Budget.

The origin of the word budget"
meaning an estimate of government
avenues and expenses, is thus ex-
planned:
Almost from time immemorial it was
the custom in England to put the esti-
mates of receipts and expenditure
presented to parliament in a leather
bag, the word budget being thus bor-
rowed from the old Norman word
bougette, which signifies leather
purse. Curiously enough, the word
has passed back again into France
from England.

Market Street Business Mems Improve
ment Association met at "a Market
street today to take up the question of

the Scott type in use in South Broad
street and the "Toering' lamp, which
is being used in. Market street.
The test will be made in the New
York testing laboratory and will deter
mine the Illuminating efficiency of each
lamp. Mr.. Osgood said that the, result
will be known in about two weeks. He
also promised to have a photometric
test made in the street to determine the
comparative brilliancy of the two types
of lamps.
The Public Service Corporation Is
under contract to furnish Market
street with a lamp equally efficient in
illuminating power with the Scott lamp
the result of the report of the test and
other data to be furnished, the trustee

TAX BOARD GETS
TWO DECISIONS
Herber Boggs Says They May
Tax Some Goods in
Storage.

Two decisions of great interest to the
today by Herbert Boggs, assist
ant city counsel, to the Board
er. or not these decisions would
be upheld in the case of an ac-
ton brought in court means differ
ence of many thousands of dollars in
the taxes to be assessed for the present
year. The more important of these two
decisions has to do with the property
stored in the Polar Cold Storage Ware
house. protest against the taxation
of the property stored in the ware
houses of this company was lodged be-
fore the board. on the ground that
such taxation would be in violation of
Interstate commerce"
In his decision Mr.. Boggs says that
the goods stored in warehouses are liza
BILE to taxation under the general laws
of the State, when this State is its
destination and it is brought here for
the purpose of being placed on sale
here. But if the ultimate destination
of these goods is another State, and
they are stored here only temporarily
then they are not subject to taxation
The second decision affected the pro-
test made by the New Jersey Plate
Glass Company, which claimed an ex-
emption on premiums due from agents
in other States than New Jersey. on
which taxes to the amount of SAT, ,312 81
had been paid. Mr.. Boggs. in his de-
cision, states that 1t does not appear
that the company had actually paid
that amount to some other State within
the twelve months next preceding May
20, 1909. and for this reason the COM
pany is not entitled to he exemption
Both decisions were accompanied by
precedents taken from Supreme Court
proceedings, and the members of the
board are confident that the stand they
have taken in both these matters will
be upheld by the courts,

sQUABBLE OVER
!. INSANE PRISONER
Police and Asylum Officials De-
lay Over Transfer of
Joshua ILL.,"

There is a clash between the police
of the Fourth Precinct and the officials
at the Essex County Hospital for the
Insane over the transfer of an insane
man now held in the Fourth Precinct
police station. He is Rudolph Koehler,
of $50 South Eleventh street, and he
imagines he is Joshua the Third.
The police will not, transfer him to
the asylum because they say it is not
up to them to do SO. The asylum
people will not go to the police station
for him because they say it is the busi-
ness of the police to bring him to them.
In the meantime Koehler is locked
up in the station house. He had been
there since TAO a. m. yesterday. when
he was arrested by Policeman Kroenel-
bein. He was 1adjudged insane yester-
day by Police Surgeon j. Henry Clark
DIR. Din, superintendent OF the asy-
lum, said today: "It is up to the po-
lice 10 bring the man totus.. We have
no way of getting him."
DR.. Clark said:
If the asylum people do not come
after this insane man we will turn
him loose unless something is done
pretty soon. We have no right to keep
him.

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, July rs. :
Harry K. Thaw turnedsto kiss his aged
mother today as he strode firmly TO the
stand to prove by his own words that
he is sane and deserving release from
Matteawan Asylum. Then he settled
back in the witness chair and in low,
but steady voice began his duel with
District Attorney Jerome His very
first statement made a sensation in
the courtroom.
"I believe" he said, that in acquit-
ting me the jury was largely influenced
by the belief that Stanford White de-
served his fate.
Another reason I was acquitted" he
concluded, was believe because the
attorneys on both sides. told the jury
that my act was caused by certain de-
lusions."
Took Hypnotic Lessons.
The district abandoned this
tack and spoke of hypnotism. Did
YOU ever take lessons of a hypnotist
named Ferris?"
.sThey could hardly be called lessons .
said Thaw, smiling. Il talked with
I him four or five times
Did you ever think that Stanford
White exerted a hypnotic influence over
Miss Evelyn Nesbit?'
From her remarks thought such a
thing possible. At least he certainly
had very strong influence over her.
Did your wife reproach you for

Mrs Merrill testified. and say she
could get a divorce on that ground
And did you tell her that she could
not?" asked Jerome.
No"
Are you willing that we should call
her here as witness against you?"
Thaw hesitated, and his attorney
interposed an objection. declaring thai
he insisted upon the privilege of the
/ domestic relation. under which he could

MYSTERIOUS OLD TOM ALLEN
Convict Old and Decrepit and Re-
manning Under Assumed Name
May BE PardOned.

ATLANTA, Ga.-"OId Tom Allen,
an inmate of the state penitentiary
and one of the most interesting char
acters at the state farm, will proba-
bly, be given pardon by the state
authorities soon, because-weI, be-
cause he fought under Lee and Jack
son in Virginia and was a tattered
soldier boy at Appomattox. He not
only fought under the great confed-
crate leaders, but is so proud of that
service that he refuses to make his
real identity known, having insisted
upon serving in the penitentiary un-
der non de plume.
Tom Allen was convicted of horse
stealing at LaGrange, Troup county,
in 1906. The trial was conducted by
Judge Freeman. Before sentence
was passed the Judge was called
away, and Judge L. S. Roam of the
Stone Mountain circuit, completed
the term. The latter Judge imposed
sentence-the minimum, four years,
for the offense
Allen was mysterious prisoner
No one knew from where he came
or how he got there. When sentence
was imposed the court tried to draw
him out as to his identity He de-
Clared that he was masQuerading I'M
der an assumed name, and refused
to give the real one or to tell of his
previous whereabouts.
Il served under Lee and Jackson, "
he said, and l refuse to disgrace
| my old comrades by making my
identity known" is what he said in
effect.
He was sent to the state farm,
where his prison life has been one of
comparative ease. But according to
| the records of the commission, he has
been far from an ideal prisoner The
restraint has palled upon him, and
he has missed no opportunity to try
to escape. Two such attempts are
charged against him. 1t is also de-
clared that he has been guilty OF
such unsOldier-like conduct as try.

prisoners at the state farm.

GOLD BRAID AND BRASS BAND
Will Be Conspicuous by Their Alb
sence at Browns Inauguration
on Saturday, June 26.

Joseph NJ Brown will be inaugu-
rated governor on June 26. The
Legislature meets the fourth We'd
nesday in June, which is the 23rd,
and the constitution provides that
the Inauguration must take place
during the first week of the session.
If no definite date is set by the
legislature then it is provided it shall
take place on the first Saturday fol-
lowing the opening of af the legisla
tive session. The legislature has not
in recent years set a definite date,
but accepted Saturday as the date
fixed by law. Such was the case with
both inauguratiOns OF Governor Ter
rell and with that of Governor Smith.
There has been no suggestion of
any inauguration ceremonies other
than those provided by law. Mr..
Brown has stated that he doesn't
want any. He says he just intends
to get oft the Marietta street car,
walk over to the capitol unless it is
raining, and wait for the legislative
committee to escort him into the hall
before the joint session. Then after
taking the oath and receiving the
great seal of the state he will deliver
his inaugural address and go to the
executive office. Two years ago there
was a big parade with military, gold
braid and brass bands. This time

SAW THE WORD GOD" EMBLAZONED in SKY
Party Who Witnessed Phenomenon
tosh County Were Awe-striCken.

The Savannah Press says a strange
and unusually interesting phenome-
uon was witnessed at Jones Station,
in Mcintosh county, on Friday after
noon by Mrs. A. H. Lane of Sayan-
nah and Mrs. Myra Baker and sew
eral other ladies at the house of the
latter. 1t was late in the afternoon,
nearly sunset, in fact, when of the
ladies exclaimed:
What is that?" and pointing to
the sky in the north all saw the
word God" as plainly as they had
ever beheld it in any book. The let
ters were large and appeared clearly
on the sky, lasting for at least thirty
seconds. The the G disappeared,
followed by the o, and finally the D

awe stricken at what they had seen,
and believed that it was something
of the supernatural which they could
not understand.

BORN IN NOAH'S ARK.
The First Turk Was Grandson of
That Patriarch.

The first Turk, according to Os-
manli historians, was a grandson of
Noah. They believe that more than
eight human beings were in. the ark.
The additional person was the eldest
son Of Japhet, born during the flood,
and his name was Turk, they say.
A descendant of Turk in the fourth
generation, one Alindje-Khan, had
two sons (twins), who were named
Tatar-Khan and Mogul-Khan. Ia
tar was the father of the Turks; Mo
sui was the father of the Mongols.
Turks and MOngols were thus
closely connected by birth, and the
wars which at once broke out be-
tween them, and the reconciIiations
that speedily ensued had much of
the nature of family qUarreIs. The
Turks were the more frequently
triumphant, one Mongol throne af-
ter another yielding to their arms.
Not till the christian era was well
advanced did the chronological name
of these children of Japhet appear
in history.

wife of Justice y. H. Lane of Savan-
nah, and the others are we'll known
ladies Of Mcintosh county.
On Sunday afternoon another in
teresting phenomenon appeared in
the sky at Jones Station at sunset
when the sky was overcast in a red
dish light which bathed the earth
and trees and houses and people in
some wonderful and unseemly color.
This lasted for several minutes, and
was one Of the most interesting
sights ever seen in that section.
Prof. Ashmore of Savannah, who
is regarded as authority on matters
of this character said, when told of
the occurrence, that it was probably
caused by some reflections of the sun
through the clouds. He cited the
fact that often clouds could be seen
that resembled the outlines of ami
mails and of various other things, and
that this was probably an occurrence
of a similar nature.
