"While keeping out gambling and the use of intoxicating liquors, the club MANY PERSONAL TAXES WILL BE SWORN OFF, has dealt with its members as individuals in a manner that has been perfectly free and unique. It stands on a broad catholic ture. Captain Glenn forced his way through hitherto unexplored regions and established new and direct routes to a point well into the interior. Had the weather permitted an extension of his researches, he would have completed the trail into Dawson City. This work which was prosecuted by United States soldiers under direction of the War Department, will be taken up again this spring, when it is believed that the desired all American trail will be located through territory that can be kept open all the year round.

Your club, while affording the privileges that it does, is an Incentive to temperance if not to total abstinence. Dr. Darlington related the story of a mother who had migrated recently Trom Manhattan to this borough with an only son and the fact that she had discovered that there was no suitable place recreation for him in the evening where the temptations of liquor could be avoided.

Dr. Darlington said that outside of the Amphion Society there was none such year, which leaves but a very short time for THE ARMY BILL PROBLEM.

The friends of Congressman Richardson of Tennessee have been making a quiet canvass in his behalf for several weeks past, and they now claim that they have votes enough to bring about his selection. A prominent Southern Democrat, in speaking of the situation to the Eagle correspondent, said to day: "Notwithstanding the stories that have been circulated to the effect that Mr. Croker and the New York Tammany Hall organization favored the selection of Mr. De Armond for the Democratic minority leadership, I happen to know that Tammany Hall will be for Richardson and that he will get practically every Democratic vote from the North.

In addition to this there are 47 votes south of the Mason and Dixon line which are pledged against Bailey. These congressmen will not vote for the Texan under any con sideration, and they will stand out against him to the last. They believe that Mr. Richardson is the safest man and the ablest presiding officer, and in selecting him to lead the minority they look forward to the time when losing our animals. We therefore turned back to Cook's Inlet.

That completed our investigations for last summer. An all American trail to Circle City which can be kept open all the year round, in my judgment, can be established. The only question about It Is whether it shall start from Cook's Inlet or Valdez Inlet. The trail must in any event start from some point on Prince William's Sound. The trail never can be built for pack animals or railways over a glacier, however, and of that I am positive.

We will have to discover a route that gives us firm ground If anything in the way of permanent transportation facilities are to be built on it." lines, kcueious notices. 50 cents ror eann insertion of five lines or less.

(Sup. ex of Kansas.) This was an action against a stockholder who had paid full value for the stock held by him a Kansas corporation which had become insolvent.

The action was to enforce tho statutory liability of the stockholder on stock. The action was by a creditor of the corporation, and the defendant set up, by way of defense, in the nature of a set off, certain judgments obtained by him against the corporation before his statutory liability accrued. Th court the defense a good one on the theory that, while it was not a good legal set off, it was good as an equitable set off or defense.

Over in the perGorial property room at the local tax bureau this morning there was a line of men running out into the hall, with constant additions to it, all waiting for a chance to get at the books and have their assessments reduced. "By the way," said an officer of one of the local corporations this morning to the Eagle reporter, "how do the commissioners get at the amount of personal tax. anyway? There must be something about it that I do not understand.

I know of men who have been assessed at $5,000 who should not be assessed at all, while right in my street there are men who are not touched at all who certainly should be rated high."

These blocks are so closely fitted together that water cannot pass between them, and the whole pavement looks like one large checker board.

Some of the edges of the check at $5,000,000, said this morning that he did not believe that the commiseloners had anv idea that their assessments would be ac cepted and that they were simply placed at a high figure in order to have something to start from in order to get at a true valua tion.

First Annual Report of John McCullagh, Superintendent of Elections. In these times when blunt officials so neglect the literary graces it is with delight that we find one among them in whose soul burns the imperishable flame of art. We have regarded McCullagh as possessed only of that sterner talent for collaring hobos and heading panhandlers for the Island, but his report discovers him to be a literary artist. Superintendent McCullagh's report is a "Of course," said Mr. Field, "if anybody cho'oses to lay down and pay the rate fixed, face value of his stock, when proceeded against show, by way of set off or defense, or in diminution or extinguishment oti his liability as such stockholder, that the corporation is indebted to him on bona fide claim' and demands which accrued before he becama liable as such stockholder? It is strongly con tended that the claims of the stockholder against a corporation do not constitute a legal set off, because of a want of mutuality between the parties to the action.

The claim of the stockholders is not a set off in Ittf technical legal sense, but lt is aji equitable defense, which he Is entitled to make. "When he' becomes a bona fide creditor of th; corporation, he is clothed with the same equity aar contract creditors.

Covert counted about twenty that were slightly chipped the edges. It is contended that this does not argue against the value of the material as a pavement, and that any kind of stone would have suffered just as much or more in the same time. The advantages claimed for this kind of pavement are that it offers a greater resistance than stone; that it is a poor conductor of cold, and ice will not form upon it readily, that dirt will not accumulate upon it as easily as upon stone, and that it will not retain microbes: also, that it is more durable than stone, and lust as cheap.

The government cannot be run without money for the big departments, and an extra session will have to be ordered to pass the appropriation bills unless we can get the Army bill through." Chairman Babcock of the Republican Congressional committee, said that he did not think there would be an extra session. "So far as the House goes," he said, "everything is in shape, but.

When asked whether there was any likelihood of the Nicaragua Canal or the Hanna subsidy bill passing during this session, Chairman Babcock said: "Not the slightest.

Neither of them will become a law during this Congress." Speaker Reed's general attitude of opposition to the naval personnel bill has excited considerable comment in official circles. He appears to have made up his mind to antagonize all the special measures in which tho administration is particularly interested, as the Nicaragua Canal scheme, the Hanna shipping measure, the Army bill and the naval reor OK because such stock is properly taxable in the names of the companies themselves. Then we have an investment of $945,000 in United States patent rights for the borough of Brooklyn. These, by a recent decision are not taxable. This decision has recently been handed down by the Court of Appeals and is an affirmation of a decision made here by Justice Bartlett.

"The question was a new one in this state and was raised by me some five years ago. 6tated briefly, the decision is based upon the principle that a state cannot tax United States property.

Topeka, February '23 Governor Stanley has signed the bill through which the state Legislature aims to relieve the Kansas farmers from the exactions of the binding twine trust. The measure provides for the manufacture of binding twine by the convicts In the state penitentiary and appropriates $40, 000 for the installing of a plant and $150,000 to be used as a revolving fund to carry on the enterprise. actual value. And when all these deductions have been made, our assessment will be pretty nearly canceled." General Jourdan, president of the Brooklyn Union Gas Company, said that he did not expect any trouble with the Commissioners. His company had been assessed at $15,000,000, as against $2,000,000 in 1897.

General Jourdan said that he thought that his company would be able to make such representations to the Commissioners as would result in a material reduction in the figures as fixed. The Franklin Safe Deposit Company, raised from $25,000 to $100,000, has not yet decided upon any action. The Brooklyn City Safe Deposit Company, raised from $10,000 to $100, 000, will endeavor to show the Commissioners that most of its property is In real estate. friends Invited. 23 2 KNOX At his residence, S3 Mlltord st, on Wednesday, February 22, JACOB J.

KNOX. Funeral private. the history of the office of the district attorney of the County of New York can afford a parallel to the industry and energy in relation to election cases as was shown by the Honorable Asa Bird Gardiner, the district attorney of the County of New York, and his associates in that olllce at the last election. Perhaps it is unfortunate that Mr. Gardiner's efforts as district attorney in election matters might be open to criticism from those persons who have an Idea that the head of such an office should not be actively Identified with the political machinery of a great party engaged in the struggle for supremacy, especially in a county such as New York, where violations of the election law are naturally to be expected.

But such criticism is of course withovit foundation when applied to the present district attorney of the County of New York. He is too strong an advocate of the idea of reform to allow the fact that, he was the c'lairman of the law committee of Tammany Hall to have any effect whatever upon his official actions." There are twenty pages more, just as good, devoted to Gardiner. Some powerful of McCullagh's ability as a letter writer are given, one letter addressed to Asa Bird Gardiner being iVtrtlc ularly scathing. He tt Ks what he thinks of Tammany in this sentence: "Xol deeming the Not Appear on the Face of His Finding. Sup.

Ct. of Pcnn.) The plaintiff and defendant were partners in business. They were unable to agree upon the settlement of the partnership accounts, and so they entered into an agreement to leave tho settlement thereof to certain expert accountant and to abide by his decision, and the defendant, gave bond to secure his compliance with the terms of this agreement. The accountant, having spent about six months in examining the books and papers of the firm, made a written report to the partners, in which he concluded that the defendant was indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of JI.S10.28. Subsequently the plaintiff went to the expert accountant with one of his bookkeepers and showed him an alleged error.

In thai he had given defendant, credit for the same thing in two places. The plaintiff and his bookkeeper succeeded in satisfying the accountant that he Speaker Reed informed Congressman Amos J. Cutnmings when the bill passed the House a few weeks ago, that he would fight it to the bitter end on account of the adoption of the amendment which provided for the increase of the Marine Corps, and which added about a million dollars to the amount required for tho Navy after the reorganization process. Ho said that he had been grossly deceived, and that he never would have given his consent to the consideration of the bill if he had not been told that $000,000 would cover the extra cost entailed by the measure, and that the Marine Corpa amendment had been placed in the bill without his knowledge or consent. Of course, if the naval reorganization bill fails of passage by March 4.

the friends of the measure will have to start in all over again in the next Congress. This Tact is urging them to continuous effort at this time to get the bill through the conference committee and in such shtiye that it can be agreed to and adopted finally by the Senate and House.

He loses no opportunity to arraign the President for his views in connection with the Philippine Islands, and the enlargement of the Army, and he says that the wild career of extravagance which has been incurred in order to back up the imperialistic idea, will plunge the government into debt and the Republican party into disaster. Many of Reed's close personal friends have urged him not to place himself in direct opposition to the administration's measures and have told him that he is destroying himself politically by so doing.

The Speaker, however, seems absolutely indifferent to public opinion, and is insisting that, his views are right, and that later on when the American Opera House next week, with a chorus of twenty choir boys and some new songs.

Last night was a revival night in every sense of the word in the rooms of the Amphion Musical Society at the corner of Cly mer street and Division avenue. The occasion was a complimentary dinner given by Walter S. Horn, the president of the society, to members and friends. About one hundred covers were provided, and there were no vacant seats. Several bright after dinner speeches were made, and they were interspersed by good vocal and instrumental music.

The intent of many of the speakers was evidently to infuse some of its old time vigor into this useful and popular organization. Mr. Horn presided, and around him, at or near the chief table, were prominent citizens of the Nineteenth Ward Republican Club and other friends. Among these were the Rev. Dr.

James Henry Darlington, rector of Christ Church, Bedford avenue; the Row William Winter Mix, secretary of the National Tempeiauce Society, Philadelphia; B. G. Latimer. B. V.

The Appellate Court reverses the court below on the ground that the accountant was an arbitrator, and having given award under the arbitration agreement, he was fund 11. officio, and could not arbitrate the case over again, except upon a new agreement or conncnt of the parties, and hence his second award was void and of no effect. The court says: "Tho proceeding under review was to enforce the second award, and one of the grounds of deiense, and the only one which nec i be considered, was thai the award was invalid. No error appeared on the face of the report.
