LITTLE DRYING TO THE OCEAN.
Horsemen Are Not Patronizing Coney lei.
and as in Former Years.

III hS HI II 1ehTB
Observing visitors at Coney Island are i'm.
pressed with the change that has come over
arrangements there regarding carriages and
bicycles. In former years the Island was the
destination Of nearly all Brooklyn horsemen.
and thousands from New York crossed the
river to drive down the handsome boulevard.
1t was a favorite pastime to drive horses along
the oceans edge, venturingo out Just far enough
to have the waves wet the animals to their
knees and splash against the hubs of the wheels.
Those days seem to have departed. No longer
are the idlers at the beach entertained by the
pictures of happy horses padding through the
brine, and black carriages, containing women
with expressions betraying their timidity.

background of sky and water. 1t was only q

appears that at an elementary examination In
English which was lately held In q school near
New York city two sentences were given out
to be corrected by the younger scholars. The
first sentence was to be corrected. as to its sub

These were the sentences:

When the papers were handedin IL was found
that one. of the examines had apparently re.
gRrded the sentences as subtly connected in

Notice to DelInquent Taxpayers.

The 6elinqent taxes of Wasco caunty,
as shown on the rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are SEQ, 900. an amount al
most equal to the indebtedness of the
county. Every citizen will doubtless
admit that this state of affairs should
not exist, and that all taxes should be
collected. On account of hard times
in the past the county court Las shown
leniency to taxpayers. but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason a
warrant has been attached to each de-
linquent roll commanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by SEIZURE and sale of
property. With bountiful cIop now
in sight, there can no longer be any rea-
sonable excuse for the nou-payment OF
taxes. The sheriff is bound by oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the coliec-
ton thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save
the cost of seizure AMI sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.

County.

WHEN SHE DRAWS A CHECK.
The Modern Woman's Ways When
She Enters . Bank and Draws
ON Her Account.

There is nothing which shows mod
ern woman's ability to take care O.
herself more than the way she handle,
bank account, and the number o.
the sex who are acquiring the proprie-
torship of one. A person has only te
stand for few minutes in one of thu
downtown banks to have ocular dem
onstration of the change that is tax.
ing place in the complexion of fits de-
positors.
II is now the commonest thing to see
a young woman gowned in the height
OF fashion and looking as IL the thought
Of anything more serious than pink
tea or season of grand opera had
never occurred to her step up to one
OF the desks provided for the accom-
mediation OF customers, draw a check
book from her reticule. coolly and col
lectedly gather up one of those an
Client pens which have borne the
weight Of the fists of world-known
financiers and write in the most nom
chalant and accustomed manner a
check for the amount she feels she
will need.
One can easily see that it is com
plete departure from the old idea. She
does not take out a crumpled check
after an infinite deal of fumbling in
half dozen different places. She is
not bound hand and foot by any UNI
changeable sum that some almoner of
the opposite sex has grudgingly de-
cided upon. 1t is an entirely i'm
promptu affair. One may easily be
quite certain of this, for she frequent
ly bites the end OF her pencil and pats
her forehead with ii while she puts
the neatest imaginable columns of fg-
ures on the reverse side of blotter.
Y But being wholly at liberty and upon
her own resources does not worry her
in the least. She is perfectly self-pos-
sessed and peculiarly at ease in her
surroundings. The comic paper writ
er's notion OF woman's actions when
she gets in bank are shown to be
thoroughly inaccurate and complete
travesty on truth She does not go
up TO the receiving teller, bookkeeper
or president to get her checks cashed.
She does not indorse negotiable paper

MONEY AND WAR.
Efforts to Strengthen Her
Credit Abroad.

In the future conflict between Great
Britain and Russia finance will be
quite as important a factor as arma-
ments, says the National Review. The
issue will not be decided by the first
shock of arms, but by the slow, wear
ing financial strain to follow. 1t will
DE question of staying powers, and
that will be a money, even more than
military, question. In her costly
wars of recent times Russia has not
distinguished herself much financially.
She was completely worn out by two
years fighting in a small corner Of
the Crimea. Her short campaign
against the Turks in 1s77-S so dis
organized her finances that It took
SLAMS themselves are well aware OF
this vital defect in their military
power. and they have of late years
made strenuous effrots to remedy II.
To that end both their foreign policy
and their financial policy are being
studiously directed.
Assistance in strengthening Russian
credit abroad and replenishing the
treasury at home has for the last ten
years been the price of Russian friend
ship. Prince Bismarck, much as he
coveted the prize, seems to have
thought the terms demanded too high.
He would not throw open German saw
ngs to be exploited by the loan mon
gers and mortgage brokers of ST. Pc
tersburg. So little did he like these
gentry that he had Russian securities
iabooed in Berlin. and the Imperial
bank Of Germany ceased to make adj
vances on them.
