cell INTO THE TRAP.

The Pittsburg assessors turned rather
a neat trick the other day and uncov-
cred more than 100000 worth of as
sessable paper. 1t seems that the wives
of the rich Pittsburgers have lodged
paying taxes on their bonds and mort
cages for years. Thousands of letters
had been sent out to Mrs. John Smith,
etc, asking for a statement of their
holdings, but replies were not forth
coming. Finally the blue book was
brought into requisition and other let
tiers. this time addressed to Mrs. Luz
ellie Jamison Smith, Mrs. Vera Worth
ington Jones and Mrs. Margaret Clancy
Green. The letters contained some
thing like this:
MY Dear Madam-You will please
furnish at once to the office of the city
assessor full particulars regarding that
block of Pennsylvania railroad stock
which the late Mr.. -, your father,
gave you on your wedding day, also
regarding the mortgages and bank
stocks which were given you by your
husband some years ago"
The bluff worked like a charm, the
use of the maiden names of the tax
dodgers giving the impression that the
assessors knew what they were talk
ing about, and the wealthy ones came
through with the schedules. Some of
the women, il is said, even begged not
to be arrested.
The enterprise and ingenuity of the
Pittsburg assessors is to be commend
ed, but we venture the assertion that
the dear creatures held OUT on them
after ALL

DIVISION OF TIME.
Chicago News.l

Though the fundamental division of
time, the day, appears intuitive to most
persons, ii is well to remember that
in the Arctic regions the marking of
this division is by no means easy Dur
ing several successive months the sun
is either always below or always above
the horizon, and the only method-a
very uncertain one-of distinguishing
between day and night is to observe
the times of high and low tide. Di-
vision of time into months comes from
the motions of the moon. Malays, Poly
nesians and Australian aborigines
reckon time exclusively by months and
days.
That greater unit of time. the year,
characterized by the regular succession
of the seasons, has presented the great
est difficulties to exact determination,
partly because the seasons are not
sharply distinguished in some regions,
partly because of the universal desire
TO establish among the year, month and
day simple relations which find no sup
port in the facts of astronomy.
Inhabitants of Venus, if there are
any, must find It extremely difficult
to establish units of time. Venus al
ways turns the same face toward the
sun; so the planet has no day, and the
lack of a moon deprives it of a month.
Finally, it has no year, for its axis
of rotation is perpendicular TO the plane
of it's orbit and the latter Is almost
circular

WAS JESUS A JEW?
Professor Haupt's mo" Stlrs the
German Scholars.
Berlin Cor. New York Sum-


An American delegate provided the prin-
cipa, theme of contention at the Interna-
tional Historical congress, which has just
discussion among German theologians by
his address The History of Galilee." the
title only yelling his real subject which
was based on the question, Was Jesus a
Jew?"
Professor Haupt answered this negative
ly, stating that Christ was not born in
Bethlehem according to the early Chris
tian tradition, but in Nazareth. He con-
tended that the assessment which neces-
STATED Joesph's journey to Bethlehem was
levied eleven years after Christs birth.
After a succession of arguments Pro-
fessor Haupt put forward his conclusion
that it was improbable that Christ was a
descendant of David. 1t was probable, on
the other hand, that he was a descendant
of the Aryan colonists of Galilee. Pos
sibly IL his genealogical tree could be
traced far enough it would be shown that
he was descendant of Zoroaster.
1t was at this point that war of words
arose between Professor Haupt and the
German professors. Professor Haupt's ar
guments were attacked in detail and per-
haps because it was a question of one
The leading German Biblical expert pres
idea when he said it was impossible to
decide scientifically whether Christ was
Jew by race. The point of Importance
was that Christ was unquestionably a
Jew by religion. Such violent diSsension
was produced that the chairman's efforts
TO calm the controversialistS were for a
long time Intellectual.

almost every mail steamer he sends a
hundred thousand dollars or so to be
placed to his private account in England
or France. / know that / assisted the
purser to shift two soap boxes filled with
gold bricks into the ships safe, and was
told they belonged to Castro. He is not
laying up treasure in heaven to any ex-
tent, but he is sending it to Europe,
where, he figures. 1t will do him some
good. They say in La Guayra that steam
is kept up in Gould's old yacht night ana
day, SO that it may be ready in case the
general is obliged to make a sudden
sneak Contrawise, the captain assured
me that the boilers are so old and rotten
they are afraid to shift her from her
moorings. At any rate, saw the steam
coming from her smokestack all the time
We lay alongside.
People who know tell me that it is
only Castro's sublime nerve that keeps
people in Venezuela who would like to
assassinate him, and 1900 or 5000 who
really owe 1t to their own self-reSpect to
put him out of the way. Yet. on Bolivar
day, when all Caracas is in disguise and
there is all the freedom of Spanish car
nival, Castro rides among the masked
throng in full uniform, and unguarded.
1t would be the simplest thing in the
world for one of the maskers to take
pot shot at him and get away with it, and
it is pretty certain that If he was once
good and dead measures for apprehend-
ing the assassin would show thorough
ly Spanish atmosphere of 'manana.'
But it is not in human nature to shoot
down In cold blood a man who is not
afraid. Even though one may not APP
prove his methods, one cannot help ad-
miring the absolute courage of the man.
The only thing I'm afraid of is he will
everyday his game; he Will want to ship
just one more consignment of gold to the
other side, and some crazy man Will drop
him. I have heard his fortune estimated
at anywhere from so, 100000 to $50 O00, 600
and some even put ii in pounds sterling.
But you can't believe all you hear in the
tropics. Enough of it is true, however,
to make your neighbor, the general, a
mighty interesting person."

ing between the Yates and Deneen fol-
lowers. and the national committee has
been unable to reconcile the differences.
The senatorial fight continues notwith-
standing the result of the primaries.
The election of Adlai Stevenson seems
certain enough. with the probable de-
feat of Hopkins for senator by Foss or
a Democrat. The reception of Mr..
Bryan in Chicago today by the hosts of
l;.boring men may be taken as a fair
Indication of how the state stands on
the presidential question.
The Republican state convention of
Kansas repudiated the Chicago plat
form and boldly advocated the guar
anty of bank deposits-a sort of forlorn
hope to save the state from Bryan and
Kern. This is the year the Jayhawkers
jump the fence.
The nomination of Governor johnson
in Minnesota affords an added element
of strength TO the Democratic national
ticket in the northwest Not only has
Mr.. Bryan a good chance to carry Min
well. the electoral vote of the Dakotas
being reasonably sure for the Democ-
racy.
The Iowa legislature is IN session and
the struggle for the toga of dead ALI
son is on. The factional fight in Iowa
is as strong as in the other states, but
there is a fair prospect that the tariff
reformers can be fed on promises once
more. This is one of the states in
which the demand for the appearance
of Judge Taft has been loud and insist
ent. Should Iowa go Democratic we
should listen for the footing of Ga
briefs horn rather than the blowing
of whistles announcing the resumption
of work in the factories the morning
after election. Stranger things have
happened.
Primaries in Wisconsin and Michigan
during the past week were hard fought,
and the chairman of the Republican
committee has been called upon to pour
oil upon the troubled waters in the
latter state. In Wisconsin Congress-
man John j. Jenkins, chairman of the
house judiciary committee, was among
the slain when the battle was over.
Jenkins was one of the men marked for
defeat by the committee of the Meth
odist general conference. Wisconsin
should go Democratic this fall If the
voters have the courage of their con-
victions.
OF Missouri and Nebraska il may be
said that unless we have a wreck of
matter and crush of worlds before No
vember both states will go for Bryan
and Kern.
The electoral vote of all the states
above mentioned was given to Roose-
welt in 1904, and he secured one vote in
Maryland. If the Republicans can ex-
tract any comfort out of the political
situation as it exists today it should
not be denied them. For the Demo-
Gratis the future is certainly bright with
promise.
