tax board as saying that real estate In
Jersey City has been assessed on a 675s
per cent basis. The appeal then con-
tinues as follows:
"The assessments levied on second
class railroad property, locally assess
ed in the year 1905. have been enor-
mously increased In value over the as
sessments made by the state board of
assessors and confirmed by your board,
the same being in the aggregate an in
crease from about $23. 100000 to about
100000 The property has thus
been assessed at far In excess Of its
true value and in the aggregate at
double its present true value. The city
has adopted different system of dis
tinguishing lots and parcels so that
comparison Of individual parcels be-
comes somewhat difficult but the ag-
gregate assessments of second class
railroad property and the aggregate as
sessments of previous yeaEs will show
the enormous increases mSDde. Seized
ules are hereto annexed showing the
Increases made on the second class
property of each Of the railroad com
panies.'
After calling attention to the law,
which they claim the Hudson tax au-
thorities have failed to observe, pro-
vlding that all second class railroad
and canal property shall be taxed the
same as other property, and charging
that private property in Jersey City
has been assessed at a lower rate thar
is consistent with the purpose Of Sc
urlng uniform and true valuation, the
appeal goes on with reference to per
sonal property:
"Your informant also appeals from
the action OF the taxing authorities Of
Jersey City taxing district and from
action Of the county beard Of taxation
whereby the personal property in der

Jersey City. Oct. 21.--Hudson coun-
ty, the original home of equal taxa
ton" has been challenged By the rail-
roads as to its sincerity on that ques-
ton. 1t will be remembered that
Charles @. Black Of Jersey City. the
Democratic candidate for governor in
1904, made his campaign with equal
taxation" as his slogan. When Mr..
Black was defeated by Edward G.
Stokes the reformers Of Hudson coun-
ty, headed by George L, Record and
Mark Pagan, took up the same issue.
Senator Everett Colby Of Essex coun-
ty then Joined forces with the men
from Hudson.
It has often been limited by organ
ization Republicans that Hudson coun-
TVS real idea Of equal taxation was to
secure for its own uses the taxes from
the vast amount Of railroad property
within its borders. The main stem Of
the railroads has always been taxed
for state. school purposes, but Hudson
county wanted scheme Of local taxa

would Of course have turned the rev.
enue from this source into the local
treasury. The railroads themselves IA
vored the local plan, but Governor
Stokes and the legislature last winter

revenue from the main stem for the
benefit Of the schools, and new laws

unearths Terrible Conditions In Cuban
Asylum For the Insane.

Havana, Oct. 23.-An appalling con-
dition Of affairs was discovered by
Governor Magoon when he visited the
National Insane asylum, where 1850
men and women were huddled in a
space which, incredible as it may seem,
accommodates normally only 400
Congress had appropriated sufficient
money with which to extend and re-
build the filthy, dilapidated structures,
but Governor Magoon discovered that
not penny was spent to make re-
pairs and alleviate the condition of the
poor wretches confined in the place
known as an asylum"
The LEGO men and women slept on
broken cots, battered relics Of the last
occupation by United States troops.
Filth was everywhere, and not only
discomfort but actual torture because
of conditions were prevalent.
Immediate steps were taken by the
governor to have additional structures
erected and the old ones cleaned and
repaired.
Reports from many places show that
agricultural operations are being grad
ually resumed There are no further
signs OF discomfort, with the exception
of complaints by Liberals that some Of
the Moderate officials ought to be re-
moved While there is some apprehen-
sion with regard to yellow fever. the
situation IL not regarded as especially
dangerous. The number Of cases under
treatment in Havana is ten. There is
at present one case at Cruces at Glen
fuegos. DR.. Carlos Finlay. chief of the
department Of health and sanitation,
said that while the fever in Havana
was epidemic the situation was not one
to cause serious alarm. There have
been no American cases.

Storm Damage Confined Mainly to Fia-

Washington, Oct. %. President
Roosevelt has sent kilograms to Gov
ernor Magoon at Havana and to Gov
ernor Broward Of Florida expressing
sympathy for the sufferers by the re-
cent hurricane. In his message to
Governor Broward the president sug-
gested that he call upon the govern
ment for aid should 1t be deemed nee
essary.
Reports received by Governor Ma
goon from the provincial governors
show that the hurricane was less dis
astrous in its results than was at first
believed. The storm was confined
mainly to the provinces Of Havana and
Pinar del Rio. BataEano, thirty two
miles southeast OF Havana, was the
only town except the capital which
suffered greatly. The mayor Of that
place reports that nine persons were
killed and that many are missing
Dispatches from Havana say that
words expressive OF the warmest APP
probation and gratitude are heard on
all sides as the result of President
Roosevelt message Of sympathy.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Saving the Manure.

A large amount Of the excrement Of
animals, containing as it does the
greater part Of the lands strength re-
moved by the crop fed. is in soluble
form. It escapes easily Il it has any
chance. Absolutely tight floors and
absorbents secure it in such way
that 1t can be got to the land without
material loss. The evaporation OF the
water when the manure is spread does
not reduce the store Of fertility in the
manure. It remains, and all that once
was dissolved lies ready to be dissolv-
ed again by the first rain. Then it
goes into the ground, and that is where
it belongs. Some men find 1t difficult
to believe that the fertility Is not going
into the air. The two minerals, phos-
phorus and potassium, cannot travel
In that direction, and the nitrogen will
not do so In any appreciable amount
when the manure is spread on the SUR
face. 1t cannot do so. The ground

STORMS DEATH LIST
Hundreds Of Lives Lost In Great
Hurricane That Swept the
Florida Keys.
WORST Blow IN MANY YEARS

Boats Not Built For Heavy Weather
Swept Out to Sea--Little Hope En-
4srtained FOR Their Crews - Vessel
Containing $50 Men Believed to Have
Foundered.
Washington, Oct. %. Further re-
ports Of the terrible storm along the
lower Atlantic coast show that the
earlier dispatches gave only glimpses
Of the death and destruction wrought
by wind and wave. At least twenty
one Of the passengers and crew Of the
steamer st. Lucle, wrecked off Elliott's
key, Florida, were drowned, and 101
were lost from quarter boat No. 4 Of
the Florida East Coast railway. Sur
giyors of the st. Lucie were taken into
Miami, Fla, in the steamer Virginia.
Many Of the bodies were buried with
out being identified The storm had an
echo as far across the continent as
Utah.
Stories told by the survivors Of ths
south Atlantic wrecks lead to the be-
lief that other vesselg were lost in the
terrible hurricane. Much anxiety for
small craft was felt in many ports,
and rescue tugs were sent out to scour
the sea In search Of castaways.
Wreckage apparently not from ships
known to be lost was found on sew
eraI beaches, giving rise to the gravest
apprehensions.
Worst Storm In Many Years.
Vessels that weathered the storm put
In with reports it was the worst ex-
perienced in many years. Their cap
&ains and crews expressed the belief
shat only the stanchest craft could
outIlve it. At times the seas were high
enough to crush schooners and even
larger ships. Boats not built for heavy
weather that were driven out to sea
were smashed like bandboxes. Sailing
craft seudding under bare poles were
Whiried through the waves with ter
rlfyipg velocity. 1t was out Of the
question for any small boat, unless
Ilfeboat, to live an hour.
Survivors said they saw men brush
ed from RATS and spars like flies. The
wind literally scooped great pieces Of
timber out Of the water and flung them
from wave to wave. Giant pillows
broke over the decks of ships with
sound and shock like the fall Of
house.
Some Of the survivors say they fear
another houseboat also carrying 100
men, was swept to sea from Long key.
Ten boats were anchored or moored
around the island. Among them were
dredges and mortar mixers. 1t is
thought eight of them escaped the
storm, but it is almost certain that the
sister craft to quarter boat No. 4 was
driven before the hurricane.
Survivors Picked Up at Sea.
One of the most thrilling expert
ences of the storm, judging from the
tenor of wireless message received
In St Augustine, was that of seven
men driven to sea In an open boat.
The message came from the Standard
Oil steamer Lucas. She was 200 miles
at sea when 1t was sent. Her captain
reported that when thirty-five miles
from Flowery Greek lighthouse on Fri
day morning he picked up the men,
who were close to death. They had
been bufreted about in their little boat
for almost twenty-four hours.

"A Newark Prudential superintendent calling to

Company said the widow. because we had to let
the policy lapse, my husband having lost his em-
poyment before he died. The policyholder had
had loan this policy and his wife thought there
nothing more coming to her. There was
reserve, however, which, through the Company's
liberal automatic extended insurance clauses kept
the policy in force. Thus she was paid $1,000 less
the amount of loan and unpaid premium.
