 John Navach of Bank street, who took poison by mistake Wednes- day evening has now almost fully recovered from the effects of the drug.
 The Rev Francis J. Jordan who was formerly stationed at St Pat rick's church, but now at the cathe- dral in Hartford, visited in Brooklyn yesterday.
 The American Brass company is erecting retaining wall along the bank of the Naugatuck river where the bridge was recently built, con meeting the Benedict & Burnham with the Holmes, Booth & Hayden yard.
 Two games were played at Cor coran's lots this afternoon. The first between the policemen and the West End business men. the letter car riers and the Brooklyn business men were the opponents in the second contest.
 Yesterday afternoon one of the big wagons of Stokes, the feedman. broke down on the Bank street bridge. The vehicle was heavily loaded and when a hack collided with one of the rear wheels, down it went. The contests of the wagon landed on the car tracks and traffic was delayed for short time.
 Engineers for the city have been in Brooklyn the past week working so as to draw plans for the straight ening of Bank street and the exten- sion of Liberty street. Much has been heard about these Improvements but they have been long time com ing. It was definitely stated when the contract between the city and the New York, New Haven & Hart ford was signed some months ago that these Improvements would surely come within year or two. Wonder If they will?
 An ice cart was going down Bank street this morning and on the rear step was boy about eight years of age. Evidently he did not realize the danger he was in for he sat there as though there was not a thing in the world to bother him. The cart was loaded with ice the cakes ex- tending beyond the rear board of the wagon. If anything had broken 1t would have been all of with the youth as he would have been crush ed to death. If children will not stop riding on the rear of ice wag- ons, an ordinance should be passed prohibiting the same.

MAILUkU WORTH
TWO MILLIONS
Supreme Court Sustains That
Value for Purposes of
Taxation.

! The Supreme Court yesterday hand
ed down a decision and opinion in the
! appeal Of the Tax Assessor from the
| decision of the Tax Appeal Court fixing
the value of the Waikiki Sugar Com
pany plantation for purposes of tax
alton at $2000,000. The opinion of the
court is by Chief Justice Hartwen.
The corporation returned it's property
at S1,1O0,O 600. The Assessor raised it to
$4,000, 600, and the Tax Appeal Court
made it 100000. The property was
taxed last year on valuation of ST..
100000. and the sum of 100000 was
expended during the year for improves
ments, mainly for a new mill. In de-
Gliding the case the Chief Justice says:
Nothing is more difficult to define
than values. Sugar plantation proper
ty may be worth its defnitely-ascer-
tanned salable or purchasable value or
it's value as shown by profits obtained
or obtainable, depending upon skill and
judgment as well as expenditure of
money, the result being contingent
upon variable factors of cost, produc-
ton and market prices. 1t would be
entirely unsafe to test values of cor
poration property solely by sales of
shares of its stock or by prices offered
without regard to the number of shares
sold or bid for, or whether they are
bought for investment or speculative
purposes. No hard and fast rule of
testing values can be made to apply
in all cases, and yet practical common
sense and a desire to assess at their
fair value furnish an excellent guide.
THE appraisement of the board of
equalization making shares about S142
is probably a reasonable estimate of
the sum for which the plantation
could readily be sSld, but the appeal
court after hearing the testimony of
the Assessor as well as of the man
ager, Mr.. Wells, placing the value at
81, 100000, valued the property 100000
above his estimate, and lowered the
Assessors S380.000
This court has universally held that |
it does not reduce or increase the val |
uation made by a tax appeal court |
which appears to be fair and just, but |
allows it to stand unless shown to be |
or based on wrong theory |
or insufficient data"

SHOW HOW s2,500,0O0
LOAN FUNDS WERE SPENT

Chief Clerk Manuel Cook of the De
partment of Public Works is engaged
in getting out statement for Gov
ernor Frear showing the exact cost of
every Improvement built out of loan
funds during the four years ending
June 30, 1907. The loan fund appropri-
ations available during these two hi
ennial periods was about $2,500.000.
The statement which is being prepared
will show exactly how every dollar of
that was expended, whether for labor
or material. 1t will also show the ex
act cost of every public Improvement
made out of these loan funds, every
schoolhouse. bridge, wharf, slip, harbor
dredging, and in fact every separate
public improvement. This will be
permanent record which will be avail
able at any time in the future
In making this compilation, which
has involved an immense amount of
work, not only have the accounts been
segregated from the books, but the
vouchers have been compared, to be
certain that there should be no mistake.

KEENLY CONTESTED SUIT
ENDS AFTER NINE DAYS

The ejeetment suit of Mrs. Elizabeth
Booth against J. H. Schnack for some
land in Kalihi was concluded yesterday
after a nine days trial with a verdict
awarding the plaintiff half of the prop
erty, but giving her no damages.
The property in controversy is said
to be worth about $500. The case has
been on trial for nine days. Magoon
& Lightfoot have represented the
plaintiff and both have been in court
the whole time. The defendant was
represented by A. G.. NJ. Robertson.
The jury fees alone, 1t is said, will al
most equal the value of the property
involved, to say nothing of other costs.
There was a previous suit lasting for
several days, when it was found that
the plaintiff should be Mrs. Booth and
not Mr.. Booth who had begun it, and
in that case a nonsuit was entered.
The case has been very keenly con-
tested and has attracted a good deal of
attention.

A. F. JUDD RESIGNS.

Albert F. Judd yesterday resigned as
a member of the Archives Commission.
He has been a member of the Com

Legislature of 1905. He has been active
in the work of the Commission, and
was one of the members to whom the
present admirable building, as we'll as
the very great progress in the collec-
ton and arrangement of the archive
material, is due. He resigns because
of the press of private business. No
successor has yet been appointed.

PouIson Wireless Progressing.

Vladimir Poulson, the Danish inven-
tor, expects soon to establish wireless
communication across the Atlantic
from Denmark to America. He has
erected a station a few miles from
Copenhagen and an American station
will be completed in few weeks. His
system is based on singing" electric
waves which, he says, have inexhausti-
BILE power, where the spark system
loses energy over long distances. Mr..
Poulson first perfected his system for
a distance of 40 miles, increasing it
to 100, $50 and 760 miles; now he de-
clares that he can operate over greater
distances than the Atlantic's breadth.

NEW TELEPHONE SYSTEM.
Instrument Which Receives and De-
Iivers Messages at Long Range.

The latest time-saving addition to
business system is little instrument
which enables the head of business
or department to converse with one
or all of his subordinate officers in an
ordinary tone of voice, in any part of
his office, and without holding the ap-
paratus to his ear or mouth. Their
replies will come to him in like fash
ion, so that the whole conversation
will be just the same as if all parties
were talking together in one room. If
the manager wishes to communicate
with one person only, he can easily
make it impossible for anyone else to
overhear, and if he wishes to keep the
replies secret from someone in his
own Office, there is a receiver which
he can use in the ordinary way

FluCks
How often you hear one business
man say of another who has been sue
cessful: Amt he lucky?" Luck has
nothing to do with anyone's success.
1t is pluck.
Pluck and enthusiasm are the pow
ers which make the winner With
these two qualities, which are in
variably found together, man will
succeed.
Business men who have achieved
greatness in their line are those who
possess an abundance of enthus-
iasm.
A possession that is better than any
thing else to a man is that determine
ton OF character known as pluck, and
an enthusiastic confidence that he will
succeed.
To persevere against great odds,
and to make a victorious fight in the
face of almost impossibilities, it re-
quires pluck which is not governed by
impulse
To cultivate pluck one must encour-
age steadfastness of purpose. When
thing is begun it should be fin

POWER OF ELECTRICITY.
Railways Of the World to Be operatedl
BY This Irresistible Force.

Electricity now completely domi-
mates the urban railway systems of,
America and Europe, and is invading
with irresistible force that of subur-
ban and interurban railroads to such
an extent that it would be difficult to
enumerate them even in the United
States.
The systems which reach out from
Boston, with connections which ex-
tend 40, SO and even 100 miles, are
only sample of the wonderful devel-
opmsnt of the last Is years, while the
projects for future means of transpor-
tation In New England are so compre-
hensive as to exclude the use of steam
by all the companies which operate
transportation lines for passengers
and freight within a radii Of so miles
at least from all large centers of pop
ulation.
A single line, from indianapolis to-
Cincinnati, distance of 100 miles, al
ready enjoys large traffic in both
freight and passengers, and the New
York Central railroad company pro-
poses to at once install electricity in
place of steam to a distance of 40
miles in all its vast system radiating.
from New York city
In Europe one of the longest cleo
trio lines is from Liverpool to South
port, although many projects Of even
more gigantic proportions are under
way throughout England.
Most of these lines are in regions
where there are not sufficient water
falls from which to generate power
But where there are waterfallS-the
surest, easiest and most economical
source of energy in the world--there
is no reason why the electric engine
may not supersede steam entirely
while 1t seems positive that great re-
gion which has no railroads would, il
lines were to be built, adopt the cleo
trio system, even though there were
no water power, and having that,
would not hesitate in the choice
The Italian government, in conjunc.
ton with the railroads, has been car,
rying on successful experiments and
extending the use of electricity for!
nearly ten years, and now line is be-
ing fitted up from Rome to Civita- Cas-
tellana.
The governments of Norway and
Sweden are already occupied with the
application of electricity to the larger
lines; France is equipping roads with
it as fast as possible, and being outs
done by Germany; Switzerland is!
adopting it as rapidly as possible;
Spain has awakened to the import.
ance of electric railways, and is about
to build one nearly 100 miles long;
Mexico has just equipped one of over
100 miles, and the United States has
many which are still larger. Even in
Colombia, where there are practically
no railroads, the most prominent en-
gineers, in consultation with Pres
Reyes. are contemplating the utiliza.
ton of the vast torrents now plunging
to waste from the precipiteus noun
tains, to operate new railroads which
they declare will be the wonder Of

Let IL Be Known.

You may know that you have the
best assorted stock in town, but the
public will not know it unless you tell
them about it; they are not clairvoy-
ants. First use the newspapers liber-
ally, then circulars, personal letters,
talk to them when you can catch them
in your store, at their homes-any-
where. The first and last thing TO
bear in mind about advertising is that
it is as wide as human nature in its
appeal.
Advertising is the mighty engine of
success, and without it the business
world would be minus its dynamo of
energy.
