New York, June 1—Umpize McDer- mott gave this afternoon’s 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 then’ 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.

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.’ 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 men’s property shrinks so alarmingly (iike Vance’s 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?

According to the State Auditor’s report for 1896 the sum of $4,135,761 was the to- tal amount of “money 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. ~ mete saan bon nes A Housshold Necessity.

R.KENLY, Gen’i Manager, ae ~ THE MORNING STAR The Oldest Yaily Newspaper ia | Points About Mahogany—Timber Formerly ° ‘| 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 ccm uniemidiimaaieniceeed / There are Others, more cases ' The Fayetteville Observer 8a; 8: |; AA that BS there was a well-to-do farmer in|% Recertly we announced this county who warted a wife, aud siuce then this,office has beén deiuged with letters from fair “ oues in all parts ot the State and | 4c several from Virginia and South Carolina.
