NO MORE cow BELLS.
From the New York Mail.

From the New York Mail.
A long time ago It was discovered by
q bright genius that a lost COW wearing
a bell could be found far more easily
than & lost COW without a bell. But the
useful COW bell, when diverted from its
legitimate uses, may become q nuisance.
The abuse OF eowbells is unfortunately
by no means limited TO recurring local
elections. The good people OF Camas.
near Vancouver, Wash. have been much
troubled with these same COW bells.
Belled COWS have. il seems. acquired the
habit Of nocturnal feeding. with COW
bell orcestra accompaniment, at Camas.
Time and time again have the Camas-
ties blown out their lights and retired
with the accent on the tired with the
chickens, only TO be kept awake by the
cows. Finally, some Of the towns lead
ing citizens with political influence,
saw" the town council. There was a
gathering CO the clans. There was some
thing doing. The result has been the
passing of an ordinance prohibiting the
use OF COW bells after the curfew. Since
IT'S passage the men, women, and children
OF Camas can go 10 sleep at the proper
time. without counting 100 sheep jumping
over Virginia rail fence. and everything
is just lovely out there Legislation
laughs at thee, oh COW bells!

POPULAR BONIFACE
JOINS BENEDICTS
P. Il. S. Cake, of NOrmandie,
WedS Miss Bishop.

After resisting the Establishments OF the
Mr.. Philip II. S. Cake, the weIl-known
and popular manager of La Normandle
Hotel. finally capitulated 10 Cupid.
He was married last night at the hotel
annex and Miss Caroline NJ Bishop. OF
Hancock. Nd. acted as Cupid's personal
representative and accessory.
The popular boniface has so determin-
eddy resisted the wiles and lures Of Cupid
that his friends who have vigorously and
repeatedly urged upon him the wisdom
OF getting married, years ago had prac-
tically threw up the sponge in dismay
lie appeared Indifferent and almost be-
yond all argument. While there had been
just a bare suspicion in his admiration
for the captivating Miss Bishop. he kept
his plans carefully concealed, and pur-
sued his ways with cleverly assumed IN
difference. Not once have his friends
been led TO suspect he had at last sur
rendered and would join the benedicts.
Consequently there is bound to be a ire
mendous upheaval coming 10 him when
all his friends learn OF the wedding.
Mr. Cake has been identified with
Washington hotel life for years. and for
more than eighteen years has been mana
ger OF the Normandie. He was for d
time manager and interested in the Stock
ton Hotel and Congress Hall. at Cape
May, n. J.
The interesting ceremony was perform
ed by Rev. Or. F. D. Power, of the Yer
mont Avenue Christian Church. The bride
is a daughter of Mrs. Margaret Bishop Of
Hancock. Nd. and has resided in the city
for some time.
The happy couple left shortly after the
wedding for a trip 20 Niagara Falls and
the North. and they will be away a week.
Before leaving. Mr., Cake made an evil
dent attempt 10 mollify some Of his
friends, on whom he had so neatly stolen
a march, by declaring: This is my first
venture or voyage on the sea Of matrl-
mony absolutely"

CHANCE BEST
Taft's Attitude in Nature of Rebuff
to Bieber's Foes.

Political puzzle solvers are still labor
ing over the Georgetown colleetorship
tangle. and the answer seems to be still
as far away as ever.
Whether President Taft viii go out
side for an appointee, probably a negro,
Is causing no small amount Of talk in
the District. After the Presidents nom-
ination OF Sidney Bieber for the Office
and his rejection by the Senate, It was
thought that Mr. Taft would find an
other local man who would be agreeable
TO all concerned.
According 10 a man who has watched
the case Closely, the Presidents attitude
is in the nature OF rebuff to those who
opposed Bieber's selection. 1.-THE Senate
crowd wants to retain the incumbent.
Nyman.' said this man last night
"Bieber's appointment was, therefore.
not confirmed President Taft then de-
cided to throw over the whole fight and
go outside the District for man."
No statement regarding the probable
appointee has been issued. though it Is
reported that a Kentucky negro is slated
for the place.

No. 24-John Barrett.

AT first Mr.. John Barrett denied that he
had hobby. but, after drifting along for
a few minutes. it was discovered that the
gentleman had two separate and distinct
avocations or hobbies.
The most important OF the two is his
great interest in the foreign relations Of
the United States, and, after this, his love
for the things of nature.
Whenever there is an opportunity 10
get to the woods, and camp or fish or
hunt, one can always depend upon Mr.
Barrett enjoying the event TO its full
est extent, and adding TO the enjoyment
Of others by his genial presence. In the
course of few weeks. Mr.. Barrett will
indulge his minor hobby by trip to the.
seashore
As TO his major hobby. Mr.. Barrett is
enthusiastic. The gentleman has studied
all the phases of the foreign relations of
the United States. and Is one of the au-
thorities of the country in this line.

DISPUTED QUESTION SETTLED.
Commissioners Rule that Income
Property Must Pay Taxes.

Commissioners Rule that Income
Property Must Pay Taxes.
The long-disputed question whether or
not a hospital or other charitable or ed
vocational Institution shall pay a tax
was settled IN part yesterday when the
Commissioners made a ruling that all
such places which possess property that
produces an Income shall pay taxes on
this portion of the property.
The case which again brought up this
subject Is that Of the Garfield Memorial
Hospital which acquired lately a lot
300x100 feet on Eleventh street, between
Florida avenue and Euclid street The
hospital authorities requested the Com
missiOners TO see that this property was
exempt from taxation. just as the other
parts Of the hospital sites.
In making the ruling that this property
must pay taxes the Commissioners acted
on the accommodation OF Assessor Rich
ards, declaring that any property ac-
tually used for hospital or other purposes
of this kind should be exempt from
taxes, but when used merely for increas-
ing the revenues of the institution. 1t
should be subject to the same laws as
other property of the kind belonging to
private individuals.
