APRIL 15, 1905, Through the good offices of Mrs. Caro line B. Alexander, of Hoboken, and other sympathetic women, Miss Libbie Garra brand, the Paterson murderess, who has served thirty-three years of a life’s sen tence, is to be given her freedom by the Court of Pardons. Miss Garrabrand when a girl of 10 years had been led astray by a man who after inducing her to live with him threatened to throw her over. Driven to desperation by the wrong already dose her and the fear that she would become an outcast she deter mined to revenge herself on the man re sponsible for her condition. One night she put poison in his coffee, and when he died from its effects she gave herself up to the police. She was sentenced to be hanged. Her youth and the circum stances that led to the tragedy saved her from the gallows. The sentence was commuted to imprisonment for life. Miss Garrabraudt is the only woman ever sen tenced in this State for that period and naturally her case has excited much in terest. Every year for the last twenty years she has appealed to the Court of Pardons for her freedom. Now she is old and feeble, broken down in health, without relatives who care for her and with no one to look to for consolation save the good1 women who have interest ed themselves in her behalf. They have promised to provide her with a home for the rest of her life and this fact, in ad dition to the length of time she has been in prison, has won the sympathy of the Court of Pardons. The Newark Board of Trade, at a Besting Wednesday night, passed the fol iowing resolutions:— "Whereas, In compliance with public sentiment fully expressed at the last elec tion, the representative political parties entered into pledges to the people to com ply with the demand for legislation which would plain- upon all classes of railroad property a proportionate and just share af the burden of, taxation: and "Whereas. These pledgee which were accepted in good faith by the vast body »f citizen- in this State have not been tired up t**. and the Legislature after a :hrr>* mouths' session lias adjourned wMjhnut the enactment of suitable laws to provide for tiie proper and just equali sation of taxes; and “Whereas. The Legislature, through the Outfield measure, lias only provided ’or taxing second-class railroad property is other property is taxed, and has avoid 'd the main question involved; and hereas. The Governor has express 'd himself as being opposed to the call ng of a special session to consider this mpnrtant measure; therefore, be it “Resolved. That this Board of Trade •eaffirms its former action with reference to this question by again demanding that ill railroad property shall be assessed and shall pay the same rate of tax as all Khar forms of property, and that the “ommitte* on Taxation of this Board be nstructed fa eontinue the agitation in fa ror of legislation for such equal taxation, frith the view of pledging the members ■f the next Legislature to enact laws that viU result in distributing the burdens of axation of railroad property in the same iroportion according to Its value as other iroperty is taxed.” After the adoption of the resolutions 'hairmta Harrison Van Duyne, of the Committee on Taxation, aaid:— “l think that we can truthfully say hag the people generally, as (he result of be last political campaign, believed that he Governor and Legislature elected reto pledged to equal taxation. lb*, .h..,r$e.jSfcy | Royal Baking Powder Ic made of pure cream of tartar and safeguards the family against alum. ROYAL RAK1H0 ROVYORR CO., t AY YORK. _ strange result*>f all the discussion before election day, and all the promises made, was the passage of two bills, one taxing i second-class railroad property at local rates, the same as other property in any community is taxed, the other practically nullifying the provisions of that bill by tile passage of what is known as the maximum tax rate bill. “The Governor advocated a maximum tax rate in his message, and is especially the sponsor of the new bill, but his posi tion in reference to it seems diametrically opposite to the position taken by his newly appointed head of the State Board of Equalization ij^ his two or three hours seance with the Mayor, the Newark Tax Board and other city officials. "The Governor, according to the state ments in the papers, says the ‘real estate has been made to bear the burden of tax ation too long, and that it is time the bur dens were more equally distributed,’ and further, he says, T tell you the expenses of the cities in New Jersey are from 30 to 100 per cent, too large, they should be scaled down.’ "If tile claim made by the Governor is true, then our large cities should be re quired to reduce their expenses, and we should get along with a reduced rate; but now is this claim met here iu Newark, and by those who, it is understood, help ed to pass this billV "The Mayor, if reports are correct, does not attempt to show where the re duction iu expeases should be made; whether we are payiug our policemen, iiremen or school teachers too much, or spending too much in trying to keep our streets clean, or through our Board of Health wasting too much money in look ing after the health of the city, nor does he even say with the Governor that real estate has been made to hear the burden of taxation too long. On the contrary, his expectation, and those whom he has already converted, seems to be to 'jack up’ the value of veal estate about $50, 000.000 in this city, so as to meet the cut in rate, and the intimation is given that if the present members of the Tax Board cannot do it, others will be found who will. "The question naturally arises how a bill affecting our city's interests so tre mendously, the Governor taking one view of it, the head of the Equal Taxation and Legislature may have 'builded better than they knew, in passing this maximum Board another, the city's legal depart ment questioning its constitutionality and characterizing it in no uncertain language could possibly pass the House with all the Assemblymen from the city voting for it without any discussion as to its merits and pass the Senate when the Es sex Senator was specially looking out for it without ;his knowing when it did pass. If it was not a railroad bill, it was cer tainly railroaded through the Legislature. “This legislation may, however, prove ‘a blessing in disguise,’ and the Governor tax rate bill, if it should arouse a public sentiment which will compel the lawmak ers to revise our tax laws so as to re quire the most profitable real estate in the State of New Jersey, the great rail road properties, to pay their share. And if the people of the State between now and the next election fitily understand the great injustice and favoritism of the present tax laws; injustice to those who are .often least able to pay. and favorit ism to the great and profitable corpora tions of tho State, the members of the next Legislature would be pledged 10 see that all real property not used for char itable purposes was made to share equal ly according to its value in all the tax burdens of the State or municipality.” Referring to the new State Board of Equalization of Taxes, Chairman Van Dnyne said:— “We have a new State Board of Equal ization, but judging from the reported remarks of its president on the tax equal ization qnestiou, the chauces are that this tmard will lose sight ai the beam of in equality in these great railroad proper ty iu their effort to |»d the mote of in equality in the ordinary property which has so long hten compelled to bear the burdens of taxation. i ‘•This is not a political question, it is a question whether property shall * be taxed equally according to the plain read ing of onr State Constitution, whether the power of organized capital shall con trol our legislators and even our courts to shift itg share of the public burdens on other shoulders less aide to bear it. Why, even the great lawyers represent ing the railroads before the Equal Taxa tion Commission of last year took the same stand es to the duty of the/rail roads to pay their full share according to the ralno of their property, the same as other people pay. “Mr. Corbin, representing the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, said:— “ ‘In our kind o* government you can not live and stay and prosper with the underlying feeling in the minds of the majority of the people that substantial justice is not being done. It is absolute ly intolerable that an underlying spirit should exist that yon are not arriving and do not intend to arrive at substan tial justice in the end,’ and further: ‘Anything else is Intolerable; yon must at least recognize the principles of equality, and as wisely as you can devise laws to carry them out.’ "Mr, IVI'orrest said*— " ‘I do not think that we ran separate the interests of onr railroads from the interests of every part of the community; we must all prosper or fail to prosper alike. It may easily be. that by some particular change of the iaw. or some particular change in the method by which the iaw is applied, an undue burden of taxation may for a time be put upon one class of the community, but it won’t stay put there. There is sooner or later bound to be a day of reckoning and change, and in the end it is quite as much to the interest of the railroads as it is to the smaller property owners in this Btate that taxation shall be eqital.’ "So. while your committee on taxation of this board believes there could not be a questiou of greater importance to have a special session of the Legislature to consider; in view of the expressed senti ments of the Governor against it. the next best thing is for this Board of Trade to lead in advocating and discussing equal taxation until the next term of the Legislature, ami see that the members then elected are pledged to work and vote for it. With such a law on the statute books the maximum tax rate might be a wholesome check to extrava gance in city government, but without a iaw that equalizes taxation this maxi mum tax rate act may be disastrous to the linanciai interest* of the cities of our State.” When a mutt gets over paying winter coal bills the summer resort expenses are ahead of him.—New York Press. AMUSEMENTS. Hudson Theatre. The Hudson will probably reap the blooming of the roses and eke the ripen ing of the watermelons with the re-itera tion of the announcement “The, Heir to the Hoorah” is still running to crowded houses. This delightful new comedy by Paul Armstrong, artistically produced by Kirke La Shelle. has made all sorts of a hit as evidenced in the instant increase in attendance after the first performance. “The Heir to the Hoorah” is a clean, bright, amusing play, one wb.ieh impels laughter and tears in accurate alterna tion and one to wnich the sophisticated theatre-goer may tako his wife, bis daughter, his cousin or his aunt wi«* the certainty that she will he edified and amused and in no wise shocked.

Mrs. Leslie Carter’s triumphs at the Belaseo. Sew York, seem unaffected by Lent, or by the fact that she has played “Adrea" nearly 125 times.

"Adrea" is clearly the supreme success , of the year, well meriting .jhe enormous audiences Mrs. barter is attracting to the Belasco and the columns of critical opinions that have been written in the praise of herself and the play. Countless requests have been urged upon Mr. Bel aseo to present Mrs. Carter for a few mid-week matinees; hut the part makes sueli strenuous demands upon her skill and vitality - that he is forced to an nounce, though reluctantly, that the only afternoon performance will he given oii Saturdays. Bijou Theatre, Stew York. M arheld sweeps on triumphantly at the Bijou Theatre. Xew York, where two weeks from tomorrow night he will play "The Music Master” for the 250th time. This stands as the record of the Xew Y’ork season. Nest week the last extra matinee will be given on Tuesday, April 27. and suburbanites should not fail to make note of this, and to profit by the opportunity. Warfield’s exquisite per formance of the old musician is still so intensely popular that hundreds are turned away at every performance. Bclasco's Stars Shine David Belasco’s stars are having prac tically all the glory to themselves during the present Xew Y’ork season. Mrs. Leslie Carter has scored the greatest triumph of her career in the new Belasco tragedy, "Adrea.” and is crowding the Belasco Theatre to the doors every night. At the Bijou, David Warfield is at the height of his remarkable success with “The Music Master,” which lie already lias player nearly 250 times, anti never to a vacant seat. At the Academy of Music. Blanche Bates is giving her fare well appearance in "The Darling of the Gods,” which will reach its 1,000th per formance on Monday. April 17. Her or iginal hooking was for four weeks, hut this has been extended indefinitely, and she will stay out the season at the Acad emy. David Belasoe .says it pays to fight the Syndicate. At ali events, this has been his most prosperous seasou, with two of his stars constantly in Xew Y’ork, and the- other there for a three months’ run to wind up the year glor iously. Blanche Bates—1000 Times For 999 times Blanche Bat.s has play ed th entrancing part of ‘he little Jap anese princes Yo-San in “The Dariins f the Gods,” so that gives occasion for making Monday rght’s performance at the Academy of. Music, Now York, a gala event. It will be her 1000th repres»*»a tiori of the Belasco-Lottg play natch has scored record rt ns at the Belaseo Thea tre, at His Majesty’s Theatre in London, and at tba World’s Fair in St. Louis. Mr. Belaseo has arranged to make the event memorable by presenting appro priate and elafc— ate souvenirs to every person in attendance. Monday night’s audience, therefore, will doubtless be one of extraordinary size and enthusiasm. As only a few weeks more remain iu which to see this magnificent production, with ah its great acting, suburban ,pat : rons are advised to make the most of the \ Wednesday and Saturday matinees, 81RAFFES ARE SCARCE. There Are But Six ia America and Only Two la Europe. There are only six giraffes in ail America and but one in England at the present wridng, while on the continent of Europe the dearth is remarkable, not more than one Iming found there today. Animal dealers and collectors have none, notwithstanding their efforts far a tong time past to secure specimens, indeed, the demand for them front the different roes all over the world has Uew to great, aiul has remained unfilled for so long a trine that the price for these animals, even indifferent ones, has risen to the proportion of a small fortune. Some years ago a good one could have been purchased anywhere for from $1,00 to $2,000, bat now the price is $10,000 and for fine extra ones as much as $15,000 would he asked. Many expeditions have gone to the interior in quest of giraffes, but in nearly all cases have returned un successful. The Barnnm and Bailey Show possesses a herd of these beautiful creatures, and with the possible excep tion of two, own and exhibit all there are on the American continent and twice as many as there in captivity in Europe. Tito value of this herd as a herd of males and females, is beyond price, for they are really worth more than, was paid for them. They never breed in captivity notwithstanding all efforts made to induce them to do so by men ex perienced in handling these delicate la-asts. The giraffe is fast disappearing before the encroachments of man. and long before the great central plateau of Africa, which is its habitat, lias been opened up to civilization, it will like the great auk, have been completely wiped out. The giraffe is not a hardy animal in captivity. It does not thrive on dry food, like most ruminant animals, which do al most as well on hay as on grass. In the wild state the giraffe feeds almost entire ly one the leaves and twigs of a species of acaeia, which tiie Boers call kameel doorn, or camel thorn, the giraffe itself being known to them as kameel, or camel. The food imparts to the flesh a pungent aromatic flavor, which makes; the giraffe steak a delicacy highly es teemed by African hunters. There is no animal which gives its keeper nlore trouble in a me> ngerie, not even the treacherous elephant. While the giraffe is gentle in disposition, air’ not given to attack, eve* in the wild state, it is stupid and obstinate, and can not be taught to mind. There are no less than 40 other •*. mals in the menageries of the Barutim & Bailey show-, which are the only ones in captivity, not any of the zoological gar dens of Europe even containing dupli cates. There are 24 elephants also, and 50 cages of rare wild beasts. All will be here on Monday, May 1. A special arenie feature will be the marvellous per formance of a beautifn1 young woman, who loops the gap in an automobile. JESTS. Vicars Daughter (meeting one of the | class)—"Well, .Tane.
