Some Counties Are Valued at 1854
and in Others Around
$3.50.

Automobiles are assessed for taxa
ton this year at various prices in the
different counties. Of the reports THAI
have been received at the state house
the Pierce county return shows that
autos in that section are assessed
higher than any place else in the
state. Pierce county has A automo-
biles and they are assessed at an av-
erage of s654.5O EACH
On the other hand Spokane has just
A automobiles taxed, but they are
assessed at $419.66 each. There are
many fine roads around Spokane and
there is little doubt that the auto
mobiles of Spokane are as valuable
as those of Pierce county.
Last year automobiles were not
down on the list and they were prob
ably not returned for taxation. The
returns from the counties show that
autos are not to be found in all parts
of the state. For instance the follow
ing counties have no automobiles, or
at least they had none March 1. Cow

have an automobile or two now, for
