How Hero Fund Started.
In speaking Of his hero fund-his fa-
vorite benefaction-he told how 1t had
started when he learned that super
intendent Of one of the coal mines had
lost his life while saving the lives II
some workmen.
The mans wife and children would
have suffered poverty and misery he
said, had he not heard Of the deed.
He told how his fund had spread 70
Great Britain, Germany, Belgium Hoi-
land, Norway, Sweden and other ma
tions that he could not just then re-
member He told also how the ierman
Emperor had thanked him in a long
message through the ambassador. Mr..
Carnegie said the Emperor had said:
II first appreciated his generosity; now
/ appreciate his discernment."
He's a clever man, that Emperor,
said Mr. Carnegie. He also said, con-
tinued Mr.. Carnegie, that he intended
to have medals struck off for heroes
who would be too proud to accept
money. When asked II he had any
message for the American people he
said:
II congratulate the people on having
had an election. We make our kings,
but we make excellent ones. 1 sup
pose you boys know that I am dyed
in-the-wool Republican, and have al
ways been one. / smile when people
fear for the Republic or the Republican
party" Then he seriously discussed
the tariff question, I'VE don't need a
tariff on steel" he said. I'VE don't
need protection; such protection Is only
meant for infant industries. When l
came to this country we didn't make
an ounce Of steel and now we are max
ing more than all nations together"
In speaking about his birthday even
ing entertainment he said he was go
ing TO give a little supper to eighteen
of his very good friends" Further
than that "her majesty might spring
some surprises" he said. That dinner
would be private, he added.
Then he ended by telling what he
thought to be the quintessence Of wis
dom-a quotation from Confucius-
namely: ITO perform the duties Of
this life well, troubling not about an
other, is the prime wisdom"
Then he pushed aside his buffers and
escorted the reporters to the street.

TAMMANY IN SADDLE,
AND CITY BUDGET PASSES
AIdermen's Precipitate Action
Calls for Expenditure of ST.
100000 Unnecessarily.
CUTS AMOUNT TO 100000
Borough President McAneny
Loses Fight to Delay Consid-
Grafton of Question for a
Week-Curran, Blamed.

OverthrowIng the fusion majority In
the Board Of Alderg>n. Frank J. Dow
ling. leader OF the jTaInmany minority
yesterday succeeded In having the board
pass the city budget fors 1918 with cuts
amounting to s5S3,524S4. This leaves the
budget at s192. 1853. III 16. Mayor Gaynor
has the right to put back any OF the
| amounts cut out, but II is not thought
! that he Is likely to do SO. as he refused
| to put back items cut out by the board
year ago. although the other members Of
the Board Of Estimate united on a petit
ton to him to do so.
Because of the precipitate action Of the
Board of Aldermen yesterday, however.
! the budget will he about 81. 10000 more
than 1t ought to be. which amount means
about two points In the tax rate.
/ Borough President McAneny explained
that the Board of Estimate. in making up
the budget. had put in that amount to
meet interest on the bonds issued for the
construction OF the Observation-Disclosures
avenue subway. Since that was done a
perusal Of the rapid transit act has re-
vealed the fact that interest for such
1 bonds should be met by issuing other
bonds rather than by burdening the an
nual budget.
President McAneny told the members
OF the board as plainly AS he could that
they were recomputing the exact amount
OF interest on bonds that should go into
the budget, and when that was done about
81, 500 900 would be taken out. Intent, how
ever upon showing their power over the
fusion majority. the Tammany men In
sisted upon tanning the budget through.
Had consideration Of 1t been put of for
another week, as asked, the aldermen
could have cut out that amount. AS II is,
there is no legal way TO take that Item
out. 1t must stand. II lie just possible
that an adjustment can be made by
adding that amount TO the general fund
In some way. SO that the tax rate may
still be decreased. but President Nc
Aneny was not sure that such a thing
could be done.

Claims Share of Estate.

Mrs. Alice Mills. OF Martlnsburg. Lewis
County, n. Y, applied for an order In
the Surrogate's Court yesterday to vacate
the will of Mrs. Blanche Mittnacht who
died on June 49, Mrs. Mills is acting as
general guardian Of Bertha Mills, who,
she says was an adopted daughter OF
Mrs. Mttnacht, but was not cited In the
probate proceedings because OF the false
statement made by Mrs. Louisa c. De
Freest, a sister OF the testatrix, that she
and Albert Valette, brother, were the
only heirs-at-law.
Mrs. Mills alleges that the instrument
offered for probate was not the last will
OF Mrs. Mittnacht. and that It was OBJ
tained through fraud practised by Mrs.
De Freest or some other person acting
with her.
Alfred L. Marley, attorney for Mrs.
Mills, makes affidavit that he has talked
with Joseph Sowitzer and Henry w. Fer
ris, whose names were signed to the In
strument that was probated, and with
Hugh A. O'Hare. who drew the docu-
ment, and that the three men declared
that Mrs. Mittnacht at no time referred
to 1t as her last will. The paper was In
tended only as a temporary transfer OF
her bank account. according to the law
yer. Mrs Mittnacht was Ill at st. Luke
Hospital at the time. O'Hare said, ac-
cording to Marley, that the word will"
was inserted later.
Since the death of Mrs. Mittnacht her
alleged adopted daughter has been adopt
ed by Mrs. Mills, who brings the action
I'm her behalf.

Albany, Nov. % While the intent and
purpose OF the stock transfer tax law is
TO impose a tax on transfers of the stock
of Joint stock associations as well as cor

citation which have no face value the law

BULLION TAX IN LYON

For good many year past there
has been little or no revenue com.
ing into the county treasury from
the bullion tax. For some
quarters past, however. the tax
has been increasing. owing to the
renewal of the mining industry in
the Yerington district and Silver
City. For the quarter ending
March 81. 1912. this tax amounted
tC 81 l,94O.2l and for the quarter
ending June 80, 1912, the amount
was swelled to So, ,2O5.0s. The
increase is accounted for by the
large production of copper by the
Nevada-Douglas. Mason Valley
and Mcconnell mines in this
district and ComstUck Mining and
Milling Co. and VIM. Donovan, of
Silver City. This revenue will
help Lyon county out considerably
in the next year or so. and from
tnen on.-Yerington Times.

GOOD PROFIT FROM
RAISING ALFALFA SEED

j. F. Holland of this valley is
going TO have a fine crop of alfalfa
seed this season, so he reports, and
there are others who are raising
alfalfa for the seed in this valley.
In fact. the business was quite a
revenue producer for number of
rs1of the valley last season.
There is considerable more money
i'm raising seed than in any other
use that can be made of alfalfa.
As an illustration of this, Mr.
Holland had threshed from seven
tons of alfalfa last season little
over ton Of seed. The seed sold
for IL cents per pound, or $240 per
ton, and the seven tons of alfalfa
grew on less than two acres of
ground. AT this rate the seed crop
returned about $l20 per acre.
This was the gross yield: but tax.
ing out liberal amucnt for all
expense Of raising, harvesting and
threshing there would reasonably
be left net income of from $50 to
500 per acre. This may also,
have been an exceptional yield, but
Mr.. Holland thinks his crop Of this
year will pan out equally as well.
If so IL will be greater revenue
producer than any kind of crop OF
forage or grain that could be
raised. IL even comes into the
class Of gardening where cabbage,
onions and spuds are made a
speciality, and produce a revenue
of from $75 to Sd00 per acre.

UNIVERSITY IS AT HIGH MARK

Probably no better indication
of the growth and popularity Of
the University of Nevada could be
found than in the figures showing
the registration this year as COM
pared with the registration of a
year ago. This semester there are
25l students enrolled, while last
year the enrolment. including the
students who attended the uniyer.
sity high school, was only 237.
The high school was abolished
last term and this year the regis
tration figures are all for the
university proper. II is expected
that the registration for the COM
ing year will still further increase.
This semester marks the high

studies and athletics also is being
manifested on The part Of the

THE IDEAL NEWSPAPER

Occasionally it becomes the duty
of a practical editor to give the
very intelligent and impractical
people who are ALWAYS demanding
an ideal newspaper a very common
sense reason why it will never be
published.
And the reason is based on a
few questions like these, says the
Boston Globe:
Has anybody ever seen or heard
of an ideal minister!
Has anybody ever seen or heard
of an ideal college president?
Has anybody ever seen or heard
Of an ideal doctor?
Has anybody ever seen or card
Of an ideal banker?
Has anybody ever seen or heard
of an ideal merchant?
We are decidedly of the opinion
that loud and emphatic mo" is
the answer to each question.
Why?
Because the representatives of
the rallings named are all human,
with the usual number of virtues
and faults. And editors. being
human. are i'll the same class.
Therefore. when the world is
peopled by angels and the news
papers are controlled by arch
angels, we shall see the ideal news
paper and not until then.
