Prominent and Lines or

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Nearer to
the earth by 100000 miles than If
has been for Is years. the planet Mars
today is the object Of intense interest
TO astronomers, particularly at the
United States naval observatory here.
Its average distance from the earth
is 50,O0O.O0O miles. It's distance from
the earth today was only s5,ooo.ooo
miles.
With this proximity interest in the
planet, which is always keen, will be-
come, even among those who can not
claim to be students of astronomy, all
the keener, on account of the proba bill
ity that new discoveries concerning
matters Martian viii be made.
Mountains Prominent
Los ANGELES. Sept. 24.-No OBJ
servation was made of Mars tonight by
the astronomers at Mount Wilson or
Mount Lowe. Professor Hale and his
assistants at Mount Wilson were busily
engaged with other work. and clouds
and rain prevented Professor Larkin
from making observations at Mount
Lowe. The latter stated, however. that
he had been engaged in making OBJ
servations Of Mars for week or more
with gratifying results The noun
tains OF Mars now appear to be very
prominent, and the lines, or canals, as
they are called, gradually disappear
ing. The snow at the polar extremity
has vanished. Professor Larkin stated
the view Of Mars was the best he had
ever seen.

interest of the people, and so long as
this country is governed by party, sc
long 1t must continue to do this, and
when it fails 1t will go to defeat, and
it should go to defeat.
1.-THE State committee has never yet
interfered improperly in any legislation,
and it probably never will. But it has
never hesitated to counsel those In au-
thority as to what 1t believed to be for
the best interests of the party and the
people, and, as long as I am chairman
of the State committee, 1t will never
cease to do this.
ut Is said that its advice is unwel-
come. Unwelcome to whom? To the
Republicans who have fought the party
battles and carried the party to sue
cess? Not at all. But unwelcome to its
enemies, and its half enemies, and its
half friends. Notwithstanding this crit
jcism, the committee will go on with
what 1t has undertaken to do, and
what 1t believes to be it's duty to do
now, as heretofore, and 1t will try as
best 1t may to save the party from a
whole lot of foolishness that now seems
to threaten 1t from It's enemies.

TORTURED IN MIND
AND BODY, LEAPS
TO HIS DEATH
Louis q. Glickman III In HOspi'
tai While Family Was in
Direst Want.

With the sobbings Of his half-starved
children ringing In his ears and the
picture of his wffe's wan. drawn face
ever before him as he tossed, fever
racked, IN what he believed to be his
Court street. yesterday resolved to die
quickly. He kept his resolution. The
surgeons picked him up, crushed and
dead, from the stone paving Of a court
at the City Hospital. where he had
hurled himself ut the nrst opportunity
to take his life tina presented itself.
For three months and more he had
watched his family slowly starve. An
Invalid for more than two years. he
could do nothing to stop the cries Of
his hungry brood and was forced to
lie, day after day. on a sick bed, In
squalor and want, while his five chill
dren and his wife subsisted on the
uncertain offerings of ,ind-hearted
n%eighbors.
Finally, when the surgeons told him
that only an operation would save his
life, he was taken to the City Hos
pital, against his will, but because his
wife insisted hat he take the last
chance.
Longed for the End.
~ am going to die" he said. 81 want
to die quickly, and 1 want to die Mt
hOme.,
Tortured by the thoughts of his fam
fly, Glickman decided yesterday after
noon to end 1t all. When the head
nurse of his ward was e~ngrossed in
giving instructions to an assistant he
painfully dragged himself to the win
dow at the foot of his cot, raised the
sash and climbed on the sill.
A patient In an adjoining cot saw
Glickman raise the sash and screamed.
The nurse turned in time to see him
disappear through the window.
In Dire Want.
His widow and five children, the eld-
est aged II years. live In an ill-smelling
fiat Of three rooms, devoid of furniture,
at 200 Court street. There was furni-
ture until 1t had to be used for fuel
or SID for food. Some time ago THE

and employees Of THE STAR contrib
uted a sum for her relief. She is now

BIG CUTS TO
AVOID DEFICIT

taxable railroad property is urged. This
feature of the report was the special
hobby of William p. Martin, of Essex.
1--WE have carefully considered the
special message of the Governor re-
lating to State finances and more par
ticularly that portion setting forth the
prospective receipts and expenditures.
We have consulted with the comp
troller, from whom we learn that the
figures contained in the report are sub
stantially correct. except that the re-
ceipts have been underestimate by
the sum of 500, 900.
1.-THE prospective deficiency which
therefore confronts us, should the APP
preparations of this session equal those
of last. will be approximately $3.50, 900.
aside from this deficit the comp
troller reports that a working balance
of $3.50, 900 should be provided by No
vember 1, 1909. ~
1.-THE problem before the committee Is
not merely a deficit of $3.50, 00o, but the
necessity for an additional sun of $780,
900 in all 81, 400, 900. Several ways to
meet the deficit and to place the State
on a sounder financial basis "a been
suggested:
"One-By a direct State tax; another
by the repeal or modification of the
Perkins act, which will take away from
the counties the right to the whole or
a part of the fund which they now re-
ceive from the tax on the main stem,
personal property and franchises of the
railways.
"A direct State a is. and has been,
distasteful to the citizens of this State.
1t should be resorted to only In case
of absolute necessity. Such necessity
we do not believe exist.
tt deprive our school system, which
is second to none, Of any part Of the
revenue now enjoyed by 1t, Is likewise
an expedient which should not now be
resorted to. Possibly some counties re-
ceive more h they need. 1t is bet
ter to err, however, on the side of IN
diligence.
"It Is better to be able to educate
more children than we have, thereby
encouraging parents to move within
our borders n remain with us, than
to turn away a single child.
Other Fund Suggested.
"The State. however, has been bear
ing expenses for the cause of education
which should properly be deducted
from the fund appropriated by chap
ter LAG of the laws of 1906.
IF such expenses are deducted from
the fun and If retrenchments herein
after suggested are made, the disburse-
ments of the State will be materially
decreased.
The prospective receipts have also re-
ceived our attention, and 1t Is our opin-
Ion that the same should be increased,
so hat the State will be able moi only
TO meet all necessary disbursements,
but also to maintain a working balance.
Such increase we believe can be
Such increase we believe can be af-
fected by a retaliation of railroad prop
erty, or other property on which a tax
is now paid, and the imposition, in ac-
cordaDce with law. of a tax on any
rolling stock within our borders, a por-

"A corporation with a capital stock of
81, 000, 900 now pays an annual tax to the
State Of $1,000, or at the rate of one-
tenth of / per cent. while a corporation
with a capital stock of 100000 900 now
pays not ten times as much, but only
$4,250. but little over four times as
much. If a contrast is made with a
corporation whose capital stock Is $780,
600. 900, the disproportion becomes very
much greater.
while It has not been and should not
be the policy Of the State to discourage
large enterprises. still we believe that
the corporations whose capital stock ex-
ceeds $50, 600. 900 should pay more thar
at present, SO that the amount Of the
tax paid by their to the State will be
more in proportion to that paid by those
with a smaller capital"
In addition to the retrenchments and
sources Of revenue above recommended
we make the following suggestions;

KAISER HAS LADY DRAGON
She Guards Emperor Williams Court
Against the Entry Of Feminine
undesirahles.

There is at Kaiser Wilhelm's Berlin
palace an Oberhofmeisterin, a lady
who has been described as a court
chamberlain in petticoats, who has to
make personal acquaintance with
every lady before she may attend q
court.
A ball at the Berlin court Is an at
fair Of much ceremony, but, curious
to say, there are no cloak rooms in
the palace and all wraps have to be
left in their owners carriages.
The imperial couple do not dance,
but they watch with interest the
%pirouetting of their subjects In the
waltz, and they delight in the grace
full minuet dancing, for which there
has been a furore in Berlin these two
seasons past.
The courts in Berlin are conducted
with even more state than in Eng
land. The ladies wear no trains, 1t is
true, to their court frocks, but it is
| expected of them to spend lavishly on
their clothes, to don magnificent jew
| els and never by any chance to wear
black, and black, by the way is also
disallowed In st. Petersburg.
At a Berlin court they have an odd
way of separating married women and
| girls. Wives and daughters are mar
shalled off to separate rooms before
the fun Of the fair begins.-Gentle'
