Sugar Trust Called.

Reassessments of duties amounting
to total increase of S1,239,00O on
sugar imported by the American
Sugar Refining Co. at the refinery OF
Havemeyer & Elder, between Decem-
ber, 1901, and November, 1907, have
been ordered by Collector Loeb, of
the port Of New York
OF this amount, il was announced
about 100000 has been paid to the
government by the American Sugar
Refining Co.
Mr.. Loeb ordered the reliquidation
of the duties on the ground of fraud
The imposition of the increased as
sessments is a result OF the trial of
the case of the government against
the American Sugar Co, in which the
government was awarded S134,000.
Ex- x-United States Attorney Stimson
and Assistant District Attorney Deni-
son, who prosecuted the case, have
been retained by the department OF
justice as special counsel to carry on
further litigation of similar nature.
In addition to the assessment of
900 the government also claims
that it has been defrauded of about
100000 in duties on sugar weighed at
the refinery of Havemeyer a. Elder,
in Brooklyn, and also of 100000 in
duties on sugar weighed at the Jer
sey City refinery prior to 1901.

The ordinary run of American
poesy is steadily improving, and at a
rate quite reasonable in the long his
tory of literature, where a thousand
stanzas are as a single line in the sight
of the muse. Take hundred maga-
zines dated within the decade, ex-
claims the New York Post, pick their
best ten poems, and you will see how
lucky the singers of our old sub
colonial school were to be born early.

stock themes of 50 per cent. of such
illusions, while the remaining five pei
cent. are college widows or bur

Of Assessing Them Spe-

Lansing.-Gov. Warner Tuesday
message urging the passage of a bill
placing telegraph and telephone COM
panies under the ad valorem tax laws
instead of taxing them specifically
upon their earnings as at present.
Such a bill has already passed the
senate but the house committee hav-
ing 1t in charge has been considering
a substitute increasing the tax on
earnings.
In the message Gov. Warner said in
part:
Awaiting myself of a constitutional
privilege and believing also that l am
discharging a public duty / desire to
call attention to the measure that has
received the unanimous support Of the
senate and is now pending in the
house Of representatives, providing for
the taxation of telephone and tele-
graph companies upon an ad valorem
basis.
The principle sought to be put into
effect by this measure is one that no
candidate or party would dare oppose
in any campaign. The use of the tele-
phone and telegraph grows with the in
telligence of the people and the inter
est of corporations catering to the peo-
pies needs and wants in these modern
methods of communication is promoted
and advanced by our schools and col
leges. Why should they bear less of
the burden of maintaining them than
the farmer, the manufacturer, or the
railway corporation?

to avoid minor inequalities in the tax.

this instance be part of the law it.

There is Biblical injunction
;ainst hiding our light under
ishel" Yet it is probable that in
iort time nearly everyone who has
as or electricity for lighting will be
orally covering the source OF light
tn a metal shade that looks very
lch like small bushel measure.
VI several years, lighting experts and
ore particularly specialists in eye
oubles have decried the evil effects
lpon the eye of the direct rays from
our modern brilliant light sources.
This has been made more evident by
the introduction and general use OF
the new high candle-power metallic
filament incandescent lamps. There
have, therefore, been many attempts
, devise method of interior illumina-
on by which the rays are reflected
ace at least before reaching the eye.
here is a considerable number of in
allations in which this indirect IL
mination" is applied in different
ways, the most successful heretofore
being that in which the light is hidden
behind brackets around the edge OF the
room and reflected towards the cell
ing. 1t has been very limited in appli-
cation owing to the loss, or absorption
of light by the rejecting surfaces, ex-
plains the Technical World Magazine,
but where the expense is not consiH ,
cred, very pleasing results were L.o-
duced. Recent developments have
been made that probably mark an
epoch in interior lighting and will
make indirect illumination very gen
eral system. In order to make this
method commercially available, that is.
bring it within the reach of the man of
ordinary means, two things were nee
essary.

cold storage eggs, when as a matter OF
fact they are more likely to be bad be.
