morist before a select audience of smart women
and offers Barrister Avory an opportunity for
proving that the English bar still has cross
examiner equal to Sir Charles Russell IN MS
best days. Neither the magistrate nor the bar
rister has as yet succeeded in making a deep
impression. Miss Robinson has shown remark
able cleverness in parrying dexterous and re-
sourceful lawyers and presence of MIND IN
fainting whenever she was closely pressed.
The testimony in the perjury case could be
subjected To a decisive test by an order for

is positively the last day on which
taxes may be paid without being sub
iect to penalty, the local firms are dig
ging into their sacks and coming for

firms of the city sent in checks for
s24.5 and s22. 800. respectively. yester-
day, which helped to swell the total foT
the day to over 1000.
Up to this time there have been
comparatively few certificates Of de-
post sent in, though when the checks
which have accumulated are turned
over to the banks, there will probably
be many more. OF the taxes now due
there has been approximately $4,000
paid in coin, the remainder being in
checks. with the exception of about
$50, 900 in certificates of deposit. Ac-
cording to Mr. Holt, the taxes are
coming in very well indeed this year.
