1.-THE Burgomaster'' does not pretend
to have any deep laid plans, or, as the
programme confesses. to be free from
anachronism, but 1T does provide three
hours of pretty seenes. sparkling mu-s
sic and lots of fun combined. The
piece was welcomed by crowded
house at the Grand last night, and its
reception only forecasted the success
which will doubtless attend it during
the week. In the title role 1t need
only be said that Mr.. Gus Weinburg
was all that his admirers expected him
to be, and Miss Ruth White, who was
again seen in her original part, Willie,
achieved the success Of the evening.
As Doodle Won Gull, the Burgo-s
masters secretary, Leo Kendall ex-
hibited a quaint drollery, which was
irresistible, while Miss Marion Mack's
burlesque of the lady theosophist
evoked roars of laughter. The charms
ing voice of Miss Marie Grandpre
was heard to advantage in the songs
which fell to her as Catherine Wander
Beck, while the remaining roles were
all adequately filled. THE Burgo-
master is excellently staged, and the
piece went with a swing from start
to finish.

in the spring of 1905, he has done
comparatively little public playing,
having devoted most Of his time to
composition, but those who heard
him during his tour of Great Britain
last spring, assert that never in his
career has he played SO wonderfully
as. he does now. AS result of his
retirement he will soon give to the
world a great symphony, new
opera and on this tour he is playing
some new pieces that he has written
for the piano.

No. l..

Three proposed amendments to the
state constitution will be submitted
to the voters of Ohio at the November
election.
They will be arranged in order as
above and will occupy the first col
umn of the ballot, SO that few voters
can overlook them, as has usually
been the case in the past, when they
have been place in the last column.
Amendment No. is to empower
the legislature to classify property
for taxation instead of following the
present system Of taxing all kinds of
property at a uniform rate. In
other words, homes would be taxed
at one rate and stocks, bonds, ETC., at
another. The idea is to tax intangible
property at a lower rate than real
estate in the hope of inducing it to
come out of hiding. II you vote
yes" on this amendment, you vote
for one rate of taxatidA for the home
and a smaller rate for stocks, bonds,
etc. If you vote mo- bonds will have
to pay the same rate as the home
and other forms of real estate.
Amendment No. 2, providing that
the legislature shall meet on the first
Monday in January next after the
election of it's members, is simply for
the purpose of clearing up e doubt
growing out of the biennial elections
amendment as to whether the legis-
Iature shall meet only in even-num-
bered years.
| Amendment No. 8, to require
simply a two-thirds vote of the legis-
lature to pass a bill over the gov
ernor's veto, is to correct the blum
der which was made when the veto
power was given to the governor by
requiring that bill, to be passed
| over his Veto shall receive at least
as many votes as it did on its original
passage. Under the present law a
single member of the legislature
might block the passage of the bill
over the goevrnor's veto by with
drawing his support.
There is not expected to be any op-
position among the voters to the last
two amendments, since both are
merely to correct technical defects in
the present laws. There is expected
to be a division of sentiment, how
ever, on the first amendment relating
to a change in the method of listing
property for taxation.

SATISFIED MILK DID
NOT CAUSE TYPHOID

Several weeks ago the local health
officers sent several samples of milk
gathered in the city to Professor
Schnee, of Cleveland. to have them ex-
amined for traces of typhoid bacilli.
1t was believed at the time that much
of the typhoid fever that was preva-
lent then came from the milk used
from certain milk routes. When the
examination was made the professor
failed to find that there was anything
wrong with the milk. The professor
then requested samples of the water
that was used at the dairies from
which this milk rad been secured. The
report has just been received. One
of the wells was reported in good con-
dition. the second badly contaminated
with matters unfit for use while the
third was suspicious. DR.. DaHinden
says that these wells are out of the
juridiction of the local board, but he
will inform the dairyman of the con-
dition of the water and there is no
doubt but what they will discontinue
the use OF II. The members of the
board of health are inclined to the be-
lief that much of the typhoid fever
in the city during the summer was
contracted while those who had it
were on their vacations. when much
