The Patterson act which Is practl-

passed In 1892. AS vicious meas

1t will be noted by referring to
the tables of tax levies In the var

towns maintaining high schools
about threefold the taxes paid in the
strictly rural districts. The cities
pay twofold what is paid in the
strictly rural districts.
Practically all large farms are re-
mote froW all centers OF population.
Fully one-half of the ,tillers of
the soil live adjacent to cities, towns
and villages. Consequently, they are

THREE MILITIA TARS GET WET.
Cstboat They sailed In Capsiyes Boat Is
Lost. but The Are Rescued

Joseph Stevens. Ferdinand Poser and
Richard Condor, members of the First
Battalion Of the Naval Militia, went to
Csnarsie yesterday afternoon and bought
the catboat Bamboo. This is an open
boat IS feet long. The three amateur tars
had figured that they would have lots Of
fun sailing her somewhere in the vicinity
Of the militia headquarters and perhaps
further away They decided To take her
around to New York. and after getting
aboard they took on their shore clothes,
put on white duck trousers. thin under
shirts and canvas shoes and were prepared
for work. There was a nice southwesterly
wind blowing all the afternoon and the
Bamboo soon drew out of Canar sic Bay
and made fast time toward Coney Island
Point.
The wind freshened and the yacht heeled
considerably. Although those on board
favored her all they could she kept on heelihg
and took water over the lee side. which
filed up the cockpit. The men tried all
thew could to get her inside the harbor
before shs foundered. hut when on Coney
Island Light she went over and filed and
would not right again.
The m EN- hung on n the boat, which
did not sink for some time, hut the tide W a
sIting out to sea again and ms the sun
was alb out to 90 down things were not

ia the Atl1i.tic Yacht Clu and John X.
Rrophy, Who is chairman Of the regatta
committee, had just finished timing the
yachts that were racing for the Tomkins
prize. He saw the catboat capsi<e and
saw the men hanging on.
He soon had the clubs launch heading
toward the shipwrecked militia men. In
the meantime the cstboat had drifted in
toward the shore and the three men de-
cided that If they wanted to get to and
they had better take their chances at swim
ming and all put of for the shore.
Before they reached there the launch
Gertrude Of the Bensonhurst Yacht Club ran
alongside he men in the water and took
them on board. They we're taken to the
atlantic Yacht clubhouse; after Iefresh-
ment they went down To the engine room
to dry out. They returned later TO the
city. The Atlantic's launch tried TO find
the catboat. but could not and it is probable
that IL drifted out TO sea.
The three ga ilOrs lost all their shore
clothes. their watches and the catboat,
which, Stevens said, did not amount TO much.
