AS no TAXES AND SUCH THINGS.

We print the following opinion
by District Attorney Gortner be-
cause it touches upon a matter of /
interest to all owners of personal
property and also gives further in
formation concerning a subject
briefly referred to in these columns
some weeks since. It will be seen
that Mr.. Gortner has brought to
The task of writing the opinion his
well known legal abilities and in
his energetic way has handled it so
that all who read may understand.
The legality of the statutes will
doubtless be tested in the near fu-
lture, for the benefit of all parties
concerned.
Sauta Fe, New Mexico, July 10,
Iooo.-Hon. c. II. McHenry,
Treasurer, Aztec, N. M.-Dear Sir.
Answering your favor in re San
Juan Times, beg to return to you
herewith the four property returns
which you handed me for my infor.
nation in the matter. You ask the
following questions:
The property is now in the pos
session Cf innocent purchasers.
! Does the property stand good for
the back taxes2 The former own
ers are no good and gone
] am not aware Of any decision
of our court upon the proposition
made by you, and think it highly
important that the same should be
brought to test Sec. 4o57 Of our
Compiled Laws, as slightly amended
in 90, reads as follows, in part:
Every tax levied according to
the provisions of this act shall have
the force and effect of a judgment
against the person assessed
and the taxes properly and lawfully
assessed due from any person upon
personal property shall not be salts
fed nor the lien removed until the
taxes are paid or the property sold
for the payment thereof. The tax
list and warrants hereinbefore pro-
vided for shall have the force aud
effect Of an execution against the
person or property assessed. "
/ think it our duty to construe
this law in favor of the county and
territory until we shail.be defeated
Ia that construction. In fact,
believe the court will sustain us in
constituting that section to fix the
lien upon the property from the
time of the tax roll warrant up to
the payment of the tax there
fore advise you to proceed to dis
traint and sale Of property in this
situation for the satisfaction of the
tax.
In pursuance Of this advice,

TENT sin.

Tien-tsin is really two cities-the
native walled city and the foreign
quarter outside the walls.
It's Chinese population is over ESQ.,
600. and by its position on the Peiho
river it has a great commerce and is
the key to Picking.
About 10000 Chinese troops and
boxers hold the walled city or positions
OF vantage in the environs.
Cannon placed on the walls have con-
tinuously bombarded the foreign quar-
ter since July 5, destroying many build
ings.
Up to July II about 10000 allies I'M
der Vice Admiral Seymour held the
foreign quarter, but their lines had
been steadily pushed back by the
Chinese.
On the 18th the Ninth United States
irfantry, 400 strong, and a force of
Russians and japanese reached Tien-
Tsin, bringing up the allied force to
10000 men.
on the 18th 1000 allies attacked the
walled city in order to destroy the guns
and drive out the Chinese.
The Chinese under General Nah and
General Mich had many rapid-fre
guns and repulsed the allies.
Failure to carry the walled cities
will necessitate the retreat of the al.
lies to Taku and lead tosthe rousing of
all China in triumph, and probably to
outbreaks all over the country.
All women and children and male
noncombatants have been sent from
fen-Tsin for safety. They numbered
about 1850 persons.

vers received one morning. when he
saw Violet coming from the Hill farm.
He often went to the Hill farm now,
for Miss Anterior had caught violent
cold, which had caused her to relax
her vigilance and send her beautiful
niece out in her stead-not for long
rambles for her own pleasure. that
was plainly understood; but IL was
necessary for her to go to Warwick
once or twice in the week. and also TO
the Hill Farm on little matters of bus
mess; and though IL struck Miss Ath.
erton more than once that her niece
was long time absent, she never
dreamed of the cause.
Lord RIVERS had made himself quite
at home at the Hin Farm; the farmer
his buxom wife knew him as a young
artist who admired the quiet sylvan
scenery of the neighborhood. Miss
Beaton's name never passed his lips;

ing $1,000 for a thousand cigars.
There is nothing peculiar about these
high-priced cigars except, perhaps, in
the fancy packing and the extremely
careful selection. To the taste of the
ordinary smoker they are no better
than a good twenty-fve-cent cigar.
Terrell, the sugar magnate, has paid as
high as $1,000 for a thousand cigars.
The importers who make a speciality
of handling the finest cigars in the
market find the clubs their best Gus
toners. and the brands that sell very
extensively are those costing all the
way from 5000 to $500 a thousand.
The man-of-leisure who enjoys a
quiet smoke IN his own home, far
away from business and club associ-
ations, generally manages to surround
himself with accessories that add TO
the luxury of these after-dinner occa-
sions. There is one New Yorker who
has had a bear set up as a dumb-wait-
er. carrying in one hand, or rather
paw, an electric lamp with frosted
globe. and in the other a tray with a
couple of boxes of cigars and some pa
per pipe-lights in liquor glass.
An Englishman, now living in New
York, has had the foot of q big ele-
plant fashioned into a cigar and liquor
stand, so that it may be placed on the
table in the midst of a group in remin-
iscent mood. Nimrods who may, per
chance. be fighting their battles over

Smoking Away Fortunes.
Unique Designs That Go to Make Up a
Connoisseur's Room.

The men who know a good cigar
when they smoke it, have not been de-
TERED by the increase in the price of
tobacco from reyeling in their favorite
perfectos. And to the everyday
smoker, that is. the man who smokes
two or three cigars for quarter, or he
who reyels in nickel smoke, or even
he who finds his ideal in a Pittsburg
stogy, the prices paid by the real con.
noisseur are, of course, astonishing.
There is newspaper proprietor in
New York who will pay almost any
price for perfect. mild cigar. In
fact, at one time he had a thousand
cigars specially selected for him in
Havana, and willingly paid $500 for the
lot. An eighty-cent after-dinner
smoke is the usual thing with him.
Former Senator Brice was another
connoisseur, and he went the newspa.

Neither the penniless duke of Man
chester nor the rich and beautiful Miss
Helena Zimmerman of Cincinnati, will
discuss the reported engagement of
marriage between them Their silence
is generally taken to give assent to the
story. Miss Zimmerman, who is the
daughter of Eugene Zimmerman of
Cincinnati is worth 100000, and it
is expected that she will eventually in
herit eight or ten millions more from
the estate of her father Mr.. thinner

that Mr.. tombstone came to plead his

PADDING 5000 Miles.

Somewhere down along the Atlantic
coast is a big birch bark canoe. 1t is
occupied and padded by two Indian
chiefs. The leader is old Big Thunder
head chief of the Penobscot tribe, who
owns Old Town Island in Maine. Big
Thunder is nearly so years old, but he
is still a giant in stature and in
strength. Early this srping the old
chief made up his mind that before he
died he would like to visit the Great
White Father at his big wigwam in
Washington. Accordingly, a huge
birch canoe was built for the trip, and
several weeks ago Big Thunder, whose
other name is Frank Loring, and a
minor chief, Peter Nicola, started down
the Penobscot river to the sea, From
the mouth of the river they intend to
paddle down the coast to the Potomac
and thence up to Washington. The
trip they have undertaken is trifle
over 5000 miles long, and they intend
to take their time about it. The canoe
has already been sold to a man in
Washington, who will pay the Indians
81 900 for it, with the idea of present
ing it to the Smithsonian Institution
The two Indians will live on the fish
they may be able to catch on the way,
and both expect to pay their respects

fatal tree
If any one enters the doctors smok-
ing-room he will be startled to find
peering from over the mirror there a
hideous skull. while two fieshless
hands clasp candlesticks on either
side. The natural loathsomeness of
these relics of mortality is. however,
greatly dispeled by the fact that the
skull wears a Turkish fez perched
rakishly over it's forehead. while a
cigarette is thrust between the lank
digits of one hand. The skull is that
