Key to Our Table of Rates.
The one month rate for space from the
Inch to one column of 18 inches is fixed so
th«t the per inch rate decreases for
llshed in th« Times yesterday it would
not b* difficult for a justloe of the
peaoe to run a bill of ootto to a vary
formidable figure and at tkt same time
keep within tbe letter of tkt law.
Hie “shyster” lawyer finds out that
some vagabond has a “spite” against
some other person and at onoe seonres
the making out, in the name of the
“state of Texas,” a complaint. A war-
rant is issued by the jastioe and planed
in the hands of his oonstable or pet
deputy. These two small actions—is;
suing the warrant and serving it—foot
up $1.50. Snbpoenas are then issued
for about a dozen witnesses, whloh add
80 cents to the fees of the jastioe and
$6.00 to those of the oonstable. The
jastioe dookets the case for 10 oents
and swears the witnesses for 10 oents
each, making another $1.30 for himself.
Of course a jury will be asked for—else
what is a “shyster” lawyer for?—whioh
adds a half dollar to the oosts for the
jastioe and a like amoant for the oon-
stable. The witnesses are allowed
$1.50 each, and after the defendant is
oonvloted all the costs are charged ap
to the oounty.x The person oonvioted
may not be able to pay his fine and
oosts, whioh now amoant to $28.60. He
proposes to make bond, whioh adds a
dollar and a half to the oosts, and
he fails. In consequenoe of this failure
he is ordered to jail, thus
allowing the jastioe to add a dollar to
the oosts for himself and another
dollar for his oonstable. The oosts
are now “$32.10.” The fine is of
oourse to be added to this, bat is pro-
bably not more than a dollar, for the
jastioe wisely concludes that if the
poor devil ever gets the oosts paid he
will have been sufficiently punished.
When he has been in jail a day or two
some friend proposes to Beonre the
oosts and the prisloner is ordered into
oonrt and his friends are there with
the money. Bat in the mean time the
committing and release of the prisoner
have added to the ooste and the friends
are surprised at the additions.
But all the oosts mentioned here are
legal, and only the law can be com-
plained at if they are a little over-
worked. But if the jastioe is not very
honest and very oarefnl there are oosts
that the law does not take oognizanoe
of. For instance: in hastily footing
up the oosts the jastioe is liable to
count in commitments when no com-
mitment had been made. And unless
the unfortunate or his lawyer looks
closely after this feature errors are not
impossible.
These oosts bills are very interesting
and fall of possibilities.
perfected. If the oounoil thinks Its
original notion the wleeet w* have
nothing to say. Bat eome of the
warmest friends of oity ownership of
water works fear the result of an elec-
tion at this time.

BETTER TIME8.
There Is no question but that times
will improve, though the public need
not expeot this improvement to oome
with a rash. Dan's Review says:
Ilie improvement observed last week
has become muoh more distinct and
general. While aotual transactions
have increased bat little, the ohange
In public feeling is noteworthy. There
are fewer failures, either of banks or
of important commercial or manufac-
turing oonoerns, than for some weeks
past. Many disasters have been avoid-
ed by a more general pooling of re-
sources and a greater spirit of mutual
helpfulness and forbearance than were
seen eome weeks ago.'

The election to determine whether or
not the oity will isane bonds for the
building of water works is beginning to
attract attention. That the people
want the oity to own and operate its
water works and thereby famish the
citizens with a bountiful supply of
good water at a reduced rate cannot be
doubted. And that the city council
has public sympathy in its desire to
secure such water supply is equally
patent
Bat in the minds of some there is a
question as to the advisability of
forcing upon the people at this time a
decision of the matter of issniDg
bonds. The Times has always favored
the bnilding and operating of water
works by tbe oity and has had no rea-
son for changing its views. Bat can
tbe procuring of such water Bnpply be
hastened by holding an election at this
time? If the oittzens were to decide
by vote on the 12th of this month that
bonds shall be issned, taxation for
the payment of these bonds begins at
once. Bat can the building of th e
water works begin at onoe? If the
bonds are issned can they be sold?
And if they were offered and no takers
found would not the oredit of the town
be injured to some extent? The
Tribune has interviewed a number
of citizens and the editor has
concluded from his talks that buei
ness men think now is not an
anBpioions time for the holding of snoh
election, although that paper has al-
ready announced itself ready to brand
as an enemy of the town any man who
should oppose the issnanoe of the
bonds.
There is just now ajstrong sentiment
among the people against any addi-
tional taxes at a time when money is
unusually hard to get. If the election
is foroed in these depressing times is
there not danger that the bond issue
would be voted down? Would it not
be wise for the oonnoll to repeal the
ordinance calling this election and
await more promising times. Suoh
motion, however, need not delay one
A Damaged Eye.
There are eome neople who have no
imagination, but cling to the literal with
painful assiduity. Jim Blaisdell was one
of these, and his happy faculty of taking
things seriously lost him an elegant wife.
It was this way: Colonel Lafitte is a
southerner and very sensitive, especially
about his personal appearance, which is
quite distinguished. He rather liked
Jim, and Jim doted on the colonel’s
daughter, and it was a foregone conclu-
sion in the family that Jim would win
the girl, as the father was on his side.
One day the colonel took Jim out to
ride behind his cantankerous Kentucky
mare, and she kicked the dashboard of
the buggy into smithereens and landed
both gentlemen by the roadside.
This wouldn’t have been so bad, as
neither of them was hurt, and the colo-
nel was doing the driving, but Jim had
to discover a fracture in the colonel’s
right eye, and he at once began to make
a fuss about it.
“You’re seriously hurt, sir,” he said in
bis most sympathetic manner.
“Nothing wrong with me,” snapped
the colonel, who was looking for the
mare in a dazed sort of way.
‘‘But your eye, sir, is badly damaged.”
“Never mind the eye. Help mo to
catch the critter.”
“I must insist on bandaging your eye
first, colonel. Why, it is a blurred mass,
and I greatly fear you have lost the
sight of it,” persisted Jim.
"Look here, you young fool,” roared
the colonel, “can’t you attend to your
own affairs. That eye, sir, is glass-
do yon hear—gljissl glass!”
And that is why Jim didn’t marry the
colonel’s daughter.—Detroit Free Press.

A number of pieces of silver gilt with
dead surface have been recently seen.
They are perhaps more attractive than
the polished gilt.
There is a new demand for intaglips.
The mannishness of women’s attire
seems to require an intaglio ring as a
proper accessory.
There seems to be a fashion for rings
with oblong settings. These have an
almost geometrical accuracy in the gold
ontline. Within are precious stones in
one or two rows. One ring had cross-
lines of gold set with small stones at the
points of intersection.—Jewelers’ Circu-
