In the very heart of town there
are innumerable gardens and care
fully cultivated lawns whose mature
and luxuriant beauty is being wasted
with only the appreciative eye of the
gardener or the casual glance of an
occasional passer-by to pay tribute
to their loveliness. The closely
boarded facadcs of some OF the
handsomest homes of the Capital are
an excellent foil for masses OF flame
colored gladoli, and scarlet cannas,
with here and there a perfect snowy
cascade OF Towering clematis. In
some instances the midsummer per
fection has been destroyed by the
inevitable repairing and remodelling
which takes place in the homes OF
the wealthy during August. While
society plays at the summer colo
nes, a general renovation reigns
over town abodes. The Wadsworth
home in Sixteenth street has lately
undergone extensive Improvements,
and the house in K street which
Mr. and Mrs. H. Campbell Graef
have leased for next season, is be-
ing very much rcmodelled. Judge

which is being fitted out with various
artistic Improvements for their oc-
cupanCy next season.

STATE GETS $2OO
 AS PENALTY TAX
Estate Had Been Delinquent in Paying
 For Past Five Years.

The state treasurer received Friday a check for $200, the amount of the penalty tax on an estate on which the state tax of four mills had not been paid for five years previous to the death of the owner. Since the law went into effect last August the pen atty has been paid on 232 estates, and the total amount received up to date is $28,12659
 The highest tax paid was $3,O43.51, and the lowest S7. The average was $12123.
 Estates cannot be probated until the taxes due the state are paid on them. The judges of probate are re- quired to furnish the state treasurer with an inventory of the estate and in this way the treasurer is able to determine if the estate has met it's obligations to the state. The penalty tax is imposed on the estate at the rate of ? per cent. for five years or 10 per cent, so that one tenth of the property involved goes to the payment of the tax. If, during the lifetime of the owner the tax of four mills is paid, the estate escapes the penalty. The law has had the effect which the au- thors of it intended in advocating it's enactment. The large increase in the payment of the tax of four mills on securities which are liable for the tax Is due, it is said by officials in the of flee of the treasurer, to newspaper ad- vertising and to the operation of the penalty tax law.
