Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Trenton, Oct. 30.-The ess emit
against the railroad and canal prop
erty in this state for 1912 was an
nounced today by the State Board of
Assessors. The total figures are
333S,741.0 92, an increase over the
1911 valuations OF @14,199.975.
While the new assessment shows this
large increase the 1912 figures are
still more than $46 5000, 200 less than
the result of the special retaliation
of all this property made last year
by Charles Hansel, the expert en-
gagged for this purpose. The Hansel
valuation was $384.547,232 but up
on appeals from the railroad compa-
MES this was cut by the state board
to $324,541,117.

INTEREST IN
WILSON APPEAL
Governor Has Finished His
Address to People.
(From the NEWS Correspondent

tfTOUt tN6 NJ NO tOTTeSUOHuBHEsD
Trenton, Oct. 30:-Conslderable
interest was manifested among the
Democratic politicians who called
upon Governor Wilson at the State
House yesterday as to what he would
have to say in his special message
to the voters of the country, which
is to be read in practically every
town and county in the country next
Saturday as a feature of the celebra-
ton OF Wilson and Marshall day.
The Governor completed this mes
sage three or four days ago and as
it was written for the special pur-
pose of making a final plea to win
votes for the Democratic ticket, IL
is generally believed it's contents will
be of unusual import.
1t is understood that it deals Ell
fectualIy with the great questions
pending in this campaign. 1t is ex-
pected that the Governor will have
something very interesting to say
about the trusts and their cure, the
tariff question, government by the
people and the other questions which
are paramount in the campaign. 1t
is probable, too, that the Governor
will say something about the reform
of the country's banking and cur
rency system, a broader develop
ment of means of transportation and
the extension of the systems of the
government to a general program for
the uplift and betterment of the peo-
pie. Governor Wilson's attitude to-
ward the tariff is well known. He
refutes the Republicans charge that
he stands for free trade, and claims
that he favors a reduction of the
tariff in the interest of all the people
and to prevent high prices through a
monopoly of manufacturing. 1t is
understood that his message as far
as it relates to the tariff question
will be along this line.

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Glltterins Dance.

Doris Missioner was affected much
more deeply than she would have
thought probable when she read the
ardor-breathlng proposal Of marriage
from Bruxton Sands. To say that it
surprised her would be to set feminine
intuition at q discount. She had known
for q long time that Sands was In love
with her, and on several occasions had
been perilously close to the necessity
OF accepting or rejecting him.
NIB. Missioner sent a reply to Sands
with which, she told herself, be- must
be content for the present. Wnen she
had written It, she dressed for diuner

The tension Of the situation was re.
laxed by the buzzing OF the electric
bell at the outer door Of the apart
ment, and the entrance Of somewhat
clustering bellboy with an announce
ment that patrol wagon was at the
door and two policemen were asking
for Detective Brltz Of Headquarters,
whD was visiting Mr.. Sands.

ind no further time on courtesy. Then
he turned to the millionaire and said:
~ wouldn't have brought the patrol

taken these fellows to the police sta

Sands maintained dignified silence

One by one the prisoners were lifted,
neck and heels, and taken to the pa.

have had the bandages about their
feet removed, for it would have been
perfectly safe to let those sturdy po-
licemen escort them to the sidewalk
in the ordinary way; but Britt was
only human. The memory Of the grip
In which those very men had held him
In the ride along Riverside Drive. Of
the smothering solitude of tho desolate
apartment house, and the struggle
which had followed, came to him in
the moment when he was on the point
Of ordering the interfering Of the
captives. With a grin that struck
terror to their cringing Eastern souls,
he said to them:
"You two artists are so fond of silk
that l guess I'll let you wear those
ornaments little while longer"
When the Hindoos were gone, Britt
turned to Sands, and said with en-
phasis:
III you experience change OF
heart, Mr.. Sands, l shall be very glad
to hear from you in regard to what
you found on your dark friend. OF
