1t is an interesting subject OF en-
quiry just now to ascertain what
has become Of the money that has
been collected for back taxes all
these years and for which no &C
count has been rendered to the
city? Has there been a little pri-
vate monkeying with public
monies at public expense? 1t has
that appearance, also that the
thousands Of delinquent taxes that
are charged to the city's credit do
not properly belong there. This is
another conundrum OF the same
nature as Dundresry's. What
does puzzle however, is that it has
taken the tax collecting experts 81
long to find out that the taxes en-
tered up as delinquent have so
many Of them actually been paid
into the city treasury. 1t seems
now that a different brand of col.
lector is after those delinquent
taxes and the facts are coming to
the surface. 1t is high time that
San Antonio knew what her assets
in back taxes were as we'll as in
other things; also, that her budget
was arranged in accord with her
income and that she was put upon
practically a cash paying basis.
Wisdom and honesty demand this.

And the Man Who Had Been Pumping

W. A. Gilbert, the gunsmith, and a
party of friends have just returned from
hunting and fishing cruise in Nassau
sound in the yacht Fannie, and Mr.. Gil
bert has good reason to congratulate
himself that he is not sleeping the last
sleep in the stomach of a monster gator.
The gator was found one morning
doing on the placid bosom of the sound,
only his nose and part of his head pro-
truding. Mr.. Gilbert drew a bead on
him. Crack went the gun and the
gator half leaped out of the water.
Then he churned it into bloody foam.
Mr.. Gilbert hurried up to the gator
and pumped eight more bullets into him.
Then the silurian lay still and Mr.. Gil
bert concluded that he was dead.
Not caring to lose so fine trophy. he
pulled off his clothes and swan to the
gator to tie rope to his tail. He had
adjusted the rope nicely. when suddenly,
to Mr.. Gllbert's surprise and horror the
gator wheeled around, with his mouth
vide open and made for his would be

Mr. Gilbert, with remarkable presence
of mind, dived. When he rose to the
surface the gator spied him again and
on he came at a clipping pace. Mr.. Gil

thing was repeated. At last Mr.. Gill

winded, and his hair in spite of the

An tntellivent Snake.

The season for snake stories is rather
late, but this, from the Sheridan (Wyo)
Enterprise, is entitled to fair considera,
ton: Several times has the door OF
Andy Eads' residence been opened in
an unaccountable manner, and the fam
lily were almost inclined to believe that
they were visited by. 'spooks,'' or some
other mysterious thing. A few days
ago, however, the cause was discovered
and the mystery solved. A large bull
snake had crawled on the doorstep and
up the side of the frame, and with al
most human intelligence had pressed
down the latch so that the door would
open. He was caught in the very act,
and since the detection had been seen
to do the same thing two or three times
more Mr.. Thurmond is contemplating
catching his snakeship and bringing him
down and training him to open the door
when a visitor calls.

FRENCH AND ENGLISH ETIQUETTE.

There is a Vast Difference Between the
Two Countries.
There is as much difference between
the English and the French as there
is between the English and Japanese
even more between the English and the
Bretons. Blancmange as a term for
a "cornf1oWer shape" and encore a sign
that you wish for more of an eXecrably
sung song are unknown to the French,
and IN certain other matters the English
and French are Numerically opposed
For instance, while an Englishman ac-
cuses another of taking French leave,
one t'renchman says of another, "Il sen
va FAnglais." When an Englishman
walks with a lady in the street he gives
her the inside of the pavement next to
the wall; the Frenchman gives her the
outside, next to the gutter. The walls
IN France have more disagreeables for
a lady's skirt than in England. In Eng
land one carriage passes another on the
left. In France on the right. In Eng
land hostess at a dinner party is the
last to go into the dining room; in France
she leads the way. In England, when
lady meets gentleman who does not
know her well, it is her place to bow
first, not his to take off his hat. In
france the reverse is etiquette. In
France it is not the resident who calls
on the visitor but the visitor who calls
on the resident, more especially if the
resident should be French and the Wis
ltor English. In Havre even the Eng
lish newcomers call on the French resi-
dents, and Havre is very fashionable
just now, as the President of the repub-
lie has his summer home there. In
France the vicar or rector of a parish
is called a cure. and the curates are
called yicaireS-PhiladelD Times

MODERN PIRATES.
They Infest the Coasts of the Northern ISL
ands in the Guise Of Fish ermen.

andS in the Guise of Fishermen.
The investigation ordered by the Do
minion government into the charges of
piracy against the fishermen of the lower
part Of the Gulf of st. Lawrence and the
Straits of Belle Isle has been concluded,
and bears out all the complaints of the
master of the steamship Mexico and the
stories told by many survivors of wrecks
upon the costs of Articosti, Labrador
Belle Isle, Sable island, the islands of
the Magdalen group or Newfoundland.
The fishermen of the Belle Isle coast
in particular, are shown by the result of
this inquiry to be a gang of pirates.
Sometimes there is a shadow of excuse
for these highWaymen of the sea in
helping themselves from provisions from
ship that is going to pieces, and had
the marauders in the case of the Mexico
contented themselves with looting the
ships stores and such of her cargo as
consisted of provisions, they could not,
according to the result of the investiga-
ton, have been SO severely blamed. But
ter, cheese and bacon are delicacies
which the Labrador fishermen know only
by name.
Among the best of them, the wreck of
such vessel in their neighbOrhood is
looked upon as veritable gift of the
god of the sea. Nor is the approximation
of such good things as the waves bring
to them regarded in the light of theft or

stranded upon the surf-beaten shores
survive the onslaught of the first gale,
SO that, in any event, ship and cargo
become a total loss.
In the case of the Mexico, however,
there was not redeeming feature in the
conduct of the pirates. They not only
declined to aid the captain to save any
thing from the wreck when it could have
been saved, refusing for love or money
to engage themselves for the purpose,
but overawed the crew by the over
whelming numbers in which they
swarmed about the ship, and notified the
captain that they were working for
themselves and that whatever they
saved would be their own property.
Then they looted the belongings of the
captain and crew before their eyes. and,
not content with carrying off the cargo,
plundered the vessel of everything they
could carry away. They stripped off her
sails, marched off the nautical instru-
ments, and. worse than all, set fire to
the wreck for the purpose of gaining ac-
cess to the more valuable cargo in the
lower hold.
The locality in which the wreck oc-

Rich Harvest for Fishers.

The most bountiful and valuable har-
vest likely to be gathered in this section
was that gathered from the waters of TIE
Columbia river. 1t is estimated that the
amount received by the fishermen from
the Gamers for salmon this season was
nearly 100000. The latest and most
careful estimate places the salmon pack
of the Columbia river this season as
500. 1000 cases. of 4S pounds each. To
make a case of canned Ash requires on an
average 70 pounds of salmon as it comes
from the water. The 505.00O cases OF
canned fish represent 35,350,00O pounds
of undressed fish, which, at cents per
pound, the price paid the fishermen,
amounts to S1.767. 500. Just what the
value of the pack is cannot yet be known,
