taxpayers Have to Get Explanations
of the Increased Valuation.
As was anticipated, the city assessors
me having troubles of their own this
wool? in explaining to pioperty owners
Just what the new assessment means
nnd why the valuation has been lalsed
fioin a one-thiid value to a full.
"Despite all that has appeared in the
Iiapeis for over a e.ir back," said one
of the nssessois yesterday, "the ma
jority of the taxpujeis don't seem to
uncle l. stand the situation yet. "We had
ii well-known attorney In heie the other
tiny appealing: fiom the 'valuation put
on ceitain piopeities, and we hud to
ialily pound It Into his head that prop
el ty has been assessed ut only one
thiid alue in past yeais and that the
aluatIon has been raised to full value
this venr.
"He couldn't undeistand It that way
nt all, and wo neatly exhausted our
selves getting him to undeistand. Thou
w o had to show that the Inci eased valu
ation doesn't mean an Inn ease In taxes,
because the millagc will be i educed.
This ptocess has to be lepeated with
neaily eveiy propeily owner. The min
ute ho learns that the valuation of hh
ptopeity lias been inci eased from $1,000
to $3,000, lie gets wildly excited and we

AN EFFECTIVE METHOD.
rrnctlcnl Knowledge of French in
Five Weeks.
t'lofessor J, B. Salter gate his flint
lecture on French jostottlny In St.
Luke's parish halt,
At both afternoon and evening lee
tuicft Interested lutdlcncoa were In ut
tendance. Tho piofcssor gave a puic
tleul (leumnsttatloti of his method atul
while ho Bpoko entirely In French every
ltetetior untlei stood him. lly means of
u blackboard and by gcstuics he con
eyed every slmde of meaning and In
this one leotuio gave a rcat knowledge
of more Ftench than homo study would
afford In u month. Ills method Is unique
and effective.
It will be lometiibeied that he gave
a coutso of lessons pievlotm to Christ
mas whlch-wus so satlsfnctoiy to his
pupils that they urged him to give tin
other course lu advanced study. The
picscut lessons are for students In ontly
lessons. No homo work Is requited by
his method, one hour ench day being
consumed In the lesMoni. The aveiago
Amot lean's Ft ench leaves much to be
dcslicd. He may bo able to lead It nnd
to understand It to some degieo, but
he Is aflllclcd with much timidity when
It comes to his own speech. He It not
altogether confident about his own ac
cent. It Is theiefore a ptlvllcge to hear
perfect Fionch spoken oveiy day. The
cultivation of the ear Is what in most
needed.
Professor Salter Is ptollclent In Eng
lish as lie Is a native of America and
theiefore coinptehentls nioie complete
ly tho difficulties which confiont tho
Ihigllsh-Hpeak'lng student In the Ficnch
language. Consequently In these
classes at the first lesson Professor Sui
te! 's pupils begin to speak French with
compiehcnslon. He makes the lessons
extremely Inlet estlng. All sorts of top
ics come up In the class and all the
subjects which are likely to be dis
cussed in every day life. In live weeks
he gunnintees a practical knowledge of
Fiench which will enable his pupils to
tiavel abroad without an lntcrpiotcr.
The ill st lessons will be given on
Filday at 4 o'clock and will be ftec to
all Interested. Theie will also bo a
lesson at 8 p. in. at which nil are wel
come. There will be fiee demonstra
tions today at 4 and S p. m. In St.
Luke's palish hall.

GREAT SUCCESS
PERFORMANCE AT THE LYCEUM
WAS WELL RECEIVED.
The Dances Were Delightfully Ex
ecuted nnd the Costuming Was a
Revelation of Aitistlc Beauty nnd
Color Miss Stownrt Demonstrates
Her Ability in Producing Wondei
f ul Effects All of the Dances Were
Given with Much Ticedoin of Ac
tion nnd Oincefulness.
There have been Klrmesses and Klr
messf's, but just its predicted, nothing
has ever uppi (inched tho spectacular
event which opened Inst night on tho
Lyceum stage and w 111 t ontlnuo during
the lemaliider of the week. The (onl -denco
felt In these happy piospcctri
was evident In the laigcst (list night
audience which have ever gteotcd u
similar affair. Everything went off
Bmootlily. Miss Stewni t has great ex
ecutive ability and sho was Just tti
much ready last night to manipulate
the evolutions of the 300 pcuplo on the
stage us she would be next month.
There nio no hitches In her manage
ment. Sho Is always picpaicd for any
emeigency, nnd nothing dlstutbs her
cqunnlmlty. Sho knows everything,
down to tho last detail of shoe-lace,
and leaves no chance for mishaps. How
on enith she can tialn such a multi
tude to do the most complicated dances
with little similarity In the character,
is a leal pioblem.
If the dear public wants to get a
good, comfoi table seat, In older to see
the Klimees, It must step lively, please,
after tho ndveitisement which lust
night's perfoimance will give. Theie
Is a gi eat advance sale for all tho other
ptescntatlons and the question Is likely
to icsolve Itself Into a scramble for the
remaining loges nnd boxes.

The curtain was lung up on the most
biilliantly splendid kuleldoscoiie of
color, when all the neiformeis weie
gioupcd in picturesque attitudes on tho
stage. Mr. Milton O'Connell, as Jester,
led the piocesslon which followed and
which evoked a continuous tumult ot
applause. Notwithstanding how en
thusiastic this might be, the edict had
gone forth fiom Miss Stewait that
theie weie to be no encoies, and theie
weie no encoies as fur as lenelltion
went. This was a tiuly wise piecautlon,
for last night's mogiamme was the
longest of the week.
ATTHAC'TIVE MUSIC.
The mu&ic selected was of tho most
atti active older and set eveijbodv's
toes a-tingle. The first dance was the
Gipsy, with Its gay colotlng and its
lovely poses, The peisonnel Is vqiy nt
ti active, and the costumes weie hand
some. This is the dance in which Miss
Helen M. Coibett does a wondeiful solo,
full of little, beautiful attitudes and
poetic movement. Mrs. It. M. Scranton,
Mrs. F. L Piatt, Mis. F. J. Piatt and
Mis. J. II. Toirey nie the chapeiones.
The Wooden Shoo dance followed.
Quaint and lhythmlc, the young peo

In blue, gave the liveliest possible dance
and came In for much anulause. Mis.
W. D. Klots, Miss Alice Matthews and
Miss Dale aie the chapeiones.
Tho Dance of All Nations was 'among
tho most amusing, as the little people,
fiom Uncle Sam and Miss Columbia
down to a bobbing Japanese couple,
went tluough with their piettv move
ments. Miss Romaine Smiths, and
Master Haity Ilumpluey, in the most
correct of Highland costumes, danred
a Highland Fling In a maimer that
waimed tho henrts of the Scotch con
tingent present. The costumes weie nil
exceedingly pleasing. Mis.. Thomas

Tho daneo of the Puges was ono ot
the very prettiest. Their costumes weio
elaboiato and beautiful to a degiee. It

countenances and the nnxlotis rate
about eatli gestuic. Miss Kann was n
lovely "Owl nnd Moon Lady," with
her attruetlve personality and that big,
ileh volco so adaptable to coon songu.
It is a satisfaction to hav'o her de
claie that sho Intends never to "black

fttlly successful In the chniuctcr
