 cHosEs IN ACTION
Rate Is Four Mills per Year for Five
 Years.

The attention of the state treas-
 ury department has been called to a misapprehension in regard to the time for the payment of the taxes on chooses in action which have not been paid for five years. The time for the payment is on or before Sep tember 30. In order to correct the lain has had the law which was pass ed at the last session of the general assembly printed in leaflets for dis tribution. The law was an amendment to the recommendation of ex-Governor Baldwin that estates of deceased per amount of the tax due for the time in which they escaped taxation. The amount of the tax is four mills per annum for five years. This is at the rate of forty cents a hundred or at two per cent. for five years. Back tax es cannot be received after Septem-
 Der 30. Under the law money in banks, except savings banks deposits, are
 subject to this tax. Special atten- tion is called to the fact that a part of note cannot be taxed and a part
 exempted. Tt is all or none," says the circular which the state treasurer
 has issued in regard to the matter. Those who are required to pay the tax are reminded that the treasurer cannot receive the tax for a shorter period than one year. The following securities are exempt from taxation !: United States bonds; any bond issued
 under a statute of this state which
 specifically exempts them from taxa ton; bonds issued by cities and towns
 in aid of the building of railroads;
 bonds and other choses in action of Connecticut railroad corporations, and
 bonds or other evidences of debt of all Connecticut water, gas, electric, heat ing and power companies; also notes
 secured by mortgage on real estate in this state to an amount equal to the assessed valuation of the real estate All other bonds notes, choses in ac- ton, including those of all manufac- | turing mercantile and municipal cor porations are taxable either by the state at four mills per annum or To- cally.
 Heavy penalties are imposed by the
 statutes on the estates of those who
 neglect or fail to pay taxes on secur- | ities.

THE SUPERINTENDENT
 AND. HIS TEACHERS.
Subject Treated by superintendsnt 7esds of New Havsn at Summer School.


 At the summer school. at Storrs on Thursday Supt. F. H- Beede of New Haven lectured to the supervisors on the eub5ect of The Superintendent and His Teachers.
 Mir. Beede first spoke of the rural schools in the state. He called to mind the condition of the rural schools 30 years ago and said: Tn no state in the union has there been more progress in the rural schools than In the. rural schools of Connecticut. In many ways the rural schools surpass city schools.
 There are threee functions that be- long to the superintendent of schools that no one else has anything to do with The first is the outline and in- depreciation of the course of study; the second Is the selection of the text books and the third is choice and supervision Of teachers.
 There are three classes of teachers In rural communities: the old teachers Of experience who have motherly in- stincts, the teachers who are depend ent on the committeeman and have nc real professional spirit, and the young teacher who is fresh from the normal school. Superintendents should aim for Q professional standard of work in the case of all teachers.
 Teachers should be rated by super tntendents- There are teachers who never care to do more than is definite ly required of them. Then there is a class of teachers who are enthusiastic and energetic and wish to do all that they possibly can do for the good oi the children. Teachers who glory ir teachers of the latter class who over- flow in their enthusiasm We want teachers who reach something like 10( per cent. in efficiency"

JACOB KosoFsKY HAS
 LONG CRIMINAL RECORD.
He is Crook Who Stole JeweIry in New
 London.

Jacob Kosofsky. the Hebrew arrested in Boston for larceny and who is want ed by the police of New London for the Washington street last month, has a long and varied record, having been arrested ten times for various forms of theft. Kosofsky had several aliases and has served several terms in prison
 Captain Haven of New London has requested the Boston police department to turn Kosofelxy over to the New Lon- don department to be tried for the Putnam robbery, but it is probable that If the Boston court convicts Kosofsky on the charge upon which he was ar- rested there, the crook will not be tried in New London for the Putnam break until after he has served the sentence of the Boston court.

 Salmon From James J, HiiPs Trip. Through the courtesy of Joseph Comstock, inspector of customs at New London, Adams P. Carroll has this week enjoyed a large slice of salmon from a fish caught on a recent trip to Labrador by James J. Hill. the railroad magnate, in his yacht the Wacoutah.
 It is said that MT. Hill pays s5.Ooo a year for the salmon fishing privilege which he controls and it requires a crew of 32 men to run his yacht. It would furnish an interesting problem for some statistician to figure out just what each mouthful of fish would rep resent in cost to MT. Hill. though not to his fortunate friends who enjoy proofs of success in the sport.
