The shock knocked her through the rails to the street below, accounting for her sixth death, where her seventh took place through being run over by a street car in front of which she fell.

 Tonsorial artists, otherwise the bar bers of the state of New York, in sol emn conclave assembled, have not only prescribed the fashion in whiskers for the coming year but have taken a census of various kinds of creepers, The only proper face adOrnment for the coming season, if the tonsorial mandates are correct, will be a Kaiser Wilhelm mustache with a very small chin beard resembling the Hughes adornment will be considered correct In the research lines the most import ant discovery was that of the aspdra- gus beard which it is asserted flourishes on Long Island. This decor ation takes the form of a thin and struggling appendage to the chin and is declared to be in extremely bad fo-m even in rural communities. A sus- tained effort is to be made in favor of clean shaven faces, and war is de- clared on the safety razor. The lat ter is asserted to be an instrum' ut the use of which requires neither skill Tor finesse. It is regarded by the profess sionals as an abominataion and 1t is rumOred that an attempt will be made to restrict it's use for exceeding the razor limit. just as it is proposed to prosecute all persons wearing the as- paragus beard for exceeding the whisker limit. As a matter of statis- tics, however, the tonsorial trade is advancing by leaps and bounds. Twen- ty years ago seven men out of ten had their faces covered with whiskers. To- day only two out of ten do so, and it is freely predicted that in ten .'ears more a man in New York who is not clean-shaven will be a curiosity, not to say monstrosity.

New York's most famous confidence man, popularly known as Hungry Joe, who died six years ago, has again re- turned to Broadway He is now neither a ghost nor a swindler, but one of the most celebrated cases with which the central office has ever had to Geal. .. As a reader of his own obituaries he has already joined the class of Mark Twain and Admiral Rojestvensky. Hungry Joe is really a relic of antc- bellum days. since he began his occu- patton as a confidence man in 1861. He has swindled such famous men as Oscar Wilde, Judge Noah Davis. Gen eral John A. Logan. Charles Francis Adams. and many others. He las also gone under almost as manv aliases as the number of his victims. and by many he is regarded as the original gold brick man of New York. His real name is Joseph Abzc; and ha is probably the only man who ever fool ed the New York police into believing him dead when he was not He has served several terms in prison, the last of which was in the Maryland state penitentiary. from which he was re leased in 1898. Shortly afterward mo- tice of his death appeared in all ;he prominent papers in the country, and after due investigation his photogra oh was withdrawn from the rogues gal lery which it had adorned for nearly a third of a century His recent ap- pearance on Broadway, however. brought to light one of the most fa- nous criminal hoaxes in history. Hungry Joe" did not die in 1898 and the notices in various papers were in serted by friends to cover up HP fu- ture. Now Hungry Joe" has reformed and is leading a model life. Curiously enough his discovery on Broadway after he had been held dead for de- cade. was due to his peculiar and hab- itual unwillingness to yak near to the building line. He never passes the mouth of an alley or near a building and it was this peculiarity which lead to his rediscovery.

If the California republicans are wise they will bury their differences on state matters. The Taft repub- licans, which seem to control the party, should be able to satisfy the Lincoln Roosevelt leaguers until after the general election and then they can take up state rows as vigor- ously as they please. Caesar had his Brutus and the California dem Ocracy has its Independence league, but the republicans should not bank too heavily on the length and sharp ness of the Independence league dag ger. It might not dig much deeper than the cutlery of the Lincoln Roosevelt league.

Tt is a lie," said MT. Taft, an swering the charge that he had said one dollar a day is enough for a working man. That is good straight talk that the workingmen can under stand if any of them were foolish enough to have believed the charge. Surely nobody else did, for even the democrats must give MT. Taft credit everybody knows that unless the workingman has money in his pocket he cannot spend it for either luxuries or necessities. And there is no prosperity except when somebody "loosens up.

As if the California republicans did not have trouble enough already the Suffragette ladies were on hand at the convention, not asking for recognition, but demanding it. All they got was a vote of thanks, and they turned that down because they couldn't get all that they wanted. It was just like a woman. If she can't have a sealskin coat or a dir ectoire gown when she wants it. she will turn up her nose at silk dress.

The Salt river valley can't help chuckling a little over water con ditions as they now are and are bound to be in the future. We are assured of all the water we need, no matter how dry it gets, and too much rain cannot hurt anything, at least not to the extent of a disaster. The dams and railroad bridges are safe and neither the town nor the ranches can wash away-except the Alkire ranch, and that is about all gone anyhow.

PHILIPPINE SERVICE
CHARMS SOLDIERS
Discharged Men Buy Tickets
Back to Manila in Order
to Re-enIist
Special Permission Secured for
Infantrymen to Return
to Islands

Fifteen enlisted men who received
their discharge last week from the
Eighth infantry, United States army,
Immediately bought tickets by one of
the regular lines for trip back to the
Philippines. They paid $S5 each for
this passage.
When Captain C. T. Smart, the re-
cruiting officer at this post, learned of
this he sent for the men, and asked
them why they wanted to go back to
the islands, after having Served three
years at those posts. They said that
they had changed their minds since
they were paid off, and had decided
that they would go back to the ISL
ands and try and enlist there.
1t has been the rule of the war de-
partment that after man has seen
three years service in the islands he
cannot re-enlist, except for duty In
this country These men were, how
ever. so determined to go back that
Smart wired to Washington the situa-
ton, and they were yesterday allowed
to re-enlist and now once more belong
to Uncle Sans forces.
They went to the steamship office
yesterday and got their $50 refunded.
They will go to Manila in the trans
port Thomas, sailing from this port on
October 8.

MERRY MAKERS WAIT IN
VAIN FOR FAIR SALOME
Sixteen Portuguese-Americans
Lose Money, but Gain Ex-
perience at Carnival

SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 19.-Sixteen
Portuguese Americans, who visited the
Midway of the street carnival last
night want to meet the "speiler'' who
entranced them into paying % cents to
see a "Salome'' dance, which did not
take place The police also would like
to cast an eye on the missing smooth
tongued artist.
The youths, whose ages range from 20
to 25, decided to do" the Midway. They
took in all of the concessions in order,
and finally came to a fiaring red sign
announcing "Salome. the dancer that
startled Europe" Then a polite bark
er" mounted the box in front of the
tent and proceeded to paint the charms
and allurements of the graceful dancer.
A moment later 16 Portuguese-Amer-
leans had paid % cents each and filed
into the tent. The metallic voice of
the "speiler" outside melted into the
silence of the whispering winds. The
16 waited patiently for the curtain to
roll up and expose ''Salome in all
her undressed glory. But no curtain
rolled. Then inquiries outside of the
tent were made and it was discovered
that "Salome" and her troupe of
spoilers" and ticket sellers had de-
parted three days before.

.LARKSPUR CANNOT
COLLECT ITS TAXES
Attorney and Trustees Neglect
to Make Levy Legal and
S4,500 Is Lost
Because OF Unsatisfactory Con-
ditions Election May Be Held
to Disincorporate Town

LARKSPUR, Sept. 19.-Owing to an
oversight on the part OF Lucius Solo
mon, city attorney, and the town trus-
tees of Larkspur the city will be unable
to collect the rs cent tax which they at
tempted to levy.A The town council and
board thought they might levy taxes
without the enactment of necessary
legislation. According to one of the
trustees, the board thought that the
laws enacted by the Legislature, which
controls the levying and collection OF
taxes for state and county purposes,
was amply sufficient and applied to mu-
inequalities also. Therefore the board
declared a levy of rs cents on each 500
extent allowed by law. They did not
discover their mistake until the time in
which a correction could have been
made had expired
With the exception of a few men, the
embarrassing position in which the city
has been placed financially is known
only to the trustees. and they are loath
to talk about it, Won Meyerink reluc-
tantly admitted that the trustees were
cognizant of the serious oversight. He
shifted the blame from the shoulders
of the trustees to those of the city at
torney.
AS the city attorney Solomon does not
draw salary, for it is presumed that
he did not spend much time in looking
up the law on the matter.
There is approximately $500, 900 worth
of assessable property in the corporate
limits of the town, which, under normal
conditions, would net a revenue of
$4,000 per annum. This amount, added
to the $500 that is available from the
saloon licenses and other sources, would
total sc, 900 to meet the annual expenses
of the city. which are about $500.
Now the city has but $1,000 to defray
the expense of policing. street lighting
and sprinkling.
The town was incorporated in March
after a hard fight.
Because of the trouble existing be-
tween the trustees and the general un-
satisfactory condition of affairs, a
movement backed by number of citi-
zens has already been started to hold
another election to disincorporate the
town.
