Greater London.

A description of London as mu'
nicipality Is found in a report which
has been sent to the department oil
commerce and labor by United States
Consul General John l.. Griffiths, sta
Toned at the British capital.
Instead of having one mayor and
several borough heads as New York
has, Mr.. Griffiths points out that from
a governmental point Of view London
Is a very complex organization, con-
sisting of 20 cities and boroughs, all
with separate administrations. Each
has it's own mayor and council, there
being, however, an authority whose
Jurisprudence is co-extensive with
what is known as the administrative
County of London, called the London
county council.
1T may assist to a better concep-
ton of the work of the London coun-
ty council" writes Mr.. Griffiths, ITO
point out that 1t has jurisdiction over
the public school system of Greater
London, the fire department, the
street car system, asylums, bridges,
highways, department of health, parks
and building regulations.
"There are 10000 employees in the
tramWays department, which has
been under the jurisdiction of and OPP

Taxes That Never End.

The surprising fact Is announced
that the London city corporation is
still paying land tax for the houses
which existed on Old London b. idge,
houses that disappeared about the
year 1855.
1t has at last been decided to re-
deem this ancient tax, which by act
of parliament has been levied ever
since the old bridge was den 5lished.
A copy of the old act is In the city
archives The amount of the land tax
is about $500 a year, and the city
will be able to secure a redemption
by payment of lump sum of $4,000
or so.
1t may seem strange that rates and
taxes have been paid for so many
years upon houses which disappeared
so long ago, but 1t is not generally
known that it Is the custom when
houses are demolished to make way
for public improvements to include In
the parliamentary authorization a
clause compelling the authority con-
cerned to make good any loss occa-
stoned to the rates.-New York Sun.

RHYME OF MODERN MARINER
Being the Story of the Rescue of Cap
tain Bake's Son From Watery
Grave.

Captain Blake is a mariner bold, and
his ship is the Mary Ann. His crew
consists of his wife and child and one
able bodied man. His boat is a barge
which lies near Pier B on the Jersey
side. and yesterday he left he there at
the dock, securely tied. On the deck
of the barge his little son, not yet II
months old, was playing about with a
terrier pup called Rag-Tag. His moth
er was taking a needed nap in the
cabin, where all was dark. when her
dreams were broken rudely by the
dogs staccato bark. When she rushed
on deck she saw the pup with his fore
feet on the rail and his eager eyes d.
rected toward an object that was a.
sail. She looked and saw, then al.
most swooned, but gave a frightened
scream when she saw the baby sailing
off on an ice foe In the stream.
Go get him-saye my little boyi'
she screamed, and in a trice the faith
full pup was swimming toward the
floating cake of ice. The mothers
cry was heard by men upon a vessel
near-the steamship Oceana, which
was tied up at her pier. An officer
named Lindsay looked and saw the
babys plight and soon had manned a
boat and gone to save the drifting
mite Before he reached the dancing
cake the dog was on 1t, too. The ice
foe bore two passengers, a captain
and his crew.
The baby and the terrier were taken
in the boat--a tiny pair Of mariners,
too young to be afloat. And with the
child safe in her arms the mother
wept for joy, but not whimper pass
ed the lips of the small sailor boy. But
when his father, Captain Blake, re-
turned last night and heard his wife
relate the story just as 1t had &C.
Cured, he pursed his lips and whistled
long, then gave his head shake and
said: This surely is a fact from me
that you can take. That kid of mine
a sailors life most certainly will
choose. He's breaking in to learn the
game by taking his first cruise" Then,
thinking of the cake of ice which was
the baby's boat, he said: THAT boy
will navigate the biggest ship afoat
He's got the first requirement and he
cant be called fool for whatever
else he might have done, he certainly
kept ol"-New York Times.

QUADRUPPLE MURDER A
Eastbourne, England, Aug. 10.
Five human beings, three of
them little children, paid with
their lives for the infatuation of
married man for another woman
today.
The woman-the only survivor
of the tragedy-is lying, badly
wounded and delirious, in local
hospital.
The man was Captain Hicks
Murray of the Gordon Highland
ers. Recently Murray rented a
house here under the name of
Richard C. McKie, saying he was
an American.
He introduced the woman,
Miss Florence Taylor, as his wife.
There was a child, a baby of ten
months.
Mrs. Murray had suspected her
husband. She traced him from
their home in Scotland to East
bourne.
Early today she and her two
children went to the house Muir
ray had rented, and surprised
him with the woman.
Murray shot and killed her.
Then he shot and killed his three
children, the two legitimate and
the one Legitimate. He wound
ed Miss Taylor, and would have
killed her had she not escaped.
Murray appears to have been
quite collected after the murders,
for he sat down and wrote note

one morning he accidentally lost

old man who helped him out

man. 81 came to fish"

Then he laid the bodies of the
dead together, and poured petro-
leum over them, and over the
house, and set it afre, ending his
own life with a bullet through his
brains.
When Miss Taylor first was
rescued, it was thought that she
was Mrs. Murray, and that Muir
rays body was really that of an
American named McKie as he
had represented himself.
Miss Taylor kept up the decep-
ton. She said that her husband
had awakened her at $50 o'clock
in the morning, and had gone into
frenzy of rage when she asked
for a cup of tea.

Fortunately the weather is warm now,

We feel certain, however, that if every

would be very greatly reduced.

A Solution of the
Cost of Living Problem.

The Philadelphia Record says that
if less meat were eaten the price would
go down. The Record, by its sage
remarks has put US in the way of
finding a solution for the whole prob
lem of the high cost of living. Just
boycott the producers of high priced
food.
Suppose that for one month every
man and woman in America should
refuse to eat any meat. If there is
anything in the ancient law of supply
and demand the price of meat will
take decided tumble during that
period Here seems to be the logical
way out of our troubles, and we pro
pose that we all quit eating meat.
And if it works all right with meat
we might try it with potatoes and
butter and eggs. Eliminating all these
things from the bin OF fare for a few
weeks ought to have a decidedly good
influence on the prices of these com
modities. A months abstinence from
all manner of food would be an al
most certain way to bring the supply
up to such a point that it would
equal the demand, and reduce the
price. Furthermore it would ma
terially reduce the extent of the con-

who was left would have plenty t.
