Back Taxes Collected.

Tuesday there was paid into the
State Treasury through the office
Of the Attorney-General $1,000
back taxes on the Hygeia Hotel.
This is the first money received by
Virginia for taxes on property on
the Government reservation at Old
Point, and is the result of a fight
made by the Attorney-General to
sustain the law that public proper
ty on such reservation was liable to
taxation. He gained the case, and
the $4,000 represents the amount,
less interest due from 1875. Col
lections Of taxes prior to that time
were barred by the statute of imi-
tation. Hereafter public property
on the reservation will continue to
pay state and county taxes.-Rich-
mond Dispatch.

Secretary Hoke Smith, Of the De-
partment of the Interior.
The man is reputed to be Of
sound mind, but in the light of his
infamous scheme his reputation on
that point is likely to need investi-
cation.

enraged at Secretary Smiths en-
deavor to make the pention lists
rolls of honor. He says it is an at
tempt to starve old soldiers, and
that the only way to stop it is to
assassinate the President and Sec
rotary.
The attorney is not a Pittsburg-
er, it is said, although his identity
is kept secret for the present.
The entire matter has been re-
ported to Washington and will be
Investigated by the authorities.
The foolish attorney has made
himself liable to charges of melting
to treasOn.-State.

An Irishman went to a lawy err
with a case, but the attorney want
ed retainer. The Irishman was
poor, and finally the lawyer said he
would take the case ON a contin-
gent fee. It was settled, but the
contingent fee part Of the agree
ment bothered the client. He con-
fided his Ignorance to his friend
Paddy and asked for an explanation.
"An' it is the meaning of contin-
gent fee yer after KNOWN? Sure
I'll tell We. A contingent fee
means that if We lose the case the
lawyer gets nothin'; if ye win, you
get nothin'."
