to share her triumphs with Scalchi in
her palmlest days, is as rarely b ard
as Is Scalchi. because the contraltO has
been in constant demand in every opera

CELEBRATED
TAX CASE.
TContiuued from first page.1

used the words existing debit in that
sense, because such debts would
presumably be already provided for by
an obligation or obligations protected
by sinking fund. Such debt would
be already funded debt. We there
such debts as were not deots in the
sense of the said articles of the con-
stitution. 1t does not appear that the
issue was for the purpose of applying
the proceeds to the then current and
accruing expense of the city, but the
purpose rather appears to have been
the settlement of al outstanding in
debtedness in arrears for past ex-
penses. AT least there is nothing to in
dictate the contrary.
THE court then holds that Art. 986 j.
of the Revised Statutes relating to cit
les and towns does not apply to Ell Paso
which is acting under special char
ter.
The 21st assignment of error attacks
the Judgment SO far as it allows the
recovery of a tax based on the issue of
$4,000 of the artesian water bonds Of
the city. The facts relating to this
subject ar as follows: The city be-
came authorized to issue such bonds
been invested for the sinking fund of
the aforesaid Ell i'aso sewer bonds. It
does n t appear that the sum thus OBJ
tanned from the :sswer bond sinking
fund was resOrted to in bad faith or
misapplied. if indeed such conduct
would have invalidated the tranaction.
Sec. 90 of the charter of Ell Paso of
1896 made it the duty of the comptroll-
er to see that the sinking fund of the
bonds of the city is invested in good
interest bearing securities. This in
effect makes it pr: marily the duty of
the city TO do SO There is no pretense
that the bonds of the city of Ell Paso
were rot good securities. Under the
facts before US the transaction was q
sale and issuance of the bonds and we
Worth, q S. w 739.
THE court holds the 22nd, 23rd and
24sh assignments are not well taken,
aud that the omission of the dollar
sign before the figures was not suf-
fhcient to make the rolls irregular, aud
that the primary meaning of the
figures would be dollars.
The 33rd, 34th and 35th assignments
refer to the addition of interest to the
taxes of each year after becoming due
There Is nothing in the city's charter,
nor in the statutes, which we have
found that allows interest previous to
the act of 1885
The judgment will be reformed 80
as to exclude recovery of all taxes
levied in reference to public schools,
and school bonds and sower bonds. and
interest on taxes prior t } those of 1895,
and otherwise affirmed.

THE HERRMANNS LAST NIGHT.
1t Was Trip to Wonderland to Those
Who We're Present.

VuO were 1ftScuC.
Leon Hermann and Madam Herr
| mann held the boards at the opera
house last night in one of the most
ments ever Witnessed on the Ell PasC
stage. Those present were surprised
to see that Leon, the nephew, was
equal to Alexander, the uncle, in his
tricks of legerdemain. The ease with
which he makes illusions in the glaz-
ing electric light is a wonder and
mystery. Ths Asiatic Trunk Mystery
and the Arrests Dream were boto
beautiful and wonderful and show ed
tn at the Hermann company were no;
making bold assertions in their
being able to perform almost super
natural tricks.
The dance of Madam Adelaide Herr
mann will compare favorably with tbs
of the famous Loie Fuller. Her frs
dance representing might was q
great surprise to the audieoce in it's
splendor and graceful movements,
while the Vesuvious dance was a
complete repreSen tatiOn of q flame of
fire playing about the form of beauti-
full woman.
The Rays of the Sun Dance was as
mystifying as pretty, and brought
down applause after applause The
last dance was the Lily of the Orient,
and in this Madam Hermann appear
ed on the stage draped in fifty yards of
the finest silk made aud she handled
all this fine material in such an ele-
CANT and graceful style that she form
ed many beautiful pictures and finish
ed up the dance by forming lily COM
plete in detail. She was repeteadly
encor I'd, but only dained to show her
self to the audience after the last act.
The performance in every respect was
satisfactory to the public and is of a
class that many people only have a
chance to see once in a life time.
Tonight the company will appear
again and among the mysteries will
render the "Maid in the Moon'' and
"Elixis VITAE" The latter is a master
piece which the lats Herrmap, the
Great, was working to perfect at the
time of his de Ath.
The music rendered by the orchestra
last night was very nice and pleasib e
to the audience.

got into the company for political pur-

al of the older members expressed
their opinion very freely over such
acts and notified the company that
after the department election they
would withdraw their names from the

from all Of them is that q woman's
proper place is at the home firesida, but
sometimes she is compelled BY stern me-
cessity to become wage Garner. The
present discussion in The Daily Tele-

similar to those which appeared in The
Record about four years ago, when the
employment Of women as clerks, book
keepers and typewriters was pretty
thoroughly denounced by men who were
out Of work or whose pay was 50 small
