TAXES WE'LL COLLECTED.
Ninety-six Per Cent. Harvested Last
 Year.

Tax Collector Francis G. Anthony, according to record compiled by Joseph H. Hughson, has made a rec ord in the collection of taxes for the year The total amount paid in was s1,72S,s4s.SS Of this s1,4l0,o2S.4 .43 was on the taxes due this year on the grand list of 1906. This is 96 per cent. of the whole amount due the city. This beats the previous years record and that year also established a record of its own.
 During the year there was also col lected s117 7,593.1S in back taxes due to the strenuous labors of Assistant Cor poration Counsel James Kingsley Blake. From sewer assessments s52,- 72103 came in and from pavement as- sessments $193, 3,S0633 was collected, Li- censes and permits totaled s13, ,5ee. 5 and s1,63333 came in from sundry sources.
 When the years estimates were made up a year ago the board of fin ance calculated upon 94 per cent of the taxes coming in. This was beaten by two per cent. and 1t was estimated by the board that s9O,OOO of back taxes might be collected. The tax office corraled $117,593.1S, more than s27. 900 better. While the tax collection for the past year beat that of the year prev ious quite a bit, comparison is not al together fair because the later tax was greater. Still the percentage of collec- tions stands as a better showing. The previous year the collections totaled s1.5e6, ,199.51
 The figures made are based upon the grand list of 1906 and end with the year of 1907.

DO NOT FEAR WAR Dr. John Marshall Flint Speaks on Californians Idea of
 Pacific Trip.
COST WOULD BE GREAT
Treasury of Eastern Empire Could Not Stand Drain After the
 Recent Contest.

Dr. John Marshall Flint. who sue ceeds Dr. William H. Carmalt as pro- lessor of surgery at the Yale Medical school, has arrived in the city. and will commence his duties immediately fol- lowing vacation. Dr. Flint has taken up his residence at the Trowbridge house on Temple street.
 Dr. Flint comes from the University of California but the two years pre- ceding his coming to New Haven he spent in Europe. Upon his return from Europe he went to San Francisco and Berkeley to arrange his affairs for his removal to New Haven.
 He said yesterday afternoon that while he was not well acquainted with the feeling of the people in California with regard to the sailing of the fleet for the Pacific, he knew that they were glad to have the protection there
 pr. Flint says the people of the coast, especially those who are at all intelligent, have no fear of war with Japan.
 One reason the people of California do not fear fleet from Japan is thai the cost of the sending of a fleet suf- 1iciently large to threaten the western coast of the United States, is too large to be born by the treasury of the em- pire which has not vet recovered from the tax placed upon it by the recen' war with Russia.
 The reports of precautions taken or the western coast pr. Flint compared to the painting black or the dome oi the Massachusetts capitol at Boston during the war between Spain and tht United States.

A news telegram from st. Peters
burg, Russia, of March III says
1.-The Academy of Science has dis
patched a ell-equipped expedition
to the valley of Santauriakh. in
Northern Siberia, to excavate the re-
mains OF a mammoth which has been
discovered 200 miles from the village
of Kasachia. The head ana part of
the right foreleg we're exposed by the
action of the weather. and Arctic
foxes had hegun to eat the flesh, so
water was poured over the exposed
remains to form a protective coating
of ice. The remains will be trans-
ported by fifty sleighs drawn by rein
deer to the River Lena and the final
stage of the journey from Irkutsk to
st. Petersburg will be completed by
train.
"These mammoths are believed to
have lived about 100000 years ago.
The remains of the first one discover
ed we're in such an excellent state OF
preservation that some of the remn
ants of flesh, after being thawed,
sailed and cooked, we're eaten out Of
curiosity by some Russian scientists. ="

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. A Jackson Citizen
shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
1t is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kid
ney disorders. That is just where
the danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Bright's disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t
cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys. jackson
people testify to permanent cures.
Mrs Il. Boden. living in Newman
Vile, Jackson, Cal, says: "Doan's
Kidney Pills have been used 10 my
family with the most satisfactory
results. My brother first advised me
to try them while suffering severely
from kidney trouble. l had been
bothered with severe pains in my
back for a long time and finally be-
came so run down that | could hardly
get around. My back was very pain
tul and the pains were so severe at
night that l could not sleep. My
kidneys we're very irregular and gave
me great annoyance. | suffered from
headaches and dizzy spells bothered
me a great deal. At last Doan's
Kidney Pills were brought to my
attention and l procured a box at the
City Pharmacy. They helped me
form the first, l continued taking
them and as a result received a COM
plete cure. A"

New Catholic Maria ue Laws,

The following is an excerpt from
letter by Archbishop Kiordan, draw
Ing attention to new marriage laws
which will go into effect on Easter
Sunday: "There are thirteen revis-
ions guiding the action of priests, the
first of which is that every priest in
this diocese having faculties can val
idly assist at marriage within the,
limits Of his own parish and can val
idly marry within the limits of shis
own parish, people from other par
ishes, but the priest himself, without
proper delegation, cannot perform the
ceremony outside his own parish
else the marriage is null and void.
"a marriage Is unlawful If cele
brated in place where neither of the
parties has domicile nor has resided
for month. A general rule is that
tie marriage must take place before
the pastor of the bride. Registration
for marriages must be entered both in
the marriage register 5of 1.-THE sparish
and in the baptsimal registers of the
parishes where the parties we're
baptized.

SHALL WE FIND THEM AT THE
PORTALS?

Will they meet us, cheer and greet US,
Those we've loved who've gone
before?
Shall we find them at the portals,
Find our beautiful immortals,
When we reach that radiant shore?
Hearts are broken for some token
That they live, and love us yet
And we ask, can those who've left US,
OF loves look and tone bereft US,
Though in heaven, can they forget?
And we often, as days soften,
And comes out the evening star,
Looking westward, sit and wonder
| Whether, when so far asunder,
They still think how dear they are.
Past yon portals, our linn ortals-
Those who walk with him in white
Do they, mid their bliss, recall us?
Know they what events befall us?
Will our coming wake delight?
They will meet us, cheer and greet us,
Those we've loved, who've gone
before;
We shall find them at the portals,
Find our beautiful immortals,
When we reach that radiant shore.

The Way to Discomflt Rival.

If you have rival and wish to dis
comfort him, lie low, saw wood, say
nothing, keep still, be wise and wait
until you are both invited to the
same affair. Then
l. Look at him as though you were
strangers and when, seeking to intro
duce you to each other, your hostess
begins: "Oh, Mr. Blank, have you
met Mr. ----?" answer, "Oh, yes;
L believe we have met-in a sort of
way" and walk off with a super
cilious manner, shifting the evening
air.
2. Whenever he states fact look as
though you frankly disbelieved him,
and every time he ventures an opin-
ion regard him as from a psyche
pathic point of view.
3. Start interesting topics of con-
versation in odd corners, and when he
approaches let silence fall over the
group so that he will think you were
ali talking about him.
4. At dinner partake of all those
dishes which he refuses, and wave
away all those of which he eats.
.. Tell a mysterious anecdote about
recent dinner where one of the
guests stole four silver spoons. Re-
frain studiously from mentioning
names, but keep your eye upon him.
6. If he tells story interrupt him
just before the climax by holding up
your hand and whispering: "Listen !!
Was that pistol shot?''
I. Laugh loudly at every opportun-
ity, and look at him every time you
laugh.
s. If he should chance to use a word
of slang, gaze at him with Indignation
as though his remarks were at least
indicate, if not downright offensive.
9. Smile frequently, sorrowfulIy and
symPathetically at the ladies' on each
side of him.
10. Let him leave before you do,
and just before he goes give him a
significant look tinged with amuse-
ment, so that he will think you are
going to talk about him after he has
gone.
II. Eschew the dark streets, and If
you see figure ahead of you lurking
in the shadows turn around and go
home another way. Evening Sun.

Why Some Employees Lose Their
Positions
By w. Crawford Sherlock

By w. Crawford Sherlock
There is considerable truth in the
following incident which actually
happened in a large retail establish
ment.
John, l do not need your services
any longer" said the merchant to
one of his clerks who had been in his
employ only a few weeks.
why not, sir?" inquired the aston
ished clerk. you are very busy and
can not reduce your force just now
Have l not Away been on time and
performed my work satisfactorily? 2"
Il have no fault to find with you
in those respects" replied the mer-
chant gravely; "but there is a very
important fault that you have COM
mitted for which l am compelled to
dismis you"
what is it?"
"You do not keep your opinions
to YOURSELF" said the employer. "Be-
fore you had been in the store a week
you had formed an opinion of every
II of your fellow clerks. You stated
these opinions openly, and thereby
incurred the i'll will of those ~associat-
ed with you.
I'm the next place, you expressed
your opinion of some of my custom
ers, commenting upon their habits,
personal appearance, and manner of
speech. Some of these were over
heard, and you gained the dislike of
the customers, who now avoid you.
Then you undertook to criticize the
way l conduct my business, and your
remarks reached my ears. l have
been in this business for many years;
you have been here only a few weeks.
| consider it a mixture of ignorance
and presumption in you to attempt
to give your opinion of my methods.
l tell you this in the hope that it will
teach you a lesson"
Few employers are so frank and
outspoken as the one quoted above;
but, nevertheless, there are many
young men who have not succeeded
in business life because they have the
unfortunate habit of stating their
personal opinions concerning every
body and everything they see.
