THEIR TAXES FOR 1895.

LEDGER gives to its readers as nearly
a complete list of those who have
paid their city taxes for the year 1895
as is possible to obtain.
From the list below it will be seen
that Mexico has many heavy tax
payers, and from Collector Wallace's
statement, made to LEDGER report
or, that about 80 per cent of the tax
payers had paid up for 1895, it will
also be seen that they are not slow in
doing their duty.Th rate of taxation

cents on the 800 valuation and the
figures given opposite the names in
the following list show the total
amount paid by each one on real and
personal property combined, exclud-
ing poll tax and interest.

She was bitter in her condemnation
of the girl who had gone on the stage.
But you have no right to pass judg-

"Oh, of course, you'll stand up for
her." she retorted. THE moment a
girl goes on the stage she has a fasci-

sharply you condemn her merely
because she has taken to comic opera
without regard to the circumstances. -
What were they?"
"She was poor"
Pooh! There are lots in just as bad

"She tried to get work that she was
fitted for and failed. She had nc
friends to help her and was almost
starving. Then came an opportunity
to go on the stage"
And she jumped at it?"

nerve and brain restorer, Paine's celery
compound, does get rid of them and
leaves no chance for their return, be-

DOG JAIL DELIVERY
Someone Taps the Pound and the
CANNES Fly.
TROUBLE AMONG CATCHERS
Now the Boy With the Moose Is on
Duty with All the Alertness
of Vet After Large
Game.

A colored dog-catcher named Chicago
and John Schmidt and his dog "Schnel-
der" got mixed up in dispute last night
on West Commercial avenue. As the
dispute progressed the dog-catcher got
''Schneider's'' collar and Sshmidt got
gun, the dog-catcher turned white, but
stood his ground and was finally res
cued by thu police. who arrested
Schmidt and Confiscated his revolver.
Since this 6og-catching business be-
gan, Chief Jack White has begun TO get
gray haired. Wrinkles are gathering
on his handsome countenance, for the
worry and care tell upon his health. A
Jail full of hcboes is not half the trout
bic that is made by four dogs in the
pound. Then the dog-catchers are up
to snuff and some of them are up too
much to snuff There are now three OF
these bold champions, one of them a
colored man, another a Frenchman and
the third a boy, who is the champion
of them all. The chief has, by diplo-
macy, that If exercised in the foreign
courts would settle all of the internal
tional disputes, brought the three rivals
in business to an understanding of their
rights and privileges. and now peace
re.gns.
Chief White had only succeeded in
getting matters settled and was ready
to sleep nights when another obstacle
appeared in his path towards Kidding
the town OF canine pests. Some mis-
creant visited the pound during the
hours of darkness and turned loose 20
of the prisoners that had been con-
demned to die at daybreak.
The dog-catchers demand their fees
and the dogs are not dead, nor taxed.
A strike of the dog-catchers was i'm
minent. but arbitration brought them
to terms, and once more the lad with
a lariat is enticing dogs to mis- moose.
