STORY BY TAFT.

1t is an infrequent cabinet meeting
that Secy. Taft does not contribute
good story for the president and his
official family as a sort of appetizer
for the more serious work of the SEES
sion. One day last spring the secretary
of war came into the room a few MINI
utes late and to the surprise OF all
his genial good morning" came In
whisper He was suffering from
severe cold. What are you doing
here with cold like that?" asked
the president, reproachfully.
THAT reminds me- said Mr.. TAFT
and the president and the cabinet
forgot about his afiliction and settled
themselves back in their chairs for
the cabinet appetizer.

oral summers ago / met Lord Justice
Fitzgibbon, who was one of the JUS
tees of appeals OF Ireland. He told
me this story: He said that he was
holding the assizes In Tipperary coun-
ty, in Ireland, when a man was
brought before him on an Indictment
for manslaugter The case was proven
that the deceased came TO his death by
being hit with stick in the hands of
the defendant, but the doctor testified
that he had what they called in medi-
cal parlance paper skull When the
Jury returned the verdict of guilty,
and when the man was brought before
the court for sentence. his lordship
asked him whether he had
anything to say why sentence
of the court should not be pronounced
upon him. The man looked for a mo-
ment and then said; No. your lordship.

KNOWS ALL ABOUT WATER.
Tom Holiday Takes a Look or Two
AT the City's System.

Tom Holiday, who is now regular
waterworks superintendent, spent yes
terday going over the city's system in
company with Frank l.. Hines. who has
held the water job down so long that
the Inner circle of the American
party demanded change.
Holidays chief job will probably be
to follow the mayors wishes respecting
an increase In water rates TO provide
more money for the reckless "Ameri-
cans" TO spend. IL has been found that
the Increase in the city tax rate. while
providing a handsome increase In re-
ceipts, has not been sufficient to meet
the demands made upon the treasury
by the patriots vested with the robes
OF municipal Offices. Hence, the recon-
mendation OF the mayor that the water
rates be increased.

COUNTY CUTS OUT BIG
LUMP OF TAX MONEY

More than $1,000, or TO be exact,
7,067.9S was taken from last
years tax list by the commissioners
at their meeting yesterday. The
taxes were for the most part for
small amounts, the realty values
amounting to only about $1,000.
In explanation of the state of af-
fairs shown by the statement pre-
scented to the commissioners, Treas
urer Miles stated that the greater
part of the property had been either
wrongly assessed or had been as
sessed twice to different persons.
The largest item on the list was that
of the aggregate of patented mining
ground. the ownership of which was
unknown This sum amounted to
$4,000.
II was brought out during discus
sion of the list that like state of af-
fairs exists in connection with the
action which has been filed against

STOP PUT TO THE

React ionary Tone In the Securities
Market Evident. Many Rea-

NEW YORK, April GA reaction
AIRY tone was evident In the securities
market last week. How far the
change in speculative sentiment was
caused and how far-reaching the eff
feet of this check to the previous
advancing tendency of prices is diffi-
cult to discern. Some explanation OF
the reaction is found in the extent
to which the advance had run, a
process which would necessarily in
the course of time reach a limit in
attaining the level which 1t was in
augurated to obtain. Not only this.

hold during a possible decline.
Increasing attention is centering
on the crop outlook since decisive
influence is expected in the shaping
of the future from the years field.
The condition in which the planted
wheat las come through the winter is
considered hopeful, private authori-
ties of accepted responsibility agree
ing in estimating a high percentage
for that crop. The publication on
Wednesday of this week of the agri-
cultural departments official esti-
mate Of the condition on April will
be an important basis of reckoning
for this vital question.
Opinion on the financial situation
was shaped by the long drawn out
struggle to adjust the difficulties
which Lave aggravated the trou-
bles of the Erie, but this did not pre-
vent unfayorable inference regard
ing the investment situation to be
drawn from the Erie's case. The dis
count interest price of the maturing
Erie notes shows the excess of the
difficulties of that company in pro-
Viding for floating Indebtedness. New

and this although the rate of inter-
est return is well above the prevail

the money market Prospects for
the absorption of new issues of secur-
tiles are poor from the indication
furnished by this showing.
The same conditions are reported

TALKS
OF LONGBOAT

England outclasses America in dis
lance running
This is the opinion of Alfred shrubb,
England's champion runner. who adds
that he has failed to find a real cool
runner here.
Speaking Of the runners Of America,
Shrubb says: ''Longboat viii never be
a champion. I have tried him out for
three miles, and I ran him off his feet
in that distance. He has no speed, and
I am sure I could run him right out
inside of ten miles if he would run
me. He is overrated. and the track
that he made his great record on is
not much over seventeen miles long, If
it is any.
Il have not run any man that l
would call really good, but I have run
the best that could be produced AL
most all of my runs have been where

and I have had no difficulty in win
