Albany. Feb. 19.-The state Board OF Tax
commissioners made public to-day the
tentative special franchise assessments for
New York City for 1910 They show total
of s46s, 100 as compared with s474 CO1, 900,
the total final assessments for 1909
The decrease is caused by the lowering Of
the assessment on the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company from s24 0l2 900 10 sl2,0
The lowering of the company's assess
ment was caused by q Court of Appeals
decision that 1t has no taxable franchise
rights except at crossings. The decrease
in the totals this year as compared with
last year is s5114.soO If it had not been
for the lnterborough decision there would
have been an Increase of SIS. $500.
Among the principal assessments this

and accepted.
Lieutenant Zeska belongs to the artil-
lery stationed in Pesth, and as there
was a field day next morning the duel
was put off till the day after by imme-
date agreement Of the seconds.
The lieutenant repaired to his quar-
tiers. Full of the matter, he sat down
and wrote a long letter to his widowed
mother. giving her all particulars. The
lieutenant left this letter on his writ
ing desk. Next day he was on duty
till nightfall.
In the meantime Lieutenant Zeska's
servant saw the letter and, as he fire.
quently before had delivered similar
ones, trotted off with it to Nine. Zeska.
She was in despair that her only son, a
mere STRIPPING, was to fight with the
Ritter. a much older man and famous
for his prowess on the field Of honor.
After futile attempts to see her son
she went to see the actress. To her
she told all and showed the letter. And
she prayed the actress to a " her only

Austrian Lieutenant's Sweetheart Takes His Place In Duel With

The actress at once went to the caval.

the Ritter. For the sake of her boy ad-
mirer and his sorrowing mother the
actress made a secret compact with
the hussar. But he insisted that the
duel must take place. 1t was impossi-
bic for either party to withdraw. If
the Ritter shot in the air, the artillery
officer would surely shoot to kill, and
so some willing substitute must take
his place.
A plot was Matched. The Ritter, the
actress and Nine. ZeSka were the only
parties to it. The mother did her part
well. She administered a sleeping
draft to Lieutenant Zeska and gave
the actress one of the ~lieutenant's uni

Most romantic is the tale which
comes from Ofen. in Austria, Of the
latest thing in duels. A young ac-
tress after promising the mother Of a
youthful admirer to save him from a
challenger found no way but to take
his place. This she did successfully,
dressed in her admirers uniform. The
duel occurred a few weeks ago, but
the facts have only just leaked out.
Fraulein Loefer is one of the most
bewitching of the younger actresses
attached to the Orezy theater. She is
a great favorite with the younger Off
GERS and students and the toast at
many of the cafes. In Der Bettelstu-
dent and other plays she enacts the
role of the young officer. the midship-
mite and youths parts generally.
At a noted cafe on the Andrassy
strasse the other night-so goes the
tale-a party of officers We're gathered
at a late supper. The wine flowed
freely. and the talk was that of wom-
en- and love adventures. Fraulein
Loefler's name was mentioned. Ritter
zu RichthOfen of the hussars made a
sneering insinuation about her. In

feet. called Ritter a liar and threw his

Driven to Suicide by Cheese.
%Frenchman, Unable to Bear odor Of Parents Pet Frontage, Shoots
Himself In Stomach.

When a big marches cheese made
its appearance OH the Dufrcsno table
the other day there was q more violent
scene than usual. Pierre said that a
self respecting pig would not eat such
n%auseating stuff. The elder Dufresne
avowed his belief that porcinc progeny
were possessed of truer tilial feeling
than Pierre. Mrs. Dufresne stopped
eating the cheese long enough to in
dorse her husbands opinion. An elder
brother joined in the r~eproaches of
father and mother Dufresnc against
Pierre.
The young man arose from the ia
bic and declared that he could endure
the disgusting smell of marolles cheese
no longer. Life was no longer worth
living if he was to be confronted with
it every day. He fled from the room,
banging the door behind him. A few
minutes later another bang was heard.
1t was a pistol shot. Pierre had fired
a bullet at his heart, but his aim was
bad or his knowledge of anatomy de-
fective. and the bullet lodged in his
stomach. with the result that even if
he ecove his digestive organs will
be in a far worse state than if he had
dieted himself steadily all his life on
nothing but cheese Of the marolles va
riety.

Some queer things have been respon-
sible for suicides and attempts at sui
cides. but it is doubtful if anybody
ever tried to rid himself of life for a
stranger reason than that which has
just led Pierre Dufresne, a young Paris
locksmith. to seek q speedy exit from
this world. for Pierre Dufresne now
lies in a hospital in q critical condition
because he preferred death to q life
in which his delicate o~lfactory organs
were frequently assailed by the odor
Of Il certain variety of cheese of which
his father and mother were inordinate-
ly fond.
This cheese is called marches. The
smell Of it closely resembles that of
l%imburger. Pierre's parents ate of it
at every dinner. Pierre always pro
tested when it was brought on the ia
bic and said nasty things about the
tastes of people who would load their
stomachs with such offensive stuff. An
CRY discussions followed. The father
would bang his fist on the table and
declare that he intended to keep on
eating that sort Of cheese as long as
he liked it and could afford to pay for
it. and, furthermore, he didn't care a
hang what his unnatural. unflial son
thought Of it.
