Marked Passing of Hillside.

TARRYTowN. Sept. Il. - John D.
Rockefeller's aversion to paying more
taxes than legally required Of him put
Hillside, the smallest village in this state,
out Of business. Rockefeller's estate at
Tarrytown extends, or did extend, into
Hillside's corporation limits, and the
Board of Trustees of the latter place
worked out a clever scheme to increase
its tax revenue by taxing a large part
of the oil magnates property.
Everything went well, and the board
was preparing to pave few more streets,
erect a schoolhouse or two and raise the
salaries of certain officials when Mr..
Rockefeller's staff of lawyers swooped
down on Hillside and informed the village
officials that the proposed tax levy was
Illegal, and that Mr. Rockefeller would
fight the issue to the last court even II
he had to raise the price of kerosene.
The plan was dropped the trustees
voted to dissolve the Incorporation Of
the township and to pass its indebtedness
of $4,000 to the Mount Pleasant township.

CR0SSMAN'S
GREATEST SUCCESS

"The Tongues of Men has been dc.
clared the very best comedy in which
Miss Henrietta Crosman has appear
ed in some seasons, and in some
causes has been said to he a fitting
rival to her first great Successes
Mistress Nell' and Sweet Kitty
Belfairs." She will be see at the
Auditorium Saturday, April 25th.
The theme of "The Tongues of
Men" has q startling ground work of
fact upon which to base a structure
of comedy. There has been, during
the last few years, a field of argyll
ment between the Church and the
Stage, notably in the case of such
presentations as '"Thais" and "Sa-
lome." Edward Childs Carpenter has
seized on this fact and given q bril-.
liant exhibition of conditions as they
really exist 49,
A young minister, will, high ideals,
announces from the pulpit a prima
donna who is appearing in a risque
opera. that he has never taken the
trouble to go to see. He declares,
however, that she must be a bad we.
man off the stage in order to success
fully create such D role. The prima
donna highly indignant declares fem
mime war against him and uses all the
weapons of her sex to batter down
his masculine defenses. He loses his
fiance for the time being, is put in
the position Of making desperate
love to the prima donna and is near.
ly thrown out of his position by the
vestrymen of his Church. The comic
laugh-provoking situations are numer-
GUS throughout the three acts and
follow in rapid secession. The best
points in the story, thanks to Miss
Crosman and a splendid supporting
cast, are brought out to their fullest
value. Remember the curtain rises at
S:15 sharp and you should be in your
seats a. that time.
