Blackm1ii Paris.


Paris has hundreds Of men and women
who live in ease and even splendor by
extorting money from people In high
places, who have some dark and guilty
chapter of their lives that needs con-
cealment. This form of blackmail be-
came so prevalent in England that the
penalty on conviction was made impris-
onment for life. In France, vast sums
of money are still paid blackmailers.

GUS Scotch nobleman, who had squander

Gently sought to repair his broken for
tunes by forming a matrimonial alliance
with an heiress. and for this purpose

of her great social prestige by the fact
being thoroughly well understood that she

The Scotch peer, having told this lady
what he was I'm search of, the question

and agreed to. the desired heiress was

That the dowry was very considerable
was beyond question, and that the young
lady herself was most charming was
another agreeable fact. so that no Gues-
tions were asked at first as TO the source
OF the girls fortune, but at last a very
shocking discovery was made. which at
once put a stop to the projected union,
for It transpired that the girls father,

The Dime n a TIP.

Few feel more the prevailing tendency
not to shell out cash IN a Coai-OH Johnny

hotels and restaurants, but they do not
get much pity. why the average wait
or in such establishments should look
with scorn and disdain upon dime is
hard to determine 1t is more than
Sl00 can earn in a day I'm the best posi-
BILE investment, and no good reason ex-
lists why the waiter should get anything,
as fully ten per cent. additional is charg-
ed In such establishments for the service.
The trouble mostly grows out Of the
passing reign of wild extravaganza. I'm
which fools who have squandered their
money, and few can afford il along with

one that a quarter given at every meal

money, and few can afford II along with
all other expenses For instance there

THE cIrY,s FINANCIAL CONDITION.

There have been recently made so many
dark hints and insinuatlons that the citys
finances are in bad shape, and that
there is great danger OF an increase of
taxes, that we have thought it proper
TO so to the records and get an exact
and authentic statement of the case
which we now lay before the public.
The city's revenue for the last year was
s1.372, 375. The Auditor estimates that it
will be this year Sl.S76, O2S.11. The revenue
last year was sufficient for the city's
current needs, so that if we confine ex-
penses 10 what they have been, and
make no more increases Of salaries, the
revenue will be ample for the city's
needs. The floating debt, of which the
baby bonds that we hear so much about,
are a part is large, but there is no
sort of occasion for concern about II.
II consists Of $4,000 bills payable, and
$4,000 baby bonds-SlG5OO 900 in all. This
comes about thus: 1t has long been the
case that we have brought over from
our fiscal year a considerable floating
debt from the preceding one. We
brought over on February 1, 1898. from
the preceding year a floating debt of
SIC, 1853. During the depression of the
past six months the city was frequently
unable 10 get money for current needs.
and the baby bonds were sold to meet
their needs. What was brought over from
last year and the baby bonds, make up
most of the floating debt. But the city
used a considerable sum from her cur
rent revenues and from the sale of the
baby bonds, to make payments on ac-
count Of the City Hall, which payments
should have been made out OF the sale
OF bonds authorized 10 be sold, but
which could not be sold during the
panic But some of these bonds have
already been sold since business began
TO look up, and all the others authorized,
will probably be sold in a short time.
The amount thus advanced TO the city
Hall fund is Sl72, 6i906. When this sum
is returned TO the city and credited on
the floating debt, II Will be reduced 10
s2s2, 355.9i But considerable part OF
this is what has been advanced by the
city TO the various departments against
taxes due. but yet to come in, so that
when this fund gets what 1t is Untitled
TO, II will be less than what we brought
over from last year.
Our situation is. therefore. in no re-
spect worse than 1t was one year ago.
