House bill No. 343, which was intro
duced by Representative .Mauley, of
Allilna. and has become a law, Is
claimed to make some excellent pro
visions in connection with making as
easment and of collecting and paying
taxes.
The first section provide that in the
an sediment and tax roll of the several
counties, in addition to the column
elsewhere provided, there shall be added
four columns one of which shall be
headed "Cities," one "School Districts,"
one "Am't City Tax." and one "Ain't
School Dist. Tax"; and it (ball be the
duty of the several rouuty assessor, in
making their assessments, to enter op
posite each item of property assessed, iu
its appropriate column, the name of the
city or incorporated town ana the num
ber of the school district in which each
item of proerty aseeesed is assessable.
In preparing the tax rolls in the sev
eral counties after the several assess
ment therein have been finally equal-.
iied, it shall be the duty of the clerks of
the countv court iu the several counties
to compute the aggregate value of all
the assessable property in each of the
incorporated towns or cities and in each
of the several school districts in each
county, ana to compile the same upon a
page or page of the roll in ea?h county,
showing the names of the incorporated
towns or cities arranged alphabetically,
and the number of the school district
arranged consecutively, with the aggre
gate valuation of the assessable property
iu each town or city and of each school
uisinci mown opposite to tne name or
number thereof respectively.
All the taxe hereafter levied by any
school district or incorporated town or
city shall be levied upon the property
therein respectively aessable upon the
valuation of such property as shown by
the assessment roll last compiled Iwfore
the levy is made in the county in which
such school district or incorporated
town or city is included ; and it shall be
the duty of the clerk of the county court
in each of the several counties, upon ap
plication of the clerk or board of school
dir9nrs of any school district and of
the recorder, auditor or clerk, common
council or board of directors, or trustee
of any incorporated town or city, to fur- j
nish a certificate under the seal of the
county court allowing the aggregate val
uation of the assessable projierty in the
school district or incorporated town or
city from which such application shall
have been made.
It shall be the duty of each school
district and each incorporated town and
city to notify, in writing, the clerk of
the county court in the county within
which the school district, town or city is
respectively situated, of the rate per
cent of the tax levy made by it on or
before the first day of February in each
year, which notice snail be kept on file
by the several clerks and remain a part
ot the record of the office.
Section 6 provide that all such taxes
(hall be collected by the same officer in
the same manner and at the same time
as taxes for county purposes are col
lected. It shall be the duty of the tax
collector to pay to the county treasurer
In hi county as often as once a week all
taxes collected, and he shall inform the
treasurer whenever he pay over to him
any of the money so collected what
amounts thereof are to be credited to
the several funds for which they are
respectively collected, taking the re
ceipt of the treasurer in triplicate (or
th amount paid into each fund, one of
which receipts tor each fund he shall
retain, file one with the clerk of the
county court and furnish one to the
school district, town or city for which
each of such amounts are so paid ia.
The treasurer shall keep the moneys
received from th tax collector in sepa
rate funds, and Shall pay over to the
several school districts, town or cities,
upon demand made by them, the
amounts thereof to which they are re
spectively entitled, taking their receipt
therefor.
All law providing for assessors in or
assessment of property by any school
district, incorporated town or city, and
all law in conflict herewith be and the
same are hereby repealed.
It's sometimes said patent medicines
are for the ignorant. The doctors foster
this idea. "The people." we're told,
"are mostly ignorant when it comes to
medical science." Suppose they are I
What a sick man need ia not knowl

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures

no "if" nor "possibly." It say "I
can cure you, only do as I direct." Per
haps it falls occasionally. The makers
bear of it whea it does, because they

dation train in West Philadelphia.

the last car of the accomodation train,
which was crossing the track : of the
Southern Express and was bit full in the
middle by the engine of that train,
mashing it to piece. Passenger on
the express train were uninjured. The
accident was due to the lipery con
dition of the track, making it impossible
for the engineer of the express to control
the traiu. Four were killed and ten
injured, none dangerously.

Salac for Her Crass.
Lohdok, Feb. 22. Princes Kaiauiaoi,
heiress to the throne of Hawaii, sailed
today for New York on the steamer Teu
tonic. The prince is accompanied by
Theophalu Iavies, wife and daughter,
and by Miss Warloff. Her residence in
England ha heretofore been kept a
secret, but Davits, after repeated re
quests, consented to permit a corrapond
ent to have an interview with the prin
cess at his residenee.
Princess Kaiaulani ia tall and slender,
with a more thoughtful deliberate air
than might be expected in a school girL
She is a brunette, with eye of a gaxelle
and features that snggest a suspicion of
Kanaka origin. She was somewhat
nervous during fhe interview. She said
ah had nothing to add to the appeal
which she had addressed to the Ameri
can people, and she expressed her
thanks that her appeal had been for
warded to the American newspaper.
Ehe had, she taid, no definite plans,
bnt would be guided by her guardian,
Mr. Davie. She proposed to apend two
day in New Y'ork and then visit Boston
where ahe would remain nnlil after the
inauguration of President Cleveland,
then ahe would gojto Washington and
probably make a personal appeal to
Cleveland. The princes added sho had
no frieod in America exceDt the friends
of Davie, fche timidly expressed the !
hope that ahe might gain the sympathy
ot the American people.
"I cannot see," she continued, in a
modest, hesitating tone, "why I should
be lummarily deprived of my recognised
legal rights for no fault of mine, and
without being notified to appoar in de
fense of my right. I ask only that
right of appearance which fhe American
law gives to everybody before they are
deprived of their right. I knowaUo-
lutely nothing about this affair except j ln"iu0' w,'8n K"1 on 10 the lon

The reasoning of, those ofhi'lals ia that
the eastern Hues have attempted to do
too much andlhe western lines too little.
The eastern lines have practically agreed
to maintain the present rates during the
fair. A decrease of 30 per cent in fare

Passenger officials quoted do not believe
the eastern lines or any line ran main
tain a higher round-trip rate than a fare
and a half during the world' fair. The
western lines, on the contrary, have put
off consideration of the world' fair rate
until it is probably too la I

An et tract, which we are permitted
to take from a letter from Norman C.
Wilson, who is collecting plant and
specimen for the Botanical gardens at
Berkley, Cal., gives us a glimpse of the
"Maiove Ieort," which mar not bo un

j time in a generation the sUrs and stripe
today float over an o-can greyhound, the
peer of any trail afloat. For th first
time since the country boasted a mer
cantile navy of clipper ships whose sail
w hltened every quarter of the globe tn

welt-equipped, incomparable steamship,
and It is singularly appropriate too that
it should be unfurled on Washington's
birthday. Bad weather did much to
diminish the crowds lining the Battery
and the neighboring shore. "Old Glory"
was spread from the stern of the New
York amid the shrieking of innumerable
shrill whistle from various river Craft,
the roar of cannon from United State
mon-of-war re-erhied by gun of the fort,
and the cheering of hundred of onlook
er. The event inaugurates a new era
in American shipping history. AH pa
triotic American have had the deepest
interest in transferring the majestic
steamships City of New York and City
of Paris from the British to the Ameri
can flag, and the ship wss crowded with
guest favored with invitations to wit

guished officer of the government, of
the states and of this municipality, and
the lending men in commerce and the
professions were invited to witness th
act, including the president and mem-
I bert of the cabinet, United States sena
tors and representatives.
The president and party arrived at
