The December American Magazine.

As the laws are today no veal
thy man who has proper legal ad-
vice, need pay any direct taxes on
personal property" is the statement
made by Hon. Lawson Purdy, Presi-
dent of the Tax Commission. 1910.
Using as his text, A. ]. Mock leads
off the December American Maga-
zine with an article in which he de-
scribes the tax laws in New York
under which only the small mer-
chant and householder have to, pay
while the rich man, like August Bel
mont. T J Ryan, VIM X Vanderbilt,
Jr, Payne Whitney, Robert Goelet,
get off without contributing a cent.
The personal property tax laws Of
most States are equally as faulty as
those of New York.
MIR Aldrich's methods in construct
ing the tariff bill is Miss Ida M Tar
bells subject in her article on The
Mysteries and Cruelties of the
Tariff" Miss Tarbell brings to
light the interesting fact Mr. AL
drich, who Arbitrarily increased the
duty on rubber goods, is himself a
stockholder in the U S Rubber Co.
Other features are: DR. William
Osler's article on the successful
progress of the fight to save human
beings from pain and suffering;
William Allen Whites "Insurgence
of insurgency, an eloquent indict-
ment of Diaz and his government by
a Mexican patriot in exile; The
Autobiography of a NeureSthenic;;"
and The Struggle for the Meat"
by Frank B Copley, in which the au-
thor describes a superb and inspir-
ing deed of heroism which occurred
while the ill-starred Greeley expe-
dition was in camp at Cape Sabine.
1t is safe to say that there is no
more thrilling story of bravery and
courage in history

The Christmas edition Of The
Record will be something out Of the
or dinary this year, If the business
men of our town and county will
back US up. We want to get out an
issue of from IL to II pages with
beautiful Autographed covers. Be
sides the usual amount of reading
matter we will have a section de-
voted to CHI istmas stories, sketches,
poems, etc.
We expect to issue the Christmas
paper on December Is, so as to give
ample time for results to our adver-
tisers. We want advertising copy
as early as possible for this edition.
1t will cost us about $50 extra ex-
pense to get up the paper we want
to issue, besides the double amount
of work involved. But we never
spare labor or expense to give our
readers good paper. They have
never failed US through a dozen
years until we have been able to
equip one of the best printing Of
fees in the State for a weekly pa
per. The best is none too good for
The Records patrons and we shall
spare no pains to give them a first
class newspaper all the time-but a
little better at Christmas because
it is Christmas.

liberal merchants, bankers and other
enterprising business men, the price
Of subscription would be at least So
a year for such a paper as The Rec

men who advertise are wide-awake
and on the alert and can give you
better bargains than those who do
not advertise. This applies not only
to Kingstree. but many live and up

Scranton and Greelyville recognize
the pulling power Of an ad in The

Tacoma's Great Stadium.

Tacoma's High School, which plays
an important part in Pacific Coast
athletics, is the only high school in
America having an Olympic stadium,
If not the only one in the whole
world
1t is a ponderous mass of steel and
concrete, just completed at cost OF
more than 100000, in a gulch at one
side of the high school building. The
gulch happened to be Just the right
shape for the stadium, so but little
excavation was required. The struc-
ture is shaped like a horseshoe, with
the open end overlooking Commence
ment Bay. 1t will seat $4,000 people,
has a centre sufficiently large for
baseball, football, track and field
events, and will also be used for out
door musical concerts and entertain
ments.

Spare the Invalid Nerve Irritation.

Silk petticoats, starched wearables
and creaking shoes should be avoided
by the attendant in an invalid's
room. Whispering is intensely irri-
tating to a sick person, who naturally
concludes that his symptoms are so
bad that they have to be discussed
in an undertone. Conversation be-
tween the nurse and visitors should
be in a low tone of voice, but quite
distinct; If there is anything to be
said that the invalid must not hear,
1t would better be said in the hall,
entirely out of his sight, earshot and
Imagination. A small table in the
hall, outside the sick room, will be
appreciated by the nurse and by who
ever has to deliver and call for the
invalid's food tray.-Detroit News-Tri-

Woman and the Commune.

'The mad fury which seemed to
have taken possession of the mob IN
Paris found its most enthusiastic cN-
ponents in the women, who were anx-
ious to proceed to the extreme meas
ures which the men deprecated"
writes Lady st. Heller in her book
Memories of Fifty Years" THE or.
ganized corps de petroleuses were a
savage crew, who had no feeling of
pity or mercy In their hearts and
would have sacrificed even those they
loved most dearly to the cause which
they had espoused. They co-operated
actively with the commune, deluging
what public buildings they could with
petroleum and then setting light to
them, and most of the fires that broke
out in Paris on the entry of the troops
originated through their action. They
went down into the streets and fought
at the barricades, showing superhu-
man courage, and when one of the
great fights took place at the barri-
cade in the Rue de la Paix, which was
defended by the communists, the first
person to mount it and to hoist the
red flag Of the revolution was a wo-
man"

Proposed Address to Students Will

Ithaca, n. Y, Oct. 1S.-The proposed
address to the undergraduates Of Cor
nell university by Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt when he comes here on Oct.
"a on his so called sociological trip
through the abandoned farms of this
country won't be made after all.
While no official announcement was
forthcoming, member of the board
of trustees said that Mr.. Roosevelt
would not speak on the campus be-
cause of the opposition Of Democrats
and because it was felt that during a
political campaign his presence there
might be miscOnstrued.

Health In Cities.

Municipal responsibility for the
health of the people is a well estab-
lished proposition. But the cities hold
to the theory and, despite all that is
actually done, disregard the fact in
many ways. There may be some
clash of departments. a case Of over
tapping or disputed jurisdiction, and
insanitary conditions are allowed that
are more detrimental to public health
than all the efforts that are made to
obviate disease are productive Of
beneficial results. Often the case Is
one of pure neglect. ignorance or in
difference. Only recently have the
school authorities in American cities
undertaken to lessen disease at its
source among the children of the
schools. Yet not half has been done
that might be done; indeed, not a
raction.-Baltimor American.

I, doubtful. Some philologists say 1t

rived from the Icelandic bull-"non-

attempted. but the best probably Is

difference between wit and bulls" !"

A Prank OF the Sea,

Some years ago a certain Captain
Hodson, afterward an inspector in the
Honolulu customs force, had a re-
markable experience when the schoon-
er of which he was in command was
caught in a storm
While Hodson stood with the man
at the wheel, to see that the schooner
was kept ahead of the wind. an enor-
nous wave swept the vessel from
stern to bow. throwing the wheelman
fiat on his face and tossing the cap
tain overheard.
AS Hodson was swept over the side
into the foaming water the ropes
holding boom broke and let the
hook drop to the deck, with one end
hanging out over the side Of the
schooner. A broken rope dangling
from this end hit the captain on the
head. and instinctively he seized It..
The speed OF the vessel dragged him
along beside her. Presently the ves-
sel gave a tremendous lurch. and her
buIwarks went under water, when a
gigantic wave tossed the captain
aboard again. His presence gave the
man at the wheel a terrible shock,
for he thought the captain had been
drowned. They finally weathered the
storm and brought the schooner and
her cargo safely to port.
1t is thought that this is the only
instance of record of a man having
been washed overheard and then
washed back again.

BALLONISTS RACE
Ten Begin International
Contest From St. Louis.
MANY DELAYS IN STARTING.
Bennett Cup and S4,75o Are Prizes Of
fered - sehaeek and Armbruster
Seek Their Air Line at an AIti-
tude Of $500 Feet.

st. Louis, Mo-. Oct. 1S.-Ten monster
racing balloons, representing four
countries, have started in the annual
international race, for which the prizes
are the James Gordon Bennett cup and
$4,750.
All starting heavy, as the aeronauts
say, with the exception of Schaeck and
Armbruster in the Helvetia, which got
away light and sought better air line
at an altitude of $500 feet, the ten
balloons headed north by northeast and
north when they left the ascension
grounds.
The balloons starting last had not
only the advantage of the twilight and
cool gas, but also of a better air direc-
ton, for as one by one the aeronauts
rose they pointed more and more to
the north.
There were so many delays in start
ing, due to the pilots inability to in
fate their balloons promptly and so
have time to hook up, weigh and pre-
pare for the getaway, that the sched-
uled starting time was abandoned and
the balloons sent away in order as
promptly as possible.
Three Of the foremost pilots in the
race were ready to start when their
turn came and went off within a period
Of three and one-half minutes. They
were Leblanc, in the Isle de France,

A Beautiful Alloy.

DR.. Roberts-Austen of England has
succeeded in making out of gold and
aluminium a compound metal or al
10y which Is said to be the most
brilliant known. It's general hue is a
splendid purple, but as 1t is turned in
the light it reflects bright tints Of
ruby color.
A little more than three-quarters-
more accurately, 7S per cent.-of the
alloy is gold, the remainder being
aluminium.
Certain of the expectations with
respect to the possibility Of substi-
tuting aluminium for steel and iron
are not likely to be realized, but that
metal is proving OF great use in COM
bination with others, and the discov-
cry by DR.. Roberts-Austen, is expect
ed to lead to the production Of very
beautiful effects in jewelry.-Harper's

BERRY DEALS WITH
LIQUOR INTERESTS
On Local Option Platform But
Pledged Not 10 Work For Il.
HYPOCRISY OF THE MAN
Accuses Both His Rivals, But Cannot
Deny That He Made compacts With
Saloon Men.

William II. Berry, the keystone
Party nominee for governor, has up to
date failed to reply to the charge that
he made a deal with liquor men and
representatives of liquor interests,
both prior to and at the Allentown
convention, to win the support Of sa-
loonkeepers and others affiliated with
the liquor traffic in his effort to win
the Democratic gubernatorial nomina-
ton.
Although II is some time since
Mayor Liebel, of Erie, formally charg.
ed Mr.. Berry with holding a confer.
ence with Jim" Mulvihill, the liquor
mems state representatives, at Allen
town, with a view to getting the votes
Of certain delegates in the Democratic
convention, Mr.. Berry has made no
specific denial.
The charge Is now made that during
the gathering of Democrats at Harris
burg, when the date for the state con-
vention was being determined upon,
Mr.. Berry met representatives of the
Lackawanna county Democracy, who
are largely interested in the whisky
and brewery business, and gave them
such assurances that he was promised
the votes of the delegates to the Dem.
ocratic state convention.
When the Lackawanna delegation
reached Allentown they wanted a d.
rect interview with Mr.. Berry, and
they were closeted with him in a room
on the Hotel Allen for some time. Then
and there Berry assured them that il
he was elected governor he would dc
nothing to further the cause of local
option and they could depend upon
him to be absolutely neutral.
So satisfactory were the guarantees
given them by Mr.. Berry that every
man in the delegation when the roll
was called in the Democratic conven.
ton voted for William H. Berry.
Liquor Men For Berry.
In this delegation there were five
saloonkeepers and one collector for a
brewery. There were a number of
other liquor men n various delega-
tions in the Democratic convention
who voted for Mr.. Berry upon assur.
ances received from him.
