THE COUNTY FINANCES.


Ia order to enlighten the public up
on the past and present condition of
County Finances, the Clerk of the
County Commissioners is preparing a
complete statement for publication,
which will show the total county ex-
ponses for each year since the present
system Of County Treasurer was adOp-
ted, and the amount of the levy for
each year. Until this is received we
refrain from further comment upon the
county finances, as facts viii then
speak for themselves, with accuracy.
We desire to do full and entire justice
to all-not permitting any improper
cloud to be cast upon the one side or
any undeserved gloss upon the other.
Fairness to all and credit to whom
credit is due, shall characterize any
part that we propose to take in this
matter. But we propose that our
readers shall haze the facts IN .fuH.
Meantime We hold statement,
made out by the Clerk Of the County
Commissioners, which shows that the

PoRT MURRAY, n. j.. June This
town, which is the home Of DR.. Cox,
who i serving q term in the Easton jail
for causing the death OF Jennie Osborn
by malpractice. and who has already ap-
piled for a pardon, has big sensation.
Il is charged that Miss Laura Winters
has been visiting DR.. Cox at the Jail.
The story was thoroughly circulated,
and Laura was watched.
When she alighted at Port Murray from
a train from Easton she started down q
road to her home. Just as she wasabout to
pass Fosker's stable she was greeted
with a shower of decayed eggs thrown
by a dozen men who were attired in
"black cap" costume. The eggs were
crushed on her back and head, COM
pletely running her hat and dress. Miss
Winters made a pass at one of her as
sailants with a parasol, but her aim was
poor, she missed him, and then fell
Judging from the number of shells at
least four or five dozen must have been
used. Miss Winters brother says the as
sault was iilstigated by relatives Of DR..
Cox TO get revenge upon Laura for her
alleged visiting to the prison and pass
ing herself as his daughter. Laura is
charged with having caused domestic
troubles in the doctors family. Her
assailants slipped away after they had
used all their ammunition as quietly as
they came, and left no trace of their
tran Deniu.

A FcwLIincs to-anIgnorant'Tax-Payer'
ANNAPOLIS MAY, 81, '89.


Editor Of Eveniag Capital:
AS the person writing under the
sobriquet of Taxpayer has dis.
played such gross and inexcusable
ignorance of the affairs of his coun-
ty, as not to know that the County
Treasurer has nothing, whatever, to
do with the issuing of the county's
Certificates Of Indebtedness; although
have made it the rule, to never notice
anonymous communications, when
the party making a personal attack,
has not the manhood to sign his
name; yet, in this instance, on ac-
count Of the utter ignorance shown,
/ have, for the first time, departed
from the rule. The Treasurer has
nothing, at all, to do with the coun-
tvs Indebtedness, except to collect
the money levied for its payment
and to disburse the same. The
County Commissioners, have the
ONLY record of the county's in
debtedness and they not only issue
all Certificates and Orders, but also
retain the Stubs, belonging thereto.
In the. absence of other data, ] based
my belief Of the Indebtedness of the
county, ENTIRELY upon the state
ment made to the legislature, by
the "present Board Of County Com
missioners," as also my advocacy
Of the propriety of bonding the
debt. / again furnish this great
unknown, the above information,
but cannot be expected to furnish
him The brains, to enable him to I'M

If this is done in the dark, each time that
the brush is withdrawn from the chimney
bright electric spark will be seen to spring
from one piece'of tin foil to the other, Many
other experiments If this Kind can be tried
with this simple apparatus. For example, it
may be shown that poor conductors can be
electrified by rubbing; further, that good
conductors can carry the electricity from an
electrified body to one which has not been
charged with electricity, and finally the
power Of bodies charged with the same kind
of electricity to repel each other can be illus
trated in the following manner:
Bind a wooden thread Tor, better still, an
iron or brass wir@ over the tin foil ring, aud
on the end Of this hang little strips Of thin
paper. If the interi II of the chimney is now
rubbed, the silk cred brush being intro
duced at the opposite side to that in which it
was formerly placed, the ring Of tin foil is
charged with electricity, which is conducted
by the thread Tor wire) TO the strips of paper,
which fly apart. AS IN all such experiments.
the loss of elect lefty through dampness must
be avoided, TINS can be done 10y thoroughly
drying the brush, the silk and the chimney at
the fire before trying the experiment.

An ingenious method, devised by Mr.. John
Aitken for counting the dust particles in the
atmosphere, is described as follows by Popu-
lar Science News:
1t was found that, whom the moisture is con
dens"d in a rarelied atmosphere, each rain
drop has du,y particle for its nucleus, 50

air into an exhausted receiver, by means OF
pure air, and counting the number OF de-
posted drops, it j., easy to calculate the mum
Der Of dust particles in a given volume of tho
impure air. The counting is managed by
having the silver plate in the receiver divided
into millmeter squares, so that it is only
necessary to count the drops on one square
millimeter Mr.. Aiken showed that the air
Of a hall contained 4O0,Q00, 900 PARTICLES to the

The custom of cooking quickly is in part a
matter of choice, and in part due to the ne
ccssity TO which great many working peO-
pie are subject TO cook their meals quickly
or else to 20 without hot breakfasts and din
ners.
Another great obstruction to improve
ment in the art of cooking is the almost uni
versal msconceptlon that the finer cuts of
nSaU are more nutritious than the coarser
portions, coupled with an almost universal
prejudice among working people against
stewed food. This prejudice is doubtless due
to the tasteless quality Of boiled meat; boil
ing toughcns each of the fine fbers, and de
prives the meat almost wholly Of its distinc-
tive flavor.
All these blunders and misconceptions must
evidently be removed before any true art of
cooking can become common practice.
The more necessary, however, does it be
come to invent apparatus in which meat can
only be simmered and cannot boil, as in the
Aladdin cooker, and also TO invent a stove
or oven in which neither meat nor bread can
be overlooked dried up, or rendered indi-
gestible by too much heat, as in the Aladdin
oven.
Next, people must be persuaded that a bet
ter and more nutritious breakfast can be
made ready TO eat, as soon as the family are
out OF bed, by putting meat stews, oatmeal,
brown bread, and many kinds of puddings,
into the cooker, and simmering all night by
the use of a single safe lamp, than in any
other way.-Edward Atkinson, LII. D., in
Popular Science Monthly.

MYTHS Concerning WOMAN.

Woman's first appearance has been a fruit
full subject for the legend mongers. The Phoe-
nician myth of creation is found in the story
of Pygmalion and Gaatea. There the first
woman was carved by tho first man out of
ivory and then endowed with life by Aphro-
dite The Greek theory of the creation of
woman. according TO Hesiod was that Zeus,
as a cruel jest, ordered Vulcan TO make wo-
man out Of clay, and then induced the vari-
Gus gods and goddesse5 TO invest tine clay doll
with all their WORST qualities, the result being
a lovely thing, with a witchery Of men, re-
fined craft, eager passion love of dress, treach-
erous manners and shameless mind. The Scan
diINyia say that as Odin, Viii and We, the
three sons OF Bor, were walking along the sea
beach they found two sticks OF wood, one OF
ASH and one of elm. Sitting down the god.
shaped man and woman out of these sticks
whiting the woman from the elm and call
ing her Emia.
One Of the strangest of stories touching the
origin of woman is told by the Madagascar
enes In 50 far as tho creation of man goes
the legend is not unlike that related by Moses
only that the fall came before Eve arrived
After the man had eaten the forbidden fruit
he became afflicted with boil on the leg ou

girl. Inc man 5 ursu thOugnI was 10 throw

voice from heaven TO let her play among tn,
diggings until she was of marriageable age
then to make her his wife. lie did SO, called
her Barboura, and she became the mother o
ell races of men. The American Indian myth
relative TO Adam and Eve are numerous ant

Whenever there's % public movement for
the amcli0rutiDn of tho condition Of clerks
in large stores by better regulation of their
working hoCrs there's always u great deal
said about the exactions of women shoppers,
and an appeal in behalf of the clerks is made
to the women, rs if they were principally re-
sponsible Tor the hardships of the salesmen's
and saleswomen's lives. Now, that's all big
mistake It's not the women who make the
stores keep open late, and oppose the grant
ing of half holidays. It's the men. Women
are very regular in their snoppins. They buy
by advertisement, and if a store announces
the day before that it is going to be closed at
a certain time you won't find Il crowd of
women coming around and grumbling be-
cause they can't get in. They'll lay their
plans, and buy either before tho place closes
or the next day, when it is opened again
But the man, when he wants something,
rushes of to buy it right away, whether it's
midnight Saturday or noon Sunday If he
finds his favorite store closed he grumbles
and goes somewhere else. just watch any
store Saturday night, and see how many men
come in to one woman. If the men would
only do little thinking for the clerks, the
employees in stores would have an easier time.
They are well enough satisfied with the treat
ment they receive from the women. Inter
