BTEEET-CAn ETIQUETTE,

70 The Editor Of Tie CHICAGO Tribune:
SIR: Americans are said to be second only to
the Freuch in politeness. do not remember
who in particular said go. but am sure th.t q
little observation in Chicago sireot-cars and
ssages would modify that opinion = little.
Every man for himself, and the doyil tako the
h1ndmost." seems to bo the rule and, as far as
it appears to sui1endering seats to ladies' in
public conveyances, 1t is undoubtedly good
one. as it's practice tenda to prevent over
crowdinS. When lady attenpts to ride in q
crowded car or stage ehe should expect to stand
mp. Many women seem to th!n4 differently,
however. and without knowing, or caring per-
ha1s, how tired tho men enjoying seat for
probably tue first time In many hours arc, they,
by notions, and sometimes, / regret to say, by
words. express their OPINION Gentlemen
should not, however. make Doors OF themselves
By apptTing this rulo to everything.
A lzdss SKIRTS maIo 1t exceedingly difficult
getting into stage or car, aud no gentleman
should stand or sit within reach without ASSIST
ing her. or at least extending hls arm behind her
to prevent an accident that might cost 4 limb, or
oven life. To such little attentions no lady
will object, or regard it Us taking gu undue
liberty.
There is one thing, however. which is 80 ridic-
ulous aud SO vexatious to lady that ono Won
dcra why it is go general practice: When 3
lady en.ers partly filled srago the men ali
move GOWN t0HAf19 Tue loOf, 10IC1NR 1eF 10
drag her skirts between tho two TOMS Of muddy
boots to eeat st the upper end OF tbs stage.
with probability Of stumbling over half
cozen paira Of masculine knees in
rcaching it. While 3 gentleman occupy
ing the seat by the door should not move, e1-
ccpt to assist her ip as his reat is undesirable
one for lady, there can be no excuse for the
others, except igcc-snce-
Aud now. while on the snbject Of street eti-
quette, allow me to ask some OF the gentlemen
whv they persist in following the absurd West
ern custom OF putting a lady always on the
inside when walking on the street? What
ever may be the custom or fashion in this
matter common senso should teach q gentle
man to always give lady his right arm when
walking on the street, unless there be some
special danger from tbAt side, as, when walking
one way, il the lady is always on the inside, 6ho
will be constantly thrown against the tide Of
people going in tile opposite direction. jar.

Tax Dispute.
Dissolution Of the Injunction Against

Railroad.
Mrs. Barnum Blake Once More

TIE TOWN TAXES OF SOUTH CHICAGO.
motion was nude yesterday morning before
| Judge Farwell in the case Of L. B. Bowmer vs,
Tho Town Of South Chicago aud others. for m
injunction to prevent the collections Of 933, 600
taxes for the Town Of South Chicago. AIr.
Evans. on behalf OF the complainant, read the
BILL which alleged in brief that tho Town Board
OF South Chicago had assessed 245, 600 for tho
current year, that the Board OF County Cornnls-
slonets had made new assessment OF $50, ,000,
which it was proceeding to extend and collect.
The bill claimed that the County Board had no
power to make such an assessment, and that the
section giving them power was unconstitutional
and void frat because the County Board was
not the corporate authority or only authority of
the said town, quoting Secs. and 10 OF Art. 9
OF the Constitution OF 1870. The Supreme
Court had decided that these provisions are
limitations. So Ill, 304. Counsel held that tho
County Board was not the corporate authority,
Of TIE Towu Of South Chicago" az defined by
the Supreme Court, and that all powers were
vested in the Town Board OF Auditors any act
Of any other body, or any act which vested any
power in any body, except the corporate authors
t., was void.
The Court-Hava you found any way in which
the town taxes can be collected7
Mr.. Evens-I don't know, but as far as I have
searched do not Know Of any legal way.
The counsel then went on to cite 81 Illinois, p.
IS, in furth er support Of lis position in regard
to corporate authority. On page 80 OF tho same
volume the counsel said corporate authorities
were defined to be ''those municipal officers who
Were either directly elected to be taxed or ap-
pointed in some mode in which they have given
their assent" To the same effect were the de-
cision in 81 Illinois, 130, and 81 Illinois. l44-
On the ether hand, the Town Board is only au-
thorized to examine aud audit and make certi6-
Gates OF Claims (Secs. and + p. 1.03l, Of Hurd's
Statutes). Moreover, the tax assessment for old
claims would be illegal as made on cIaims for
which there has no: been any certidcation made,
as the Town Board has not certified to all claims.
The Court said that the piuch in the case was
whether the s33, 600 was y part Of the $4,000
assessed BY the Town Board. But it was not il
legal for the County Board to allow part Of the

what an italian Brigand's Head is
worth.

In the northern provinces and in Sioi-
ly brigandage is as lourishing as in the
olden times the police are either partisans
of malefaetors or are impotent against
their organized forces, and the poor 6n6
it their interest to protect the brigands
who never molest them and frighten
away the proprietors and farmers from
inspecting too closely their crops and
stables. Rarely is a murderer or brigand
captured. Fortyf FIVE escaped from Ca
senga last month, and the riRgleaders
are still at large. Botta, the chief Of po-
lice at Parma; Fiana, mayor Of OrViete;
the inspector of the macinato in Sardinia
have been assassinated,a and assassins are
undiscovered. The government sends the
military, who find themselves isolated in
the midst of a hostile or timid popula.

civil functionaries. A large reward has

a pernieious.looking collector, as he en-

the character of hard customer.
Yes, sir, very fine day, indeed, was
the reply.
IL am not speaking of the weather,

"Confound the rain" continued the
collector, and, raising his voice, added,
