AU business communications should be addressed to The Jersey City New: aU letters for publication to the Managing Editor. THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1905. While Newark and other municipali ties in the State are wrestling with the Hiller.v law to try and learn whether it will fee a benefit or a detriment, Jersey City’s taxation experts are of one mind. They declare that the law is a great in justice to the people and was designed for no other purpose than to give the rail road* relief from the Duffleld law. tax ing second-class property at local rates. Charles C. Black, than whom there is no man in the State better qualified to speak on the subject of taxation, agrees with Corporation Counsel Record, Senator Min turn and others, that the law will work great hardships on the municipali ties. Property valuations will have to lie increased in order to keep the tax rate down to the limit of $1.70. as required by the tew, and that. Mr. Black says, will [v mean increased burdens for the small property owners. The railroads will not be affected by the Hiller? law as the seo mid-clas* property, though assessed at local rates, will come under the jurisdic tion of tile State Board of Assessors, which will' fix tlie valuation. “The railroads.” says Mr. Black, “have claimed right along that they were as sessed higher than the property of indi viduals, If this theory prevails the rail roads will pay reduced local rates on prevent valuations while the property of individuals will pay the same rate as railroad second-class property, bnt on a greatly increased valuation.” Mr. Black thinks that if the railroad, had anything to do with the enactment tof the law they will be sorry, for its ef fect will be to arouse the people of the jBtaie to such an extent that they will atom the legislative halls next winter and force the passage of a genuine Equal Taxation law. After all, the Hiliery law may be a blessing in disguise. According to Trenton newspapers, the atrtego-rs in that city have been greatly ineensed of late by the thirsty (?) youth Who makes a practice of leaving his seat between each act. thus annoying ladies and others who are seated between him self- and ilie aisle. Tho condition, as described by the “True American," is as follows:— "A man, or more frequently, a caliow ytrath. wants, not needs, a drink. That t • he may obtain it, several women must arise two or three times during an even ing. while he cbvwa and paws his vay with mumbled apologies, over their feet. ■‘The spectacle of an individual inter fering with the pleasure* of others is not attractive, but when a man deliberately, ami to »o little purpose, crawls along a row of women, he falls into the cate gory of a perfect nuisance. ‘‘Aforetiraes we have suggested that drift* be served by an aerial affair, such as are used to convey cash in a deparl mc»t store, or that the 'thirsty carry hol low cane*, or, better yet, that the wo men rent upon their lege' rights, at pat ron* of -the theatre, and refuse to be dig it: rhed. “We hare reswved onr final sngges t'on. It I* that a woman’s escort ac wmpaai’ the man with the peripatetic thirst, and leading him into a dark ajley, Cive him snen a lesson in politeness that tspon his nei-t xisit to the theatre, the Pegtfpo^roi s ^ The Old Reliable ROYAL RAKING POWDER ABSOLUTELY PURE There is no substitute former trouble-maker will be thoroughly subdued. “In all seriousness, however, the prac tice is becoming burdensome, and should be stopped by the enforcement of such stringent measures as may he neces sary.’’ Jersey City theatres are patronized by ibis same disturber. True, be is a per fect nuisance, and ought to lie severely spanked. The suggestion to serve drinks by means of an aerial affair, however, would more likely increase than prevent the disturbance, as there would he dan ger of a general .assailit being made on the refreshments, and the audience would be treated to frequent shower baths. _ Two weeks ago Surgeon General Wy man, of the Public Health Bureau, at Washington, sent out a call to the lead ing cities for reports on the prevalence of cerebro-sipinal meningitis. The returns are beginning to come in. and although they are yet far from complete, it is ap parent that this disease is more common than has been generally supposed. The states that have thus far reported a considerable number of deaths from V spinal meningitis are Maryland. Massa chusetts. Michigan. New Jersey, New York. North Carolina and Pennsylvania. General Wyman believes that when a lit tle more time has elapsed it will be found that the disease has occurred with great er or less prevalence in. every State of the Union. He asked that reports he made to include all deaths from this cause since July 1. 1904. up to date. Re ports from Michigan State that cases of spinal meningitis have existed there ever since July last, the disease having been repotted from as many a* twenty-two different places at one time. Of course, the death list from New York is great r than from any other place.. During the month of December, 1904. JK» deaths from eerebro-spinnl meningitis were re ported in New- York City: 1 .'50 during tiie mouth of January, and 180 during the i month of February. The returns for ] March are not given. The disease has ! caused many deaths in Buffalo and Troy. : Four eases were importer] into Carbon dale. Pa., from New York, according to the report of the health officer of the former town. Ail four eases resulted in deaths. _ According to the census officers, the estimated population of the United States at the present time is 82,518,000. ABSOLUTELYTHE LIMIT. The following is from the Brooklyn Eagle of Tuesday. April 11: (Mayor Fagan and a lot of other city officials ate a course dinner, cost 20 cents a plate, prepared by school girls and serv ed in a school building basement. At last accounts all are still alive.—Jersey City News.) To kiss the little babies, Aud loan the papas cash. To oompliemnt the mammas In manner often rash. Has been for p. liticinns In e»ery ballot-clash An irritating duty Essential unto hash. But, bless you. this is worser, Ibges-tinn is attacked. Yon have to cat the dinner. Although your palate’s racked. For schoolgirls have prepared it. And so you: lips are smacked, To save your refutation For quite unbounded tact ’ To drink with every eomer, Or hare hint drink witli you. To shake each hand that's offered With vigor ever new. To taffy the reporters, All venom to eschew. These things from office seekers Have been the voters’ due. This novelty's the limit. The past was pretty had. A school girl’s dinner penance Makes politicians sad, Ai d so, they damn in silence, Each education fad. Awl if they ali are living. No wondea they are glad. .T. A. AMUSEMENTS, K«w York Thootao Although now playing its twelfth en gagement in New- York, "The Prince of Pilsen” is drawing capacity audience* to the New York TheagtO. where it wil* r. • crowds it is attracting show how teal merit its a theatrical production is appre ciated. Not withstanding it is in its third year, the ?rt:ee is better played than ever. Another feature which attracts oIdea tion is tie prices—25 cents to $1.00. It is being presented at just one-half ■! -»* prices (iarged when it was first seen in New York rt the Broadway Theatre two years ago. Klaw & Erianger are cer tainly* carrying ont the poSey in the management of the New York Theatre announced some months ago—Ifl* ahnw - at popular prices—with a result that must prove most gratifying. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the company now pl..ying ‘‘The Prince of Pilsen.” Arthur Donaldson sings the title role suporb'y, and Jess Dandy is the funniest “Hons Wagner” of the three famous comedians who have played the role. Louise Will's makes a most fascinating widow, and Jeannette Rageard and James F. Sullivan are hits in their respective roUes. liberty Theatre. "The Education of Mr. Pipp” contin ues to be one of the most consistent suc cesses of The season in Xew York, and well-filled houses are the rule at the lib erty Theatre. The Gibson eomed.v reach ed its fiftieth performance on Monday, April 10, and will remain on 42d street for the rest of the season. Since the play is from the series of pictures which Charles Dana Gibson drew, it is very necessary that close similarity be follow ed between the played characters and the Giltson idea. Everyone who has seen the performance concedes that Digby Bell is the most 'perfect “Mr. Pipp” that could be imagined. His quiet, resigned manner and easy reading of the laughter producing line* which have been given him by the brainy Augustus Thomas are very amusing. A TRULY KINGLY ACT. Noble Deed of an Indian Prince Who Attended tbo Durbar One of the oldest Maharajahs in Delhi, when leaving the city after the ceremo nies connected with the great Durbar were finished, placed in the bank there sufficient funds to free the land where his eamp had been from taxes forever “For,” he said, “I, the King, have rested here and henceforth the land must al ways be free from encumbrances.” That was a most noble act of the Maharajah of Xabha, one of the conspicuous figures taking part in the memorable spectacle in January, 1903, in Delhi. India, There were many other, if not equally as gener ous, fully as disinterested acts on the part of the Rajahs and reigning chiefs who came from the furthermost portion of the Indian Empire to participate in the glories of the wonderful pageant and the corollary festivities connected with the great event. Beautiful incidents like the foregoing are recorded, which serve to punctuate and illustrate the pages wjtli bright spots. They cannot be reproduced, however, before an audience, but the per son of the Maharajah perpetrating the noble act can be faithfully represented, and he is impersonated in the gorgeous spectacle of the Dnrbar this season form ing a part of the performance of the Bar mtm & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth. The Durbar, it may be as well to state, was the greatest and grandest entertain ment ever devised by man. It was pro jected upon tin? broadest and most eolos sal scale imaginable, and involved all the rulers of the affluent states of India, with their army of retainers, war para phernalia. animals, etc. >and is said to have represented in wealth over five hun dred millions dollars. This enormous amount of wealth was actually displayed j to the populace in the form of diamonds, rubies, emeralds, pearls, sapphires, and other precious stones embroidered upon | the costumes of the high officials of the j empire; iu the cost'y robes and fabrics covering the elephants, camels and sacred animals; in the shape of solid gold and silver cannon, jewel bedecked swords and other war implements, and in the vast amount of rich and sostly paraphernalia in the pageant. All this, together with every other conspicuous feature, will be tintlifully represented in the Barnum & Bailey spectacle, even to the smallest de tail. In fact, everything associated di reetl* with the glorious and triumphal Durbar'will be faithfully depicted and so true to life that the Indian Princes and rulers themselves would imagine they were again participants in the original Durbar. Notwithstanding the stupeu dons cost of the Wondrously elegant spec tacle, it Is made but a prelude to the per formances of the show, widen fact alone is indicative of the grand and colossal scale upon which the Barnum & Bailey Show is constructed cud the significance of which is unmistakable. Following the picturesque and oriental pageant are the many thrilling, sensatioual and high-class features of the circus, gymnastic, acro batic, and Idppodroinntic performances, all of which .keep the audience spellbound for three hours: and before all the visitor* first see the two menageries herd of gir affes. giant and midget and other wonder Mile.

This is not the fault of the mother, for she carries them about with her for nearly a year and with admirable instinct guards them as she does her own life. When the young are set free her duty is done, for they must then shift for themselves. Though hardly larger than mosquitoes, being about one-third of -an inch long, the little ones leave their parents on the bottom and swim toward the light—to the surface, where from one to two months, if fortune favors them, they lead a free, roving life. The open sea is a poor nursery for such weaklings, which become the sport of every storm and the prey of numberless hungry mouths. Out of a brood of 10,000 it would be a rare chance for more than one or two lobsters to reach maturity or finally to end their career in the kitchen or the chafing dish.—St. Nich olas. Imprisoned In Ike Wind. Butterflies may be imprisoned and. uninjured in the midst of a whirlwind, dales in a genuine typhoon are so ter rible that the stoutest ships can scarce ly hope to weather them, but there is a spot at the very center of the storm where something like a dead caim pre vails. From the outer edge of the dis turbauce, which may be 300 miles across, the wind velocity increases to ward the center until within a few miles of that point there comes a sud den lull. There the rain ceases and the sky often clears. In this little calm area, which sailors call, “the eye of the sit-in,” a group of butterflies has frequently been Imprisoned, and their dainty,, delicate forms are as safe in this aerial cage as if hovering in sunny meadows, but as helpless as in a collector’s bottle.
