The Whitest vCity in the World.

There cannot possibly be a whittier
city than Cadiz unless it be built of
snow. The best way to approach the
port is to take a trip on one of the
small steamers which ply between
the ports of Morocco and Spain. AS
you near the coast you see in front
of you a white mass, which appears
to be floating upon the water, just
as you are. The first thought of a
foreigner is that he is in sight of an
iceberg. The white mass, g%littering
in the sun and rendered more daz-
cling by the blue sea and sky, looks
exactly like a monster ice mountain
partly melted, so that outlines of
castles and hill appear upon it, but
only for a second does the illusion
last, for you know there are no ice
bergs in that part, and you r quick
ly informed that you are looking at
Cadiz. No other town in the world
presents such a magic appearance.

Tigers he whispered. 'Tig'

"'Tigers,' he whispered. Tigers
Some of the ma foos were men,
bers of the Black Brotherhood, but
they all shuddered at the frightful
sight that confronted US. I put them
| all to work burying the dead, and
while they were at this task counted
the bodies. There we're ifty-eight
of them.
"The tai pan came running across
the clearing.

Impossible as this seemed, I has
tened to where a group of the men
were gathered around a wretched
creature on the ground. 1 gave the
poor torn one a big drink of rice
cordial (samshu), and within a few
moments he revived enough to talk.
There were one hundred Of us
in rebellion against the Prince Wal
10 Ling he said, land he defeated
US in a great battle, and made fifty
eight prisoners. He gave an order,
and we we're led into this forest and
tied to the trees. That was at the
tenth hour of yesterday. All day
long we stood still, dashed to the
| strong trees, our bodies bruised by
the ropes as we struggled to get
free, our Threats parched by thirst.
"tAt nightfall the tigers came.
Many tigers. We could see them
far off at first, walking about and
lashing their tails, and always COM
ing a little nearer When 1t was
quite dark we could see their yellow
eyes moving in the darkness, always
| creeping a little nearer. Some Of
| our men went mad. They cried out
| like tigers-as much like tigers as
they could.
"For a time the beasts were
frightened by the cries, for they
| feared a trap. But at last n tiger
plunged boldly through u circle
and into the open space. Then an
other and another. The place was
full of tigers. We could not see
them clearly, but their eyes were
blazing like torches, and we could
make out a great mass of bodies
twisting and leaping over one an
other. They purred like cats.
lone tiger suddenly charged out
of the mass and leaped upon my
brother. My lord, he was dead at
the first blow. Then another and
another leaped and struck. What
could we do but cry out? We are
only men. I saw a great beast leap
ing at me, and I knew NO more until
you, my lord, gave me life out Of a
cup
my friends, that man died as he
was speaking to US. I suppose the
tiger that struck him left him to
prey upon a larger man with more
flesh, and that is why he survived
so long. We buried all the victims,
and hurried away. The tigers con-
tinued to follow US until we crossed
a great river. I hope neve to look
upon a tiger again."-From Har-
per's Weekly.

Sealing Wax in Vogue.

Sealing wax Is again fashionable.
Some say it is because wax Is to be
used in sealing mail bags instead of
using locks and keys, others insist
that it's just a freak of Dame Fash
lon. At any rate, not only is it to be
used, but the latest fad Is to use diff
terent colors for different occasions.
A wedding invitation must be sealed
with white, a business letter In red,
a. letter of coincidence in violet, an in
vitation to dinner in yellow, while
personal notes are sealed with ones
favorite color.

RAILWAYS LOSE IN COURT
Decisions Require Compliance
With New Jersey Laws.
Railroads Cannot Dodge Under the
Duf1eld Act, But Must Pay Taxes
at Local Rates.

Trenton, N. J.-By far the most
important opinion announced by the
Court of Errors and Appeals was
that UNFOLDING the constitutionality
Of the Dufield Tax act Of 1905. The
announcement was made by Justice
Pitney and was concurred In by ey-
cry member of the court.
The Dufield act provided for the:
taxation of e. second-class railroad
property or property other than main
stem, franchises and rolling stock,
at local rates. The assessments were
to be made by the State and the tax
was to be collected. by the State and
paid over to the municipality. The
law Was the outcome of the contest
on the question, of taxation in the
campaign Of 1904, when Governor
Stokes was elected:
The law was in existence only n
year, as 1t was superseded by the Per-
kins act of 1906. When under the
Dufield law the State Board Of AS
SCISSORS taxed the railroads in 1905,
all the assessments of that character
were appealed to the State Board Of
Equalization of Taxes. The latter
body dismissed all the appeals, 10.
Guiding that of the Central Railroad
Of New Jersey against the city OF
Newark. That case was taken on
certiorari to the Supreme Court and
made the test case on the new law,
as the appeal Of the Central was sim
liar to the appeals Of all other rail-
roads.

Two-Cent Passenger Fare act will go

If at the end. of that time it is

are temporarily. enjoined from en-
forcing the maximum freight rate

| If the above facts, which had been
agreed to by the attorneys for the
State and for the eighteen Missouri
railroads involved. The Court in its
decision had suggested that the two
cent. fare should first have a prac-
teal trial before injunction proceed
ings preventing its enforcement be
considered.
Trenton, IN. J.-Tayes on second
class railroad property in Jersey City
assessed at $45,00O,000 must be
paid, together with all other taxes
assessed last year in that city, under
a decision handed down by the
Court of Errors and Appeals re-
yersing the Supreme Court in rela-
ton to the assessment. The higher
SQUIRT holds that in objecting to the
AK assessment of Jersey City the
railroad companies cannot go into
court and object simply as to their
own properties. The decision asserts
that they must serve all the other
taxpayers in the city and county who
already have paid their taxes under
the new law on their houses, lots and
other properties. It Is held by the
Court that if the assessment is ex-
cessive in the case of the railroads 1t
Is unfair in its bearing on all other
real estate.
