brought laughter, Governor Wilson'S
expression OF his political doctrine

Palace Where Waoner Died.

Apropos Of the return from her
chateau in Syria OF the Duchesse della
Grazia to her palace in Venice, a Paris
contemporary gives an interesting &C.
count OF Vendramin, which is not
only one Of the most beautiful resi-
dences on the canal, but it is closely
associated with the history of the
city Of the doges.
1t was built in l441. German princes
occupied 1t at first. Then 1t passed
into the possession OF the duke Of
Mantua, who purchased 1t for $4,000
ducats Of gold. 1t was the scene Of
great social events under the Arch
duke Charles Ferdinand of Austria
and his wife, Anne de rMedicis. In
1852, and through them the palace has
come into the possession OF the pres
ent owners Though marriage. 1t was
here that Richard Wagner died in
1883. The desk at which he wrote
Tristan und Isolde" is carefully prs-
served. Some years ago a plaque was
affixed to the palace showing It's CON.
nection with the great composer.

Austin, Tex.-Following the adop-
ton of the instangible tax values Of
Texas railroads, which decreased
twelve millions under last year, Tax
Commissioner A. L. Love Saturday is
sued the following summary of the
work:
THE aggregate true value on jan
uary !, 1912, of the railroad companies
valued by the state tax board this
year is placed by the board at $780,
869,0S2. The aggregate physical value
for said roads is 1885, 580,174 The ag-
gregate intangible value is s162,2S8,-
sos.
The aggregate true value On Jan
uary /, 1912, of the ferry and bridge
companies, charging toll, is $194,525.
Their aggregate physical value is $685.
