Base Ball. !
New York, June 1"Umpize McDer-
mott gave this afternoonTs game to
the New Yorks in the latter part of
the sixth inning because the Piratcs
refused to play ball, ~Lhe game had
been characterized by the kicking of
Killen and Donovan. With the score
7 to 0 in the sixth, the Giants got on
to Killen and hammered out three good
singles and a double, which netted them
four runs. With Holmes on first, Wil-
son hit to Padden who fumbled the ball
and when he regained it he tried to
touch Holmes. He thenT threw the
ball to first too late to catch Wilson,
McDermott declared both men safe
and the entire club lett the field and
surrounded the umpire. Killen was
sent to the bench and the men were
ordered to their positions. As they
continued to kick, McDermott de-
clared the game in favor of New York
9to 0. Ncbody was out when the
game was called, and two men were on
buses. Score. New York, 4; Pitts"
burg, 7.
Brooklyn, June 1"The Brooklyns:
and Clevelands were scheduled to play
two games for one admission at Kas"
tern park this afternoon, The first
game was about to hbegir when a heavy
shower passed over the grounds, leav-
iug them in such condition as to make
pla;ing impossible. After a wait of
nearly two hours tbe regular scheduled
game began. Score. Brooklyn, 73
Cleveland, 2.
Philadciphia, June 1"Philadelphia
defeated Louisville today in a game
that was replete with sensational field
plays. ~The most noteworthy were run-
ning catches by McCreary, Clark,
Cooley and Grier and a one hand catch
ot a wildly thrown ball by Nash. Hall-

Evasion of Taxation.
well
ea someway
Evasion of taxation is attempt-
ed by so many persons as to re-
quire a more vigorous method of
listing taxables. Many 1aen, who
are considered good citizens and
are members of some Church,
sesm to think there 18 nothing
wrong in their trying to escape
or evade taxation.T Many men,
who would promptly resent any
imputation upon their honesty,
do not hesitate to defraud the
State and county when they are
compelled to list their taxables
They resort to all kinds of tricks
and subterfuges, and some com-
mit downright perjury, in con-
cealing or undervaluing the
amount of their property liable
to taxation. The value of so
many menTs property shrinks so
alarmingly (iike VanceTs catfish)
when it is being fisted for tax-
ation. 1f you doubt this, just
notice when the list-taker begins
work | :
As our readers are aware, every
taxpayer in North Carolina must
list his taxables in June, and must
furnish the list-taker witha sworn
scription of all property owned
by him on tne first day of June.
Andit does seem that there is less
property in North Oarolina on
the first of June» than any other |
~day of the year. For instance?
Mr. Whitlock spoke on oThe |
- The last speaker was Mr. Cheek.
statement as to the value and de-| Hartford
deposit� never lists a dollar of it
for taxation. According to the
State AuditorTs report for 1896
the sum of $4,135,761 was the to-
tal amount of omoney on hand or
on deposit� that was listed for
taxation in this State last year.
And yet last week the banks in
one town alone (Raleigh) had
deposits to the amonnt of $1,460,-
000.92. Yes, the banks at Raleigh
according to their official state-
ments published last week, had
more than 4 third as much money
by all the. taxpayers of North
Carolina !
Of course the evasion of taxa-
tion by dishonest men makes
honest men pay more taxes than
they otherwise would have to
pay. A certain amount of taxes
must be raised every year, and if
some improperly eyade thei!
share it must be paid by others:
just as wheu a ieam of horses 1s
hauling a heayy load, if some of
the horses fail to pull their share
the others must pull it for them,
All honest taxpayers are there-
fore interested in seeing that
every taxpayer bears his proper
share of the public burden of tax-
ation and that none evade the
law."Chatham Record.

~| ufacture of furniture, though it,
WOODS USED IN FURNITURE,
Negiected but Employed Now.
Experts in old furniture are much
| guided in their judgment as to par-
ticular pieces by the wood of which
they are made, Mahogany fu-riture,
purporting tobe as much as two
centuries old, is subject to suspi-
cion, because mahogany was lithe
used in furniture until about the
middle of the eighteenth century.
A colonial New England piece is
much more likely to be of oak than
of mahogany, unless it belong to the
late colonial period. Mahogany was
a luxury even then, and oak was
used in ordinary households as be-
ing at once moderate in price and
durable.
It is easy to tell, whether a pro-
fessed European piece of walnut fur-
niture is genuine, by the quality of
the walnut. European walnut is a
denser and finer wood than most of
our walnut. A piece of furniture
made of ash at unexposed points
is almost certain to be of American
manufacture, but a piece having |
beech at such points is likely to be |
|
of European manufacture. Beech }
is plentiful in Europe and relatively
scarce in this country, and with
American makers of furniture ash
is a cheap substitute for beech and
oak. A chair made entirely of beech
is almost certain to be of European |
manufacture. Such chairs are often |
beautiful in form and extremely |
durable. Modern |
oneal
taste demands, |
however, that the beech be stained
to imitate mahogany.
late years, partly because timber of
the sort long used in furniture mak-
ing has become scarce, partly be-
cause modern machinery makes it
them unprofitable for cabinet made
furniture. Mahogany is much softer
and more easily worked than these
woods. Some New England folks
befare the middle of the present cen-
tury had a craze for furniture made
of ironwood, otherwise known as
hornbeam, and cabinet made furni-
ture of this material is found now
and then in Connecticut. The wood
is regarded by modern wood work-
ers as utterly unfit for working into
furniture. New York cabinet mak-
ers avoid the use of beech, and it is
used in this country mainly for fine
tool handles, in planes and the like,
just as lignum vite is in furniture
casters, blocks for pulleys and other
small articles,
Very old furniture in cherry is al-
most as highly prized as mahogany,
and fine old pieces in maple feteh
high prices. ~The best walnut furni-
ture of good old pattern is also high-
ly prized by the cabinet makers, ~as
walnut has become a very scarce
wood in this courtry."New York
