J., Feb. 7. The state lioanl of education has completed the apportionment of school moneys for 1007, and shows the treasury for school purposes to lo in excellent oon dltlor.. The. amount of money to be raised by taxntlon for state school purposes is $.1.238, R58, and the amount apportioned from the state fund to lessen the amount to be raised by tax ation Is $1.0711,519. This, with the $200. 000 apportioned from the state school fund, malics a total of $4,518,077, as against a total last year of $3,372,028. This increase is due to the Increase in rateables last year. The school tax Is raised each year on a basis of 2 mills on each dollar of assessed valuation of property of the preceding year. The state board of education in the apportionment Includes also the money apportioned by the state controller under the tax to be derived through the Perkins main stem tax law which the railroads have carried to the courts. This adds $2.530,8G7 to the $4, 618,077, and makes a grand total of $7,048,943 available for RChool pur poses for 1907 in addition to what may be raised throufih local taxes. CUBANS OPPOSE ARMY PLAN They Think It Involves Compulsory Military Service. Havana, Feb. 7 The Cuban people generally ore manifesting opposition to the project to increase the armed force of the republic, as set forth In the decree issued by Governor Ma goon. At first the Moderates were dis posed to approve the project, but now they oppose is strongly. They are of the impression that the plan involves compulsory military Bervice. This con ception evidently Is based upon a mis understanding of the plain terms of thedecree, which merely declares the liability of all able-bodied citizens for military service In emergencies In the same manner that the constitution of the United States refers to military service.

Few Itcnll7,c How lnrc Texis le;illy Is Four Inhabitants of One County There Wntrrtnwn, X. Y Has tho Iongest Itlock and Chi cago the Longest Street. The following collection of geo graphical peculiarities about the United States embodies many unique facte which are worth remembering. A novel way to demonstrate the enormity of the State of Texas Is to spread out a map of the United States and stretch a string across Texas the longest way. Then plucing one end of your measure on Chi cago you will find that the other end will extend into either the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico, says the New York Sun. The two largest counties In the United States are Custer county, Mont., and San Bernardino county, Cal. Each of these Is a little more than 20,000 square miles in extent, and the States of Massachusetts, Khodo Inland, Delaware and New Jersey could be put inside the bound aries of either of them. Tho smalles county In tho Union Is Bristol county, It. I., which has only twenty-five square miles. The county In the United States having the largest population is New York, which has more than 2,000,000 peo ple in It. At the time of the last cen sus Bailey county, Tex., which Is about as large as Rhode Island, had only four Inhabitants. The longest block in any American city Is in Watertown, N. Y. This mu nicipal freak is a row of business houses nearly five squares long. It contains the offices and stores of 145 different Arms, forty-five tenants and a hotel with eighty-five rooms. The total valuation of the property In this block is almost ? 1,000,000. The longest street in the United States nnd in the world as well Is Western avenue, Chicago, which is exactly twenty-two miles long. Its nearest rival Is Halsted street, alt-o In Chicago, which Is two-thirds of a mile shorter. Halsted street Is so much more closely built up that It is usually spoken of as the longest street In the world. By traversing Its length one may see nil the Indica tions of the varying phases of Ameri can life, from the hovels of outcast sin to the palaces of pork packing millionaires. Interspersed with tho native Americans on this one street are six distinct colonies where the people speak other languages than English namely, Germans, Italians, Rus sian Jews, Bohemians, Poles and Greeks. Halsted street is crossed over and under by twenty railroads. It is estimated to be the chief busi ness center and lounging place for 175,000 people, more than there are in Arizona, Idaho, Nevada or Wyom ing. About fifty miles from Durango, Colorado, there is a point where four States meet. At this place by step ping a few feet in either direction one can walk in four different Com monwealths in aa many seconds. These States are Colorado, Utah, Ne'v Mexico and Arizona. A nearly parallel case Is at Harper's Ferry, where the train stops a few minutes to allow the passengers to alight and enjoy a view which permits them to look Into three States Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. The highest and lowest elevations In this country are in California, within 100 miles of each other. The loftiest is Mount Whitney, 14,499 feet high, and the lowest Is Death Valley, about 450 feet below the level of the sea. Two Oceans Pass, in Yellowstone Park, Is so named be cause whenever there Is a shower In the vicinity and a certain small creek overflows, its waters spread out over the edge of the continental divide and pass into tributaries of rivers which flow to the Atlantic and to the Pacific. There are a number of cases where unique situations have devel oped tn cities that happened to be di vided by State lines. These oddities are the result ot differences In law. The boundary between Texas and Arkansas runs along the main street of Texarkana, and formerly if a fight occurred on one wide of the street the combatants had only to cross to tho other sidewalk to be out of the Jurisdiction of the authorities gov erning the territory where the dis turbance had taken place. The two sides of Texarkana did not develop equally, because the administration of one States was more enterprising than the other. Bristol Is located on the State line between Tennessee and Virginia. One of these States has a regulation preventing colored people from oc cupying the same street car seats with whites and the other has not, consequently the colored people may stay on one side of the car on the boundary street and sit where they please. The dividing line between Missouri and Kansas is State street in Kansas City. Missouri is wet and Kansas is dry, so one side of that particular avenue is literally lined wUtl "First" and "Last Chance" sa loons.

One Ijoumcd I'p 011 the Hcreen at Mhow nnd a Detective Found Him With That Clue Chance (Jllinpse of it Photograph I1 Finally to One Woman's Capture. "Tho high notch criminals, the fellows who pull off big Jobs and have to make big Jumps, are com plaining more and more of how small the world Is growing," he said. "Yet there are still plenty of hiding places. The element of chance constantly figures In the apprehen sion of wanted men. Only a couple of weeks ago a badly wanted Chi cago stickup man was snagged at Tasadena, Cal., through some mov ing pictures, says an old detective la the New York Sun. "The stickup man put a ball In the shoulder of a Chicago merchant who refused to be frisked with his eyes wide open. This happened last winter. The whole country was cir culated aud the Chicago flies had been doing the dragnet thing to pick up the stickup mau's trail for nearly a year. "Some time ago the moving pic tures of the Jack O'Brien-Tommy Burns light, which took place at Los Angeles, reached Chicago. A party of the Chicago flies went to the place where they were shown to have a look. Before tho pictures showing tho fight were thrown on tho screen there were a lot of the moving films showing scenes in the training camp of the two scrappers. "In the forefront of one of the films stood the stickup mnn, per fectly unmistakable. Tho natural vanity of all humans causes them to face moving picture machines when the pictures are being taken, and the stickup man away In front, and mag nified two or three times in size, was grinning straight at the detectives. When the exhibition wns over the detectives had a look at the film on which the stickup mnn appeared, and found that they were dead right. One of them immediately hopped out to Los Angeles. The stickup man had seen the fight picture himself, aud he figured that there might be something doing when the Chicago detectives had their peek at them. So he quit playing the Los Angeles races and laid low In Pasadena, where he lived, for u while. But the Chicago detective got on his trail in Los Angeles, and nailed his man at Pasadena. Detectives find out among other things that the great majority of crooks are very vain people and In spite of their rogues' gallery experi ences they are forever having their pictures taken. "It may be that it's because of their rogues' gallery experiences that they do this. Few of them look pret ty In their police mugged pictures and their vanity Incites them to have photographs taken that look like them when they're In the unsnagged state. These pictures are often Inno cently put on view by photographers and many a crook Is picked up in this way. I got a noted woman gem lifter that way twelve years ago. She'd turned two big Maiden lane tricks and the Jewellers' Protective Association wanted her a whole lot. "A Job that was a good deal like her work was pulled off in a Denver gem house three or four months af ter her getaway from New York and I was sent out there to prowl some. It looked poor to me after I'd been on the Job In Denver for a week. I knew a number of stool pouters out there, but they couldn't give me any thing about her. The Denver files weren't hep to anybody that looked at all like her. "I was Just about to flag the Job and crawl In with the poor mouth and the tale of nix nix, when one af ternoon I stopped at a Denver pho tographer's show case to rubber at tho pictures, a new display which had only been tacked up a couple of days or so. The middle picture resting against the black velvet was a big, boudoir size thing, and it was my woman, in a fine clean lace drets, full figure, with a fan In her hand and looking like a somebody hostess receiving her guests for a pink tea. "I made the photographer's up stairs plant in three Jumps and I had no trouble In showing him that I had a right to ask him where the woman of the boudlor size picture was. The photograph had only been taken a month or so before, and he hud only to turn over a few pages of his book to find the name and address of the Bitter. The name was phony, of course, but the address was all right. She was living at Manltou Springs. I went thero and found her in her flat, pretty snug, with coin to toss at the brier birds. She clawed me up quite a few with her nails when I told her she was the one, but I brought her back all right. A Writer's l'luythlng.
