Thereupon the widow and mother
raised a force and entered upon a

q thou. sublime, who on the throne
OF eyeless Night sat. awful and alone,
Before the birth OF Cronos-brooding

Upon the barren waters which asleep
Held all things circled in their geld

O silence, how approach thy shrine.
Nor tremble in the listening void to
raise
a mortal voice in praise.
Nor wrong with words such eloquence

Amid the fragrant forest hush
The nightingale. or solitary thrush,
May, on thy quiet breaking, give no

For they such beauty bring as all

Nor fear to interrupt thy dreams.
or truoble thy Nirvana with sound;
And though more fitting worship seem

OF violets in the sequestered wood,
The zephyr mild that whispereth
To the heart Of solitude,
The first unfolding of the bashful rose
That noiseless by the wayside buds

clouds
Ger azure floating with a swan-lil5e

The silver Dian pours on the calm

Where pale the lotus blossoms lie

PROMPT SERVICE FRUIT OF TAX
 OFFICE PLAN

Through the system in vogue at the tax collectors office, instituted when the present collector, John M. Don nelly, took office, all the work of the office is kept up to the minute through the efforts of two collectors and but one assistant. Through this means all the rush which greets a tax col lector's office in the last few days of collection is avoided. It takes but a glance at the books to note when a tax is paid. Just the moment the tax is paid, the stub from the tax bill is riaced on file and from there written into the books by the only clerk in the office. There is no waiting, the taxpayer just stepping up to the win dow, parting with his tax, having his bili signed by the collector and de- parting.
 Tn marked contrast is the system in New Haven. There the taxpayers to make out bill and receipt, that a ing the taxpayers in line, while the collectors are provided with a number Of clerks.
 When it is noted that the office ham, dies $300,000 in one day, the good quail ities of present. system are seen.
 Yesterday the office recorded slight ly over S55, 5,000 The Bridgeport lily draulic Co. sent it's check today, help ing the city along with a contribution of s18.170.47.
 The office will remain open this ev- euing until o'clock. Taxes will be received tomorrow with the increased interest as provided for the non-pay- ment of tax by June l.

 After Wickersham left the law firm to become attorney general he said that John Henry Hammond had be- come connected with Strong and Cad walder and represented the sugar trust in the purchase of the friar lands. Wickersham said, however, that at the time he rendered his fam ous opinion which permitted the sale of these friar lands to the trust he was not aware that Hammond rep- resented the surgar trust.
 WickerShams statement that he had on several occasions represented the steel trust came as result of a ser ies of questions by Beall as to whether the firm of Strong and Cadwalder had ever appeared as counsel for any of the monopolies."
