MURDERED lN APARTMENTS.
.Woman Had a Desperate Struggle and
Fifteen Knife Wounds.
NEW YORK. February li—ers.
Kate Vocpel. a widow. was murdered
in her apartments at No. 129 Christo-
pher street. early today. She was
found dead by her young son at 10
o'clock. There were fifteen knife
thrusts in her body. and a disordered
blood-marked room told of a desperate
struggle before the woman gave up.
The police detained the son, but have
little reason to suspect him and have
so far been unable to fathom the case.
Robbery was evidently not the motive
for a large diamond ring was left an.
touched on the body. Mrs. Voepei was
seen alive. at 0 o'clock and it was her
failure to go to a news and cigar storc
kept by herself and son that led to
inquiry and the discovery of her body.

Auditor Merriam. ill illii'ii, Will
in issue Certificates '
CHICAGO. February i-imAudltur of
State Merriam. of Jews, has ordered
ten of the foreign fire insurance com-
panies to withdraw protests they have
filed with him or suffer the penalty of
being refused certificates to transact
business in laws the current year.
The dlfliculty says the Record-Herald
arose over the 3% per cent. tax on
gross premium receipts. They have
filed the treasurer'a receipts with the
auditor. accompanied by rumou-
stranccs to the effect that Lil: tax
was paid under duress and stating that
they reserved the right to sue for re-
covery.
The auditor has informed thorn that
he cannot accept receipts for money
paid under duress and claims that by
virtue of the duress receipts are 'vi-
tlatod. Unless the protests are with-
drawn accordlngly the auditor has in.
formed them no certificates will be
issued. The companies object espec-
ially to the fact that companies or-
ganized in the United States outside.
of Iowa pay 2% percent. of their gross
premium receipts while they are. dis.
crimlnatcd against by having to pay
one per cent. more. A bill is already
before the legislature to reduce thc tax
on companies organized outside of the
United States to 2% per cent.
AMUSEMENTS.
Ll'i‘TLE MAM'SELIE 'i‘ONit‘lii'l‘.
The. Waterbury Republican). this
morning. prints the following highly
complimentary notice regarding Miss
Della Fox and her admirable company.
who will appear at, Hoyt‘s Theatre to
night in little Mam‘sello:
“Last evening at Poli‘s a large and-
icuce greeted liclla Fox. for years the
most charming and bewltchinu little
comedlennc on the American stage. in
a new departure. an original comedy
in three acts by John Fowler, entitled
The Little Mam'scllc. Miss Fox on
peared to advantage as Burton Brown
in the first act. wearing a smart boy's
uniform reminiscent of "A Pretty
Girl." in “Wang." and her large expres-
sive blue eyes. short golden hair. and
petite little form were displayed to ad~
vantage. A severe. throat affection
warranted her being exonseil from
rendering any vocal selections, but her
with: possessed all the magnetism
that has endeared her to the hearts
of thousands of theatre-goers. 'ihc
role. of "l'nc Little Mam'sello gives her
ample opportunity to display her you
satility. and although laboring under
difficulties her work'was generously
applauded. Miss Fox first made her
appearance in Waterbury in the days
of the Bennett & Moulton Opera (.30.
some twelve or fifteen years ago. and
since that time has been one of Am.
erlca‘s most popular comedisnnes.
sharing honors at various periods of her
."areor with Linian Russell. Do We
iloppor. Jefferson. DeAnaelss. The
Rogers Bros. etc. “The Little
Mam'seilc" is radically different. from
any of her former successes. but a
pleasing performance. A well-balanc-
ed company supports Miss Fox.”
MADAME BARUTIO COMiNG.
Those ' who love the quaint olu
Scotch ballads rendered with the true
Highland spirit. should not fail to hear
Madame Barutio. the prime donna who
is featured as a special attraction with
the Harcourt Comedy Company. which
will appear all next week at Hoyt's
Theatre. Madame l‘rutlo has long
made this class of music her special
study. and is considered one of the ab-
‘lest exponents of the Scottish sons
who appears in public.

NEW YORK'BLOW TAX RATE.
Will a: the smallest In Hilton! of
Emplro Blots.
ALBANY. February iii—”There is a
poslbllity that even the low tax rate
predicted by Governor Odell, in his
message. 13-100 of a mill will be still
further reduced by the Legislature.
when it fixes the onto 1th before ad-
journment and that the rate will be
the lowest in the history of the empire
state. In his annual message the gov-
ernor said that the tax would be about
thirteen one—hundredths of a mill.
which on the assessed value of real and
personal property of the state. toge-
ther with money raised by indirect
taxation would produce tltc 820000.000
necessary to run the state government:
The. assessment rolls have been prac.
ticaily completed with the exception of
one or two counties in which there is
never much change and'wbioh being
estimated give a total property valua-
tion in the state of 35.754.428.510: an
increase over last year of $67,000. This
is more than was estimated when the
governor's message was prepared, and
the ludicarpns are strongly that the
tax rate will be but‘a fraction exceed-
ing twelve one-hundreds of a mill.
This is the lowest tax rate over in
the history of the. state. indeed it is
only ‘Ouevtcnih of what any previous
low tax rate has ever been. The rate
last year was one and tWeuty-one hun-
drcdths mills.
