It consists* of carbon ' photographs, pho? togravures and color prints, loaned by the 'Elpon Art Publication com pany of Belmont, Mass. The collec tion is a large one and contains the very best reproductions of the mas terpieces of art of many different countries and periods from the great est public and private galleries. The collection comprises about two hundred subjects representing paint ings of many schools of art and in cludes reproductions \>f sculpture, the great cathedrals, and important views ! from nature. Few collections have ever been brought together which so completely cover the history oi" art. A catalog will be 6n. sale at the ex hibition hall. ? i No city or town should be iiuliffer 1 ent to the culture and refinement of its people. It is p#rt of the school Work to inculcate these qualities in the children through whatever means it has at its disposal. The whole- j some and refining influence of pic- j tures of the right sort on the school j walls is now generally recognised as one of the most valuable means of securing this end. The funds for purchasing: such pictures a^re secured by moans of the exhibition, and the community, as well as the teachers and pupils, are helped educationally by it. The larger the' attendance, the greater the number of pictures that can be secured for the schools, as all funds raised by the exhibit, less ex penses, will be used to purchase pic tures.

Query, of the state tax com* mission, in which Mr. Query directs the auditor tp instruct all local boards of assessors that it is their duty to assess all property at 42 per cent of its reasonable market value. Real its reasonsiblo market value. Mr. Query's letter to. Auditor Sparrov said: "In view of the constitutional re quirements contained in Section 1, Ar ticle 10, Constitution 1896, that all property be assessed upon a uniform basis in order to prevent inequalities arising, it is your duty to ascertain the true, reasonable market value of taeh and every item of property as u basis upon which all assessments for the purpose of taxation, regardless of classes, shall be made, and after as certaining such true, reasonable mar ket value of all property shall assess the same for purposes of taxation at 42 per cent of such valine and write tho> same in the column, 'Value by the township board.' In assessing real estate each lot, farm, plantation or separate parcel of land? is to be sep arately assessed with the value of the buildings thereon stated separately from the value of the lands." Mr. Query also urged that the in* equalities now existing in assess ments be removed. , "Much com | plaint," the letter said, "has been made that, gross inequalities exist among the individual owners of prop erty, both real and personal, and it is your dtfty to consider very care fully each return handled by you so that each taxpayer will pay his pro portionate shate of taxes, no more, no less. ? "Revenues necessary for county, school and municipal purposes are mh most wholly raised 'by levies on gen-, eral property- and because of the great increase in tax rates in the last ten years it is imperative that all property be returned and assessed at an equal and uniform rate. It is the grossest form of injustice to permit one taxpayer ttf avoid any part of the tax which he is due the state, county, school district or municipal ity in which the property is located. Where one taxpayer avoids the pay ment of his just and legal obligation it necessarily follows that his neigh bor must bear the burden which he escapes. The members of the local boards are the most important fiscal officers in our .state. On them rests the duty of helping to find and list ing all the taxable property in their districts/ JJ^they fail tp do theijr duty the property which is not listed will in nil probability never be taxed. If they place an undervaluation on. one taxpayer's property the * chances are that the property so undervalued will never be raised to an equality of that of his neighbor." Ilobbed Fifty Churche** Philadelphia, March 10. ? The pro verbial hunger of the church mouse was demonstrated here when Samuel "Churchmore" Clark, thirty-nine year-old negro, was induced to admit/ for an apple pie, that he had robbed fifty churches in this city. < A search of the man's room revealed $6,000 of silver and Bibles. The pie episode came at the end of a long day of grill ing by police. Clark had given sev eral addre^es that proved ficticious. He was asked if he was hungry, and upon his reply in the affirmative, a police captain sent out for an apple pie. "All of this is yours ? provided .you tell me the truth," said the po liceman. "I'll tell you anything," re plied the prisoner, and between bites he related how he had entered the churches and obtained the loot. Burglar Ball Player Leavenworth, Kans., March 13. ?

Now York, March 15. ? Widespread rumors that one of the largest of the Florida promotion companies was in financial straits which haV<v boon in circulation for several days created sufficient, uneasiness in W?H l^treet today to bring about heavy liquidation of some of -the Southern Railway share#. Atlantic Coast Lin< broke 18 Ir4 pointa to 208 And then rallied to 216; Seaboard Air Line common dropped 6 1-4 to 88 3-4 and then snapped back to 38, and the pre ferred closed 2 1-4 lower at 37 3-4, the minimum quotations in all cases representing new low records for the year. Wall street heard% all sorts of stories regarding FMVida;. conditions Including 1 reports that real estate mortgages were being offered at a substantial discount below their face value, and that the winter season in some of the prominent resorts, had been cut short by the early oxodua of Northern vacatipnists. Some of the large t'eal estate de velopments a>h>o were reported to be having difficulty in meeting their commitments but these lack official confirmalrcm. While bankers generally declino to comment on the situation it is known they have been urging extreme cau tion ? for the last few months and thAt in some cases they have recom mended the restriction of -develop ment programs not only in Florida but elsewhere. Today's selling of the Southern rail shares presumably was inspired" by the belief that a collapse [in Florida would have a bad effect on Southern business generally and might dela^ new construction and the? development of new enterprises. None of the Southern roads . is be lieved to Jt>e dircttfly ihvolved in land speculation although real estate hold ings have enhanced in value along with the general ripe in laiuf during ( the last ? few years. ??
