LOCAL PROPERTY
SOLD FOR TAXES
Sale Held at Court House on
Monday and the Bidding
Was Quite Active.

Real estate which went delinquent
in 1910 in many cases was disposed
of for the amount of the tax lien and
delinquent fees on Monday at a
treasurer's sale in the first corridor of
the court house. The properties put
on the block were those which were
advertised as being delinquent a few
weeks ago, there being a number OF
properties in the list which are con-
sidered rather valuable. the owners not
being able 10 pay their taxes because
of business reverses. The total
amount of delinquent taxes on real
estate as advertised is approximate
~ $4,000.
Among the bidders were a number
of attorneys representing spectators
who bid in much of the better offer
the county treasurer, who acted in
this capacity by virtue of his office,
Meek and Skillman of Greensburg, a
specializing firm OF that place, were
particularly active and purchased
many pieces of property. Some OF the
offerings went for an amount as low
as a dollar and a half, while there
were quite a number which brought
more than $500, the amount of the bid
being in no instance less than the
amount of the lien, as the treasurer is
not empowered to sell any property
for less than the amount of the lien
which the state holds against it.
Owners of real estate who went de-
| linquent do not necessarily give up
their title to the property by virtue OF
the tax sale They may redeem it al
any time within two years by paying
the amount of the tax, the delinquent
fees and the stipulated amount of in
terest. The interest operates on d
graduated scale, 10 per cent being the
amount which the law permits to be
charged for the first six months, anG
! for each additional six months the
holder of the tax title may exact
! per cent additional in interest.

Banquet Friday.

Already 1Si favorable replies have
been received by Chairman Raymond
Mather of the Young Mems Business

one OF the largest ever held in Rich
mond. The committee has been in
formed that many intend to attend
the banquet, but have neglected to
send in post card notifying the

of the Eastern Star may know how
many TO prepare for. every person
who will attend should inform the
committee at once.
A number of letters have been re-
ceived here concerning the talk cn

joyed rare treat.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Their Effect In the First Theatsrs In
Which They Were Used.

The first theater in the world to use
incandescent lamps was the Academy ,
of Music, on HalStead street, Chicago,
the plant being installed by the West
ern Edison Light company. The the
alter was wired for $50 sixteen candle
power lamps. The lighting was con-
fined 10 the auditorium. No electric
lights were used on the stage. as dim
mers had not been thought of at that
time. On the opening night, after the
new lights were installed, the actors
struck. claiming that ii was impossible
to make up by gaslight and play their
parts under the glare of the electric
lights. 1t was with difficulty that they
were persuaded to proceed with the
second act.
The first theater to be completely
lighted with incandescent lamps was
the old Haverly theater. then located
on Monroe street. where the Inter
Ocean building now stands. This
plant consisted Of two dynamos with
a capacity of G3T lamps. On the open.
ing night only sufficient lights were
started at first to enable the ushers to
seat the audience. When the curtain
rose every light was turned on. caus-
ing tremendous sensation among the
audience and cliciting applause that
continued for fifteen minutes. The In
novation was so successful that Nc

HCNORED THE MONKEY.
Origin OF the Coat Of Arms Of the Earl
Of leinsser.


Most of the wild animals have
place in heraldry. and many strange
and impossible creatures, such as Srif-
fins. dra CONS and uDicorns. have been
invented as emblems Of daring and
valor. But the donkey and the mon
key have not been so used. except in
one instance, where the monkey has
been admitted to the ranks of titled
nobility. The story OF this adoption
is told by Mr. Curtis in his book,
One Irish Summer"
On the Lcinster coat of arms are
three monkeys standing with plain
collar and chained: motto, ''Crom-a-
boo" ITO Victory This is the only
coat of arms. l am told. that has ever
borne monkey III the design. 1t was
adopted by John FitZthomas Fitzger-
aid in 1916 for romantic reasons.
While this Earl of Leinster was an
infant he was in the castle OF Wood
stock, which is now owned by the
Duke of Marlborough. The castle
caught fire. In the confusion the child
was forgotten, and when the family
and servants remembered him and
started n search they found the nur-
sery in ruins. But on one Of the tow
ers was a gigantic ape, a pet Of the
family. carefully holding the young
earl in his arms. The animal. with
extraordinary intelligence. had crawl
ed through the smoke, rescued the
baby and carried it to the top of the
tower.
When the earl had grown to man
hood he discarded the family coat OF
arms and adopted the monkeys for
his crest. and they have been retained
TO this day. Wherever you find the
tomb of q Fitzgerald you will see the
monkeys at the feet of the efiy o.
under the inscription.

KAISER HAS AGAIN
GOT EN- GUESSING
Germany Wondering About
His Garage for Airships
at Potsdam.
BY STEVEN BURNETT.

Berlin. Feb. 13.-All Berlin is try
ing to make out why the kaiser has
taken it into his head to have erected
at Potsdam. almost adjoining the roy
al palace. a military airship garage of
immense proportions. That the kais-
err. like his brother. Prince Henry of
Prussia, is greatly interested in avia-
ton, offers no explanation, for Pots
dam is only a few miles from the ar
my's principal aero-station at Tegel
where there are plenty of buildings t,
accommodate all the military dirigi-
bles and aeroplanes. 1t has been jok-
ingly suggested that since the Reichs-
tag the other day had the audacity to
decide that the kaiser, like his hum
blest subject, must pay taxes, an air
ship might come in handy if the tax
collector calls at time when his ma
| jesty is short of cash, as he generally
is by the way. But the only half Sc
rious explanation, which offers itself
to the fertile minds of the Berlners is
that the kaiser foreseeing the POSSIBLE
ity of a socialistic revolution at Ber-
| lin, thought it might be advantageous
for himself and the imperial family to
have at the palace suitable means of
escape which revolutionists could not
follow or stop as they might a train
or a swift automobile.
\ mt, .t; anI ,n1,
this explanation is. it is so far the
only one which anyone has been able
to suggest SO far. and until the kais-
er himself comes forward with anoth-
err. thousands of people here will be-
lieve it TO be true.

TILE ROHIL LIREL ClNE

The prompt conviction and sentencing
of the scrbbler who had uttered gross
libel on King George of England will be
generally regarded with satisfaction. not
so much because of the well deserved
punishment which is thus inflicted upon
the culprit as because of the principle
which is involved in the protection and
vindication of 4 head of a state against
calumny ana the warning thus given TO
reckless SensatiOnaliSts who look for i'm
munity i'm the eminence of the objects of
their attacks.
Had the libel in question been issued
against any private individual. the pro
prietv Of resentment and punishment
would have been unquestioned. There IS
no rule of law or morals which makes
tie private character of the head of the
state less worthy of protection and VIM
dication than that of the humblest clti-
zen. 1t would be Il mOnStrOuS PROPOSE
ton that q king or a president must pas
Sively he the target for all manner OF
falSehoOd and Slandcr. II would he II
gross Injustice TO the individual. who
after all cannot be entirely lost in the
officer. and it would be an intOlerable
reelection upon the state, which owes IT
10 its own good rcpute, as we'll as TO the
person who serves ii as lis chief func-
tionary. 10 afford the protection of the
law against unmeritcd obloquy. There
j. enough legitimate criticism tO he
made concerning mans public acts
without lying about his private life.
The idea that some distorted applica-
ton of the doctrine Of HoblCSSc 0biiGc
restrains presidents and kings from de
Tending their personalities has too often
cmboldened scandal lovers and uotoriety
seekers 10 make them the objects of
reckless defamation. Also. a. apparent
lv in this case. the enemies of govern
meut have sought 10 discredit il by Will
fving its most conspicuous representa-
tives. The personal punishment of u
man who a week ago was unheard of,
and who has attained more prominence
through his crime than through all
other activities of his life. counts for
little: but the rebuke and the warning
which are given to assaSsiHs of charac-
Ter are of substantial value to the world
