TAX RECEIVER READY FOR
YOUR MONEY TOMORROW,

Tax Receiver Ross will be ready to
morrow morning to receive your taxes
and in order to meet the expected
rush will have an extra large force
of clerks on hand to accommodate tax
payers. Mr.. Ross in fact has been
receiving a large number of letters
containing checks for several weeks
past, but under the law he could not
accept, as the law specifies october 20
as being the first day to receive taxes.
All of those who pay between october
20 and 30 will be allowed the usual
one per cent. discount. While that
amount does not mean much for small
bills, yet it does when the figures run
into the thousands.

Misty Rain This Morning.
This morning there was a misty rain.
which fell internationally, but without
great damage to the ball grounds.
Groundkeeper William Schroeder has
his large canvas spread over the dia-
mond, but the water found its way
underneath the canvas, and the entire
field was well soaked from the CON
tinued downpour of yesterday.
There were hundreds of New York
fans who followed the Giants to this
city, and when they found out there
was no game they provided themselves
with extra collars and shirts from the
h~aberdasher and remained here until
today.
Giants Are Benefited by Rest.
The day of rest has been of great
benefit to both teams, although the
Giants have profted more thereby than
the local team. The local fans are
hoping they will get a chance to see
Mathewson in the box against Bender.
They believe that on the home terri
tory that the result of the first game
will be reversed. In fact the Athletic
rooters believe that the rest of the
series simply means the routine of a
couple more games, and that the Mack
men have already cinched the worlds
title.
Chief Bender Anxious.
Big Chief Bender is very anxious for
another chance at McGraw's men, be-
lieving that he a hold them back and
lead his team to victory.
Although it looked as though Ames
would pitch yesterday it is now very
probable that McGraw will send Matty
or the RUDE into the mex fight. They
are both in condition to answer the call
today.
Indignation is still rife among the
local fans over the way S~nodgrass at
tackled Baker in the last game at New
York. 1t is probable that the New
York centre-fielder will not receive a
very f1attering reception when he steps
up to the plate at Shibe field.

ton that he had brought the poison
home to use in cleaning jewelry. He
added that Mrs. Mcfarland a never
gone to the bromide solution bottle,
but that the headache potion had al
ways been prepared by him. His
theory was that his wife had been at
tackled by one of her headaches and
had CROPPED for the bromide bottle in
the dark, thus making the mistake
which cost her life. q
As to the suicide theory, which sug-
gests itself, Mcfarland could give no
reason Thy his wife should wish to end
her life. She was in good health, ex-
cept for her occasion headaches.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcfarland moved in
the apartments in which her body was
discovered on July 1. The lease was
for a furnished house until November
/, n 1t was their intention then to
procure some other apartment. Mrs.
M~cFarland's neighbours describe her as
a remarkably reserved woman, who did
/, not make any friends, but spent all of
her time Ia her own apartments and
was seldom seen to go Tut. even with
her husband.
At the Crocker-Wheele factory it
was earned that Mcfarland had been
selected from among thirty applicants.
He was rated by J. r.. Wilson, sales
manager, as being the best advertising
manager the firm had ever had.
Formerly he had been in business for
himself in Newark. with an Office in
Broadway. Mcfarland spent all last
week at Atlantic City. where a street
car convention was in progress.
Yesterday he wrote to the firm, say
ing that his wife had died suddenly
and he would like some money. His
months salary was Immediately sent
him.
Peculiar circumstance.
Not only Is the way in which Mrs.
Mcfarland met death wrapped in mys-
terry, but a number of other peculiar
circumstances surround the case.
Between IL and IL o'clock Tuesday
night Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar A. Clifford,
who live at 34S Park avenue, separated
from the Mcfarland home by only a
narrow alleyway, heard a baby crying
continuously. They also recalled thai
