NEW YORK'S GAIN IN WEALTH. The grand list of New York is trav- g upward at a rate of speed which enables It to look forward with con- fidence to the greatest enterprises and with faith in its ability to meet them without trouble. The little island of Manhattan which the Dutch traders bought from the Indians for $24 has a real estate valu- ation of $4.430.853,061, and a real es- tion of $§,333,137.804, & galn 18 over last year. r. Carnegle and his in steel, but a woman, with millions left her by her husband, heads the list of personal tax assess- ments made public in New York today. She is Mrs. Emma B. Kennedy, widow of the late John S. Kennedy, who left $26.000,000 to charity when he died re- 'y: and she must pay taxes on per- property valued at $6,000.000. Mr. who topped the list last year, s year for second place with Russeld Sage at $5.000,000. John D. Rockef: s third with property assessed at $2,500,- fourth place are Florence ler com = a B McLeod Leggett, h sssessed for $1,000,000. Willlam Vanderbilt is listed for a similar sum, William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., for mount hn J. Astor and J. P. Mor- £an must pay on personal property as- sessed at $400,000. Charles M. Schwab 000, Jacob H. Schift August Belmont and Ryan for $100.000 each. Tk gains approximately $27,- 000,000 on its legal debt limit as indi- cated by the increased values now an- nounced. The metropolis does not claim to be taxed upon a 75 per cent. basis. The we of New York city is many times ze of the grand list and must ever so remain.

But the directors practically said we owe the money and we should pay; and the law as we understand it permits us to issue the bonds we ask to have you authorize. The commis- sion refused, hence the appeal. Now comes the court of appeals and says that the Tight to own property means also the right to control and manage it subject to certain general laws; and that any attempts from the outside to manage or control the prop- erty is illegal. Moreover, it is not in- cumbent upon the public service com- mission to do more than review and investigate the work of the directors to see that no fraud has been perpe- trated upon the publle, but not to di- rect or manage corporations; that is ! the nub of the decision. It will prove a milestone in the decisions of courts on the matter of proper regulation of corporation activities. A RECORD-BREAKING TRANSAC- TION. When Treasurer Lee McClung last Saturday afternoon passed his receipt to ex-Treasurer Treat of the United States treasury for $1,260,134,946.8866, he figured in the diggest money tran- saction ever consummated In the world. The triplicate receipt to which Mr. Treat put his name represented more money than was ever transferred over a single signature, This great volume of precious met- al and coin cannot be used by the government except for specific pur- poses. There is Included in this great total the piles of gold and silyer in the various sub-treasuries $815,905,499 held as collateral for the gold cer- tificates. In the same way, another big slice belongs to the reserve for the silver certificates now 4n_circu- lation. A third portion includes the bonds held by the government to cover the $655,538,806 of bank notes now in use throughout the country. One is not surprised that it took a great army of clerkd six weeks to count this coin and weigh and value the bullion, which was represented up- on the little recelpt the retiring treasurer slipped into the wallet which he carried in his inside pocket. THE NEGRO®EXPOSITION. There is no real ground for op- position to the celebration of the ju- bilee year of the emancipated negroes of the country with an industrial ex- position in 1913, the purpose of which is to show how the race has ad- vanced in fifty vears. The New York Times, while looking favorably upon the general proposi- tion, has some misgivings lest the movement meet with such antagon- ism from the people of the south as to jeopardize the success of the un- dertaking. The Atlanta Constitution, whose opinions are always worthy of re- spectful consideration, does mot be- lleve that the southern people would take a hostile attitude. It says that such an exposition should be given afiirmative aid by southerners and that it should “point the way clearly and unequivocally to the destiny that waits the negro in the south as soon as he abandons unprofitable political aspirations, and addresses himself to those tasks that beckon natural lean- ings and abilities in abundance.” The southern papers generally favor the scheme, recognizing that it will be cducative to both races, and espe- cially inspiring to the colored people. The attempt to have it managed by a Dboard of white men cannot be re- garded as a friendly- movement. The colored men are capable of doing the whole business and should be given free rein to make it a good success and to reap the whole credit for the enterprise. DOUBLING ITS PACE. The Bristol Press henceforth is to be printed twiee a week, because the growth. of the place calls for better advertising facilities and more of a g00d home paper. T Press has served the field in which it has made 2 name as a permanent fixture for forty years, and It is a paper so wide- awalke, clean and wholesome, that in- vites perusal as much oh the ex- change table of its contemporaries as upon the tables of its patrons in its well covered ‘and well served fleld. It is to be issued every Monday and Thursday in future and to ‘be deliv- ered by carriers instead of sent through the mails. The Bulletin con- gratulates the people of Bristol upon having such a fine representative paper and the - publishers upon tne outlook which warrants thé assump- tion of double the work and greater business risks with a promise of sat- isfactory profits. May The Press find greater success in the new venture and cventually take its place among | the gilt-edged dailies of the state, It es to prosper and its progress tells + the advancement of the town.

Neighbors who used to discuss him over the stringing out of the wash from the windows, or the taking of a glass at the corner—according to the sex of the gossfper—had long since accepted him and forgotten the old days when he first came among them and, talked o grandly of what had been in his life; of the nights when his old violin had charmed throngs gathered in opera houses just to hear him. w femembered that he had never spoken of his own people, but only that; while his money lasted he had been' a jovial spender, never despising their manifestly coarser clay. Not on could have credited the storm that was now_slumbering in old Plerre's breast as, with a little swagger. that would always remain with him, he walked this night out of the alley. For ten vears Plerre had buried his past. With occasional money sent by his people he had lived and siept. Now he was awake again; awake to shame and fury. For two months the money had not come. At first “Mowseer” Plerre’s credit had been good at the corner, so that his daily dependence on liquor had been satisfied, but lately there had been a change of feeling shown, He had heard muttered “Old bum; always soaked” from the men. “Better Eet a job,” spoken more clearly by the Women. The sneers had aroused the manhood which thelr good fellowship had never brought forth, and Plerre was thinking again. As he walked along Broadway, jostles by the prosperous, the strons, the happy and the busy throns, his weak old eyes blinked at a flashing, twinkling sign that announced the first American appearance of the DOy won- der, Pierre Gatler, who was to play that night at the opera house. Old Pierre tried to stop while the amazing Intelligence forced itself into his vacillating mind, that here must be an announcement of his own grandson, a child of his own son, from whom he had cut loose ten years before. Then o purpose was slowly formed that exhilarated him and gave strength to his steps. He would renew ac- quaintance with the doorkeeper of the stage entrance to the opera house. Surely for old times' sake the man { WHEN PIERRE AWOKE Troud let him enter and stand behind ‘the wings on the Then he ‘would- appeal to the bfly for ‘help. Either the boy or his father must con- tinue to send him the money that his raging thirst demanded, if feared a scandal. AS o expected, “Mon'seer” Pierrc was admitted to the rear of the stage on his promise to Temain perfectly ulet. Once again his eyes drank in e oia, familiar and beautiful scens of softened lights, flower-like women with dlamonds sparkling like dew in a Gom, their escorts, dark and ht, Jooking to him, in the blur of the vista, much as hardy twigs which serve o hold some garden flowers up. Then he caught his b!-(h. for a lit- tle boy “&f?mffiwao‘h.!-?m of the stage—a. Httle, s y_whose large eyes looked out from a pallid face to nervously focus on the friendly audi- ence. Only for a moment old Pierre looked, forgetful of his wasted years, unmind- ful as well of the cannonade of ap- plause which was unconsciously warm- ing his own blood and vitalizing his old ambitions. A rage against the boy seized him. He looked upon him as a rightful king may scrutinize the pre- tender to a throne; but ‘“Mon'seer” Plerre’s passion was of primitive man Tobbed of his prey by a weakling. He clenched his hands and tried to spring toward the boy with the violin. A command stopped nim. The youth. ful fingers had drawn the bow acros: a rare old instrument and the first lovely sound was a question to old Pierre. Relaxed, he leaned forward, while over him and around him the spirlt of music entreated and commanded until Plerre knew at last that not he had been king of his concent world, but a something rare and fine whose volce he had given to the people. A beauti- ful, satisfying voice it had been— would it ever speak through him again? Humbly he looked down at his shak- ing hands and his empty pockets: reverently he looked for the last ¢imé on the little boy’s rapt face, and softly he crept away that he might not dis- turb, by the slightest sound, the pres- ent Plerre, privileged to give a mes- sage of the entrancing voice of music. —Boston Post. ion that the only safe highwayman is the dead one. This is its effective way of stopping this crime. In a month or so the migrating birds will begin to return to this section of the country, that they may get set- tled by warm weather.

Men Have Always Taken Him as a Symbol of Power. However much the eagle may Be in awe of man, there seems to have been no age in which man has not accepted the “playmate of the storm” as the symbol of kingship or power. Its sovereignty among the birds Sailing with supreme dominion Through the azure deeps of air— 1s more indisputable than that of the Mon among beasts: and nation after nation—Assyria, Persia, Rome, France, Germany. Russia Austria, Italy, Po- land, and the United States—has used it efther as the royal crest or as its military standard. No great man but has been an eagle to his eulogists, and, gleaning from the poets at ran- dom, we find Napoleon, Pindar, Otho, Madoe, Duguesclin, Lochiel. Wolsey, Prince Hubert. the duke of York, Ba- con, Herminius, Coriolanus and many another equipped with equal quali- ties. The proud lift of the hair from the brow of the capitoline Jove is said to have been studied from the forehead of a lion. Certain more than one sculptor of the head of a Roman emperor and more than one painter of imaginary portraits of Napoleon, have borrowed from the eagle the straight line of the eyebrow, just cutting the full, round, unlidded eve, which gives the bird even in captivity its wild majesty of appearance. Every emotion, everv attribute or. tragic circumstance of life raised to its highest power is compared in_verse or by the egsayists to the royal bird; so fame. ambition, science, reason, danger, pride, hatred are“ea gle eved” or “eagle taloned.” No mountain is so high as those which are “eagle baffilng.” Even the skies. are “eagle skies)” Greatness itself be- mes ‘“eagle greatness,” success is agle gripped,” and the true has eagle’s wings.

Ac to D criminal cred teristics approach those of the anthro- poid ape. One of the chief points in the chimpanzee, l?\\ gorilla, and the is the enormous lengih of their arms, all of them having arms which Teach below the knee. Therefore we should expect the criminal to be dis- tinguished by the lencth of his arm, and the question becomes one of some interest. Dr. Charles Perier, a French medical man. undertook to examine it. Me conducted his investigations in the provincial prison at Nimes, and has just published some very curious results. He discovered that the great majority of prisoners have arms which are rather shorter than those of the Test of the population, a fact which seems completely to_upset the theory of Dr. Lombroso. But the objection All Physicians Must prescribe some of the in- gredients that are contained In Hood’s Sarsaparilla—for all trou= bles of the blood, stomach, kid- neys and liver. They include earsaparilla, stillingia, yellow dock, gentian, wild cherry bark, mandrake, dandelion, juniper berries, Ppipsissewa, etc. e combination and proportions are our own formula and give power to cure beyond the reach of any other prescrips tion or substitute. at’s why it is wise to get Hood’s and only '8, was made that criminals are of all sorts and kinds, and that some dis- tinction must beé_made between them. Therefore Dr. Perrier classified his subjects and found that the ordinary criminal, whose offenses against the state are those of cunning, usually has short arms, but that murderers and those who commit crimes with violence, have arms which approxi- mate to those of the ordinary man. It would seem, therefore, that the crimi- nal is a short-armed, and not a long- armed man. It is a curious fact that | coiners have remarkably short arms. —London Globe. The Lure of the Trolleys.

It is understood in Washington that most of the New England congressmen will do all they can to prevent the re- poal of that part of the oleomargarine jaw which relates to the tax on colored Gho.” The New - Brgiand farmers are largely interested in dairy products and are said to be reaping a golden harvest by reason of the present high price of batter. ‘They do not want to risk los- ng this prosperity through legislation mdutln‘ the tax on ols ne that is sold in competition with butter. Advocates of the proposed repeal charge that the high price of butter is due to the fact that oleomargarine colored in imitation of butter is taxed ten cents a round and cannot be sold cheaply enough to be an inducement to many consumers who formerly used oleo.” Therefore, it is said, the price of butter is mounting higher.
