TAX BOARD
REPORTSRATABLE
RISE OF 257
Ccontipued from FIRST rnse,)

buildings that have been erected there
during the last year.
The books of the commissioners show
a decrease in the bank stock assess
ment. One of the reasons is that GER
tain stock of the Fidelity Trust Com
Ipany. assessed last year, had to be al
lowed as exempt by the board this year.
In addition there was more swearing
off of taxes this year than there was
last.
The valuation on automobiles is also
less than 1t was last year though not
because of any decrease In the number
purchased. The owners convinced the
board that the price at which they
could dispose of a car was only about
half of what they had to pay for it and
their contention was in most cases al
lowed.
The increase OF valuation on the
meadows is due to the increased de-
mand for that class of property during
the past year.
There was a material increase in the
valuation of personal property owned
by corporations. The following table
shows where the rises occurred.

The work was long and hard, and
there is not one but is glad that 1t is
over. Secretary Noah Gutter, of the
board, said today:
1.-THE work that the board and the
assessors have had to do this year
proves hat we must have more time
In which to make our assessments.
There are o many tenement houses n
so many families in the houses hat 1t
is almost impossible for II assessors
to see everyone As it is, Newark is the
most thoroughly assessed city in the
country. We have no time to do justice
to the work. If we do not have
time next year, eve will be unable to
make any report to the county board
at ALL"

Jefferson's Sayjnu,

The expression, "The Federal Gov
ernment is nothing more than the
American department of foreign
AFFAIRS" originated with Thomas
Jefferson. AS is well known, Jeffer.
son was a "Strict Constructionist," or
thorough "State's Rights" advocate.
He held that the States were the Gre
ators and the Federal Government the
created, and that Government had no
powers save such as had been loaned
to 1t for the time being by the States,
for the purpose Of translating (for and
in the name of the States) certain
foreign or interstate business which
the States in their separate capacity
could not very well attend to.

Invented Naval Torpedoes.

It was not until the American civil
war that any successful application Of
the torpedo to naval warfare took
place. Its first invention, however,
dates back many years before this,
the credit for the discovery being gen.
orally given to David Bushnell, an
American, in 1777. In 1905 Fulton's
torpedoes were successfully tried in
Britain, but their use was declined by
the government, and various other ex-
periments were tried from time to
time. Norway was the first country
to order fast torpedo boat, which
was built in England in 1873.

BOY LOSES BRAINS AND LIVES.
Receivers from Paralysis Of the Right
Arm ard Leg.


Arm ard Leg.
Denver, Col.-Albert d. Claggett, a
boy in this city, has astounded local
surgeons by recovering from a gun
shot wound which tore away part Of
his skull and brains and paralyzed his
right arm and leg. The surgeons who
were called in to attend him said he
he must die, and tentative arrange
ments were made for the funeral. For
three days the boy lay unconscious
and on the verge OF death. Then he
rallied and regained consciousness.
Notwithstanding the rally, the sur
geons thought it merely temporary.
They were astounded when he began
to mend and to regain his faculties.
Now he Is about and seemingly as
well as ever he was. Notwithstanding
the loss Of part Of his brains, his men,
tality also seemingly is unimpaired.
The boy was wounded when hunt
ing on the plains. On that hunting
trip he took with him chum. They
were having good sport when his
chum's gun was discharged accident
ally and part Of the charge Of heavy
shot struck Claggett in the temple.
Before assistance could be obtained
most Of the brains near the wound
had worked their way out, and that
was one of the things which caused
the surgeons to say positively the boy
could not survive the injury.

leap for life he made with three bears
behind him in close pursuit. The ad-
venture took place in the Kootenay
Mountains near Roseland, where he
has several mining claims.
He visited one of these a week ago.
While laboring through three feet of
snow he discovered that three bears
were on his trail. To escape them he
determined to glissade the track Of
an avalanche, and incidentally he
went over a precipice.
There was whirling through space

reported by the Rev. DR.. Newell
Dwight Hills, pastor Of Plymouth
Church, Of Brooklyn, comes into gen

His communication was directed
originally to the Rev. DR.. Isaac X.

that he could not obtain more data on
a subject which he finds far from dry.
DR.. Hills begins his communication
with observation that a prominent
woman member of his church had a

monished on the subject. The young
man went to several cities and re-

Professor Hyslop wrote for further
details Of the accurate count on liquid

Hills was unable to furnish them, as
the chief persons concerned did not
care to give them.
"It is deplored," writes Professor
Hyslop in an editorial note, that the
person mentioned in this incident
would not consent to recording this
experience. 1t might not have receiv-
ed such notice as 1t now obtains had
an account Of 1t been made. But 1t
has been deemed wise to give an ex.

first took form and began it's exist

but surely cooling off, and it is as
certain as anything in mathematics
that some time in the future the earth
will be quite cold and barren Of every

continue approaching each other, and
before them the various living forms,
animal and vegetable, will retreat, un-
til finally the only home Of life will be
a narrow belt at the equator, which
itself will at last surrender to the

Chinatown, the price Of wildcat meat
has quadrupled and is rising still. All

for wildcats-it's enough to drive the

wildcat and he absorbs ferocity with
the meat.
Six Yees and members of the On
Yick Tong have been murdered in the
last fortnight. Now all the highbind-

of the tong are gorging themselves
with wildcat, 30 as to attain the prop

Wildcats are displayed at all the
butchers stalls in the Chinese quar-
ter. The butchers, wishing to make
hay while the sun shines, are living
exclusively on mice, the timidest meat
available. Hardware dealers are
profiting too; If highbinder eats as
much as a wildcat sandwich he goes
to hardware shop and buys another
revolver.
The police of the Chinatown squad
are working night and day, and are
growing rather wild too. Detectives
who are mingling with the Chinese
every day say that more killings are
certain before the feud dies out Every

motely, either with the On Yicks or
the Yee family is surrounded by a
bodyguard of white men whenever
he appears on the streets, as it is

man is said to be turning whittier daily,
