CITY FINANCES.
Good Official Showing Made In Recorder Judah's
SemI. Ahnnal Statement.

1NmiTNhheaA
The statement made TO the city coun-
Gil Monday evening by City Recorder
Judah shows that the financial condition
Of the city is what might be called
easy"
The estimate Of revenue and expenses
for 1900, made before the first OF the
year, seems to have been a very correct
forecast, though indications now are
that there will be a greater surplus for
the reduction Of the warrant indebted
ness than the city fathers were figuring
on.
The statement is as follows:
Estimated revenue, 1900 go. $27 600 90

taxes, and 5000 Is from

II will no observed that there is a
deficit for the first six months Of about

fact that OF the SIS, 900 receivable on
taxes only ~t3,423.42 has been
turned in. On the other hand, while
receipts Of 5000 were expected from
licenses, fines, :iees, rents, ttc., $3.50
has been received for the first six
months, nearly as much as was reckoned
for the year.
For the next six months si,026 is esti.
mated to come in from fines, fees,
licenses, etc, and it is likely that this
sum will be exceeded by several hundred
dollars, as the recorder has not included
the revenue expected from some Of the
new ordinances.

RAMBLES OF THE RAMBLER
BREEZY NEWS, VIEWS AND
COMMENTS
What He Sees and Hears While
Roaming toe Streets.

The show windows of the city
are putting on their E aster at
tire, and as the r amber toiters
b4fore their bewildering attrae-
lions be catches many longing
glauces-at the things in the
windows-not at US, from pass
ing fair ones.
But yesterday afternoon, in
the glorious SUNSHINE, coming
from school, there paused upon
the pavement to look at the gay
furnishings in one of the show
windows a young g%irl-jus5
about that age of which Tenny-
son speaks so sweetly when
he says, ''Standing with reluctant
feet" etc. She was, perhaps,
fifteen. On the back of her head
she wore a Tam O'Shanter rogu-
ishly. Her neatly fitting skirt
fell 30 the top Of laced boots that
fitted perfectly her perfectly
pretty feet, which she clearly
found it impossible to keep still.
| Her hair was as half-burnished
copper, her white face bore the
flush that is found upon toe tips
of peach blossom petals. Her thin
lips were slightly parted, form
ing a little mouth made to give
forth love-sOngs through IN
counted years. She was instinct
with lovelinesss, youth, grace;
and as the gloriously golden sun
shine fell upon her she was right
radiantly beautiful. She stood
with one foot moved forward,
resting herself upon the other, a
marvel Of gracefulness. AS she
passed on her way, she carried
herself like a little queen, quite
unconscious of the superlative
charm of her own presence; and
so bright, so beautiful, SO happy
she seemed, that one almost list
ened for her to burst into song, as
a little robin might sing his heart
out in the glow Of the sunlight.
Truly a beautiful-an unconsci-
ously beautiful-young girl is the
beautifulest thing in all the
world! Although some othel
critic has said that a beautiful
woman mounted on a beautiful
horse is the most beautiful thing
on earth.
