Ac­ cording to estimates made by State Auditor Brady, the new rate will be Around 70, which means a state tax of 70 cents upon every $100 of equalized assessment of property. A year ago the state tax rate wi\j fixed at 38. As i& consequence of its being so low, the newly installed state officials declare, the ordinary working jbalance of between three million and (four million dollars that was usually >carried in the state treasury has been !requlred to meet appropriations made jbefore they were Inducted into office, the low tax rate not producing suffi­ cient revenue to meet the expenses of government. In the judgment of Auditor Brady, [based upon a careful calculation of the various sources of revenue, a state |taxrate of 68 or 70 cents will produce •sufficient, revenue to meet the appro­ priations of the last general assembly ;and restore to the state treasury a j working balance of approximately two t&nd one-half million dollars. About $1,350,000 1b paid into the 5|vV^ jstate treasury-annually now by the i*' Illinois Central railroad, under its charter. It is estimated that the fees from the secretary of state's office, in­ surance department and Other state [departments will show a substantial [increase in the next year. It is impos­ sible, of course, to estimate the amount of inheritance taxes that will be col­ lected. Appropriations of the last legisla­ ture aggregated $#£,915,457.93, and of :this amount $23,5^9,576.42 was appro­ priated for use by June 30 of next jyear. Approximately $7,725,000 al- iready has been paid on this amount, (leaving $15,864,576.42 to be paid before (July 1 of next year, when the remain­ der of the appropriations made by the ilast legislature become payable. Returns made by the equalisers «how substantial increases in the val­ uation of every class of property with tthe single exception of the capital stock of railroads. This item shows A reduction of $505,596( In other classifications, however, the railroads wer« hard hit. The assessment on [personal property and lots of rail- froads was increased $9,164,694, the assessment of their tangible property !by the state board was increased $23,- >781,501 and the assessment of electric lines was raised $986,310, making a itota! increase in the assessments of Tatlroads of $3^426,909. The personal property assessment shows the greatest Increase, this year's valuation being fixed at $1,528,- >€71,142, which is an increase of $116,- 158,407 over last year's figures. The valuation of farm lands is raised $8,826,663, aggregating $2,084,215,731. Town and city lots are given a valua­ tion of $2,927,417,271, an increase of i$74,172,471 over last year.

J 5.--Jessie Wood- row Wilson, second of President Wil­ son's three daughters, was married to Francis Bowes Sayre at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon. The ceremony took place in the east room of the White House, and was performed by Rev. Sylvester Beach of Princeton, N. J., the president's former pastor and the close friend of the Wilaon family for many years. The entire affair was very simple, as had been requested by the bride, and the number of guests was rather t small--distressingly so to many per­ sons in official and social circles of Washington who had expected to re­ ceive Invitations bat were disappoint­ ed. Miss Margaret Wood row Wilson, eldest of the three daughters, acted as maid of honor to her sister, and Miss Eleanor Randolph Wilson, the youngest, was one of the bridesmaids' The three other bridesmaids were Miwa Adeline Mitchell Scott of Prince­ ton, daughter of Prof. William B. Scott; Miss Marjorie Brown of Atlan­ ta, Pa., daughter of Mrs. Wilson's cous­ in, Col. E. T. Brown, and Miss Mary Q. White of Baltimore, a college friend of the bride. Dr. Grenfell la Best Man. Mr Sayre was attended by his best man Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, the fa­ mous medical missionary to the fisher­ men of the Labrador coast. The two men have long been fast friends and Mr. Sayre spent two summers help­ ing Dr. Grenfell with his work. The ushers were Charles E. Hughes, Jr., son of Justice Hughes of the Su­ preme court and a classmate of Mr? Sayre in the Harvard law school; Dr. Gilbert Hoi'ax of Montclair, N. J., who was a classmate at Williams college in 1909 and now at Johns Hopkins uni­ versity; Benjamin Burton of New York city, and Dr. Scoville Clark of Salem, Mass., who was Mr. Sayre's companion in Labrador and Newfound­ land. Wedding Gown of Ivory 8atin. The bride's gown was of satin, of a soft ivory tint, trimmed with beau­ tiful lace, both old and rare. It was made in New York and the women connoisseurs declared that it was a masterpiece. The lingerie in the trousseau is of the most dainty mate­ rial and is all hand made. The maid of honor and bridesmaids were beauti­ fully gowned and all looked their best. Coming right in the midst of the chrysanthemum season, this was made a chrysanthemum wedding and that flower was used most profusely In adorning the White House. As the bride's favorite color is mauve, that was made the prevailing color in the decorations. The east rocm, and in­ deed all the rooms in the president's mansion, were beautiful indeed. Depart on Their Honeymoon. After the ceremony wac completed Mid the couple had received the con­ gratulations oi the guests, refresh' ments were served, and then Mr. and Mrs. Sayre departed for their honey­ moon. Their plans Include a visit to the home of Miss Nevin, Mr. Sayre's aunt, at Windsor Forges, near Church- town, Pa., where they first met After January 1 they will live in Williams- town, Mass., for Mr. Sayre is to sever his connection with the office of Dis­ trict Attorney Whitman In New York and become assistant to Harry A Gar­ field, president of Williams college.

"- Never despair, but if yon do, work in in despair.--Burke There was one disappointment for those who attended the wedding, for the gifts were not put on display. It is known that these included many beautiful and valuable articles sent by relatives and personal friends of the bride and groom and of their fam­ ilies and by admirers of President Wilson. Handsome presents were sent by both the senate and the house, that of the latter being a diamond Ia- valliere which Miss Genevieve Clark, daughter of the speaker, bought for the representatives in New York. Guests Limited to 400. Those who were invited to witness the wedding were mostly personal friends and the number was kept down close to four hundred. The list waa pared and revised several times, and as has been said, the operatlon result­ ed in many heartburnings. From the house of representatives' circle, for Instance, the only guests were Speaker Champ Clark, Mrs. Clark and Miss Genevieve Clark, Marjory Leader Un­ derwood and Mrs. Underwood, and Minority Leader Mann and Mrs. Mann. As might be expected, the streets outside the White House were as crowded as the police would permit with curious persons eager to watch the arrival and departure of the guests Gift of the Hous* la the diamond lavalllere which wag the wedding present of the house of representatives to Jessie Woodrow Wil­ son. and trying to obtain through the win­ dows a glimpse of the doings within. The police arrangements were admir­ able and nothing happened, in the White House or outaide, to mar the happy occasion. Immense Wedding Cake. Jessie Wilson's wedding cake was a triumph of the paBtry cook's art It was two and a half feet tall, counting the white orchids that were piacea on top of it, and weighed 135 pounds. The'first layer was four Inches thick and 22 inches across. The cake con­ tained 19 ingredients and its cost was about $500. Over the body of the cake was molded a thick white icing scroll work, on its top waa a design for the initials of the bride and groom, done in Bilver, and around the sides were lilies of the valley in white sugar. This delicious confection was distributed in 2,000 dainty white boxea tied with satin ribbon and each of the proper size to go under the pillow of the recipient to bring dreams.

Dr. Renaud is some hero, as the passen­ gers of the line can attest, A week before arriving here the Philadelphia was lying at Puerto Cabello. Thiee bull fights were announced for the afternoon. After a lady equestrienne had danced about the bull and given cute exhibitions of managing "Horsey" a strong man came in and broke big chains on his chest and sustained the weight of five or six men on aforesaid chest A matador, nattily attired and gaily bespangled, came bowing and smiling .Into the bull ring. There was a mag­ nificent bellow turned loose at the entrance, and as the curtains were parted a big bull appeared. An at­ tendant jabbed his bullship in the ribs, and with an awful roar, taurus turned loose and made for the matador. The matador tantaiizingly waved a red bandanna with his left hand, while he held his sword In place with his right. The bull dldnt pay attention to the bandanna at all. He made straight for the matador, and the matador dodged him. Again the bull disregard­ ed the bandanna, and the matador saw that something was wrong. Either this bull didn't understand the sport or he was foxy. The wielder of the sword and rag dropped both and made a marathon for the palings which were five or six feet high. The bull tore after him and caught the, unfortunate bull fighter as he was making a flying leap. He sent him ten feet into the air and the matador came down hard in the bull ring. Again the bull made for the prostrate » 8ent Him Ten Feet Into the Air. form with lowered head.

A 40 cent seat is a seat in the shade. You can stand in the shade for 30 cents and in the sun for 20 cents. Dr. Renaud vaulted over the palings and rushed to the side of the wounded man.

He went over the palings like a deer vaulting a tiny brook.

If the banana peel had been SO feet either way from the spot where Barr encountered it his death would have been certain. As it was, Barr was imbedded In sticky clay. He qianaged to get his face above the surface and began struggling to ax-(' trlcate himself. %In response to a telephone call a squad of police with a Btretcher ar­ rived in a patrol wagon. Leo Gaua was lowered with a rope which he tied to Barr. The crowd at the top of the cliff was unable to pull Barr from his incasement of mud: Harry Gelss, passing in an automo­ bile was stopped.
