The valenoiennes now comes in high

upon frooks Of the better sort, the result
being a vast improvement in the simple
muslin frooks. Deep houncings of valen-

lace and perhaps with notes Of Bruges and
Renaissance added, are used for whole

New Meat inspection
Law In Germany.

The new meat inspection law of
Germany, which is principally
directed against the products of
the American packers, went into
effect last week and will practically
exclude all Importation of meats
from the United States. The new
regulations provide that cuts of
fresh beef from abroad shall be
miCroscopically examined to see
whether the glands contain tuber-
culcsis SYMPTOMS. If they do the
meat will not be admitted. In as
much as American refrigerated
meat has the glands removed prior
to shipment the regulations will
practically exclude American meat
from Germany. The German gov
eminent has also stopped the
of American canned meats

As TO ASSESSMENT OF THE
.STYLLIL4N PROPERTY

The effort to have the assess
ment of the Stillman property in
Brownsville reduced from the val
uation made by the board of
equalization to its former valuation,
as reported in THE HERALD last
week, has caused general comment
among our citizens and general
determination that, if the city
council should adopt the course in
dictated, all other citv property
owners will demand a similar re-
duction in their assessments.
In the event of such a result,
Brownsville may as well relin-
quish all hope of ever having wa
terworks or any other public i'm
provements.
An investigation of the tax rolls
shows that the New York and
Brownsville Improvement Com
Pany renders for assessment 654.75
acres of land within the city limits,
which is assessed at a total valua-
ton of S55, 92S, or an average of
SIS per acre. Though assessed as
acreage property, nearly all of this
land is divided into town lots,
and some of these lots have been
sold as high as 500 to $50. It
should be remembered here that
the courts have ruled that property
subdivided into town lots cannot
be rendered for taxation by the
acre. The rolls further show 1872
town lots belonging to this compa-
ny valued at 500, $50, or an aver
of S77.SS. The total taxes on the
above property is only Se1+.6o.
Comparing these values with the
average tax values of city proper
", It will be seen that this prop
