New York Lawyer SIIE facility with which personalty can be removed cither to another county or another state renders it a very unsatisfactory subject for taxation. I AM OPPOSED TO TAXATION OF PERSONAL PROPERTY FOR THE REASON THAT IT ENABLES THE VERY RICH TO EVADE THE PAYMENT OF THEIR JU8T SHARE OF THE REVENUE OF THE CITY OR. STATE IN WHICH THEY RESIDE, WHILE ESTATES AND LEGATEES AND THE COMPARATIVELY POOR MUST BEAR THE BURDEN". It is not only an easy matter for great capitalists to convert their holdings of personalty into government or city bonds, even though it be only temporarily, or other nontaxable assets, such as the stock of corporations, but they can with equal facility set up over against the enormous earnings in their business enterprises actual or even contingent debts, which so shrink their holdings as to make them practically untaxable. Or they can swear that their country homes in other states or even in other counties of the state are their actual legal residences and thus evade taxation. Recently in, the settlement of a modest estate a widow was given by will a ten thousand dollar mortgage without the power of converting it into money. She has to pay her i per cent tax out of the 4V$j per cent the money earns, leaving her but a trifle for her interest in the property. This is by no means an isolated case.

The bill provides that three commissioners shall be appointed by the president to carry out the law, one of them being selected, by the Indians themselves.

Women ' suffer ing from female troubles and weakness, and from irregular or painful men ses, ought not to lose hope if doctors cannot help them. Phy sicians are so busy with other diseases that they do not un derstand fully the peculiar ail ments and the delicate organism of woman. What the sufferer ought to do is to give a fair trial to ORAD FIELD'S Female Regulator which is the true cure provided by Nature for all female troubles. It is the formula of a physician of the highest standing, who devoted his whole life to the study of the dis tinct ailments peculiar to our moth ers, wives and daughters. It is made of soothing, healing, strengthening herbs and vegetables, which have been provided by a kindly Nature to cure irregularity in the menses, Leu corrhosa, Falling of the Womb, Nerv ousness, Headache and Backache. In fairness to herself and to Brao fold's Female Regulator, every suffering woman ought to give it trial. A large $i bottle will do a wonderful amount of good. Sold by druggists.

Moire band trimming Is used on many of the new spring suits. Homespun, which was- bo popular during the past season, will be much worn this spring. Little turnover lace or embroidered collars are popular for wear over satin or silk neck ribbons. . ' Short tan covert Jackets or full length taffeta coats are to be the popular things In coats for spring. Black and white still retains a de cided vogue and is effectively combined in many handsome models of the spring nlllinery. Collars of real Bruges guipure lace in white and ecru are wide and extend over the shoulders and part way down the back. They can be worn with even ing gowns or reception dresses. A new finish for waists consists of a white lace collar, edged with finely plaited black chiffon, which is in turn bordered with a narrow chiffon pom padour niching. It has the effect of a bertha and gives the desired width at the shoulders. Bow to Care Nerall. A towel folded several times and dip ped in hot water and quickly wrung and applied over the toothache or neu ralgia will generally afford prompt re lief. This treatment in colic works like magic. There is nothing that so prompt ly cuts short a congestion of the lungs, tore throat or rheumatism as hot wa ter when applied promptly and thor oughly. Bow to Rcdac Yoar Weight.
