TAXES, AND HOW TO
PAY WITHOUT LOSS
Richmond People Have From
Now to February to Save
Severe Penalties

II tAere is ans one thing that people
DO not or Will nor understand. il is taxa
ton. How To- Pay taxes seems To be- the
one uins above all others that people do
not try to learn. Ii is q very sifnple
thing when once one comes 10 understand
il.
SO far as the taxes due TO the city OF
richmond are concerned, the facts and
the law are very plain. All taxes are
due IN the month ot June and should
by law be- paid between the 18th and
3Oth of that month. Those for last wear
are. therefore. long past due. The city,
however. by special enactment. has pro-
vided That II one-hah tho taxes due in
June axe paid promptly when due. the
taxpayer may have until December fol
lowing 10 pay the other half without
having 60 pay the o per cent. penalty.
but Al nothing is paid in June the . per
cent penalty attaches 10 the whole bill.
and this penalty must be added after
the LIST day Of July. II parties pay the
hrst half in June and do NOT pay the
last half IN December, then the per
cent penalty must be added to the last
half on the LIST day Of January
All tax bills remain in the hands OF
the collector until the last day OF jan
uary and they may be paid u him
on that day OF before On the first day
of February all unpaid tax bills are de-
clared by law to be delinquent. and they
are :" BE nandeI over 10 the collector
of delinquent taxes and then not only
the five per cent penalty. but six per
cent. interest attaches. Paving bills, pipe
connection bills. sewer connection bills
and grading bills are In this connection
classed as regular tax bills. and have
to 90 through the very same mill These
bills, however. do not carry the five
per cent. penalty until the last day OF
January II IS astonishing the number
of these bills that Collector Cunningharn
has in hand and he must turn them all
over 10 the delinquent collector with the
five per cent penalty added on the last
day OF this month II they are not paid
10 him before that time

PERSIAN SHAH DEAD
MUZAFFAR-ED-DIN FINALLY PAssA
 ES AWAY.
News Had Been Suppressed By The Grand VizIer But Was Finally Announced From the
 Court.

London, Jan. 9.-A despatch to a news agency from Paris says a tele- gram received there from Teheran de- cIares that the news of the death of the Shah of Persia has been officially con- firmed by the grand vizier.
 Muzaffar- ed- Din was born at Tehe- ran, March 24, 1853, and succeeded his father, Nasr- ed Din, on the death of the latter on May 1, 1896. Muzaffar- ed-Din was the second son of Nasr-ed- Din, but was appointed heir to the throne.
 Nasr-ed- Din was assassinated May 1, 1896, in the Mosque of Abdul Asim, near Teheran, and while Muzaffar-ed- Din ascended to the throne. the same day, it was not until June 8, 1896. that he was formally invested with sover- eign power. The reports of his i'll health have been circulated from time to time.
 In August last as the result of long continued agitation in Persia. and many disturbances of a serious na- ture. the Shah granted a constitution to Persia, with a National Assembly, and other reforms
 The late Shah leaves many children and will be succeeded by his eldest son. Mohammed Ali Mirza. who was born in 1872 and who is now in Teheran.
 The recent disorganized condition or the country was largely due to the fact that the shah was unable to attend to state business. His successor Is in the prime of life, and throughout his povernorship of Anerbaijan. he has shown marked energy and ability. He receiyed an excellent education both Persian and European.
