TOWNSHIP WITHOUT A pAuPER.
Poormaster Says Annual Salary Of $40
Better Than Fees.

Middletown, N. Y.--"Wealth" is
equally distributed among the happy
and prosperous people of Mount Hope
township, Orange county. No million
aires live there and d. H. Holley, the
conscientious poormaster, has handed
his resignation to the town board.
There are no paupers in the aims
house, nor in dwellings,, and have not
been for several years" said the poor
master. There is nothing for me to
do and, as l receive fees, the Office
does not pay me cent, what's the use
of holding it?"
1t was suggested to Mr.. Holly that
the poormaster receive one dollar for
each official investigation he makes.
Il know there is not man or wom-
an in the township who is not self
supporting he answered, indignant
ly. II will make no fake investiga-
lions for the sake of getting money"
To retain the services of such pub
lie servant the town board unanimous
ly voted to Mr.. Holly salary of 500
year. He accepted it and will con-
tinue to be poormaster-which goes
to prove that money, not wealth, is
equally distributed in Mount Hope

ington newspapers spoke of this eXhi-
bition as of very instructive one as
to the spirit of foreign art toward
America.
The government committee, which
consisted of Secretary Taft, Senator
Wetmore, of Rhode Island, and Rep
resentative McCleary, of Minnesota
invited jury of three prominent
American sculptors, Messrs dorado
Taft, of Chicago, and Daniel Chester
French and Henry M. Schrady, of New
York, to choose the three best models,
there being three premiums Of $1,000,
$500 and $500, respectively. The first
premium was accorded by the commit
tee to the model sent by Antoni Po-
piel, of Lwow, Lemberg, Austrian
Poland
President Roosevelt at special in
vitation from the Polish alliance visit
ed the exhibition and expressed his
opinion that the model of Mr.. Popiel
is the most acceptable.
The model represents Kosciuszko as
a hero of both hemispheres, as he is
usually called by the Poles. At the
front of the pedestal is hemisphere
showing the map of America with the
American eagle guarding it's liberty.
In the rear the other hemisphere, bear
ing the outline of Europe and Asia, is
being strangled by a snake represent
ing despotism, which the Polish eagle
is trying to kill with his beal, and
talons. To the right, Polish regular
soldier Wounded and falling, is pro-
tected by Polish farmer with his
scythe; to the left, an American sol
der is cutting the ties of the Ameri,
can farmer, thus liberating him from
the foreign yoke. Above stands Kos
ciuszko with map in one hand, the
other reposing on his sword
Tadeusz Kosciuszko was born in
Poland in 1746 and received his mill
tary education in the Academy for
Cadets in Warsaw, and subsequently
in Paris. In 1776 he came to America
with recommendation from Benjamin
Franklin and was given by Washing

gineers. He planned the fortified camr

STATUE OF koscluszko TO BE
ERECTED IN WASHINGTON.
Memorial to Patriot Presented to
America by FelIow-Countrymen
-Popie's Model Accepted
by Committee.

Washington.-Two years ago the
Polish National Alliance of the United
States conceived the idea of present
ing to the American people a monu-
ment of Gen. Tadeusz Kosciuszko, to
be erected at Washington in Lafayette
square, where the monuments of
Lafayette and Rochambeau are stand
ing and where monument to Baron
Won Steuben will be raised in the near
future. The plan was to have the
memory of all the most prominent off
GERS who fought for the independence
of the United States thus honored by
monuments in the capital of the
nation.
The government having appropri-
ated $4,000 for monument to Gen
Pulaski, who fought for the liberty of
this country and who fell in the battle
of Savannah in 1919, the Polish Ma
tional alliance felt it to be the duty of
Polish-Americans to reciprocate by
presenting monument of the other
Polish patriot who lent his sword to
the cause of liberty of America.
The gift having been accepted by
congress and the president, and the
fund having been started by means of
special assessment from every men,
Der of the alliance, a contest was an
nounced in the Polish papers in Eu-
rope and America for a model which
would satisfy the governments COM

of December, 1906, models began to
arrive and finally there was opened in
the Corcoran gallery in Washington

sO-CENT GAS LAW INVALID.
Judge Rules New York Act Is Con
-fiScafarX.

NEW YORK, December 21.-Judge
Hough of the United States circuit court,
in a decision handed down yesterday, sus-
tanned the finding of Master Arthur h.
Masten that the S0-cent gas law is I'M
constitutional The most essential points
in the masters report are upheld.
Judge Hough's decision begins by re-
citing the history Of the case with the
passage of the SO-cent gas law and the
order of the gas and electricity commits
sion OF February %, 1906, ordering .ne
Consolidated Gas Company to furnish gas
in the borough of Manhattan at so cents
a thousand feet. In estimating the value
of the investment of the gas corporation
Judge Hough says he does not consider
the price paid for stocks in the subsidiary
companies worth consideration because of
the variation in prices and values, the
prices recorded being out of proportion to
the possibilities of the gas business. The
Judge concludes that as matter of law
the complainant is entitled to fair re-
turn on the business of making gas on
$47, 100000 worth of tangible property.
The cost of making gas is discussed.
The figure issued by the company for
| that item is IS, 265 annually. from
| that sum the court deducts the net cost of
gas bought from other companies,
| amounting to $500, 432. The item for in
terest on taxes is reduced from $94 ,oQS to
| $29O71. For repairs and renewals IL cents
| a thousand feet Is considered sufficient,
and the operating expenses are placed at
Sc, 1891
| Judge Hough says that after all proper
| deductions the corporations net income
4 would not be less than S., 030, 900 upon a
capital of $47, 100000 of tangible assets.
The price of the stock in the past or its
income in the last twenty years are not
useful facts in the investigation.
