A. B. FarqUhar, who is so rich that
he can spend SIS a minute if he wants

up the $5-a-week-idea to show us all
how wickedly extravagant we might

UNIFORMS AND LoVE.-Alberta
Wholley, Frisco society girl who
married Policeman Liebscher, ex-
plains;
4 feel that the profession of a po-
Hceman is just as noble and dignified
as that of a graduate Of West Point
or Annapolis"
Alberta had been spanked to beat
the band by a flock of young army
and navy officers and when she chose
Policeman Bill Eebscher and
shocked society" until society was
blue in the face, she thought she
ought to say few kind words for
the army and navy and society. So
ciety on the coast is so full of young
army and navy fellows who are on

wholesale thrOw-dOWn, like Alberta's
produces a distinct thUd.
Of course, Alberta is correct in
her idea that the profession of po-
Iiceman is just as noble and digni-
fled as the profession of army or
navy graduate. The usual run of
young fellows who made a profession
of being West Point or Annapolis
graduates are not in it was any de-
cent policeman who can stop a game
of newsbOy craps or polish a lamp
post with his back, so far as nobility
and dignity of profession are con
cerned. But Alberta's real problem
will be to settle with society for pre-
ferring a uniform that represents

DARK Horse For Republican
Presidential Nomination.
NATIONAL DEFENSE PIONEER
Known AZ Fearless Advocate of Ira
ditionai Republican Principles-AIso
Recognized as One of AbIest Cam
paigners In United States.

Far and away the most interesting
phase of the national political situa-
ton is the movement that has brought
Henry D. Estabrook, of New York and
Nebraska, SO prominently to the front
as candidate for the Republican pres
idential nomination. First spoken of
as a possibility in connection with the
presidency less than six months ago.
Mr.. Estabrook is today one of the
leading candidates, with evidences of
strength that are source of concern
to the friends of the other aspirants.
He has made speeches in every i'm
portant city in the East, Middle West.
and Far West, an arduous campaign
experience that has put him in good
condition to meet the rigorous demands
made in the head ofsa party's national
ticket, and his friends in Nebraska and
other States have formed Estabrook or
ganizations and are going after national
delegates in the most vigorous fashion
Impartial observers agree that this
development Of the Estabrook boom
has no parallel in the political history

selecting and planting these trees. The
land is choice in character and an extra
good water right goes with it. There
is four-room house on the place and
about 5000 worth of tools go with the
property. The trees are in healthy
and thrifty condition and are just CON-

back your failing health among the

it is just the right place for someone

UTILITIES FIGHT NEW TAX BILL
Double Imp"st ON Franchises
Charged to AranOw Measure.

ALBANY. March 29.-Considerahle o.
position by public utility corporations is
beng made 20 the proposed amendment

tax law, as provided by tho Aranow
bill. which viii reach It's third reading
in the Assembly within a day or two
The New Amsterdam Gas Company of
New York city in a brief filed Monday
with the Assembly Finance Committee
contends that the suggested amendment
to the law will produce double taxation
Of public utility companies.
At the present time public utility
franchises are Subject TO two kinds Of
taxation first. a license fec or its equiv
alent and second a tax on franchise
,alur that is, q tax Oh earnings in on
cess OF i per cent on actual Investment.
The special franchise tax law passed
in 1so9 provided for taxes OF the sec
ond class. These were to be assessed by
the state Tax Commission, although its
proceeds we're TO be paid over TO the
local authorities. II was provided that
from the amount paid as special fran
Chise tax the corporations might de-
duct whatever they paid to the munich
palities under the terms of their fran
chlse grants.
The Aranow bill would alter this and
limi, these deductions. II is proposed
that, supposing there are nj earnings
above & per cent. and consequently the
state Tax Commission in assessing the
special franchise tax has not levied any
thing against them. no deductions are To

MES argue that these Investments will

'RHEINGOLD' GIVEN
FOR The THIRD time
Brilliant Performance Of Wag-
ner's Prologue at the Met
rOpOlitan Opera.

"Das Rheingold." the prologue to
wagner's great Nibelungen trilogy, was
given at the Metropolitan Opera House
last evening for the third time. The
second part Of the trilogy will be pre-
scented on Saturday evening. The first
and third parts will be reserved for next
season. These d~isjecta membra Of a
fOurfold tragedy are received with
proper gratitude. 'Tis better TO have
heard a part than never to have heard
at all. Amusement must have sat upon
the minds OF some u~nsuspecting sub
scribers last night, for to them "Das
Rheingold" has long been a stranger.
Until the present seaso the prologue
had for many years been given only In
the special series of afternoon perfor-
mances OF "Der Ring des Nibelungen."
What motive compelled its restoration
10 the evening list is not known. There
could not have been any definite de-
man for II on the part Of the box
holders. II has only one intermission
and ii IL OF the type which is distaste-
full to most OF them.
However. 1t is a matter for rejoicing
that the music drama has been given
twice Ia the evening. for there are many
persons whose occupations Will not allow
them to attend the matinees. Further
more. for the prestige OF the house. these
evening representations have been adj
,antageous. Nothing else in the roper
tory of the season just ending has been

Tor a cast Of high general excellence
have been met by Mr.. Gatti-Casazza

The pictorial attire OF the drama Is Of
the most admirable kind. Nothing else
in the active list calls for such skilful
cooperation of the mechanical and mus
ical and dramatic elements OF opera.
The smooth movement Of the machinery
reflects credit on all those concerned
in the performance.
